deferred

in the last-minute manouver, my application for deferral has finally been approved. i am forced to lodge my application online, 56k connection is really slow when you have to submit 5mb of attachment!! i have to resort in booking an adsl-dedicated computer in this freakin internet cafe!

sorry for the lack of update in the past two weeks or so. my two days trip to Singapore was full of nostalgic surprises. they have added a purple line to the MRT and the ticket machines have changed so much! (oh yes, i’m a proud owner of Ferrari 4005!!)

will be in Jakarta for the next couple of days before planning for my eventual departure to Shanghai at the end of the month. will give more update, now i have to go to the Chinese Embassy!

i have been back a while but couldnt find the time to blog (partly because the 56k connection that im not used to and couldnt stand!!)

anyway, i have been out of town to the ‘kampung’ every day. few minutes ago, i just got back from Linggau, about 4.5 hours drive. My parents’ colleague has passed away and we have to accompany the body to the house. We stayed for about 45 minutes, before returning back for another 4.5 hours drive.

my brother, aidy is currently in Jakarta. For those who dont know him, he is much bigger in size than i am. the funny thing is, everyone that i met, kept enquiring whether im his younger brother where in fact im the oldest.
he is flying back tonight and im due to pick him up in two hours.

my daily routine starts from 5.30 in the morning, where i took Macs (black Labrador) for joggin along the Long Beach (YES, the beach here is so much better than the one in Sydney or Bali!!!). My house is about 500 metres from the beach. Breakfast is at 7am. Then i have to follow my dad around till about 8pm. This is when we finally got home to have dinner together. I normally sleep around 11pm here.

me going to Jakarta again this Sunday for only two days. my dad has to meet with all those China men (i can sooooo imagine that i will be a pole sitting in the corner not knowing what the hell they’re all talking about!)… but the thought of Jakarta with Nasi Campur, Bakmi Gajahmada, and Mie Ayam in Jembatan Lima, are more than enough to compensate that ugly feeling (btw, those are my favourite dishes that i normally eat when i’m in Jkt!).

You must be wondering how is my weight is coping up? Well, i have put on two kilos. But since i have been doing that daily morning jog, i have shed 1/2 kilo out of the 2 extra kilos i put on. not so good huh??
