I go to pesta blogger 2008
Tomorrow I will be off to Pesta Blogger 2008 in Jakarta. Yay, I am home again. I have to thank my pretty Prof for this. She has made it possible for me to go abroad against all odds (the rule is for a person in my position the uni will never fund us to go to seminars or other academic related functions held abroad).
She has been so nice to me despite my acute procrastinating habit. Hope she is not traumatized in supervising a procrastinator which is me.
So, Jakarta wait for me. It’s been a year since the last time I went there. I hate that city for its ‘macet’ or horrendous traffict jam. If things go smooth, my plane will land at three pm and it is likely I will get trapped in a heavy macet to get to Tebet where I will be staying during my Jakarta visit. But who cares. The most important thing is I can go home. Can’t wait to pamper my tongue with my home country myriads of mouth wateringfingerlickingfeelsgoodpocketfriendlysexytasted dishes. I miss the pengamen (street musicians) whom I never find in my entire stay in Malaysia. But God I hope I will miss the flood (Flood is Jakarta’s infamous yearly disaster and no governor in Jakarta’s modern history has ever succeeded to deal with this problem).
What I am going to do at the Pesta Blogger is essentially to make contact with blogger tanah air (home country’s bloggers) and interview some of them. This part I like it very much. I love talking to people. Yet, I hate it when I have to write a mini academic paper on it. I hate writing (academic paper).
But I will have fun. Hope I meet interesting people over there.
