Bon Voyage, Bapak & Ibu W...

As Salaam,

Getting together for our last afternoon tea in Tehran with Ibu Malinar. In keeping with our ASEAN tradition, late this afternoon, we, the trailing spouses and hubbies, paid a farewell visit to Ambassador Iwan and Ibu Malinar at their residence, Wisma Indonesia, a few hours before their departure home later in the evening.

A visit which was scheduled for just a few while lasted over an hour as though we could never let them go.

Bon Voyage our dear sister, have a pleasant and enjoyable trip back to Jakarta, may you all be bestowed with God's choicest blessings and protection, always....Amin

Wassalam.

Indonesian cuisine n hospitality...

more like a late lunch though...

Adieu to the Wiranata-atmadjas...

As Salaam,

Saturday, May 28th...hosted a farewell dinner in honor of our dear Indonesian colleagues, Ambassador Bapak Iwan and Ibu Malinar Wiranata-atmadja at the residence. They will be leaving Tehran for Jakarta tomorrow upon completion of Bapak Iwan's tenure in this country.

After a friendship of over three years in Tehran, once again its time for us to be left behind yet again, by another best and closest of friend in a far away land. Although we shall be far apart, hopefully we shall be still close at heart. And may we cross each other's paths again in the future, InsyaAllah. Your smile, your laughter, your kind-heartedness, your sisterly hugs and kisses, and your great companionship will be deeply missed, dear Ibu...

As you are leaving my dear friend, we wish you, bapak and your family all our best wishes always, and may Allah SWT blesses you all with continuous good health and happiness always, and live happily ever after. God bless us all, Amin.

Wassalam
