Happy 65th Independence Day!
Dirgahayu Republik Indonesia – Merdeka!

It’s a holiday here, due to our Independence Day. (Yup, that explains the waving flag at the top and a boy carrying flag at the bottom right of the blog). We didn’t go anywhere today because the weather didn’t look so promising. The sky had been cloudy since we got up from bed and there was a short, little rain just before noon. So we chose to stayed at home and had a relaxing time with our kids.

Unlike usual, there’s no Independence Day celebration in our neighborhood this year. No kids or family competition, parades, fair (pasar malam), bazaar or anything whatsoever. Perhaps because it falls on Ramadan month so people are more focus on their religious activity. Besides, I don’t think many people want to get tired and sweaty while fasting. So it’s been a quiet (and cloudy) holiday…

Have a great day everyone!
