Oh My Gosh! I havent realized until now how much I miss blogging! Beware of the loose fingers of mine, dear readers because this is going to be a very long entry, so much to tell and god knows when will I be able to visit the internet cafe for another update. Here we go….

My eldest sister came to Jakarta from Netherlands with her husband and her daughter in tow for a 3 weeks vacation. After a hug-kiss-cry sessions with the whole family and relatives in Jakarta, my family went to Surabaya to visit my 2nd eldest sister, it was an amazingly fast 13 hours road trip by car drivenby the expert himself, my bro-in-law Henk, I felt like flying, truly and so as the confession of the member of my family that joined in too and had to take the anti-roadsickness pill to keep them asleep and so didnt feel anything. We stayed at a bungalow house at Grand Residence for 5 days and to tell you the truth, we just spent our time there by swimming, swimming and another swimming session like 3 times a day.

To cut the story short as i’m racing against time, After a jolly good time in Surabaya and a sneaky way we drove out of the hotel at 4 o’clock in the morning leaving my 2nd eldest sister to take care of everything and as to not having a sad goodbyes with her 3 sons who were still sleeping, we drove back to Jakarta. I must admit guiltily that I havent seen my 2nd eldest sister for years and so we, the “charmed” sisters took some snapshots for keepsakes.

Back in Jakarta, my niece wanted, well begged and abit forced me to take her to the salon and how can I resist her with such angelic and puppy dogs’ eyes? She is 13 years old and she already surpass me in height. Then my family went to visit my dad’s grave and again my niece and I just cant resist to take snapshots of ourselves.

The rest of the trips were spent at Puncak Pass, Hard Rock Cafe, CJs Pub at Mulia Hotel, Mystere at Ritz Carlton and Mangga Dua and other shopping malls for them to buy things to bring back to Netherlands.I wanted to say that I had fun with my best friend CONNIE when she met us at CJs and we really had fun after alot of wrong turns as my bro-in-law isnt so good with the direction and we are all not familiar with our own town’s streets and places to go hehehe.

All in all, I had fun this summer and everyone in my family were too, my niece cried when we said goodbye at the airport and I’m going to miss her more than I miss my sister hehe, the next week after they flew back to where they came, a box of pickwick tea came by post, all sorts of flavor were inside the package, what a nice touch to a memorable vacation .
