I am now working in Akimarts, an accu retail store based in Pluit, Jakarta supplying batteries and automotive accu of various types and brands. The idea of expanding Akimarts is very much the main mission of the company. One way towards achieving that mission is to expand and open a…
Next Destination: Toko Baterai Akimarts
I’ve gone through a big change in life lately. I am now based in Jakarta, temporarily staying in Pluit, Jakarta Utara. Deciding to come to Jakarta to start fresh was easy. It was the next logical step to achieve a better (meaning probably-richer) life. But adjusting life from a small…
What A Feeling
Today my little Yaris made one further milestone: reaching 100,000kms on the odometer. As an idea, a full trip around the earth will cover roughly 40,000kms. So that means in a straight line, I would have driven around the earth two and a half times. In nearly 5 years time.…
I Am Bird Hater
“*!@!#%^!^” That’s exactly how I felt when I walked up towards my parked car at work just now. What on earth was happening? There were like 5 drops of birds’ poo on my car. What the heck, were they partying or something on the roof of my car. Or did…
A Warm Welcoming of Winter
I’ve always enjoyed driving. Especially on late nights like this, down the long, quiet esplanade lined up with city lights. But I’m not feeling lonely tonight, for your voice fills up in my mind like musical train on a cold wintry night. Autumn has gone, swept away by winter. Nevertheless,…
The Rain And The Wind
Chinese New Year is just around the corner now. This year I’ll spend it with my parents and sisters. In Indonesia! Yes, I’m going back this Sunday early morning for around two weeks. And I’ve been busy doing chores at home in the evening for the past few days. Need…
43,000 Kms Later
Today is my Yaris’ 43,000 kms service. I arrived at the dealer about a quarter to 9. Not until when the staff asked for my driving license did I realise that I’ve forgotten my wallet at home. D’oh!! Without my driving licence, they won’t let me rent the courtesy car.…
Smile, You’re on Google!
Google Maps has just launched Street View for its map service for Australia. Now everyone with internet connection can pay me a visit. If you happen to go to Philip Island, Frankston, or Wilson Prom, please drop by my office. The surrounding area is green and has plenty of fresh…
East Link Is Now Open
Been a while since I last updated my blog. Nothing much going on with my life right now, or at least nothing dramatic. One thing changed is that since June 29, Victoria’s latest tollway, East Link is open to public. East Link is a 39km tollway connecting Frankston to Mitcham.…
Chasing Sunset
Ever since daylight savings ended last Sunday, my driving home trip become more challenging than ever because of the blinding afternoon sunlight. Even my car sun shield can’t even block the sun because it’s so low near the horizon already by the time I finish work. And my sunnies isn’t…
