Transition

Mandi pagi tidak biasa
Mandi sore tidak biasa
Tidak mandi sudah biasa
Badan Bau luar biasa

Remember Yoan Tanamal? *jadul banged* Sing that song with the melody of her song, if not mistaken the title is "Mandi Pagi". If you don't know who Yoan Tanamal is, means that you haven't been reaching enough age to read my blog, please ask your parents consent *devil smile* wakakaka becanda dinks...Please don't ask me where did I do my kindergarten, if my teacher found out about that song, they would kill me for bringing shame to my almamater *wicked smile*, for sure it's one of Christian school in Jakarta..keep on guessing mate ...wakakkakaka...and for you who are not Indonesian, too bad lah ya...so convert to become Indonesian lah *encourage* (will I get endorsement from Indonesian Foreign Ministry or not? wakakakka...)
Anyway, fast rewind, 6 years and about 4 months ago, I was travelling in a tour group Java, Bali and Lombok by lands, and I had to share room with my partner in crime in Jakarta and her sister for about 2 weeks, so 3 of us in a room, share a bathroom, no problem at all...at that time take a bath is a basic needs, habits....I still didn't know what the importance of applying moisturiser every day, I only bring my sun block with me, that's all...
Fast forward, 6 years and 4 months later, last week end to be exact, I have to share a hotel room with my new recruit of partner in crime, only 1 nite, and I found problem of sharing bathroom, as both of us see bath is not a basic need anymore, bt more to luxurious need, a ritual. We need to spend longer hours in the bathroom...and moisturise properly, and I know the body and face moisturiser is different, so the amount of things that I have to bring when I stay outside my house is increased tremendously...*blush*
Anyway...long week end here in Singapore...so I would like to inform you that I'm going to Timbuktu Island again *innocent smile*.....It's play time...don't miss me, I'll be back next week...and have a nice week end *hugs*

Nasib orang siapa tau?

Before I start, let me tell you I've changed the song in my blog, the title is "Mas Que Nada" it was an old song by sergio mendes, but this one is remix version by Sergio Mendes still featuring Blak Eyed Peas..I always like this songs since the old version, sounds quite sexy though...
I received a shocking email from my friend. Let me introduce his background first, I met him in Junior High School, he held the top student position every year without failed during Junior high school meanwhile me, in top 15 enough lah ya...*nyengir*
We were in the same class on year 3 junior high school, where I got to know him closer, simply because every algebra and geometry class, we always spent time together outside the class, grounded by the teacher. The first 4 weeks of the class, the teacher held evaluation test for the class, the result came out 3 of us, me, him and another friend, always scored high, so the teacher said to us,"You're too good to be inside the class, please stay outside when I'm teaching the class.."
Yupe, not fair, but we were happy enough to be outside....We went to the same Senior high school, I mean he and me, but the other guy I didn't know where he is...during the senior high school, he also performed well, always in top 3, but me of course quite far behind lah ya....
He always be sent for representing school for all those magic competition (math, chemistry, physics olympic), even could reach up to world competition. When we were graduated, not being able to go to Japan by scholarship, he tried to struggle his own, and I knew finally he got scholarship from japan university, and lately I met him, he is doing his PhD on scholarship also, and still in Japan *ngelap keringet*
I still remember freshly all the silly jokes we share outside the class when we were grounded, on first year of senior high school, we were team mates in Biology lab, and when we had to cut all those animal (lizard, frog, pigeon and rabbit), he just stay away from the table and held his handkerchief tightly to his mouth and looking very pale, with watery eyes, so I just simply told him,"Stay away, let me do the dirty job..." Yupe I was cold blooded at that time...*blush*
Suddenly I received an email from him saying,"Hey, I'm moving to Singapore next June to become assistant Proff at NTU.." *gubraks*
I replied his email still in a shock state of mind,"Is it hard to get a job in Japan? Why do you have to move to Singapore..."
He replied,"I've got a few offers down here, but still Singapore is offering the best, besides, my family all are in Singapore.."
Still speechless until now, I replied,"Okay...see you in June..."
Gilaaaaa... that cute little Henry? Assistant Proffessor? *pingsan*
I knew that he will be in academic sector, but assistant proffesor? my own friend? and now? waduh...masih shock *pingsan lagi*
I wonder how's the other guy doing, Shintooooo where are you mate? Don't tell me if you become Proffessor that Henry has to assist? *siap2 pingsan*
Can't be lah yaa.....but who knows what tomorrow will hold? rite mate?

Rontok

Being forced to exercise thru the whole week end, yesterday morning I felt my body disintegrated...like every parts has been fallen apart, piece bu piece *sigh*
Actually not forces my self lah, just tried my best to use the facilities that I had during week end. I swam on Saturday afternoon, and Sunday morning (which includes sun tanning session of course, remembering my new recruit of partner in crime is in the mission to get more tan *sigh*)
Still felt strong, Sunday nite, I went to the driving range to practice, even though arriving there then I realised that I'd forgotten that I left my gloves in the office for washing, I just tought,"One time play without gloves won't do any harm.."
As usual, I bought 45 balls, being excited with my best performance (in Singapore) so far, but I could reach further when I was in Sydney though, I bought another 45 balls *blush*
But after Ball number 60, I felt very tired, partly because the weather so humid after the afternoon rain, my shirt was drenched with sweat, felt like taking off my shirt, considering there was nobody behind me and only 1 uncle quite far in front of me *nyengir* but considering the uncle might have a break anytime, I tried not doing that lah, later on if he fainted, I don't know what to do wakakakka...may be I hav to make a break thru in golf costume, by wearing bikini ya? wakakkakakka....
So I tried my best to finish all the balls, by taking break every now and then, reaching ball no 80, I couldn't even stand straight any more, when I finished, I had to use the golf club to support my self *sigh*
As a result my skin is very dry and red no because of the swimming and sun tanning, meanwhile my palm also sore because of not wearing the gloves on Sunday *sigh* and of course still feel my whole body ache...Rontok Jooooo

My God Sister Bday Party

Remember my story about my god sista had been spending her holiday mostly with me and my partner in crime? So after considering that she's not up to our standard of being a teenager, I decided to throw a birthday party for her last Saturday. She has turned 18 on last Thursday (I sent sms on Wed though *blush* and nearly forgotten on Thursday *blush again*).
I'd been asking her since a few months back, which club she wants to go for her 18th birthday, as this age is the legal age to go clubbing, so for in here, they celebrate more on 18 or I think 21 is taken more seriously compared with us, Indonesian, 17th...anyway she could't make a choice, luckily, because, even though she asked for going to Ibiza, Spain, I would fulfilled her wish though *nyengir jahat* wakakkaka...hey sista, if you read this posting you must be having a second regret wakkakakkakakkakak....
Anyway, as I found a new recruit for partner in crime, so the party supposed to be 4 of us, and I'd booked a hotel stay as well....unfortunately on Saturday morning I received sms from my sista,"Jie jie, I think I can't come to stay over in your place, coz next week I have a lot of exams, so sorry leh, can postpone the party to next week, instead?"
OMG PDA, after so many co-ordination that I did, she couldn't make it, so I consult my original partner in crime, firstly she said no fun if the birthday gal is not around, but as usual, I know her weaknesspoint, then I shot her by offering to have martini party instead, so she agreed *evil face*
So the party must go on lah, with or without birthday girl, so we hang out in Chijmes on Saturday nite, 3 of us, the first round table convention *wicked smile* gossiped over tapas, martinis, and sangria they drink, but I only tasted a bit of drink, they forbid me to drink, as they scared I got panick attack, besides I also drove...
As a naughty by nature person, of course, I called my god sista from the bar, and we shouted Happy Birthday to her, and told her that we were celebrating her birthday *alasan* and not forgetting to tell her about the hotel stay as well, of course she felt very regret, she asked me why I didn't tell her earlier that I'd booked the hotel, I said,"It's a surprise mah...."
she said,"Can you book the hotel again for my next year birthday?"
My partner incrime shouted,"Yeah, sure for your 28th birthday party..."
God sista,"why have to wait so long?"
I said,"8 is a symbol of prosperity mah, so we have to wait for another 8 lor.." wakakkakakaka....
She said sadly,"Ow okay..."
Doh kasian deh elo....well, we talked till midnite, scared that my car would turned into pumpkin (like cinderella story), we left the tapas bar..no lah...we felt pai seh (=gak enak hati)lah..imagine, when 2 or 3 Indonesian together, what noise that we could produce (eh not me lah ya..I only acted as cheers girl only lah *blush*) and I don't know how many people has already changed from our surrounding table, and they'd asked for last order for food already...
But...when we passed Insomnia (one of the club inside Chijmes), my partner in crime, was tempted to go in, so we went in lah...weleh that place full of hungry men, and chickens, the quality of the singer is the best so far from all the club that I've been to (in Singapore lah of course...), but can't stand those stare from hungry man. We settled down in one corner and dance, suddenly got 2 ang moh (=bule) staring at us with that type of hungry looks, so we did our usual ritual, dance passionately towards each other, so people might tought we are lesbian wakkakkakkaka....and it always work beautifully...
Well, having so much fun on Saturday, but now oh no..it's monday again, I am wondering I didn't get hang over on Sunday, but today instead *sigh*

PMS

Before I start, just wanna talk a bit first about my previous posting, is that mean I have a "Sepa" face now? Just like Singaporean? *pingsan* I always wander about people who has a "Sepa" face before, I can't stop thinking why people have to show their "Sepa-ness", now I think I know, if you live under stress for quite sometimes, then you'll have a "Sepa" face and "Sepa" attitude (for this one touch wood lah ya...don't wanna get this one *amit2*). No wonder, nowadays if go everywhere, people tend to speak Chinese to me *gubraks*
Okay, back to today posting, PMS, another controversial title *nyengir* Since young (when I've started my puberty to be exact), I'd never believed in PMS, just simply because I'd never had it before... I mean that type of moody kinda things lah..so while most of my friends have it, I always wonder, why they can behave such a way during PMS *blush* I always wonder, why I didn't behave such ways, everything was just simply normal for me, no mood change, etc...
Until these pas few years, even these past one year is getting worse, I've started to have PMS Syndrome *gubraks* It's very bloody annoying, because I don't only get mood swing, but the stomach cramps, the body ache, and even my panick attack is getting more frequent *sebel*
Unfortunately, because of stress, it makes my cycles go haywire, which results my PMS is prolonged until only God knows when it will come then stop *sedih* So I suffer worse *sigh*
It's not only me, my partner in crime, she also experience the same, so almost every month, I always received her sms,"Waduh, koq gue gak dapet2 ya, apa gue udah menopouse ape?" *gubrak* wakakkakakka
And almost every month also, she will treat me for celebrating (=syukuran) the postpone of her menopouse, coz finally her got her monthly things wakakakakkaka.....
Anyway, this month, my list has gone to:
* Mood swing --> tick
* migraine --> tick
* abdominal pain --> tick
* hips going to fall down --> tick
* Irregular heart beat --> tick
* Panick attack --> a few time a day
* Wanna kill somebody --> tick (but so far I haven't klled anybody yet *nyengir*)
And till now I'm still waiting to get over this sufferings *sigh*
Latest update, why these blood clients suddenly bombard me with a lot of jobs without earlier notice (even though seldom had any early job schedule from client), but then everybody want their job to be finished as soon as possible, is it going to be another nightmare week end again for me? *sedih*
Happy week end every one *hugs*

Hmmmmm.....

Yesterday I checked some problems that I'd encountered regarding the works with my staff over the phone, to my surprise, she sounded very scared of me, and didn't know how to explain, and tried to defend herself. But actually I just wanted to know what actually happened, and I just tried to find the root of the problem, so that I could give the solution to her *sigh*
Hmmm...I was quite surprised though, so far, in my life, I've never known there is somebody that can be scared of me....I've used to be used by other people instead...and now her? scared of me? Alamak....Or may be now I have some aura of strong charisma *confused*
And then....just right now, my receptionist was asked by me to print something, but she was looking for something, but instead of asking me who seat just right to her room, she asked somebody else? *gubraks*
So she scared of me also, I supposed *bingung* What's happened to me ya? *sambil ngambil kaca ngecek apa gue udah jenggotan dan kumisan*

Unusual Week End

Last Sunday, I went for swimming with my friend, normally I'd never gone swimming with friend, coz my swimming is not that good...and I normally swim to the width not to the length *blush*
But anyway I warned my friend that I'm not a morning person, but she still insisted it's okay, coz she wanted to get tan...so nothing to argue anymore, we arrived at swimming pool at 12.30, not too many people there *phew*
To my surprise she started to apply sun tan lotion on her body *alamak* I only apply the sun block lah....now I've repent from my old days, I want to get fairer skin lah..*grinned*
During my swimming, there were 2 kids under training...I over heard what the coach spoke to them, suddenly I felt sad....I think if I were those kids, I would not come for next week lesson...no encouragement at all....then I realised this is the way Asian people are trained...but then I recalled when I took tennis lesson back in Jakarta, even my coach didn't speak that way...*sigh* Or may be this is Singaporean way, that's why they don't have any good athlete *grinned* wakkakakakka....
As a kay poh (=busy body - hokkian) person, I looked around, wow, I even found hunky boys, only went to swimming pool to sun tan, without swimming at all *surprise*
Weleh people, any kind also have one hor *singlish* That's why I do enjoy people watching wakakkakaka.....
Oh yah..back to the story line lah ya....the result of swimming session um sun tanning...now my skin is very red (my skin will be red first for 3 days, and after that then turned tan *blush*), and I have a rosy cheek, just right below my eyes and only small area...so I look like forever friend now *blush*

Singaporean Family

I was having a late lunch at one of the small restaurant that sells Chinese Herbal Soups. It was quite crowded, so I had to seat in the long table together with 1 Singaporean Family....
While I was enjoying my lunch quietly, suddenly, one of the boys said,"Koko, 7000 divided by 3 how much ar?"
Koko said,"Will have the remainder...can not finish.."
The boy,"Ya hor, I also think so..."
Walau eh...crazy or what? Hareee geneeehh? Asking for 7000 divided by 3? During Saturday lunch on a very long week end holiday? *panick* Didn't they have any other topic to talk about meh? *singlish*
Then one of the mother (I was quite confused, there are 2 young mother but only 1 father, so? wakkakakka... I also thought is it polygamy or what? wkkakakakka...) kept on saying,"Eh traffic police come already.."
But I was wonering how come neither of them run out of the restaurant to go to their car (in Singapore we park use a coupon parking, so usually people doesn't put any coupon, but when somebody shout policeman come, then everybody will run to their car to put coupon parking *sigh*)...then I realised the mother only scared the daughter to finish her food *blush* wakakkakakak...
Come to the end of the stories, the father asked for the bill, then the auntie said about 50 over dollar, I didn't hear exactly how much...then they didn't look happy, they started to count how much the food was, and called the auntie again to explain how could it be 50 over dollars....aiyoh....this type of restaurant, usually the maths is very good one, they can do mental calculation very fast and accurate, coz it's their everyday job...how can they make mistake? *sigh*
Ah...typical Singaporean Family deh ahhh....

Women

Story 1
A few months back, I was accompanying my mom, meeting her friend in Singapore, which daughter also happened to be my schoolmate...actually when I was in Senior High School, then my mom was telling me that girl is actually her friend's daughter, so we become friend, based on her mom and my mom friendship.
In actual fact, I don't really like her, but just because she had to take the bus from outside my place, so every day we walked home together *sigh*
Anyway...during the meeting, which happened in Starbucks, we arrived first, so I bought coffees for us while waiting for them to arrive. I only brought my wallet with me, which size too big to be put inside the pocket, so i just held on to it during conversation, then I realised, eh...why that girl kept on staring on my wallet during conversation, sometime she looked at me, but later on her eye would go to my wallet again *confused*.
I started to observe what's wrong with my wallet, but nothing wrong, tried to observed myself, especially the one near to my wallet but found nothing *sigh* I was quite agitated, inside my heart, I said,"OMG what's happening with her ya?" Finally I switched my eyes to her, and found out...she was carrying Prada bag..
So I tought...oh may be that's why she kept on staring on my wallet...may be she even tought whether my wallet is genuine or fake one wakakakka....then suddenly it just stroke into my mind, by the way her Prada bag is genuine or not ya...given the fact that it's dark puprle in colour, so far I've never seen dark purple, only light purple...ahh...women...eh but I'm not the one who started loh... wakakkkakakak....
Story 2
I was in URS shop in Takashimaya, bought shoes, then when I was queueing in the cashier holding my wallet also *again*, then the customer in front of me are 2 Indonesian, one is young about my age, and the other one about my mom age...
Nah the young one, acted as though she's the richest and the most beautiful girl in the world, you know lah what I mean, that type of style, while in fact she's quite fat *rolling eyes* Then this girl also kept on staring at my wallet, I felt agitated of course, what the hell she thinks she is...
Anyway she also pulled pout her wallet, and it's the same model as me, but then I saw the leather is peeled off in some of the areas...then I started to examine mine, whether got peeled off also or not wakakkakakakka....
Then suddenly stroke to my mind some sentences from the magazine article, the genuine goods doesn't suppose to peel off, or easily damages....so meaning hers is...wakakkakakakkakka.......Women.....eh this time is not started by me lohh.....
I just feel uneasy with women who likes to envy people and try to compare with other people..so what geto loh...lah wong gue gak numpang makan sama dia koq bisa sirik abies kayak gitu...besides...I don't feel the necessity to have branded goods just because it's branded...but in the interaction with my clients, which forces me to at least try to be presentable...I'm much more into t-shirt and jeans type of person lah...
Anyway Happy Easter for you who celebrates, but if you don't then have a nice long week end...

About Me

Wakkakaka lotsa people said,"Lo kayak kebanyakan waktu ajah Flo, dah kerjaan bejibun gitu, masih sempet ajah les ini itu.."
Let me clarify...I'm a very easy distracted person.....not really ya, I have to distract my self in order to do my job properly, to be exact *blush*, so when I'm doing my work, I could open 4 different jobs in the same time, plus turn up radio or what so ever lah, plus updating blog, blog walking, play Neopets, read emails, read Kompas, look at Singapore maps, receive/make call (inclusive ngedagel lewat telpon ke temen2 gokil gue *blush*), etc lah...
Basically I'm a multitask person, if you ask me to just concentrate in 1 thing, weleh that 1 thing can go haywire for sure....even doing my job, I have to have constant break every 30 mins, my concentration can not last long *sigh*
So in order to keep my brain working, I have to engange so much activity...*blush*
Demikianlah acara press conference saya, untuk mengklarifikasi nama baik saya *senyum manies*

Golf Lessons

I've changed my golf lesson to Tuesday morning, starting from today, even though I'm hardly wake up in the morning *blush*
So this morning struggling to wake up, managed to wake up 8.45 *blush*, it was raining and heavy winds, made me even more lazy to go *sighed* showered then rushed to golf lesson, of course I was late lah *pe de*
Weleh... arrived in the driving range, found out that morning crowds mostly are tai tai (=tante tajir), everybody were properly dressed with golf attire (gue juga gak ngerti ceritanya asih belajar tapi udah pada heboh2 attire-nya), only me of course, as usual long sleeve t-shirt (pan ujan *nyengir*) plus jeans, and crocs...yupe crocs..not golf shoes *blush* (eh tukang crocs mo ngendorse gue gag ya? heheheh)...
Eh ternyata guru gue lagi ngelaba....dia lagi ngajarin mbak2 yang ada di sono, I tought I was too late (I took individual class) that's why the other class had started...later I found out si bapak lagi ngelaba *sigh*
Oh iye...my golf teacher, reminds me of Lupus..inget Lupus? duh jadul banged yaaa...ho'oh..gue kan Gen X...*ngaku* Bapaknya gak gondrong siy...but he always wears shirt with eric cantona's style plus munching gums...sun glasses..so cool...so I associate him with Lupus lah yaooo....wakakakka

Messy

Hi All, I've been very bloody busy these pas few weeks, and now even worse, as we messed up one of the job with a big client...
Deeply depressed, tired and helpless...scared of losing that client *pray very hard*

Chocolate Class

Just finished chocolate making class, hmmm the chocolate is so cute, it's the form of fusion Easter Bunny, yupe Easter is coming mah...
Then there was this 1 annoying aunyie, I know lah she's from USA, and just happened from the same city, Philadelphia, as the chef, but then so what geto loh *sewot*.
Everything damn thing, she always asked,"Where do I get this ingredient? Is in Philadelphia also available? Alamak....want to punch her in the face....
But anyway, here is the result, cute isn't it? And the Chef also oh so damn cute *nyengir*

Yong Too Foo

For you who stay in Singapore or quite frequently travelling to Singapore, Yong Too Foo (they have different spelling lah, but you should know what I mean) will be quite familiar to you.
Yong Too Foo that I'm going to talk about is the standard one, you get a bowl, then you choose minimum 6 pcs, add mee or mee hoon or kway tiao, or rice, then you choose whether dry or soup...Nah I've been eating the same things for the past few weeks for my lunch in the office.
One day I was very lazy to go down my self, so I asked my receptionist to help me to buy lunch down stair, she asked in Chinese," Ni yao Yong Too Foo ar?"
I said,"No, can you help me to buy chicken rice..."
She asked in shocked,"Not yong too foo ar?
I said," No, chicken rice please.."
When she came back with my chicken rice, then I tried to see what she was eating....Alamak it's yong too foo *gubraks* probably she was still in shock I was not buying yong too foo, so she bought it for herself...wakakakkakaka
