烧香拜佛我还活


75% 的雅加达都被水淹了,我是幸运的25%, 也可能是10%吧!

第一:水没淹到我家-我住公寓高楼
第二:有电,有水-没有电我怎么上网?没有水-如何上大小号?洗澡?不行!
第三:有钱 - 嘿!不是我炫耀,新加玻人来这里全都是亿万富翁。不信?
ok, lets calculate : 比如你很穷,只有S$1000 在POSB
S$1000 x Rp 5900 = Rp 5 900 000!
亲爱的,来到这里,你的身价爆涨,是个亿万户。
这里的工资,比方说一个佣人,每个月的月资是 Rp 250 000 ,秘书月资是Rp 2 500 000。
第四:有饭,肉,菜,水果,零食,食用水
朋友好惨,普通一瓶AQUQ 平时卖Rp 9500 ,因为附近缺水,卖了强盗价Rp 50 000 !

比上不足,比下有余。所以,朋友,惜福啊!

Flooding days in Jakarta. Bad. TV was saying as high as 2 metres. Areas like Bogor, Bundung worst. This is the most seriuos diaster i have seen since i came here 2 1/2 years ago.
The man walking was sitting on the boat a momnt ago. This is actually the entrance to a University, just opposite my condominium. Apparently he asked the men (i would assume is the security guides to row him out of the school, who else would have access to a boat?). Wonder how much he paid them.
Just did a stock check on food supply:
  • a newly bought 5-kg rice
  • 3/4 full AQUA water (in case anyone ask, we dare not boil the tap water here so those who can afford always drink AQUA, per gallon Rp 9500)
  • 1 kg of raw fatty pork meat (asked Chen to help me buy from market last saturday)
  • 3 canned foods (sardine, pork, zha chai)
  • 1/2 pkt mushroom, ikan bilis, 2 pears...etc.

Guess can last for few days. Will go check see whether got vegetables at HERO tomorrow or not, seem like no rain tonight.

No rain=no flood=car can move=got fresh vegetables

She bought the last bunch of vegetable



Went to HERO this morning, it looks like diaster is coming soon. A sense of panick passed through me. My imagination went wild : if the flood is not going to subside the next few days, i will run out of my 1 kg of pork, my canned foods....

So, i grabbed the red basket & started to do some marketing.

Went to the vegetable counter, nothing green there except for a last bunch of vegetable(i think the name is ji chang-for decoration on top of steam fish). Below are the things that are out of stock :

  • potatoes
  • eggs (3 broken one left)
  • Yakult
  • green vegetables or long beans
  • canned sardines & others (shelves almost empty so unable to identify what is missing)
  • Instant noodles (Indo Mee almost all gone-so Indonesian mainly love this brand)
  • Rice left 30 or 40 pkts

Lucky for me, still able to grab some canned food (2 cans of mushroom, 1 baked bean, 1 mushroom soup), 1 pkt of Indomilk, apple juice, a bar of Queen chocolate.

Hmmm, as a precaution-in case i get bored at home, i also bought my favourtite Seng Kong (titbits-i seldom eat chips but this is different, damn crispy, u should try)

Total amount spent is Rp 99.715 (arount S$17)

While queuing up, saw this mother-daughter gang behind me. They bought the last greenary on the shelves :)

This lady in front of me also very cute . Guess she is very bored while waiting (i must admit, took about 5 to 10 minutes), she looked around her & saw this bunch of bananas deserted by somebody. She grabbed & placed it inside her basket.

Hey! That was easy shopping. So, i did the same by looking around me on the floor. Baskets are lying around without owners & the staffs are all very busy, no one bother to replace those food inside the basket to the shelves.

Towels? No, i don't need it. Bread? Eeerr, looks distorted, no way am i going to eat it. After surveying for a while to kill time, i gave up. Nothing i needed or looked appealing to me.

Oh! That photo on top,it had nothing to do with the supermarket shopping lah. Just a photos i took 2 days ago outside my apartment. I like the colour of the umbrella. Bring some colours to this groomy day, don't you think so?

Latest new: no school tomorrow for my kids.
