A Woman's Weekly

Ok, actually I’m in the middle of scrapbooking the photos. (I know…..!)

But so many of you have asked to see them so many times. ;-p

So here it is then. I’m new at this Slides thing so my captions don’t read as well as I’d like them to. Bear with me on that one ah!

We met up with my Brother and his Family in Jakarta during the recent school holidays, and had a great time! Having ALL the cousins there was chaos, but as always, fun and memorable.

It’s Miss Mel & Spunky’s first trip overseas and second trip to Indonesia for Cool Daddy, Miss D & I. It was a first trip to Jakarta for all of us. Jakarta is a big city with lots to do. We managed about a week of activities. The SeaWorld in Ancol, shopping in ITC Mangga Dua, and even managed a trip to Bandung to shop at the Factory Outlets there and a scenic train ride through mountainous regions and tunnels, back to Jakarta.

Spunky ‘matured’ during this trip, suddenly able to ‘handle’ things ‘independently’, like quickly going to put on her shoes by herself when she sensed everyone getting ready to go. Being all there also gave us the opportunity to celebrate Miss Mel’s 5th Birthday together. That was really special for her. Miss D loved the dolphins most of all. She also loved the time she spent with cousin Ashley.

I can still also hear the way Ashley says “permisi aunty…”. And by the end of our stay there, Colleen had her walking skill down pat! It was so nice to be there to see Colleen take those steps.

Cool Daddy and I appreciate the time together without distraction from the office. ;-p

We’re so thankful to Denny for letting all of us stay in his apartment while in Jakarta. It’s great that we got to chat with him for a bit during the weekend when he wasn’t at work.

Thankful also for Jenny for having us at her house in Bandung. Much appreciated indeed!

We’re hoping Air Asia will fly in to Semarang sometime soon, so we can go visit them there again!
