Raymond's wedding weekend in Jakarta

So Raymond finally got married to Grace. We all hope for his happiness and everlasting loving marriage. It was an intimate and beautiful wedding party.
Raymond's sister singing "Loving You" was classic! - well, it is a difficult song to sing.
















Matt & I stayed at Four Seasons hotel where the wedding was held.
Emi & Daichan was invited too, so we went together, had few drinks at the lobby bar,
as well as at Cork & Screw - Afterall, Saturday was the only night out in Jakarta. At the wedding and at C&S, there were many of those typical salon goer girls
posing endlessly for the digicam. It made me feel... (not old) but mature... heh













In the daytime, Vanda, Rani, Puput, Aki-san, Yoshii, Itien and all the children gathered at Mandor.
It felt different to be among my cousins, now that we are mothers/mothers to be.
I was also happy for the Manadonese food... :)














Last day we went to see Dad and went for Italian. Dad was pleasant and also gave me his CDs - ambience, bossa nova, oldies, Japanese etc. Matt also got some golf set and a cover from Daichan. Cool!













Then there's Rikki.
I know I'm related to him so he looks cute to me, but he really is such a heart melting sweetie.
I'm not even confident I can adore any other baby like I do for Rikki. Not even my own...

But! it's so exciting to know I'm going to have a niece!
Yes, Rikki will have a younger sister!
And I will have a boy... oh no...too much for me to even think.
