Impulsive holidays


Impulsive holidays...

Having finished house moving stuff, Billy and I thought of having holidays for our children. It was not easy to choose the destination where we're going to. First choise, Pulau Umang. Three days two nights holidays in an exotic 'new' island with many interesting offers, children playground, beach, beach, beach, new experience with boating, beach and beach for three days. Asked the sales person to fax the quotation. Done. Show to Billy. Think it over. Cancel. Too expensive, not appropriate at current
circumstances. Need to save money. Second choice, a hotel in Anyer. Called. Full booked until July 16. Impossible. Children will go to their first school day on July 17. Well...the exact decision was ...submit annual leave to HRD. Three days off.

Third choice, was made when we were on the car, in the toll road, think that we may be on the way to Ancol. Nop, why dont we got to Telaga Golf, Sawangan. Where we going after that? Nop. Ok...children were desperately needing a swimming pool. Let's go to ELdorado, Cibubur. Wups...wrong direction...turn around again..and enter to Kampung Indonesia, Kampung China, Kampung Jawa, Kampung.....wrong destination... but hei...don't want to loose the chance, buy some stuff and click a networking with a handcraft vendor for the possibility of side business....go back again...and now entering Eldorado. Not bad. Had a splash...splash afternoon. Had dinner there, and off we went on Jagorawi toll road again heading to Ciawi. Where to? Puncak? Bogor? Got a text message from Endang that Puncak were crowded. Well... Bogor? why not? Turn into the city and voila....Hotel Sahira! good place...good taste...good rate....I'm sure many housewives would like to have their husbands have office meeting in this place since the hotel management would not let any couples stay in except they have the same address written down on their ID card....Hmmmm...

The day after, we had luch at Taman Palem, in Warung Jambu area. New resto with children playground. Fia and Yosua had a very good time with the bikes and specially the mini becak. Good excercise for them....I rode one too! ... hmm now we can appreciate how hard becak driver's profession is...Im pretty sure they have very strong muscles and huge food intake.....

HNS Outing

Wish u do together July 4-5, 2006 at Via Renata, Cipanas, Puncak!

Instead of sad story after having good bye to all teachers who are leaving, here comes the FUN TIME of HNS of BIS. We finished at 2.30pm on that last day, July 4th, 2006, and we made our way to go to Via Renata, Pucak afterwards. Peter Derby-Crook and John Slack were there to release our departure, and guess what...he wants us to be back SAFELY!!! Hmm....see how important we are:)

The committee (well, ehem...of course they were minus and plus of the event, however, they deserve two tumbs up, to be honest, to make this event happened!: thanks, guys!) has been spoiled the staff with providing mountains of FOOODD....i think some of us gained few kilos when we got back home! At night, there were satays, wedang jahe and boiled-banana (what a perfect combination!), jagung bakar , and various types of drinks...yes of course the ankers one were available too!

It was coollll there...i didn't move even an inch away from where i laid my body when I slept that night. Wait...that's too far...I skipped a climax 'menu' that night! Yes....it was singing and dancing like crazzzzy time! Whuahahahaha....it was, really! Every body has their own style of dancing and ... to my surprise..there were many talented singers among BIS staff!!!! ALSO, there were very talented ladies who performed belly dancing! Is it true some guys were walking out after they saw the performance because of they can't help it... ?? he..he...he..

I'm sure most of us had a very great time on this Wishing thing event. Many thanks to the participants, to SMT and the committee who has been working very hard in preparation this event... Wish u do together again next year!!
