yup kitorang drive.. dari r ...

ooo kira dekat jugak eh....

ko gi semua pompuan eh?? bawak la pedang ke pisau ke...hehehe

to get around in jakarta..i naik motor scooter yang macam tuk tuk kat bangkok.
it is a rugged vehicle tapi menyeramkan when the driver weave in and out of the lane.
standard fare is about 10,000 rupiah (S$1.80) about 15 to 30 minutes trip.

i'm staying kat sarinah...hotel mahal sikit,with taxes it's US$104 for 2 nights...perit seh..this is my first trip to jakarta...i don't really know what to expect.most of the time,i'm out wandering ..to pay $80 plus a night for accomodation is  expensive to me.i try looking for cheaper rooms,tapi hotel yang ada are expensive.


i baca kat net,people say be wary of this and that.alhamdullilah i'm ok.actually i pakai t-shirt buruk and  with my backpack...people don't take notice of me.


shopping wise....i saw levis but mahal sikit,about $50....i tak beli.
food court is ok...i  ate the kebab....very  sedap with the vegetable salad.
mccafe ...the smoothie is very good.....

ISTAQLAL  MOSQUE ....
on sunday petang i went to the mosque...hari dah nak gelap and maghrib was aroung 6 pm.the most is so BIG...the dome is super big....i nak ambik gambar kat dalam..the place is dark,jadi i tak snap photos sangat.
yesterday morning,i went to the mosque again.i went inside the mosque and snap alot of photos.what more can i saw...the MOSQUE IS AWESOME in term of size.the marble flooring pun cantik...

i saw alot of buses with indonesians coming to visit the mosque.
at the mosque compond ada road side stall....actually they bentang the food on the ground...and you choose what you want and eat.
there are  road side pedlars selling t shirts and souvenirs too.

i saw 2 small kids playing and running kat the edge of the canal near the mosque.it was real scary,kalo jatuh dalam river,that's it.the water is murky...i told my wife...let's go....

TANAH ABANG...ni tempat banyak road stall.dah macam super bazaar ....the place is just too big.i saw a very big store tak ingat nama nya...but it is super big..macam castle siak dari jauh.
kat tanah abang ada masjid...mak ooi segala macam tasbih ada di jual.korma stall pun banyak.those pots yang tarok ayer zam zam pun on sale...macam2 design i saw.will post the photos soon.
actually ni tempat banyak jual kain baju..they do wholesale and retail.i wife bought a blouse and it's only 20,000 rupiah (S$3.50).she bought 5 pieces,kalo bukak kedai kat bazaar geylang you can sell for $10.00.
as usual they sell other stuffs too.they have lots of makan and drink stalls.ada jugak i saw orang bawak small kandang dorang jual rabbit.cute cute ni rabbits.fruits stalls pun ada.but the tebu that they sell.is different from what we have in spore.the tebu there..is thinner.
in the hustle and bustle of the place...ada kandang jual kambing.and i saw the feed the kambing with jagung punya skin.bau kuat seh.

I SAW 2 STALLS JUAL RIFLE.NI RIFLE BETUL...I ASKED THE GUY...PAK,NI SENAPANG BETUL?

DIA KATA NI RIFLE UNTUK SHOOT TIKUS AND BURUNG.
i posing 2 shots with 2 different rifles.will post the photos of the rifles soon.btw,the rifle cost 200,000 rupiah (S$34) ni belum tawar...very memorable this place to me.

PASAR BURUNG......ni tempat best,only think the smell kuat sikit...but i enjoyed myself here.
when you reached the place,the sound of birds singing greeted you.macam2 burung i saw for the first time.the first stall i saw...they have an eagle for sale.i tengok ni macam baby eagle.and on a cage they sell burung hantu...i thot i saw 4 ekor in a cage.
from here,i proceed to the pasar......mak ooi...macam2 burung ada...color nya cantik cantik...the bird cages too are colouful.a sight to behold....i ventured inside...ada jual turkey,ayam katik,dove,pigeons size nya gedek2,pipit,parrots and many more.i was here for an hour before i chow.
ada cages size nya so big,you can but a small boy inside.

JALAN SURABAYA....wooi ni tempat best.ni macam flea market.indonesian hanging lamps ...they are so cantik cantik....i bought one for 125,000 rupiah (S$21.00).
i went to this shop he offered me 350,000 rupiah...i tawar2 ...last price dia nak 200,000..i declined and walk away.
i saw this shop selling for 150,000..i asked for 100,000 dia tak kasi...ok i said we meet in the middle...and we agreed on 125,000.....semalam balik, lampu sua gantung...belum beli bulb aje.

i saw this toplaz antique in blue...real cute man....i tak beli.

a bought an old butterfly brouch for 40,000 rupiah...ni benda looks very old..i bought 2 pieces..for wife and daughter.

ada banyak record (piring hitam) shop...the cover is so old....i snap a photo of deep purple punya poster...weewiiiiiiiit.......deep purple seh...it made my day.

curios of many types can be found too...to flea market lovers like me....this is the place for you.

semalam while wandering in jakarta...i masok kampong...SURPRISE SURPRISE

i saw a coke glass bottle yang 1 liter....weewiiit i bought one to simpan.
btw...i have 4 different types of 1 liter glass bottles.

i bought 2 tin of coke...i am a coke collector.

kat supermarket...i bought vanilla syrup..i bought only 1 bottle.this one very sedap...i regret not buying more.

the fanta bottled drinks....bottle nya stylo mylo...will post the photo soon.

kat jakarta...i saw people on top of the train.kalo train biasa, i selalu nampak kat tv.
ni kira macam common sight.
the one i saw was  their  mrt system.scary seh,kalo jatuh....kalo tak salah i saw it at station gambir.

ok...taxi from airport to sarinah where i stayed was 86,000 rupiah...it looks like a long journey...kena bayar toll 3 kali...

along the way to the airport....on my right..ada banyak macam swampy areas  and big ponds.you can see many people fishing here.it it just beside the road.

by the river pulak,you can see squatters.

Ya this is a common sight in Indonesia bang Matz,then bang Matz tak gi Block M, by the way that time @ Jakarta which hotel did u stay?

BLOCK M ... i read so much about block m........i was walking somewhere kat sarinah...then i saw a bus...dia tarok block m....i went over to the conductor,and asked him...

pak ka BLOCK M ??? he said yes and i boarded the bus.the bus is small,like half of sbs bus.the fare is cheap 1500 rupiah (0.25 cents)...tapi journey jalan jauh.

sampai kat block m.saw many many people.this place is like a super giant version of bedok interchange...there are just too many people and buses..this is madness,with so many people at the interchange the bus drivers still drives  like a F-1 driver.this is real scary man.

along the roads there are many stalls too.i went to one stall by the road.you take any 3 things and it's all 10,000 rupiah (S$1.70)ni macam hardware shop...i bought 6 item...real cheap man...just imagine,pliers and spanner going for 0.60 cents each.

kat sini pun macam2 ada...lighters in the shape of a revolver,vcd  3 for 10,000 rupiah.
kain baju,kasut,sipper you name it,you can find it here.

makan stall pun banyak...not to worry you won't go hungry in jakarta.

btw,there's  a shopping centre yang dah deserted.i think recently ada fire,and those tenants are being temporily given a wooden stall near by.

i saw a woman breast feed her baby by the road side...dia mintak sedekah.
ada small boys with no slippers going around asking for money.
and i saw this boy with a monkey at the bus lane...i think kalo nak ambik gambar,he will ask for a token.

will continue after lunch.....

in jakarta.....
itu hari i naik bas...ada orang nyanyi with guitar dalam bas.the bas was slightly full,at the junction this guy went in the bus...and sang....tak salah lagu classic..."akhir sabuah impian" he sang lagu sedih seh...lyrics macam patah hati....i think this is a common sign in jakarta.kalo anyone of us here nyanyi kat dalam bus in singapore,i think the driver will call IMH for your capture.
before the singer alight,dia kasi keluar small kantong,passengers yang nak kasi duit...will put the money inside.i saw banyak yang kasi 1000 rupiah note.


THIS TIME ...I TAK NAMPAK PETAI.......
