Taman Anggrek, 24 February 2008

In this week family outing, we try something different. Instead of having lunch outside, we take the lunch at home, and, go out for extra dessert.

We went to Taman Anggrek Mal for Pancake and Ice Cream... Everybody have a big slice of pancake, and, two scopes of ice cream....



After lunch, we visit the launching of "Central Apartment".


Anak-anak bisa maen and, enjoy the barongsai...

Sudah menjadi kebiasaan keluarga kami, setiap minggu selalu ada "family outing".

The "family outing" (biasanya hari minggu setelah pulang gereja) , can be a visit ke mall, visit ke relatives, makan bareng di restaurant atau, apa aja yang penting seluruh keluarga ngumpul.


Memang ongkosnya mahal, tapi, I believe it is worthy. Sering-sering ngumpul bersama anak-anak sekarang, mumpung mereka masih mau ngumpul-ngupul dengan kita. A few years from now, they will have their own friends, and, might prefer to go out with their friend instead of the out dated parents...


This week, we visited Restaurant "Alam Sari" di dekat Bukit Indah, Kerawang....Lunch and, maen sampe sore....

The Venetian is a 40-story, $1.8 billion anchor for the 7 resort hotels which are under construction on the Cotai Strip in Macau. The 10,500,000-square-foot (980,000 m²) Venetian Macao is modeled on its sister casino resort – the The Venetian in Las Vegas – and is the largest single structure hotel building in Asia and the second-largest building in the world.[1]
The main hotel tower was finished in July 2007 and the resort officially opened on August 28, 2007.[2] The resort has 3000 suites, 1,200,000 square feet (111,000 m²) of convention space, 1,600,000 square feet (149,000 m²) of retail, 550,000 square feet (51,000 m²) of casino space – largest in the world – with 3400 slot machines and 800 gambling tables and a 15,000 seat arena for entertainment/sports events." quoted from Wikipedia.

We visited Macau for 2 days (11-12 Feb 2008), but, almost all our times were spent in this great hotel.

CHINESE NEW YEAR's EVE DINNER 2008

In 2008, Chinese New Year;s day falls on Thursday, February 07. Chinese New Year is a time when families get together to celebrate. Members of family are supposed to stay up as lat as possible on New Year's Eve. Long ago, it was believed that gods in heaven would spread gold over each family so, everybody stayed awake and ready to seize the treasure.

Nowdays, tidak banyak orang yang percaya cerita ini, tapi, tradisi "the New Year Eve's Dinner" berlanjut dan menjadi salah satu event paling penting dalam keluarga. Makan malam bersama menjadi waktu terbaik bagi seluruh anggota keluarga untuk berkumpul, talk to each other, report about their experiences and achievements, and, exchange ideas and plans for the next year.

Untuk keluarga kami, tahun ini lebih special daripada biasanya. Papa & mama tahun ini datang ke Jakarta dan bisa ikut berkumpul untuk menyongsong imlek bersama.

Papa, Mama, Kami sekeluarga (termasuk anak-anak), Ling Ling sekeluarga, Nini sekeluarga, Ming Ming, Thai Ji, Cung cung kumpul bersama and, have dinner di Rest. Huang Ting.

Cheerrsss...

Jakarta, Feb 2008.

Greenville Banjir

Sampe hari ini, Minggu 3/Feb, air banjir masih belum surut. Air di depan rumah masih hampir selutut dan, di Greenville raya masih se pinggang.

Masih untung air ngak sampe masuk ke dalam rumah, cuma sebagian dari garasi & car port yang kena. Listrik, air, masih nyala; jadi kita masih bisa tetap beraktifitas dalam rumah...

Tangga di depan rumah cukup tinggi untuk menahan air .
Beruntung rumah ini di bangun setelah jalanan ditinggi-in 3 tahun yll. Sebagian besar rumah tetangga, posisinya ada di bawah jalan... Jadi sudah pasti banjir tidak terhindarkan.

Sebagian besar tetangga sudah pada ngungsi..

Beberapa mobil sudah mulai lewat di depan rumah; tapi sampe sore ini (Minggu), mobil Honda masih di tinggal di Mediterania Garden. Mudah-mudahan aman..

My Home, masih aman dari banjir //

Jakarta Underwater...

Tepat setahun dari banjir tahun lalu, tgl 01/Februri 2008, Jakarta banjir !!! lagi...

Morning : bumper to bumper driving from Greenville to office.

Berangkat jam 7 pagi nyampe di kantor jam 9:30 (telat... buanget...)

Siang : hujan masih tetap turun,..

Kayak promosi Enegizer : terus...terus...dan terus... Pouring and plus angin kenceng.

Akibat nya : Jakarta kelelep...

Sore : hujan berhenti... Jalanan MACET TOTAL...


Air tergenang di mana mana, akibatnya macet total di mana mana..









Pulang kantor jam 6 sore... sampe di sekitar Taman Anggrek jam 8 malam,. Nyangkut lagi di jembatan layang Tomang sekita 1 jam... Baru nyampe di Tanjung Duren jam 9 malam...
Mobil sudah ngak bisa lewat depan Apartment Mediterania; jadi langsung belok and parkir mobil di dalam apartment Grand Mediteranean 2... Berhubung lapar, makan malam dulu di Tanjung Duren. Abis makan, perjuangan baru di mulai !!!
How to get home dari Tanjung Duren ke Greeville ??!!??

Panggil Bajaj dan bikin perjanjian dengan sopir Bajaj.. Untuk Rp10,000 , pokoknya bajaj akan maju terus sampe ke ngak bisa lagi (mudah-mudahan bisa sampe di Metro Tj Duren..); but,..
baru jalan sampe lewatin Rest. Sederhana (so only lebih kurang 1 km) bajaj udah ngak bisa lanjut// Terpaksa dech bayar and, nyambung jalan kaki sampe rumah.
Jam 10 malam, air mulai dari selutut sampe sepinggang, beberapa daerah mati lampu & sepi (kayak nya udah ngak banyak orang yang mau jalan2 jam 10 malam ngerobok banjir).; plus air yang warna nya udah kaya kopi susu.. Lengkap sudah kenikmatan ini..
Nyampe rumah jam 11:00PM.. Capek & very dirty. Untung listrik masih nyala.
Jalan depan rumah banjir selutut, tapi rumah masih aman... cuma garasi yang kemasukan air sedikit.
