Father-In-Law Passed Away

I worked OT on Tuesday till 10.15pm. I reached home and showered. However if I worked OT, I can not immediately sleep because my brain needs time to cool down. So I could not sleep until 1.20am. On 3am, I woke up because Niko received a call from mother-in-law that his father passed away. I couldn't sleep after that.

Niko immediately booked ticket on 3.30am wednesday,17th December to fly on 7am. Marco also woke up. I couldn't sleep because I also need to send him to office to get his passport (where got people leave their passport in office) and continued to airport then went to office to finish my deadline. I also needed to book my ticket for the next morning. It happened that SQ was having promotion 2 to go for $590. BEST!!! I took the deal. I quickly finished my job to be presented on Thursday.

The hi-activity was not ended yet. We needed to pack for the botak boy. His things can not be forgotten. All his bolster and pillow must be brought. Thuzar packed during afternoon already.

We slept around 11pm then woke up on 4am on Thursday. As soon as all the preparation was done, I called taxi to airport. We reached early, took some photo with the mickey mouse garden and the indoor garden.



As soon as we reached I called Niko but my phone couldn't be used. Normally I don't have problem with my phone. This time it was like not allowing overseas call. I went in again to the glass door and used airport's wifi to contact Niko thru whatsapp. Fiuh...lucky got free wifi.

After reaching home, I dropped Marco at home and I went to exchange money at Chandra and bought cracker. I couldn't open account at BCA because I don't have tax number and other stupid reasons. We went to Carrefour Duta Merlin to buy Marco's diapers. We have maximum 70kg baggage to bring back to SG.

The evening time, I went to Heaven Funeral Home with my mother and aunty to meet Niko and Family. I was giddy that day because lack of sleep for few days. I went home around 9.30pm to rest.

The day after was the last day of wake. We brought Marco to heaven to see his late grand father for the last time before cremation. When Marco was there, we took pictures with the casket. Marco needed to go home before evening or late afternoon because it was not good for baby or toddler to be in the funeral home. However, there was people who brought 1,5 year toddler to the funeral on 9.30pm and they came 2 consecutive days. Very weird family. I remember my parents never bring me to the funeral when I was little unless it was my relatives or close family member. So my mother went home with Marco and Thuzar. I stayed till the end of the day.


We officially finished around 10.30pm. Cleaned the room and packed our things around 11pm. We went to Heaven Atma Jaya to burn the paper house. Actually burning paper house was very fast as it was paper and empty inside.


The cremation day was on Saturday. We reached there on 7.00am. I was assigned to bring the candles. Then we went up to the cremation room. He was cremated on 8am. So we all went for breakfast at Aston Hotel. The process was done when we were back. The bones were displayed on three different trays. The skull bones, the body bones and the leg bones.


A van provided from Heaven was ready to send us to Ancol. Upon our arrival at he jetty, a boat was ready to take us. I was a bit scared because I can not swim. So while they scattered the ash and the casket ash, I just took photos and video. The shake was getting stronger when the motor was turned off.

Going back to the land was much faster as may be the feeling was lighter and the boat was pushed by the waves.

We went back to Niko's home to take shower and rest a while and after around 3pm we went out to pick Marco up at my house. We went to Central Park. We had dimsum there. Marco ate carrot cake for the first time. He was non-stop eating.




On the way home was so bag till Marco was so hungry. We literally spent 2 hours going home. As soon as reached home, he ate his porridge. We then continue to massage at Yu Yan Tang, Pluit. I was in hell. All my body was painful. Then I decided to add Gua Sha to get rid of the wind. It was like giving birth for the second time. This picture was taken as soon as we finished our session. After 2 days, all the red colour become black like bruise. I feel like I have internal injury.


I slept well that night and woke up the next morning with all pain my body. I brought Marco to the first floor. We needed to settle his things faster and went to have lunch at Ipotsuki PIK.


We ate quick one and headed to airport. Thuzar ate the fried rice before we entered the gate. I never thought that was a bad idea until I saw her had airsick and vomited 4 times in the plane. She vomited again one time in taxi on the way home. It was good to be back home.



From this trip, I conclude that Marco doesn't like my mom. He was still ok with my auntie. He was interested looking at animals which I have a cat loitering around my cluster. It was so difficult to get the things done if he only wants to be carried by Thuzar or me. He was ok with a maid at Niko's house.
