Jakarta Day 3 + Gg Home

080309

Bright sunny day...

Hotel Mulia

It's such a pity that I didn't get to do my tan/ swim this trip with such big pool!

I brought 2 sets of bathing suit...!

I opened my eyes just in time to rush down for fav. American breakfast!!!
Just think about Muesli with granola, pancakes w honey, scrambled eggs, sausages, fresh juices + many many more!

Gab's house & surrounding scenery...

Want to buy 4D?

@ Bakmi Krekot.
where they serve Mi karet...
Which means basically rubber band noodles...

Lunch is at one of the local shop.
Some terms to learn:
Pangsit Goreng = Fried wanton
Siomay = Siew Mai
* remember they don't eat pork, so all this stuff taste quite different...

@ Ancol
Indo. version of Sentosa....

Sea world, the underwater world; Indonesia style...

When was the last time you went to Underwater world in Sentosa?
I think mine was last June, 2 days after UATO grand finals...

When we planned out the trip's schedule, I predicted today will rain.
True enough, I was right...
So we didn't do the dry/ wet rides...
Just sit the car, tour around the area.
The whole theme park is HUGE!!!
U can't walk from one end to another.... It will take forever!
I was also told this beach is a very popular dating spot for the poorer Indos.

Another Nasi Uduk place!

Oh yeah, Mega had a little culture shock...
She was always staring at us when we took photos of food.

Gabriel wanted to bring us to some rich man area place for seafood after 2 hrs of spa/ massage.
I straight away rejected the idea.
1st Borg isn't a big fan of seafood, 2nd I was really craving for nasi uduk!
Hahhaa..
SO, here we are, at another famous place for the rice & chilli!!!
---

Mega had to go home after dinner cos' Daddy called & track her whereabouts.
So, we send her home then proceed for some singing session!

Ind. version of Kbox.
They name their KTV joints like Happy Puppy?
We were laughing at it tho...
I was actually quite sedated after the spa/ massage session but Gab was super keen about singing.
Let's not be a spoilsport okay?
Since he has been nice to plan our trip & bring us around for the last few days...
I finally got back hotel to wash up & pack at 4am.
By the time I crash it was near to 5am...!

Jakarta Aiport
Got up at 7am to have breakfast & do the last packing up...
Gab was afraid there might be jam on the roads, so we check out by 8.45am...
The good news was traffic was clear.
Bad news? We are 1.5hrs early to check in.
Have to rot around till boarding time.
Oh well, it's better to be early than to miss the flight =)


2hrs of sleep only is crazy.
I can barely open my eyes, not to mention I can't be bothered to slap on makeup.
HSBC has some good deal at the airport.
Cardholders can rest in their area with snacks & refreshments.
They also have TV for clients to watch while waiting to board.
We took out our lap top & watch a DVD instead.
Everything in Jakarta is in Berhasa anyways...

Changi Aiport!
We are finally home...!
It was raining so heavily that I can't see a single thing through the aircraft windows.

The official launch the the kitties @ Ngee Ann City is on the 13th.
I got my set on the 9th! Yeah...!!
I actually pre-ordered them at the terminal on the 6th,
hoping stock will arrive when I'm back.
True enough, I'm a lucky girl! =)
