short trip to Jakarta
Last week I followed my mom to Jakarta. She had a business trip and I just tagged alone since I have nowhere to go during this holiday.
A breathtaking scene before landing in Jakarta Airport!
Well, Jakarta is a damn boring place. Only for shopping and their things aren't cheap at all! Need to bargain and the price we get the most is about the price we get in Timesquare, or even higher than that.
The hotel we stayed was very comfortable. They even have free Wifi in every floor! Unlike here we have to pay for the Wifi.
Our first night dinner. Bought by the Doctor, Dr Patricia, at Indonesia working under MMC. She brought us to this famous seafood restaurant, where we can choose the food we wanted, live and fresh, only then we are served with this. 3 different types of cooking for the crabs, tonnes of prawns and shells seafood! Major love!
The second day, followed my mom to her business function. Have nothing to do at all! After the function, we just went back to hotel and get some rest.
Then we become adventuress. We tried to discover the place. Went to a mall for shopping. Search for food. How funny we have our dinner at a stall nearby, which is chinese food. I wanted to find their traditional food/local food over there, but I saw this stall so we ate there.

After that we just go back room and rest, because the mall only open until 8pm -_-!!!
3rd day morning is our shopping day. It was raining and place was flooded around my area. We went to Mangga Dua Square I guess. When the people there know you are tourist, they slash up the price even more than double up the price. I guess I am hell of a good bargain. I don't know where I learn my skill from. Definitely not from my mom.
How to bargain? When they give you a price, your bargain should start from half of the price, or lower. I am not kidding. I bargain and I get half of the price the seller first gave me. A big headache shopping in Indonesia, especially due to their currency! Roughly around RM1=3000rupiah
So I finally had the one I wanted, Ayam Penyet! A very famous local food! Well, the taste is almost the same over here in Malaysia. Only that the chilli is superb! Super duper spicy but feel damn good after eating it. When it first go into my mouth, the spiciness actually caused me numbness in the brain, like brain numb. But it don't stopped me from having more.
At night for dinner, Dr Patricia brought us to another restaurant famous for satay. First shop wasn't open, so she brought us to another place. I love the environment there! I love the food more! All famous traditional and local food.
Avocado juice!!! Seriously my favorite! The fruit juice there very pure. They don't add any extra water. This avocado juice is soooo thick! I miss the one I had in Vietnam. Almost the same but I think Vietnam one nicer cause they add in milk.
Last night in Jakarta, we had a photo with Dr Patricia and her son, Gareth. He is totally a gentlemen. On first night upon arrival, we straight headed for dinner at the restaurant together with our luggage. He offered to help us carry even thought he is only 11 years old! And every time we want to get up or get down a car, he will open the car door for us! Such a gentlemen in his age. I think most probable because he studied in international school.
Last day-back to Malaysia
One last thing that really pissed me off before I came back Malaysia. We called a taxi from hotel to airport. My mom was trying to spent all the small change of rupiah currency. The taxi fare was 75400 Rupiah. I gave him 100400 since I don't have change anymore. I expect him to give me 25000 rupiah back. Then he just say 'Terima Kasih'. I was like: where is the change? Then he act stupid and say 'Terima Kasih' again. For a second I really feel like whack him. During the journey, I kinda feel pity for him because he says how hard earning a living in Jakarta bla bla bla. I was thinking should I give him the change as his tips. Well, if that was my money I am fine. I was asking my mom did she wants back the change or give him. My mom was quite blurred. But that was my mom hard earn money. My mom will even save up 20 cents if she can. SO I asked him back for change. He gave me 20000 rupiah at last when we taking our luggage and we were in hurry so I just lazy to ask back the 5000.
25000 rupiah maybe small for us but my sympathy for him totally gone when he don't even want to give me back the change. Maybe I'll say keep the change if he return the money for me. But I just fired up when he pretend and act stupid. My mom don't order drink when she hard lunch just to save RM 1. I just can't leave it. Unless that was my hard earn money, maybe I don't mind.
So to those who want to go Indonesia, spare some small change for the taxi ride. Don't spent all the small change like my mom. If you want to give tips to them, that's totally up to you. Beware of the taxi you took. Good reputation will be 'Blue Bird' or 'White Horse', told by the local there. But the one I took was 'Blue Bird'! I can't imagine the charges and attitude if I took any other taxi.
Food at the airport is just so blaaa...
Jakarta trip was OK due to the food and Dr Patricia who so willing to spent her time with us, bring us around and with good food. She is a aesthetic in Jakarta. A very big difference between the rich and the poor. The rich will have 3-4 maids at home. 1 for cleaning the house, 1 for cooking, 1 for washing the cloths, drives etc. If you have a newborn, you can hire nurses. YES! Nurses! You can hired how many nurses you want for your 1 baby. Dr Pat says she got 2 nurse for her kid when they were born. She has 3 maids at home! 2 drivers!!! Their pay is much more cheaper than here. After conversion, house maid only cost around RM 200 a month!
Some times, feeling pity for the poor is just a waste of our time. They just love their living standard now, so why bother to feel pity for them.
I love the blue sky, that's why I like taking flight.

Liese Bubble Hair Colour
I just can't wait so I dye my hair the day after I received my June MIVVA Beauty Box!!!
With Liese (pronounce as lee-say), hair dye is a very simple process. Even without going to hair saloon, you will have a great hair colour! I have heard of Liese before but never use before, because I haven't dye my hair since birth. This is the first time and I am going to do it myself.
I got creamy beige and I think it will be very suitable for me especially I am first time hair dyer. Not so fancy and overrated for me!
It is a very simple process. Easy to DIY. You can also search the tutorial in youtube. THIS is the video I watch before I did the dye. So just read the simple manual. If you have a sensitive skin, do a sensitive test before you dye your hair. I skip the step cause I think I won't have the sensitive problem.
Very simple. Just mix ingredient 1 into the transparent bottle, tilted your bottle up and down, GENTLY, for 5 times. Insert the pink cap and it is ready to be used.
Just before the hair dye, you can see my hair already have some brownish colour. I never dye my hair before, it is my natural hair colour. So change into a shirt that you don't mind being stained and apply some oil-based cream around your forehead and behind the ear and neck to prevent staining too.
You can see there is not much bubble. Mainly because my hair is too thick and too long. I am actually thinking 1 bottle of Liese is not enough for my hair. But I just don't care and use it all. The smell is quite harsh when it is near you but not as harsh as those in hair saloon. So make sure don't take your hair in front of your face during the process. Leave it for 30-40 minutes.
Rinse it off, apply shampoo and and rinse-off treatment provided in Liese box. Ta-da!!!
The end result of Liese Bubble Hair Colour!!! My hair look so damn healthy! So smooth and I don't know why. Maybe is because of the bubble hair dye itself or maybe because of the rinse-off treatment provided by Liese. This colour will only be obvious under the sun. I have been at home whole day and no one noticed I had a hair dye. hahaha!
Now my hair don't look do dry and unhealthy anymore. It also give a reddish-brownish look under the sun. I'm gonna wait for few more days for the colour to wear off a bit and I think it will be more obvious. And 1 bottle of Liese bubble hair colour is enough for my long, thick hair!
After hair dye, my hair is not dry at all! Unlike a lot of myth saying your hair will be destroyed or dry after dye. It is actually very manageable and I like it a lot! When wind blow, my hair just wave in the air. Felt so great actually!

Elective attachment-Oncology
I haven't blog for such a long time! So I going to start from the most recent one.
I have been doing my elective 2 in Mahkota Medical Center(MMC) since holidays started. I have choose Oncology for the specialty. It has been a very good experience for me. It actually like me have a very deep thought. Everyday I see different type of patient presented to the clinic. Some so keen for treatment and how hard they seek treatment just to prolong their life. They travel so far just to seek the best treatment for them, especially a lot of them travel all over from Indonesia. Some of them who don't want treatment, seek for those unproven alternative, then later presented with the worst scenario and then only they willing to accept the evidence based treatment.
From there I also see human nature. How cruel is reality. If there is ever a God, I don't think he will treat the people like this.So much of suffering. Yet when they praised God for everything and not blame God for having the illness, I loss my understanding.
Cancer is curable disease, when it is in early stage and you treat it early. The most scary part of cancer is there is possibility of recurrence. Don't wait until too late because it is not painful. because things that is not painful is those who is more dangerous.
I might really get crazy for this split personalities. I have to think like a doctor yet I can't help to think like those people/patient who don't know anything. Tried to explain but not everyone will accept. A lot people have misconception.
"it's human nature to blame other people instead of ourselves"
Off topic!
Today MMC organise nurses day and have lunch treat for all the nurse. So I follow the clinic nurse for lunch. Only 2 weeks and we bond really well! I really have fun at there, with people there. At first I only plan to attach 2 weeks. 2 weeks passes way too fast. So I decided to attach for another week. Everyday just past so fast.
