Bukber Ramadhan 1447 H

Setelah sekian puluh (atau ratus?) purnama berlalu, akhirnya aku dan kawan-kawan kerja buka bareng: dari karyawan oleh karyawan untuk karyawan 😃 meaning, yag mengadakan bukan lembaga tempat kami bekerja. Dan karena suasananya sangat santai, aku sekalian mengajak keluarga ikutan. 

Hari Sabtu 07 Maret 2026 aku masih di kantor sampai pukul 17.45. Cuaca hujan sejak pukul 5 sore. Memang sepanjang minggu pertama Maret itu, Semarang terus menerus dihujani di tiap sore. Orang-orang rumah langsung berangkat ke rumah makan yang dipilih seorang kawan kerja, sedangkan aku menuju ke sana langsung dari kantor.
















N. B.:

Aku nyaris lupa kapan terakhir kali kantor mengadakan bukber (secara resmi) sampai Ranz mengingatkanku. Well, mungkin itu tahun 2012. Setelah buka, ada acara shalat maghrib berjamaah. Bahkan, kalau tidak salah, juga dilanjutkan dengan shalat isya dan tarawih berjamaah. Aku tentu pamit pulang duluan 😊

Sedjenak Koffie

This cafe is also located in the area of Kota Lama Semarang. From Starbucks, Ranz and I strolled along Jl. Letjen Suprapto, the main road of Kota Lama to take pictures. Then, we went to this eatery to have our lunch.

It is a quite small eatery. The atmosphere is quiet, really nice for those who want / need to work from cafe. Luckily, when Ranz and I arrived here, there were not many people.

Charming Kota Lama Semarang

On Thursday 19 February 2026, Ranz and I went to Kota Lama, which was first established by Dutch Colonial goverment long long time ago. Kota Lama is one popular tourist destination in Semarang, besides Lawangsewu.

Luckily, when we arrived, we saw a group of people 'swarming around' one cafe that we always visit when we go to Kota Lama. There were many of them, maybe more than 50 people altogether. They spoke Chinese so I believe they were foreign tourists. I felt excited to see this, to witness that Kota Lama is so popular that it also attracts tourists from abroad! Some news I read online informed that after there is a direct flight from Semarang to Kuala Lumpur, there are more and more tourists coming from Malaysia to Semarang.
