A few more interesting places in Jakarta

Pondok Indah; an elite area, with huge bungalows that's stretch to the limit, where the side walls of the house is connected to the gate itself..... entry will only be from the front and rear...Somebody told me that Ahmad Dhani of the Indonesian rock-outfit, DEWA, have a house within Pondok Indah.

Pondok Indah Golf and Country Club; very high class and expensive golf course ala Saujana Subang. If you wanna test the course, make sure you play on Monday..coz in Jakarta, the green fee increases by the day of the week.

Pondok Indah Mall; huge mall, ala One Utama...two huge complexes, connected via overhead bridge and underground tunnel. I did not do too much walkabout in the mall, except for going in through the valet parking entrance, go one floor up through the escalator, and have dinner at "American Grill"..... "Sirloin and Seafood Combo"....with all-you-can-eat buffet spread.


Chilandak Town Square; or better known as CHITOS, a place to eat, relax, sit, with with a lot of "pusat" to watch..... CHITOS..... do sound a lot like CHINOZ??! Hmmmm..

Arrived in Jakarta at about 2:40pm, local time. Large crowd today. Took the "beef stew" in the plane. Pretty good, maybe becoz I'm hungry. Was out of the Soekarno Hatta airport at about 3.30pm. The road was not bad. Arrived at hotel Kristal by 4.40pm. Nice hotel. I am staying in a 3 bedroom apartment, overlooking the pool. Mr J, goes direct to work while I'm in the hotel, relaxing. Tomorrow, morning....golf. Afternoon, need to see a customer.......and it goes on like that the whole week. Thursday & Friday...POC. Friday night...seafood dinner with Mr W. Gotta find one other time for golf this week!!!!!

Back in business

Back to work...with pile of stuff to do. Sync with D on tasks to do. Bla, bla, bla and more bla.

The "Hariraya" celebration went on allright. Eve of Eidufitri, went over to Omak's house and joined in the tradition of doing the "takbir" from house to house. 8 houses that night. The boys were having the time of their live...with the "duit raya" being the main and most important purpose of the ziarah and the "food" as the value add to the whole event. Raya Day in Kajang. Then off to the "older" relatives. The next day, in Sentul, and right after Solah Jumaat, back to visiting relatives. Hectic....

4th day of Raya, my first Golf outing. Not bad but not good either. Still feels uncomfortable.
Now , 3 weeks after Raya, Golf is suprisingly not that important to me. I still can play. The score of a single-handicap player is still there. But the drive to improve is lacking. I lack focus. Maybe, it's the long break. Maybe, it's the pain that's still there and was always in the way of my swing. Whatever it is, I"m not as focus as before.


Have to go to Jakarta again, 20th to the 25th or 26th of this month. 1 whole week..... There goes the "Amateur Closed Tournament" at PTGC. And suprisingly, I'm not too upset about it.
I'm gonna bring my set to Jakarta. Gotta play at least once ...or twice.. while I'm there.


But before Jakarta, I"m taking the family for a short holiday....A'famosa. Thursday 17th to Saturday 19th. I'll be there with 3 other families.

Plan ; on Thursday, early mornin', the ladies will do the groceries and cookin.. the kids will be allowed to have "free and easy", the men will GOLF!!!!
