Pre-Jakarta:
Went up a day earlier, had a hair cut at J's uncle's salon in Taipan.. wanted it short... not so messy & difficult to maintain...Pics taken at his new resort house in Bkt Jelutong, Shah Alam..





Jakarta:
Later, we had our lunch, and was off to KLIA.. flight was at 3.55pm.Upon arrival, we met up with my aunt, and her driver, Pak Tamin.From there, we headed straight for the hotel, The Sultan. It was previously known as The Hilton hotel, until a few years ago, it was bought over by one of the local businessman.. (told you they were rich)...The Sukarno-Hatta International Airport is about 30 mins drive away from the heart of the city, where the hotel is.We arrived at the airport close to 5pm (their local time- M'sia is 1 hr ahead of them).. but we reached the hotel almost at about 6.30pm.(And usually by this time, it's already dark).Jam everywhere!!.. So KL-lites, 1.5 hrs stuck in jam is nothing compared to the 3-hrs jam in Jakarta.Cars everywhere! 3 lane expressway becomes 5 lanes... cars are so close to each other, motocycles weaving in and out like no one's business...
And so, this is how our bedroom looks like... chun.. it's a business deluxe room.. king sized bed! muahahaha...so comfy.. great tv shows too..Another thing that I loved was the bathroom.. everything was marble.. hehehe...


The bathroom..

The comfy king-size bed

After we put our bags, we went straight to the lobby to one of their famous Chinese restaurant... to have dinner with my aunt. Needless to say, the food was superb, and I guess, so was the price!
After dinner, and a good time of chit-chat, we had to call it a day.. and yes, we were so tired.... after much travelling.. zZzzzzz.....
