Default Trip across asia - includin indonesia malaysia singapore and thailand

This is a long post guys - be warned.

i recently decided to doing a trip across some of asia during a span of 2
weeks. now before ppl tell me its too short a period of time please
understand i dont get alot of vacation. i keep track of posts on this site
and find it alot more useful than some articles on the net.

this is my itenerary so far.
I plan to visit Jakarta from Canada for a day. I dont know the best way to
get from Jakarta to Java to climb Mt Merapi (assuming it doesnt explode!!).
i'd like to know the names of a couple of trekking agencies that do the
peaks of these mountains without doing 21day or 6 day treks. i dont have the
time. perhaps 1-2 days max.
After that i plan on going to Bali for some beginner scuba diving thing for
a day. Does anyone have any recommendations on this?

After that hopefully a day visiting Singapore and a day in malaysia followed
by a few days in Thailand visiting Phuket ( i saw some pretty good trips on
http://www.phuket-travel.com/water_a...ge=rafting.htm but if
anyone has recommendations im more than willing to check it out) then
Bangkok before flying back to Toronto.

What do you think? doable or too hectic?

Cheers
