back to the stone age

I am now experiencing internet connection at 12 kbps at my home in Jakarta.

I don't have broadband installed here as no one is computer-literate in the house.

i feel sick

I don't know why but everytime I'm about to fly out back to Jakarta by myself, I always feel this nervous uneasy feeling. If I'm flying with someone, I'm usually OK.

It's not that I'm afraid of flying.

I always feel sick, like I'm about to throw up, and it's just for that one flight (or maybe two).

Damn.

Will see yous in about a month time.

And I don't think I won the lotto last night.

Double damn.

the queue

If you think the queue for Transformer movie tickets is long, think again.

I've seen a lot of really long queues today for the AU$ 90 million Tattslotto jackpot.

And yes, I was in the queue too.

holiday

I'm flying back to Indonesia tomorrow morning.

We're not going to China as originally planned since the touring company couldn't find enough people to go. Damn! I've got the Chinese visa already!

So we're going to go to Manado instead. Not sure what I will encounter there except for the famous banana fritter eaten with chilli.

Will probably go to Bromo after that if we have the time since we couldn't go last time, or maybe Tana Toraja, where the ethnic houses would be cool to photograph.

And I'll be stopping by Singapore for a week before going back to Melbourne.

I haven't finished packing though, just barely started and it's mostly my photography stuff.

And last but not least, I got myself an iPhone 3Gs. Yes I'm back to the dark side. I've already got a few games apps on it too. I'll probably want to switch to a contract once I go back to Melbourne.

As for now, ciao.

just being silly

Bought a couple of pair of jeans tonight.

I was told that these jeans come with a one year warranty...

At this point I kinda thought if people actually steal the jeans you are wearing that you'd need a warranty.

And then she continues ... just in case you lose your button or zipper.

At this point I actually asked her if this ever happens and we joked about it.

But seriously, do the buttons and zippers on your jeans ever come flying off?

ukulele

Should I switch to Ukulele?

Maybe I'd learn it for fun

If you happen to be Indonesian or understand Indonesian and you can't live without your programming and codes, here is the place to go.

a moment of bliss

I had a really weird dream last night (or was it this morning).

What happened wasn't much of a story but when I woke up I was blown away and was left thinking; #1 was it real or whas it a dream, and since it felt so very real, almost like deja vu, #2 who is she?
