How's My Holiday Going?

Hello!
Well, the post's title is a question for me...from me.
Okay, I'll answer that...
So, remember that I once told you guys that I went to Semarang?
Well, there, I slept at my friend's house...I didn't follow my father's choice for a sleeping spot which would be a hotel.
And our purpose of going to Semarang was to find my uncle there, which went to Semarang from Jakarta.
Later on, he followed my family to Yogyakarta.
Going back to the time when I was at Semarang...my friend and I played our DS consoles together...we used the multiplayer function, a staple for all consoles nowadays.
We played Mario Kart DS and New Super Mario Bros. at that time.
Unlike my cousin, which likes to gang up when playing Mario Kart DS, my friend at Semarang is very competitive -- he didn't gang up with me.
If he were to gang up at Mario Kart, he would gang up with the AI, which he did do.
I also played Mario Party...I think.
Oh, we also played Pokémon at that time...he used Pokémon Black, if I remember correctly...and I used Pokémon Black 2.
We first battled with each other and I won.
Afterwards, we tried the Pokémon Musical, which was a highly criticized feature, because it isn't so great, when compared with the old Pokémon (Super) Contests, which is similar.
My friend actually likes it...and whenever we play together, he would always get the better comments, signifying his superior dress-up skills.
And then, going to the time when my uncle and his family went to Yogyakarta with us...
My father recommended him some great food spots at Yogyakarta and we visited them to eat there.
I obtained some pictures of the food I ate, which I'll show to you guys later on.
Well, aside from my uncle and his family's personalities, I wouldn't say anything else about this.
I'll just leap to the things that happened yesterday...along with things that happened today.
So...me and my family departed from Yogyakarta to Surabaya yesterday and we arrived today in the morning, before 6 AM (WIB)...we came ~30 minutes earlier.
Me and my mother & father are staying at my grandmother's house...she's my mother's mother...my father's mother's already deceased and there's nothing that I know about her.
I played with my cousin that I like as a playmate...man, things are awesome with him!
I visited his house and I just got back from his house.
I played my DS with him, just like what I did with my friend at Semarang...that's my favorite activity when I'm with him.
I played Mario Kart, Mario Party and New Super Mario Bros. with him...yep, them Mario games...they sure pack a punch when you're talking about fun.
I also played Mario Sports Mix and Mario Kart using the Wii at his house, but the DS games were much better.
Oh yeah, at the time when we played the DS games, my cousin's sister also played along...she also played Mario Kart Wii with me, but I quit playing after a single match...I got bored.
And we visited Pasar Atum, a little place to go shopping...it's a bit similar to a mall, but it follows the traditional road of running the place, since it was made to be a market.
I played Mario Kart there too with my cousins...I also faced their mother.
When I faced my cousins and their mother in a battle, I kept winning...probably   all the racing by playing Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3DX+ gave me some mean driving skills?
I actually have a data card for Mario Kart (two cards, each for two different versions of Mario Kart), but I never used it at Yogyakarta, since Timezone at Plaza Ambarrukmo doesn't have it, but Studio 21 (a theater to watch movies) has an arcade center with Mario Kart in it.
Okay then, I guess I'm done talking about the things that have happened in my holiday...so I'll post my pictures!
Okay, this is a picture of some noodles that I ate at Mie Ceker, which is at Yogyakarta.
Here's its Foursquare page...right here.
You should try it sometime if you're at Yogyakarta...it's a good place.
 This is a place to eat food that originated from Banjar, an Indonesian location.
 The place is nearby my friend's house...remember, the movie star one?
 The place's name is Kindai and its Foursquare page is right here.
It's also a good place in Yogyakarta.
 This is some seafood that I ate at Semarang when I went there.
I can't link anyone to the place using Foursquare because I forgot the place's name.
 This is another thing that I ate at Semarang...it's durian ice cream with some durian fruit pieces.
I also can't link anyone to this place...
 Okay...these foods are from a place called Mahkota.
They are Chinese-oriented...
Its Foursquare page would be right here...go there sometime, the place is good!
 Now this is a place called Mang Engking, a great place for seafood.
We came here after going to Sendangsono.
At the time when me, my family, my uncle and his family ate there, the vegetables that my family ordered made some trouble...it's made of raw vegetables which would pose a risk of some troubles for one's stomach...and y mother and father did get some trouble later on.
I also got afflicted with some trouble, but I don't think that my stomach problem's caused by the vegetables, since I didn't even eat a single bit.
But even though my mother and father got some troubles after eating there, don't let it be a cause to refuse to go to Mang Engking, because it might just be a one-time accident, since those stuffs happen, right?
Here's the Foursquare page...just like all the others...it's right here.
And for the photos right here...I took these at Mang Engking too.
 Me, my mother and my cousin (my father's side) fed the fishes and that resulted in a fight for food amongst the fishes...and these photos are photos of the fight.
Man, fishes would do anything for food, huh?
Well, I do have two more photos, but sadly, those can't be sent to my aunt's MacBook Air, which is the thing that I'm using to post this post...so, I'll just pull this post's plug...thanks, goodbye and have a nice day!
