The strangest thing happened to me today. Was driving along Holland Road, when a vintage mini horned at me. I thought the owner of the car was upset with me for dreaming and driving off late when the lights turn green. He kept gesturing to me whilst he was driving. In my mind, I was […]
Been back for about 7 hours, but I am already missing Jakarta. O my, am I really becoming so accustomed to good life that I actually wished I was back in Jakarta? Okie, but I really do miss driving around on my own, my mum’s cooking, my sister’s crappy nonsense, my dad’s long tales, all […]
Finally succumbed to the temptation and bought the iPod. Been busy trying to download the songs and act tech savvy again. Since I stopped working in the IT industry, I am not so tech savvy when it comes to all things high tech. Quite bimbotic now. But its really cool. I can “supposedly” store up […]
Its been a hell of a good week. Been partying for christmas with dearie’s collegues. Lots of poker, lots of booze, lots of fat food and lots of fun. Tired.
I am a mountain turtle. This movie has already shown in Singapore a few months back but I only managed to watch it on DVD when I bought it over in Jakarta. Okie, the wait was worth it, its quite good, or should I say I am deprived or bored?
Been entrusted by my dear friend […]

I thought I’ve seen the last of casette tapes, since most people around me have even moved onto ipods. But how wrong am I. In jakarta, most cars are fitted with casette tape players, unless you top up to get a CD player. Besides most of the music shops sell casette tapes, […]
I have only been here about 2 weeks and I have already been to all the major malls in Jakarta, or rather those that are worth visiting. You have Plaza Indonesia, Plaza Senayan, the newest which is Senayan City, hmm not to mention the smaller ones like Plaza Semanggi and the various ITC Malls. But […]
Went to the international women’s bazaar at jakarta international convention centre. My first ever bazaar. There was really a lot of things to see & to buy. The rule of the thumb was if you see something you really like, BUY it, else it will disappear when you decided to get it. There were lots […]
