Trip to Jakarta

2 days after my POP, 8 of us, Steven, John, Tyler, Sam, man, khai, Farhan and me when for a 4 days 3 night trip to Jakarta. It was a exciting trip for me because it's my first time being to Jakarta and I do not know what to expect over there, except that I am a Millionaire LOL. (Since the exchange rate for Singapore to Rupiah is 1:6579 and I change a total of SGD$350 which makes me a millionaire overnight :)).

Over there the culture is different, especially food/fast food. Heard from Steven, he says that people in Indonesia like to eat rice so every meal bound to have rice on the table. Same goes for fast food, unlike menu in Singapore, they serve rice meal in KFC, A&W and so on. Also the thing there are quite cheap, especially their local meals, it like 2 to 3 SGD to settle a normal meal.

Other than food, the clothes there are also quite cheap, we can even find shirt which cost less than 5 dollars in a shopping mall, and the shopping mall is much much bigger than suntec city and vivo city! Now you can imagine how big is the shopping mall and the structure is also very grand but who knows, they sell cheap stuff too! (For certain shops only LOL, the rest are about the same as Singapore)

On the second night I went for clubbing, it's my first time that I went to clubbing, and I did not know what to expect. First before we went in, we have to pay entrance fees of 100K rupiah which is round SGD$15. The music is very loud until I can feel my heartbeat bouncing. At first I did not use to it but as times goes by, I started moving along and dance with the beat. Then we order alcohol which cost around 200K per person. Well Also this is my first time drinking alcohol, and it doesn't taste good I can still remember how it taste like.

After drinking, we went up to the dance floor at second floor. Off course we start to dance. It was definitely fun dancing with your friends. But we often drift apart because people might go through between us and dance so naturally I dance together with some strangers. Well we dance for like 3 hours LOL first time I have dance for so long.

Overall the trip to Jakarta was definitely FUN!!!! I have experience a lot of things and also thanks to Steven sister and her boyfriend/husband I don't know cause did not ask, for bringing us around Jakarta as our tour guide!

Hope OCT can organize more of this overseas event again!
