When my dad was in Miami, he lived with his good indonesian friend.well, as they hve gone through a lot of things together till the day they had to say goodbye and head back to their own country they'd lost contact n d1980's advance communication hasnt existed to salvage those decent friendship.

So after 20 years, thanx to Mark Zuckerberg, the revolution of web 2.0 apps (Facebook people...) finally make these two friends found each other. My dad of course ( i dont know how he did it..) able to connect with his long lost friend using facebook search engine. well I guess he was overwhelmed with it as he decided that the whole family need to fly to Jakarta and visit his friend at once. So i guess that wasnt a bad idea, after all...we can drop by for a day or two in Bandung for a 'shop till we drop' moment.

So I booked a flight with KLM ( a Deutsch airline with excellent services) and after my internship period ends, the whole family took off to Indonesia.

Bandung was good..the foods were great.we even got the chanced to dine smwhere at the hill (cant remember d name of the place) that had really2 fulfilling my gastronomic desire (erk..~)...N not to mention, I spend like 400 bucks just for clothes..W.O.W..!

After Bandung, we went to Jakarta and so the stories began...

My dad called his friend and told him that we've managed to check in and the hotel was fine to us.

So they promised for a family meeting at his house n the next day, we finally made to his hse after facing quite a trouble with the 'worst in my life ever' traffic jam..

As we arrivd, my first impression abt the hse ws that it was just an ordinary bungalow...suprisingly, once the door was opened n we made our entrance..what was behind the hse was far greater astonishing view i could possibly imagined..a vast and well designed lawn...something that is unlikely in Malaysia..So i guess my family love the good view as we decided to stay at the lawn area while munching our foods.

Later after that, the mother called her daughter for an introduction... my thoughts it would be cool to have friends distance from my home country, but I was wrong..as much as the mother is deeply excited to have us be friend with each other, i cud see the impossibleness..y is that so?..well...i guess some people love built their own thoughts abt others a.k.a the freakin 'stigma'...

Dad was having the time of his life..I bet they shared the whole 20 years stories they've missed and i realized his friend kept on saying 'the good old days'..guess he missd all d best memories during their varsity years..

Mum made a new friend. with the wife of course..i like her..more than the kids actually..a very friendly person and how cud i forget her seemliness hospitality to us..thanx aunt!

We went to jakarta's best places to tour...i love the taman mini indonesia..its like the indonesia miniature park with all their best landmarks..my camera (DSLR of course..hoho..finally i have one for me..) cudnt stop shuttering pics..i luv classic architectural buildings..it reminds me of the historical era..n i always be fascinated with the stories from the past..

After d short trip, we went to a must go place to visit..d shopping mall...M.A.N!...who cud have said no for that..i guess spending 400 bucks in 2 days wasnt enough...dang~..sm1 really need to bang my head just to stop me..=D

Owh well, the trip to Jakarta went so well and dad was very happy with the 'expected' emotional meetings plus with d one great surprised dat pretty much amused him..I bet he wished d days wont end..
