She is just so womanly..saw her live here in Malaysia… she is so gorgeous ok..she have the right curves and all at the right place.. she is tone but not too skinny..she also one heck of a singer and performer .. i used to love angelina..but now she is just too skinny..so she’s out of my list.. but heh.. i love her eyes and lips still though..

Pink- I admire this woman for her talent, her guts..she never pretend to be someone else..she sing and say what she wants…and never scared of it…which i think i need to learn and have in me…

We may be friend but that doesn’t mean you are my friends friend too…tsk tsk tsk…

Then, Daniel replied to my shout out like this…

Daniel Franklin Gomez for me, i accept friend requests from virtually anyone, because my underlying reasons is daniel77anklingomez.com, muahaha! marketing bebey!

” DO YOU THINK WE ARE ARGUING??”

Tell me… hehehhe

p/s: I will try and tell you the whole story after this post..so stay tune!

Anyhoo, im not gonna bore you with all this mumbo jumbo stuff.. but would like to share with you a picture that always make me laugh everytime i see it.. since it’s already Monday and i know what monday biru can do for all of us.. i decided to cheer you up with this picture of mine Hope it will put at least a smile on your face.

Oh ya, before i go further with this picture story, do you know where i can get a cute looking  door chime in kl? I don’t know how cute can a door chime look like but i think what i really want is er… something unique…ours dah nak kaput and on top of that..Domino’s pizza and  McD’s delivery people just could not locate our door bell button! Serious! I just don’t understand why..in fact the door bell was pasted/stick on just next to the main grill! Entah la… maybe the wall color and the door bell dekat sama kut..hence why they can’t see? So yep, if you know where to get one…tell me ok?  Once, i nearly bought the big ass door bell.. you know like the olden days door bell? Main gantung ja di luar tu? hahahha..just so that they can see…

Neway, here’s the picture that i was talking about.. me and my gf  got really stressed out, fed up, tired and bored in the office one day, decided to do something crazy just to cheer ourself up.. and here’s the result

This is before effect

and TADAAAAAAAA!!

hahahhahaha, Yes this is how i will look like with big eye effect, a nose job, face that’s  injected with tonnes of botox ,super smooth clean face and oh i forgot..a slimmer,sharper chin…! I LOOK LIKE AN ALIEN!!! Hahahahahahahahahaha….

Dan has a ” facelift” too but his was not that obvious .. we decided not to much on his face.. takut nanti kena lasing! hehehhe.

Ah, looking at the picture ( the after effect) although i wish i have that super smooth skin and slim face… but im glad i look NORMAL instead of looking like an ALIEN at the end of the day

Have a great Monday guys… i know i really need a GREAT and POSITIVE monday to kick start the week…. if not..hmmm sure bad mood lagi!

Look at the picture above, can you see what is wrong with it?? NO?? Look at it properly again one more time… there is a toddler hand there…where you say??? on the driver side…. can you see now?? If you can’t , that’s most probably you seeing her mother driving the car..while her baby busy “driving: with her too!

YEP Peeps.. we have our very own Britney Spear on the loose in KK!! Except she is not blonde la….

This pic was taken in KK wet market while we were waiting for my mother to finish her pasar shopping! We were all so shocked and angry at the same time when we saw this..what an irresponsible mother she is! Even my 10 and 12 year old nephew knew how wrong it is to do that ..they even call her..STUPID MOTHER!  Maybe the mom thought its cute and telling the baby..nah this is your  ery own outdoor furniture..kau bulih drive lagi..best kan baby?? ISK!! BUDUH OH!

What’s worse, there were 3 adults in that car ( including the mother) and no one did anything about it but lasih ketawa ketawa the baby lagi!!! OMG!!! Entah la apa they were thinking oh! Gila!

I really hope the mother kena saman or tangkap by the police for driving with the baby on her lap! Not only she is putting their live on danger…she is also playing with other drivers on road life on danger! Oh she actually drove out of the wet market with her baby STILL ON HER LAP yea…sampai main road pasar di KK! STUPID NUTSO WOMAN! ISK!!

To all the young parents out there…please read this:

Driving with your baby on ur lap is not cool..i repeat NOT COOL but its a selfish and moronic act..not too mention..you are endangering everyone else’s life on the road too! Be responsible….don’t try to be “cool”!

Something light and easy to read on thursday…have great days peep!

A married couple in their early 60s were out celebrating their 35th
wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant. Suddenly, a tiny yet
beautiful fairy appeared on their table and said, ” For being such an
exemplary married couple and for being faithful to each other for all
this time, I will grant you each a wish. ”

” Ooh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband ” said
the wife.

The fairy moved her magic stick and – abracadabra! – two tickets for the
new QM2 luxury liner appeared in her hands.

Now it was the husband’s turn. He thought for a moment and said: ” Well,
this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this only occurs once
in a lifetime, so, I’m sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years
younger than me. ”

The wife and the fairy were deeply disappointed; but a wish is a wish. So
the fairy made a circle with her magic stick and – abracadabra! -
the husband became 92 years old !

Men are ungrateful idiots …. and fairies are always female!!

Im currently staying in Tanjung Bunga hotel. The room is ok , i have bath tub ( yey!) which i always berendam in every night. My view is facing the ocean with biggggggggg window The only downside of this hotel is that everything in this place is super expensive! Internet is not free.. so if you wanna have connection you will have to pay Rm8 per hour or Rm25 for a day use! Nasib la bosscat and lizzy is here to  pinjam me their broadband and bawa me makan around…kalau tidak im sure i will be bored to death here. and maybe tumbuh balik my adult acne …terlalu stress sebab boring punya pasal. LOL!! ‘touch wood”

Anyway, i know i promised to blog about my after experience from my RCIA retreat..tapi sia rasa .. i would just keep that for now.. nanti bila sia betul betul ready…maybe one day i will story story again

Tadi pagi ba.. ada ni middle east couple.. bikin gerigitan oh! My hotel provide breakfast in the morning..so sia selalunya makan toast saja..im not a breakfast person ba. So while i was waiting for the bread to come out from the toaster sia pi la letak my coffee on my table. I somehow knew that the MAN want to take my bread instead of making one for himself…..but sia inda juga mau tegur terus..i was waiting what was his next move!

Can you believe what he did next?? Instead of taking my bread… he actually pi tekan my bread and then letak balik!!! Of cos, when that happen….sia tegur dia terus… told him hey that’s my toast! And you know what? ..That idiot did not even bother to say sorry!! The couple just pretended that dia inda dengar me.. and walked away! ARGGGGGGG.. punya la bikin gerigitan!! Sial betul ni… benci sia oh!

Of cos, i did not bother to take the toast anymore, made a new one after that..siapa la mau pi makan makanan yg orang sudah pi pegang and kau inda pun tau dari mana tu tangan dia keluar and pigi… isk!  Never knew ada juga orang macam tu masih… padahal can afford to stay in this expensive hotel….teda adat langsung oh diorang sia rasa ni! EEEEEEE..sakit hati!

Ah now i wonder, can i find any interesting over the top creative auto insurance online?? Hmmmm……

Conversation..yea, everyone does that in daily life.. talk, talk, talk and talk… we can’t live without talking! That’s the fact! If not, no genius will create handphone or even house phone, right? But, nope im not gonna talk about telephone or handphone..but a weird conversation i had…yes, it was so weird to me that it made me think..are they for real or just being plain rude and insensitive?

My weirdest conversation happen when i was sent to Jakarta last june for training. It was lunch time. I was having lunch with 2 colleagues of mine. A girl and a boy. Both of them are younger then me. Rewind few days before the lunch incedent.. let’s name the girl J.

When i met J the first few days, she would not want to come and talk to me much.. i do not know why, but i put that as she is one shy girl. She would pass me by and gave me a quick smile and walk away..day in day out…the most she would ask me “mel, udah makan?” or How are you today mel… and that’s it .. nothing more nothing less. She is just that type of a person to me..doesnt do much talking and a real shy girl..

But all that changed when we had lunch.

You see, J didn’t came down with me to have lunch together..but so happen that there was no empty spot at the canteen and she was sitting all alone…i decided to join her and thought to myself..this will be an opportunity for me to get to know her better. First few minute of the conversation went well, she asked me “normal” questions but that all changed when the male colleague of mine decided to sit with us together….

J: Mel, mel pergi saloon selalu ya?

Me: No la..mel don’t go saloon (beauty parlour) often. Di Malaysia saloon mahal!  Tidak seperti di JKT..

J: Oh iya…tapi kenapa ketiak mel putih??? Mel pakai pemutih ketiak ya??

Me:  Gasp… Dumbfounded… taken aback….

What the hell! What kind of questions is this la??  I do not know how to react to it..be upset? laugh my ass out? or take that as compliment?

Me: I dont use any of those stuff.. i don’t believe in those product.

J: Tapi mel punya ketiak cukup putih…cantik… ketiak J hitam banyak tompokkan..jelek banget dan oleh kerana itu, J malu mau pakai singlet..

At this point, i could see she was actually looking at my armpit and the male colleague turn around and look at it too..OMG!! I was so malu and felt awkward terus ok… so happen on that day i was wearing sleeves top!!!i seriously do not know how to reply her back..

Thank goodness the male colleague of mine cut in and sort of stop the conversation…

He said: I think mel do not shave her armpit hair but instead she pluck it out..hence why  she do not have that razor bumps on her armpit-

Me: ‘Nod”

ask myself…she’s watching my armpit all this while???? WHY, WHEN and HOW?

J: ok….continue eating her lunch as if nothing happen…

I tell you that was one of the worse conversation i ever had in my whole life..dah la  I do not know her well, she asked me over lunch pula tu and it have to take place in front of a male collague whom i just get to know too!! OMG!!!

It really made me feel awkward… malu-fied ( yes, i was malufied ok) and geez… of cos offended!

I know she didn’t talk bad or meant ill towards me ..tapi .. takkan la kau tanya that kind of question to someone whom you just met like few days ago kan? Lagi lagi kalau tu orang kau punya manager and sort of your club guest…kalau dia tanya sia when im alone,  i don’t mind at all tapi… ni depan lelaki ba..astaga!!! Pengsan!

Btw, apparently she watched me whenever i lift my hands up to tie my hair  or while im working out!

Here’s some tips that might help,  if you are facing the same problem as J.  Good luck!

Shaving

While there is nothing wrong with shaving off hair from the underarm region, the underarm region does tend to get darker especially with Indian women, since they have black or brown hair. This hair is not pulled out from the roots and so it is often visible below the skin even after

Waxing
Waxing removes hair from

Epilating
If you feel you must remain hair-free on a daily basis, instead of

Ba, penat sudah sia cerita pasal underarm ni… baik you and i surf this site office furniture lagi syiok,

It felt like it happen only yesterday that i  got HITCHED officially and now looking back it’s  nearly two months since 18.07.09 ( few more days it’s going to be two month) .

Both of us was so busy right after the engagement..we didn’t really get to enjoy our new status  as newly “ENGAGED”  and now we are already on the roll with the wedding plan.  The only time we had for ourself to enjoy our newly engaged status was our Krabi holiday..LOL!

As soon as we got back from kk.. things just got into fast farward mode ( that’s how i felt) i have to study and prepare my training module, going into meetings after meetings and then straight on to conducting training after training. On top of that, every weekend now we have to do loads of travelling, checking  out wedding stuff, flowers, venues, cakes.. make up artist..etc etc and not to forget..i have RCIA class to attend. Wahahahahhaahah… FULL BLAST YO!

In month of october, we have wedding course to attend, Feb flying back to KK for wedding interview and  i guess when we are there.. another loads of stuff to check and see. I am lucky to have my sister Anitha to help me out with kk side wedding reception..if not..haha, im sure im gonna pull my hair out!  Not a pretty sight to see when the bride start pulling her hair isn’t it..LOL!!!

Ahh.. even writing this up made me feel “waaa..so banyak kerja” but im not alone… I have a strong support from my family back home, sister and brother is running the whole show there, im so lucky to have them as my siblings… kalau inda i have no idea how am i gonna deal with the whole situation i believe.

In Kl, i have Dan’s mom, brother and cousin  sister helping us out and of cos… my strong macho man Daniel.

Saw this NC short term health insurance, that reminds me..i need to get my insurance stuff done too soon. ah..another to do list..

The front view of the wedding gown which was posted at my earlier post.

This whole 3 weeks i will be busy training the new rookies in Celebrity fitness. Today was the first day of the training, It was an interesting training.. getting to know the instructors and at the same time trying to refresh my memory on PT’s too. Its been so long since i last visited PT department…LOL!

Day 1, i manage to keep everyone interested, i see smiley faces.. that’s a good sign for me  Thursday will be the second day of training.. this session will be more “interesting” as it goes deeper into personal training programs.I said interesting because…Hah, i have stopped giving PT session for more than 7 years now…i seriously do need to go back to basic again. ..Jeng Jeng Jeng.. i am nervous but i don’t mind the challenge. It will only help me grow, i believe. But the only thing im worried about is .. building the confident and trust with the trainers.. I can’t be looking lost and unsure all the time righht with the presentation?  Oh well, i just hope i can stuff every infomation needed into my brain before thursday.

Ah.. will see how it goes.

I guess i won’t be doing much of diet pill review now..since i will be  busy with the training..but if you are looking for one…just type diet pill review

P/s:  Go watch district 9 if youhaven’t done so!! It’s COOLLLLLL!!!

P/ss: Do you know if you wanna lose 1kg of your body weight you need to burn 7700 calories??!!

Floating village..

I really enjoy this boat ride. despite me being wet with the unpredictable weather in Krabi

See… exactly what i said.. sekejap sana tu awan jadi hitam.. and bikin takut ar, sebab the wind was soo strong macam ada ribut pula sia rasa kadang kadang.

Me, riding bike on my own. I manage juga.. tapi inda la pi jalan raya.. only at the  hotel parking area. Best pula kan ride motor ni…LOL!LOL!

This was taken on the day we’re leaving Krabi…hahah kesian ba kami .. kepunan matahari Krabi.

Just like the signage i was holding said.. this restaurant serve clean and good food!! Yummy.. tapi jangan harap makanan sini murah sangat….1 beef, vege , tom yam soup (small), 2 steam rice and 2 drinks.. can cost you up to Rm 34-36  but you won’t regret it la.

Ba sia mau surf  and look for tv stands dulu, i think it’s time for me to do so.. get a new tv stand at home

Ba, till then. Nite peeps.

Our transportation to airport to hotel and vise versa.. included in our package. Taking Taxi will cost your 600 baht per way

This is the scenery you get to see in Krabi.. i like the bukit bukit or gunung gunung di sana..cantik!

Our hotel name..i recommend this place if you ever visit Krabi..:)

Our room

The balcony of our room..

The mat rempit of the year!!

Boat ride to the famous landmark/symbol of Krabi

The famous symbol..unfortunately..i can’t remember the name.

The cave.. my first cave visit. Interesting yet scary for me…LOL!

The dancing mangrove.

Stay tune.. more pictures will be uploaded..for now me wanna sleep..nite people.

As you all may already know, we spent our weekend at Krabi this time around as our post engagement holiday. It was really fun! I really enjoyed the short weekend trip.

We arrived on Friday afternoon only to be greeted by rainy, cloudy and windy weather. The hotel coordinator told us that the weather has been like that for the past few days and may last till weekend. My heart sank when i heard the news.As soon as we reach the hotel, we waste no time and went out to check Krabi Pranang beach area. Before we stroll down the beach, Dan suggested that we should rent a motorbike to go around town and head we go hunt for motorbike rental place. Five minute walk later.. we found the place. For 200 baht per day (rm20) and we have our own “superbike” to travel in Krabi.

I was kinda nervous at first when Dan start the motorbike, it was my first time riding bike with him and that was his first too after his accident 10 years ago, LOL!! But after a while, we both had fun, laughing and Dan’s making funny sound and comments while riding the bike…ah.. that was quite an experience for me..oh did i mentioned? I also pandai pandai start motorbike and rode for about 200 meter back and forth..heheh that was fun..but i dont think i will do that here in Malaysia. Sini scary la.

Anyway, on the second day weather was still  gloomy and our island trip has to be cancelled due to choppy sea and unpredictable weather. We decided to extend the bike rental and took a trip down to Krabi town about 30 km away from where we stayed. At town, we took a boat to I can’t remember the river name now but it was suppose to bring us to this famous Krabi landmark. Along the way, we stop at one spot where we were allowed to go into a cave..that was scary yet exciting for me.. i never been to a cave before in my whole life..so that was the first (again) for me.

After the cave trip, the boat man took us to canal of mangrove.. i see lots and lots of kayu bakau “menari”. The way the tree intertwined with each other…really look like they were dancing. But the first thing pops in my mind when i saw the mangrove  was the dogs that was thrown at pulau ketam i wonder what happen to those dogs… sigh.. i hope every single of them was rescued now.

After the boat ride, which cost us 300 baht each (rm30 per person for an hour) we were suppose to go and climb this tiger cave with 1200 steps! Yes, you read that right 1200 steps.. but hahahah..someone said..er.. lets cancel that one and just go to gastrpod fossil beach.. and hop we go to that beach..sampai sana…hmm it was kinda dull for us.. so we didnt want to waste another Rm20 per person just to see batu or siput kerang yg sudah bertahun lama di dalam laut and jadi fossils… so we just did bit of shopping and went back home straight to hotel.

All in all.. the trip was really relaxing,fun and enjoyable  despite being disappointed for not being able to go to Phi Phi island and enjoy the white sandy beach as how Leonardo Dicaprio get to enjoy it in his movie called THE BEACH.

Dan and i promise we will come back to Krabi again soon to enjoy the island next round.

For now, i need to check this fat burner out ;P

I can’t afford to gain anymore weight.. kalau inda susah la sia mau kasih percaya orang yg sia ni rapid result training development coach for celebrity fitness and im gonna face the whole team tomorrow..adeh segan pula sia.. all my team semua fit fit ni..sia saja yg hmm lembik pressure betul..

Anyhow.. this is my second week working with celebrity fitness Malaysia.. so far so good.. i hope everything will go well.. i hope training will go smoothly and all trainers ok..i have not seen them in person yet  but i will tmrw. First step, is to get to know them, get some fedback before i proceed with the training… im still kinda lost with my new work, but im sure i will be ok once i get used to the system and all.

The only thing that im still trying to get used to even after 8 years in this industry is ..WAKING UP early in the morning!!!! ARGGGGGGGGGGG!!! Im sooooooooo not a morning person… sigh. Every morning i could hear Dan’s cheerful voice greeting me.. and here i am greeting him back with my grumpy voice..i would lay in bed as long as i can before i drag my butt out to the shower room..kalau sia masih budak kecil lagi now..im sure i would have cried and throw pillows on the floor showing my tantrum in the morning…LOL! Yea, yea..i’m a spoil brat…. but hey.. i never actually had the luxury to sleep in till late in the morning ok since i was 7 years old… day in day out..5:30am sharp, i have to wake up and go for my swimming training sudah..only now after leaving Sabah and stay on my own..sia dapat that luxury..tapi tu pun bukan all the time. sob sob.. i cant lay in bed the whole day cos i have 1 big baby to jaga..and another one fury lil cute thing waiting for me t greet her in the morning. Hey..jadi perempuan ni susah juga kan?? Kenapa la lelaki inda bulih jadi pregnant ar?? kan baik kalau diorang boleh..mungkin they will be bit more sensitive kan?? wahahah ..totally out of topic ni ni hari..

Hmm..ba ok la.. cukup la sia merepek inda tentu pasal today.. im too tired ba ni.but i have tonnes of assignment menunggu untuk di clear kan dalam inbox sia..so baik sia merepek daripada duit sia terbang!!!

Ba ok la..nite nite everyone!

Can you guess how much does this food and drink cost me in Jakarta? If you have been following my post about Jakarta, im sure you will be able to guess the price…. roughly.

Nothing is cheap when it comes to mall food court and not knowing many places where i can get food that similar to Malaysia food. i don’t have much choice but to have my lunch and dinner at mall food court. I wish i had someone bringing me around though..unfortunately…no one was free..sob sob….

But one thing i love about JKT mall food court is their cleanliness!!! It’s wayyyyyyyyy cleaner than Malaysia mall food court…seriously..even their toilets..OMG!!! I think i can even walk kaki ayam in the loo and not feeling disgusted at all, LOL!! And oh…I love the fresh fruit juice too.. its so pure and yummy! Wish i can find one place here in Malaysia where they serve 100% pure juice…no sugar, no ice and less water…hmmm yummy!! Anyone out there know where i can get this??

Anyway, if you are looking for Outer Banks rentals for your holidays outside of Malaysia, just hit the highlighted “note” . I wish i can go to one of the houses…but ….. it would be awesome if i could rent one of the houses there for my honeymoon or even my wedding venue…;) but hmm..mimpi saja la Mel….LOL!

this is not a Christmas party invitations…but if you wanna checked out just that..then i suggest click the link given.

I forgot my handphone back in my apartment..decided to asked the taxi driver to make a u turn and drive me back to the apartment. To my surprise ..he was very unhappy about it..he even sigh loudly showing his “happiness” to me.. i thought that was really rude of him.

Exactly 10:45am, after leaving my apartment again…he made a big bang sound in the car..i was shocked, he was hitting his stering wheel few times and started cursing! I thought that was really really rude of him to do so.. i wanted to asked him is everything ok when suddenly…i saw this…

I  was stunt, scared and panicked! I thought it was a riot and at that point suddenly the image of my mom, dan and gummi flashed in my head..i thought im gonna be gone in that  sea of people and motor bikers….

Not until the cab driver started saying..this is why i was rushing just now..i wanted to escape from this crowd..its Jakarta election day tomorrow and today is the last day for the supporter to do their campaign…i was relief upon hearing that news…but still not good enough to make my nerve calm down. Along the way to FX mall, i was really alert of my surrounding..i was really worry that  a riot might just start out of nowhere…

You will understand it if you were in my shoe..LOL! In Malaysia, campaign was not done this way..so that really my first… my cab was surrounded by bikers..with flags.. small placard.. music blasting  from the bike saying UNDILA SBY ( something like that) and the whole bikers came with coordinated t-shirt colors! OMG..to me it really look like a riot and im stuck right in the middle of it! My heart beat was racing..seriously! And to calm myself down..i texted Daniel..but unfortunately..Dan being Dan…he replied to me in a very naughty way…LOL!!

The 15min rides turn to be 45 minutes cab ride for me..and i dont have to mentioned la how much teh cab cost me on that day…LOL! It was a BOMB! LOL!!

Apparently, the traffic jam and the campaigner will go even more crazier towards the evening…. there will be more supporters on the road.. more cars.. more bikers ..more buses..all transporting the supporters to the stadium next to FX mall…and that’s exactly what happen in the evening… but to the locals… this was nothing! It used to be even MORE crazier…. “gasp”

This was around 3-4pm in the evening…pictures was taken from the gym lounge area.

And this was around 5pm….

I was thankful to God that nothing bad happen that day.. jakarta was safe although to me.. that could just start something nasty and that was one of  my most unforgetable experience while being in Jakarta

Bajai transportation, imported all the way from India!

Kedai kecil kecilan di lorong lorong jalan, something we wont see in Malaysia.

Grafiti…it’s everywhere!

Kids playing on the street…Yes..itu salah satu jalan keluar masuk motor@ speeda di kawasan Tiong!

My apartment is surrounded with this type of houses

And the house with the tree…masih pakai air telaga! Eh telaga ka tu kau panggil?? Or perigi?? Sia lupa..See how sempit is the pemisah between two houses??

The famous MACET as how locals call it, we call it traffic jam!!! You get this as early as 2pm in Jakarta!

Motorcyle stop at the tepi jalan..tapi jangan salah anggap ni la…OJEK!! One of their public transportation here

And this uncle on bicyle..goes around selling coffee..instant coffee for those people who is waiting for busses to go home! This is what i call innovative and creative!! Instant coffee everywhere..:P

Oh yea, can you find any Ferrari parts in the pictures??  heheheheeh..cuba cari

Friday, exactly 7 more days from today i will be done and over with Jakarta life and i will start my new journey in KL. Im am so happy and excited about this but at the same time worried and nervous about it. Im not so sure if my training here did gave me enough confident and knowledge to bring it down to the trainers back in KL. I do hope i have though.

It was hard for me here in Jakarta. That’s the truth..i did enjoyed the time here (people are warm and friendly) but at the same time i had fair amount of “sufferings” as well .

First it was the food..i had hard time adjusting to the food here. Food that was familiar to me back at home was really costly here in Jakarta, cheap food means i have to take the local dish which honestly doesn’t really go well with my taste bud. Then came the language.. this was the toughest part for me. Because of the language barrier, i had hard time trying to understand the training module, speaking to the local and getting around town. You may think they understand us Malaysian but that’s not true..our language is different from them! So if you are coming down to Jakarta..i  suggest that you get a good language book in hand in case you don’t know any local here! Our pronounciation and the way we say it is totally different from them! We may have some word similar but mostly..nope!

Jakarta city offer you alot of shopping malls  and most of them are as big as Pavillion back in KL and barang barang sini pun inda la murah sangat. I can say, it’s similar to what kl can offer you and since price doesnt differ much from kl, i  didnt shop for the first time in my oversees trip.

Jakarta is a metropolis city. Offices was build on sky high building, huge, tall and beautiful! (rental pun sia dengar cantik juga ) But malangnya, the houses here are so scattered that it looks so messy and almost.. menyakitkan mata (i think they need the Outer Banks homes agency to help them )  and the road condition in this housing area really reminds me off jalan Ranau to Sandakan… betul betul rosak cuma beza dia ..you get this di dalam perumahan jakarta di tengah tengah bandar and bukan di kampung.

Im sure by now, you guys know that Jakarta is not the cleanness city you can ever get. Orang sini buang sampah merata rata tempat!  Once i was in a cab on the way to one of the club, the cab driver senang saja buka window trus buang sampah dari dalam kereta like its not a big deal ( memang pun its not a big deal for them but i was so shocked) and another time, i was walking with one of my colleague here..tengah syiok syiok bercerita.. he just spat right there and then in front of me!  I was speechless when that happen..sia kegelian trus, LOL! Mau tell him off..but hmmm.again i don’t think its unusual thing for them.

Yup, thats how i see Jakarta… You may see it differently from me..but hey, we are not the same people right?

But one thing i love about Jakarta is the people… they are so nice warm and lovely! I guess that will be the one thing that i will miss the most about this beautiful yet crazy place the warmed and friendly smile of Jakartan’s!

Anyhow,  some of you have asked me is it worth to come and visit Jakarta..of cos i would say yes! Come and see the place yourself..experienced it! You need to do that to know the place yourself…don’t take my words 100% ..again like i said..we may see it differently tapi i won’t recommend it if you wanna come here alone for a longggggggggg holiday! LOL!!
