Weekend in Jakarta

Filed under: Christianity, Dining, Family, Personal Ramblings — hendrikch @ 11:30 pm

I reached Jakarta for one-week holiday on Friday evening, 9th October with Valuair for a planned-fully-packed vacation. I started Saturday by visiting my grandma, then upgrading my mom’s laptop to Windows 7 Home Premium. The upgrade took a full two hours, and after upgrade, everything works perfectly fine. In the afternoon, I assisted my mom to calculate and manage employee’s salary, which surprisingly took me almost two hours to go through everything. My brother and I slept in our sister’s apartment that evening. I spent the night there editing photos that I’ve taken that day.

Sunday was even a longer day. I woke up at 6 AM, reached GRII church at Kemayoran for 7 AM Sunday service. After the service, I went to Bakmi GM for breakfast with Evie‘s family. The breakfast was soon followed by me and Evie visiting my grandma and my parents for mango dessert and Hokkien Mee lunch. After lunch, we quickly dashed to Vivien’s holy matrimony in a church in Sunter. With me having no clue on where the church was, I drove around Sunter area with Evie’s holding my phone with GPS on. We got lost for a while before we finally found the church half hour later.

After the holy matrimony, we drove back to Mall Kelapa Gading to meet my high school friends for a mini-reunion between 3-5 PM. We walked around the mall for an hour, then we went to Mangga Dua Square for Vivien’s wedding dinner. After Evie went home, I drove home, getting lost in Kemayoran area, but found my way back home safely.

With a draining Sunday, no wonder I only woke up at 12 PM on Monday, a novelty, haha… I went to optical shop to buy a new glasses for myself. This one I wear is more than 6 years old now. The good thing is, the power of my right eye has reduced though the power of my left eye has increased a bit. The cylinder power in both eyes have magically disappear, so after 6 years, it seems like my eyes have actually gotten better. Me and family went for dinner at Duck King, and ended the day at bowling’s alley. I took 431 photos that day, and spent the night editing photos *again*.

Tuesday was not much different. I went to my dad’s office, helped to digitize handwritten notes I found there, and finished up a product brochure’s design. After dinner, I browsed the net for images for my next product’s brochure’s design.

No doubt, tomorrow will be a long day again, I’ll update again in a few days :-)
