This is Livia's last day in Jogja. This afternoon, Tante Didi, Peter, and Livia would go to Singapore. They'll go back to Switzerland from Singapore.

This morning I walked around the hotel with Deany, Bapak, and Budhe. We checked on the spa but it was still closed because it was still 7 something in the morning. Bapak and Budhe went to the swimming pool and enjoyed the sun while Deany and I had breakfast at hotel restaurant.

At 8.30, we went back to our room and got ready to meet the rest of the family in Ambarukmo. This morning we all met in Ambarukmo Hotel to have breakfast together for the farewell. There were Tante Didi, Peter, and Livia of course, and Uncle Mike, Tante Inggit, Pakde Minoel, Budhe Tut, and Om Ical. Budhe Nuk just came to say good bye, because then some of Pakde Yon relatives picked her up at the hotel.

That was my, and Deany's last chance to play with Livia. Because we were at the restaurant, Livia played waitress. She asked what Deany want, then told me to tell the waitress. But then she asked the waitress herself. Oh she's so cute! Everybody loves her.

Then she asked for cream cheese, the waitress gave her the cream cheese, and then she walked cheerfully with a plate of Croisant and cream cheese, singing, "I like cream cheese, I like cream cheese..." and I was like... OMG!! What an adorable kid!!

We ate breakfast there until 10 am (OMG Deany and I already ate a lot of breakfast in Sheraton, and we still ate in Ambarukmo). Livia fed Deany her bread. Then Livia and Deany went to the pool side and played there.

Finally it was time to say good bye. We all gather in the hotel lobby. Tante Didi and Peter were ready to go. But Livia was shocked that suddenly she's got to say good bye to her Mbak Deany. So she started crying, and her crying was really a heartbreaking crying. Oh my goodness... Deany started to cry. Even I almost cry. But Peter cheered us, said that it's a good thing that Livia cries, it means she likes us a lot.

But Livia wouldn't stop crying. So finally Deany and I had to go to the airport with them. On the way to the airport we played doctors like the other day. Livia was really happy. Then when we arrived at the airport, she wasn't crying anymore, and she was ready to say good bye. She waved cheerfully to us before going into the airport. Aww... adorable little princess.

After Tante Didi and her family left, the hotel car took me back to Ambarukmo Hotel where the other family member were waiting. We sat at the hotel lounge. Om Ical was sleeping. Bapak, Pakde Minoel, and Uncle Mike were reading newspaper. Budhe Tut and Deany were talking about their experiences as intern dentist while Tante Inggit and I listened to them. We were there until it was time to leave for Tante Inggit and Uncle Mike. They were about leaving to Singapore. So they would be with Livia again in no time.

Then, after saying good bye to the Stockwells, Pakde Minoel, Budhe Tut, Om Ical, Bapak, Deany, and I went to Taman Cemara to meet Mas Krisna and Lieke. Mas Krisna didn't join us those days before because he was out of town. He just got back today. But he already met Livia before he left.

We spent time in Taman Cemara, eating, drinking, chatting, playing with Lieke, sleeping. Then we all went to Nyonya Soeharti restaurant to eat fried chicken. If you're not indonesian, I'll tell you, Nyonya Soeharti is very famous for its fried chicken. If you visit Java, especially Central Java or Jogja, you MUST eat at Nyonya Soeharti. Oh, and BTW, she's got nothing to do with our former president Soeharto. :-p

Deany and I already ate a lot in Sheraton and Ambarukmo, so when we were at the Nyonya Soeharti, we couldn't eat anything anymore. We were really full. But then, when the meal came, I still ate anyway. It was good!

After the lunch at Nyonya Soeharti, me, Deany, and Bapak said good bye to Mas Krisna, Om Ical, Pakde Minoel, and Budhe Tut. We went back to our hotel and took a nap.
