iTalentStar Prize : Jakarta Trip

A special thanks to iTalentStar and Wotif.com, I was able to visit Jakarta, my girlfriend's hometown, last July on the 29th.. Being the Malaysia Country Champion for iTalentStar was not something easy to achieve.. I'd to go for a lot of restless nights to win this prize.. Click here to read about my journey of iTalentStar..

A getaway voucher from Hotel Ciputra to stay in the Presidential Suite..

Before getting to the Hotel, let me tell you how's my first impression at Jakarta..

 
A random pathway on the way to immigration..

A random shot during the long walk to the immigration..

Whoa.. the airport.. the design was unique and a bit traditional.. I were expecting Jakarta airport to have a bit more hi-tech design than the one we have in KLIA.. I guess they wanted to remain their design to show their culture in Jakarta..

One shocking in the Jakarta Airport which really caught my attention is this!!

A monitor lizard looking after the luggage?!

I guess no one will try to purposely take someone else luggage after looking at this creature looking after the luggage.. Anyway, the monitor lizard really hit the spot there as it'll be bored by just waiting for your luggage and doing nothing.. With this creature, you at least spend some times taking pictures of it (just like what I did).

After luggage, met my girlfriend there and we were set to go..

While on the road, another SHOCKING thing was this..

No.. not about this toll.. Malaysia also has toll like this..

It's about this..

3000 CASH to pass one toll..

After counting, it was actually RM1++ only la.. Then I was laughing for making a fool out of myself.. Haha.. I guess we just could not get use to the currency there..

After driving on the jammie road, we then reached our hotel quite late already..

After checking in using the voucher, we went to our room.. Presidential Suite, that is..

Wow.. A dining table for six with welcoming "FRUITS"..

 
Wow.. A bunch of golden flower on top of a desk..

Wow.. Chairs, Sofa, and Table to relax and watch TV..
(Don't mind the one standing behind the curtain.. She's too shy to be in the whole scene.. Anyway, she's my girlfriend..)

 
Wow.. big place to sleep..

There was actually another "Wow!!".. I forgot to take the picture of the bathroom.. it's FREAKING BIG with Water SPA!!

View from the room..

Without the gift from iTalentStar, most probably, for the whole life, I won't be able to enjoy to stay in such a luxurious room.. I normally stay in an economical room.. Small and Sleep-able can liao..

I guess someone like me is just like "a frog which just jumped out from the well"..

There will be more about my past Jakarta trip.. Stay tune..

Nuffnang Gift for Robb

I'd been busy lately to do blogging and all sorts of stuffs.. I saw this Nuffnang Gift Ideas Contest last month and read about all the details.. The first people who came to my mine is ROBB aka SotongZai..

Ok, I have to state this clearly that it's not because I fell in love with him as he is so cute  nor I'm trying to get a higher score for giving a gift to Nuffnang staff..

After reading Robb's post last month regarding the "Shaving Robb's Private", I was thinking why not buying an electronic shaver which save his hassle to shave his private or whichever part of his hair that he like..

This Nuffnang Gift Ideas Contest enabled me to give a fellow nuffnanger a gift and gave me this very opportunity to give this Panasonic Men Travel Shaver for him..

He can now bring this everywhere he wants and don't have to worry that he will ended up like this hell cursed fellow..

and just like what Robb, him himself said that "All it takes is only 1 shave for the area you want to shave even if your facial hair is like half an inch long."

I went to make some research about this shaver (just like what we normally do before buying things..) and I found the features for this Panasonic Men Travel Shaver..

FEATURES

• New compact model.
• Easy to hold ergonomic design.
• 60° inner blade.
• Battery operated with 2-AA Batteries
  (not included).
• Independent floating double heads.
• Wet/Dry model.
• Rinses clean.
• Travel pouch included.

Whoa.. Really no more hassle.. Cleans easily.. And can bring everywhere he wants and also suits him a lot as it looks stylish enough for a male.. It also has the Wet/Dry feature which I don't really know how it function.. Perhaps it'll give Robb some excitement when he is in a wet mode..

Popular handsome and hot guy like him must own one electronic shaver to be as cool as the owner himself..

Hygienic enough.. Hope he will enjoy using it if I can win this contest.. Even though, it's not a gift which is very expensive which is only RM78.00 (which he can, ofcourse, get himself one..), it's still a gift for him..

Coffee Terrace @ Genting Highlands

Last month, 26th July 2008, my girlfriend's family brought my family and I to one wonderful restaurant at Genting Highlands..

and the name is Coffee Terrace.. from the name, it sounded more like a relaxing place with coffee and music just like Starbucks and Coffee Beans..

but when I stepped into the place, I was stunned by the design and ambience of the place..

they have great sculptures there..

 
with nice antiques and traditional items displayed around the wall..

 
and with great lightings all around the ceiling..

The most important thing there is BUFFET!! You get to select variety of foods from variety of culture selections.. From Eastern cuisine to Western cuisine..

 

the weird thing that I saw is this..

 

ain't this suppose to be MAMAK instead of Western Asian cuisine?!

I got this from the so-called Western Asian cuisine.. it's Naan, Tandori Chicken, and Papad (if I didnt remember wrongly..)

 

Ofcourse, some mouth watering SUSHI are available there.. I took a lot and ate a lot.. GOSH!! They are great with the GREEN GREEN WASABI!!!!

There are a lot more food that I ate and I didn't take the picture 'cause I ate too much.. *pai seh to let people see I eat too much mah..*

Ready for some desert?!

Or some local fruits?!

Oh.. before I forget.. Let me introduce my girlfriend's parent.. They are very kind person.. Very nice to meet them.. and also thanking them for treating us the buffet there..

My mother, my nephew, and my girlfriend's mother..

My girlfriend's father and my father..

No one take pictures of me and my girlfriend 'cause all busy eating.. only me take picture here and there.. I guess it's just the regular routine of blogger to share what's happening around him..

Well, not forgetting to take a narcist photo before leaving..

A photo in front of the entrance/exit.. I haven't even get ready yet and my mother snapped the photo liao.. Sigh... Guess that's all from Coffee Terrace..

To feel it, see it, and taste it.. Go for it.. Only at Genting Highlands..

Ocean of HUMANS!!

I went to PC fair yesterday and it's packed with people.. I guess they should call it "Humans fair" instead of "PC fair".. There are more humans than the PC sold/exhibited there..

Well, I guess it's not much a PC fair already.. We can even see "POST-IT" (the one which you can stick your paper on anywhere one le..) to have their own booth there.. and I don't know how to relate it with PC though..

 
HUMANS!!!

Just before entering, I'd to struggle myself in the ocean of humans..

What's worst is when you start smelling some awful smell around you when people start perspiring.. No offence but when you try to squeeze yourself in there, you will, too, smell like a fish!!

 
More Humans!!!

From Hall 4 to Hall 5 (If I did not remember it wrongly), the path is freaking CROWDED!! People moving back and forth (though I thought it's only one-way walk)..

Imagine you move only a inch when you walk while some others are pushing you from the back and from the front..

This is where I had to struggle myself in the OCEAN!!

Oh GAWD!!

Short Post: Shocking Page Ranking

While I was doing a quick read through at my blog (yes! here!!) , I saw some shocking PR reaction..

PAGE RANK 2?!!

I was having a shock a while when I saw this.. Well, I used to see this popping for PR4 for the page rank.. but it's just merely a trick or perhaps I see it wrongly.. Cause the last time I went to check at PRchecker.info, I double check with the website, my PR was undefined..

So this time, I went to check again.. (to check whether is my eye problem or what..) and I saw this..

I donno how true is this.. but I would like you to leave a comment after you check this too.. Who knows it's just some technical problem again after all..
