Have a Nice Trip, Mom!

Tuesday, January 10, 2012

After days of rainy morning, finally the sun came up this morning. The sun finally shone. Oh this morning was sooo… beautiful!

I woke up at 6 something. I slept a little bit more, but then I realize how sunny outside. So I jumped outta bed and took Bulbul for a walk. I really enjoyed the sunshine. After these rainy days, I realize how precious sunshine is.

So today my mom is gonna fly to Holland with one of her bestfriends, Tante Hafni. In the morning, Mama made smoked beef sandwiches for breakfast, then took Deany to the dentistry clinic in Mustopo as always.

I was supposed to meet my friend in Tangerang. But she cancelled the meeting, so when Adrian woke up, I asked him to watch the DVD with me.

We watched ‘Dream House’, a psycho-thriller movie about a happy family who just started living in a new house. The actors were pretty famous, such as Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz, and Naomi Watts. Rachel Weisz looked so beautiful in that movie. Well, actually she always looks really good in any movie. She’s so pretty.

In the afternoon, Stevie came to my house. He is the cousin of Mbak Vina, from her father’s side. Stevie just came to give something for Mbak Vina. If you haven’t read anything I wrote about Mbak Vina, I’ll tell you now, that she is my cousin who lives in Rotterdam, Holland. She’s been living there since 2002. So, if there were anything we need to give to her, we gave it to anyone from the family who were going to Holland.

Mama herself needs to go to Holland to visit Opa Heru, his uncle who lives in Den Haag. Opa Heru wants to come to Jakarta, so Mama has to pick him up, because he’s already blind.

Stevie just came to give Mama something for Mbak Vina then left. Om Gusye, the father of Mbak Vina, came some couple of times after Stevie left. He also wanna give something for Mbak Vina. He brought a big bag of Mbak Vina’s favorite Indonesian snacks. He stayed for a while to have a little chat, then came back to his shop in BSD. He lives in BSD by the way.

Oh, I also wanna tell you about Om Gusye. He’s a very nice and charming guy. Actually, he’s just exactly the male version of Mbak Vina: funny, talkative, lovable, very friendly. I called him Papa when I was little.

Then, in the evening, finally Tante Hafni and her family pick Mama up. Tante Hafni was with her husband, Om Gatot, and two of their four kids, Mbak Lia and Fany. They were gonna take Mama and Tante Hafni to the airport. I had an appointment with Mbak Lia. So I meant to come with them to the airport. But the car was already really, really full, because both Mama and Tante Hafni carried lots of big suitcases. So I couldn’t come, and had to cancel my appointment again.

Right after Mama left, Adrian also left. He went to Plaza Senayan to watch at the cinema with his friends.

I watched 'Hit List' with Deany tonight. I didn't expect that movie to be such a good movie.
