Had breakfast(Oh so wonderful food!) and my uncle's friend came to pick us up. My uncle was stressing on how this was my first time coming to Jakarta so we went on this 2-hour drive around the whole city. Sort of a tour, I guess. Jakarta is HUGE. And there are lots of skyscrapers and glass buildings everywhere! Sorry I'm just so awed. Heh. Oh, and there are very cool statues like, almost everywhere! No kidding though. I saw all these effin' expensive hotels like J. W. Marriott and The Carlton. Talk about international chain hotels. Damn.
One of the many statues in the city.
This fella is holding a plate of flames or something. But my uncle likes to call him the
Pizza man cuz it looks like he's carrying a pizza.
We also passed this Pakistanese demonstration. So many friggin' people! Like few thousands!
Than we went to eat at this restaurant that my uncle's friend ran called
Sop Ikan Batam. Apparently its famous for its fish soup. It was good, maybe just a tad too salty though. Then he brought us to this mega-rich neighbourhood to have a look at the houses.
Fuck, these people have nothing to do with their money but to build a lake in front of their houses and ride their own motorboats in them! The adults were all teasing me saying this is where I should come to find a rich ass husband. No arguments there! Gladly!
And then It was the time I was looking forward to the whole day!
SHOPPING!
Mal Kelapa Gading. Damn good stuff there. I walked in and there was this 50% sale on evening dresses going on and I saw this gorgeous dress. Like,
♥♥♥
Heck, I wanted it! But guess how much it costs? Rp. 775,000. That's like, RM234. And that's
after the 50% discount. So the original price was RM468. WTF. There goes my chances of getting it. Always look at the price tag before you let yourself fall in love with clothes.
I found a dress that I liked and actually bought though. But you can't see it!! Cuz I'm gonna wear it for CNY! :p
But you can see this dress cuz I didn't buy it. Har. Didn't do much but shopping that day. And after a while I got bored while waiting for my mum and my aunt while they try clothes.
Therefore,
After like, 3 hours of shopping, getting lost and walking till our feet hurt, my uncle came to pick us up for dinner and we ate at this really authentic Singaporean restaurant. The food was just like home! And my uncle found out that the chef was a chinese-trained Malay he was just plain shocked. Like, wtf. LOL. Oh and look at what I saw on the way to dinner!
LOL SORRY CIA!
End of shopping day one.
And my uncle wanted to bring me to this highland place called
Puncak. So he said his friend'll pick us up at 10am. Since we have lots of time the next morning, I planned to wake up early and go for a swim in the much alluring pool. Then later on that night my uncle called and said change of plans. We'll be leaving for
Puncak at 8.30am. WTF. I wanted to swim! TT____TT Sighhhh.
Oh by the way, I
love the TV here. They have Animax, MTV, [V], HBO, Cinemax, Starmovies, E! entertainment and almost all those friggin' channels you find on Astro! Crap! I love this hotel so much♥
MondayDidn't get to swim. :(
Just went down to breakfast.
Yesterday, cereal. Today, porridge! Owh yum I miss the buffet breakfast. Then we left for
Puncak. Long ride, and after a while it started to rain.
Looks like we didn't escape the rain after all ._.
*Aaahh. So much more to write! I shall continue tomorrow. Lol. Stay tuned!*
Oh btw, I've been doing the chores in the house everyday and its bloody
annoying when I get calls from my siblings and my mum calling me "MARIA! OH MARIA!"
wtf. Just wait till I feed your underwear to Cammi.
" tomorrow, if you know what I mean. :p
Teehee. We are teh lamerz.
I'm sure this is how people usually beat the eggs first, right?
Then I tried to sprinkle some of the cheese into the egg but the whole friggin' lump just plopped out of the container and into the egg D:
This is the end result. It tastes fine, really, I just need some practice on the texture and look of the omelet. TT____TT
Some choc-covered macadamia nut cookie..er..thingy. Lol
These were supposed to be choc-flavored, but my mum doesn't like choc so she substituted it with coffee instead. Bleagh.
My favourite, shortbread!!!
Oranges anyone? 
Honestly I was eager and reluctant to leave Kuching. Eager to leave the rain, reluctant to leave my phone, internet, friends and the comfort of my home. Yes, even if it was only for three days.
NOVOTEL
Damn, I love the room! My mum was exhausted so she slept almost immediately.
Greetings from Jakarta :D
Kon fits the bed snugly! Just like he did in Bali. :p
Good morning, Jakarta!
Kon slept well!
Damn, right? If its too dark for you to see, the water flows to the inside of the building, like, behind the glass. And I was told that they actually have music playing under the water!!! Shit!
Stairs leading down to the pool and the restaurant. See those chairs?
These are what they're for. You can actually bring your own DVD and play it in the DVD player and sit back and watch! RAWR!
The President's palace.
Very cool Da Vinci building.
Remember that pic I put on here before I left? The one that looks like Las Vegas? That's Plaza Indonesia. This is that.
The fountain in front of it.
