With the power of "bedek bedek" from Abedeng and Uncle Loh, I booked the air tix without the leave approval Heck care, TC and BC more impt than work in May 2008
Are you going too? Make sure smashie tries some spekkoek/ spekuk/ kue lapis/ lapis legit whatever you wanna call it . It has been smuggled out of the Jakarta Hilton as well at times to attend to my needs (well at least it's not supposed to be for sale there)
Hmm.. ..i'm sure our BC's national flag will need some protection and extra eyes, too...hmm.. ...hmm, i've mentioned my answer a few times, earlier in this thread...As for foods, don't worry, i'm sure our smashie54 will enjoy the many INA delicacies in Jakarta..
as a matter of fact, My mom is one of famous one for Kue lapis....anyway,...I have ordered Dodol Durian from Pontianak to share some with you.....
smashie54 is getting excited about "the many INA delicacies in Jakarta" haha.. wait, we're only talking about food, right? i'm not allowing hau-ge much rest, i've asked him to show me around soon after i arrive on the 8th, but it's not just for me - it's for everyone who's going! i will be his 'warm-up' so he will be ready to host everyone else from BC and maybe i can pass the sacred banner along to him then as well?
Now, Lauren, don't you dare to "exhaust" him (Pretty Rudy) even long before we enter the scene, not unless you're willing to take over. I should think you'll be an excellent replacement!
The fever is in the air.. ...man, i wish if i had met our Hau-ge 2 yrs ago to take me around when i visited Jkt..... ..Loh, problem is, what if both of them are too spent and "bloated" from the early excursions and trips to the local restaurants? then you guys coming later will have to do on your own.....I guess it's first come, first serve..
Guys if u wanna have a good time in Jakarta...I mean while u are in Jakarta and u'll be in Senayan I reccomend u guys to add Travel Spa or Emporium Spa as part of ur trips....the massage is soooo good.....well I won't be in Jakarta by the time of Thomas Cup I mean I'd still be in England won't be back until the 28th......I'd love to take u all there but anyway it is only like 30,000 by taxi from Senayan...just say to the driver Mangga Besar 8....and they will know...so good luck
So many suggestions to dine and indulge in activities, so little time (other than watching badminton). And I'll bet none of those who are going have become millionaires (in Rp) yet. Better start packing and preparing now. Me too, got a busy 9 days including one outstation trip before flying out to Jakarta.
I already finish my outstation trip and all my task last month! Now just sitting at office counting to 14th
wah... u so rich huh? then buy me a nice TC/UC YY t-shirt lor dun know if i should bring along my gear n rackets... better not, later they think i'm one of the Msia TC players Excited n looking forward for this TC trip...
Huh, better do all the work u r supposed to do between 14th and 19th May ..... Yup, bring ur racquets along and you will need a working visa . We are supposed to look like tourists when passing immigration checkpoint. So must act as tourists.
Many thanks to those in the Century Park group who have "entrusted" me with their hard earned money aka paid their hotel bills, and also those who have pledged their "fortunes" to me. As for the rest, remember, I aim to collect ...... ....... with tripod.
Hmm.. ..sitting all day and counting the days??..don't you have to do some packing up??.. ...as no different with what other women will bring, i'm sure you won't be forgetting to pack-up and bring the all important make-up and cosmetics bag(s)...
