Holiday

First, let me to say Merry Christmas :

May the spirit of Christmas bring you Peace.
The gladness of Christmas bring you Hope
and the Warmth of Christmas bring you Love.
Have a blessed Christmas!

and Happy New Year :

New Year ...
New hope, new faith
Leave what's behind and look forward ..
Better Life, better days, better person for sure!

Before Christmas, I met my oldfriend from my elementary school in SMS, Serpong. So coincidence; we have never met to each other after elementary graduation. May be it's my early Christmas gift : so happy and excited to meet Agnes there. And today she tagged me in a picture at facebook (Yes, a picture when we were kids!!!). Thank you so much Agnes for that picture.

Then I started my holiday in Solo from December 23, 2008. Holiday means refreshing; far from daily activities. So, we ate our favorite food there. We ate bebek goreng Pak Slamet, Sate Pengging Mas Di, Soto Geger, Soto Gading, Nasi Liwet, Gudeg Yu Mari, Rujak, Brambang Asem, Sopsip, Bakso Kalilarangan, etc and of course, my Mom's delicious cooking. Hmm I missed them so much :)

We also celebrated Anne's 3rd birthday in Solo after she celebrated her birthday in Jakarta with her friends. Here we are when we celebrated Anne's 3rd birthday in Solo.

Like a princess :)

My family (without my sister because she spent her holiday in Bali) :

Anne and her cousin, Ping2 :

We visited Ungaran and ate famous delicious crab @ Roso Nyoto (Tauco and boiled crab) , before that we stayed for a while in a church near there to make a new year wishes and also to thank God for everything he had given to us.

@ Pertapaan Gedono near Salatiga :

We also filled our holiday with stay in Bandungan. We played card, swam, ate tofu and drank soybean milk which were famous in Bandungan, also visited traditional market there.

Here are the pictures :

Hi-tech kid : 3 years old could play PSP!!!

Could do it without any help! OMG ..

Night at Bandungan :

Anne was swimming with her daddy .. Open daddy's eyes, Anne ...

So, we passed our holiday with gladness because we met our families in our hometown; satisfied because we ate everything that we missed so much in our hometown; freshness because we were far from daily activities. We thank God because everything was in appropriate with what we had planned. I wish that in 2009 we will have a better life and better days for all. Amen ...
