juz came home from 4-day batam-pekanbaru trip on wed.. feels gd to b home.. though i dun seem to b welcomed cos the first thing my father said to me was "so fast come back ah?".. -__-'''
some observations from the trip: indonesia ppl smoke like free.. as long as theres ppl, theres smoke. so most of the time im holding my breath.. which is gd oso as it makes me less susceptible to fart attacks by someone.. -__-
theres practically no traffic jam there.. the roads r all long n straight with few traffic lights.. many potholes though.. no public buses oso.. v diff from sgp
houses there r quite big.. at least for the one i stayed in.. around 5 rooms? got bird house for capturing swallows for bird nest oso.. though i din get to go in n c..
fireworks is legal in indonesia! watched the kids play with it.. quite interesting
prices in indonesia not realli tat cheaper from sgp.. at least the hypermart there charge abt the same as here..
ppl there like to eat keropok a lot.. at home, at restaurants.. everywhere oso keropok
flying on aeroplane is not as big deal as i tout.. other than take off n landing, its nothing much actually.. though the suaku me took quite a few photos of the clouds on the first flight.. haa. slept throughout on the return flight.. zzz
indonesia wedding is quite different from sgp.. went there to attend bf's cousin's wedding.. they held it in a temple.. O.O.. its like attending a wedding in a church here.. n the couple get to sit.. not like here where they stand throughout.. haa. den have to give thanks to parents oso.. they knelt down in front of their parents while their parents put their hands on their shoulders to give blessings.. the rest i oso duno wats going on.. the priest n the monk all toke in bahasa indonesia.. zzz
the wedding dinner is even more different.. its like getai in sgp.. the guests go up the stage to sing karaoke n the other guests will go up the stage to give ang pao.. v noisy but atmosphere is gd.. some ppl sing like killing pigs oso can get a lot of ang pao.. no wonder so mani ppl go up to sing..
relatives who r single can get ang pao from the bride n bridegroom.. i received 2.. hehe
their fish soup is v nice but salty.. fish is v tender.. hor fun is nice oso.. the guo tiao they used is smaller than the one in sgp
though its a 4-day trip but seems like not much chance to go sightseeing cos we have to follow the group.. n half the time we r waiting for ppl to arrive.. n its v confusing cos we always duno wats going to happen.. somemore all his relatives speak teochew.. -__-.. im like an outcast in the group
going tanjung batu for the wedding again this sun! wonder how the 2.5 hr boat ride will b like.. the 1 hr ride to batam was quite fun.. sometimes like a rocking cradle.. sometimes like a roller-coaster.. made me feel like sleeping.. though some ppl felt like vomitting.. haa
