Mr. Hau Wedding

Mr. Hau wedding dinner on 21 Mar 09, I was invited by him. After checking with him what will be the dissert, he mentioned is coconut pudding, which I don’t like it at all. And he promised me he will specially serve me ice-cream instead of coconut pudding. Therefore, before the dinner start I have reminded him don’t let me down and he said eventhough he got no time, he will personally go out and buy ice cream for me.
In fact I don’t expect much from him and even if he don’t serve me ice cream, it is nothing to me and I though he just kidding.
What made me feel great is that he has DONE it…..he reserved an ice cream for me and he brought the ice cream to me himself. I am so touching about this.
Thank you Mr. Hau and wish you happy wedding…….he is now in honey moon at Bali Island. Hehe…..don’t know if I got souvenir from him or not………
Anyway, thanks.

Holidays in SOLO

Finally, I have got 4 days 3 nights holiday to Solo, Indonesia. This trip has been booked early in year 2008 through Air Asia. Nothing much I expect to have a enjoyable or remarkable trip, but the main purpose is to relax and have a peace on my mind after long working, tension and busy period.

Well, this is the City of Batik. Of course I bought few Batik shirts back home. Do some city walk, visit some shopping malls around the hotel. Went around the local “Pasar = Traditional Market” to get some cheap stuffs instead of going to those tourist shops to get expensive stuffs.

What a coincident, the next day is the President of Indonesia come to Solo. The purpose of his visit is to attend the official Open ceremony for Solo Adi Sumarmo International Airport. This is a new airport which already operates around a month. It is not a big airport but more than enough to cater all the necessary.

Adi Sumarmo International Airport

Security is very tight around the city due to the President coming. You can see a group of policemen everywhere. I can say every 150m. Fortunately I have the opportunity to meet the President. He is very friendly and when keep waive his hand to the crowd when his driver drive through the road.

Policemen

I am staying at Hotel IBIS Solo. This hotel is new too (Less than a year operation) and it is cleaned and tidy. However, its WIFI is chargeable which I think should be free for their customer and it charge expensive too. But they miss out to pick up me at the Airport as I have emailed to inform them a day early. Therefore end up I have to wait at the Airport around 1.30 hours. Distance from Airport to Hotel is around 30 mins which is not correct as mentioned in your catalogue (15 mins).

Well, Indonesia President election is coming soon (on 8 April 09), therefore everywhere you can see all the "Kepala" Poster spread around the street, TV and Radio advertisement.

What a bad luck is that my checked in baggage is overloaded by 10 kgs. Air Asia allow 15kgs only. Therefore I have to pay 450000 rupee just for the 10kgs extra. I would like to suggest to all airline company to consider some marketing strategic. Example: To promote healthy life in a way that encourage customer to cut weight. By consider the body weight: If the people is light, then they can bring more loaded weight of baggage or give them some bonus, etc. Hehehe ….good strategic yeah??

Anyway…..Show you some of the pictures which I think should be share out for all of you…..THANKS.
