on 30 july ayah arrived in the evening at bali from makassar
on 31 july late afternoon we are all depart to malang - to bring abang to tazkia iibs - the school that he really wanted
 |
| this is how we looked, still at home and just about to go... |
driving our lovely silver-grey ertiga car from our home at ungasan around 5 pm. break awhile for maghrib at carrefour sunset road and at the same time buying some of the amenities that we might need on the long journey to malang
finally we reached gilimanuk port for crossing the sea to ketapang. this time we got ferry that are not too big, the benefit: reach the destination faster but had weaknes: it was shaky... made most of us seasickness. due to of that, abang throw-out on the way we almost reaching pasir putih
 |
| 12 hours after... in the morning when we reached malang |
basically the journey was smooth, only on the way back to bali after leaving abang in tazkia iibs, when adek and bunda was asleep we got flat tire. luckily it was happen near the residence, before we entering the jungle near pasir putih. ayah changed the flat tire with the spare tire and continue the journey back
on the day we reached malang in the morning of 1 august 2015, we checked in in everyday smart hotel, not too bad... the room was spacious, clean and the most importance was affordable. take a rest for a while, especially after ayah was driving all the night long, we left the hotel in the afternoon after praying dhuhur to explore malang. abang and adek was sooo exciting as we were heading up to jatim park 2. ayah never told them that before, as ayah just got the idea when we were going down from our room to parking space at basement.
abang had ever been there before when the school organized bintang mandiri trip to malang, so he was guiding us on where to go... hmmm he was so confidence doing that
abang and adek ejoyed the time very much...

until the time pass 6 pm, they still did not want to leave jatim park, but the park was going to close... so we left jatim park to find the dinner, for sure we pray magrib first before leaving.
but batu was super packed with the visitor that night, we could not find the parking space for our car. until few rounds finally we decided to go down to malang and to find the dinner there.
abang and adek fallen a sleep in the car, so when we woke them up they were not in good mood, could not finished the dinner.
heading back to hotel, refreshed and sleep
we checked out from the hotel in the morning of 2 august 2015 and heading to tazkia iibs, the procession of the hand over of abang was smooth, only that ayah need to find the black formal shoes for abang. so ayah went to a new opened Ramayana at the downtown near tazkia iibs. adek came along with ayah, during ayah tried to find the shoes adek played the game at zone 2000. he earned some ticket that she exchanged to nail cutter and candies. while bunda stayed at tazkia iibs following the programs by programs. abang already in his dormitory sorting the stuff in his room with his new friends. we could not get in to the room. but sometime abang came down to see us

... few seconds before leaving abang in malang |
we were at tazkia iibs until 3 pm, where that was the time limit for us to stay there. bidding farewell to abang... it was sooo sad but bunda able to hold on until when we walked to the car she was crying. that was the first time bunda will stay apart with abang... good luck abang, bee good, study hard and wish you all the best... in three years, you will be much much better... amin
