Father Clements and my mom's side of the family goes a loooong way.
It's amazing how he still remembers all 7 of my aunties and uncles - and their children, even though most of them are no longer in Indonesia for decades. 
He even remembers Emi's ex and the ex and the ex.... (!). He was the Priest for my parents' wedding, baptised Emi and I, conducted my previous and now he is blessing and giving Prayers for my up and coming marriage.
To be honest, Matt and I was not expecting "meeting Father Clements when you come to Jakarta" to be such an event when we left Singapore. So having the whole family including Daichan, my aunt Itien and my cousins Rani and Vanda, making time for us was a nice surprise.
Then followed by a celebration buffet lunch at Mulia hotel was also an unexpected indulgence, with Daichan's cousin Hide, sister Aki-san and her husband Yoshi and neighbor Kanzawa-san joining. Food was great, gigantic oysters, one room dedicated to desserts and the rich Arab inspired golden deco was eyes blinding.
