Cousin's wedding in Surabaya, Dec 5-7 2010

It was considered a big family gathering when my cousin planned to get married in Surabaya, where his fiance comes from.
We were provided airplane tickets to Surabaya. There were eight of us departed from Jakarta on Dec 5, 2010. We decided to take my niece, Rara, to accompany me. She's just five years old, this will be her good opportunity to travel, away from her mom (my sister).

December 5, 2010



We used Lion Air. What do you know, the plane was delayed for 1 hour. And we experienced bad thing, because the seats were not enough for the passengers. WEIRD!!!!
Most of passengers were not seated accordingly. Even my uncle and my cousin had to go out of the plane, and used another flight!

At Soekarno-Hatta Airport, departing

Our flights were only 10 minutes apart, so we were fine. My uncle rented two Kijang Innovas for us.
Arrived at Juanda Airport
We went to visit the bride family first before we went to hotel. We stayed in Quds Royal Hotel, in Tanjung Perak area.

Rara is so excited. She's going to bed

Trip to Penang, Aug 20-22, 2010

Another business trip done during fasting month. This time was for ASEAN O.R. Nurse conference.
I'm glad the location was in Penang, Malaysia. So early breakfast for our fasting was not a problem. The hotel provided the breakfast at the restaurant.

We stayed at BayView hotel, Penang

We flew on Air Asia.. I was the first in our group to arrive at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, but alas! I was the last person boarded, because lots of our nurses moved soooooo slow :(

The first day was a free day for us, because we arrived very early in Penang.

A small Malaysian-Thai community lives around this temple. Right opposite Wat Chayamangkalaram is the Dharmikarama Burmese Temple.
