Fritz in his age could manage himself very nice. He said "Gong Xi" to every elder he met. He said thank you after he got the hong pao. Very thankful for his good manner this year.

Welcome Horse year...let's rock the year!!

Too bad that Jakarta was having flood disaster again this year and it's getting worse than last year. For some area maybe it's getting better but for some areas are getting worse. They had to face almost 4 meters height of flood in their area. OMG!

As it's getting worse, one of Momarch's members asked to raise money for the flood victims. All of us were agreed to do it.

Kombat had a secret mission this time. From the information we heard from one of our person, there's an orphanage which the operational isn't in a proper way.

A day before we went there, one of our founder and her niece were visiting this place for surveying. When both of them arrived, they were being treated unfriendly by the person there. They captured some pictures that showed how poor they treated the children.

Today, I with Fritz and few person from Kombat gathered in McDonald, Serpong, as our main point meeting. Then we went to the venue. We were shocked how the owner of the orphanage greeted not very warmly to us. He asked to one of us what we're going to do there. Geez! Of course, we're going to have some fun with the kids!

Then that man asked the other man to prepare the mat for us while in front of the house, in the corner area, there's a 4 year boy crying. Few minutes later, we're inside the house waiting for the man preparing mats for us, the first man who greeted us before pulling the crying boy from outside to inside through the other side of the house. He put the boy into a room, in a second, he opened the door and asked that boy to sit with others. I didn't get idea what he did to that boy. Couldn't imagine more!

We sat in the mat together with the children. Just a second then the children were not in control. Some of them were busy strangling each other while the others said some impolitely words to us. We tried to control the condition but it's very useless. We really couldn't do anything with them.

To be honest I put my pity on them. FYI, they sleep in the mat we sat every day, every night. No bed or even any room for them. The clothes they wear seemed not being washed for days. They also don't get proper food. Every day they eat instant noodles instead of vegetables or fruits. OMG!

What's inside the owner's head, huh?! They build an orphanage with totally wrecked inside. No room, no bed, no proper food and no clean clothes for the children. They also don't have any good sanitation.

One of my friend said that they had moved to the new location, new building. I hope they are well treated by the owner now as they are having new environment. Pray the best for the children there. I really couldn't imagine there's an orphanage that don't have any heart like that.

Our first day in 2014 was filled by going to Lembang, Bandung. My MIL asked us to go there with her and my BIL. We went so early to avoid the heavy traffic jam in Bandung. We started our trip today at 6 AM from my MIL's house.

The first place we went through was Kartika Sari to buy some snacks there. I just bought a pack of cheese roll. It's quite expensive actually, it costs 40K rupiah for 10 cheese rolls inside the box. Then we continued to Prima Rasa to buy the other snacks. I bought a loaf of brownies, a pack of durian molen and a picnic roll.

As we didn't get our breakfast, I decided to have porridge along our way out from Prima Rasa. I shared the porridge with Fritz.

We continued our trip to St Maria Fatima's church in Lembang. I didn't put my heart here but I cried in a small chapel there. I couldn't hold my burden anymore. I didn't know how to express what I felt just crying.


Then we went to Susu Lembang Kencana near the church. The price for every meal isn't too expensive, however, it's too bad that they don't maintain the area very well. They have a very big space to be explored as tourist area. I think they will be more famous if they maintain it. Maybe they can provide flying fox and so many facilities for children to play there.


Next destination was going to De Ranch. It's a very recommended place to go. They had a big area for their ranch. With a 5K rupiah for the entrance, we get a great scenery as the back ground of the ranch and breathe a very clear air.





The trip was over. We had to face more than 3 hours to go home passing Sadang not the highway. We reached home almost in the middle of night without any good breakfast, great lunch or even simple dinner. Then we ended with instant noodles before we slept. *eyes rolling*
