the feast

i tried to do a long descriptive post on this, but words fail me. i even got really teary at when i received a phone call from my mother this morning, when i arrived at the embassy and found out that i missed the prayer. but i got plenty of good food to eat on the spot and take away, had an awesome seminar class with a guest lecturer from the states, and my ajarn said that she loved my complexion.

do enjoy the humble pictures. i wish i have replaced my camera earlier, though. he is indeed loyal, but fujifilm is super crappy.

(people lining up in front of wisma indonesia, the residence of the ambassador of indonesia for thailand. later on, everybody will meet the ambassador himself at the residence's door, to shake hands and wish each other a happy eid.)

(the famous "ketupat" did not make a glorious appearance today, instead it was substituted with "lontong".)

(with ibu nana, wife of an indonesian diplomat, and a very dear friend.)

(me and malorie, my fellow scholar, whom i smuggled in to the feast. she has been to indonesia before, and was ecstatic to see lotsa people wearing batik.)
