Goodbye Jakarta

In a few days, I will be moving to Bali. Leaving my hometown, my family, my friends. I have this job offer that is too irresistible to pass on to. A job that is more than just a title but also my passion. I know things will be very very different. I will be there all alone with my twisted mind, will have so many adjustments and some getting used too. Am scared as hell. But I want to do this. Here are some pictures from the cute little farewell party my friends arranged for me. I love you, beautiful people. Goodbye for now...

My lovely sweet crazy friends

They gave me two pairs of flats in shocking color!
