Flood
On the way to visit my brothers who volunteer to stay at the house in order to take care of our five dogs. My mom and I have evacuated out since November 4, 2011.
It was 28 years ago that the water flooded into my house. The water level was half ankle at that time. But it didn't get into any first-floor rooms; this year the water got into some of the first-floor rooms.

Garlic - my broken leg puppy
A very naughty three month old, Garlic, probably fell down from this table, where we assume that she climbed to the chair and then from the chair to this table before decided to jumped down to the ground. By the time that we heard her cries out loud, she was on the floor.

Uniqlo is one of my favorite cloth store. Its design is usually simple and casual. Not too expensive Japanese brand name. So I decide to visit it on the first day opening in Thailand at Isetan. But I change my mind as soon as I get to the front area of the shop which is so crowded with a long queue waiting.

One more time in Singapore
As there is no direct flight from Yogyakarta to Bangkok, we decide to fly via Singapore. Since my last visit to Singapore was several years ago, I am happy to visit a new place like the Marina Bay Sand and to have a chilli crab for my lunch at No Signboard Seafood restaurant before going back home.
That is my short trip for Indonesia: Bangkok - Surabaya - Yogyakarta - Singapore - Bangkok.

Once again in Indonesia - Yogjakarta
Early in the morning we walk from our hotel to visit the Borobudur.
Borobudur is an 8th-century Mahayana Buddhist monument near Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. The monument comprises six square platforms topped by three circular platforms, and is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues. A main dome, located at the center of the top platform, is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues seated inside perforated stupa.
After breakfast, we then leave Borobudur to visit the Sultan's Palace or Kraton. Kraton or Keraton is the Javanese word for a royal palace. Its name is derived from ratu, which means "ruler" (king or queen). The Sultan’s Palace or Kraton, with its grand elegent Javanese architecture, lay in the centre of Jogja city. It was built in 1755 by Prince Mangkubumi was then called Sultan Hamengku Buwono I.
Pavillion in the Kraton.
Next is the Tama Sari Water Castle. It is a site of a former royal garden of the Sultanate of Yogyakarta. It is located about 2 km south within the grounds of the Kraton, Yogyakarta. Built in mid 18th century, the Taman Sari had multiple functions, such as a resting area, a workshop, a meditation area, a defense area, and a hiding place. Today only the central bathing complex is well preserved, while the other areas have been largely occupied by the Kampung Taman settlement.
Prambanan, our last place to visit for this Indonesian trip.
Prambanan is a ninth century Hindu temple compound in Central Java, Indonesia, dedicated to the Trimurti, the expression of God as Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. The temple compound is located approximately 18 km east of Yogyakarta city on the boundary between Yogyakarta and Central Java province. The temple is the largest Hindu temple in Indonesia, and is one of the largest and the most beautiful Hindu temples in Southeast Asia.
