Phew back! ^_^ there are lotza tings I gota write about in today’s entry…. Maybe gona break it in a few entries so it wun look too long :p im back from central java… It was a fun albeit tiring journey… me n mum were fetched at 5am on 11th dec 2004 by my cousins (ko haw2 n ko kiat2) and my aunt (mum’s 2nd sis), went to fetch my cousin-in-law-to-be hehehehe and went to fetch my granma n mum’s 3rd sis… finally left bandung at 6am…

It was a smooth journey… everyone brought something for everyone to eat.. my mum brought bread, ii akiun brought lontong… despite the overflowing food in our car, we still stopped to buy tahu sumedang.. :p yummy lehhhhhhh *still drooling* in the car the 3 sisters chatted nonstop, gossiping around, reminiscing about the past, about the groom’s childhood, n how time flies sooooo fast that now his time to get married n start a family ^_^ 30 years is darn long n yet so fast…

Well2… we decided not to stop for lunch coz we were ALL so full… meanwhile my uncle (mum’s bro) reached liao… after 8.5 hours in the car, we reached semarang… my uncle was very well rested but hvnt eaten lunch too.. so we all went for lunch at PESTA KEBOEN… except for k haw2, ci sylvi and my kiu meh… we didn’t really take a long time to find that place… the place was pretty discouraging from the front.. coz it looked deserted n seemed like an old house… but when we went in… It was a dutch house, vast and clean, lotz of pretty accessories to see… the scooters, motorcycles, becaks, n even delman… the owner must be very rich, coz he owns this big collection of cigar rings.. my cousin said it cost quite a fortune…

Our ‘welcome’ drink was beras kencur… we were ‘erhhhh’ no one like jamu :p so we asked the waitresses to dabao.. wakakakaka gave it to my kiumeh :p hehehe the name of the foods are very unique… and the menu was written in old indo language… something like ‘ajam goreng djangan tanja’ wad d hell… haha.. but it was yummy… J really one kind of restaurant…

After that, we went back to hotel coz we dabao for k haw2, c silvi n the jamu for kiumeh… and THENNNNN one by one the rest of the family came n ofcoz given a chance to update each other, my granma’s room was soon become the convention hall of everyone…. So we couldn’t go out until about 6 -_-‘ tho the hotel is soo near to the shopping centre, it was so difficult to get everyone’s butts up…. When everyone was finally ready, kiumeh said that ii anyun (the groom’s mum) was going to have the ‘minodaren’ wadever u call it… THIS means we have to be formal n clean… -_-‘ so we all bathed lorrrrrrrr in the end we had to wait till about 8.30 till ii anyun came -_-‘ what a waste of time… then 3 restaurants that we passed by were full… in the end we ate at this small shop.. I wanted to eat rawon but finished liaooooo L so I ate nasi liwet… quite nice but not nice… :p

Well… k kris (the groom) was present n he ate 2 plates man!!! He was anxious for the big day.. After dinner we stayed quite long for chit-chat n old-time reminiscing… then finally we went back to hotel, we were told that the make-up people will be at the horizon hotel by 4am…. My granma moved room coz it’d be easier for her make-over… after all she’s also the biggest star aside from the bride, groom n the 4 parents… *bumper* i'd juz go later!!*
