Arrival at Jogja~

It's 2.30pm for us, but 1.30pm in Jogja.
***watches "screwing" and handphone resetting are in progress...***

Meanwhile, stomach was 'screwing' also.
The first request to our LO, Derrick -- "please bring us for lunch!"
haha...from his expression, I could sense that this is not part of their planning.
(this is the first sign of 'problematic Malaysian', more traces upcoming...) xP

So we were brought to this restaurant, called Lombok Idjo...which is quite near to our hotel.
It's just beside the main road, and the environment here quite good and comfortable for a fine dining...

Derrick reminded us that the sambel is very spicy, I thought he forgot that we are Malaysians,
but later I realized...

Thanks to Irshad, our ordering process was quite smooth and easy... :P
so we have Tahoe Goreng, Tempe Goreng, Sayur Asam, Ayam Penjet (+sambel Idjo) with white rice.
As for the name, I ordered Es Limoen Semriwing, and later I found out it's only Ais Limau Kasturi.
Derrick, our LO, is the one in red circle.
Who patiently waited for us and tried to be nice for every of our request. >.<

The Ayam Bakar is awesome! We presumed it might be ayam kampung, and the way it barbecued made it sooo delicious~
The sambel is extremely hot and spicy! if not because of the competition the day after, I would enjoy it to the max!!!
We liked the sup asam sayur as well!

Guess how much each of us spent on our first lunch? Around MYR 6 only!

Next, we headed to Sri Waderi Hotel, which is located just beside the main road.
The decoration at lobby looked classical with the carving on ceiling, wall and pillars, the old typewriter, the ancient family portrait, etc..

To reach our room, we need to walk outdoor for some distance from the lobby...
Luckily it was raining so we took an MPV provided by the hotel.

Our lecturer's double-bed-room is attached with living area, where we were studying (the first night), gossiping (post-competition), and killing time (while waiting for the delayed schedule)...
If not mistaken, it costs only MYR 233 for 3 nights...

While 3-4 students are sharing for a standard room.


There is a statue divided into two near the entrance of our hotel, and this design is almost everywhere in Balinese temples.
According to local belief, the devil will not be able to pass through this 'door'.

Oh ya, Derrick bought us handphone SIM card from XL Axiata.
Different numbers cost differently from 5k-10k rupiah per card, we guess it might due to different popularity of the number.
We topped up IDR30k (MYR10), but i could hardly use up the credit!

Tips taught by Irshad:
When making international call, it will be cheaper if we add "01000" in front of 6017xxxxxxx.
