Jakarta Trip 10 June - 17 June 2011

Jakarta was never listed as our holiday destinations. Things are expensive and the most important is the transport is not convenience. So why did we go there this time? Well, Mr.'s close friend was having his wedding ceremony in Jakarta. So, Mr. wanted to go and I took this chance as the best time to travel before another new member arrive somewhere in October. The wedding was actually at 19th but then my Master's final exam was on the 18th. So I have to change the flight for me and Dave from 22nd to 17th and it costs extra Rp. 240.000 for 2.

Luckily the flight was not the low cost carrier, which means that we still can adjust the departure and arrival date. Unlike the Idul Fitri trip that we have to let go in August. The Medan - KL - Medan and KL - Singapore - KL flights are booked in August with pretty good deals. However, I will be in my 34 weeks and not sure if I will be able to fly at that time.

Back to the topic. Jakarta indeed is a very nice place to visit. Except the public transport that is not convenience at all. Luckily we stay with Mr.'s aunt and so fortunate that one of her daughter was taking leave from work. So, technically, she's driving us all over the place.

As usual, Dave was very excited to ride on airplane. He asked what is the name of the airlines that we were flying with. We went to Jakarta with Citilink and flew back with Lion Air. He is demanding to fly with airlines that start with B alphabet next time.

Nothing much on the first day. On the second day we went to Mall of Indonesia (MOI) and lets Dave played a bit. Surprisingly, I bumped into Tonton, my Grade 10 classmate that I haven't seen for years. MOI has a great stuffs for children to enjoy.

On the third day, we went to Pasific Place. Here, I met Nat for dinner. Yeah, things are not the same anymore. College life we used to hang out, but we can only met for couple of hours during this visit.

On the fourth day, we went to Bandung. There a few places to visit in Bandung. However, due to time limitation, we just went to Tangkuban Perahu.

Stagnant Blog

My blog has been stagnant for couple of months. Actually I have lots of things to write but I just cannot find the time. I thought that after I took 1 semester off, then I will be able to update my blog. However, it's just the same. Apparently, household works are more than the office works. Restless. Things can get more hectic at home than at the office. Similar to when you are dealing with kids, it's like endless work compare to the household works.

Things that I have missed to write that maybe I will write again when I have time. The first was my Vietnam's trip, then Chinese New Year and many more. The most important part is actually the feeling when I found me pregnant again. It was about 20 weeks ago. I am in my 25 weeks now. So, it's about 3 months time before a new member join us in the family.

After sometimes, I realized that I won't be able to have a proper career path in my life anymore. After a few years, I just realized that it was all over at the time when I decided to get married. So, sometimes when I recall back, I might think that maybe it would be better when I don't get married in the earlier age. There are like lots of things that I haven't done in life and yet I couldn't do it anymore due to the responsibility of marriage life. For example, I were being asked to be a tour leader to Australia in this coming August. Well, I always wanted to do that in my earlier age, but no chance. Now, the opportunity is here, but I cannot take it anymore. So, the financial wise is not that great on my side.... ^^

Well, that was when I talked about the career path. However, when I looked at Dave. He's like the best in life that I ever get. No words will be able to describe the feelings...
