|  | From Villa Cinere Mas, we proceeded to my parents' house in Puri Cinere to attend their open house event. My parents invited all their sons, their wives and their in-laws' (besan) families for a big family gathering and silaturahmi.
By that time, our stomach was already full so we didn't eat much there (even though the signature dish is my mother's "tongue steak" or steak lidah). We took the opportunity to have a chat with all my parents' in-laws.
I noticed that Inka also had a serious discussion with Aunty Dian, which is Aunty Ria (my sister in-law)'s elder sister, although most of Inka and Irza's time was spent playing and having fun with Alif and Kayla, their cousins.

| | Still on the same day, Saturday, 13 October 2007, in the evening, we went to my wife's cousin's house in Villa Cinere Mas, not far from my parent's house in Puri Cinere. Inka and Irza were very tired so that they were dozed off for a while in the car on our way there.
We were greeted by Papa Dodi, Mama Indha and their adorable daughter, Naya. The host also prepared some homemade "baso tahu siomay", which is very very delicious. :)

| | On the same day, Saturday, 13 October 2007, after celebrating Hari Raya Idul Fitri at my parent's house, we went to my in-law's house in Gandul, just 15 minutes' drive east of Cinere. The whole family asked for forgiveness from Nenek and Aunty Tessa, before having another feast of Lebaran there comprising of ketupat, rendang and gulai ayam.
We also took the opportunity to visit (ziarah) Kakek (my late father-in-law)'s graveyard (makam), which is located near Nenek's house in Gandul. This is the first time Inka and Irza visited their grandfather's tomb. Unfortunately, we saw a "Bina Marga" pole not far from the tomb. Seems that the graveyard will need to make way for new expressways (Antasari-Citayam and Cinere-Depok-Jagorawi) going to be built around the area, so the tomb might need to be moved.

| | On Saturday, 13 October 2007, after performing Shalat Ied prayer at a mosque nearby in the morning, we celebrate Hari Raya Idul Fitri with family and relatives at my parent's residence in Puri Cinere, Depok, south of Jakarta.
Aki gave a short speech to the whole family, before all of us asked for forgiveness from each other, especially from Aki and Ene. After having the special Lebaran feast, comprising of ketupat, gulai ayam and sambal goreng, together with nasi kuning and opor ayam, which is as per Inka's request, we had a short photo session with the whole family.

| | During our mudik trip to Jakarta, Indonesia, last month, we receive invitation from Andung, which is my mother-in-law's elder sister, to have dinner at her place in Cinere. "Andung" actually means grandmother in Minang language, and that's how Inka and Irza usually call her.
One of Andung's specialties, which is a hit for the kids, is her macaroni soup. I believe Inka finished couple bowls of macaroni soup at that time.

| | We also went to my mother-in-law's house in Gandul, a small village which is located east of Cinere. Normally, it will only take around 10-15 minutes to reach Gandul from Cinere, however there's a bridge construction which leads to the closure of the Jalan Bukit Cinere road, the main artery road from Cinere to Gandul. Therefore, to reach Gandul, we need to go through south Cinere (near Limo), and the roads are not in good condition, and the journey is taking much longer, around half an-hour's drive.
My mother-in-law held a small dinner event at her house in Gandul, since she would be going to Mecca for her Haj pilgrimage (she's currently in Saudi Arabia at the time of writing). We invited some of our relatives, and the food were marvelous. :) Dendeng balado, one of my favourite Padang dish, was on the menu list (my mother-in-law is a Minang). Some cakes were also being served, and to my surprise, comro (oncom di jero, a traditional Sundanese snack), is included as well.
Aunty Tessa (my wife's sister) bought frog balloons for both Inka and Irza, while the horse-cart toy was bought during our trip to Kelapa Dua, Depok for my mother-in-law's Haj departure.

| | In my parents' house in Cinere, south of Jakarta, Inka and Irza were so happy to meet their cousins, Alif, Kayla and Baby Rafa. Alif and Kayla are the children of Uncle Arief and Aunty Via, while Rafa is the son of Uncle Firman and Aunty Ria.
