After our first meal on Indonesian soil, we headed towards Borobudur. As said in my previous entry, Borobudur temple was the main reason why we traveled to Indonesia. We were all stuffed after lunch that most of us decided to nap while on the way to Borobudur. The journey from the center of Jogjakarta to the Borobudur temple is approximately 40 minutes depending on traffic. On the way you would be able to see from the typical city life to the outskirts. Upon arriving at the entrance you would definitely be swamped with people trying to sell souvenirs. Some were really aggressive and i told him, i haven’t even seen the place and you are asking me to buy ? He kept quiet for a while and he replied, then Sir, remember my name and buy from me when you have finished walking around the temple. NOTE: Even if you can converse in Bahasa Malaysia, it would be hard to catch what the locals are saying as their slang is heavy. Even certain terms are totally different. For foreigners, there’s a different entrance. Thus the entrance fee is also different T.T

My 2010 starts now, hello !
I am finally back ! Gosh the last time i updated my blog was last year, hahaha. One of the main reasons for my no-action is because i was on a backpacking trip in our neighbouring country more than a week ago. Unlike the rest who followed me, i never had the energy to write an entry right after i got back. I was vomiting profusely upon arrival and decided to rest for the whole week and here i am, strong as a stallion *coughs* It’s 2010 ! and it’s sad to see what has happened to Haiti. Imagine 1/3 of the population gone just like that, which simply shows 2012 is getting momentum XD we will never know what will happen next and best if we spend our time wisely especially with our loved ones My backpacking trip which is currently in the 2nd year running has definitely opened my eyes wideeeee. One shouldn’t procrastinate All in all, the trip was excellent. Everything that Angeline and i planned, turned out just like we wanted. Probably we need to trim the size of the group cause as expected, the bigger it is, the harder to control. My 2010 will start
