Short Note: A quarter of 2008 is gone!! Today's the 1st time I felt like wanna shed some tears due to the work stuff. I know I can get through it. I've experienced similar moments in my life before. For me, depression breeds stronger determination and energy. I had the hardest studying year in 2004 for postgraduate courses and research, but that's the only time I could score 7/7 CGPA.

Our meeting with XL was scheduled at 9:30am on 28 March 2008 (Friday). After taking breakfast and checking out the room, we caught a cab to XL.
A project manager who has been to Indonesia a lot of times, told me that Kartika Candra Hotel is very near to XL. I thought they are just within walking distance from each other.
I was wrong.
No matter how, I can always find way to enjoy the journey. Although it was pretty jammed, it's another opportunity for me to snap some photos :)
The buses there looked pretty old and kinda broken. Regardless of its big size, it still could do whatever it wanted. Pretty amazing ^_^
We arrived about 20 minutes later.
Then we waited for TS (sales person from Singapore) at the lobby. That's my first time meeting with him after some email correspondences.
After registration and getting the visitor pass, we went up to Level 15.
The meeting started only at 9:50am, due to some waiting, introduction session, and I borrowed a person's PC with Internet access to send some docs completed the night before, back to company.
The meeting attendees were quite nice, not hard to deal with. They just pronounced some words a little differently from us.
YH was the main person doing the presentation whilst I helped to take minutes. Her adaptability was strong. At the beginning, she pronounced MAP (Mobile Application Part) as "mæp". Later, she followed them to say it as "mup" (the exact Malay way of pronunciation).
Because it was Friday, the meeting ended at around 11:30am, as per requested. Sometimes I really find it funny to travel all way here just for a less-than-2-hours meeting. Nonetheless, a lot of things can be clarified much easily when meeting face-to-face.

We were with Silver Bird on the first day, then Blue Bird on the second day.

Previously, the bus was on the LHS (left hand side).
It then crossed over the divider, to the RHS (right hand side), for a smoother lane.
The people in Jakarta.

A little glass reflection spoils the image, huh!

These are YH and TS, trying to get a taxi after the meeting, while I was taking the limited time to shoot the kids selling newspapers around that area.
The things I like to snap in every country include the public transports, people, market etc. Police car is one of the many.
Will the kids selling newspapers become just an adult selling newspapers, many years later?
