hurrayy.. finally i can connect to the world wide web. i'm a bit impressed that this wireless technology is getting rampant here in the third world. easy peasy. just a few bits n bobs, et voila! another thing i notice is people use lots of prepaid anything here. from internet, mobile. no need for contracts. u dont have to fill in real information too, i'm told. *shrugs*

i went to mangga dua today. it's like this shopping hub for people from all social classes (?). anyone looking for a bargain, basically. the place is stuffed with things. like a bunch of obsessive compulsive hoarders decide to commute in the same building. i can't stand it. i have a slight claustrophobia problem, u see. so i'd always imagine circumstances where, for instance, if there was a fire, or if there was another earthquake like the one just days ago. and then it'll just be.. buhbye.. kaput.. gone..

on the other hand, the place is fascinating. u can buy anything from a (real!) kitchen aid, kettle, mobile phone, game consoles, pirated and original dvds, toiletries, knockoff handbags, knockoff shoes, knockoff belts, knockoff clothing, knockoff non-leather goods sold as knockoff leather goods - basically, double knockoffs. the list is endless.

but i dont really like shopping there when it's too crowded. and the thing its, when it comes to the fashion, indonesian girls/women/aunties are too concerned with trends. so everyone ends up looking the same. i dont want that. tartan n bat-wing sleeves are in, i notice.

anyhoo..
i'm still settling down at home. it's kinda weird after 10 years++ of being away.
