Pandanaran Food Fair
In the evening I went out to see Pandanaran Food Fair. A newspaper told that the fair would be opened this morning acquired a segment of Jalan Pandanaran. It was true, a segment from Tugu Muda to Kyai Saleh was closed. It was crowded so my appetite was also gone. I postponed my desire to see.
In the morning I was still at home. I did my prayer. Nuri provide oseng oncom for my breakfast, lunch and dinner. Mid day Nuri went to DP Mall for buying orange juice. In evening after postponing to see a fair, I went to Gramedia and Merbabu Bookstores, Pandanaran to buy a diary and a 3.5' CD-RW. I also went to BCA Pemuda ATM to draw money.

Youth Day
This day was the Indonesia Youth Day. As directed by the office of Governor we organised a ceremony to commemorate the day. It began in October 28, 1928 when some young organisations representing etnics and religion groups in islands now known as Indonesia declared that they were unity in country, nation and language. The ceremony was also to give them our tribute. The ceremony was led by Hartono and I became the inspector.
This morning I woke up about 30 minutes before sunrise. I had my prayer and then I went out for morning walking. I bought pepaya fruit, Rp4.000, for my emergency breakfast. In the office I joined a ceremony and then sank in my desk to signed documents. At 10.00 I went to Bina Marga stand to have my late breakfast. Therefore I had no lunch. I welcome 2 guests.

Inspection to Sempor
This day I made an inspection to the maintenance work of West Sempor Primary Channel which was being conducted by CV Maharani, Karanganyar. I was accompanied by Haryono and Acep. We, as asked previously, met Adi Suwarno and Suwardi at the site office. They were regional and site inspector, respectively. The office was silly. There was no document I needed. The time schedule could not be used to control the work. The daily and weekly reports were not provided. Even we could not attached drawings on the wall. The site manager was not in. I thought this contractor was not a qualified one. The inspectors had been frequently warning them but it did not work.
This morning I woke up on time. After doing prayer I did morning walking. In the market I bought a papaya. The papaya was so sweet and fresh and became a part of my breakfast. In the office I joined the rollcall. Ktut was absent. He was in Semarang on duty. At 09.30 I went to Sempor to make an inspection. At 15.30 I was arrived the office again.

Bitter Cucumber Dish
Bitter cucumber dish was my favorite. In the evening I made it. The main material was fresh bitter cucumber I bougth this morning. The spices were provided by Tyas on my asking. There were shallot, garlic, chilli pepper, tomato, salam leaf, pungent ginger (laos), dried shrimp (ebi), dried overfermented soy bean (tempe lanas), salt and coco sugar (gula kelapa). It was a kind of stirred fried dish. I called it oseng. It was delicious.
In the morning I woke up earlier than yesterday. I felt good. It might be caused by a long sleep I had. After praying I did morning walking. At the market I bought broccoli dan bitter cucumber. The cucumber was big and seemed fresh and attractive. My breakfast was red rice I prepared yesterday afternoon.

Doing Housekeeping
This day I did housekeeping. The reason was my clothes had been piling up, so I thought it was the time to wash them up. About 2 hours in the morning I operated our washing machine. On waiting for it I did degrassing on the backyard because I saw the backyard was so massy. I then cleaned it up. Before mid day I finished my loundry. However, in the afternoon I had to clean the front ditch. The water was producing stinky air so I diluted it with sprayed tap water. The ditch then was fresh again.
I woke up on time to do praying. I filled the morning with housekeeping. Nuri provided breakfast lately. In the afternoon it was so hot and humid. I kept myself in the bedroom chilled by AC. I had sleep for 30 minutes. In the evening I and Anindya did window shopping in DP Mall. I had dinner there. Lanjutannya...

This day we woke up at about the dawn. I did dawn prayer then slept again. In the office I joined rollcall and Eid Reception. At 14.30 Mr Suryono, Mr Guntoro and Eko Yunianto came by. With them I and Haryono went to Pohkumbang. The traffic was so dense made us moved slowly. At about 16.30 we arrived. About 2 hours we talked about conservation with the chief and local leader. After that we had dinner in Lembur Kuring Restaurant. Fish soup was the speciality of the place. At about 21.00 I got home. Nuri was waiting for me. Lanjutannya...

His wife, Sri Suharti, was an alumni of batch 74, too. He gave speech about Central Java vision which was derived from his slogan Bali Desa Mbangun Desa (coming to develop villages). He sent a message to the audience to help developing Central Java the most underdeveloped province in Java. The event was mainly filled with chatting between the alumni. I thought we were happy on concluding the reunion.

Visiting Java Mall
In the third of Shawwal the life was going to be normal. Nuri went to the market. She reported that most of the traders were in. I had chicken curry and rice for the breakfast. About 10.00 Mas Andi came to put the portraits of Anindya's graduation on the wall. About 11.00 I, Nuri and Anindya went to Brumbungan.
We were there for a while. We, Mbak Poppy and Mas Andi then went to Java Mall for window shopping. The mall seemed full of people. It was reasonable because people usually go out for pleasure in the third of Shawwal. At Pizza Hut stand we had our late lunch. The stand was crowded so we had to wait for about 10 minutes. I and Nuri came home at about 16.30. I missed my mid day prayer but I still maintained my afternoon prayer. On waiting sunset I did gardening.
In the evening Mr Kuswari, Indunwati (wife), Indar, Ambar and Puji (children) came home for an on call visit. Then Yuwanto, Ratna (wife) Andra and Enok (children) came home for the same visit. About 20.00 Peni came from Salaman. She would be leaving for Jakarta tomorrow by plane. Lanjutannya...
