THE SCHOOL HOLIDAYS

This two weeks school holiday is nearly over. School holiday is never meant for me I suppose. There are the same routine jobs to do.
I went to Bali Indonesia with my siblings , Pak Itam, Kak No, Mak Yan and my daughter, Masyitha. It was a good experience and we stayed in two comfortable rooms, Amadea Seminyak Resort and Villa. We visited a lot of places and managed to watch two dance performances, the Barongngan and Kecak Dance live. Since there is no shopping complex there, I didn't buy that really anything but I managed to buy a Gucci handbag with the help of Kak No credit card. It costs me a fortune. I paid it the very next day I reached home.
On Tuesday we had high tea in China Treasure in Sime Darby Convention Center. Pak Itam organized it, Kak No paid it with kak Esah and Boboy present. May we have some other nice and sweet moments like these in future. It is not easy for us to get together again any more at this age. Thankyou everybody.

HOME

We went home on Friday night by 1950 flight from Jakarta Soekarno by MAS. Touched down in KLIA at 2250 and we were backed to Bandar Warisan for the night.

The Friday morning we went to Masjid Istiqlal located at Taman Wijaya Kusuma, which is the biggest Masjid in South East Asia. It has five floors. Then we went to Mangga Dua to buy Indon handicraft, comparable to Tanah Abang and lastly we went for our last lunch at 24-hour Garuda.

I bought five books in Gramedia and one in Kinokuniya Grand Indonesia.

Holiday

Suddenly surprisingly as if we have all the time in the world. We killed the few hours we had in Grand Indonesia again to bite and play the free wifi.
This morning we were in Tanah Abang. I bought a white blouse for myself and him. Later we went to Block M, then to Plaza Indonesia before the Grand.

My time

Just finished our makan in Grand Indonesia Foodstall, Jakarta. It is considered expensive eating here since this is their exclusive shopping mall. We were from Bandung by train at 1130 reaching Gambir Railway Station, Jakarta 1530 local time. We are staying in One Studio Residence, a motel exactly by Malaysian standard which is in the heart of Jakarta.

My Day

This is posted in San Francisco Mertabak.
My third day in Bandung is quite a good time. The three of us went to Crater Tangkupan Prahu, later to Sari Ater some sort hot spring to dunk our feet, to Kampong Daun and ad a light meal. Later we went to Paris van Java Shopping Mall, managed to watch the Angklung Concert - that was a sweet experience and to buy Kartika Sari brownies, jajan and dinner in San Francisco Mertabak.

The light meal of goreng pisang is nice really.



Again I managed to have my feet on these two spots in Bandung.

My time

I come again to this part of the world for the second time this year. I am now in Bandung Indonesia with my siblings Pak Itam and Mak Yan. We flown in through Airasia touched down in Bandara Hussein Sastranagara on Sunday 28 Nov 2010.
This entry is done in the cafe of Heritage F O which is quite near our Progo Hotel.

THE HARI RAYA HOLIDAYS

At this age, Hari Raya is a day to get back together and exchange notes. It is our turn to become the old parents where the kids come home to us. I am accepting this fact of life - just that I don't have any grandchildren yet. None of my kids is married.

This Raya we went to Taiping, Kuala Kangsar, Ipoh and we managed to pass through Cameron Highland before going home. That was our third trip to Cameron this year alone. Second day the two of us went to Semenyeh Selangor to visit his brother. On the third day we went again to Ipoh and later to Taping for his old school reunion.

I went to work on the 6th Shawal and to Rawang and Batang Kali on the 7th. We are going to Ipoh again tomorrow.

THE HOLIDAYS

School holidays is nearly over. It is ten days this time. Where have I been really?
Since Ramadhan coincides with the holiday I felt it is better to spend the time at home.
But actually four days I went to school.
The one day holiday I went to settle the installation of the home phone and the internet.
However right now the internet is not activated yet.
And that made me poorer RM135.00 for the phone without any monthly bill yet.

THE SIXTEEN DAYS HOLIDAY

Today is the last day of the sixteen days holiday. Where have I been really?
The first four days I managed to go Kangar and Langkawi (only one day) with Mak Yan and Ita to visit my old man really. With that I went to Seri Manjung. I hope to go again to Manjung - like last time when Ita was studying there.
I went to our KL house with him to send our things there. Suppose this will be the last month in Ulu Yam. We also went to a wedding.
The last two days both of us went to Ipoh to visit his father and for their mother's kenduri arwah.
In between time I went to school for four days. Do some marking, read my books, tried drawing a logo for PPT6S. Most of the surf the net. Bless everybody
