Thursday night.. after office hour..
Hello! Welcome back for me to Singapore. Last weekend was the first time I went back to Indonesia only for the weekend. It was such a fruitful weekend, even though the beginning was quite bad. I missed my flight (for the first time!). Thank God we got another flight at 10pm. The moral of the story: in December I should just bring my luggage to office and leave immediately after work to the airport.
What I did last weekend:
1. Commencement photos with Nic, Pril, and Nyz
It was our first elegant photos. 24 poses, my goodness. We could not think of any other pose. Luckily we changed costume (so half with commencement gown and half with our little black dress). Most of the time was spent on make-up (there was only one make-up artist). We only started the photoshoot at 1pm!! And my mom..kept calling me, "Are you done?" >.< Anyway, we had a nice late lunch with my family + Nic,Pril,Nyz+Paul+Rc. 5hours together felt so short.. :(
2. After lunch, I attended evening Mass with my parents and Paul. It was the feast of Christ the King. After Mass there was Eucharistic adoration :) One favorite thing from Masses in Indo: we do not rush during Eucharistic prayer. Then, we went to eat nasi padang. To be honest, I'm not a fan of nasi padang. I'm not enthusiastic about trying different food. During lunch, when Paul asked, "What is this?" I just turned to my parents and Monic made this sound, "Duhh..you don't know this one?" (oops!) Anyway, so yeah..finally Paul tried nasi padang. After dinner, we went to downtown walk at SMS. It's an opened area with restaurants around you and live music! Before chillax-ing, me, my mom, and Paul just walked around SMS. Guess what? I bumped into my high school friend!!!
3. Sunday - "busy" day
In the morning we attended the Holy Matrimony of Ci Yaya and Andreas. The mass was held at Church of St. Laurensius. It is a new church, but built in 'old style'. It has high ceiling like Church of Sts Peter and Paul with the painting on the ceiling and it has the statues of 12 apostles behind the altar. Ci Yaya was sooo gorgeous. Her make-up didn't make her look like a different person :P
In the afternoon, we all went to Lippo!! Hahaha. Me and my mom went to style my hair while Paul had coffee with my dad. Somehow my dad asked him to try "tape", the fermented cassava. Hahaha. In the evening, we went to the reception. It's nice to see Ci Fanny and her family :) My mom managed to chat with Ci Yaya's mom. Apparently Ci Yaya shared to her mom that she taught me to do make-up and to tidy up my room. Hahaha. Her mom told my mom that she regarded me as her little sister. So touched to hear that :)
4. Monday
Raining!! So we could not go to the wet market. We only when to the 'modern market' at SMS (equivalent to Singapore's wet market). My mom bought some stuff for cooking and mangoes :D
We also went to buy fruit juice, Jus Kode, near the wet market area. Ahhh felt so good to drink my favorite juice: guava+strawberry!!
I tried to cut the corn to make 'bakwan jagung', but I was sooo slow, so messy, and my dad has called my mom that he's on the way home! So my mom just instructed me to watch and learn. She made 'baby' long bean (half of the size of long bean, in Indo they call it "baby buncis", Paul said in Singapore it's called turtle bean) with minced chicken, muntahu (silk tofu with minced chicken), kangkung, bakwan jagung, and fried egg with lap cong (my dad said that day we became vegetarian because we had sooo much veggie).
And tradaaaaa..time to go home..
I've been going SG-Jakarta for so many times, but I still cried every time I left Indo. I cried on the plane, I cried when I reached Singapore, and I cried when I reached my room.
But I really thank God for the fruitful weekend :):)
I wish one day I can make my home really warm too, so that my kids miss home like how I miss my home :P
