Nyadran

Nyadran a local custom practiced by Javanese to gather a cemetary where their ancestors buried. The cemetary located close to a mosque so there would be a preach. This day I, Lik Santo, Peni and Asri gathered with other people a Assofi Mosque of Salaman. There was a committee that collected money from the visitors/ participants. The committee also distributed snacks and meals to the visitors. The nyadran commenced at 10.30 where a kyai (Islamic scholar) gaved his preach and then led the visitors to pray. Before that I, Asri and Peni visited our mother and father tombs. The session finished at 12.00. I met my childhood friends like Djoko and Warsono.

I woke up late so I lost my prayer. Asri prepared broccoli stir fry for our breakfast. At 09.30 I, Asri, Lik Santo and Peni went to Kauman to join Nyadran session. At 13.30 I and Rahutama went back to Semarang. We stopped at Warung Bu Atmo to have lunch. At 16.00 we arrived at home. Rahutama was mad because his room was filled with a cat shit. In the afternoon I went to Tawang Stationn to a ticket to Surabaya. In the evening I went to Antok Salon to trim my hair. I then try to get airline ticket from Surabaya to Semarang. However, it was postponed because Nuri suggested me not to go to Surabaya. I asked Rahutama to cancel the train ticket.
