Where I've been

I did it again.....

Here it is.. Months down the track from my last blog... and what do i have to say for myself?? ... well... I actually have been writing.... just not that much, and haven't uploaded it yet.. its still on my laptop, which is in Jogja... Right now I'm in a warnet (warung internet = net cafe) not far from Vando's house in Jakarta... well now that I'm here I guess I'll dribble a little bit about what's been going on...

I have no idea what I've written about back in jogja.. so yeah.. this is all a little screwed up..

ok... I finished uni for this semester and am on holidays. For ages I said to Vando that I wanted to go to Jakarta at some stage n he said he was going home for holidays, so seemed like a good time to go.. been here for a couple of weeks, and despite what people say about Jakarta, its actually not that bad.. Ok the traffic is a bit of a test on your patience at times, but with a population of over 20Million what do you expect?? I've met a few of Vando's friends, which has been great. we often jalan2 bareng, watching movies, playing pool, went to ocean park, a bit like waterbomb in Bali.. heaps of fun Rp60.000 entry, not too bad.. like I said, I've only been here about two weeks, but it already feels like they're my close friends, I'm gonna miss them all when I go back to Jogja. Sam, Daniel, Deby, they're all a lil crazy! but heaps of fun.. and Karnel, in northern Jakarta, stayed at his place for the past week (just got back to Vando's today) again, just having fun, roaming around Jakarta. went to the national monument, dufan (a kind of theme park), Taman Anggrek the largest shopping centre in Jakarta... I'm sure you'd love it there mum :P especially trying to find a park in the place! haha.. its got about 6 floors, (marion probably makes up one floor... or less... just to put a scale on it) you can really get lost in that place.. was heaps of fun tho, can easily spend all day in there, we just played timezone and watched a movie, meet dave.. funny as.. must see!

oop... Vando is finished... I guess we'll be going soon... sorry this blog is so all over the place.. My time in jakarta is so much better than this blog makes it seem...

Thanks to everyone for making everything so enjoyable! gonna miss you all!!! Kapan-kapan maen ke Jogja!!! Dan kalo bisa Australi juga... santai aja, nginep di tempatku.. gratis kok.. (biasanya Rp50.000...per malam... tapi buat kalian ... freeeeee :P)


If I can be bothered I'll have to come back and fix this up.. but well.. in the mean time i guess here is a temporary update.... or not so temporary... we'll see.
