Evi and Didin wedding reception was held on 2 August 2009 at Batam, Indonesia. My family and I along with other friends attended the wedding (daughter of Pak Raja YE5RA) which was the highlight of the Batam trip. We savored the different food (taste is different) and finished off with ice cream and longans.
I joined my family who stayed at the Goodway Hotel, room is spacious with a king leisure bed. I flew in from Kuala Lumpur via Fireflyz direct to Batam on Saturday morning. Hired a car complete with a driver to chauffer us around for the two days and the price is quite reasonable. We had a great time shopping at the Nagoya Hill and bought mobile fridge, jeans and teeshirts. Before departing for Malaysia, we did a last minute shopping at Batam Centre while waiting for boarding.
The journey took about 1 hour 30 minutes from jetty in Batam, Indonesia to jetty at Stulang Laut, Johor Bahru. It was great meeting up with old friends from Indonesia and Malaysia and our hope is meet up with all again.

Pak Hasan's birthday dinner held on 08.08.2009 was attended by family, close friends and neighbours. Everyone enjoyed the food which included Pak Hasan's favorite "fried calamari or sotong goreng tepong". It was hilarious when Pak Hasan blew the candles on the birthday cake and shared light moments with all. 
Most romantic was when Pak Hasan's wife "suap" the first cake slice to him.
