Jakarta

Last week I went back to Jakarta for reunion with my high school batch. While I waited for the bus to depart to Citarik, Sukabumi (where the actual reunion was held), I managed to take a few snaps.

Continuing last week’s adventure. This week we took longer route. From Bishan MRT Station, to McRitchie Reservoir and then all the way to Bukit Timah Reservoir.

Here are the pictures.

Ferry Schedule From Singapore To Tanjung Pinang

Last weekend I went to Tanjung Pinang in Bintan Island to visit my cousin. She’s been staying there since 2003 but this will be my first time to visit her (sigh.. what a great cousin I am :-(). She’s staying there with her husband which is working in the Airbase in that town.

 

The ferry from Singapore to Tanjung Pinang departs Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal (take MRT to Bedok, and then take SBS Bus No. 35. The bus’s final stop is the ferry terminal). But since I was in hurry, I took a cab. To my dismay, I must waited for 1.5 hours before the ferry arrives. Unlike Singapore to Batam, the ferry frequency for Singapore to Tanjung Pinang is much less. I hope this schedule can help you to plan your travel better (unlike mine :-))

So I met her with her family. They have a very cute daughter (which makes her the cutest niece I have). She is 1.5 years old and tantrum-ridden toddler :P Need sometime before I could get along with her. But I think she had recognize me as her uncle :P She did cry when I waved goodbye and left for Singapore (which I don’t know whether she cried because her father or me, since my brother-in-law accompanied me going to the harbor)
