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.

1 day?? You'll be so jet-lagged the first day you won't be able to see
anything. Jakarta is not a great city but it deserves more than 1 day.

I dont know the best way to get from Jakarta to Java

It's easy. Take a breath. Presto, you're there. Jakarta is on Java.

to climb Mt Merapi (assuming it doesnt explode!!).

The authorities won't let you anywhere near it right now.

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

A day in Singapore and a day in Malaysia? By the time you include
travel time you won't leave the airport. Don't try to do so much in one
short trip.

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?

No and yes. You will be disappointed when you return because you spent
so much time travelling you didn't have enough time to enjoy anything.
Slow down.
