On Vacation


After working at some weekends since January, traveling in challenging roads to remote places and generally busy, your corrrespondent decided to take 10 days off and chill out.



So what does your correspondent do on vacation? Well not too much this time. So far, your correspondent is becoming a full time taxi driver for the kids, becoming well-versed in trying (focus is on trying) to restore a 1996 C-Class Mercedes Benz and balancing his financial condition.



Before starting off, it should be mentioned that the bbq on Sunday was a good one. Families came along and he thinks he managed to convert a few to succumb to the temptations of wines and cigars :)



The taxi run so far is quite taxing. In the process, he noticed that maybe he needs to wean Stuttgart's finest off the 88R and go back to 92R. Today he was told that the retail price of 92R has dipped just below Rp. 9,000 again. The gap has closed...



He is also building a checklist of the improvements which he is keen to do on his W 202. The car is beginning to have that nice smooth and shiny feel to the body. Guess all those biweekly trips to Medicars at Pondok Indah Mall begins to pay off.



Has your correspondent managed to escape the shackles of work? Well he is quite proud to admit that he only read and replied to four work-related emails on his first official leave day. The phone is switched off so he is not immediately contactable.



So far so good, let's see what other "homeworks" your correspondent will get tomorrow ...
