Jakarta: Taxi = Alphard

It was like 2 months before our Yogyakarta + Bali trip and i received a message from AirAsia notifying that our connecting flight in Jakarta got canceled and it was scheduled for the next day. After going through all possible options, the best outcome was to spend a night in Jakarta itself. Since Jakarta was never in our initial plan, we had to find the cheapest place to stay so that it doesn’t blow our travel budget. Before the trip, Angeline and i googled for transportation, food as well as places to stay. Estimated cost was to be less than RM150. It was raining when we arrived. As i looked out of the window i realized AirAsia Indonesia had a bus to ferry us from the plane to the terminal. WHAT a relief! Imagine getting soaked in the rain >.<! The clip is kinda fuzzy. Took it with my trusty e71 The terminal that we were in was some sort of like low cost terminal but definitely better than LCCT.

It’s easy to register as a voter!

Published by in personal on May 19th, 2010

I finally reached the legal age to be a voter and to be a responsible citizen, i registered myself at a nearby post office. Surprisingly, it took me less than a minute. Probably the longest part of the whole process was waiting for your turn. I dragged my brother along, just to show him what i was suppose to do. We walked to the post office near Sunshine Square. All that was required was my Identification Card (IC). Then i was asked a rather confusing quetion: Man@counter: “Kamu ini apa?” (What are you?) Man@counter: “Chrisitian?” Me: “Oh agama?” (Oh religion?) Me: Hindu Paper work doesn’t have the option of mix or chindian, etc. Anyway that doesn’t really matter. The guy behind the counter then printed out a slip for me to check my details and asked for my signature. THAT’S IT! I am finally a voter! The next elections will be in the year 2012, unless you know ler something crops up in my area. I am only saying that cause there’s so many by-elections recently that you just wouldn’t know what would happen next. So for those who have reached the age of 21, go and register! It’s easy

Roti apa kamu mau?

Published by in food on May 3rd, 2010

I was waiting in front of a stall for my roti naan to be done when I was suddenly greeted by a small kitten right in front of me. It kept purring which got the attention of one of the fellas from the stall. He took the kitty away and returned. He immediately got behind the stall and started massaging the dough. “Roti apa kamu mau?” he asked. He never washed his hands.
