Photos for memory...

It's time to say Goodbye

Yes, finally the visit came to end. After 3 months we stayed with our family in Jakarta, it is time to go back to Cochin. The last day we were in both my grandparents houses was emotional days... There was tears, because they wish I can stay longer.

Everybody in the family came to the Airport to see us take off. That time we felt more relax. At least we can laugh together.. ^_^. Don't worry, we will meet again soon. Insha Allah...

Picnic to Wiladatika Flower Garden

Before our Jakarta visit have to end, we (my grandmother and aunties) went together for a picnic. We started from our house in the morning. Earlier, my granmother already cooked some food for us to pack and eat when we reach in the garden... The picnic spot was very near to my grandmother's house. Only about 15 minutes by bus. It is a Flower Garden named Wiladatika.

The garden was very nice... even it was hardly to find any flowers... hehehe. But there are a lot of spots good for picnic. We chose one place near a dried waterfall under a big tree. I slept... hehehehe.

We spent a good time there... After we ate all the food, me and Aulia playing around. Big people busy taking photos for memory... ;-p

Me & Aulia Part 3

I never drink milk from a bottle. But when I saw Aulia drink from bottle, I will ask for the same too. But if Aulia is not around... don't ask me to drink..!!!

Afternoon Play

This is what we usually did almost every afternoon when I was staying in my grandmother's house. A mini-car ride...

The ride is soooo attractive with a loud children songs... I just couldn't resist it... hehehe. My grandmother will take me and Aulia outside to ride the mini car. Of course we have to pay and, thank god, it is cheap... ;-p

For one round (means one price) we can ride on the car for one song long. If we want another song, we have to pay one more time... Well, my grandmother only gave us 1 time ride at once, cause she had to pay for 2 children... hehehe...

My little Aunties..

I have some little Aunties in Indonesia... I mean they are actually still children (like me ;-p), but they are my Aunties...

The first one seen in this picture is Vani, Mama's youngest sister. Although she has a tall and big body, she's only 11 years old and still studying in 6th standard. She was my first friend in Jakarta hehehe....

The other one is Sofie. She's a daughter of Grandfather's younger sister. So she's my aunty. She's studying in 3rd standard. Actually, they live in Mama's native place in Bumiayu. But when I was in Jakarta, they came to visit and stayed with us for 1 week. I still have some little aunties uncles in Bumiayu, but too bad I can't see them because we didn't go to Bumiayu that time. Hope next time we can meet them all.... Insha Allah.

Visit to Mbah Hari's house

My grandmother lives near by to some of her sister and brothers. So it is very easy for us to visit to each other. Of couse that was the first time for me to meet them all.

One day, we went to visit Mbah Hari and Mbah Eny (Mama called them Pakde & Bude, Mbah Hari is my grandmother's elder brother). They live with their daughter and grandchildren (it means my cousins also).

Mbah Eny is a very good cook. At least thats what Mama told me... hehehehe. Becasue I can see her eating all the time there... ;-p. While the best thing for Mama is the food... mine is the chace to meet my coisins and play with them...

Meet Naufal & Echa

Our mothers (Mama, Tante Lily & Tante Uci) are best friends in internet ^_^. Earlier, they share a lot of things together cause they feel in the same situation: Indonesian woman who live in India (Tante Lily's husband is not an Indian ;-p). They lived in Mumbai. After so many times making plas to meet in Mumbai (and always failed !!!), finally we met in... JAKARTA.

Yes, though we lived in India, we were all in Jakarta at the same time. The meeting took place in Park Lane Hotel where Tante Lily and her son Naufal stayed. We came around 11 AM in the morning. The meeting is only about our mothers talked.. talked.. and talked. We, babies, had to adjust with it ;-p. The meeting end at 9 PM.. !!!

Meet Nadia

One day we have guests. They were Auntie Natalia with her family. Mama and Auntie Natalia known each other for a couple of year through internet. Sometimes they chat, but mostly they email to each other.

So when we were in Jakarta, we plan to meet. since their house is near to my grandfather's house, they decided to come to visit us.

Nadia is Auntie Natalia's daughter. Her father also an Indian, but they all live in Jakarta. We played while our mothers busy talked. They brought me sweets. Thanks Nadia ^_^

Monas

When I was in Jakarta, I went for a morning trip to National Monument (Monas) which is known as the trademark of Jakarta. I went there with my family. There is a super big garden there. And we can make a small trip inside the complex by dokar (a traditional car that pull by one or two horse). And it's a good place for playing kite also .
