Jakarta, Macet...

Macet means traffic jam in Jakarta.

And trust me, they really live up to that reputation!

It took me about 90mins flight to reach JKT from KUL.

And, guess what, it took me another 90mins sitting in the BlueBird (the name of the cab in Jakarta) to reach my hotel.

And its not because of distance, Okay.

Its all because of the MACET!

From airport to the hotel is only about 40KM.... That's about Puchong to KLIA.

Oh well, other than the Macet, I managed to have a good meeting, a good meal at their food court in one of the shopping mall....

And most importantly, a glass of Avocado Chocolate in the airport! Yummmm yummm....

Yummy Indonesian Lunch... its rice with nice sambal and yummy bebek..

Yummy Avacado Chocolate. Once had it in Bali, and can't forget about it....

Krabbbbiiiiieeee.....and camera.

Went to Krabi last weekend with J, for the second time this year.

Are we crazy? Hmmmmm... wanted to go with the Girls, but nobody can make it during the "special rate" period offered by AA.

So, me & J, decided to just go and spend our weekend there. He loves Thailand so much, so a weekend in Krabi makes him happy too.

Of coz, I had fun too. Except was not happy that my new camera did not live up to its expectation. I wanted something light and yet can withstand my outdoor (okay, my occasional outdoor) activities.

So, I wanted something that is DURABLE and Waterproof. After check on a few models, I decided on Sony TX-5, which claimed to be Waterproof 10-meter.

So while in Krabi, I decided to put it to test while we were Kayaking. All was fine till half way through the Kayaking.... it gave me a message asking me to OFF and ON the camera again. So I did... but only problem... I managed to OFF it, but didn't manage to ON it.

That's irritates me, of coz. So anyway, back to Krabi....

We stayed at the same place... and ate at the same place also.... Haaaaa.
And it was nice that some of the people actually remembers us.
Oh well, of coz, probably not that many people will actually goes there TWICE in 3-months time, right?

Here, some pictures taken from my CAMERA, while it was still functioning......

J trying to look stylo with my Sunglass...

With the nice couple we met there...

Kayaking @ Ao Tha Lane.

Day : -5 : Struggling to pack...

Counting down... counting down..... but still another 5 days to go.

But I think it will come very very soon.

I still haven't pack. Only putting everything in one spot.... and seriously planning to do that tomorrow. 

What did I do so far?

I re-purchase my ticket to Singapore for an earlier flight. Its stupid that they make you pay more if you want to change your ticket. If buy new one, CHEAPER! Sigh.... what to do, Budget Airlines.

I had also changed monies that I think should be sufficient.... but actually on second thought, think that it might not be enough. 

I had also done more research the past few days... though still juggling with works etc..... 

So got a much better idea on what to do.... but then again, not going to do too much research also. Going to just submerge myself into the environment..... if its possible.

Got my camera back after repaired... ya, stupid camera gave problem only after less than A MONTH OLD! Talk more about that in another post......

For now...... still going to continue sloooowwwllllyyyy pack.......

Love is a choice.

Saw this on a friend's FB, and think its very true.

"When we meet the right person to love when we're at the right place at the right time, that's chance. When you meet someone you're attracted to, that's not a choice. That's chance. Being caught up in a moment (and there's a lot of couples who get together because of this) is not a choice. That's also a chance.

The difference is what happens afterwards. When will you take that infatuation, that crush, that mind-blowing attraction to the next level? That's when all sanity goes back, you sit down and contemplate whether you want to make this into a concrete relationship or just a fling. If you decide to love a person, even with his faults, that's not a chance. That's choice. When you choose to be with a person, no matter what, that's choice.

Even if you know there are many people out there who are more attractive, smarter, and richer than your mate, and yet, you decide to love your mate just the same, that's choice. Infatuation, crushes, attraction comes to us by chance. But true love that lasts is truly a choice. A choice that we make.

Regarding soul mates, there's a beautiful movie quote that I believe is so true about this:

"Fate brings you together, but it's still up to you to make it happen."

I do believe that soul mates do exist. That there is truly someone made for you. But it's still up to you to make the choice if you're going to do something about it or not. We may meet our soul mates by chance, but loving and staying with our soul mates is still a choice we have to make.

We came to the world not by finding someone perfect to love…but to learn how to love an imperfect person perfectly.

Love itself is a choice."

Do you wash your own car?

I washed my new baby for the very first time this morning.

Proud of myself.

Haaaaa... Ya, to some of you might be no big deal, but to me, it is.

So far, I always sent it to Car Wash. But this morning, I decided to wash it myself.

Someone "drew" on my car last week, pleading "Wash Me!".

I don't know who did it, but there are two usual suspects... J or my bro...

Ya, its that dirty that the someone can write "Wash Me" on it. Not on one place, but 4 places... :(

Oh well... I washed it and proud.

Out-of-Petrol Phobia

Things that makes a MAN....

Saw this article in one of the magazine recently, and think that its very true.

Here to share with you guys, especially the MAN.

Illegal Parking

I do that once in a while, especially at places where I have difficulty finding parking.

But, I always make sure I don't block the road. At least some ethic there la huh... ;)

I had a "near-tow" incident this afternoon.

IF I were ONE-MINUTE = SIXYT-SECONDS late, I would had seen my car on the tow truck.

So, yeah, that 1-Minute would had changed a lot of things. Would had spoilt my day.

I needed to go to the Bank, and there were no place to park, so I park illegally, right in front of a drinks stall.

I was walking towards my car, and I saw a tow-truck nearby my car. It didn't hit me yet.

I went in my car and start my engine. Then it HIT me!

I saw a few MBSJ-Uniformed Officers standing near my car, and the TOW TRUCK, was actually reversing towards my car!

Phhhhhhheeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww!

I start my engine and drove off. And one of the officer were staring at me, and wrote down my car number.

Well, I don't know IF I will get any summon for this, hopefully not.

I hope not, but trust me, I can really see his UNHAPPY FACE.
