My mom is staying over in my apartment since last night and she had scheduled a mother and daughter day out for today. We ended up laying in the couch eating cold pizza from last night. I think laziness runs in the family.

I just had a long video Skype call with my wife -- Central Iowa to Jakarta Timur. It was pretty low quality video, but actually worked better than I expected.

Negativity of the camera
My older girl find out you can set the camera to negative color and then the camera have become her best toy.
She bring it everywhere and look everything for see the negative color. She even look her anime through the screen of the cam.
From now on the battery of the cam are always dead and more recently the cam is lost as my girl don't remember where she put it and I can't find it!


Papa look!
Still the same older daughter, she can call me 20 to 50 (seriously) per day everyday with a "papa, papa, look!" And she show me something. It was a time she call me for show me every picture of every page of the book she was looking!
Today was no exception...
In the middle of the day she come to me with and with a low voice she told me "Papa, aku mau tunjuk" (papa, I want show you (something)). She take my finger and bring me to the front door. She show any excitment or stress in her voice, I ws not expecting anything special, many time she show me small flower she found on the grass.

Arrived at the door she point at the driveway and said "liat" (look).
It have this HUGE lizard at 5 meter in front of us, curiously looking at us.
The lenght, tail include, was as wide than a car, so around 1.5 meter with a large body. A wonderfull creature.

Fuck! WHERE IS THE CAMERA!

It stay only a few second before run away to the road and than to the next house who is empty.
Later he get out and end up at the bottom of a dead end road where a wall was separating him of the swamp where he was coming from.
From a good distance, I saw him trying to climb the wall. I got pity for him, but there is no way I will try to help this huge monster! (I hope he finally find his way back).

While following him at distance, impossible to keep my girl not following me. When the lizard end up in the dead end. He relax a little and walk around slowly. The girl had a chance to have a good look at it and were very happy.

I take some bad shot with the phone and we go home.
The youger one "talk" us (she is not still really talking) about the long tongue of the lizard for a 5 minute imiting the noise of a snake.

* impossible to upload a pic with my phone, I will try later with something else.

today i went to tanah kusir for my friend's father's funeral. and the road is absolutely friendly. 90 min at tanah kusir, 30 min for lunch and drove back to cikarang only took us 4 hours.
there are a lot of cars with extra luggage on top of their cars.. or some people sitting at the back of a car covered with some blankets entering jakarta

Yep, it's a bit like the first restroom at the airport after debarking the plane.

i live in cikarang , and everytime i pass the bridge that cross over the toll road, i can see thousands of car just stuck there. cant imagine how long have they been there.
last friday, i went to some open house events, and left kuningan city mall at 7.50 pm. i arrived home at 11.30 .. (normal time is around 60- 75 minutes) all because everybody wanted to stop at rest area km 19. after km 19, the road was super empty.

It is past 11 PM now and the roads from Bandung and Cirebon are still dark red...

Because of all the accidents, I presume.

I'm posting this post while I'm at work. Yes, I'm at work on Monday night, where I should have been in Bandung with my family celebrating the Eid. And now my parents are posting pictures in facebook about their trip to Lembang today.

You are maybe a little bit lucky. I just came back from in-laws (at the moment in Bandung) and the streets are all blocked with super size traffic (ci-walk area)
I also noticed there traffic jam started since 9:00 am to Lembang (I check it on the lewatmana.com website).
