This year, Year 2006, has been a wonderful year for me thus far. It’s not even my birthday yet, but somehow I already had two celebrations – big thanks to the March Angels and also, husband dearie.
Birthday bash with March Angels was held on Friday, 3/3/06 and the celebration was nothing but fun! And last week, the kids and I left for Jakarta for 5 days. Upon arrival, my husband told me that he had to attend a meeting up in Bandung for a couple of days and that left us with no choice but to follow him (that also left me gawping at the idea of us being left there, mending our own business for a few days, and the word ‘shopping’ struck me like a thunder! Woo hoo! I was cheering quietly….)
We left Jakarta on Thursday and came back on Saturday night. Although Nik was really tied up with his busy schedules, he managed to arrange for a nice & cozy advanced-birthday dinner at The View International Restaurant (they say it’s the second highest peak in Bandung). The view was spectacular and the restaurant is set strategically amidst lush green tops….. priceless sight, I must say. The dinner was served out in the open and it was a breezy and cooling night – almost like spring time. You can actually see beautifully lighted trees and Bandung town from up there, how I wished I had the right kind of camera to capture the spectacular view at night…
These are the closest that I can get…..
Us @ The View Restaurant, the drink, the gift, the view
The children @ Taman Safari & Dunia Fantasi, Bandung
The impressively arranged candle-lit-dinner made my first quarter of Year 2006 very meaningful and momentous (and the birthday gift was a plus point to the whole scenario, hehe!) He made my day…
Year 2005 left me with significant memories… the death of my father (and me not being able to be with him when he took his last breath & the fact that I was not immediately informed of his death has left me grieving every time I think about him), the death of my grandma and rows of argument that I had with my former boss…. Memories will remain memories though I tried to push them as far back as I possibly can.
I embrace Year 2006 as it comes and my heart strongly tells me that this time it’ll be a smoother ride for me (and an enjoyable one too)… and so it has been.
