Birthday - Indonesia / Malaysia

One thing i find it very different from Indonesia and Malaysia when some friends birthday.

In M'sia, when a friend birthday, we'll (few good friends) will ask him/her out for lunch/dinner and we'll share the bill excluding the birthday boy/girl.

In Jakarta, it's totally opposite, when i'm birthday, that's the day i try not to let my friends know. (Thanks to Facebook/Friendster, now everybody knew my birthday even 3 days before).

The birthday boy/girl has to be the one who invite everyone (if in office) to have lunch or dinner and he/she has to pay the bill.. no sharing of bill.

Ha.. Maybe i should go back to KL when it's birthday and come back to Jkt when my friends' birthday..

regards,
GS.
