Mega nurses cold with action

JAKARTA: After canceling all her appointments in the past two- days due to a sore throat, President Megawati Soekarnoputri decided to spend her time watching two Hollywood movies.

Action flicks Terminator 3 and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle were her choice while she was absent from the presidential office.

Taking most of her guards and personal aides in tow, she watched the movies at the Usmar Ismail cinema center in Kuningan, South Jakarta.

"The President likes watching movies, and she watches many movies including Bollywood (Indian) movies here," one of the members of the presidential staff said.

Megawati canceled all of her appointments on Thursday and Friday as she could hardly speak due to a severe cold. She is scheduled to return to work on Monday.--JP
