MAS flight from Jakarta to KLIA – April 25, 2010
It was time to go home. A clear day with the sun shining brightly and the sky… err what did the sky supposed to do eh? Well, the sky was clear dotted with some sparse clouds… Yeah.., something like that as shown in the picture below. It was just past noon WIB when we took off…

My definition of sparse was that I could see the ground from up here…

Pasha was seated by the window while Mama was in the middle and Papa was on the aisle seat. Yo can see how bright was the day from the window next to Pasha. I was sleepy and Mama and Pasha were hungry… Just wait until the food was served…

What did I tell you? Mama and Pasha were busy digging into the food. What happened to Papa? Papa Bear ate after these pictures were taken and no picture of Papa Bear eating because Mama was too hungry too snap any picture… heheheh…
Soon after that, I went to sleep… If I am not mistaken all of us went to sleep… Did they? Hmm….
Goodbye Jakarta…

Jakarta April 24, 2010 – Somewhere in the city…
After spending more than half a day at the Inacraft 2010,we headed to our MPV to go home. Guess what? The MPV could not be reversed anymore. No matter how hard we tried putting the MPV into reverse, it kept on going forward. In the end, it had to be pushed out of the parking lot until there was enough space to move forward. When I took over the driving, I realized that the car only third and fourth gears left. So, first, second and reverse gears were gone!
Anyway, since all of us were famished after a long walk in the exhibition hall, we decided to get our lunch first. The trick was to go to a restaurant where we could easily park and not having to worry about reversing too much. Basically, if the MPV could be pushed out from the parking, that place would be selected.
Eventually we found a nasi padang restaurant by the roadside. The place was nice and food was not bad either despite being a bit pricey compared to the nasi padang places that we would normally go.

Here are the pics at the restaurant. I was too hungry to take any picture of the food but you could see some of them there. In KL when you go to a nasi padang restaurant, you choose what you want and then only they would serve you. In Jakarta, and other parts of Indonesia, I think, you just have to sit down and they would just bring everything to your table. Then you just eat whatever you want and leave the rest. You only pay for the food that you ate.
Anyway, it is not recommended to click on any of the pic above for a bigger view as we were busy making faces… You have been warned!

Jakarta April 24, 2010 – Inacraft 2010
Inacraft 2010, an Indonesian craft exhibition, was held at the Senayan Stadium. Mama Pasha was looking for some batik stuffs. I was looking for some trinkets to bring back home as souvenirs. Visitors had started to flood the place by the time we got there. Must be due to the fact that the day after was the last day. I guessed most of them were saving the best for last…

Since people were just coming in, the place was not that crowded yet. A few hours later, you could hardly take photo of any booth there as all you could see were people and more people. It was amazing how many people were attracted to crafts. The seventh picture is showing Vincci as one of the exhibitors. Didn’t know that Vinnci’s shoes fall under craft category… hehehe…

While walking around looking for things that we wanted, Pasha spotted the t-shirt drawing spot under one of the stairs and he requested to join in. Out of the few limited designs that they had, Pasha went for Upin and Ipin. Pasha does not regularly watch Upin and Ipin as his favorite channel is Playhouse Disney but once in a while when we changed to TV9, he would enjoy watching Upin and Ipin. As a proof, he recognized them instead of those other unknown animals or cartoons…
So, this entry was not that much about the craft after all. Anyway, Mama Pasha got some batik stuffs and I got a few keychains and fridge magnets…
