Kumpul-Kumpul Masa Lalu

My parents...early 1970s. 

Found this pic inside an album. Well preserved. Love the edges of this small picture. 

My twin cousins.me.my lil bro & sis.Taken at "Anda" photo studio in Ngadiluwih. In its glory days, this photo studio was the main IT place during holidays.

wow..we're all married with children!!!

@Borobudur Temple: my Mom and Dad. I remembered my Mom used to telling me about her trip with Dad. They looked so happy.

I vividly remembered this picture. It was Lebaran I guess in 1984! Me...with my parents, my auntie Sri, and cousins!!!!!!

Gee...what an extended family we were!

Agung, Wawan, Lini, Ries, Ita, Anna, Nana, & Sari. And..we're all married except one.

This is me and my bro, Wawan at Trate Village, at the garden of Pak Trimo's house. Pak Trimo was my Dad's friend. What I remembered about it was the fact that I actually didn't want to touch the banana tree.

Oh...I loved making cartoons or making sketches or comics. My brother and cousin were waiting for my next project....^^

SEPT 1985 ...I was at 5th grade of elementary school. We're having a trip to Jakarta by train.with our Dad.

I remembered visiting Pekan Raya Jakarta or Jakarta Fair at Monas Square. Oh...I just realized that a company named HUMPUSS already back then. 

We're on a light plane being displayed at the Fair.

ONE Big Family @ Kediri

Bapak insisted on us taking pictures together since I came back home. Ok...let's arrange some seats and make this section of the house as the background.

Bapak & Ibu. Kadenan Komari & Mudjiasih

...then..Wawan: my brother's family came afterwards.

...followed by Nana: my younger sister's family.

All together now.

wait....there's more.

who? RIGHT. My family is not in the picture.

but that's fine, since I'm the one representing them.

one big happy family in Kediri.

2nd Day of Ramadan 2015.

From Kediri to Jogjakarta by Train (again)

It's almost 7 pm and we had to go back to Jogjakarta after spending 12 hour in Kediri. 

It looks so unreal to think.....that...after 1,5 year living in Korea...and yet I only spent 12 hours back home...in Kediri, my hometown.

But...situations compelled us to cramp our itinerary so as to be able to meet and do and make the best of our time.

Freya and Lala ....had to say goodbye to each other for the time being. 

Nana and her daughter...in front of Kediri Station front facade.

Freya, joined in...along with Nana's husband, Ricky..who's kind enough to see us off to the station. 

My mom and Freya were seen inside the waiting room at the station, while I was walking outside to take a picture...and enjoying the scent and sound of Kediri...before leaving for Jogjakarta. 

Bye-bye Mbah Pi (grandma)...see you again.  

The moment to remember. I wish all happiness and health to my Mom and all of my family. 

Thank you, Mom. See you again.

Wassalammu'alaikum. Insyaallah we meet again this year on Lebaran or in any holidays. 

Freya gave a peck on Barra's cheek while Lala watched it in excitement.

It was a great day in Kediri, back home.

My Daddy, Mom, and me in the 70's

Judging from the picture, it is clearly visible that these pictures must have been taken years back probably in the 60s or 70s, well, 70s to be exact. I also stumbled upon my Daddy's picture when he was young. 

Then, another collection of pictures I compiled. My Mom and Dad and of course, it is me when I was a baby. A naked Suray? well, most babies are. Once in their life they probably had one of the pictures taken naked.^.^

My Mom in her 20s

I just called my Mom this morning. And I miss her so much. It's been 1,5 years since the last time I saw her back then in Kediri in 2011. Gosh, I've been living in Korea and never been home since. Bismillihirrohmanirrohim I can go home this year to meet her during Summer or Winter Vacation 2013. Bismillah.

That's why I am so happy when I found the old pictures of my Mom again. 

I scanned her pictures so as to make it everlasting and evergreen.^^

She's so beautiful. 

I feel like I am looking ino myself. There is something in her that resembles me. I mean..I have resemblances that I got in her. Sure...cos I am her son. 

The pictures do indeed show the 70's look she had back then. The hair-style, the looks and ...everything in this picture ...I adore.

I love you , Mom. Hope to see you this year.

Amiiin. Ibu sehat dan bahagia selalu, ya.
