The day, of which I was going to Jakarta with my uni-engineering friends. It was a meaningful trip.
It's a trip, to attend a friend's wedding. I have known him, the groom, Daud only for two years. Hahaha... not as long as the others, either since college or uni year 1. Yeah, just two and a half years in UWA for me..
That morning, I was going to take the flight with a friend to KL then to Jakarta. But something happened. In the end, I had to take the flights by myself. From Kuching to Kuala Lumpur, I took Malaysia Airlines and the Malindo Air to Jakarta...
With that, my mom & my bro insisted me to ask my friend to pick me up from the airport. It was actually super troublesome, if they knew how busy my friend was at that moment. So, I followed the newly-wed's driver around to pick up the wedding gown, sending the bride's family's luggage to the hotel, then to the bridal shop for the bride to try out the gown, then I off to have my first meal myself and finally I'm going to the hotel that I would be staying for 2 nights. Mangga Dua Amaris Hotel. For the first time, I experienced sitting in the car while the Jakarta's famous traffic congestion was going on.
Tips for friends who will be going overseas for the friend's wedding: Do take your own taxi to the hotel. Don't ever ask the bride or the groom. You know why? They will extremely busy with their wedding preparations. I've experienced these twice now. My brother's and my friend's. My brother's friend, they all took their own transport to the hotel. So do my other friends who went to Daud's wedding. Just ME... =.= Felt so bad and troublesome to them, but I had no choice but to listen to my parents.
That night we went to a shopping of which I don't remember the name. It's opposite Grand Indonesia. Quite a good place to be. I will try to upload the photos. I knew I might not post the photos up soon. Not gonna promise anything now. So, my friends went for dinner and I went to look for mani pedi. I get to do manicure.. Because I had my late lunch, so I was still pretty full for dinner. So, I bought some bread from the Bakery no longer remember the name, just in case I would be hungry.
We took photos outside the building and after that we headed back to the hotel.
So that's basically my first day.... and photos below.. (^_^)
=stay tuned fro Day 2=
