Weekend Review: Surabaya Sunny Getaway

Today is my fifth day in my hometown, Surabaya, and already I felt like I'm moving in back to my parents house :D Once again being asked if I'm gonna stay for good in Jakarta, or gonna come back to Surabaya after several years of experience... But the truth is, the city is similar like Jakarta now, and it is scorching hot (maybe cuz it's October ya). I'm thinking to myself that if I am gonna stay again in Surabaya, I'm gonna stay on my own. So, yup, might as well buy a house and a car. But anyways, since that's a long-term plan, right now I'm just focusing on short-term plan such as embracing opportunities that come my way. Hey, do you find yourself thinking of short and long term goal when it's close to the end of the year? I do, cuz my birthday falls just few days before New Year.  

I'm going to have a morning flight tomorrow, and still haven't figured out how I'm gonna bring all the "oleh-oleh" for friends and colleagues in Jakarta. You know, simple stuff like "kerupuk upil" (sand cracker) can be a pain in *** when it's being carried (very light, yet must be carried very carefully- cuz once they crack, they would not be able to be called "crackers" anymore). Anywyas, I've promised mself that this is the last time I'm bringing "oleh-oleh" and this is the last time I'm coming home only for wedding. It's not really a "eco-friendly" activity you know; taking round trip on an airplane in the name of invitation. Next time, I'll save the money and send the newlyweds a wedding gift instead :) Nice idea, eh? Next year, the only wedding I will be attending is S*n & D*n's (cuz she's my best friend of 12 years, and I've promised her a ladies party). Can't wait to arrange it... ^^
