While the girls were still asleep, I took Arkan in my arms and sat together while he slowly wakes up from the sunrise. We sat together looking at each other. I don't know whats going on in his mind, but mine was in complete disbelief; "This little guy is my son".
We sat there looking at teach other by the window. It was for me, a beautiful moment that I will cherish.
We went to Ancol beach on Saturday Morning.
My little girl wasn't
feeling well, her cough hasn't stopped, and my mom said that a good
morning sea air should help a lot, and she was right.
Ancol beach itself has grown. Unfortunatelly it still site between Jakarta's poluted harbour to the east and factories to the west. you can still see them in the horizon. But for the moment, enjoy the pictures and video.
...where was I??
It was a bit dry that day, so dry that when I wanted to go to the toilet, the nearest one with running water is 500 meters away. But the view from the class room was amazing. It was an open door class room, and since its near to a farm, occasionally there were chickens or ducks that went to the class room, surprisingly nobody took notice but me and my father. Must be an everyday sight for everyone.
We finished class an hour after shollat Jum'at, and went back to the hotel and packed our bags. The host treated us to a seafood banquet at Totang Rasa Restaurant just before we leave for Lombok. I have never ate so many shrimps in my life, and these were king prawns... delicious. There was also this fish soup called "Sepat". Its not made from a sepat fish, nor did it taste sepat (bitter), but its just what its called. It was really tasty, and some people here say that the food is also known as the "In-Laws Ignorer" food, coz once you eat it, you wouldn't care if your mother in-law was around.
