DAY 2 - SHOPPING ALONE!

Lena left me halfway thru breakfast cos of work. Then, I was on my own. Out shopping to Plaza Senayan, which is like Singapore's Suntec City or KL's KLCC. Every floor, every corner I went. Just to kill time. The anchor tenants are Sogo and Metro. Bought 3 tops at Metro. Jakarta's Metro has interesting range of local labels. Certainly unique! Long kebaya with the ribbon ala Siti Nurhaliza is in the in-thing.

Took a taxi to hotel, and I had difficulty explaining to the driver where is Ritz Carlton. I kept saying that it's near JW Marriot. Then, I realised what was wrong. My pronunciation! It should be Ma-ri-yot Hotel! Heehee...

After prayers, left the hotel again for another shopping mall. The hotel staff was joking with me about calling for a cab. It slipped my mind that it's taxi, not cabs there. He was clueless when I mentioned cab.

The journey to Pondok Indah Mall was nearly an hr ride! The mall is huge...2 units huge!
But, nothing interests me there. Thank goodness, I told the taxi driver to wait for me and let the meter run cos there was a heavy downpour when I left.

Then, the nightmare began!

Took the cab at 5.30pm which is already dark then. Half an hour later I was still 10 minutes distance away from the mall. Rain got heavier...traffic jam (or marcet in indon) was terrible! I was freezing and felt so lonely in the cab. Couldnt make any calls or send SMSes for one hr. Network failure.

Finally I got thru Hafiz. He accompanied me for awhile. Then, Lena was so worried that she msg to ask where I was cos I promised her I'll be back before night falls.

8pm Hafiz called, thinking I was back in the hotel. NO! I was not! I reached only 2 1/2hrs later. Record-breaking time in a cab! The taxi driver couldnt tolerate any longer that he stopped 5mins before we reached Ritz Carlton to pee. HAHA!!!

And I got a nag from Lena, why I didnt reply to her msg. Network failure!

There was a massive jam cos of the demonstrations everywhere!
