my passport, after 2 months and 3 weeks or so passed, was finally out on the day i had to fly to Indonesia (18th of January). i don't want to tell the story because it's just ... anyway long story short, i cried a lot on the day before i flew because the passport wasn't even out after i waited for literally hours in uni doing nothing but internet (it got boring, trust me). so on the 18th, i had to get up early to get my passport and thank God i could go back home with my sister
we took KLM so we got to Jakarta at around 6.30pm. we had to take the travel to go to Bandung so we bought the tickets and fortunately we're going soon. unfortunately though traffic was everywhere cos it's time when people went back from the office and it was raining too. we just reached Bandung at 11.30pm when it's actually just a 3hr car ride
i can't remember what we did the next day, but we went to eat some Indonesian food of course. we went here and there; bought some kebaya because a friend of the family was getting married. we went to Jakarta again on the 21st(?) by travel and straight went to Thamrin City to buy more kebaya. after going round and round the place, we got some and went to another great aunt's house to spend the night. the marriage was held on the next day in a hotel so it's really nice. on that day itself we went back to Bandung because my mum was going back to KL on Monday late afternoon
being in Bandung with grandma and great aunt was not exactly pleasant. food was great of course because i haven't had grandma's cooking in months. it's just that i had to be a driver whenever they had some business to do outside
one day sis and i went to Trans Studio which is an indoor themepark in a mall. it was amazing! it's not that expensive compared to the themeparks in KL so it was totally worth it. there are 20 rides we can take but we only took 8 because the others were either for kids or we had to wait for the time to be opened. amazingly we got home at around 5pm! and we even had the time to get some lunch and went around the mall
we had to go to Jakarta again on the 28th because i was meeting my friends on the 29th. on that day itself we ate a lot. or actually me and sis ate a lot. i don't know how many times i ate that day.. but it's all good; we go to Indonesia to eat! ahha
something weird happened on the 28th evening. so we slept on my great aunt's house until we had to go to KL on the 2nd. the room where we slept in was quite big but there's a lot of things inside, including 2 mirrors. so around 2am, i woke up and - i don't know if it was my imagination or it was real - saw a face. it's more like a shadow cos it's black. but it reminded me of my great uncle - it was hs house after all. so yeah i saw him and i couldn't sleep for a while. turned out that there's a 80% chance that if you wake up at 2-3am, someone is staring at you >_<
on the 30th my sis, my friend and i went to Central Park by busway. it was really far so i even got the time to sleep on the bus. haha,, we walked around the mall for a while and got back at around late afternoon. we got stuck in traffic for around 3 hours cos it just rained and because it's the time for people to go back home from the office
on the 2nd we had to go back to KL. there was a delay but it wasn't that long so that's okay. the plane was very empty but my sis and i got separate seats for some weird reason -_- apparently the weather was acting up so it felt like riding a roller coaster. but we only got a safety belt, whereas on roller coasters we have more secure belts. or whatever it's really called. anyway it happened twice but we landed safely
the next day i went out with 2 school friends and walked around Pavilion. we watched a movie called War Horse and ate some ice cream. walked around some more and got back home at maybe 9.30pm
on the 5th my primary school friend came to visit so we went out to hang. at first i picked her and her friend up in KL tower before going to the Bukit Bintang area to take their luggage. we went to Masjid Negara to do our prayers before going to Batu Caves. it wasn't as far as i have imagined but we still got there at like 6.30pm. Thaipusam is coming soon so there's a lot of people there. i parked the car really far away from the entrance so we had to walk a bit before climbing up the some-hundred-step stairs. apparently there's a lot of temples even inside the cave so it was amazing for me to see - it was my first time being there after all. we spent some time there - around an hour or so - taking some pictures, seeing what people had to do up there, etc. there's a market at the bottom so we went around and my friends bought some stuff. after finishing everything, we went back to the car feeling glad because 1) the car was still there - as always i imagined the car was towed or someone crashed into it, 2) of air-cond! we had to go meet my friend's friend because that's where they were staying for the night. took us some time to meet but we eventually agreed to meet at KFC because we hadn't had dinner yet. i got home at 11-something pm
oh! i just remember... i am finally eligible to graduate! so i'm going to have my convocation on the 13th of March!!!
