Lebaran 2006

It was so sad that I couldn’t go back to Malaysia to celebrate Hari Raya with my beloved family but it was also quite thrilled celebrating raya in Indonesia for the first time.
In Ramadhan month, everything was still the same. No difference with what we had before but when raya was around the corner already, all the shops are closed till we didn’t have place to go to eat. On the day before Raya we(me, Haha, John, Aini, Syaz, Nat) went to Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, by bus.


We reached Kg Rambutan Bus Station and took taxi to go to Wisma Malaysia. I suggested to use meter for the cab while another suggested fixed price, bargain first then only get on the cab. And we used meter and unfortunately we got cheated. The meter has been fixed that it ran so fast. N it cost Rp.140000. Everybody was cursing the cab driver as we arrived at our destination. Jakarta is really different compared to the place I’m staying…Jakarta is more developed and somewhat more civilized.. People there are so open-minded and not so darn conservative like people here. We stayed In Wisma Malaysia at Jln. Cokroaminoto..


We went to several malls like Plaza Sarina….

I've turn around the photo but when it's uploaded, all the changes made are nullified...stupid human's invention!!

We didn't buy a thing bcoz the prices are exorbitantly high

On the way to Plaza Semanggi we found a spectacular park, so we took a break and had some some pictures taken there....
Plaza Semanggi….
At Plaza Semanggi we played games there since game machines at Jatinangor Town Square are so limited…..
We broke our last fast at The Buffet…..
It was expensive but worth it..we ate so much till one of my friends puked three times

We were loafing there until all the shops closed. Then we went back by cab to our Wisma Malaysia. Everybody was so exhausted….

The next day we celebrated Hari Raya at the embassy…We could eat malaysian’s food which was nice especially the Rendang. We also met our friends that studying at UI, Unkrida, Uni trisakti, Uni Moestopo and bla2..It was no fun compare to celebrating raya with our family but still it was much better that staying at yr room alone the whole day....
Barisan Kuning...

The we went to Dufan(Dunia Fantasi) at Anchol. It is a theme park that is bigger than genting theme park...
Rumah Miring( inclined-floor house)...
In the log......
We got wet after “Arung Jeram”
We didn’t have enough time to play all the games, so we just played the ones that are the most thrilled..

On the way back, we didn’t get air-conditioned bus, so we took the normal bus which didn’t pass thru toll( high way) and It took 5 hours in that hot(sauna-like), packed(sardine-like) and suffering (hell-like) journey… We slept most of the time......
That’s the end of our excursion to Jakarta..
