Wedding Trip

Friday -- My wife and I arrived in Jakarta at 9 something in the morning after an only one-hour-and -fifteen-minutes flight and served a looks-like-chicken-but-tastes-like rubber meal.

From the airport, we took a bus ride home for around two hours and arrived safely in Bogor and then we felt hungry right away. That's the common effect of us going home. And we were determined to have at least sotomie, batagor, fried rice, nasi padang, many kinds of noodles, and nasi udug for this short trip. And that's only for breakfast.

So that's what we did the first time we arrived in Bogor. We ate a bowl of noodle and soto babat, empal and kampong fried chicken, etc etc. And oh yeah, we met the parents too.

I came home to attend my sister's wedding diner, which would be held on Saturday evening. So it would be a good chance to meet up with all long lost relatives, who I seldom meet and whose names I can barely remember.

My mom was also very excited about the whole event; shown by the many many times she went to the toilet to puke.
Yeap, unfortunately my mom got sick just a day before the wedding. She had a diarrhea and needed to go to the toilet every time she ate anything. She tried many traditional medications, but when the diarrhea was finally cured, she ended up puking. But she's getting better by the minute.

So after I took care of her and saw that she’s recovering, I decided that I should not stay up very late myself because everything would start very early the next day. Well, I wouldn't be able to keep awake anyway, not after the non-stop eating.
