just got back from Surabaya,Indonesia.the trip was the BOMB.a holiday with family and friends is exactly what i needed after last week's event.it was a holiday filled with love,laughter,cheap bargains,miang indon guys,cramped feet,beautiful mother earth and fiesty indon delicacies.ooh and i reckon my body isnt fit for a holiday outside sleepy town,sa.face gets really oily,straightened hair goes either wild or flat-out straight,tummy gets a wee bit bloated.heehee.nevertheless,a holiday isnt the time where looks are one's biggest concern kan kan kannnnnnnn?
anywhoo,i was obsessed with my ka-ching.i brought my handy scientific calculator everywhere i went.everything above rm 10 was considered pricey and dead-expensive.hence,i didnt splurge that much on this recent trip.every rupiah item i saw,i would times it with 1000,then divide it with 3.if it's worth it,then i'll get it,if not,then its sayonara boys.
i've learned and gained soo many things in the past 5 days.a couple of adjectives cant do justice to what i've experienced.okay,i sound all tesl-ish and geeky there*big geeky snort*

at the islamic market.had to cover up when entering.loads of tourists and beggars.

mount bromo.we rode our own personal horses on the way up.the journey was thrilling.i urged the pak untuk perlahan-lahan membawa my horsey named kabir kerna saya gerun.(note the fake accent)ooh and the day after we went to mount bromo,the volcano erupted.scarrry ey?

watched the sunrise at 4.it was freezing cold,i wore 5 tops.

the kids,my old friends,family friends.fyi,that aint my tummy,that is of 5 layers of tops
