A day with family in Jakarta

Last week, at this time, i was having so much fun with my cousins.  They're here for 3 nights. 2 nights in Bandung and a night in Jakarta.  I only met them in Jakarta because i've class to attend.  DAMNN!! if there's no class i can join them in Bandung.  But, it's ok to meet them only in Jakarta.

I was very excited to meet them.  I attended my morning classes and after the class finished at 11am, i rushed to my house to drop my bag and other unnecessary things before i took a taxi to DUFAN.  DUFAN stands for Dunia Fantasy which is located in Ancol, Jakarta Utara.  It's a family theme park.  More or less like Sunway Lagoon in Malaysia.  But there, in Ancol, besides DUFAN, there's sea world, ecopark, samudera, and etc. Different place offer you different entertainment and fun.

I reached DUFAN at around 11.45am.  The entrance fee to Ancol is IRP 15, 000 per head and another IRP 15,000 per vehicle.  For public transport like taxi, no need to pay for the entrance fee.  Entrance fee for vehicle is just for private vehicles.  I waited for less than 30 minutes.  Maybe around 10 minutes for my uncle.  They're already inside Ancol but they dont know how to reach DUFAN.

Once i saw an MPV stopped in front of me,  I felt very happy cz i know it's him, my uncle with his family.  Then, he went to the ticket counter to buy the entrance ticket. wohooo, i'm the first malaysian among 2011 batch set my footstep there.  The ticket for weekdays is IRP 150,000 per person.  At least i only spent my money on taxi fee, and entrance fee.

We walked to the theme park and everyone was very excited.  After getting through the security gate and have our hand stamped, the fun begins.  There's not many people there.  Maybe because it's weekdays.  The lesser the better.  We only queued for certain games.  And i played almost all games in DUFAN except for the roller coaster because it's still in maintenance.  Among all the games, there's two nerve wrecking games. Hysteria and Kicir-kicir.  Hysteria is just like spaceshot in Genting Highland but not too high.  Spaceshot is higher.  And Kicir-kicir, the shape is like windmill the seat can rotate 360 degree and it rotates upside down as the blades of Kicir-kicir also rotates 360 degree.  It was awesome!!!  Played it with my cousin.

After walking for few hours till the park closed, we went to ecopark to watch light show.  It's musical show actually.  After the show, we went straight to the hotel.  I joined them to sleep in the hotel. :) After they put their luggages in their room, i brought them to my house to take my bag for tomorrow's class.  Luckily i can remember the road to my house.  My uncle and my two cousins had a chance to see my house and my room.  After i packed everything for tomorrow, we went to KL Village for dinner. Thanks again i can remember the way to Jalan Jaksa. fuhh.  I was scared that i cant remember the way but thanks to my photographic memory. hahaha.

After dinner, we went back to the hotel as it was almost midnight.  At the hotel, we got nothing else to do except to sleep.  Everyone's tired after having so much fun.  The next day, i went back at 7.30am and they have to catch their flight back to KL at 1130am.  I had so much fun with them and i was grateful to be able to meet them in Jakarta.  Here are the pictures of us having so much fun in DUFAN :
