Travel day n flight to Jambi

I spend my first night in the airport... tried to stay up late walked in the terminal back and forth. i took the bus shuffle to terminal 1 to 2 and 3 just to kill some times. People started to come around 4 -ish.  couldn't stay up longer then i decided to book the nearest hotel called Aston Cengkareng Hotel near the airport. it took about 15 minutes by taxi. I arrived at around 7 but i couldn't check in, not till 12 in the afternoon. Damn it! i was so tired, instead of waiting in the hotel lobby  i then decided to go hopping and buy some stuffs for the wedding. Mangga Dua.where i headed to...huge shopping mall, it took half an hour by taxi. I was so excited and bought things i don't need. Thing seems so cheap n i luv it
i finished shopping around 2pm went back to the hotel. i was so tired. i wanted to have a good night sleep. i walked to the nearest mall and found this spa called "Bambu spa"! excellent.. i had an hour massage. it was so damn good, $6 is what i paid for such a good massage. right in front of the spa, there is a salon, i had facial for $5. 


The hotel wasn't like what i expected.. i was kind of disappointed. shower was suck... the toilet flash didn't work properly... i didn't get what i paid. but it happens. i asked the receptionist to wake me up at 3 for early breakfast for ramadhan.. yes we have meal called "sahut" between 3-4 am. Back in Sydney i have never had one cos i was too lazy. My grandma usually prepares the meals and wake me up when it is ready. anyway..they did call me. i had my very first sahur in Indonesia and went back to sleep at 4am.
i had such a good sleep... and ready to roll. i went back to salon and had my hair wash for $5, did little shop then airport. they have free shuffle for their guest. my flight to Jambi was delay as always.. but it was good flight and felt so happy to be back.

Motherhood

Motherhood! I really enjoy being a mum, perhaps because my kids are young and I am  still in complete control of their life! their well being are depends on me as their mum. They said "Teach them what you wanted to learn when you were a little instead of give them what you wish to have" im not sure what I wanted or wish to learn. Perhaps Piano, I always wish I could be able to play any musical instruments or perhaps I wish I have the "people skill" how to deal with people as I was so shy. Most of those leaders aren't really the smartest but one thing they have in common is their skill of how to convincing or pursuing people! I know for sure the only precious thing I could give my kids is my time! playing and explaining thing. they are little so everything is new and there is always new exciting thing for them to know. like last week I told Zack we are going to have a walk to the hill next to little manly beach where there are little bunnies because...

My Indo (Jambi) Wedding

Jambi Traditional wedding cloth hand painting One of the happiest days of my life… Yes the wedding went perfect like what I expected. Words can’t explain how I felt but I will try my best. Seems like everyone likes Yusuf Kevin (that’s what they called him). I really wish he could speak Bahasa, blame on me!! I was too lazy to teach him my language. On Saturday a day before the wedding, we visited my aunty, she offered Shea a place to stay but we refused, rejection isn’t polite here they expected you to always say Yes all the time. it is more to the culture thingy. We went back to the village… everyone was waiting and excited to see Bule (white/western) to take some pictures. Derek and Shea were like celebrity of the weekend. The kids followed wherever they went. Shea bought about 30 kids ice cream which cost only $5 they were all happy. Bless him. We stayed for a few hours and learn the Indo sentence for the marriage. Shea has to remember bahasa word “Aku terima nikahi ...
