Black Monday

Too Bored...black Monday lagi. I dont know wat to do. Ammended budjecting MICCOS for BKP, fax to accountant, wrote memo to UKSK regarding the stand by gen-set and reading journals..Arghhh!!! so dull and gloomy. Anything more can I do??? Kemarin, entertain Pak Karyudi sebelum dia berangkat pulang ke Medan. Listened to his excitement experiences at Genting, his bussiness negotiation of technology uptake by the own state and private plantation in his country, his eagerness of trip throughout Malaysia for 3 days here, his hope for Malaysian-Indonesian collaboration etc...happy listened to his enjoyment.

29 April-5 May 2007 Took leaved for 3 days and we got 7 days vacation to Medan, Indonesia. When we departed at Polonial Airport at 8.15 am, there were 2 officers and 2 pak supir from IRRI were waiting for us with 2 Toyota MPV (locals named it "Kijang"). We were brought to have breakfast with locals dish so called pecal..it different from Malaysian pecal (almost sayur with kuah kacang only)..but Indonesian pecal were added with mee suaw and some kind of nasi impit that were wrap with banana leaves...also hot and spicy kuah kacang...perghhh...sedap juga. After that we went to Pajak (pasar) Ikan. There are no fish there but a lot of batiks, lace, telekong, and jilbab ala2 Bu Arini...heheh..already spent 60% of our budject for only half a day here. Finished shopping we were paid for lunch with minang dishes at Bt. Tinggi Restaurant..I'm confused with so many lauk especially from sapi...ada otak sapi lemak kuning with local fruits juice like markisa, alpukat (avocado), terung ...
