Back to the world of blogging. Yes, certainly it was a hectic one shall say, but hey it is okay because that is what i really wanna say...hehehe....
Jakarta, Indonesia
Yes, finally after many, many, years....my dream has came true. Finally visited the lovely and bustling city of Jakarta. The capital city of Indonesia. Back in the colonial days, it was known as Batavia thanks to the Dutch.
Actually, I went to Jakarta purely on a mission...it was just a working visit. Something that is relating to my current job some say!
Anyway, the traffic jam is something, but unforgettable. Think about it, traffic jam is just happening anywhere depending on the varying degree or seriousness of the traffic jam.
I wish could stay longer, but hey like dey say there is always a next time. One thing i really loved is yes food....the Nasi Padang just totally delicious. Really love it. It is so authentic Indonesian dish!
Also, the hospitality of the Indonesians is something! They are friendly and caring so far from my observation. That is so like Totally kewl!
Below are just some pics of nasi padang and new fwens met at Jakarta during the working visit thingy!

Wish could post more pics, but perhaps later.... In a nutshell, yes it was a good trip and don't mind coming back for a second one...hopefully it'll be more private and holiday trip.....
Indonesia-Malaysia relationship
You know it is so special of the relationship that the 2 countries share until today. Not to mention language similarity and also both countries have the largest Muslim population.
Lately, it was reported in the both Indonesian and Malaysian press that Malaysia took over some land near the western part of Kalimantan (in Borneo) as claimed by some Indonesian Parlimentarian or elected representative. In the end, it was just some blank talk and Malaysia have deny this.
The point is despite differences in the past, present, and maybe in the future, it is important that we maintain and treasure the beautiful cooperation and friendship that the 2 countries is enjoying. We will all be in the losing end if more bickering or quarelling started to occur and it is just not benefitting anyone both Indonesians and Malaysians.
No doubt differences and misunderstanding do occur; but it is all part of the healthy relationship for any country to endure and grow from it.
Whatever it is, both Indonesia and Malaysia are important partners and should remain that way till the end of time. Remember, we do have some ancestral lineage to Indonesia for most Malaysians and that is the beauty thanks to the 'melting pot' of both countries.
