the journey: a glimpse

Will upload some pictures I collect from my friends (and my mobile phone too) we took during last week's trip. So this was actually a visit to our senior colleague's wedding party in Yogyakarta, so the office funded some of us to attend as representative. Besides, my manager suddenly planned a research meeting with fellow researchers from Surabaya and Denpasar office. Since we have an agenda to also visit Ulen Sentalu Museum in Kaliurang, then it's not only a business trip, but also a little vacation. :)

Here's the bus, we headed from Jakarta at 8pm on Thursday and arrived the next day at 9am. For some friends, the seats are not comfortable, but for me it suits well already, I have my best nap so that on Friday I have enough stamina. :D

After visiting Ulen Sentalu, we went to have lunch, and the toughest part is, our manager insisted of having a formal meeting, completed with hand-outs, charts and analysis. Haha

In the afternoon once the meeting was done, we finally headed to Hotel, imagine that we all haven't showered yet since yesterday. Haha (again). In the night, we had a walk to Malioboro. So happy to be in Yogyakarta again! yet I miss Jakarta somehow hehe :p

The next day was my birthday! Ya Allah I am now 25!:) And surprisingly in the morning, my best friend who lived in this city texted me and said she was already in the hotel lobby and brought me 3 cute little cupcakes! Thank you my little dear, I am happy seeing you with your hijab now..

So it was actually the d-day, here's us again ladies at the wedding party. Oh yes now it's obvious here that I am getting bigger significantly! School makes me eat more. :p

The party was the last thing we have in the agenda, the trip coordinator canceled the go to the south beach" thing, because it was raining all the day, so we only got stuck in the bus parking in front of Vredenburgh Museum waiting for some colleagues bought bakpia before we went back to Jakarta again.

I am surprised too that my manager and my research coworkers were so nice to remember my birthday, they even prepared a birthday cake. The nicest part was they didn't put any number there and replaced it a question mark "?", They though age will be a sensitive number for a woman. Although somehow, I am still the youngest among them. Heehe :p 

I am still waiting for all the pictures from the office's camera and all of my friends'! Conclusion, it's Yogyakarta that I always love. :)
