Ied Holidays

I returned to hometown on Tuesday but before I went to Jakarta first to my father’s family home. On Eid day, in the morning we went to Jakarta 3 High School for ied prayer and continued does sungkeman to grandmother and relatives. After we had sungkeman, then we had brunch of ketupat which was made by my grandma. In the afternoon, we tried new public transportation namely MRT, but the MRT doesn’t meet my expectation because the travel time between stations is not too fast and is not much different from commuter line.

            Wednesday afternoon at 5.00 pm we returned to hometown to Cirebon, but first we stopped at the supermarket to maghrib pray and bought some foods for ate in the car. Around 6.30 pm, we continued the trip but were stuck in traffic. While in the middle of traffic jam, we felt upset because we were tired and can’t went to the toilet. We can’t enter the rest area km 39 because it was full. When the time shown at 00.00 am, we arrived the rest area km 57. it was estimed that we had spent almost five hours until the rest area km 57 and it was our longest time during the trip returned to hometown. Finally we decided via the Pantura route to avoid traffic jam. We arrived at Cirebon at 4.20 am and spent 11 hours of traveling time.

            On Thursday, we were forced to wake up at 7.30 am because we had to went to Lembur to visit grave and halal bihalal. During the trip, we were stuck in traffic jam. Because it was lunch time, we decided to went to grandma’s house for lunch and dzuhur pray. After that, we continued to visit grave and halal bihalal to another places. We arrived at villa at 8.00 om and continued withe divide THR and Alhamdulillah I still get THR.

            Friday morning we had breakfast with Nasi Lengko. At 10.00 am we went to aunt’s house and continued to buy souvenirs. After that we tasted Cirebon’s unique culinary namely mie kocklok, after that my cousins and I went to another place and arrived at the villa at 00.00 am. Saturday morning we had breakfast with Nasi Jamblang and it is a mandatory meal before returning to Jakarta, the container is from jati leaf and that made it taste differnt. In the afternoon one by one began to went home, some went to Solo, Bogor, Jakarta, and Depok. We departed from Cirebon at 2.30 pm and arrived in Depok at 11.00 pm. This years’s Eid is the Eid with the longest trip.
