An ice for a hot coffee

A much larger and more explosive Merapi eruption occured on 1am, Friday, November 5, 2010. I was in a truly deep sleep I didn't realize the thunder clatter- like sounds of the volcanic eruptions heard by my housemates. 

I woke up as usual for my Subuh prayer, had my breakfast, then I did my study. I was bothered by nothing but the gray ashes which had been filling the atmosphere since days ago. My housemates and I gathered in our pallor for a together- breakfast while watching the news which most broadcasting about the eruptions. Then I felt the heat of worrying and scared. 

Malaysian Embassy had us evacuated that morning, at 9.45am to be exact. It was an experience I shall reminisce till forever. The ashes, the eruptions, those emergency situations..

It’s very unfortunate that UGM were closed that all of us missed the opportunity to have a guest lecture from the Ministry of Health. I hope we'll still have the chance to have a talk with people from such department.

PRAY FOR INDONESIA
