Day 3 Jakarta Trip II
As I entered the elevator to go up to the 28th floor of the Menara Imperium, my heart beat doubled by every floor it passed. Dejavu! This setting was exactly as the TOEFL exam, but why was my head spinning? Can I do this? Can I remember all the vocabs I’ve learned for the past month? Can I do well enough to be qualified for a Graduate Assistantship? My mind was raced with time…
My name was called.
My feet came to an abrupt halt.
My bag was placed in the locker.
My ID was inspected.
My snapshot was taken.
My seat was assigned.
My computer was on and glaring.
My posture was adjusted to the desk.
My body was constantly under the hidden cameras.
My lungs suddenly expanded to inhale.
My pinky pressed ENTER.
Not long after…
My consciousness brought me to the icon STOP!
Ok, take it easy. I did my best.

Day 1 Jakarta Trip II
April Fool’s Day Luck’ly nothin’ foolish happened!
I arrived in time for the photosession and mbak Indraty Setyawan’s beautiful kebaya was still intact in its decorative box. I was picked up and sent straight to the salon. Wow, I’ve never expected this much service. The make-up artist appointed for me, was the very same one that used to do the make-up for Rachel Mariam and Marshanda! Indonesian film actress and soap opera star. No wonder the eye make-up took 1 hour alone! Well, I was quite flattered ! (*_^)
It was such a looong photoshoot. The longest I’ve ever had. Though, I sense it’s worthness. I can tell the results would turn out great!

Bandung Day 2
The second day, we visited Ayub Orchids and Ridho Orchids, they are two well known Indonesian orchid producers. Again, mom and I could not resist buying them! We promised ourselves we would take care of them. Right mom?
There were more than just orchids at Ridho orchids. He had 5 year old cacti on sale for Rp 1,5 juta! Interested?
