Holiday Hangover

Just like a dream...now I'm back to Singapore again *sigh*
But anyway still in holiday hangover mood...
Have a nice holiday everyone...

Merry Christmas

I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas from Down Under, where I supposed to have a summer Christmas but due to global warming, it's still quite cold though...Once again Merry Christmas for you who celebrates

A Room With No View

Yeah I'm in another Timbuktu...where by Mrs Macquarie has a chair in one point, and of course I always ask her permission to share her chair with me, as it has a very beautiful view of Sydney Opera House with a Harbour Bridge background.

It's the place where I always try to calm my mind, get some inspirations (but so far nothing came by *sigh*). The place where I used to go with my flatmates in the nights, disturbing people who you know what they do in the dark quiet place inside the car in the darkness of the night...

Well... my first day I was staying at Holiday Inn Darling Harbour, location wise, no complaint, quite convenient, easy to go everywhere....but all the room has no view...here is the snapshot of the room...

Monday Blues

Reason number one Hady Mirza won Asian Idol *teteup*

Number two mu Australian PR rejected

Number three I dropped my fruit juice on my office carpet'

Number four I am still coughing quite badly

Number five because it is monday

*sigh*

What A Crazy World

Hady Mirza from Singapore won Asian Idol *sigh*

Oh My God....what is happening with the world, are they deaf?

I really can't understand if at the end only the vote that determined the winners, why should they put all the judges there?

I still can't believe.....Hady Mirza *gubraks*

Mike (Indonesian) is bloody damn good, Jac (Malaysian) is very good, Mao (Phillipines) is very good also, if either one fo those three won, I still can accept....But of all hady mirza? *gubraks lagi*

I've been staying late to suppport Mike all the way even though I'm down with bronchitis, now seems getting worse *sigh* and I am really upset and dissapointed with the result....

I can't understand.....

Christmas Card

Started from 2 days ago, I've been trying very hard to finish signing my Christmas Card for my clients *sigh*

It was started by my part timer, who wrotes something inside the cards, and infected the whole office to write something inside the cards, instead of normal signaturaes only *deep sigh*

Can you imagine how frustating it is...being not writing for such a long time, don't know what to write..and I end up writing the longest sentence inside the cards, with a very ugly handwriting, accompany by "First Love" by Utada Hikaru *gak matching yak*

Till now, I'm still struggling very hard to finish signing the Christmas Card *sigh*

Lemot

If translated in English is weak brain...not funny, rite? yeah it's one of Indonesian slank...

One day, I was going into my car while talking over the phone, and I accidentally knocked my phone against the car,and shout," Ouchhhh" Yeah it's the new phone *blush* and forgetting that it's also a new car *blush again*, I quickly examine my handphone, whether I scratched my handphone or not.

I examined my handphone thouroughly, and CC asked me,"What happened and what are you doing?"

I answered,"I knocked my handphone against the car now I tried to check whether my handphone got scratched or not"

CC said,"Are you crazy? You could buy hundreds of your handphone with your car, you should be checking your car, instead of your handphone..."

I stopped examining my handphone and thought about it, then started to walk out of my car and examine my car *sigh* but both are allright

OMG lemotnya dirikuh *blush*

Have a nice week end everyone.....

Gubraks

10.06pm Singapore time, Friday nite,still in the office doing work. While others are having funs, dining, or just "leyeh leyeh" in the cafe or even early bird clubbing, I'm still here *sigh* Received lotsa sms, asking where am i...whether i could join them, what time would i finish my work, why should i be in the office....arggghhh 1001 unanswerable questons *deep sigh*

Anyway just for intermezzo....this things always bugging me up most of the time when I travel to another country. During the hotel check in, as per usual they will ask for my ID card (if I travel to KL I could use my Singapore ID though) or passport. Then they will take out the reservation document, and keep on staring at me over and over again, just simply because I don't know why most of the time they've already prepared a special welcome letter for me (which til now I couldn't understand, am I that special? *garuk2 kepala*).

And in the letter they always put me as Mr Hakim *gubraks*, weird isn't it? I put Ms. Hakim in my reservation and my membership *sigh*, why it's always come out as Mr. Hakim, So they always keep on check and recheck again, may be they thought I've gone through sex change operation process? *creativity mode on*

Especially if I only give my Singapore ID card, whereby in the photo I have a very short hair *blush* and at the end they always blushing after giving the key to me, and when they talked to me, they keep on want to pronounce Mr instead of Ms....alamak......

Have a good week end everyone....

Generasi Jaman Sekarang

School Holiday...start recruiting part timer for students...Seems that the moral erotion is getting greater and greater...as the generation becoming younger *sigh*

I was really so upset towards their attitude, until I went out brought the big cutter with me asked them to work faster and they still stared at me *sigh*

Luckily one of my colleague...have a fierce face *mulai gigit2 kuku* threw her actions towards her....

I feel like killing them slowly with chopstick...alamak...what our future is going to be with this quality of people *sigh*

CK One

Endorsement pleaseeeee... *hinting*

Anyway there is a very thin lines dividing between loves and hates, and the lines is not clear of course not clear...it's very blur...indeed very blur...

I like CK One since the very first time it was launch ages ago (you could guess my age now *blush*), anyway for my love for CK One, I always wear it faithfully.

A lots of bitter sweet memory that I had with CK one, but yet, no matter how I still holding on to that perfume til I moved to Sydney, I quit. Whenever I smell the scent, I feel like something piercing into my hearts, very painful. Feel strange, empty, miss something, yet familiar

In the beginning of these year, I don't know why I bought it again, after 7 years abstain from that perfume *sigh* Still have the feelings though *sigh*

Women....*sigh* is very hard to understand....why like to be in trouble always.....are we built for that? Or it's me that is just plain stupid....

Early Bird

It's been a long time since I walk around Orchard Road hopping from one pedestrian tunnel to another, which normally eevery one of each tunnel has their own unique busker (=tukang ngamen-red).

Yesterday as I walked through 1 of the tunnel, I found new busker, it's an uncle with his Electronic Piano. I was surprised,"Eitsss new busker nih..."

But as I was walking and listened to his music, I felt something wrong. Finally I found out that he was playing Chinese New Year Songs *gubraks*

So it's not only Shopping Center who's trying to catch early bird shopper, as now they have already been ready for Christmas Shopping. This uncle even more advance....he has been prepared for Chinese New Year *sigh*

Queen of Gambler

Yeah yeah I was from Macao and Hong Kong....yeah yeah.....need to make money (in Macao) to support my shopping (in Hong Kong)....

I've finally found someone out that I shouldn't gamble in the morning, because based on my experience twice, I tend to lose money in the morning. Note taken "shouldn't gamble in the morning"

As I gambled on Thursday morning my pocket bleed heavily, but finally I made it back bit ny bit...and in that night, I swore not to go back to my room if I had not got 10,000 in my pocket. By the time I felt tired, I counted my chips, yeah just nice 10,000, time to go back to the room.

Yeah baby, after final counts, I made quite a bit lah....enough for decent shopping...if only I didn't lose badly that morning *sigh* but anyway still won what *phew*

Where In The World Is Carmen San Diego

Last Sunday, I had a chance to see Rockapella performance @ esplanade, they are funtastic, superb, the real entertainer...etc...I was amazed with their performance, they made beautiful music, and they entertain the audience very well.

They consist of 5 male members, and during the performance, they brought up 1 of the audience, women of course, and pretty....which is of course Indonesian...ya lah...the only pretty lady and handsome guy in Singapore are Indonesian what....Sorry my Singaporean friends, but that the cruel fact about it....

At the end of the performance, I queued up for an autograph, they are very friendly, and genuine...I took some of their photos...and they posed for me, but unfortunately, it's me...always being cosiderate for others..I took it in a hurry so the result is blur *cry out loudly*

Anyway I just found out from the show that this Rockapella is the group that sings the opening songs for shows"Where In The World Is Carmen San Diego", which I haven't had a chance to see, but always play the computer game during my childhood...

last but not least, would like to wish you Happy Deepavali for those who celebrates....and have a nice week end...meanwhile me, is somewhere out there...in the city where the temperature now ranging from 18-23 celcius, the weather indoor is colder than outdoor ;P

It's a mix of old and new culture....where in the world am i?

Sakit Jiwa

Sometimes back...I think almost 1 month ago, our company posted an advertisement, looking for a driver.

Just now...being in the office alone to finish some works, the main lines rang, I thought it's from Cika or one of us lah...so I just pick up the phone with a lazy tones...

Suddenly, it's a guy voice *gubraks* he said,"Are you looking for a driver?"

I said,"Yes, but we found the driver already..."

He asked again,"What company is this?" *gubraks*

I am quite persistent,'But the position has been taken already"

He asked again," What company is this?" (Nih orang belom pernah dikeroyok orang satu kampung pake benda tumpul kali ya?)

Being frustated with worked I "jutekly" said," But the position has been taken"

I forgot how many times this broken record been played, finally that guy hung up the phone...

Tell me who is mentally ill? Why so Kay Poh? Told him already the position taken, still wanted to know what company we are *sigh*

Birthday Party

Even though I've tried so hard to keep low profile in Singapore, but for this year, I have endless birthday party *sigh*

Hiding

I got the above file from Cika.

I'm hiding today.....everybody is aftering me, the one in the office (I could smell something though) and the one at home (you know who lah)...

And at home I really hide inside my bed room and close the door very tight, everytime I open the door, my domestic helper, will say,"Is there anything I can help you ma'am?"

Oh my God....what a nuisance...I think I should go to the police station and ask for the Police Protection Order Letter *sigh*

Last but not least, thank you for all of you who have already arrange something (even though you might have or might not have), sending me all those sweet sms-es (anyway my toot started to ache badly since last night *gak nyambung*), and also all those who is wishing me half heartedly, yeah God knows who lah ya.....

Anyway thank you so much.....this is the best day that I have so far.....but I think I have to go out from the house now....Have a nice week end....and see you for those whom I have to see.....

Give Birth

Not me...but one of my staff, her current status is going to give birth anytime soon.

So all of us in the office are trying to prepare, from determining the shortest journey to the hospital, to counting the constraction (1 of my colleague has 1 son already, so at least she knows what to do, and when is the time)

Australian PR

If Venny posting about her Canadian PR, allow me to post about my Australian PR.

Well...started yesterday after a very long battle inside me, whether i should go to the Australian High Commission or not, and how should i go there, as a matter of fact the location is not convenient as well, and all the security issues etc...

So I decided to take a taxi there, and when I was there, in front of me are 2 Kenyans were stopped by the guard outside the gate. I feel that it's very ironic though..as everybody else could walk freely, but why should these 2 persons stopped by the most front guard who actually in charge of checking the vehicle that is going to enter the embassy.

Then in the security guard post, where we should change for the pass, they were questioned very long. I felt pity for them, why in this time of the year, people still practice this type of things...

Anyway, the security is very tight, everybody can't bring the handphone inside, we had to switch off the handphone and put it in the locker provided in the guard house *sigh* When I went in I just realised that I forgot to bring my old passport, and my Australian visa was in the old passport. What a waste *sigh*

By the way I got my Australian PR but expired about 1 year ago, I am going to extend my PR, and in the same time I want to apply for the tourist visa as well, simply because I miss Sydney so much.

But this morning I decided not to go to the Australian High Commission again, as I thought that I might need a photo for tourist visa application, so postponed lah...

Last but not least, would like to thank all of you for all the well wishes for my grand draw last Thursday, but sadly speaking my name was not called...may be it's not mine...

Hooooraaaayyyyy

Finally I made it as the ninth caller for 91.3 FM Singapore *lumpad2 dan joged2*

So I have to stay tune on Thursday 18 October from 7 am till midnite i guess, just in case they call up my name, and I have to call them back within 60 minutes to win some voucher.

Wish me luck ya...and if you could help me to listen to the radio, just in case I miss out when they call up my name *senyum manis*

Don't forget...18 October 2007 starting from 7 am.

Thanks a zillion....

Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri

Allow me to wish you, who celebrates Idul Fitri, "Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri, Mohon maaf lahir dan bathin"

And also allow me to quote an sms sent by my friend, Satria Yulfan:

"Meminta maaf tidak menjadikan kita hina,
Memberi maaf jangan membuat kita bangga,
Saling memaafkan dan silahturahmi yang jadikan kita mulia. "

Once again Selamat Idul Fitri 1428H, mohon maaf lahir dan bathin.

I miss Jakarta, with all the crowds in the eve of Hari Raya Idul Fitri *sobs sobs*

Anger Management #2

I guess I know why my anger tolerance is getting shorter and shorter.

Back in Jakarta, I release my steam by speeding and cursing when people cut into my lane with no manner.

Meanwhile in Singapore, everybody so stressfull, and when I drive I keep on reminding my self not to speed...well I still love my driving licence though...

Anyway...just for your info, if you know how much i hate you, you could see from the signature of my email, if I included all my university degree behind my name, it's proven that you are in my most hatred list....

Meanwhile...I sign off ...so many things to do, so little time

Anger Management

I think I need to join anger management class already. As I prone to get angry to other people (not my staffs though) easily...especially all those so called bloody stupid customer service consultant...but of course I don't scold them but I'd asked to be transferred to the manager, then start singing my rap songs (read:scolding them upside down)...

A new idiotic customer just talked to me and you know that type of unreasonable request, but know nothing about it, and even questioned me about the knowldege of my work.....arrrggghhhh don't you think that you want to kill her?

Who the hell she think she is, dare to questioned me such things? Tetangga bukan sodara bukan *ngasah piso*...eh shouldn't sharpened my knife dink...that type of person should be killed slowly with a blund knife....

My staff started to worry and asked her colleagues to make me cold drinks....

Aiyoh just now is only a short episodes of my mild anger mah...even though a lots of bad words, but I haven't raised up my tone yet though *blush* I only cursed after I finished my call...

PS: Normally I am the ambassador of my clients's product but for this product....I swear I won't spread the news about the product to anybody....anyway I don't think the product is worth to buy anyway

Jet Lag

Just came back from Jakarta niy *basi banged* Most of you know already lah ya....(makanya basi)
I was walking around in Plaza Indonesia, and I was shocked by so many people speaking in Indonesian *gubraks* I still hadn't realised that I was actually in Jakarta *blush* even though actually when I were in Orchard, I didn't really care if I found a lots of people spoke Indonesian.
When I received a call, I had to keep reminding my self not to gossip too much, as everybody speaks Indonesian lah....if in Singapore I don't need to mind what am I going to talk over the phone...but in Jakarta man....everybody speaks Indonesian, so I have to be very careful *smile*
Today I went to Paragon, I was still shocked by more and more people spoke Indonesian in Singapore...haven't realised that Indonesian has started to flock into Singapore..
I guess it's part of Jet Lag, isn't it?
Or is there anything wrong with me?

Midas Touch

In Indonesian is "Tangan Dingin" geto loh....

I don't really believe in Midas Touch during my childhood, as I enjoy my mom's cooking so much, she can keep the house very need and tidy all the time, she does the washing, etc by herself and she's a superwoman....pokoke TOP BGT dehhhh...

My grandma from both sides also were good cooks as well....even my dad, can cook quite nice, which he did when my mom fall sick.

When I was in secondary school, just simply because of I was too boyish, so my mom made a conspiracy to my school head master, to register me in cooking subject for 3 years. Actually I didn't even put cooking at all as my choice....but suddenly my name appeared for cooking subject. I was so innocent, and asked my teacher, they said any other class already full. So I did that cooking class for 3 years, which formed me to a not so bad cooks lah...

At least during those 3 years, every wednesday my dad would wait for me excitedly, wanting to get something from my cooking class, meanwhile, my mom would wait til my dad said," very nice" then she would take it with hesitation :(

Anyway so far in my Singapore maid's history (jreng jreng...maid again niyyyy), I've never let them cook my food, I only let them make my breakfast which consist of Tea with sugar and toast....safe enough lah...

Even though Nunik (Doh, Nunik lage bowww.....) who said that she can't cook, but actually I'd ever found out that she made tong seng for her self *grrrrrrrrrrrr mo marah gak siy?*

My latest domestic helper, from Myanmar...she's very good, very helpful (too helpful in fact), I feel that she's more fit to be a gurkha (=the 1st class body guard from Nepal) than a domestic helper....I feel uneasy, the way she serves me, as though I'm a small kids...*tepok jidat*

But anyway, she doesn't have midas touch....but everything she touch would turn to disaster...my tea, I don't know why, the only tea she can make only chinese tea....for any other tea, I will have gastric problem after drinking her tea, which is too acidic I guess.

I've tried to trained her how to make a cup of tea, but yet it has never been good *sigh* and all the plants, died in her hand *gubraks* even bonsai plant, which practically easy to maintain, also lost the leaves one by one and died *gubraks lagi*

What happened to her ya? Anyway Have a good week end every one....

Chameleon

When I first moved into Singapore from Sydney, I looked dirty, like never been washed for weeks ;P, very tanned, and speak with an Australian Accent. Like to wear bermuda and t-shirt, carried back pack wehere ever I go, wear sport shoes or just normal slipper.

So every time I took taxi, after i told my destination, the uncle started to sneered at me thru his mirror, and asked,"You're Filipino ah?" (with the tone of,"You're filipino maid ah?")

That time I was still very polite, I said no, then kept quiet....then the uncle would still be kay poh (=busy body) asked me again,"So where you from?"

I still politely said,"I just moved from Sydney".

Uncle,"Oh what you work there ah?" (still with that tone so you work as a domestic helper in Sydneyah?)

I said," Nope, I just finished my master degree"

Then after that the conversation tone changed...when he later knew that actually I'm Indonesian who studied overseas, then started to ask, whether my parents owned any properties here, around Orchard *sigh*

After around my 3rd or 4th year in Singapore, once I board the taxi, they would asked," Xiao Jie Yao Qi Na Li?" (=Where are you going miss?). well a bit of improvement, and he would blabbered in Chinese, which I repllied politely, "Sorry I'm Indonesian Chinese and my Chinese is not good" But still the uncle speak Chinese with me saying,"Never mind, You'll be improving very soon if you stays here..."

Now....everybody would asked,"Sorry to ask you ar miss, are you Indonesian? (with a very sweet voice). Well, I always reply proudly,"Yes I am Indonesian".

So it made me think....Do I change so much within 7 years meh? *garoek2 kepala"

It's okay lah...at least now in most od Singaporean eyes, my face looks like rich Indonesian, as I could see from the way they speak to me.....how I wish I am as rich as their think.....

Morale of story: It's proven that uncle taxi are very busy body

Ironic #2

Life is very ironic with a lots of insensitive people arounds you.

Especially those who supposed to be your friends that you share your life stories with, and then suddenly that friend started to ask the stupid, insensitive questions to you as though that friend doesn't know what's your status, which actually indeed that friend knows very well what is happening in your life. But yet, that question came out from that person. Isn't it ironic?

It's just like you're asking somebody whom you know is struggling to make a living with a question,"Have you checked out the Salvatore Ferragamo sale?" or you ask your friend, whom you know very well is fasting,"Have you taken your lunch?"

Ironic isn't it? But it's indeed happened.....

Fasting - 1st Day

Even in Singapore, the road are very quiet.

Selamat menjalankan ibadah puasa yaaaaaa

Aaaaaahhhh Women

Since young I used to play with boys...and til now I prefer to work and play around with men also...

Women is a very complicated things, even though me my self is a woman, but I would never ever understand other women *sigh*

I am a very straight forward person....but sometimes I do play politics if necessary...now I'm a grown up, and I can't choose to work only with men....but what choice do I have?

I've been very careful in selecting my staff, but sometimes incidents could happen anytime...should I ask my colleagues to do sex change operation and hormonal therapy?

Murphy Law #2

I've ever posted using this title, so I used #2 instead..

It was yesterday, I met my client at Paragon, and I came at the wrong timing, it had started to jam since Tanglin Road, in front of Brunei Embassy to be exact, all the way til the Paragon Entrance.

I've never known Orchard road would be jammed around that time *sigh* Going into the carpark was even worse, as it was using the ERP censor, so the queue become longer, if no car came out, and the quota had been reached, so no car can enter the car park.

Some more the valley car park has moved to basement, so I have to pass the carpark entrance before I could reach the vallet *sigh* Ever since the car park vallet moved, normally I won;t use them anymore, since I'd been able to enter the carp park, there is no use of valet parking anymore, I could park my self though...but this time, because of the time constraint *caelah* I have no choice but to use them.

Then *censored*

Finished Paragon, it was jammed again *sigh*, and in front of Clementi Central, I was driving along the way, suddenly the stupid white small van came out withoput even putting signal. Being so close, I just horned, and you guess.. HE SHOWED HIS MIDDLE FINGER TO ME...and he looks so smart, wearing a blue business shirt, and have a pleasant looks but lousy manner...

You know me, if he wants to play, I also can...so I follow him side by side, if he fast, I'd drive faster, if he slow, I'd be slower also, being helpless, he stopped...then I realized okay he's driving a van, by right I should be able to see the company name from the side of his van.

Yupe I'm damn right, the company name is THE MAGIC COTTAGE ENRICHMENT CENTRE.

OMG Enrichment centre, do you think as a parents, you'd trust that stupid enrichment center who were in the wrong and still dare to show middle finger to me.

Don't you think as enrichment centre they have to show a good example to people, as they are considered as educational institution?

But anyway remembering my lunch (which is a noodle soup) had been waiting for me since I was still in Paragon, I didn't follow him anymore. I came back to the office, i search the yellow pages and called the yellow pages, the company is not listed (hmmm what kinda company is it? Fly by night company huh?). But I managed to track his company. The number listed is only handphone number, I called the number but it said,"the number you just called is not in use"

Of course I'd lodged in a police report, and I'll go to the court on Monday to pursue the matter...

Wanna play? Come and play with me....Fun isn't it?

Myths #1

My daddy always says if I encountered something unusual, I'll be lucky.

Yesterday I bought my lunch downstairs, and the auntie seller, normally doesn't smile, but yesterday she smiled at me and said thank you to me, regardless, I paid her with $50 notes.

So after office I went to buy lottery, but I didn't strike...

Morale of the story: May be I should have asked the auntie what year was she born and buy that number instead ya...

Love Promise

Woke up late for church *blush* so i skip lah...

Then turn on the TV want to see gossip show donks...as it used to be my playground *nyanyi* routine geto loh..but it's too early for gossip show. Having no choice I see whatever available lah..RCTI is Tom and Jerry (too much during my childhood) and SCTV is telenovela.

So I tried to watch that SCTV for a while, it's about the promise of love that they made during their childhood, and now they've grown up and want to fulfill their promise...Looks like these type of topic is quite in trend in Indonesian drama series ya...But of course I couldn't be glued to that show.....soooo cheesy...

But it do make me think...whether I've made such promise before or not ya? Just in case I did and I have to find that half of my heart back in Indonesah geto loh, remembering most of my friends' father are conglomerate *ketawa guling2 di lante*

Morale of story: kids..if you want to make such promise make sure to see bibit, bebet, bobot ya *matre mode on*

ORPC #2

This one happened a few weeks back. I woke up late and was lazy to go to my normal church. So I decided to go to ORPC for that Sunday.

I texted my partner in crime,"Jeng, lo ntar ke gereja?

My partner in crime," Masih gak tau nih jeng, soale ada temenku dateng dari Jakarta lewat Batam, dan bakalan tinggal di tempat gue, so gue musti nungguin dia"

Me,"Oke deh gue ke Plaza Singapura dulu yeee..."

Her,"Just in case gue gak dateng, lo coba sms Titus ato Pingkan aje, biar elo ada temen geto loh.."

I did, but Pingkan couldn't make it for that day, and Titus is on duty as photographer.

I texted my partner in crime again,"Eh jeng gue gak bawa alkitab"

Her,"Tenang, dipinjemin kok di sono.."

I've never known exactly what's the best way to go to ORPC from Plaza Singapura, which resulted I heard the bell sounds, while I was still across Park Mall *sigh*

I was in doubt, whether should I go ahead or should I just went back home, which later on, I decided to go on.

I arrived, the service had started, it was quite crowded, so finally I could find a seat. I sat down and browsed around trying to find the bible, I saw only Chinese bible available *panick mode on*

After calming my self down, I found Indonesian bible *phew* Then when the song leader announced which song to sing, I started to panick again, trying to find the Song book (Kidung Jemaat).

OMG I coulnd't find, then I tried to look around to realize it's incorporated at the back of the bible *tepok jidat* then another disaster, every time they announce whic song to sing or which verse to read from the bible, I opened wrongly.

I started to think my hearing is bad or I was hallucinating *sigh* But luckily during the preach I managed to open the right passage....

Well....well....may be I used to rely on people so much (baca:ngegebet dari tetangga geto loh), so when my partner in crime not by my side, I got lost *blush*

Morale of story: Ngegebet berbahaya bagi kesejahteraan hidup anda....

Under Cursed

Oh My God, I only took a bit of my monday morning to have brunch with my friends for a while. But I felt that now I am under the cursed.

My works seems endless *sigh*

ORPC #1

It stands for Orchard Road Presbyterian Church, quite famous among Indonesian, because it has Indonesian Service.

Eversince I'm away from Indonesia, I attend English Service Church most of the time. So a few months back or last year, I can't really remember, after a Saturday nite clubbing session with my partner in crime, since she's attending ORPC, so I decided to follow her to ORPC for Indonesian Service that Sunday.

Well the service is more or less is the same like GKI. So we sing from Kidung Jema'at, and there are a few passage of bible reading.

So we sang, we read the bible, and we prayed all in Indonesian. But when the sermon started I nearly jumped and fell from my seat, because I was so shocked,"eh how come the priest speaks Indonesian?" *gubraks*

I think the alcohol level inside my blood was still quite high ya? *shy*

Well happy week end everyone....

What a Bloody Morning

My blood has reached the biling point at this time....the volcano is going erupt soon...

Wanna spare with me? Come I'll in the mood of fight

Money = Happiness?

Today is a gloomy day in Singapore with rain pouring quite heavily the whole day, and it made me to think and have reflection about my life, my achievement, etc...

I agree with the statement of "Money can't buy happiness" as I see my life now, I feel in term of financial stability I should be okay, but when I think back to my schooling days in Sydney, I felt that I was happier back then.

I was working as a waitress, and every week, I used to feel very excited on Wednesday, just simply it was my pay day. No matter how small my payment is, by the time I got my pay check on hand, I felt like jumping around and shouting "horraaayy".

I would walk happily and humming all the way to the nearest bank to throw in my pay check. But now, look at me, no matter how many times I earned compared with before, there was no excitement at all. When I opened my office letter box and found an envelope with check payment inside, I don't have any excitement in opening it, let alone going to the bank to throw in the check *sigh*

If only I could turn back time....Life is much simpler then....

Vini Vidi Vici

Still remember that latin phrase?

In my case means I come, I gamble, and of course I won *blush*

Retail Therapy

How much do you believe in that? (Especially you my women friends)
I don't really believe in retail therapy that much, because when I felt blue, what did I do ya? *scratching my head sambil nyengir*
If Phill Collins felt blue what he had to do is take a look at you..wakakakkaka that one is his song donks...wakakakkakakkak
But last week, on wednesday to be exact, as I was really really upset with all the things all around me, I bought something impulsively....but after that hmmm I thought money can't buy everything, especially happiness....but after I thought again mmm...i deserved that things, why not? I work so hard, and I don't feel appreciated, why don't i appreciate my self with some little cute things, that I've not really dream of quite strongly.
But that things ever passed into my mind long long time ago....So finally I BOUGHT IT.
I feel a little bit happy though...hmmmmmm.......

Will I survive?

I feel so bloody tired. Bad luck seems want to be my best friends lately.

Should I take leave? At least 6 month? Or Forever?

Am I a loser? Am I a coward? Will I survive?

*Deep Sigh*

Friendship

Friend (noun):
1. a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard.
2. a person who gives assistance; patron; supporter: friends of the Boston Symphony.
3. a person who is on good terms with another; a person who is not hostile: Who goes there? Friend or foe?
4. a member of the same nation, party, etc.
(From http://www.dictionary.com)

Friendship (noun)
1. the state of being a friend; association as friends: to value a person's friendship.
2. a friendly relation or intimacy.
3. friendly feeling or disposition.
(From http://www.dictionary.com)

Do you believe in friendship? I did, but not so much now.
As I grow old (yeah finally I admit now not grow up anymore, but grow old instead *blush*) I become a pathetic person.
What's the sh*t about friendship? I always wonder where all the people whom I used to call "my best friend" go to?
Everybody seems too busy with their life, and they are afraid of getting involved with my life...they also have their own family to take care now...
And some of the people who I call friend even take the friendship for granted. Some of them thought since they're my friend, so they can do this or that to me.
There is another category of friends again, which "Okay, we are friend, just simply because I am XXXX, I have XXXXX, etc....
I even keep on reminding myself "Trust nobody, but my self, not even your parents, siblings, friends, etc...at the end of the day you still have to face the consequences by yourself, nobody can help you"
Now I could understand why all the famous people, started to use drugs, it's just simply the last category of my reason. They feel lonely, just because they feel some people are not sincere to get close to them...
Am I going to that direction?

Arini, Masih ada Kereta yang akan lewat

That's Garin Nugroho's movie title is very catchy....
The meaning is Arini (the name if a person), there would be another train arriving.
I didn't watch this movie, but from the title, may be it tries to say that if you miss something, there will be another time to make it.
But in my opinion, even though there would be another train arriving, it would certainly be a different experience if you took the other train instead.... Agree?

New Product

We proudly announce that our company has several new products which consist of flu virus, bacteria, and also cough....

Interested party please do not hesitate to drop me an email *winks*

Tepar lagi

Tepar lagi ah..tepar lagi ah ah ...*singing*

Aiyoh...just recovered from quite bad flu 2 weeks ago, now down again with a bacteria infection *sigh*

My GP said, it's throat infection, yeah indeed felt uncomfortable with my throat though, on the other hand she also worries with stomach flu, but I have no diarrhea at all *pardon me* But..after the doctor then my diarrhea started *alamak* and my stomach pain is on and off...

Tomorrow...oopss...later this afternoon might have visited my GP again...

What's wrong with me? Become friends of bacteria already meh? *sigh*

Indonesian Geto loh

Last nite, having dinner with my best friend from Jakarta, plus my partner in crime and her husband which just moved into Singapore (yay finally got new victim, welcome to the club).

We were talking about how far her husband has been adapting so far, whether he has started to speak Singlish, which replied by him" Touch wood lah yauuuuu..."

I said it took me 3 years to get Singlish flowing into my bloodstream, and let's see how long will he be able to resist, as for the wife, she more or less Singlish by the middle of her 1st year here *winks*

Then of course, as a good team mate, we always want to welcome a new comer to feel as comfortable as possible in Singapore *wicked smile* So we started to speak Singlish *blush*

After dinner, i sent everyone of them, and just on the way out from my carp park lot, suddenly the husband shouted,"Eh Flo, it's No Entry you know!"

I said,"Aiyah, Indonesian mah...."

His wife,"Yes...we do not understand English, if only they had written "Dilarang Masuk" then Flona won't go to that direction.

Morale of the story: For where two or three Indonesian come together, there would be a lots of histeria and fun ;P

Have a good week end everyone....

Gerimis Mengundang

This morning was raining, I was very reluctant to get out from my bed, remembering yesterday I'd raced around Singapore *sigh* But have no other choice, I have to go to the office *deep sigh*

Lazy to drive, brain jammed, I went down, realising that I didn't bring the umbrella with me. Being dumb from my tiredness, I just dialled a number to get a cab, and the other party,"Sorry this is not a cab company" *gubraks*

I felt bad and said,"oopss..I'm very sorry..." then hung up the phone.

I saw a lots of taxi outside, but rain, I walked to the bus stop and tried to flag a taxi. Got one, the driver quite cute *excited* but he spoke chinese to me, despite of I greeted him in English when I got in Good morning!".

FYI I greeted him is not because of he's cute okay...it's simply because I'm very polite *blush* anyway, cute guy...that's a rare things or could be says cute guys are going to extinct in Singapore, if could find, whether they're foreigner, or just simply womaniser or the one who is very narcistic (sorry if I offended anybody, but anyway that's the true fact). It's not like in Jakarta, where I could find cute guy every where, starting from the unpolished one (in Trisakti University), or the already polished with a very good finishing, everywhere in the mall *sigh*

Being challenged, I also answered him in Chinese. Then I began sms-ing my friends, and of course you can imagine what did I write in the sms *wink* So when got reply I smiled, then sent again etc...I supposed having the passenger smiling all the way at the back of taxi while sms-ing is quite common for taxi driver.

Nearest to my office he asked which part of the road my office is, and I told him the way, then he asked again (of course all the conversation were in Chinese, but I don't know how to write han yu pin yin, so i just wrote in English lah ya...) ,"You are not local, are you?"

I answered,"Nope"

He,"I thought so, because of your pronounciation.Are you from Hongkong?" *gubraks*

I said,"Nope, you guess?"

He gave up, I said,"I'm Indonesian".

Then arriving in the destination, I asked him to drop me on the side entrance, but he was very concern, he said,"But it's raining.."

I answered,"It's okay, only a bit..."

He said,"Ok then, please be carefull, it's slippery..."

Oh My God, so sweet huh?..too bad I didn't asked his number *sigh*

Morale of the story: When you see a good catch, please get the phone number immediately...

F1 Driver

This morning I had to wake up early as I had to pick up my best friend from Jakarta. Her flight arrived 8.55 *sigh*

But with a very high spirit, meeting her geto loh....I woke up early donk *smile sweetly* Actually she is on company duty, so last night she insisted not to be picked up from the airport. I couldn't wait to see her, so I picked her up *blush*

She came with her colleague, which happened to be our Junior back in Trisakti before. Even though at the end I shot all the way to Tuas, they had to submit their product sample to PSB in Tuas and after that dropped them at their hotel in town. I did it, in the name of friendship *caelah*

She commented something,"Eh Flo, elo di sini kok nyetirnya sangat patuh dan taat sesuai dengan tata tertib mengemudi ya?"

I said,"Lo mao dapet surat cintah dari Traffic Police ape? kalo ganteng sih kaga ape2"

And FYI, everytime I drive here in Singapore I have to keep on reminding my self,"Flona, remember this is Singapore, please drive carefully..."

Morale of story: Can you imagine how michael schumacher drive in his own private car?

Liposuction

I did liposuction on Saturday nite *wicked smile* I performed a liposuction (on the pork belly *pardon me*) to be exact.

Of course lah..if I did liposuction, then I became famous, how? *nyengir* Even though wothout liposuction I've been famous already *pe de*

By the way, back o liposuction..when I performed it on the pork belly, I started ot think whether that poor pig was died of animal slaughter or heart attack ya? Remembering so much fat that I retrieved from it *sigh*

Anyway I supposed to buy pork loin to make roast pork, but I bought the belly instead, as it looked quite similar, and the loin had not been available for th elast 3 days *sigh* I've taken the photo of the result, not too bad though...but I don't know how to post the recipes, because when I cooked, I just need to know the basic ingredients, and I tend to leave the measurement based on my feelings....

Morale of the story: poor piggy :P

Umbrella - Rihanna

I don't have any bad feelings or whatever towards her. But I just feel weird suddenly she become famous by singing the songs by the title of Umbrella.
Don't tell me dulu dia bekas ojek payung jangan-jangan? *cemas*

Ngitung Kancing

Phrase itu sangat familiar di kuping kan? Terutama kalo lagi ulangan yang tipenya multiple choice ato yes or No questions.

Tapi gak hanya sebatas ulangan saja kata sakti itu bisa diimplikasikan *caelah bahasa guwe cuit cuit..* Kadang dalam menghadapi pilihan yang sulit, temen2 gokil kita suka memakai kata sakti itu,"Halah...udah itung kancing ajah.."

Apakah dalam mengambil sebuah keputusan itu bener2 as simple as ngitung kancing? Coba bayangin, berapapun kancingnya, kalo kita mulai dengan iya, nggak, iya, nggak, ...dst....trus setelah dapat hasil akhir, kita balik itungannya mulai dengan nggak, iya, nggak, iya...dst Toh hasilnya tetep aja nihil.

Jadi gimane donks? baju yang gue pake sekarang ajah gak ada kancingnya....sementara masalah yang nunggu pemecahan dari gue makin lama makin bertumpuk.

Alangkah bahagianya gue kalo gue masih senekat dulu.....ternyata usia membuat tingkat kenekatan menurun *sigh*

Moral of the story: kalo pake baju yang ada kancingnya, jangan lupa ngancing yak *gak nyambung* hihihiihihi....

Weird

I am down with the flu for the past 1 week. I saw my GP on Monday, and she've never tired of asking me whether I could take MC, regardless she knows my boss is me, and I would never ever take any MC at all *kekeuh*

I told her not too worry, I wouldn't force my self to work hard in the office *cross finger*, and she said ok, and gave me a few types of medicines, a powerful antibiotics, steroid for my runny nose (he he he...doping yak...), and 1 type of flu medicine for morning, it won't cause drowsiness, and another type taken in the night, as it will cause drowsiness, and of course cough syrups.

Well...yesterday nite, I was having early dinner around 7, and I took the medicine straight away. Weirdly, I was still clicking my mouse, playing online game till 1 am in the morning without feeling sleepy at all...

So...where is the faulty?

Morale of the story: kerusakan bukan pada pesawat televisi anda booo...have a nice week end every one *hugs*

Memory

When I was driving and listening to the radio on the way to the office, they are playing all those cheery themes of songs, which would charge you up in the morning and make you feel better and have a bright day.

It made my memory suddenly played back the old good times, during my teenage years, when I stayed over in my grandma's house on week days, and I had to go to school. I used to stay in my grandma's room, on my auntie's bed, to be exact, meanwhile my auntie forced to sleep in the next room with another auntie *grins*

By the time the alarm sounds, I would be still lazy to open my eyes, and my grandma would wake me up with full of love, meanwhile I took my own sweet time to be awake. But still Grandma was very patient and lovings towards me.

By the time I open my eyes, I would reach out my hand to the top of my head to switch on the radio on my grandma's desk (read as "tangan gue mulai grepe2 ke atas kepala gue nyari tombol buat nyalain radio), and the channel, of course 102.3 FM (yes that time Prambors was still in this frequency).

During that time from 5am to 6 am they will play the continuous energising music, that will make you fully wake up. So I tuned in to that radio, turned the volume up and dancing passed my grandma all the way to the bathroom, singing, and moving to the rhythm of the music even when I was munching my breakfast.

FYI all these precious moment couldn't be done at my home, let alone playing msic in the very early morning, even talk with my normal tone in the morning is also forbid my mom, she said,"Hush..you father still sleeping, don't make noise!!!!!!"

Then during the journey to school I would fight over the radio channel with my beloved driver, which of course most of the time I won, but sometime I just let my driver to tune into his channel, once in a blue moon la.....

With all those sweet memories playing in my minds, without knowing suddenly the tears had started to flow down from my eyes...Ooopss..and my make up damage *teteup*

Even though Grandma had passed away quite sometimes back but she is the best grandma in the world. And for uncle driver, where ever you are, I miss you too...

Badai Pasti Berlalu

Apakah itu cuma sebuah judul lagu atau film yang sangat klise?

Pada waktu badai melanda suatu daerah, setelah beberapa waktu, badai itu akan berhenti atau berpindah ke tempat lain.

Ketika gue melihat sekeliling gue, temen temen gue yang lain kok sepertinya udah melalui tahap quarter life crisisnya mereka masing-masing dan kehidupannya udah lumayan stabil dan udah berlanjut ke tahap berikutnya.

Pada saat gue merenungkan kehidupan gue, kok badai kehidupan itu seakan akan tetap melanda kehidupan gue ya? Entah kenapa, sepertinya badai kehidupan, masih belum puas memporakporandakan kehidupan gua yang udah lumayan berantakan.

Apakah badai ini akan berlalu? Atau cuma merupakan kalimat klise belaka?

Discharged

I am back to life back to reality *singing* Sitting in front of my beloved office PC, updating my blog *muach muach* I had eaten my beloved "Yu Mian" for lunch *satisfied* and now back to racing the amazing race again *sigh*

The good news is I lost 2 kg *jumping around* and I didn't meet Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton though. I asked for my privacy to be kept from those 2, yeah I know both of them are yearning to see me *like real huh*

Well.....well...now focus, hopefully I can survive, yeah I will survive *singing*

Yin Yang

When I see life arounds me, most of the time I feel life is unfair.

But is the unfairness in life actually meant to create a balance in life, just like Yin and Yang?

Indonesian Idol

I'm still at home watching Indonesian Idol, not yet gone to rehab though...tomorrow...

Anyway back to Indonesian Idol, I'm amazed to see the judges, no hard feeling ya...i wonder what's Tika Panggabean doing there as a jury? *scratching my head* What's the connection between Tyka and singing? *sigh*

All the judges are very polite, nobody nasty at all, even when they wanted to say that the performance not up to standard, they'll start with I'm sorry to say that bla bla bla....Too polite isn't it? Yeah, that's us... Indonesian, full of politness *proud*

Anang, I don't know why when he comments, he speaks somehow weird....between formal and unformal....very lame that's what I feel...

At the end of today rerun show there was Krisdayanti duet with Sherina, KD has no air at all doing the duet with Sherina, which is nobody compared to KD...I always respect KD, Titi DJ, and Ruth Sahanaya, since I saw Concert 3 Diva last year in Jakarta, they are very down to earth...especially during the show they also have another 3 junior singers to sing on stage together with them...Salute...

Morale of the story: If you have a lots of enemy, please stock up Tango Biscuit...Don't understand? Watch Indonesian Idol deh....

Happy Birthday To Us

Yoohooo, we're 6th, I mean our company, supposed to be on 20 June if I'm not mistaken, but since I won't be around next week, yeah I'll be checking in to rehabilitation center *wicked smile*

But I'm not too sure who will I meet down there in the rehab, whether Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan or Richie Sambora (eh this guy had checked out already yesterday ya?)

Anyway come back to the anniversary party....could you imagine if the party planned by me? (the one who's going to be in the rehab next week?) *wink* Starting from individual cake (of course made by me with a lots of love), mini champagne, mini champagne glass, and small spoon, served on the tray and wrapped nicely by my colleague. Designing a invite card with a personal touch of me...and sealed with a kiss *blush*

And the craziest part...it's held on a house boat...so rocker my baby tonite...with a lots of champagne and wine till dawn. Oh there is one most craziest thing of all..the peanut is imported from Bali, which sent by DHL, the shipping cost is much more than the peanuts it self...

Yupe...so proven, rite? I need to go to rehab....

Have a nice week end everyone....Now I could become an event organiser liaow....Any party to arrange? Just call me and I'll be there *singing*

Manicure and Pedicure

I'll be having a company function this Friday. It's not a formal event, but just because pf my vanity level is on the high side, I went for manicure and pedicure this evening.

When you're watching the movie, normally during the session, they will be chit-chatting, or gosipping about something with the manicurist. But, you know me, instead of I did the talking, I just threw a bite, and the manicurist did all the talking *puas* So it's the other way around, instead of I was the one who pour my heart out, she was the one...he he he..smart huh?

Anyway during the session I was having a very bad stomach ache...you know...want to do my nature call lah...But can you imagine, if I did that with the half dry paint on my finger? *blush*

So I tried my best to keep it for later....so after everything finished, I still managed to have my dinner. Then I couldn't hold it any longer, so I went to the toilet and did it.

During zipping up my pants, oooppss...i damaged the manicure *sigh* luckily only a bit...but still quite obvious for me though...

If only I knew that, I'd rather not to sip my pants up ;p

Agreee??????

PS: this posting is made with my eyes half open, plus not too well working brain...so kids, please don't try it at home....

Why Oh Why

Up to now, I only love 1 maid (not nunik of course), the one that took care of me during my childhood. She was as good as personal buttler. She was polite, kinds, loved me a lot, and knew when I need my own space and time.
My current maid, she's from Myanmar. Yupe, after hearing so many people saying about how good Myanmar's maid is, and after weeks of trial from somebody for convincing me to get the Myanmar maid, finally I got one.
She is polite, hardworking, but I feel she has gone too far in providing service. Frankly I like her. But then I'm started to feel uncomfortable with her overboard gesture.
Imagine, after a long days from work, she always me what could I wanted to drink. After I told her what I wanted, then she would offer a lots of things, like,"Do you want Yakult? Do you want fruit juice? Do you want to take the yellow medicine (Tolak Angin maksude...because there was one time I took that 3 days in a row)?"
Which I'd told her,"That yellow liquid is a medicine, I shouldn't take that one every day if I were not sick..."
But all the questions still continues, till one morning I told her,"Let me tell you, I like you a lot, I like the way you work, you're very polite, very helpfull , very kind, very thoughtfull but sometimes you went too far in order to please me, and it made me very uncomfortable".
Her answer is,"It's okay ma'am".*gubraks*
I said,"It's okay for you but it's not okay for my life".
Last nite I tried to release my stress by baking, and she found out, and she said why I didn't call her. Then I told her that I need time to bake for my self, I enjoy baking and I enjoy doing it by my self.
Tonight she is on standby *gubraks*
When I told her that I wanted to do it by my self, she replied with the same answer.
Then I also said I need my space to release my stress, she also replied she is happy to help me, and she looks dissapointed for not letting her to help me. *gubraks lagi*
Oh My God....what else should I do? Everybody that had met her always said,"Wow you're very lucky to have such maid..."
Yeah indeed I was very lucky. But not now. My privacy have been invaded *sigh*

Brain Jammed

Because of instability of my emotion lately (may be I have to use UPS to make it stabil *grins), my brain is jammed. I'm not able to write ans express something in my blog as I used to.
My writing sounds stale and bored. I also scared that I might offend somebody in my writings as well.
So meanwhile stay tune until my brain could function properly again....

xoxo
Tyra Flona lah yau (you think American Next top model kali yak?)

Keblinger

I have adopted new habits for my sunday, which consist of woke up around 11 something *blush*, whip up brunch, and enjoy my brunch while watching infotainment, started from Hot Shot and move to Silet.
I'm not really addicted to infotainment though, but then sometimes I just feel left over when my friends talking about something *senyum manies*
Just now, while doing so, I was reaching the newspaper during the commercial break, but suddenly I was shocked and confused when reading the news, I thought,"Hmm weird, how come the newspaper is in English..."
*sigh* I think I was too engrossed with the infotainment, until I swicth my entire brain to Indonesian, that's why I become so shocked and confused *blush* How shameful :(

Alamak

PMS is the newest trend in my life. Remembering I used to laugh at all the girls around me who always suffer from PMS, started from food craving to becoming once a month bitch. I guess it's a karma *sigh*

Now I have it *jedotin kepala ke tembok* Started from a very bad stomach ache to crave for the food that I seldom have in my wish list. Imagine I always having a hard time like stomach cramps, hips pain, etc....

The crave even worse, every day I can crave for different things, yesterday i was craving for kue Onde or Jin Dui is the common name here and now black forrest cake *sigh* Alamak where to find black forrest? Gene hareee? Black Forrest? *tepok jidat*

Ndeso

I used to love Thai food, but the past 2 trips to Bangkok, my stomach go haywire uncontrollably...starting from heartburn, high acidity, till go back and forth to the toilet, luckily the toilet in Bangkok is super duper clean. Believe it or not, even cleaner that the toilet in Singapore....

Because of my stomach problem, the last 3 days in Hua Hin, I just ate in the hotel, western food :( What a waste of opportunity and money :(

The other ndeso story, ever since I have anxiety disorder, most of the time I took the flight, I always have panick attack *sigh* Shamefull isn't it? ndesoooo banged....So everytime I go for holidays, I always swear not to go for another holiday.

But remember the phrase: the rule is made to be broken?

So after I landed in Singapore I always can't wait to book for another holiday.....

Morale of the story: Long live Ndesooooooooooo

Holiday has Finished :(

Well...well....back to life, back to reality *nyanyi*
Once I landed in Singapore around 8pm plus, took taxi home, drove out to get a dinner, as I didn't have any appetite inside the aeroplane....in fact I got countless anxiety attack today *SIGH*
After dinner, went to inspect how is my project going *blush* I have an undergoing project which I still tried to control during my holiday in Bangkok and Hua Hin. In fact I'm still checking my email now...
Oh My God..how could I be so workaholics?

Ripped Off

I'm in Timbuktu now. So far not a pleasant holiday though. Been ripped of twice for 2 days on my holidays *be te abies*

First case, I was about to have dinner at Som Boon Seafood at Surrawong, actually I've tried the one in Pathumwan 2 weeks ago, and nothing spectacular. Being curious, I wanted to try this branch. It was raining and traffic jam (yupe, what can you expect from Bangkok?), and the restaurant was closed for annual holiday.

The taxi driver said,"I'll bring you to Silom Seafood". As I was having appointment with my friends to meet at Som Boon Seafood at Surrawong, I thought ok lah, I'd promised to bring them for dinner anyway. But the taxi driver was not to helpfull to relay the message to my friends' taxi driver.

So I thought when I arrived at the restaurant, I'll asked the restaurant people to speak to my friends' taxi driver, which happened as per my expectation. But when I arrived in that restaurant I smelled something not right, as I was forced to choose the seafood from the entrance, but as I was tired of the traffc jam, I just choosed accrodingly.

I ended up paying 8000 Baht for the stupid dinner, whereby the crab was overcooked, the Cuttlefish also overcooked, luckily the steamed fish, baked lobster, tom yam goong and veggie were nice...But what the $^%^%$#$$%^$##^^! 8000 baht in that restaurant *bah*

The second ripped off was this afternoon, on the way to BITEC, I've checked from the website, we could take BTS (Sky train) to On Nut Station and there would be shuttle bus taking people to BITEC.

Arrving in On Nut, I followed direction, but there is no sign of the bus, tried to stop a few taxis they didn't know about it *sigh* Finally found 1 stupid taxi, said yes, then asked whether i would like to take expressway, which I answered,"whatever" then I realised the driver was heading back to town, and I stopped him in the middle of highway, and pointing to my destination again. Which he pointed another destination *mo maraaaahhhh gag siyyyy?*

Finally he says,"Oh okay I know, but looked like he still continued his journey to town anyway. I thought I''d get down anywhere he stopped, then I found out that actually he was trying to earn more money from me, by going around the city highway, which of course no doubt, very bad traffic *siap2 golok*

So after a long wait while trying to calm my self down, I saw something look like exhibition hall, but my thought it would probably be Bangkok Convention Centre, which luckily turn out to be BITEC *gondok abies*

But frankly speaking Thai Taxi driver is worse than Jakarta, even though some are very nice, but they will be able to refuse to take you to certain destination *sigh* and tried to bring you for a joy ride, before reaching destination, just to earn extra money *sebel*

Oh my God, hopefully tomorrow will be a better day...

Substitute

After my come back to the coffee world *blush* even though not a full blast come back, I decided to stop again.
Well, the crave still there, and I've been trying to find substitute for my crave, but to no avail.
Milo ----> too milky
Tea ----> bought from the canteen downstairs taste yucky
Decaf coffee ----> tasteless

OMG the crave is coming again *sigh*
BTW quiz of the day, yesterday posting was "Subtitle", today posting is "Substitute", the question is,"What am i going to post tomorrow?" wakakakakka....

Subtitle

I always get distracted with subtitles. No matter how long I've been away from Indonesia, every time I watch a programme, be it movies in the cinema or just a normal show in the TV, if there is subtitle available, no matter English, Indonesian or Malay (unless Chinese lah of course...can't read mah :P), I'll focus to read the subtitle instead of hearing direct from the show *frustated*
I always wonder why am I so bloody damn lazy? Do you experience the same problem?

Hospital (Again)

Due to a very heavy work loads these pas few weeks, on Wednesday nite, I rushed my self to the hospital again *sigh* Actually I was trying to fight for the whole day, as I was thinking, anyway I'd be seeing my cardiologist on Thursday.
But I couldn't take it anymore, so I decided to left office and rushed to the A&E department. Arriving there, I still tried to compose my self before I got out from the car, hoping that I'd get better, to find that my condition worsened.
Having no choice, I turned my self in, based on first round diagnosed, everything is normal (as usual), but my hand and foot started to tremble, and the doctor also witnessed, so he asked me to go for ECG, which also turned out to be normal.
Let's gossip *teteup*, when I was there, there was this auntie (let's call her auntie lah, middle age woman, which is very slim and looks like she get nose job as well) waking in with the blood flowing from her leg. Not a heavy flow, but I just think she purposedly to exagerate the things, by not wiping off the blood from her wound, just below her knee.
Then I heard she was talking to the husband,"Eh can you ask the nurse whether I need a plastic surgeon or not".
Still not believing my ears, I tried to eavesdrop again when the husband talking to the nurse,"Nurse, can I check with you, does my wife need a plasic surgeon or not?"
*gubraks*
Her wound only the size of "upil", and excuse me? Plastic surgeon? *gubraks lagi*But anyway...she is just a vain auntie...
Happy week end everyone...

Ocean Eleven

Because of one things led to another, we (as me and the gank @ the office) are very busy finishing all the projects that come continuously without any break, even to the extend they overlap each other.
Then I realised that our office has become like Ocean Eleven the movie, where computers and cables are every where...
Kayak sarang hacker geto loh...
Morale of the story capek boooow....

Bete Bin Surete

Have you ever hate somebody soooo much until you feel like killing that person slowly with a lots of pain?
That's what exactly I feel since yesterday..not only 1 person, but a few person...
I'm thinking to get somebody, may be Japanese to kill those person, because I intend to ask the killer to slice those stupid bastard, bit by bit, and eat it like sashimi...
I'll provide the knife (of course blunt knife not the sharp one *wicked smile*), japanese soy sauce and wasabi...any body interested?

Bad Experience with Holiday Inn

On January I booked hotel stays for Chinese New Year periods through Priority Club Member website, and received the acknowledgement email automatically from the system.
End of January, I tried to make amendment to my initial bookings through the website again, but I couldn't do so. I called their customer service number 1800-787-1221 to modify my bookings.
To play safe, a few days before I left for my trips, I double checked my email, to my surprised I found out that the price had changed from the original price, that I got from the automated email confirmation.
I called the customer service again, to clarify about this matter, and it became even worse, I triple booked the room after I spoke to the guy, I tried to call back, but spoke to different officer, had to repeat all over again, which is very tiring *sigh* finally he said he would transferred me to the first guy, then the line cut off #%^$#$#%^&&***
I was tired, but I still tried to call but because it was night in Australia, so I thought it must had been the staff from UK who answered my called this time. Tired of explaining, I was thinking to call again the next day which is only a few hours before I left, I had to explain all over again *deep sigh* then I asked is there any guest relation officer numer that I could call to clarify this matter. He gave a number, but I couldn't get through.
So Icalled back the same number and asked to be transferred to guest relation officer, but this time this girl by the name of Christine, insisted that she would try to solve my problems. There I goes again repeating the very long winded history of my booking...and she said I should call Hongkong to clarify, which I found very ridiculuous.
They have 1800 number, which is free, but yet they couldn't solve my problem. The point is why should I incure the cost of International call for the mistake that I didn't commit.
I still insisted to be transferred to her manager or guest relationship officer, but she also insisted that she wouldn't do so.
I also asked for explanation how could this things happened, and she just simply said, it's human error, which I found it's very ridiculous.
On the other hand I also tried my best to book rooms in another hotel, but I couldn't find any. Can you imagine, I was about to go holiday with my parents, without any assurance about the reservation and I'm only about a few hours away to catch my plane.
I did try to drop a few messages through their websites as well about this things,but I've never received any apology or acknowledgement, or anything from their side.
Finally, I did left a comment to the hotel which I stayed in Hong Kong, the manager of Hong Kong hotel sent me an apology email, and said that this matter he had to forward to his head quarter, but until this moment I haven't heard anything at all from their head quarter.
Don't you think it's damn ridiculous? Holiday Inn, which has a lots of hotel in every country could have this level of customer service?
Of course I swear that I won't stay in Holiday Inn anymore, I just think,well it's not my class anyway....with a couple of dollar more, you could stay in Hyatt, Marriott or even Westin...why should I spend my money for this type of bad customer service..
I wonder how they could they win the freddie award with such a bad attitude....
Moral of the story, don't waste your time with Holiday Inn, stay somewhere else....
Meanwhile...I want to go to timbuktu...for sure I don't stay in Holiday Inn this time

sakaaaaauuwwwwww

Yellow everybody *nyengir* Thank you for missing me so much *pe de abies* I think I'm under cursed or something, because I can't login to blogger through my pc in the office *be te* Meanwhile I've sworn that I won't log into the computer at home, unless unavoidable, eg. for playing online game *lohhhh????*
Well, now I'm using the other pc in the next room though...so I have a chance to update my blog...yeah yeah it's only next room, but you know laziness speak louder than walking to the other room *nyari alasaaaaaannn*
Anyway, I've quit drinking coffee for quite sometime, even though sometimes I could have withdrawal symtom, which usually I compromise by trying to get decaf coffee, even though I know it tastes sucks...
Until last year I guess, I was in Hero Supermarket (Jakarta of course..), and passed by the coffee and tea row. I started to take Teh Botol, Teh 2 Tangs tea leaves (well Indonesian jasmine tea, emang kaga ada matinye cink....., and without realising I also took some Kopi Kapal Api and put into my shopping basket *bukan ngutil lah yauuuuuuuuu*
So when I sniffed the Kopi Kapal Api, suddenly all my safe guard loosen up, so I get hooked again to coffee, even though I complaint the 3 in 1 version was too sweet, and regardless I would get worse palpitation after I drink coffee, especially Indonesian Coffee, which could make my palpitation to the extend that I couldn't breathe. But for Kopi Kapal Api, my suffering is worth, but not other coffee though...
Some more...there is one of my beloved supplier *ngelirik cika* who always brought me back Kopi Kapal Api (alias barang laknat) everytime she goes back to Indonesia. I don't know which one I love more, Cika or Kopi Kapal Api *mulai ngelantur*
I've been drinking Kapal Api once a day for quite sometimes, and right now I'm craving liaoooooooo......OMG sakaaaauuuwwww booooooo.....
By the way...I keep mentioning Kapal Api how many time ya? Hmmm I think I should call somebody to ask for endorsement *wicked smile* and if you were that somebody...pleaseeee endorse me yaaaaa or if not....mmmm I know your secret though *ngancem* or if one of you happened to be connected to Hero Supermarket or Teh Botol or Teh 2 Tang, I also don't mind to be endorsed loh.....wakakakakkakakkakka.........
Keto'e aku beneran sakaaaauuuw yo? *blush*
But actually moral of the story I love Indonesia so muuuucccchhhh geto loh....*ngeles*

Work Oh work

Why I seems have endless work to do?

Earthquake

This morning I received sms from my friend in Jakarta, asking me whether I could feel the earthquake or not.
I always feel a lots of movement in my office, as my building is the industrial complex, so a lot of heavy duty thingy moving around. So I always feel the shake all the time.
So I logged into Asiaone to check about the latest update, yupe there was an earthquake in Padang *sigh*
I feel terribly sad for our brother and sister there, hopefully they're allright...

Bo Ceng Li

It's not about that tenor singer, that one is Andrea Bocelli *plesetan*
Bo Ceng Li means mmm what ya....let me think, mmm not fair....
My recept told me that she met the uncle bo kam guan (=don't want to lose or he always to be number one), my office neighbour with weird behaviour itu lohhh... when she came back from buying lunch.
She said the uncle was talking to his staff saying in Chinese, but let me translate lah ya...
Uncle,"I gave you 1 week holiday for Chinese New Year so I'll deduct your leave or if you don't have any leave left, I'll deduct your pay!"
Well...well...sounds familiar huh? Just like cuti massal (=mass leaves) during Hari Raya in Indonesia...mmm so far I understand that in Singapore there is no such thing as company close for Chinese New Year, then the boss will deduct the leave...this is the first time I heard about that.
Well...he might be influenced by his brother, that has a company in Batam, whereby he supplies all the goods to.
Being wicked, I told my recept,"Eh why don't you said 'My boss doesn't do that leh' in front of them?"
wakakkakakakkaka........tanduk guwe keluar euyyyy

My Heart Cry

Hmmm sounds very melodrama ya? *blush*
By the way, I'm in Hong Kong now, and the hotel provided free internet access from the room, and I bring my laptop with me *yuupppeeeee* So my hands are of course very itchy, want to update my blog, but of course no time for blogwalking....busy bowwwww.... *alasan*
Anyway yesterday, it's been always my ritual to visit this restaurant, by the name of Tay Ping Koon, every time I visited Hong Kong. It's a very old western restaurant, and all the waiters are old uncle as old as my dad, or may be a bit younger.
Tay Ping Koon, always been frequented by the high level of Hong Kong-ers, which you can see from their look and manner. By the way I found this restaurant from the guide to Hong Kong from Femina magazine (Indonesian famous female magazine). The price quite reasonable though...
I was sitting in the corner the most inside, while I was doing people watching, there it was on the other corner, one elderly gentleman, much more older than my dad, sitting by him self, with a straight body, dressed up in a very neat coat and tie.
He gave all the waiter the hong bao (=red packet), and he seemed quite famous there. I didn't know, what's going inside my heart, but my heart started to cry when I saw him. His so well behaved, must be from the very very rich family, but yet there he was sitting by him self, even though he looks quite fragile *sigh*
That situation made me lose my appetite *sigh*
Is it sign of aging? I'm not easily cry with certain occasion, but now my heart become so fragile and soft *sigh* What's happening nah? *Thai Accent*

Tajirr...Bowww

I've already mentioned in a few last postings about how annoying the telemarketer in Singapore is. Nah, a few days ago, I received one call.
She,"Good afternoon may I speak to Flona, please?"
Me,"Yes, speaking".
She,"Oh Hi Ms Flona, my name is XXXXXXX, and I'm calling on behalf of Standard Chartered Bank. I would like to share something to you bla....bla..bla.. (very long, I couldn't get it what she says anyway).....then I have this special offer for you, a Personal loan with a very low interest rate, how does it sound ms Flona?"
Me,"Ouw, thanks for your special offer, I'm not interested in it.."
I hadn't had a chance to finish my line then she cut me off,"Oh, why? It has a very low interest rate..."My blood started to boil and I cut her off also but with a calm tone,"Well, I have ABUNDANCE of MONEY, why should I take your loan?"She answered with a pissed off voice,"Oh Good for you then, good luck.."
I politely answered,"Thanks for your offer..and Happy Chinese New Year"
She hung up...
ABUNDANCE of MONEY? wakakakkakka....tajir bowwww....Amien deh Amien....
Money sih I have, but Abundance...well..if Indonesian Rupiah, have a few millions lah...but Singapore Dollar...weleh....still looking for a spoonful of rice a a big bowl of diamond lah yau...
Anyway wanted to wish you who celebrate a Happy Prosperous Chinese New Year, may you'll be granted with a good health, bright future, and ABUNDANCE of MONEY *wicked smile*
But even though you're not celebrating, no harm to wish you all those wish, just say Amien...May God grant our wish, ya gak? *wink*
Oh ya....I'm in Timbuktu now...and I forgot to bring my handphone...so sorry if I ccan't reply to your sms or attending your call....

V Days

Happy V days everyone, seems that today is the cash cows day for most of the Hotel and F&B industry, and also retail business.
I feel that every special day is getting more commersial as the year passed by, no meaning of celebrating the occasion anymore *be te*
I read in the newspaper the price of Valentine package is getting even crazier each year *sigh* but anyway I'm not going to buy or do anything mah...Valentine's day is just another day, rite? nothing special...
Meanwhile I've been burnt with my workloads *sob sob*
Anyway Happy valentine's day for you all *hugs*

(Un)healthy Eating

Last Friday, worked late in the office, dinner : Pizza Hut Delivery, but anyway the prosperity pizza is very yummy, why don't they put into their regular menu?
Sunday lunch I was in Kuala Lumpur, couldn't decide what to eat, and so many road was closed due to Tour De Langkawi, so I decided to eat Nandos, but I love it...
Evening, started to drive back to Singapore, but it was dinner time when I was in the middle of no where, decided to stop at R&R Ayer Keroh, had A&W *sigh* not nice, that's why they can't survive in Singapore...
What a meal....I've been eating all those junk food these few days *sigh*
Now it's time to exercise....

Dogol

Latest News, Anna Nicole Smith has died boooo *shocked* And because of that it's very hard for me to access my yahoo mail...I think everybody is rushing to yahoo website to read about it *sebel*
Anyway, I was in China Embassy for 2 days to apply visa, yeah I'm going to China again, but this time please pray for me, hope the last incident wouldn't be happened, coz i'll be going with my parents *ngelap keringet*
Being 2 days in the embassy, i witnessed a lot of funny, weird and unique behaviour.
The highest rating is happened during writing down my particular in the application form. There next to me stood a Singaporean lady, accompanied by her friend, which i assumed is a gay.
So the lady asked the friend,"Aiyoh why so troublesome have to fill up so many question?"
Friend,"Aiyah just fill up accordingly lah".
Lady,"Name?"
Friend,"Of course write down your name lah, you think what? write down my name meh?"
I was about to laugh, but anyway not polite mah....
Lady,"Wah got write down chinese name some more.."
Friend,"You're Chinese what! You can just jot down your Chinese name in Chinese Character".
It was even harder for me to hold my laugh *sigh*
Lady,"Handphone number, okaylah....but home number? Aiyoh I don't have phone at my home, how?"
Friend,"Aiyoh at era where got people use their home phone anymore? So outdated meh? Just leave it balnk lah.."
Lady,"Purpose of visit? Aiyoh why they have to make things difficult, so kay poh (=busy body) meh, til I have to write down purpose of visit?"
Friend,"Just said visiting your mistress there lah, they are famous what!"
Wah it was really hard for me to hold my laughter *sigh*
Some Singaporean really could be spoofy like us also ya? wakkakakakakakkakaka.....
happy week end every one

Competition

My parents are here. So there is the competition in having the right to see which programmes *sigh*
Frankly speaking, I'm not a TV person, I'm more to radio person, but then there are some programmes that I like to watch, Indonesian Infotainment (if I didn't forget about it, but most of the times I always forget *blush*) in the morning, and Makan King 2, and I don't know what else lah....
Anyway the Indonesian infortainment I watch it in the morning during my brekkie time, but then, my father like to watch the TVRI at that time, which doing some English lesson *sigh*
So every morning, I tried my best to occupied the tv first (but I always lose *sad*, an even though I win, then my dad will easily said,"Mana remotenya?" then change to TVRI *gondok*).
Last friday, finally I managed to occupy the TV first, but in the middle of the infotainment, my dad said,"Mana remotenya?"
Reluctantly I gave the remote to my Dad, but luckily when he turned to TVRI, hoooraaaayyyyy....no lesson on Friday, so he was dissapointedly returned the remote to me *lompat2*
Actually, when my parents not here I also seldom see the infotainment kok, may be the competition that give me "the kick" in competition kali yak? *senyum manis*

Banjir Euy banjir...

Jakarta is flooding very badly. I feel sad, angry, helpless, etc...
I grew up just in front of Ciputra Mall, between my place and Ciputra Mall is only separated by a river, which was frequently flooded by then also. But after they made a new river thru Pantai Indah Kapuk, the flood have never came back.
But then I just felt upset that people just throw anything to river, treating the river as their rubbish dump, the government have never taken any action against it, never tried to clean up the river as well.
When there is a new housing complex or building is up, has the developer ever considered about the drainage system? Or the government asked the developer about the drainage system? *narik napas*
I used to joke when I was still a small child with my friends, would Jakarta be flooding very badly until reaching the top of Monas?
So far my parents are here in Singapore, my house according to my neighbour is still safe, my aunties are safe. Thanks God.
I have already sms-ed some of you who is staying in Jakarta. Most of you are well, but then there are some that is quite badly affected by the flood. Just one word that I could say, Take care my friend. may be you can stock up some food, for emergency case.

What A "Wonderful" Surprise

I went back home, tired, exhausted from work. Once I came out from the lift and turn to my unit direction, jreng...jreng....surprise...surprise....
Suddenly I saw a laundry hanger installed in front of my neighbour door, which by right is a common corriddor.
Even though it is installed in front of their door, don't you think it damages the esthetique of the common corridor. And also according to Chinese tradition, it's a taboo to stand under the laundry, it will bring bad luck.
For me, there is no way to avoid, because when I take off my shoes before i enter my house, I don't have any choice other than standing under those stupid laundry...
Well..well...it's a bitter sweet experience staying in a pigeon hole (that's how I called a flat) *sigh*

Katro

Tadi ceritanya gue gak nyetir, dan gue benci banget sama supir taksi. Jadi gue naek MRT trus bus menuju kantor.
Di perjalanan, buat ngisi waktu luang gue mulai sms2-an, yah kalo gak kan kasian gue sendirian, bengong2, kalo kesambet gimane? wakakkakakakk...

True Blue Singaporean part 2

I was driving in my office building car park. Normally I drive slowly when I'm in the car park, because you'll never know if somebody suddenly came out to cross the road without checking whether there is a car passing by or not, or may be somebody just suddenly came out from the parking lots without checking whether it's clear to go out or not.\
Anyway, this stupid idiot, the car behind me, as usual not patient enough, and this idiot took another lane, which supposed to be reverse way, just to take over me *sigh* And it's a public secret that Singaporean having a habit to speed in the carpark. Which I think it's dangerous to do so...
Till this moment I still can't get what's the meaning of always speed in the carpark? Do they think it's cool to create a sound like the one in the movie? (when you speed and turn, there is that movie sound during the chasing scene)...
Aiyoh, never been beaten by the whole kampung people, have they?

True Blue Singaporean

I was at the bank, was walking to the customer service counter to be exact. Then suddenly, 1 stupid uncle run and hit the customer service desk from my right.
Luckily I was not in the foul mood. If I was nasty, I could just had created a scene there. Too bad I was calm and composed.
What the hell did he think he was doing for? Could he save a lot of his time by cutting me out of the queue?

One Night in Beijing

Did you see America's Next Top Model season 6 if not mistaken. Where the would be winner, Danielle was rushed to the hospital in Bangkok, dued to dehidration?
Nah that thing also happened to me when I was in Beijing last December *blush* I'd never drunk so much water during the flight in my life before. But that day, on the flight to Beijing, I was asking water for so many time from the stewardess. They might found me so agitated for asking so much water, but as usual, I always gave my killer smile when I asked for water donk *blush*
Anyway I'd prepared all the clothing, for the arrival, except, I didn't wear the winter undergarment. But for upper body was well prepared. Around dinner time, I went out to look for dinner in Wang Fu Jing Area (equivalent to Singapore's Orchard Rd), by the time I stepped out from the taxi, the cold strong wind blasted without mercy. So I ran into the nearest building, had dinner, then went around that shopping center which is quite huge. At the end I decided to have a walk outside for a while before heading back to the hotel.
But everything was ready to close as the time had been approaching 10 pm, so I took the taxi back to the hotel. Instead of stopping at the hotel, I stopped at 7 eleven nearby the hotel to buy some mineral water.
On the way back to the hotel, I felt my head was very pain, just like when you drink a very cold drink, and I felt it had to be caused by the cold weather, the temperature was -4 degree, I walked faster to the hotel, looking for warm water at the hotel lounge, but they said they didn't have any.
So I rushed to the room, and made my self a cup of warm sugar water, my heartbeat started to increase, so I called reception to ask for the nearest hospital, but they quoted a Chinese Governemnt Hospital *sigh* I asked whether they knew any Private Hospital, but they said no. I checked my tourist guide book, which I bought from Singapore, and found 3 International clinic, so I decided to go to 1 of them after gave them a ring.
I asked the concierge to talk to the taxi driver after I showed them the address, but they were no helpful *sigh* Luckily the taxi driver was kind enough to call the clinic using his mobile phone. And I asked him how far was it, he said 15 to 20 mins.
Inside my heart, I told my self, I had to fight, I must not die this way in Beijing. Arriving in the clinic, Oh My God, the doctor English was not even fluent, when I spoke to him, I had to repeat a few times *sigh*
He asked me to take a medicine, but I asked him what's that for, he said to reduce my heart rate, but after I took, my condition was worsened, my heart beat increased tremendously, I started to shiver because I felt even colder than before, and I developed spasm on my feet (Kaki gue keram geto loh).
Of course I was worried, I said in tears,"Why am I getting worse? Doesn't it should have been tamed by your medicine?"
He decided to out me on drip, but the nurse couldn't find my vein *sigh* Finally he asked he nurse to make the sodium solution water (=oralit) for me, and asked me to take one more of the same medicine.
Being hopeless, I just took the medicine, I thought,"Aiyah, already worsened, die die lah, don't care..."
After that the nurse did the ECG checked on me, and everything was allright. So I was discharged. The next day, I got a very bad diarrhea, until I didn't have anything to be discharged anymore *sigh* while on the other hand I didn't have appetite to eat anything.
So I decided to book a flight back to Singapore in the afternoon, luckily, I managed to do so. And the 6 hours flying back to singapore was quite a torture for me *sigh* Of course I visited my doctor the next day after I arived, and according to her, I was dehydrated. Aiyoh...reminds me of Danielle *blush*
It reminds me of a song "One Night in Beijing" I don't know after this incident whether I still have the courage to go there anymore or not *sigh* but frankly speaking Beijing people is much more cultured and kind compared with those in Shanghai.
Have a blessed week end everyone.
