Your First Overseas Trip

Your first overseas trip was to Jakarta, mom's home city and country.
That was Jan 2009, when you were about 4 months old.
Mom and Ee-Ee Belly brought you home. I did not follow because of limited leave to apply.

Mom and dad did a lot of preparation for your trip.
Besides getting the passport done, we consulted doctor and friends how to make you comfortable during the flight.
You were unexpectedly calm and almost slept all the way until reached our home in Jakarta!

Grandpa and grandma, and Grand-grandma, and all friends and relatives were so excited to see you. Son, you will have a tough time to remember our big family and friends in Jakarta, but you have to know them and keep in touch with them. Family and friends are the most valuable gifts from God.


After few weeks stay at Jakarta, we met in Singapore.
So, Singapore was the second country you visited. (how you took bath in hotel)

We stay there for 3 days to attend a wedding reception of our friend, auntie Candy.
We were glad to meet auntie Yenny and little Argen in Singapore too.
I was grateful to have that few days break from my work to spend time with you and mom.



Wonderful.
