483928Jolly news, now she can be closer to Adang's heart.
Of course she hadn't got a clue where she was. She just happened to be in Bangkok, lost. And, of course, she will have forgotten everything when on trial, claiming memory loss.
It's amazing how far you can travel with memory loss. Must have taken a wrong turn after stumbling out of the hospital.
Given the photograph accompanying this article, its somewhat ironical that Nunun will again be in a position to do some more 'singing' in Jakarta when she is questioned by the KPK. A miracle medical cure will undoubtedly take place during her flight to Jakarta as one would expect that she will be well enough to face questioning by the KPK when she lands in Jakarta.
Her flight will be via Mongolia, Nigeria, Tasmania and the Orkney Islands and is expected to take 36 hours due to a number of fuel stops......and assorted delays.

Long-time fugitive graft suspect Nunun Nurbaeti was arrested Friday afternoon in Bangkok, Thailand by Interpol agents and is being returned to Indonesia for questioning, the Corruption Eradication Commission said on Saturday.
She is wanted in connection with the 2004 bribery case involving the appointment of Miranda Goeltom as central bank deputy governor. Nunun allegedly handed out billions of rupiah in bribes in the form of traveler's checks to lawmakers to ensure Miranda's selection.
She has been on the Interpol red list since June 2011 but has been out of the country much longer. Her family has insisted that she was too ill to face questioning and that she went abroad for medical treatment.
Her lawyer, Ira Rachman, said she would accompany Nunun when she is questioned by the KPK.
As word spread of her arrest, journalists flocked to Soekarno Hatta International Airport to await her early evening arrival from Bangkok.
