Catching up wif old friends...

Yesterday was kinda special for me...coz...unlike the rest of my holiday, I met my secondary school friends in Jakarta, Aileen and Ria....For me, it was a day full of anticipation, coz i really havent seen them for quite a long time....
They are the only 2 friends that I'm still comfortable wif and fortunately, I can connect to though we have parted and live different lives....

Apart from that, wad interesting was, it was my first trip taking busway....haha....
yeah, yeah,....for some ppl, that was not something to be proud of or someting unusual. But it's different for me...I've been a very sheltered and protected gurl that i rarely get the chance to take public transport in Jakarta.....I assure u it's very different form S'pore.... Actually for those who noes me and my family background, I'm sure it may not be a surprise to you....I grew up from a family who thinks that we have to be cautious and alert all the time....all abt forward looking and preparedness...so, like it or not, it's been implanted in my heart, soul, brain, basically evrywhere that safety is the best policy...yup, that's rite...
yeah, and back to the main point about taking busway....I must admit that, it is actually not bad at all considering that it's in Indo....Got air con, quite clean, i dun meet anybody disturbing me or doing any crime....so i assume it's OK...haha... yeah, no regret taking it, coz it's also affordable, Rp 3500...
The lesson I learn here, be willing to step out of your comfort zone, to experience the outside world that may not be as safe as your own but it's worth trying coz u'll find a lot of things that u can learn from... Maybe this story of me taking busway is not such a big deal as it sounds but, it teach me quite something...

And then, the rest of the outing wif my frenz was really fun....Though we din do any shopping....basically we eat and chat, walk and chat, haha chat till we drop... It's exciting to noe abt their lives which is very different from me....but, the great thing is that, we are still on the same channel...same frequency....like the same things, talk abt the same things....haha...so it was simply GREAT!

okiez....i think it's enuf for now...gonna post when i got more to tell...
