Nadia is Back Home to KL... :o(

After spending 10 days here in Jakarta, today Nadia left to airport to go back to KL. Ooooh, I miss you already, my lovely Nadia. She and her mom took a 2pm flight. We dropped them at the airport. Since we heard that there had been some big tidal that had been going on since yesterday, we decided to take Damri there. We were worried that there would be bad traffic and that we had to be asked to take another route which none of us was aware of. Then, Damri it was. But it was fun, and Nadia was enjoying her Damri ride too.

Ten days seem like seconds only for me. I spend one full day with Nadia at Kidzania on Monday. She seemed to enjoy her time at Kidzania. At first, she felt uncomfortable playing all alone without me or Mila accompanying her, but it was the rule. We can only wait outside the playing area and check on her once in awhile. Finally, she started to enjoying her time and activities. She visited bank, learned how to queue at the bank and withdrew some money. She also went to the department store, learned how to make perfume and bracelet.

Then she went shopping for groceries at the supermarket. Had her hair done and put some make up at the saloon. Then she worked as a model at Vita’s Locker and did the fashion show. Since her cash was running out, we asked her to work as a tour leader at Panorama Travel and a cashier at the pharmacy. She was very excited when she got paid 8 Kidzos (that’s the currency at Kidzania world). Having enough money again, she then paid a visit to chocolate, ice cream and noodle factories. And she ended up her day at Kidzania by riding a bus for a city tour. She was really having fun there. And it was a very valuable experience too for her, playing and having knowledge at the same time. She said that she would tell it all to her daddy when she got back.

Oh ya, one funny story to tell too. Nadia always wanted to meet Pak Polisi just to proof that Pak Polisi is nice and friendly, and that she is not afraid of them. Shierly, her cousin is afraid of Pak Polisi actually, that’s why she was obsessed to show and tell her that Pak Polisi is nice and friendly. Finally, after coming with me to my office, at 12pm we went to JaCC to meet my mum that would take her back home from there while I went back to office again. At the entrance, she saw a man that she thought was a police. Well, he was not real police, he was a security guard at JaCC actually who wore a police-like uniform. Then, she waived and smiled while saying "Hello, Pak Polisi!" Then I had an idea. I asked her if she wanted to take picture with him, and she said yes. Then she did. She was very excited… and would tell her story and show the picture to her cousin and everybody else.

Oooooh, Nadia, you are so cute. I miss you already now…
