Dear Eve,
Sunday, September 5, 2010 @ 6:31 PM

Hey guys im back.. Haha im finding it a little bit redundant to even write this or to even address you all as I don't think anyone still reads this blog, including her. Anywho, there is no where else and no one else to talk to about how i feel right now so i'm just going to let it go here..

Two nights ago when i was online, i felt under appreciated. You got upset, i tried comforting you, you pushed me away and got angry..

Last night, i texted you good night after not even hearing from you the whole day.. Suprisingly, you called back. You sound like you're not angry but i in fact knew you were at least upset about me. I didn't do anything, you say i always pick others and myself over you, if that was true i wouldnt even bother trying to make it home earlier everytime when i go out. Not even my mom or dad could get me to do that but i did it for you..

Ok guys, (here i go again adressing non existing people =/) im sure all of you are pretty confused but this is how it goes. 3 nights ago, i went out to chill out and catch up with a friend whom i have not met for a very long time. He moved to Thailand when we were in primary school. He was my best friend haha he used to come over and played counter strike with badminton rackets hahaha oh my god that was pretty stupid yet awesome.. Ok back to topic, i went out with him then i met another friend along with her friend. She just got divorced and was pretty devastated. So i took it that it was upon me to try to comfort her by showing her an awesome night out. Plus, she said "Uih bro, i wanna get wasted tonight.. and have a world class night". As all my close friends know, the minute anyone of them says something like that, i would do all i can to ensure maximum fun to liven up the event or to distract them away from pain because these are the only 2 occasions where people actually say it.

So I did make it a world class night for her and got pretty late but still quite early as compared to what ive usually been doing before Bbbyy was in the picture. The next day, she was pretty cool about it, until came night time when she just suddenly got pissy =/ i took it that it was her PMS but she keeps saying it isnt.. She gets chronic PMS-es and her actions show that she is upset with me but then when i say like " youre upset with me arent you?" she will be like "did i say that?" then get even more upset. Now, even if you dont say it, i might be dumb but i can understand that actions speak louder than words.

Ok back to the topic, last night when she called me back which took me by suprise, she was ok at first. Then i told her that i got to sleep. I'm sorry but ive been waiting online for you until 3 a.m. then i have to wake up at 6 because i have errands to run and the night before i didnt sleep until the sun was up thinking about you (yes i lied to you saying i was asleep, i just didnt want to talk to you because as much as it hurts me, i know you will get even more upset with me for some odd reason) and then i think i only had about 30 minutes of shut eye before being violently awaken by my parents to follow them to go see houses for the whole day cz they wanna move. So yeah by last night, i was pretty fucking tired thank you. Thus, i couldnt talk to you because i needed to sleep really really bad.

Well during that phone call, it was pretty ok i mean no one was raising their voices and all. Then i asked her, hey you're reaching back to KK on Tuesday late night right? We agreed before this that i was the one who was gonna pick her up, bring her for a nice supper at the sang nyuk mien i always wanted to take her to, then maybe go to the nice spot over Inanam where we had our first kiss. However, what she said next just took me back and I had nothing to say anymore, she just told me casually like" No, its ok my sister is picking me up".. Wth man.. You might have forgotten the promises we made even if it was a short time or long time back but I don't and i try my best to remember all of them as forgetful that I am.

So after she said that, i just felt so empty and disappointed i just needed to be away. So, all i could say was good night sweet dreams and that i loved her. I waited for her to say something in return but nope nothing came.. So yeah i just hung up and tried to sleep which didnt happen =/


This morning when i was violently awaken again, I really hate it when they do that like seriously hate it, i went to see her blog and saw a post by her saying shes done with me ignoring her, done with me hanging up on her when she wants to talk to me and about 50 other things she was done with me.. She even compared me with her ex in a bad way. When i did that last time, like accidently, she blew her top and argued with me for a few days.. But oh well.. i guess thats human nature, what others cant do to us, we do to them. Lastly, she said that she's done with everything.

This leaves me in a dilemma, the last time she said "im just sick and tired of everything" and hung up, i thought we broke up, so when people asked me that night "hey man how u and ur gf?" i said broken up.. cz what else can it be when someone says something like that right? Plus her facebook status went single which she later claimed she didnt put single and she just put as none but yeah ok, with those signs i mean i obviously thought we were broken up. So when she found out i told people we broke up she got angry pula.. so i really dont know la now if shes just saying shes done with everything or is she really done with everything..

She doesnt even know my side of the story yet, this morning im off to work to get money to fill up my car with petrol so that i can take her around when shes back.. and thats how i spent a few of my free days last week when i had tests almost everyday, i didnt really study cz i wanted to work to try get some cash for when she is back. But oh well, i never told her so i dont expect her to know that.. I even ironed my long sleeve shirt, the one she likes me wearing to go and pick her up from the airport like 5 days in advance =/ i guess now its crumpled back la but who cares la its nt like im gonna pick her up anymore also.. Whatever la.. seriously because this time, i think my spirit has given up.. I still love her but whats the point in loving her if she is suffering from it right? =/ Good bye guys until next time..

Trip To Kuching
@ 1:21 AM

So hey i finally have the time to write anything in my blog and i guess it's far too long over due hahaha people have been saying hey why never update your blog anymore? Well i'm sorry but i got alot of work/distractions heh heh heh so here I am writing and I have read all your comments and I shall use PARAGRAPHS from now on hahahahaha..

So it all started like this, I was out having dinner with Carmen, Lance and Aunty Carrie (Crys's Mum) while dinner, Carmen decided to call Crys to rekindle of whats left of me and her at that time and yes we broke up already by that time. In her conversation with Crys, she deviously plotted to bring me to Kuching to surprise Crys and maybe that slight spark could start a blazing fire once more. During that conversation, Crys told Carmen that I just wasn't there for her and was devastated by the fact that i couldn't get to go to KL. So she said if i went to Kuching then maybe that's fate showing her that we were meant to be or something like that because as most of you might know, my mom would go morbid and kill me if i went. But if i didn't go, then there will be nothing more to tell between us.

So that was my initial reason to go to Kuching but as the story unfolds, motives of the trip changed and you will find out that the outcome is deferred from what i thought it would be..

So before i left on the plane for Indonesia, yes i know its a very old story hahahaha its quite long and dragged on actually, so we were texting alot before i left since the first day that she went to KL i've been accompanying her so she wouldn't feel lonely or anything like that because it was a new environment and she could use someone to talk to before fully finding her ground and friends there. Plus ok, i'll admit it but i missed her alot. As days go by in our conversation, she was telling me if i went to KL, things would be much better for us and could even possibly be with me again and all, don't get me wrong guys thats part of my reason to go there, but i didn't get to go and all that hope went away. She found another guy capable of taking care of her she says but at that time she said she just liked him and unlikely to fall for him deeply. As i was waiting for my plane to Indonesia, she was with him at a pool gathering and she was texting but she suddenly stopped. Before then i had an idea that she would in fact indeed fall for him but i was more convinced now. As hurt as I am i just wanted her to be happy.

She promised to come online while i was in Indonesia so we could go online and find each other on MSN, but while i was there, i spent most of my days there, or whats left of my free days there in front of the computer... Waiting and waiting but she never came on.. I spent most of my money on Internet credit in Lampung because the hotel there didnt offer free internet. Until to the point i just had enough to get her family and her small souvenirs and even ran out of money for smokes =( And she finally came on once, but we only talked for 10 mins and she said she was busy.. the second time she came on, she told me he was there and we didnt talk much either. When she came on she didn't even say hi and i had to do it... I know, sensitive juga this Virgil hahahaha.

Anyways i came back to Malaysia and i was very hurt indeed.. Friends tried talking to me, saying that he was just a rebound and all but somehow i am a very good judge of character and i knew that she had fallen for him. Even her best friend was saying hmmm probably he is just a rebound and all but in the corner of my mind i knew it was what it truly is.. There was no more hope for me. Anyways, thanks Cyrus, Fong, Rachel, Darren, Sherwynna, Emily, Yvonne and Bunz you guys tried to comfort me and gave me advice and that means a whole lot to me.

So It was during that time that i decided to give up on her. Let her be happy, I've told her once, if anyone else can make you happier than me, just tell me and I wont bother you anymore and she agreed. But she never told me, and i guess she was scared to hurt my feelings but yeah i'm used to people hurting me by then so it wasn't any biggie actually. So i decided to go to Kuching to ask her that question and if she said that she is happier with him, I wanted to say like the last good bye and never find her again, Its for her own good and my own good as well.. As you might have read in my previous posts, this was what my dream was about.

So the days counted down as to the day of the trip and i was starting to have doubts, maybe i should just don't go and just never find her again. Like let me just deal with it myself because i might not be able to take it if i see her. But in the very last few days i decided to go because i liked someone, and i wanted to clear things off quickly and clean though pain but i did it so i could be ready for a new relationship. I know this sounds very illogical and stupid but since when has love been logical, rational or smart? Another problem avoiding me from going was my parents.. I told them I wanted to go to Kuching a few days before the trip and they forbid me.

On the day of the trip, The flight was at 4.50pm i think, in the morning i had a long talk with my dad telling him on why i had to do this and i insisted this was the only way. He sort of understood or at least he tried hard to. My mum on the other hand was shouting at me all the way when i was packing my things and i just didn't care for once. Like she ruined my chance to go to KL i'm not gonna let anyone or anything stop me this time. Some things people just have to do on their own though stupid but its for their welfare. So i rushed to the airport and was almost late. I when i arrived, the counter was closed and i couldnt check in my bag, luckily it was small enough to be hand carried in. Carmen has been calling my phone non stop and even she thought i chickened out and not gonna go but hey i made it on time.. hahahahaha soon after i checked in, it was time to board the plane. Perfect timing asshole i thought to myself hahahaha.

So i sat next to Lance in the plane and we talked and i always treated him like a little brother of mine and we were playing and talking and we didnt even realise we were already at Kuching hahahaha. When we got there, there was only one thought in my head, Oh shit Virgil what have you done? You're here and you're so screwed =S .... We waited for Crys because she was on a flight from KL and there she came. Me, Carmen and Lance was waiting at the bottom of the escalator where she would appear. My heart sank the moment i saw her and i felt like running away but too late she already saw me.. So i just stood there like a stone that it was even so hard for me to say hi to her. Hahahaha i literally froze and then she hugged all of us and i felt the blood back in my body and PHEW hahahaha i dont know precisely what was going through my head but it was too many emotions all mixed up together to form anxiety and confusion hahahaha.

So the first day, we all just mingled with the family and it felt so odd and awkward for me but Aunty Hester made me feel more comfortable in talking with the rest. That was the moment where the thought, "Oh shit Virgil what have you done? You're here and you're so screwed =S" raced through my head over and over again and i was soooooooo hancurrr hahahahaa.. I was sleeping in the living room with lance and I was doing some work and only managed to talk to Crys a little bit for that day I was just feeling so awkward..

That night I had a dream, i forgot what it was but I woke up in the morning saying to myself with full determination " eh fucker, you're here already, just go for it.. Nothing to lose now.. Too late to turn back you shit head " And so that day i braved myself to talk to everyone more... tried to make the best of everything.. and yes i think i did pretty well mixing with them heh heh heh.. that afternoon while everyone was busy getting ready for her dad's birthday party and dressing up, i had a chance to talk to her alone.. so i talked about my feelings like asking whether he makes her happier than me and all and she finally said yes i knew i had it coming but still it stabbed me right in the heart pretty deep.. I wanted to tell her my intentions of coming in Kuching but somehow my balls just rolled away into some corner.. Hahahahaha so we went to the dinner and i said to myself " Damn you asshole just tell her la you bitch" so i decided if i get another chance with her alone, i'll tell her straight.. Oh and we sang a song together hahahaha Hero by Enrique

The chance came sooner than i thought, as the night progressed, crys's mom and dad went for an after party and no one was in the house except us, her grand parents, the maid, Lance and Carmen. So after Lance and Carmen went to sleep, i had a talk with Crys and she got pissed at me when i told her that I didn't wanna see her again and all.. And as usual she gets pissed and i'm the one ending up apologizing... Some things never change eh? hahahaah so in the end we agreed to be friends and we had a nice chat after that.. Just as if we were just friends all these times.. and it was good..

The next day we spent it going around shopping and eating together and we had fun laughed alot hahahaha it was good.. Nothing much to state about the third day except that it was her cousin's marriage and we all went together and after that we went to her aunt's house.. We went to play games with little Stephan, Lance, Carmen & little Nicole.. Hahahah i remember having a glass of wine, and Carmen and Crys were forbidden to drink hahahahahaha so in the room i saw Carmen eye-ing my glass of wine so i offered her hahaha ok this is how the conversation went :

Virgil : Aiya if you want it so much i give you 1 sip la i wont tell your parents..
Carmen : Eeeeee i dun wan laaaaa~~~
Virgil : Oh Ok then its up to you Hahahahaha It's your losss
Carmen : Cheh... * Snobby Face *
Virgil : Hahahaha You sure or not?
Carmen : Ok la I take 1 sip only la * Takes one sip*
Virgil : See that wasn't so bad..
Carmen : Cheh
Virgil : Wah no thank you also ah?
Carmen : Cheh.. fine thank you thank you hehehe
Virgil : =.= you're welcomed

**Wow i think thats like the first time i actually typed that emoticon lol**

*Virgil playing with Lance and Carmen was doing God knows what*

* Suddenly Carmen jumps on the bed where Virgil, Lance and Stephan was seated*

Virgil : Uih gila also you
Carmen : Hehehehe hows vishall oh..
Virgil : He's fine i guess.. * while ngam ngam was texting vishall*
Carmen : uihh let me see what you text with him ehhhhhhhh
Virgil : Ok ok hold your horses woman!

*So she read all the messages and this charade went on for about 30 minutes then she suddenly got hyperactive and started bouncing on the bed*

Virgil : Uih why you this? mabuk kah? Only one sip...
Carmen : Heheheeheheheh

Virgil : * Looks at the empty wine glass.... * @@ Uih u gila kah you carmen ppl havent even drink and only give you one sip you go kasi habis! I offered you a snack man not the whole kitchen! hahahahahahahahahahaha
Carmen : Hehehehehehehe

* For the remainder of the conversation almost all she said was, uih ask vishall bla bla bla, hehehehe and cheh.. *





Ok hahahahaha so the next day it was time to go back... Crys and her family's flight was at like 3 in the afternoon mine was at 10 plus night... @@ hahahahaha so i saw them off and waited at the airport... Luckily Emily kept me company on the phone hahahaha we texted each other and ngam ngam was like the harvest moon festival so we went to see it.. and i got back to KK at about midnight... Stupid Silas pick me up, i went in the car and it wreaked of alcohol hahahahahaha.. anyways that was my trip to Kuching.. Since then nothing much has happened with my life except drinking and more drinking.. hahahaha I'll write more about it on my next post.. Till then, take care.. hahahaha Phew took me like 2 hours to write this hahahaha

Business Trip To Sandakan
Thursday, September 18, 2008 @ 5:42 PM

Hahahaa so I'm back! It's been about 2 weeks since i returned from Sandakan and it's kinda late to post an entry about it cz it might seem like some cerita bangas by now but hey better late than never eh? hahaha so yes i got back from Indonesia and the very next day I was on my way to Sandakan! Me & my dad drove there along with Vedablu's head chef of the pastry dept. (Nani) and financial controller (Christina). We left at about 8 in the morning and reached there at about 1.30. It's our first time driving there so yeah it was pretty slow hahaha.. We joined Silas ( my eldest brother ) there who has been there several days ahead of us to ensure the finishing of the shop there goes smoothly but the contractors sucked.. they finished 3 days late and that means 3 days less for us to train the new staff there. The opening was on the 31st of Aug. and we only arrived on the 29th. I did manage to introduce myself to the new staff and squeeze in slight training on that day itself. The next day, our 2 best personnel from KK arrived ( Arlin & Siti ) whom happens to be my cousins hahaha but anyways they arrived and we didn't have sufficient time to completely train the staff on everything so we divided them into sections. Beverage, Desserts, Service, Floor and Cash Registering. So i was in charge of Service/Scooping as imposed by Boss Silas. So i thought them basic product knowledge and customer relation skills. I would have to commend the staff in Vedablu Sandakan for their attentiveness and willingness to learn. When they get scolded, they take it contructively and not merajuk in some corner or something. Hahahaha they learn pretty fast and work very hard and i respect them for that =) so the 31st came and it was a grand event. the licensee (Mr. Lo and Miss Sally) called on 10 lion dancers for the occasion and invited close to 300 people. Tents were constructed outside, chinese lion dance music filled the atmosphere, the weather was hot as hell so my prediction for the day was right, we were gonna break our backs today serving all these people =S so it happened.. The minute we opened the doors, people just came gushing in non stop and the whole day we were busy scooping... The display freezer doors were always opened because they just wouldn't stop ordering. Thus, the ice cream started to melt so i instructed them to replace them with new ones from the chest freezer. It was just so hectic, I was only in charge of the Service section but in the end i had to split my attention on all the sections making sure orders were delivered to the right places, making sure the ice creams in the freezers are fine, the cakes are properly displayed, the beverages section recived their orders and desserts and kitchen orders it was as if God cut me into five pieces and yeah you can imagine the rest hahahaha. This started from 10 am to 11 pm. those were the most tiring but fun 13 hours of my life. Hahahaha at about 5 less people came in Tnd at about 6.30 there was finally actually no one standing at the display freezer asking for a order and just whan i thought we had a stop of customers and could sit for awhile, I WAS WRONG AGAIN..... suddenly 10 people came in at once and the whole shennanigans started all over again @@ But in the end we were all happy. The sales reached Vedablu's record high and everyone was satisfied hahaha even the fatigue felt as if it went away. I guess its safe to say its hard work payed off =) The very next day I had to drive back to KK, since all of our best staff and directors were busy, it was up to me and my dad to look after the shops here and thats what I have been doing up until now hahaha which is causing me much of my time. Currently I'm in the office again waiting for my dad hahaha.. Ok enough about the business side, now i'll tell all of you on the personal side of Sandakan. Hahahaha well ntg much happened but yeah I met up with an old friend of mine, Melanie on the first night, she brought me to this place and i forgot the name =S hahaha so yeah we all played drinking games. There were like 7 guys and 2 girls. We played this game called King. Everyone is given a card and whoever gets the King can order 2 numbers to do something. E.g. : I have the King and i ask number 4 and 8 to make out or love bite each other or any shit and they have to do it. If they fail or refuse to do it then they have to down one glass each. Hahahaha so yeah you get the picture, 7 guys 2 girls, the chances of a guy kissing a guy is pretty high hahahahaha so at first we all just drank and drank because which guy in the right mind would kiss another dude?! hahaha so after jugs and jugs and jugs i dont know how many but it seems like the whole table got tipsy and finally.... 2 guys kissed each other @@ i freaked out man hahahahahaha it was so funny yet awkward and disgusting at the same time hahahahaha they were supposed to make out for 5 seconds but they only kissed for like 2 seconds but hey the impact was there man... i think if they did five seconds, i would have DIED...... Hahahahahah so on the night before the opening i met up with Melanie and had a drink and we talked alot about the past and all and it was good hearing from her again.. I could always relate to her and all =) then on the night of the 31st we went out again... I was so so tired but yeah just wanted to meet her again before i went back cz its been a long long time since i saw her and probably a long long time until i'll see her again hahaha.. I'm glad i met many new friends there and they seem like really cool people especially Ka Chong hahahahahaah he's the funniest man... hahahaha and i know this might seem emo or what but i was having my dinner by the roadside on the 31st because there were no tables available for me to eat in the shop cz it was all occupied by customers... so yeah there i was by the roadside and there was a stray dog... it kept looking at me eating... i figured it was hungry so i put a piece of chicken on the floor... the dog came near but then pulled back away... i guess it was scared that i would harm it or something.. so i tried putting more food for him on the floor and he came closer again but then ran away again.. i felt so sorry for him... I know how it feels like to want something, to need something but you just can't do it or try to even get it because you are afraid of the risks. It just continued staring at me the whole time i was eating my dinner... so i decided to put more food on the ground and go behind the pillar and hide for him to eat it. and so he did but the minute he saw me looking at him from behind the pillar, he ran away... it was so sad because after that he just kept looking at me from the distance.. i just left the remainder of my food there because i know he needed it more than me and i went back into the shop... 20 minutes later i came out to check on the food and it was all finished. i felt glad because he finally had the courage to eat the food and got what he wanted whereas i didn't have the courage to go for what i really needed last time =( it's all metaforical hahaha dont take it literally.... At least the dog was smarter and braver than me.. so yeah hahahaha i don't really know how to describe that event and put it in right words but i hope you guys get the message i'm trying to deliver here.. hahahaha so yeah thats it for this post, the next post i will cover on my trip to Kuching and this time it has nothing to do with business at all! ah finally! Hahahahaha take care guys.. thanks for reading =)

Business Trip Part 2 : Lampung
Thursday, September 4, 2008 @ 5:34 PM

Hey people sorry for the very very late reply... I have been very very busy and there are so so many things i wanna say in my blog at that time but now I've pretty much forgotten them... Hahahaha well anyways when i got to Lampung the atmosphere was totally different then Jakarta... Its was less hectic here but still the traffic jams were bad.. So we didnt really eat out much mainly in the hotel as we stayed in a hotel named Indra Puri which is on top of a hill and is pretty much isolated and far from everything else... Too far to walk at least... Hahaha we arrived on a saturday... didn't really do much... Sunday, me and my dad went to church and had a meeting after that... Well plainly for the remaining days its just the routine, Eat, Watch TV, Swim, Meeting, Sleep... Hahahaha but on the 27th, which was the second last day we went to the feedlot and payed the staff their severance pay and well i didn't know this but apparently in indonesia, you can negotiate how much severance pay you getting hahahahah but it cant be below a set legal amount =P Seriously... In malaysia, we get payed our retrenchment/ severance money and we are happy there they want more and more... We had a government official guiding us through it and he thought us how to negotiate with the staff... pretty nice fellow.... so yeah it took us 6 hours to negotiate with the staff and we finally chose and amount that both sides could agree on... hahaha by then i was soooo exhausted.... and just when i thought we could all go back to our respective hotels and have a nice long rest... I WAS WRONG.... we had to stay on and have a meeting to discuss the financial break outs among the shareholders and all... which took another 3 hours which included the final account statement on the staff severance pay... Damn i said... hahahaha we reached the hotel at about a little over 2 in the morning which is 3 Malaysian time.. the very next day we had a morning flight back to KK... and my dad was still signing documents and cheques when we reached the airport and to our very fortunate luck, our flight was delayed so yeah we had more time to review the cheques and documents... hahaha this is the first time i heard my dad said he feels happy our flight got delayed... when we were checking in at the Jakarta airport to fly back to KK, I saw a girl who looked exa ctly like her... i mean the skinny jeans, curly hair, jacket and heels... from behind i really thought it was her... But just as fast as that excitement and thought came in my mind, my logic and rational kicked in... i asked myself what the hell would she be doing in jakarta? so yeah it all went away as soon as it came hahahaha.... but i just couldn't help staring and she must have thought i was a freak for staring at her hahahahahah but yeah i would never see her again in my life so i didn't care hahahaha... i wanted to say hi but typical me, i was shy =S so yeah while waiting to board the plane, she was waiting for the flight to bangkok section and i was in the flight to kk section... we were divided by a glass window and i kept looking at her wishing... and she looked back too several times... i know i know emo virgil with his emo thoughts... hahahaha... so yeah while she was lining up to board the plane i said to myself, if she looks i am gonna at least wave or smile or sumthing... and when the time came she looked at me for about 5 seconds... standing right opposite me... I FROZE... just when i wanted to force a smile out, she turned away and walked... i think she smiled at me but i'm not sure... hahahaha but yeah i guess thats the last i'll ever be seeing her hahahahaha.... I kept having the same dream since i reached Lampung and i still have that dream every single night until now... weird i know hahahaha... ok this is how it goes... The dream starts off with me being in the hospital... i was in a critical condition... either i was sick or i had an accident i dont know but all i know that it was CRITICAL... hahahahaha i was lying on my side then a girl came and hug me from behind... it felt so good and comforting... so i try hugging her back but the harder i try the further this person goes away.... weird eh? hahaha and then on the hospital TV, there was this Barack Obama biography me and my dad were watching and it always said this one line from the biography, " You must close an old chapter before you can begin a new one"... I've been thinking what that chapter was and now i think i have a rough idea... hmmm... back to the dream hahahaha i always wake up after that feeling my left hand numb because my right hand would be squeezing it so hard as if i was trying to hug somebody... then everytime after that when i go back to sleep, i dream i became someone rich and powerful... a politician so i guess thats the upside to my dream... hahahaha... so yeah there you have it... my business trip to Indonesia & back.... I will post later on on my business trip to Sandakan soon... I'm actually on standby now waiting for my dad to be done with something then we going out again to another meeting... So yeah take care you all =)

Indonesian Business Trip, First Half, Jakarta
Saturday, August 23, 2008 @ 1:03 AM

Hey there everyone… As some of you might already know, I’m currently in Indonesia on business purposes with my dearest father… Yes as for the agenda of the business I’m afraid that’s private and confidential ;)... As originally planned, we were supposed to be staying at The Acacia Hotel, Jakarta for only 3 nights and continue our business in Lampung for the remaining duration of the business trip which is until the 26th, but due to regrettable unforeseen circumstances, we extended our stay by two nights... Currently I’m in the airport lounge waiting for my flight which was yet again, DELAYED… They have internet services here but it is pretty poor so I am actually writing this entry through Microsoft Words first :S… Hahahaha ok back to the main topic, we arrived here in Jakarta at about 2 in the morning (which is about 3 a.m. Malaysia time) then we headed to the hotel… The very first thing I saw when I exited the airport was the early morning mist or was it smog, I wasn’t sure but yes it looked pretty gloomy.. While on the road I was pretty amazed with the infrastructure.. Jakarta beats KK’s ass 20 times with their fly overs and all... Hahaha and another intricate thing I found out about the Indonesian driving habit is they love to drive in the middle of the empty road! The road lanes were built wide but still they prefer to drive directly in the middle… Hahaha… Well when I woke up, we had a meeting scheduled in the morning so didn’t get much sleep there... =( Lucky for us, all the meetings were stationed and carried on in the hotel lobby.. So we avoided the hectic and chaotic traffic that we could clearly see directly in front of the hotel… That night, we went to a nearby Nasi Padang Restaurant (Almost like Nasi Campur) we had 2 meat dishes and 3 vegetable dishes and to my amazement it costs 94 thousand Rupees =S that’s pretty expensive for Nasi Campur I Should Say… The Conversion rate is about RM 1 = 2700 Rupees... The first 2 days were pretty dull, just with meetings and all… stayed in the hotel room mostly… and we ate mostly in the hotel too… was kinda lazy to go out.. Hahaha... I went swimming on the fourth day and the water was freezing! I made friends with someone who was a guest at the hotel too by the pool and when people say we Sabahan’s speak like Indonesians, THEY WERE DAMN WRONG! I didn’t understand much of what she said to me until I told her to slow down and talk slowly hahahahahaha… I just took the bits and pieces from what I understood from her sentence and string them together hahahaha… Yes well hahaha we agreed to meet again in the hotel lounge that night and my main intention was to watch Football on the big ass TV there actually... Hahahaha HONEST guys! So yeah she came with her friends and they had a drink and joined me while I was watching my football game hahahaha… We exchanged emails and such so yeah I’m glad I made a friend there and I’m glad the lady at the hotel drug store helped me out with my Bahasa Indon, if not I wouldn’t have understood much of what Karyn (the girl from the pool) said.. Hahahahaa Thanks Augustina ;) (The drug store lady) Hahahaha... So last night I went with my dad to a place he remembers from his previous trips to Jakarta, Tony Roma’s… And damn the BBQ pork ribs there was… WOW! Hahahaha we tried the most popular Indonesian beer called Bintang and I would have to say it’s not bad hahaha... It’s a Pilsner so the malt and hops smell was pretty strong… And yes during dinner my dad told me about how he met my mum and we talked about a lot of things… Its great! I mean I rarely talk to anyone, let alone my family about things like these hahahaha… So yeah my dad never told anyone his past stories and all too so I’m glad he told me… Hahahaha… One thing I would like to emphasize about the Indonesia driving culture is they are very very precise… SERIOUSLY…. Fking scary man the way they drive (Even more fkin scarier than Ritchie’s driving!!) but they are always careful and patient too… They rarely use the signal lights but they do use their honk a lot hahahahahaha… and they actually yield and give way to on coming traffic… every 2 seconds you can hear several honking but not those angry types of honks just simple taps to let people know you are cutting in and all… I swear I can’t ever drive there and the motorbikes there are scary! When the traffic light turns green, a whole swarm of them will zoom by… At least 40 bikes…. You feel enshrouded and scared the taxi driver will accidentally hit one of them but no hahaha it never happens and through all the days I have been on the road here, I have not seen even 1 accident occur! Though their number of total cars here I dare say is 80 times higher than in KK, but you never see an accident here whereas in KK, everyday you are bound to at least see one hahahahaha… So yes, compliments to their driving attitude and skills! On the sides of the road, there are at least 50 mobile stalls selling goods ranging from food, drinks, beer, toothpaste and toiletries, but 95% of the stalls sold cigarettes (known as kretek here) hahaha... Smoking is like integrated with their culture and lifestyle here... From my knowledge, Indonesian "Kreteks" are made signature by the special blend of tabaccos they use and the addition of clove spices. It makes it sweet and aromatic.. Hahaha so thumbs up to that innovative idea! The food here is mainly hot and somewhat similar to the Baba Nyonya cooking... But I am yet to try the food in Lampung! So here is my post for my stay in Jakarta, the first half of my business trip in Indonesia… =)
