Indonesia trip......

Althought we only went for 3 days, it was a tiring trip.



Day 1 (Sat)



We woke up at 4:30am and then left house at 5:45am to pick up Jonathan ( he came from malaysia then transit singapore to indonesia). Alan's bro send us to airport. We reached at about 6:10am. After checked in, we had breakfast at Soup Spoon. Breakfast was nice and cheap. That time outside was still dark.. i was very sleepy. Finally got on the flight. A whole family with 4 young children were sitting behind us.. they were very noisy. We couldn't really sleep on the plane. The meal on plane was not nice and my tummy didn't feel well maybe cos of the pressure. i didn't tell alan but i kept praying.... lucky it was ok after that.



After 2 hrs and 25 mins flight we arrived in Balikpapan, Indonesia, Leni arranged a driver to pick us. I remembered she said that car journey is about 2 hours to reach her town. But these two guys didn't really believe it. When our car started, i thought it would be better to sit on car rather that sit on plane.. however, it was wrong. We drove on those small road, not freeway. The car was going up hill and down hill, turning 90 degrees right and left. The pressure made me sick again. I only slept 30 mins in the car and at the end we took near 3 hrs to arrive Samarinda.



The driver sent us to a resturant and Leni and her family was waiting us there. When we went in we saw whole resturant were full of her guests who were coming from many places for her wedding. After lunch, Leni took us back to a hotel that she had booked for us. She would have her wedding in that hotel and she booked whole floor for her guests to stay..... WA *o*



At night, all of her guests and family had dinner together again. She had booked another chinese resturant in the biggest shopping centre in samarinda. Totally 5 tables of people. Other guests who came one day earlier than us told us .. they all went to diff resturant for diff food each day and no single dish was the same.. They were really well organised. Ashely arrived Samarinda before dinner. We walked a around the shopping centre after dinner. It is actually nothing much.



Day 2 (Sun 10.10.10)


It was Leni big day. We woke at 8am and dressed up a bit. Luckily my hair was ok and i didn't need to spend too much time to make it straight =p Leni arranged a car to pick us to church. Her wedding ceremony was straight after a church service. The service was interesting. They speak in indonesian and other person translate to mandarin immediately. Wedding ceremony just same as the one in hk. Only one different is they won't take photo with guests after that. Everyone could take a lunch box after ceremony. It was indonesian rice.. althought is simple, i love it so much. Cos i used to eat this when i was small. Before we went back to hotel, everyone would hold a balloon and all stood in front of the church and free the balloons together. It was fun =)



We were free for the whole afternoon and thought that we could go out to walk walk ourselves. However, it was rainning and we took a nap in the hotel at the end.

Wedding dinner would start at about 7pm. We dressed up ourselves before that. Luckily i still could fit on my evening gown. I bought i few months ago and it was S size. We went down at about 7. The ballroom is so grand. They had 93 tables. We were sitting in a family tables in front of the stage. Most of the ladies were wearing grand evening dresses with many bling bling stuff. However, the dishes were normal. It was just like home cook dishes. For the whole dinner, they invited a singer and some drancers for few shows. The singer is like those work in night club.. she really knows how to make everyone high. She would ask some guests to sing and even went up to stage and drance with her. During the dinner, it had lucky draw. But we didnt' get anything =). The dinner was fast. it end at about 10pm.

Day 3 (Mon)

We woke up early again. cos we needed to take 3 hours by car and needed to reach airport 1 and half hour before flight. Today my tummy was ok.. may be cope with the environment already. However, the car turning hurt my back. i couldn't sleep in the car at all.. my body kept moving left and right, left and right. And we were late to the airport, so i couldn't eat any local food before the flight =(

We reached home at about 3pm. then went out for hair cut and dinner. at night we slept at 9pm until next morning. I was very very tired.................

This trip we only stayed in hotel and didn't walk anywhere by ourselves at all. And didn't really need to spend money. However, we have so much fun to see all the freinds . Thanks Leni for everything!!

Next stop is HK ^.^
