After weeks of distress, I finally got to rest my brain and not think about work. Better, I got to do it in Batu Karas for three days with Bangun, Runi, and Ebonk.
We went there on Wednesday and I had the most unfortunate trip ever in my life. In one night, we:
a) Got slowly hit by a car from the front side when driving uphill
b) Got stuck in a traffic jam for quite a while
c) Got lost for a good two hours (or so Bangun said - I was asleep the whole time)
d) Hit a dog, which left an obvious dent to my car
e) Couldn't stay in our favorite cottage in Batu Karas because it had been swept by the recent tsunami that hit the place
f) Didn't get another comfy hotel
g) Got something stuck under my car, which made a very weird, disturbing sound.
However, slowly, things went uphill from there. We stayed in the second best hotel we could find, and well, do nothing important because that's the true meaning of holidays, right. Too bad, the place was more crowded than the usual. I guess people have slowly "discovered" Batu Karas. So much for secluded beach.
And what's Batu Karas without magic mushroom? We got "funny" on the third night, laughing at everything and nothing. I and Bangun also got to celebrate our postponed third anniversary dinner in one of the small restaurants there. He gave me this small agenda for work, and a Lego R2D2 pen!! It's so cool, I don't wanna use it too often.
Like all good things in the world, the holiday must end. We got back to Jakarta on Saturday night, and now here I am back in my office desk. Ew. Can't wait for another long weekend to come.
