Jakarta Photos Part 2

I am back with part 2 of the photos!

Actually I wanted to post up a few photos of Molly (my guy's dog) and make it into a little story, but I am scared that blogger will hang on me again so that will be in my next post.

In the meantime, here are the remaining photos from my Indonesian trip.

JAKARTA (2 of 2)

Me & my cute cute "niece", Sherafina, or Fina as a pet name. (Please ignore my humongously HUGE arm.)

My guy's turn =)
BANDUNG
Me, my cousins Joel and Jesse, & their maid, who also happens to be a wonderful cook!

The mini waterfall & pond in the garden of the Bandung house.

Last but not least, here is a sneak preview of Molly!

Jakarta Photos Part 1

Finally managed to upload some of the photos that I took in Jakarta & Bandung but after uploading about 10 pictures, blogger seems to be protesting that it is doing too much work in too short a time, AGAIN, so I will have to continue with part 2 another day.
In the meantime, enjoy. =)

ON THE PLANE
When we were waiting for our turn to check in, the airport officers told us to head over to the business class counter where we were told that we were upgraded to the business class as the flight was overbooked, FOR FREE! I tell you...I was the happiest gal in the whole airport then . Too bad the flight was only 1.5hrs. Hee. *grinz*
Business Class Seat...Big and Comfy!
Look at how much space I had even after fully stretching out my legs!
Controls for the chair. It is fully automated and you can either choose 1 of the 3 pre-set options (sitting upright, half recline, or bed) or customise ur own chair angle using those 4 funny looking buttons. The chair can even give you a massage!
Our meal of the day. On the way back from Singapore, the economy class was served only a cold sandwich with a muffin. Here in the business class, we had a piping hot and delicious seafood noodle set and there was a table cloth spread over an extra large table. Shortly after meals, the waitress even came around to ask if anyone wanted extra buns.
And of cos, last but not least, here are 2 very happy people taking photos on board the plane. =)
JAKARTA (1 OF 2)
A typical Indonesian breakfast in Jakarta, Bak Mee, which is noodles with some cubed chicken, some char siew and vege.
Another common dish in Indonesia, Panpek (not too sure about the spelling). It's like fishcake, though not as chewy and you are supposed to dunk it into that brown sauce before eating. The yellow thingy in middle of the fishcake is egg yolk.

Mobile roadside stall outside my guy's house. I never dare to try this cos I dun wanna end up sitting in the toilet for the rest of the day. This particular stall is selling Nasi Goreng (Malay Fried Rice). The lady in beige is my "sister-in-law" and she is waiting for her dinner.

A very interesting thing to note in Indonesia...ALL the Honda Jazz have had the dot above the "J" stolen. According to the story from my guy, it was because some idiot spread a rumor that the dot was made from white gold and that sparked a crazy vandalism spree. Whatever it is, I am glad that is not my car.

Heehee...this is a photo of my guy when he was just a little baby. He look so fat, so cute and soooooo BLUR! Haha. =p

Ok, I will try to continue the rest of the pictures for the Jakarta trip by this week (still have a couple of photos that I took with my "niece" (my guy's brother's daughter), my cousins during my trip up to Bandung, and of course, Molly, the closest thing I had to a pet dog. Ta~Ta~...

C.A.N.N.O.T M.O.V.E

Came back from Bintan last Saturday and was it a total relaxing holiday or what! Did nothing for 3 glorious day except to laze by the pool or the beach, with the occasional activity like some beach volleyball, jet skiing (heaps fun!) and snorkelling...and of cos, not forgetting to pig out!!! Muhahahahha...
However, things are totally different now that I am back in Singapore man! Had Muay Thai on Sunday and my instructor nearly killed us! I did 100+ push ups, 60 v-sit ups (where you have to lift ur legs and do crunches at the SAME TIME), skipped for abt 10mins and that was on top of our regular punches and kicks. Then, I had to wake up at 6+am to head down to NIE to do some registration yesterday, had a wakeboarding camp from 11.30am to 7pm today (and my whole body is aching now!), have to go down to NIE again tomorrow morning for some talks, followed by the lawyer's office in the afternoon to settle our house stuff, and I have to head down to school on Thursday to clear my table for the new teacher to take over.
Speaking of a packed schedule! And school is starting next Monday too. Sighz...there goes my freedom and sleep-ins once again.

Back...& Getting Fat

Hello Everyone!!! I am back from the land of "I dun understand what the hell everyone is talking about" Jakarta. Heehee...
Did heaps of shopping the week I was there, and went up to Bandung for 3 days 2 nites to visit some relatives of mine...and to do more shopping of cos! =p
Was totally stuffed while I was there too...Thai food, Chinese food, Jap food, Korean food, Indonesian food...I have not eaten so much in such a short time for quite a while now.
And then, just as I was looking forward to going back to Muay Thai to start working off the excess pounds that I piled on, it was CANCELLED!!! Not only once, but twice!!! Got back on Saturday nite, and I received last minute smses from my instructor to say that BOTH Sunday & Tuesday class had to be cancelled...BOO! =( Then, I decided to go swimming today since there will be no MT and guess wat? IT STARTED RAINING!!! Wat The... *Grrrrrrr*
Anyway I have heaps of photos to post but stupid blogger is giving me problems again (like the Mongolia post) so I am gonna start a new post for the pictures instead. Enjoy!
P.S I will be going away again this Thurs with my bestie, 3days 2nights in Bintan Lagoon Resort for some R&R and I wanna try out their watersports! Woo Hoo! *Pray for Good Weather*

Guess Where I Am Right Now...

Hello Everyone!!!
I am now in the land of "I don't understand what the hell everyone is talking about" Jakarta.
Will be here for a week (starting yesterday actually) and I get this strange feeling that I am so gonna get fat here.
My guy's parents (yes, in case you don't already know, he is indonesian chinese) brought me to a thai restaurant last nite after picking us up from the airport, we went to a chinese restaurant for dim sum lunch this afternoon, and I just had a wonderful IndoMee dinner at one of those roadside stall. Yummy!
Think I better go crazy on muay thai when I am back in Singapore (Sunday, Tuesday, Friday, Sunday...That should take care of the fats!) But then again, I might be heading over to the land of a thousand smiles (Bangkok) next weekend with my bestest and oldest friend for some shopping...so...we shall see. =p
Having the time of my life now, and it all started with the flight over to Jakarta yesterday when we got upgraded to the BUSINESS CLASS for free! Muhahahahaha. Best flight ever. Now I am hooked. =p *evil grinz*
Ok...photos when I am back in Singapore cos now I am at my guy's brother's internet cafe (no net access at home) and I am dying from smoke too.
Alritey, ta ta and catch up when I am back!
Muacks!
