Attended an equisite wedding reception....food was just excellent. We had something like a buffet concept with good quality hotel food. The decorations were just beautiful just like in a garden full of flowers. And the adat istiadat was an exposure for me especially when it was a first for me to experience the Jawa Sunda wedding.
the bride and groom on the way to the pelamin
full of adat istiadat
sis, dad, me and nephew
the free flow of satay..yummy yummy
the mandaling dishes
me in jakarta Went shopping after the reception, me clad in my kebaya..Haha! I was in ICT Cempaka Emas with my kebaya and after that we headed for a new mall Block M and Hard Rock Cafe at Plaza EX. Oh boy I cant believe I was in HRC with my kebaya!....Oh boy!
Spent the whole day in Bandung checking out the factory outlets and I love the Rumah Mode outlet, built with the Balinese concept.
the breathtaking view with railway tracks which starts from Jakarta to Bandung..
This trip is definitely a memorable one for me because I sat almost like an hour with my uncle and he shared with me the stories of our ancestors back in Medan, the Mandaling clan..how difficult it was for all of them back then to make a living and be successful in life. I stayed at both my uncles' place in Jakarta city and Cengkareng. I sense the vast disparity between the rich and the poor in Jakarta. It was definitely heartbreaking and disturbing to see little kids walking around aimlessly begging for money, they play at traffic lights, running around and they seem not to fear the buses and cars. I was dumbfounded as I can never understand why innocent kids are used as a mode of generating income. I wonder when is the government gonna stand up and help eradicate this social illness and ensure that these kids are given opportunies like others in their lives. As they are the future genaration.
look what I found, one of the little things that makes me have goosebumps..haha!
Oh well, I shall continue with this entry later as they are so many things to write about.
Have a good week y'all!
