5 hours in bandung

i didn’t came back home to Bandung last weekend, but i have my approx 5 hours in Bandung. here is the tales..

Anik ..not a real name, and a friend or mine from Japan.. wanted to had some vacation in Indonesia, especially to Bandung. So, we made a ..or some.. plan(s), me, anik, rasti, ryan and finally Budi. at the first time, anik want to came this weekend, on February 16th or 17th, but I surely refuse it because i have another plan with my company, there should be a Family Gathering which is canceled due to Jakarta’s inclement.
so, there she is, take the chance at February 10th, which is Saturday, and forcing me to get to Bandung at Sunday. but then you must have realize that i have to get back to Jakarta at the same day. wow..

Then, there we are ..me, ryan and wiwin.. at 5 o’clock on Terminal 2 Cengkareng airport. she was scheduled to land at 1720 but the remarks said it has land at 1701. so we split, I wait at the left hand gate and they get the other one. wait for approx 45 minutes and there she is, i saw her panic and looking for someone she quite knows, but all faces she had there must been very new for her. then she recognize me, smile, run ..or even more like flying?.. towards me.. wow…
I’m speechless.. and i think her english is very good at that time, and she dare to use it. hahaha.. it so shame that i still speechless.. :)) then i take her to see ryan and wiwin at the other  gate, and there she is, one more time looks as if she was flying more then just running.. but now she flew to ryan.

Then we get to the car and gone to hotel. then out to find something to eat for our dinner, and there anik said that she wants to played some bowling. ok then, I’ve drive the car to Plaza Senayan to make our way to play bowling. We have our dinner at bakmi GM, then we go to the bowling alleys. play for only 2 games, 4 players, the things i have to admit that anik plays “outstanding” in bowling. she had a very good skill on it. then after 2 games ..and just for your information, it the same as my two time lose, and i think i could never defeat her in bowling.. we get our way back to the hotel. let anik stay and get some rest for the night, while me ryan and wiwin get to our home ..and for me it just a simple rent room near the hotel..

and the next morning i have my self at the hotel before 6 o’clock to accompany anik to have her breakfast. she ate some “nasi goreng” ..she loved it, just like at bakmi GM.., “bubur ayam” and some salad. but i realize that she couldn’t stand for the taste of fried onions, so she can’t ate the “bubur ayam”. hihihi.. I’m really sorry, anik. if i know that you couldn’t stand for it, i will not pour them to the bowl. then i see something in anik that morning.. she really looks at her age, so teen.. :)) why i said this, because she had ask us earlier in the evening how old she looks and said that she knows that she have a face older than her real age. hmm.. but i dont think so. after all, i’ve seen her face that morning, and she looks so teen… looks… hmmm….. nothing… hehehe… anik, please don’t say “noting” to me..
then we get back to 8th floor where she had her room at KC hotel, waiting for ryan an wiwin to come.

Finally we decided to go to Bandung, after ryan and wiwin comes to the hotel, get to my office just to copy anik and her groups orchestra music play from her CD, and there we are on the highway.

we get on Bandung at approx 11 o’clock and get to Bumi Asih hotel right away. check in, and wait for Budi ..with anik’s friend, saori.. and rasti. we go out for lunch at cisangkuy, walking from the hotel, and get back to the hotel by foot, too. but there is rain when we get to the hotel, so we only get a chit chat on anik’s room until 4 o’clock, the time that i have to get back to Jakarta. wow, what a short time for Bandung, I even couldn’t get back to my home.

I have to go back to airport because my friend ..donald, the one whom lend me his car.. will be landed at 0800, but the flight was delayed and i have been exhausted so i tell him that i need to go back to my rent room and park his car at the office, and said sorry that i couldn’t waited for him any longer.

Now, after this all story, I still have to get back to the airport next Thursday to accompany anik which will get back to Tokyo at 2210 and she will be alone at that big big airport.
ahh, I wish you get all your happiness here in Indonesia, anik. So you can back to Tokyo with your smile and cheer up all the time. It’s been so nice to finally met you in person. maybe the next time will be better, i mean thet I will have a lot of time to accompany you, or it might be I’m the one who will get to Tokyo… ahh.. I wish I could.
