Mt Kinabalu Trip..

This trip was planned since 6 months ago. Due to the popularity of Mt Kinabalu, we have to book our trip early as the resort will be fully occupy just minutes after the booking being release.

We planned for 16 person but only 14 of us turn up at the trip. We took flight as early as 6.50am on 24/april/2008 departing from KL to KK. The flight arrive at KK at 9.20am then we rented 3 Proton Wira for this trip.

After having our Brunch at Damai, we headed to warisan square some last minute shopping. Soon after we finish up our shopping, we head directly towards our first destination, BCCM camp which is situated near Mt. Kinabalu Park. After check-in and change we went to Hot Spring Poring to enjoy the waterfall and canopy walk there. Soon after we were done there, we headed back to our hostel where my Mum has already prepare the dinner for all of us. It was a tiring day as we went to airport early in the morning and has to travel here and there, so end up after taking dinner, we all slept early as a preparation for tomorrow's journey to the top of the mountain.

25/Apr/2008, Today we will start the climb. All of us wake up as early as 0530 hours to make some last minute preparation.

We were looking at the Mt.Kinabalu and some of them says "HuH? So Short only ah.. " :P Myself standing on a platform at BCCM camp with Mt. Kinabalu behind me.
All pack up and ready to go. We took a group photo befor we leave our hostel. This is the view of the mountain from the Mt Kinabalu Park. Its much nearer compare to BCCM camp. Soon after we settle all the registeration and check-in for the night, we started our journey.

At the begining of the journey, everyone seems energetic and has a very strong will to reach the peak. The first part of the hiking was as long as 6km using Timpohon route. We started at 0910 Hours. Lum was the fastest to reach Laban Rata, he reach there at 1215 hours followed by Yew at 1245 hours. Followed by Graven, Siew Ming , Me, Eng Keat and Loon at 1335 hours. Others reach at 1445 hours and latest by 1645 hours.
Its raining when we reach Laban Rata (at 3233M above sea level). Notice from the picture there is water flowing down from the top of the mountain.
We rested for the night and prepare our 2nd stage journey at 0230 hours the next day. The temperature at 3233M ASL is only 7 degree. We were all fully armed with hand gloves, masks, jackets and pants.

Here are some of the funny senario's made by my funny friends. Terrorist act!

We manage to pass the 2nd check point at 4062M ASL and headed towards the peak. But the weather turn worse, Heavy rain and strong wind causes the temperature to drop below freezing point. our pants, clothes and gloves were very wet due to the rain and mist leaving us freezing cold. Though the weather was that bad, I insist of heading towards the peak. Till apoint where i felt that my life could be in danger in i continue this journey as my body temperature was droping drastically already. The Mountain guide suggested us to return as it would be dangerous. Finally we gave up at around 4080M ASL (I think), and we started our return trip to Laban Rata. We were so close to the top yet so far. The peak is 4095M ASL but due to the bad weather is very hard for us to reach. Any how, its a very nice experince as we know how difficult it would be in such a situation.

I wasn't able to capture any picture there as it was raining.

Here are some of the beautiful scenery ....
Although we didn't manage to reach the peak, but we had a great time. We will come back for revenge in the future! Next time we will be even better equip!

Mt. Kinabalu .. here I come again ..

Since I'm a Sabahan, reaching the peak of Mt Kinabalu has to be a must for our own pride :P. I first went up to the peak was 8 years ago. 2nd April 2000. That time I was only 18! lolz. Now Im going 26, again I'm going to challenge myself against the mountain. The journey this time will be together with another 14 friends. Its a journey that test both physically and mentally. I have to be physically fit to be able to reach the top yet i have to be mentally strong as well.

This trip has been planned since Nov last year. Its seems like just a blink and now that tomorrow we will be heading for this journey. The whole trip will be 4D/3N . We will be visiting the Hot spring as well.

I hope i'm fit enough to reach the peak again.. not hope , its a must! :) After this i have to prepare for another round as i promise my fren to bring her next time :)

Living my old company ...

Before I've actually resign from my previous company, many people advice me to stay back to the old company because they offer me better allowance when overseas and most likely its a larger company which is more stable compare to the new company that I just join. Well, I know myself well enough, maybe I'm still young, I love to explore.. I want more challange! I know I'm that kind of person who learn very fast when I'm on Challange mode.

Finally, everything is over with my old company. At first I'm kind of worried that i would regret living the old company, but i end up kind of like the new company that I'm currently in. Thanks to all the intensive work loads from my previous company, now with the 2 years experince I'm able to catch up with the work here easily. In just mearly 3 days I'm here, I've already been assign to a task. I hope there is more challange to come so that i could learn faster. I wish that i could make big money with a promising carrier before I'm 30 !!! so that our dream (me n my brother) to start our retirement by age of 40's :P will come true! haha. Well, thats just kind of AIM which i dont think I would do. Cause if I retired 40 , I will be bored to death!

After I left my old company, I heard all sorts of troubles storming my old company. There are imigresen Issues, delay on Increment, no backdate for the increment (unconfirm). Problems seem to be stacking up all the way. I really hope they could solve the imigresen issue as I worry Some of my friends would be in trouble when they are going in or leaving Jakarta. My excolleague use to says that I leave the company in a very Good time! lolz... Anyhow, all the best to you all!!

After a week in Malaysia

Life was back to normal the day i step back onto Malaysia's soil. But lot of things has to be adjust back. I use to have to wake up on time and catch my daily company van for a trip to the office but now I have to drive myself to office which i would happily like to do so. Lunch time is still the same but I hangout with different colleagues. Dinner time is a bit different for me here in Malaysia. Back then in Jakarta, I've lots of colleagues staying together, where by I can dinner with them anytime. Here in Malaysia, I stay alone in a Town house own by my aunt at Sunway Damansara. It might be bored having dinner alone sometimes but then Its kind of relaxing when u juz wanna get away from the crowd sometimes. When I'm bored of having dinner alone, I will call out my frens and we would have dinner together at where ever I want.

I guess I'm so use to spending in Jakarta. Back to Malaysia if a single lunch cost RM10, I would have say, it is not that expensive at all !!! But then my colleague will start to curse me... LoLz.. Back in Jakarta, cheapest food during lunch would be at WI, which cost roughly RM3 ~ RM4, and for dinner would roughly cost RM10 or better one would be RM20. Here a dinner which cost over RM5 would already been expensive. Haha. I guess i would have to readjust to spend less here in Malaysia.

Lately it has been raining most of the time during the evening. Its actually kind of nice to have a cold weather for a relaxing weekend. But then it spoilt my mood today as i was thinking of going to have a jogging session today. Anyhow, just before it rains, I manage to have a round trip at my housing area which i was planing to do 3 today .. LoLz... hmm.. I wonder when my fren can get me the access to California Fitness so i can join them for Yoga, boxing and of coz swimming :)
Sadly, the weekend is almost over and tomorrow is gonna be another blue monday. Well i guess this is what we call Life. Anyhow I'll get use to it :). Glad that I'm finally back to my motherland.

New Life @ New Job

1st April, today is my first day to start my new job in my new company. I have been longing for working back here in KL for sometime. This morning, i woke up at 8 am then i only start to travel to my working place at 8.30 am. Its not like when I'm in Jakarta. Here i can drive my own car, listen to whatever music i want, drive which ever route i want!

As I reach office, my new colleague and I decides to trick my new boss. We sms him says we want to resign. LoLz. He indeed believe what we says at first because he was still sleeping when we SMS him hence he is still very Blur!! but later on he notice it is April Fool! :P

Anyhow, new job seems to be good to me. Every source seems familiar as the core banking is from my previous company. The only different is that the way we do things and the tools we use. I really hope i can do well here. :)

Regain my Freedom...

18/June/07, the day i touchdown at Jakarta airport for Bank Bumiputra project. That day onwards, my total freedom were reduce to mearly sports and "Wu liao"-ing with my frens in TA appartment here in Jakarta.

27/Mar/08, the last day that i finally left Jakarta heading back to Malaysia. It has been a 6 week stay for me. The moment i step onto Malaysia soil, I have this feel of very much relief... Its kind of like , I'm finally home..

When I'm still working for SL previously, everytime i come back to Malaysia, I'll spend all my time hangout with my frens. This time I've choose to stay home and clean my house a bit as I know i have lots of chances to hang out with my frens :).

Life is so relaxing here in Malaysia. I can go out with my frens and yumcha anytime I wan :).. I finally regain my Freedom...

Last moment in Jakarta

The moment has finally here. 6 weeks ago, I send out my resignation through email. I was suppose to stay for 5 weeks but due to project urgency, my return to Malaysia was extended till 6 weeks of stay.

2 weeks ago, I started to feel "不捨得" . ...
12/3/08 , I had my first farewell dinner with Data warehouse team + DD team, had our dinner at D'Jakarta. The dinner was a double farewell for Ernest (DD) as well. He is leaving on that week, so Im not the main person that day.
16/3/08 , I told them I would like to try Sushi Tei before I leave Jakarta. Siew Ming and Sook Wai insisted that they want to treat me Sushi Tei, end up another farewell lunch for me.
20/3/08 , Its a holiday today, Its gonna be another farewell dinner for me at Tony Romas. LoLz.

Yestarday, many frens start to question me about my feeling as I'm leaving Jakarta. Honestly, i very 不捨得 someone :) . But there is also another feeling building up within me, thats the feeling of boredness.. The Boredness of never-ending farewell. First farewell was on 12/3/08, today is already 27/3/08 yet I'm still here in Jakarta!! haha.

On this final hours, I spend most of the time wishing everyone luck and thank them for everything. I really worried i would have wept infront of them. If i did that Sook Wai would be the first person to laugh loudly! haha.

The last photo i took with BDS team. And of coz ah lek was there too :)

Lunch today was lonely, last few days i had my lunch with them happily but today i was alone taking my lunch in Hoka2 Bento. As Usual After check in, I had a drink in Starbucks cafe. Today was a bit different for me as it was the last time i would be sitting here in Jakarta airport starbucks. Today I order a drink that i normally do not order, not because it was my last day but because they ran out of Green tea!!! Got myself a Choc chip ice blended instead. :) Taste good too, but a bit too sweet...

I've been coming in and out of Jakarta for 13 times, and this is the view from starbuck cafe. One of the image that i hope to capture before i leave Jakarta.

The moment i actually step into Jakarta project 9 months ago, I told my team member, normally when our team's people step into Jakarta, we can only get out of Jakarta when we resign. I guess that really happens to me now.

Anyhow, I wish all my frens there.. Good Luck in everything, Stay Safe in Jakarta! Thanks for everything! Sorry if i offended anyone! and finally , nice knowing you all !!!

Last few days in Jakarta

I remember i first step into Jakarta was on 25 Sept 2006. Maybank Jakarta was my 2nd project for my company and my first in Jakarta. Before i agree to step in to Jakarta, my senior promised me that he would bring me back to KL after 3 months, and he kept his promise.

18 June 2007, I agree to another senior that i would lend a helping hand to him as Bank Bumiputera in Jakarta were to start development using SQL2005. To me, this is a whole new oppurtunity for me to strenghten my programming especially in SQL and widen my knowledge through Microsoft SQL2005.

Early January this year, I was approach by a headhunter from another company. He offered me a very well paid salary compare to my current company. I rejected his offer at first because I didn't want to leave my undone job to others. After a few talks and negotiation, i've figure out that there is a brighter future in the new company. By then, I've decided to leave, but my decision was to leave only after my current project went live. I told this to one of my good friend in my current project. She advice me that if I'm to leave my current company, I should leave earlier as my senior can seek for someone to replace my current position. After 1 months ++ analysing the situation, I've decide that i have to move on.

My decision to resign from my current company wasn't an easy one. When I first come to Jakarta for this project, I know that it will take me sometime before i can be located back to KL. Life is so lame and routine here. First two months here was no doubt the worse ever in my life due to the boredness of staying here. Things started to turn better when more colleagues come to join me from Malaysia. With this bunch of colleague, we have our laughter, this really helps a lot in reducing the boredness when Im in Jakarta. We even orgarnise trip to make our life happier here in Jakarta. I've went to Bandung, rafting, puncak, safari and pulau putri with this bunch of colleagues.

When i send off my resignation letter, everyone was very shock. No one has expected me to leave as they thought that I was always happy here. I must admit there are a lot of sweet and happy memories that i've obtain from here. Thanks to everyone, they meant a lot to me. :)

Now, its almost time for me to says goodbye with them. I wont be working with them anymore, we wont be laughing during lunch time together anymore. We wont be spending the weekend playing badminton together anymore. I've never know leaving a company would be so hard, especially when all ur colleagues stay together with me and work together as a team. The feeling is like leaving a family behind.

All i could says is, its hard for me to leave you all behind. Anyhow, Thank you all for everything! and all the best to you guys! I will keep these happy memories with me all the time. Thank you Again.. :)

The path is clear .. I wanted to write my own story!

For the pass 2 months, I've been bothered by making a very hard decision for future. Its a path that might lead me to success or failure. I'm gonna be 26 this year, its time for me to figure out my future, my carrier. During my younger days, everything for my future were decided by my parents. Which school do i go, which tuition teacher to educate me. Those days, parents use to compare me with my brother. I remembered i cried when i was 15 when i realise that my PMR result was 1 A short compare to my brother.

When i start my journey into college life, my piority choice was Electronic engineering. Because my brother was doing the same course, so my parents suggested me to take another course. That time, i was still playful, so i choose the hardest course micro-E. Further on, i complete my degree, Communication and Electronic Engineering with quite a good result as well. But i end up in an IT company because I doesn't like working out door nor in a factory.

Today, I was already working in my current company for almost 2 years. 2 months ago, i was approach by "someone" whom offered me to join his company with quite a good pay and benefit. I've been made to choose between traveling overseas with allowance claim or locally with good basic. At first my decision to join the new company was strong, till my current company offer me a counter offer , by then my decision was a bit shaken due to the high pay + allowance which is much difference from the new company. Any how, i was able to reject the devilness of my current company and stay put that i will join the new company.

My decision was again shaken when my parents come into play. They wanted me to stay as the pay was better. Again i stand my decision as i know there are brighter future in my new company and also from next year onwards, when my fren ask me bout how many months bonus do i get ? i can answer it already! lolz.

Next month i will be starting my new job. It will be a hard way for me as i have to learn many new things, but i believe it will have great future, and i'm ready to challenge it. This is my story!

Heat of the Election ...

8th March 2008, Its a historical moment when the opposition takes over 5 major states from the BN. Selangor, Kedah, Penang, Perak and Kelatan was taken by the opposition. Its time for a major changes in Malaysia.

I believe this mark an new era for our country .. the real Democracy! With BN less then 2/3 of the parliment seats, our voice will be stronger.. our demand will be heard... and hopefully a better Life .. :)

Choices ....

Life is about making choices. Like it or not , sometimes u have to make a decision.

Lately, I've been been deciding on the path that i should go .. It took me 2 months to make up my mind, a decision that i shouldn't regret for my life, a gamble in the story of my life. But once i made this decision, others people come into consideration in my decision. I've decided to take the right path, but then, many ppl wanted me to make a U-turn instead. They wan me to stay on the same track and gain a big leap on the same tract to continue my life as it should be. The decision would be clear next week. Either i make a U-turn or a right turn. I hope I'm heading to the right decision... and mostly I hope its a Win - Win situation..

I wish i was still 17

When I was 5, i wish i could grow up faster so i could go cycle with other frens like my brother.

Then when I was 10, i wish i could hang out with frens without being refrain by my parents.

When come 15, i wish i'm 17 so that i could get my driving license and go out with my frens whenever I want.

During 18, I wish i was 21 so I can do whatever I want!

During 22, I wish i can graduate ASAP so that i could earn my own money and spend as much as i could.

Now that I'm 25 going 26, i wish I was still 17. During this age, I have to consider a lot of stuff. Have to consider my Income so that i would have enough money to sustain my life. Yet I have to pay back loan that i've use for my studies. Working pressure is all around. Money earn can't be simply spend without any planning.

During the days when i'm 22, I was studying in college. Life back then was more fun. As i'm working part time to earn extra income for me to spend as my parents doesn't have extra for me to spend. And i applied for studies loan like i don't need to repay!

Its even better when I'm 18. That time I just graduated from my form 5, where by i enjoyed life the most. 1st year of college is like Honeymoon to me as I break free from my parents bond and get to know lots of new frens and hang out till late at night as I wish.

The most enjoyable time was actually when I'm form5 @ 17 years old. With my driving license and my Old car. Thou its old but it serve its purpose! I can hang out with my frens all the time yet i don't even need to pay for the petrol as my parents use to fill it up for me! And I dont need to even worry about anything, just focus on my studies!

But Now, Everything takes into consideration... How i wish i was still 17 ..

27 Feb 2008 Weng Siew's Birthday

Its a special day for our Jakarta boss today. Its his birthday! We (Data warehouse team) decided to give him a surprise celebration at Duck King (Senayan City). But he has found out of our intention due to our "Not So Clever" (STUPID) Spy whom ask for his IC number! Haha. Any how, thanks for the effort! The Birthday Guy and 3 of our Datawarehouse Beauty. Chia Yin, Wei Wei , Sook Wai.

Our Group photo... But the Weng Siew is missing because he went for a cigarate break.

What is love?

A student asks a teacher, “What is love?”

The teacher said, “in order to answer your question, go to the wheat field and choose the biggest wheat and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick.”

The student went to the field, go thru first row, he saw one big wheat,but he wonders….may be there is a bigger one later. Then he saw another bigger one… but may be there is an even bigger one waiting for him. Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he starts torealise that the wheat is not as big as the previous one he saw, he knew he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted. So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.

The teacher told him, “…this is love… you keep looking for better ones, but when later you realise, you have already missed the person.

Raining day in Jakarta ...

It was a wonderfull night to sleep last night as it rains heavily non-stop. But situation got worsen as the rain didn't stop till morning. As usual, we will be waiting for our van to send us to work, this week, my name wasn't on the Van list so I will have to take Taxi to office with some other colleagues.

It was near Chinese New Year so its time for most of us to travel back to Malaysia. Today alone there will more then 10 colleagues from my project travelling back to Malaysia. Due to the rain, everyone was worried that flight might be cancel and also how are they going to the airport.

During the long que at the Taxi stand, we (Sook Wai, Yee Wan and I) gave up and headed to Coffeebean for a tea break @ breakfast. LoLz. Those whom took the Van takes 1 hour to reach office. They were actually the second trip. Our PM tried to arrange the Van for a 3rd trip because whenever it rains in Jakarta, taxi driver will call their day off because it will be terriblily Jam and flood here and there. Our driver refuse to go for 3rd trip because its very jam he says, but after discussing with PM, he agree to go for a 3rd trip. Driver didnt manage to get out of our office area as it is flooded, so the 3rd trip end up cancelled. Hehe .. and we are HOORAY-ing back at the appartment.

Situation grow worse as the rain didnt stop until noon. My colleagues taking KLM flight around 7PM left office at 12 Noon just because they worried that they can't catch the flight. Yet still no luck with them. They were caught in the massive jam. My dai lou (Weng Keong) and his wife left from Appartment to airport at 2PM to catch the same flight but they were caught at the jam too. Heard from some of them the road to Airport was flooded with water as high as 1 meter. Gosh..

I made a call to them at around 7PM ++ , they haven't reach the airport yet. I guess they have already miss the flight. What a day. Some of them wanted to turn back to the appartment and tried their luck again tomorrow. Its already 11.30pm now, although the rain have stop for like 8 hours or 10 hours ago but seems everywhere is still having a massive jam, and i yet to get any news about my colleagues .. i think some of them still stuck .. what a day..

Concert..

Sunday (20 Jan 2008), I went to Jacky's world tour 99th overseas concert together with Shervene, Wei Wei and Jane. It was his last ourseas for this concert tour. He has been singing since 1st Sept 1985 and its is 23 years experince. He is currently 46 years old and might retire anytime so we decided to watch his concert before he retired. The show took 3 hours ++. Its a combination of his classical love songs and some faster pace songs as well as the famous Snow Wolf Lake scene. Although he can't perform at his best that day because he had a flu, but then it was quite an enjoyable show. Above Average i would says. Jacky concert was my 2nd concert actually. The first concert that i've watch were Beyond 20th Anniversary concert. That was way back 5 years ago at 2003. Compare to Jacky concert, I prefer the Beyond concert. Jacky songs are mostly romatic songs which wont much bring up the heat among the viewers. Its totally the differ for the Beyond concert, I still remember everyone started to heat up as early as thier first song when Beyond start to perform. Everyone stood up at their chairs to cheer the band from the first song till the end. Everyone was singing along with the band most of the time. I really wish there would be another good concert like it.

3D/3N Trip to Kuala Lumpur

I have lots of colleagues whom are working in Jakarta like me. We all are entitle to come back to Malaysia every once a month for few days. To most of them, these few days are for them to rest and get along with their families or bf/gf. But to me, back to Malaysia is like a Holiday trip and its more tiring compare to when Im in Jakarta.

This trip was a short trip for me, I touch down at LCCT Airport at 6pm (GMT +8), the minute i step out of the airport, I straight away call up all my frens. Ah Keong came to KL this trip all the way from his hometown so we can meet along. We planned a dinner that night. Reach home at 7pm and I quickly place my lurguage to my room and start up my car and head towards Cheras to meet them.

The dinner was a nice one, I've long for a good laugh for sometimes, these funny crazy frens of mine really made me laugh for the night. Spend the dinner with them till 10pm. Then i got a call from my colleagues, they wanted to go for Karaoke session. I rejected them at first, but they told me they were heading to the Cheras Neway and since I'm there i thought alright will join them for the night. We had a karaoke session till 4am , it wasnt a really enjoyable night, I'm just not that happy and I'm really very tiring.

The next day, after only 4 hours sleep, I woke up at 8.30am. Got myself ready and rush for a car wash since it was quite dirty d. Then headed towards Cheras for dim sum session with my frens. Went to Genting One Hub at 11am to collect Jacky's concert ticket for tomorrow. Next we went to shop for Levis, Esprit, CK, AX .... phew... I guess shopping could really make someone happier... I was so excited that i broke my promise to someone and I'm sorry. :).

After a whole evening shopping session, I went home for a rest, but I didnt have much time. After taking a shower, I head towards UE3 to fetch Edwin. We had a big plan for the night, Clubbing for the night. I seldom request frens to go clubbing, maybe because of my moody mind lately, I just thought of getting drunk all d time.. LoLz. Was planning for a 3 Litre VSOP but then the price of the Liqour was way out of our budget, so instead we took 3 bottles of 75cl VSOP. Cheaper by RM800!!! Venue was The Loft. A nice place to be. Khee Leong was kind enough to bring a lot of frens just to make my dream come true (3 litre VSOP), but then the price really out of our budget, so we end up changing our plan.

Drank a lot that night, till my headache like wanna burst. We hang out at the loft till 3am and another 1 hour at the mamak stall beside. Means I reach home at 4am ++ and slept at 5++..

Normally when frens go to drink, they are able to sleep till very late, I'm the odd one. Normally when i drink I wake up very early, today i wake up at 10am. Lazying at my house sofa while surfing the net. At 12pm a fren come to my house to discuss something SERIOUS but it SECRET :P. At 3pm, I got myself ready to go to Genting for Jacky's concert. Drove to fetch wei wei, Jane and Shervene. 4 of us reach getting at about 6pm. Had our dinner and hang around abit and we enter the concert hall at 8pm.

The show was a long one, 3 hours ++. Today was Jacky's 99th overseas concert. Luck wasn't with us that day, Jacky was sick and cannot perform at his best. But anyhow i didnt really expect a real fun concert with Jacky as most of his popular songs are those romatic songs with slow rthymn and not those hot songs. I still remember 5 years ago watching Beyond 20th anniversary concert, that was the 1st concert i watch and it was Nice cause most of beyond songs are Hot and can bring up the heat amoung all the viewers. Anyhow, It was a nice show from Jacky. We can see that he really put and effort on it.

After the show I sent Shereve, Jane, Wei Wei home. and rush myself home as I was very tiring. Not enough sleep for 2 days already. But then, Bad luck hit me again, at its hurts.. when i was on the way home, driving my beloved putra, I hit a huge hole, darn!!! .. Came down to have a look, the rim was dent. Drove home slowly and i found out it was CRACKED!! what a day.

Immediately in the morning i drove the car to the workshop as i already planned for some fixes to my car. A list of things in my mind which I'm gonna do,fix the dent and cracked rims, change new clutch, skim my brakes, replace new brake shoes, new engine mountings, fix alternator bearing, clean throttle body. Plan for whole day, but then bad Luck strike again. The fella who change my alternator bearing mess up his work and we have to wait for 4 hours for the darn thing to be fix. I actually went to the workshop at 10.30am .. and I left there at 11.30pm .. 13 hours.

I was so tiring yet I need to go all the way to setapak to meet my fren as he help me to change some rupiah for tomorrow trip back to Jakarta. Its 2Am now and I just finish taking my bath and spend my time bloging here. I can only have anohter 4 hours rest before i need to head to the airport again....

What a trip, I think the total hours spend for my sleep this trip was defenately less then 14 hours....
