V-Day Update

I know it has been eons since I last posted but work had been playing catch-up with me the past 3 weeks and it was only recently that I mananged to gain a lead over it.

CNY was great with the usual "gather, eat, drink, gamble, repeat process" thingy and I didn't take as many photos as I did last year.

Latest update in my life is that I started my practicum last Monday, and so far everything is going great. Both my CTs are very nice and friendly people too though I think one of them has pretty high expectations as I got to work harder.

Ok I better head to bed now so here are some photos that were taken when I headed over to Batam with my guy for an early valentine's day celebration on 10 Feb 2006.

Hopefully the rest of the photos for CNY, etc will be up shortly. =p

Enjoy!

Some random shot while waiting for our ferry at the Harbourfront ferry terminal

On the ferry to batam. I was trying to act cute so my guy rolled his eyes at me. SO RUDE!

Yummy chicken and ROOT BEER FLOAT from A&W! *SLURP*

I *heart* A&W!

Photocopying shop at Batam Ferry Terminal

You see the picture above?

This is a small, runshop corner of the batam ferry terminal which had been transformed into a photocopying shop.

The people there are damn lazy lah!

You see the guy behind the counter? He wasn't in the shop when he first arrived but there was another guy sitting there so we asked if he could do the photocopying for us. He flatly refused, saying that it is not his job and we have to wait for the other guy to come back.

I was totally pissed off lah! Seriously, WTF? His job is just to sit there to tell people to wait for the guy to come back when he is not around? Whats more is that they charged us 5000 Rupiah just to photocopy like 2 pages. That is like almost ONE FREAKING DOLLAR.

When we first arrived, my guy was also FORCED to pay this guy 1000 Rupiah when the guy insisted on filling out a very short n simple form for him.

These are the things that totally puts me off Indonesia man. -_-"
