'Posh' second trip, Jakarta


Posh, my bag holder had her second overseas trip. She was seen in Jakarta holding my bag at a meeting. She really is v handy and a v good companion of my bag. She is making sure that my bag does not gather dust sitting on the floor.

Found another girl's best friend in her...lol!

The worst co-passenger on a plane

Recently i went back to jakarta for a business trip. It was a short trip and much to my surprise i had fun and for the first time, i truly enjoyed the food of jakarta. I also liked where i stayed, a small guesthouse but has hotel-like facilities, except for the non-existent wireless connection. I guess there has to be one thing that will not make you happy.

Well i thot that was the only thing i would not like in this trip. But alas, something or should i say someone did manage to make my return plane ride so uncomfy that i almost wanted to shout to the pilot, can you please stop and i'll wait for the next flight. LOL! I had the misfortune of sitting beside this passenger who all throughout the flight did only three things: picked his nose (about half of the time), eat the food served to him (about 5 minutes only), and scratched his head (the other half). It was really so yucky and so rude that i was so tempted to ask to be seated somewhere else. I had to hide behind the Strait Times and managed to finish reading it from cover to cover. LOL! I thot i had seen the worst when i had a co-passenger before on an Air India flight that took off his shoes and lie down and made use of the empty seat as well beside me. I was horrified back then and i am more horrified now with this guy. It did not help that he looked a bit scary so I dare not even look at his face. I wished i could have an excuse to take a photo of him picking his nose so i could send it to SIA and tell them to please make sure i dont get to travel with this guy much less seat beside him next time i travel to jakarta. I could not even eat my food during the flight.

What about you? What was your worst co-passenger?

First overseas trip for 'Posh'



Recently I managed to find a bag holder. I just liked this so much that it is always inside my bag. It joined about 10 other stuff as part of my 'must haves' before I go out of the house. And it is so useful and makes dining out and seating in cramped spaces cool as I can now hang my bag and not worry about dirty carpets, dirty floors and falling bags or leaving it behind. This I think is the second best invention, next to internet. I just hope it was a woman who first thought of making this bag holder.

Now I will include chronicles of 'Posh'- a nickname for my bag holder as she travels in this blogsite. Her first trip was to Hanoi, Vietnam last December 28-31, 2008.
