I'm Back (for the day lah ya...)

Hola...I'm back *nyengir*
This morning I supposed to wake up at 7 am, but I don't know how...by the time I really walked out of the bed it's 8 am *blush* I wondered how did I manage to wake up 5 am with out fail every day when I was still at school in Jakarta *mikir* Hayo piyeee? Somebody explain please....
Anyway, I sms-ed the girl that supposed to deal with me, informing I'd arrive around 9.30 instead of 8.30 *blush* so far out ya? wakakakakkaka...I arrived there about 9.20, found out that the girl said she supposed to meet me at 10 am, aiyoh...but her assistant is very good, she said," let's not waste your time, start now lah.." which I agreed
By default I have to be under that girl til lunch, meanwhile after lunch I'll be under that poisonous bitch *sigh* but that nice girl finished quite early, as she said she doesn't want to bombard us with so many things in a day, so I thought I could back to my office til lunch finish though. But checking with the bitch, she said it's better to start with her that time....so ok lah I agreed.
Oh my God, bloody bitch, knowing the new contract with my company, she purposedly let all the job piled over there, waiting for the staff from my company to handle her bloody don't know how many months loads of worked has she been collected til now *sigh*
She really tries to make the full use of the contract, I really pity my new staff, but I have no power to help, hopefully my new staff can survive there lah...the job sounds quite easy but tedious, I don't think I could be able to handle that type of job...anyway coz there is no more training going on, so I left their office early for today...*lega*
Now trying to cope with my sleepiness, even though had grabbed coffee from Starbucks (excuse me, will you endorse me pleasee Mr Starbucks?), of course decaf and low fat lah, if not may be now I'm not in the office, but landed in hospital lah..
But tomorrow, gotta be there again, but probably not as early as today lah ya...

Diarrhea

Sunday nite, hanging out in the office, just because I left my hp in the office friday nite, as I left in a hurry coz I had to attend stupid boring function that nite *regret*
Some more I'm having diarrhea now, which I suspected from the lunch today *sigh* Rushing back to the office to get my hp, back side itchy, turned on my PC, and check my office e-mail (which I try to refrain doing so from home), at the end, here I am, glued on to my chair doing some work *workaholic mode on*
What to do? My responsibility is very high though, coz tomorrow I will not be in the office as I said, probably by doing some works tonite, so tomorrow nite after my japanese class, I will not need to go back to the office again? *doubtfull*
Quite spooky in the office, just imagine lah, I think the whole building only me, but what the heck lah ya....just now suddenly the fax received something, I was shock bit lah ya...but used to it already...
Okay mo minta doa restu lagi nih buat besok *sungkem* Over there I won't be able to have access to the internet, I only can access their intranet *sick* So I don't know whether I can update my blog from home for the next only God knows how long lah ya....Hopefully I can survive ya...
Have a nice week ahead....

Wish Me Luck

Update on my sickness first lah ya....I think it shouldn't be any problems, just because of the work and the stress, so my body goes crazy, all things came out in the same time, migraine, gastric, panick attack, spasm, muscle constraction...but as the doctor wanna play safe here, he insisted on doing ECG on me that nite, and then refers me to cardiologist lah...
Anyway, starting from Monday I will be put in the dungeon *cry* I have to be based in one of my client's office for only God knows *sigh* I only hope between 2 to 4 weeks lah...if could be shorter, I'll be the happy enough *sigh*
You remember that 2 head snake? *sobs* nah...I'll be working with her from Monday onwards, in her office *panick* Doh I have to play politics, and I hate politic, I can't play this game well *sigh* You know me lah...I'm a very easy to read person...how ah? *singlish* but I don't have any other choice leh...die die must go there one *more singlish* alamak...gawat gag siy?
Only 1 consolation, let me tell you ar...the manager is oh quite cute...wakakkaka...but then have to be proffesional, rite? Don't mix business with pleasures *grin*
Then come again the bad news...when first I met him, I tought,"Hmm quite cute ya..."
On subsequent meeting, then I feel,"Eh this guy look familiar..."
On one of the event that I have to attend, I brought my partner in crime along, suddenly she said,"Eh Flon, tuh orang koq mirip...." then she stopped, then I looked at her with a horror look...and we scream together," aarrrghhhhh......"a lot of people turned their face to us *blush*
By then I realised he looks like doh...hard to write...hmm somebody that had left a lot of memories in my life and I'd tried very hard to forget...that's the bad news...
Luckily (still try to get something positive lah..) my cubicle will be right at the back...wish me luck ya...I have to survive nih...and I will survive *sing*
Have a nice week end all....

Bagaikan Kacang Lupa Kulitnya

Touch Wood dulu ahhhhhh....
Have you ever met some experiences like somebody has already been succeeded, then he will become arrogant or snobbish? Or some companies (especially retail) when they succeed then they become lose in quality of service?
First Hongkong Cafe, which is located in East Coast Road, the first time I visited there, I felt the food was fabulous, ambiance good, everything good lah, secnd visit also still the same, then suddenly the third visit, the food qualities was bad, drinks to sweet, and their opening hours has changed, before hand they open for sunday lunch, now not anymore *sigh* I knew they had succeeded, but success doesn't mean you can change your attitude towards work commitment and quality of works, agree?
Second, last nite I was having a chest cramp so I decided to go to Gleneagles Hospital. I found that the service quality there now is quite bad. When I saw the doctor, and he asked me about my medical history, to my surprise I found out that now they gave the doctor a new clean card *sigh* weird, huh? I think I was still there a few months back, not really that long though to throw my history card away...besides the doctor in charge is no longer that cute doctor anymore *nyengir* Next time I won't go there anymore....
Last but not least after seeing all those incidents I hope that whatever I have achieved in my life until this moment, I'll make sure I will not slackened towards my works and I'll try to do better than what I am now, and always be humble...seperti padi..semakin berisi semakin merunduk....

Clash

First of all, I saw a doctor yesterday, when I said I have a bone ache, she asked the same question as what I was thinking when I started to feel my bone is aching,"Had you by any chance bitten by mosquitos?" hehhhe...yupe after that bloody denqueue fever, everytime I have fever, that's the first question that is going into my mind. But anyway I only have viral infection lah, but now, my voice is oh so sexy, more sexy than banci who always sing in warung in front of my place in Jakarta *blush* (it remind me of Jangan Ganggu Banci song, which made me laugh by my self when I first heard that song, inside the car, driving alone *blush*)
Secondly..Ooopss I'm caught by Yuli *blush* hehehhe..she knows me well now...if I'm in troubles usually I'll have a lot of activities...the more activities mean more trouble *blush* I know everybody that heard I'm taking Japanese lesson always said,"What? Are you crazy? 24 hours in a day is not enough for your work but yet you still take another class". *nyengir*
Anyway...my partner in crime is going to Bangkok this week for training, and during week end, she'll go Koh Samui with her colleague for holiday. I've already tried my best to dig information from her about what time is her flight from Bangkok going to be, and which resort she's goin to stay. All the info has already completed, and I was planning to give her surprise by going there and staying in the same resort and appear to her suddenly *devil smile*, like what I did to Agnes *nyengir*, but this time I don't have any accomplice though, I don't know her colleague *sigh*
Well I'm thinking wait until Monday to book air ticket and hotel, and suddenly my client called me,"Hey Flo, we're having an event this week end, you have to come, promise?" Arrrghhhhhh...all my plants broke down into pieces *sobs* Some more then I realised that I have another event to attend as well on that day, around same time...
Alamak..now I'm in trouble, 2 events in the same time, if only I were an amoeba, can split my self into two, or may be I had twin sister *sigh*
May be I should hold a contest looking for somebody looks like me, but actually I have one...but I don't feel she looks like me though...but almost everybody ask whether she's my sister or what...but very far lah...bloody far....I'm more pretty *pe de* wakakkakakak....

Last Week Update

First of all...thanks for all your encouragement for my last posting, well..I think that's really what friend are for, friends keep everybody life goes on...That's something I've been missing after I landed in Singapore, if you saw my posting for my valentine's day below, all those photos, all those friends, I used to have lotsa friends everywhere, even when I was in Jakarta...but suddenly after I came to Singapore *sigh*, I only have a handfull of physical friends, but thanks God I still have a lot of virtual friends which is you all...
Last week was not a really good week for me, there are a lot of battle and frustation inside me, but anyway here I am still surviving though *nyengir* I can't sleep as per normal (which is even though my normal sleep has already been abnormal for the normal people *nah loh bingung kan*) especially Friday, can't sleep, till about 2 am (uupss it's Saturday already ya...) then woke up at 6 am, gasping for my breath, I thought, this is it, good by world...but here I am still here writing my blog *nyengir lagi*
So after I managed to control my breathing, I decided to go out for a walk and have brekkie outside, suddenly jreng...I missed Sydney, when I'd moved to Kingsford, my Saturday morning routine is walking from my place in Anzac Parade, all the way down to Coogee beach, if I could walk early then I'll be able to see the full perfect sunrise ceremony (it's not a cultural ceremony though, that's how I called it *nyengir*), but if not, then I only enjoy the last half of it, then after that I would have brekkie in one of those cafe by the beach, yupe...all by my self, what a perfect life....
I always dream to have a flat or condominium or even a house by the beach, because I just love beach so much better than mountain. One day I have to make sure that I'll be able to realise my dream, but don't know where...
Allrighty back to the story line. Because there is no such thing as Coogee beach in Singapore, so I decided to drive to West Coast Beach, that's the way they called it even though there is no beach there *sigh* there is a sea, and a park, and they're building the promenade now... Before proceeding to West Coast Beach, I decided to buy newspaper first, one thing, in Singapore the newspaper man quite lazy, 6 am my newspaper hasn't arrived, I think they arrived around 8 am, ridiculous, isn't it? back in Jakarta I could read my newspaper as early as 5 am *sigh*, went to 7 eleven, they newspaper hasn't arrived either *arrrghhh* so I drove to Holland V, looked like they'd just finished unloading the stock *sigh*
I was tempted to have brekkie in Holland V instead, but I checked BK, Starbucks, Coffee Beans hadn't opened, lazy to check the other side, what the heck, I tought, West Coast Beach will always be there 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, yupe..it's Mc D *sigh* they got Mc Cafe, but I'm not sure what time do they open...
Arrived there, I order big breakfast, even though I couldn't finished *blush* sitting under the sun...reading my newspaper, had a brisk walk (I can't jog, it will make my thigh very ichy, but if I played basketball and tennis, I run like nothing, surprise huh? Me too still wondering very hard..why is that so..)
Afternoon meeting up with friends, did some shopping *sigh* Actually I'd promised my self not to spend on clothing this month, but...suddenly I have something come up, I have to be stationed in my client's place, so I have to update my wardrobe donks *nyari alasan*, so here I go shopping time....as usual lah...over spent (hmm like real huh? I'd never set the budget though, but just feel, wow...I spent so much hehehhe...reminds me of that book Shopaholics.. heheheh)
Then I started something wrong with my body, I'm sick *horayyy* till now, losing my lovely voice *sigh*, going to see the doctor in the afternoon, and rest at home till evening, then I'll go to Japanese Class (I still owe you this story, don't I?)
Have a good week ahead yaaa.....

Week end Reflection

I was talking over the phone to my friend on Wednesday nite, and I didn't know how it was started, suddenly the "gokil" topic changed to life...Suddenly she said,"Waduh Flon, gue salut ama elo, selama ini gue tuh pikir elo orang yang paling trouble free banget, soalnya elo gokil abis sih...tapi gua gak nyangka di balik ke-gokil-an lo itu ternyata elo tuh mengalami banyak banget hal, tapi elo masih bisa tetep ceria dan gokil, gue gak kebayang deh kalo gue yang musti ngadepin masalah ginian sebagai elo, kayanya gue bakalan dah give up dari kapan-kapan kali ya..."
After I hung up the phone, suddenly I recalled these verse:

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. (1 Cor 10:13)

Then I started to think,"Is it because God knows that I still can bear with all of these series of things?"
I just hope I will still be able to bear with all the things though, but until how far?
Have a great week end everyone *hugs*

On Diet

Trying to go on diet, not for losing weight purposes, but because of I'm going to have an exam at the end of this month.
Wondering what's the connection between exam and diet huh? *evil smile*
It's my singing class exam lah (eh not Singapore Idol lah, oh ya I supposed to join ya...there still be opening this Sunday, will you vote for me ar? *senyum manis*)...coz on Tuesday I had fried food plus sambal belachan for my lunch, and my voice was broken down *sigh* Stupid me, when the teacher asked me to choose 3 songs to sing, which comprised of 2 Indonesian songs (yeah I sing Indonesian song most of the time, remember I'm the Duta Indonesia *grin*) and 1 English songs, then I choosed Kaulah Segalanya-Uthe, Bukan Cinta Biasa-Siti Nurhaliza, and Can You Feel The Love Tonight-Lion King.
Idiotic, right? Especially for Siti Nurhaliza, wow, she has a very high voice, she sings with head voice, and you know my voice is quite low...yeah that's me, loves challenges...
Anyway I have to eat something soupy (eh not soapy ya...), like instant noodle *grinned* wakakkaka...for the next 2 weeks, and go to Kbox more often *ngelirik Yuli* (like real huh? so far I've been once only, and it's because my Karaoke buddy came from Sydney)...but karaoke alone? so sad huh? not fun also..Going to karaoke is not about the singing, but it's about fun and togetherness...
Oh no... now I'm started to miss Sydney again, I mean, I miss my friends inside those photos below, especially Megumi and Robby, my faihtful karaoke buddy...

Happy Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is here, remind me my high school days, wearing pink ribbons, begging teacher for cancelling lesson, so that we could play some games, ordering pizza hut delivery..etc..etc...For me nothing special...if you love someone and that person loves you also, then every day is valentine's day, isn't it?
Happy Valentine's Day everyone, I love you all....

Oma

Phew....finally Chinese New Year is over (officially it's 2 weeks), so yesterday was the last day...with my parents here, I had a very long visiting lists *sigh* which usually when my parents are not here, I try to cut short by only visited the core family member only.
Have you noticed that Grandma always dote the first grandchild available?
It works on me, while I'm practically the first grandchild for grandma from my mom' side, where 3 of my mom's elder sister are in Hongkong, and they hadn't been back for so long, which made my position as 1st grandchild even stronger. She doted me a lots, even when later on a few cousins came in, I'm still number one *grin* but too bad when I left for Sydney she felt sick, and passed away after a few years *sigh*
On the other hand, from my dad's side, I don't know I'm in what rank, and I know that I was not in the 1st rank, but later I learned that even though I didn't feel her love, and I was really scared of her, she also loved me, my cousins who were staying with her, told me, every Sunday, she used to sit in front of TV, saying that I might be appeared in the children show (Aneka Ria Anak - Anak *jadul banged*) one day...and without failed she did that until I grew up become a teenager, but too bad, she didn't have a chance to see me on TV when I was representing my school for Cepat Tepat *jadul lagi*, she passed away long before that *sigh*
So now, here I am, grandma-less, but my best friend's grandma is staying in Singapore, ever since I moved to Singapore, every year, my best friend asks me to become a flower courier for her grandma, which I happily do. And by any chance, my best friend is also the first grandchild from Oma *sigh*
Everytime my best friend comes to Singapore, she'll stay in Oma place, and of course I'll go to Oma place to pick her up, or only to hang around there with her, gossiping, flipping TV programmes etc..etc...
Anyway Oma is getting old, but she's still strong and fresh, the last time my best friend came was on October for her sister wedding, and I don't know why, suddenly Oma said to me,"Kamu jadi cucu oma aja deh...sering-sering dateng ke sini dong nengokin Oma".
Well I guess Oma is very lonely...and on week end I visited Oma for Chinese New Year, everything she does, exactly representing my grandma from my mom side, and suddenly made me missed her a lot *hiks*
When I asked permission to leave, suddenly Oma hugged me and cry...Oh my God, I don't know what to do *sigh* I only said," Happy New Year yah Oma, biar Oma sehat selalu dan panjang umur..."
I'll continue to visit Oma....

If only

Remember the choose your own adventure book? *jadul banget yak* The book that let you choose your own destiny during the reading.
That book made me start to wonder if I hadn't left Jakarta a few years back, what will my life be? Will it be better? Or worse?

Andaikan Kau Datang

Terlalu indah dilupakan
Terlalu sedih dikenangkan
Setelah aku jauh berjalan
Dan kau...kutinggalkan

Betapa hatiku bersedih
Mengenang kasih dan sayangmu
Setulus pesanmu kepadaku
Engkau'kan menunggu

Andaikan kau datang kembali
Jawaban apa yang kan kuberi
Adakah jalan yang kau temui
Untuk kita kembali lagi

Bersinarlah bulan purnama
Seindah serta tulus cintanya
Bersinarlah terus sampai nanti
Lagu ini kuakhiri

That Koes Plus' song, that is re-sung by Ruth Sahanaya in Salute to Koes Plus album, like Yoan said, really wonderful, and touches my heart quite deep...
I used to ask the same question also, and one of my best friend said the answer is most likely "No", because people change through out times, so you might find he'd changed as well...
When my turn came, after a very long and deep thought, my answer was "No" (surprise huh I could say No? *nyengir*, the scar is too deep, that's why...), I think that's the best answer ....I just don't want to be hurt anymore..

Beautiful Moment

This morning I woke up finding a silence moment, nobody at home, only Nunik busy cleaning the kitchen *horray* I like to be home alone...freeeeeeee
Made my breakfast consist of Sosro Jasmine Tea plus a bit of sugar and one slice of toast, put Sheila on 7 inside CD player...
It was quite windy and cool this morning, wow...so enjoyable... that tea emank kaga ada matinye cink... (eh I got endorsement or not yaa? wakakakka...but anyway I'm Miss Indonesia lah...everything I speak, I always proud of my country lah yaa...)
Felt like a very perfect holiday, until I turned my head to the window and saw another row of blocks across my block *gubraks*
All the beatiful moment turned into nightmare again *sigh*

Brain Error

I've never been this error before, yesterday, the whole day I kept on doing stupid mistakes, luckily (Indonesian always use luckily ya *blush*) my workloads was not much, so I didn't do something fatal, but only bloody stupid.
I couldn't remember exactly what were stupid things that I'd done. It started during my morning shower, I was about to wash my face, then I was wondering, why my face wash smelt and felt different *bingunk* I opened my eyes and found out that I pour the bath gel instead of face wash *gubraks* Gila gag siy? the bottle are very different in shape, face wash is tube meanwhile bath gel is bottle *mokal abis* Still I couldn't learned from experience, after the shower, I was applying the eye cream, I felt eh...why the eye cream so watery ya? To my suprised when I turned my head to see my hand, it was my moisturiser *pingsan*
In the office I tried to print out something then the printer didn't work, I was wondering why, then finally I found out that I hadn't plugged in the USB cable to my CPU *blush*
I was in the middle of writing, then suddenly somebody called me, I tried to rise up from my chair, meanwhile my handphone charger's cable is strangled into my chair, luckily the handphone was only dangling in the air, hadn't knocked anything at all *lega*
After that I went back to my table, found out I lost my pen, I was searching high and low, went out of my room, went to next rooms, under the table, and everywhere, still couldn't find out, I gave up my writing (I only like to write with that particular pen though *blush*)..then went I went to buy for another pen, I found that pen was inside my wallet *gondok* I realised that I did some internet transaction before hand, so it might be slipped inside after I put back my credit card *sigh*
The craziest thing among all was I supposed to go for my Japanese Class in Bugis (yupe I take up Japanese class, I'll tell the story someday ya....*mbok ya sing sabar*) then I was inside Bugis Junction shopping centre to buy the bloody pen, then instead of walking toward my school, then I went to the gym direction *gubraks*
Gila gag sih guwe ini? Error pisan abis2an kayak gini *jedotin kepala ke tembok* Scary or not? I also keep on forgetting things, is it early sign of amnesia? But yet the bloody problems that I really want to forget are still stuck and fresh inside my mind...Do I need to reinstall my brain?

Kisah Sedih Di Hari Minggu

That's the title of sinetron that I saw when I was in Jakarta a few weeks back, and they use Koes Plus song as a soundtrack as well.
I don't know why, suddenly it made me wanna hear their songs again, even though when I was still a small kid, everytime my driver put their songs, I always complained *grinned* May be age has something to do with these kinda sentimental feeling *sigh*
Anyway, on that Friday after the TV session in the hotel, I did my final shopping, bought some cds, which I didn't have time to try, just grabbed as many as I could, as long as I saw "the best of somebody that I knew" then I just took...My actions caught a curious looks of the buyer and the cd shop's staffs as well, of course lah..who is crazy enough to buy so many Indonesian cds, without trying at all *grinned*
So now I have quite some of Indonesian songs collection *bangga* but the Koes Plus songs, it's not by them, but retouched and re-sung by current famous singer. And that song "Kisah Sedih di Hari Minggu" is only sung by "aaaaaaaaa" and only a bit *gondok*
By the way, I found 1 clip from that Tribute to Koes Plus, by Riff, you can click on the play sign above though, but the singer looks scary, luckily the model is quite cute, who's the name ar...mmm duh..amnesia nih guwe...*sedih* For those who doesn't know Koes Plus, the original songs of course not Rock like this, but anyway rock with the whole orchestra, quite funky though *surprised*
Last but not least, of course my Sunday was quite sad yesterday too lah, if not, why should I use this title...

Viva Vina

Yesterday morning, I woke up with a sms saying,"Zhao sang Hao Hunny Bunny, there will be Viva Vina concert this month, r u going 2 come again?" with the devil animation inside...
Gubraks...Aje gilee...she tought I'm a conglomerate or what ya? I know 1 nite would never be enough to be with me *pe de abies* but this is not the polite way to invite me back home lah ya...wakakkakakakkak....
Remembering I only left with 3 more free fiscal, and I still have to attend her wedding and the other best friend wedding, hen parties, and my travel list that haven't been fullfilled till now, which consist of:
1. Fishing in Pulau Seribu
2. Catching sunrise and sunset in Bali
3. Still curious about staying in Novus Resort, Puncak
4. Fishing and Trekking trip to Tanjung Lesung
5. Lombok revisited
6. Catching sunrise again in Borobudur
7. Bandung, lautan makanan dan FO
8. Catching sunrise in Bromo
9. etc..etc...
Weleh, have to work triple hard to fullfill all of those meanwhile the list still continues, and all of the above is still in Indonesia, how about other countries destination?*sigh*
By the way, last nite, meeting with my partner in crime, she sounded so desperate because of her boss and crazy workloads, meanwhile I need a few rounds of drinks, so we went to Long Bar to have couples of drinks. We ended up with shooting peanut to each other (in Long Bar they provide peanuts and we can just throw the skin anywhere, like Lone Star Steak House in Perth itu loh...but the difference in Long Bar, they will sweep the floor after they close, so not so many peanuts around). From her I found out that Viva Vina, will be conducted by Addie MS...weleh...should I consider going back again to catch the concert yak? *deep tought sambil ngitung kancing*

Momentum

On the day before Chinese New Year, I had a lots of work to do in the office, and still had to rush to buy last minutes shopping list from my mom, before supermarket closed at 5 pm. Arrived at home, hearing my mom said that Nunik's father is very sick.
I smelt a fish, there are 2 possibilities:
1. Nuniek can not tahan under my mom regimes.
2. Nuniek want to use that excuse to extend her contract with me, by saying she doesn't have enough money to cover her dad's expenses.
And then.....this morning, I was about to leave the house and wanted to talk to Nunik about something, I saw her crying...I said,"Loh, Nik, kamu kenapa?"
She said,"Anu ma'am, saya udah gak tahan lagi kerja di sini bla..bla..bla.."
I didn't really get what she said after that and suddenly she stopped coz my mom went into the house....
I supposed to shout,"Horrayyyy...."
Instead, my heart melted seeing her condition, I felt sorry for her *sigh* So I called back home from the office,"Nik, mbok ya sing sabar....sayang kan tinggal 6 bulan lagi kamu kerja di sini...paling ibu saya masih sekitar 2 minggu atau 1 bulan lagi di sini, yah kamu sabar ajah..."
Like real huh? I don't even know when will my parents go back to Jakarta, but out of pity, I just made up some stories for her wakakakkakaka....
But let me clarify one thing, I don't regret for the decision I've made, to let her stay, anyway we're all human, no matter how many mistakes she has made (inclusive she damaged my new Arsenal's jersey *sigh*), my motto that was taught by my partner in crime "Mbok ya sing sabar, sing Kuoso sing mbales...."

Chinese New Year

I asked my parents to invite my partner in crime for the reunion dinner, and of course my parents were very happy to have additional guest, as we always hold the principle "the more the merrier". Even my mom still asked me whether I have any other friend to invite some more *weleh*
A few days before that, I'd informed her about the reunion dinner, and she was so excited...every day she sms-ed me counting down the day *sigh* and I passed her the voucher from Lee Hwa, as my point expiring, and they converted my points to voucher, meanwhile, I'm not a jewellery person (yupe, you must be asking I'm not jewellery person, but yet I had points inside my membership, rite? Coz usually I bought jewelleries for a gift to my mom, or relatives lah...want to receive a gift also? be my relatives lah ...wakakkakaka...*promote*), so she alos sms-ed me saying that she bought some jewelleries for Chinese New Year, she couldn't wait to wear them *sigh*
I'm the one who celebrates CNY but not as excited as her....
Anyway, that nite she came, and we ate, turned on Channel U, they were showing Super Star Live, and she was surprised why those superstar sang out of tune, as we ate, everytime they sang out of tune, we saw each other and burtst into laughter...*jail*
After dinner, we enjoy a few drinks, as usual Choya lah...actually wanted to open wine, but my parents don't drink, I didn't want to get drunk as well, coz we were planning to see fireworks in Chinatown...
Finished dinner, dragged my mom and my dad to play UNO, but only my mom willing to join, and she lost, after that she went on strike she said that we cheated on her *sigh* So we just did channel surfing as usual, waited till 11.20 pm to go to China town.
Supposedly we went with my parents, but my dad didn't want to go, so....we still went ahead...the fireworks was so dissapointing, and it was so anti klimax, there were no spirit of Chinese New Year at all, like everybody didn't wish each other happy new year, like what people did in Sydney, so dissapointing...even my partner in crime said,"Huh? Cuma kaya gini nih?"
I said,"Well, what you expect, it's Singapore...wakakkaka...at least you still have me by your side *mulai ngegombal*"
So I sent her home, and realised that there were a bigger firework at River Hongbao, which I'd forgotten about it *regret*
Anyway after the count down, suddenly I felt very sad, empty and lonely....Another year passed by, getting older, and have to face more challenges all by my self, nobody can help, and this time I can't run away anymore....
Back to life...back to reality... *nyanyi*

One Night in Jakarta

It's going to be long posting, so I divide into several parts, just in case if you would like to do installment on reading *senyum manis*
Konser 3 Diva
It was a really bloody damn good concert, I can't describe how good they are in singing all the songs, talked to the audience, etc..etc...but yet what I can say is Mama Ruth (that's how KD called her) is still as sweet as before, Ibu Titi (that's how KD called her also)is still funky and energetic, the voice become more solid, and Mbak Kridayanti is still vain and pretty...wow keren ajah deh...till now I'm still in the state of half believed that I've gone to their concert *ngelamun*
If only I knew the concert was so bloody great, I'd should have bought ticket for that 2 concert, I wouldn't mind though *nyengir*
They also featuring 3 young singer, Audi, Andhin and Shanti..which of course you can't compare the quality with those 3 divas lah ya.....
The music was conducted by Erwin Gutawa and all crews, he is still as cool, and also Jay Subiakto, still gondrong....
Oustide the Concert Hall
When I arrived, it was a little bit traffic jam, but not so bad, a long side Jalan Asia Afrika a lot of calo (=middle man) offering concert's ticket, which I don't know real or fake. The queue to go in was suprisingly very long, luckily the VIP door not so bad. A lot of calo (=middle man) asking me if I had spare ticket to sell, then they will sell again to other desperate people who doesn't have ticket *sigh*
Hard Rock Cafe
My compatriots picked me up from the concert hall to have dinner, we decided to go to Hard Rock Cafe, considering I was staying in Grand Hyatt and I have something to pass to them, while on the other hand I need life music (in Singapore nobody can sing as good as our own singer, even the band in Plaza Ex is still much more better than the club singer in Singapore *sigh*), also my compatriots might be tired from work and had to go to work the next day....Actually my partner in crime (no she didn't come to Jakarta) suggested to go to F Bar, just next to Hard Rock Cafe, but considering my Uni best friend would join us afterwards, and her husband to be doesn't like "Dugem", so decided Hard Rock lah...
One of my compatriot was having a birthday last week, as a funds manager, I decided to give her a birthday surprise, I told the Hard Rock Cafe staffs that my friend having a birthday, so she was dragged to the stage, and dipped her face into the ice cream...wow...cruel huh? wakakakkaka.....
Seeing that, I think those 2 brides to be, getting worried about what they're going to get for their hen party, when I'm in charge *devil smile* wakakkaka...Especially my uni's best friend's husband to be (wow so long ya? wkakakak), I don't think he would allow me to bring my friend for hen party holiday *yakin*
Now that I realised something, birthday prank always associated with Hard Rock Cafe ya? *ngelirik Agnes* wakakkak...so next time, if I asked you to go to Hard Rock Cafe, you'd better watch out...eh anyway will i get endorsement from Hard Rock or not ya? *again*
Torn Between 2 Lovers
It's always hard for me to decide who to meet during my visit to Jakarta, as my compatriots and my best friend are not really compatible, so some of the time I tried my best to arrange my time between 2 of them, or sometimes to the extend I only informing one of them *blush*
But yesterday time was so precious and I have to meet all of them, so no choice put them together in Hard Rock Cafe, meanwhile I tried very hard to switch myself between them, while the music was so loud *sigh*
Food
I had my lunch on Thursday @ Bakerz Inn Plaza Ex, as everybody told me the oxtail soup is very delicious, so I had that one. Too excited with the food, I forgot to take photo first before I ate, so the result, you could see the rice had been eaten a bit *blush*
While for Friday lunch which I had with full set of compatriots (it's friday, they could have a reason to eat out), first they offered me whether I wanted to eat Thai, Japanese or Chinese, then I said,"Indonesian please"
So we ate @ Plangi, Wroeng Podjok, wow....very bloody yummy, I also had Jamu Kunyit Asem, but the taste of course different lah from the Jamu Bakul..but tak ada rotan akarpun jadi kannnn
My New Look
Most of you in Singapore have seen my transgression from long hair to short hair, but it's a new look for my friends in Jakarta, the last time they saw me, I was still with long hair.
But I used to have a short hair when I was still in Jakarta, anyway actually I'm trying to keep my hair long again, but all of them said I look much more better with short hair, so I think I'll keep my hair short lah ya....gimane penonton? *buru2 pake helm*
Jakarta
I'm impressed with all the building progress in Jakarta, it was only around middle of last year I went back, but the difference is a lot *shocked* I've never expected the expansion of the Hotel Indonesia is going to be that huge *surprised* and next to Aston, Kebon Kacang, they're building a tall building again, then a lot lah here and everywhere...I was deeply surprised...but yet happy...finally we're moving forward again, even though the busway made the traffic became worse *sigh*
The other positive things that I saw, that all the shopping malls that I'd visited, all dress up for Chinese New Year, even the information counter staff wearing the chinese outfit, the things that I'd never seen when I was still staying in Jakarta a few years back, I feel very happy about it. Even when I was in Sogo Supermarket, they were playing chinese songs *surprised* So I was confused, I thought I was in Singapore but why all the staff can speak Indonesian ya? *dongo* Then I realised I was not day dreaming lah, I was really in Jakarta *blush*
Last but not Least
2 days 1 nite in Jakarta would never be enough, so many things to do, so many people to meet, so many things to eat, so many celebrity gossips program to watch....but over all I'm very satisfied with my trip, but felt not enough (nah...loh...bingung kan? wakkakakak), I was telling my friends, it was just like eating 3 piece of kuaci (=melon seeds) *sakauwwww boooo*
Actually I've made a very well planned schedule before I left Singapore, but anyway, it was all messed up, even I didn't have time to go to the hotel gym or swim, no need to say whether I have time to go to the spa some more *sad*
So for those who celebrates Chinese New YearI would like to wish you
A very Happy Chinese New Year,
Xing Nien Guai Le
Gong Xi Fa Cai, and
Hong Bao Na I Ge Lai *wakakakkakakkaka*
It will be to much if I asked you to send Hong Bao money, but let me ask you to tax you for your Hong Bao money lah ya...at least more polite *senyum manis*
For those who doesn't have a nice week end ajah deh....I know that it's going to be super duper long holiday in Indonesia, with Harpitnas on Monday...and if you would like to send me some Hong Bao also, I'll be very happy to receive wakakkakkakaka......

Konser 3 Diva

Finally, after a long decision making, and struggle, I proudly announce that I'm going to do the craziest thing in my live ever...
I'll be going to Jakarta only to see "Konser 3 Diva" which become the talk of the town. I'll be spending only 1 nite in Jakarta for the concert, what a waste of my free fiscal ya? But still have 3 more to go...no worries...don't be so kiasu lah *nyengir*
The long and winding process after I checked my schedule, that I can go to Jakarta, then I found out that the online ticket had been sold out, panicked, consulted my friend, and she said, try Ibu Dibyo. So I made IDD called they said still have, so I checked the ticket, yupe Sin-Jkt no problem, but Jkt-Sin no more seat available..
Every day I tried to check the website, until yesterday finally everything settled *lega*
Then the konser 3 Diva wanted to change to konser 4 diva, coz I'm going mah...but I said," I can't sing, coz I'll be too tired to perform 2 shows for tomorrow wakakakakka....besides, later on if I sing, then they become no longer famous how? wakakakkakakakkaka....

Renungan

A few days ago I read an article about Sharon Au (one of Singaporean actress, who decided to leave for studying in Japan on scholarship sponsored by TV station) life's story.
The article said, Sharon works very hard and always tries her best to make other people happy, because her childhood were so tough, and most of her friends pity her coz these things are not easy and not fair for her.
That article reminds me of my counsellor statement to me,"Flona, I see that in your life, you always try very hard to make other people happy, even though you have to sacrifice your own happiness in order to achieve that. Have you ever tought of making your self happy instead?"
Second question is,"You hide your feelings very well, you hardly show your anger to other people, and you swallow everything yourself, don't you feel it's very hard for you?"
It's a very difficult questions, I've never thought about it. I think what I do is normal, until she woke me up and I've just realised that I've grown up to learn that a lot of things can not be accepted by my parents, the only things that I can do is trying to be accepted by them, by doing things that they can accept. I can't show any negative feelings towards them, they only want to see in a very good condition both physically and emotionally. I know they love me and proud of me so much, but they only care to provide me with material than emotional well being. They work very hard which I know because they concern about my future. They only monitor me by physically being around them but don't ever know what's inside my heart and mind. They don't really guide me, but they apply "banana law" (remember ospek?), which:
Rule no one parents are always right.
Rule no two if parents do wrong, please refer to rule no one.
It's not an easy environment to grow up and not an easy things to do as well. Thanks God I grew up became like me now, didn't go to the wrong path, but then the impact is, I don't know what actually that I really want and a lot of bitterness inside me. I can't show my anger...I can't express negative feelings towards other people...I can't say "No" just simply because when I reject something then I'll hurt their feelings...When I make decision I will put a lot of consideration of other people around me, not only my parents but everybody (now you know, why Nunik still live happily inside my house *grinned*).
Lately I learned that my behaviour is not normal, no matter how much efforts you put to make other people happy, it will never be enough, and I have to try even harder to keep them happy. Worse still, some of the irresponsibble and heartless people try to use this opportunity towards me. I'm very exhausted now, but there's no way out...I play the game too deep to go out....
Still I don't blame my parents , but I have to thank them for providing me, for all the things that they've done made me become stronger and down to earth person. If I try to see the positive side, it's because of my weak heart, that make me in my position now, I always go extramiles for my clients, just because I can't say "No". The other positive is when I see the wall in front of me (especially when dealing with clients), I have to think of solution that make them happy instead of showing my anger towards them for their ridiculous requests.
Then on tuesday evening, while I was driving, I listened to 1 of the radio channel, which I forgot which one, they were discussing about happiness, and they asked 1 question that really made me think very hard,"Are you happy with your life? have you done something that you really want in your life?"
Again, that question really ring my bell, but the problem is "what do I really want in my life?"
I've forgotten about my self, especially my feelings so long time ago, I'm very numb now... until I don't even care (can't think of to be exact) what I do really want to be and to get for my life *sigh*

Eeeekkkkk (again)

After class last nite, I was waiting for my dinner to come, felt quite hungry, may be because the quiz was over, so my appetite came back.
Suddenly my phone ring, it was from my mom, she said,"Lu masih ada gitar gak di Jakarta"
I smelled something fishy going on here,"Kayanya sih ada, kenapa Ma?"
My mom,"Oh itu si Silvy (my cousin) mau minta gitar lu. Itu yang di rumah gitar dari Jakarta bukan?"
Me,"Bukan mah, itu bawa dari Sydney kok."
Mom,"Oh kalo gitu mah mustinya di Jakarta masih ada ya?"
Me,"Mustinya sih iya, loh bukannya Silvy waktu itu bilang dia mau les biola? Kok tiba2 jadi ganti les gitar?"
Mom,"Oh gak kayanya sekolahan mau pake".
I'm very bloody sure my mom lied to me saying the school required her to have guitar, just because I told her that I thought she wanted to take violin lesson.
Yupe, I have a bad blood with my cousins from my mom sides, especially those in Jakarta, all of them are much younger than me, coz my Aunts and Uncle married quite late.
It's not me who started all of this, you know better what kind of human being I am as a friend, rite? So I will not treat somebody, especially my very own cousin badly.
Well, a lot of factors that can trigger this bad blood things:
1. My Grandma used to dot me very much, coz I'm the only grandchild until quite sometime, but even though my cousin came along afterwards, but it had never changed the amount of love and attention that my Grannie gave to me, I'm still the one.
2. As the eldest person around, I think their parents always use me as an example,"Why can't you do something like Cici? and Cici this....Cici that..bla..bla..bla..." (I feel very sorry for them for this one lah ya, especially seems that my life performance is quite good superficially, and I don't agree with this comparison for children, you have to know the yardstick for your own children, don't you?) But what can I do? I'm very well behave since young. I'm not naughty, even though after I grown up then tanduk gue mulai keluar dan buntut gue baru mulai numbuh *blush*
Okay come back to this Silvy, before hand I didn't have any suspicion towards her, my conscience always clear towards everybody, but I can't remember much how I interact with her when I was still in Jakarta, because our age gap is very far, she's still in her 3rd year of Junior High.
I only remember when she was still a very small girl, everytime she came to my house she always sticked to the baby sitter, I tried to create conversation, she didn't want to answer, so I tought she was shy towards me, I gave her my stuff toys, she didn't even want to touch, so most of the time (but she seldom came lah) I just left her with her baby sitter.
Then I moved to Sydney, everytime I went back for holiday, she always like to drag the mother to meet me, I tought it's just teenager, you know they like to be close to someone old than them, and make me her idol.
My auntie told me also, she doesn't have friends in school, so I assumed may be she's not exposed to what teenager should do, I bought her some Indonesian teen magazine (Gadis) for her to be updated, then I talked to her like I talk to my own friend.
But everytime I asked her question she always answered by I don't know. Then in return she asked me moron question like,"Ci, kenapa sih cici sekolah di Australia?"
I don't know what to answer,"Mmm soalnya Australia kan deket, lagian papa bilang jangan pergi jauh2".
She,"Kenapa cici gak ke UK ajah?"
Me,"Hah? UK kan mahal, lagian jauh."
She,"Loh kan Poundsterling itu mata uang paling mahal di dunia, mustinya sekolah di UK juga paling bagus di dunia donk?"
Wah gue mulai gondok nih..."Cici gak gitu familiar sama Uni di UK, lagian gag tau mana yang bagus, lagia mahal ajah."
She,"Kan udah dibilang poundsterling paling mahal, pasti semua sekolah bagus dong?"
I started to vomit blood,"Ahh mahal, gak mampu bayarnya nanti".
She still try to force her way,"Loh kan papa cici kaya, papanya cici bisa bayarin deh..."
I vomit blood until running out of blood,"Yang kaya kan papa cici, bukan cici...jadi cici gak punya hak buat menghamburkan duitnya papa buat hal2 yang gak penting donk."
Still she said,"Kalo Silvy sih, kalo gak ke UK, Silvy gak mau sekolah di luar negeri". *gubraksss*
Oh ... My ...God, is it really there is moral degradation for younger generation or it's only her that misbehave? *gubraks*
The stories continues, she really have desire that she has to perform much better than me...which fine for me, good for her future, but please do it in the positive way.
She takes English tuition, but for the NEM (PSLE result), her English is only 6, then the parents questioned her, why she only got 6 while she's having additional English lesson, she simply answered,"Abis di tempat les banyakan mainnya sih". *gubraksss*
Which I countred,"Main itu kan belajar juga, either vocabulary or grammar."
She knew that I joined LIA before, she kept on pestering me what level were I in when I started join LIA, which I couldn't remember, but she's still not satisfied with my answer....but now LIA open a program for secondary student, so she die die have to register, but when doing placement test, I heard that she only got low result, so she was on strike didn't want to join LIA.
In returns she forced her way to join EF instead, which in my opinion it's only waste of money, and I heard she even took TOEFL test, I don't understand what's she's trying to prove, as the results is only 200 *gubraks lagi*
she asked me why I take guitar lessson, not piano? Which I answered with I couldn't afford to buy piano, and be realistic, it's quite hard to learn piano when you've grown up. Then suddenly she started to say she wanted to learn violin, just simply because not many people don't know how to play violin, plus violin is expensive *gubraks lagi*
The last question that I asked her since she's very eager to outperform me,"Syl, kamu kan dah kelas 3 nih, ntar sma mo masuk mana?"
She,"K Yusuf lagi lah.."
I'm very itchy,"Gak mau masuk SMAK 1 ajah kaya cici?"
She,"Wah mana bisa....kayanya hasil sekolah saya gak bakalan bisa buat masuk SMAK 1 deh.."
At least this one her answer is still realistic enough..wakakakkaka...
Then after last nite phone conversation with my mom suddenly I lost my appetite *sigh*

Eeeeeekkkkkkkk

I'd just finished my bath this morning, suddenly my mobile phone rang.
I'd never expected that call was from that 2 head snake.....eeeekkkkk....I tot from somebody else in that company, regarding some other jobs.
Once I hear her voice, I could smell trouble *oh no*
True enough, she asked me a question regarding that idiot project, that I have no power to reject, because some internal reason which link one to another....
I've finished part 1 of the project, which I'd asked so many time before I started doing it, to double confirm what result that she wants me to deliver...
I've never been so loh-so (=long winded) in my life before, but dealing with 2 head snake, made me realised I need to do so in order to cover my butt...
But yet, the call this morning, she still asking me why I gave her those 2 bloody files, which she asked me what's those 2 files all about...then when I tried to explain she still asked me," I can't understand what you're talking about, just answer me what is the 2 files you sent to me for?"
Wah lau eh....she pretended to be stupid or she's worse than a moron? I've already tried to explain with a very simple, plain and easy to understand answer, but yet she still asking me that idiot question *sigh*
I have no choice but told her,"You remember before we started I've already asked you so many times about what the result that you want? You told me that just gave you 2 files that consist of X and Y? Then I don't know how many time I double confirm with you regarding your answer? Nah these are the 2 files (wanted to say these are the 2 bloody files) that you told me to do!"
After hearing my statement, she kept quite, coz she knew she had nothing else to say... $@@%^&^$%$#%^&
Then she said,"Then how am I supposed to do with these 2 files?"
I answered,"I don't know, I only delivered what you asked me to do"
She answered with a weak voice,"Ok lor, I'll try to see what I can do about it.."
Inside my heart,"What the f*ck? It's your problem, not mine, pay peanut, get monkey lah! Besides who do you think you are? Please go and stand in front of the mirror and put another mirror behind you as well, don't you think your face and your b*acks*d* looks very similar?"
I don't want to offer her for extra miles, just as simple as because she is 2 head snake, if it's other people I'll be happily said,"Oklah, no worries let me help you to do magic.."
She even simply didn't want to discuss the whole project and asked my opinion about the result that she needs, and I know very well, dealing with her no need to be so nice, giving an advice without being asked, she will not appreaciate the things that you do extra for her, so what for I do that for her?
Bloody snake, make my blood boil, even until now, I still look like "cacing kepanasan" walking up and down, going around, in and out of the office.
I've never been so angry and agitated in my life before, I can feel the heat from whole of my body, the worse is my head *sigh*
Just now I felt like taking taxi to the office, because I would speed when I'm angry, but I tried to calm my self down before I started the engine, putting my fave cd, and singing along together, deep breathing, but still couldn't work *sigh*
I only tried to remind my self,"C'mon flo, this is Singapore, Speeding is an offence, don't let you appear in the newspaper because of speeding...it's not going to be funny..."
Thinking of doing detour to Tuas then cool off in Raffles Marina, but cancelled, remembering as long as I'm still on the steering wheel, the chance of speeding still there *blush*
And tonite I'm going to have an exam, if I did bad , you know lah the cause *nyari kambing hitam*

Edannnnn

Last week or the week bafore last week, I was flipping thru the TV channel (yeah this is my hobby, channel surfing *grinned*, unless my dad is sitting next to me, I'll not dare to do that *takut*, otherwise I like to channel surf *muka jail*), then I was stuck on channel 8, 9 pm week days (eh will I get endorsement or not by promoting them? wakkakakkka..), Love Concierge..
In that episode they are on their wedding day, doing photo shoot, but then when it was time to take 1 last photograph, then the husband fleed back to the office, coz he said,"Job is more important than anything..." then left everybody stunned...
Remember about 2 of my best friends are goin' to get married, while I was worrying about the timing might clash to each other, as both are equally important to me, one is best friend from uni, going to get married in Jakarta while the other one is high school best friend, going to get married in Bali? At the end the wedding date is only 1 week apart *lega*
Nah yesterday afternoon suddenly I received sms from my high school best friend, saying,"S wedding is on what date?"
Being quite sometime haven't got chance to talk to her live (she becomes bloody workaholic now, much worse than me *nyengir*), so I grabbed the phone and dial her number, and we talked.
I found out that she has to attend a sales conference in France on 11 to 17 of June *shocked*, while her wedding is on the 18. She said this conference is very important for her, can't be missed, die die she has to attend *gubraks*
I said,"Lo gila, everything has already been fixed,now here you are with a bloody sales conference?"
She said,"If i missed this, it's going to be a chaotic for my company.."
I nearly fainted hearing that news....I tought such thing only happened in th drama, like the love concierge above, and only done by a man, but this is very real..done by my own best friend? My very own friend who you walked back from school with, every day for 3 years? The friend that you share most of your life's stories with even though she was in Canada and I was in Jakarta, and later moved to Sydney but still continued called each other?
She's crazy or what? But 1 thing that really touches me a lot is she asked me first before she make any changes on her wedding date, coz she knew that my other best friend is going to get married somewhere near her wedding date *terharu*
But....did she consult her husband to be and her dad before she called me? *worry*
Anyway she is unstoppable girl, nothing can stop her from doing the thing she wants....
Lastly, middle of the nite I received her sms,"Suk, please don't make any reservation for your Bali flight, I'm still trying very hard to get other date".
Gubrakssss........

Nunik...The Story Continues...

On Saturday evening, I arrived at home to find Nunik is doing her chores, handwashing my clothes in the bathroom *apa siyyy..*
what was she trying to prove huh? Cari muka? In her working history, she always does the washing in the morning, so it really makes me more disgusted towards her..
Some more she still dare to talk to me,"Mmm anu ma'am, jadi bhnya ma'am semuanya kekecilan?"
Duh...apa sihhh....udah deh gag usah dibahas.., inside my heart,"Kalo kekecilan semua, sekarang gue pake apa donk? mangkok dipakein tali rafia apeeee?" *sebel*
I just lazily said,"Ho'oh"
From then onwards I just tried to erase her existence in my house lah, I turned her to invisible mode, even though she's around *sigh*
Oh ya, yesterday suddenly my mom told me,"Eh koq si nunik 2 hari belakangan ini kerjanya jadi tambah rapi dan rajin ya?"
Owwwww...she scared to be sent back home ar....
If only my mom knew what was happening, it's going to be bigger than nuclear war, but Nunik still lucky having me as the employer, I'm not that type of person who can easily blurted out all her misbehaviours though, coz I still don't know what is my heart made from..*urut dada*
Then suddenly I have a bright idea, remember my posting a few days ago about the "3 diva Concerts"?
It's going to be killing 2 birds in 1 stone, just tell my parents I need to send her back to Indonesia for good, meanwhile I go for my concert on flight X, and I bought her a one way ticket by flight Y *muka jail*

Hmmmm

I've been struggling whether to post this story or not, soalnya agak2 vulgar...sampe kejadian tadi pagi, weleh..gue dah gak tahan deh..jadi gue post..sori yaks agak vulgar...
Beberapa minggu belakangan gue berasa koq bh gue makin kecil yah? *gubraks*
Dan gue berpikir," Masa sih....." *isi sendiri deh yaa...*
Tapi mana mungkin...lah wong berat badan turun koq...trus gue curiga donk, jangan2 Nunik nyuci pake mesin cuci, trus minggu lalu gue nanya,"Nik, kamu nyuci bh saya pake mesin cuci?"
Nunik,"Gak ma'am, saya cuci pake tangan, emang kenapa?"
Jreng...die nyuci pake tangan? bearti..... *gubraks*
Gue masih gak puas ,"Kok jadi sempit sih?
Nunik,"Loh gak tau yah ma'am, saya cuci pake tangan koq.."
Mustinye die jawab gini kali ye,"Ma'am tambah gede kali?" wakakkakaka.....
Trus tadi pagi nih, gue berasa eh koq tambah sempit lagi sih...trusan gue ngeliat permukaannya agak2 rusak geto...dan kayak ada partikel2 kecil nempel, yang gue yakin itu dari celana pendek guwe, trus gue penasaran gue nanya lagi deh,"Nik, kamu nyuci bh saya pake mesin cuci ya?"
Her,"Gak, ma'am saya cuci pake tangan kok..emang kenapa?"
Gue,"Koq jadi tambah kecil sih? Lagian koq jadi bersemot, trus ada kaya bintik2 dari celana pendek saya?"
Her,"Gak ma'am saya cuci pake tangan...sumpah deh..."
Gue,"Gak mungkin lah.."
Her,"Emang yang mana ma'am?"
Weleh udah mulai ngelunjak nih.."Yang model kaya sekarang saya taruh di tempat cucian.."
Her,"bener loh ma'am saya cuci pake tangan..."
Nah sodara sodari...die pake acara sumpah segala euy....serius banged gak siy?
Apa gue cut short ajah yah by hmmm 6 months masa kerjanya? Gue dah capek deh ama yang model ginian....gue gak pernah nuduh orang sampe segini seriusnya seumur hidup gue...kan gue orangnya gak enak ati-an kalo soal nuduh menuduh mah, walopun tuh orang salah...
Seberapa panjangnya sabar gue sih pasti ada batasnya dehhhhh....

War of the Century (Nunik vs My Mom)

I think tis is the most wanted stories from my blog *pe de*
I've never told my mom about all Nunik minus attitude that I've encoutered so far, because of:
1. I want to compare my judgement and other people judgement about her
2. I don't want to create negative impression from my mom towards Nunik, before everything get started.
Now I got a headache from war of the century, Nunik try to play politic by using my words against my mom command, she always quote,"Ma'am yang nyuruh saya begitu kok" and sometimes when my mom told her to use the household equipment because it's very expensive, then the next day nunik will check with me,"Ma'am anu itu harganya berapa ya?" when I told her the price, she will said,"Kata ibu ma'am kok bla..bla..bla.."
Yeah my mom inflate the price to high..wakakkakakkaa....
Arrrrghhhhhhh..... stupid maid, doesn't she understand, when my mom come over, means that she has to listen to my mom? Or should I tell her direct," Eh dengerin kata ibu, jangan membantah?"
Or she can't wait to go home till August that's why she acts like that *sigh*
No need to tell the detail of everything lah ya...but in conclusion, what I do feel about Nunik match with my mom's list, but I dare not tell my mom,"Kok sama yah ma?". YEah, she's the great pretender....(Elvis Presley donks? wakkakakakka...), agak kurang ajar (she dares to ask other maid," Kamu dari Indonesia ya?" while accompanying my mom to the market, and asks unnecessary things that a maid shouldn't ask to the employer)...dan lihai....
Just because I've already learned to accept her as what she is, and love her with my heart and soul *hoeekkkk*, and not to complaint about her behaviours anymore, coz I don't have a heart to fire her anyway...
Udah kayak telenovela dehhhh ......duhhh pusinggggg....
Happy week end yah everyone....

Kaderisasi

Last school holiday, my god sista, was helping me in the office...
How she became my god sista? it was started by working part time in my place during school holiday, and from so many part timers that I have, she's the one with a very good attitude, quite kiasi (read = perfectionist) towards work , just like me...*smile*
So I decided to make her my little sista, she's quite cute though...
Go back to the original story...as now I play with my partner in crime most of the time, so my little sista also play with her...so you can imagine 17 years old innocent girl, play with 2 trisakti graduates and one of the is me *blush*, meanwhile the other one is more hips...wakakakkakakkaka....
She startsto end her sentences with "ya" as what usually indonesian does..wakakakka...and talks with Indonesian English tone, learn all the slangs...*sigh*
And now she's back to school, hopefully she doesn't have problems with her English..wakakkakaka....
Eh this morning I received sms from my friend, saying,"Eh ada konser 3 diva loh tgl 26 Jan, TT Dj, Kridayanti dan Ruth"
Jreng....suddenly I really want to go back and watch, but then it's on Thursday, and I only can spend 1 nite there as it's going to be Chinese New Year....rugi atuhh...*kiasu*
If I went back, means I only have 3 more free fiscals to spend, where I still have 2 weddings to attend and 2 hen parties to arrange *sigh*
I also don't know how to tell my parents...they're going to slaughter me for sure if they know I go back only to watch the concert *sigh*
Any ideas?
Meanwhile...the thinking process still continues...

Partner in Crime

Finally...she's back *yipeeee*
Last nite met up with her, spent a few hours with her, made my world become colourful again....With her I laugh until I got stomach ache, even till now my stomach still sore because of the laugh
Hopefully she'll stay long in Singapore *pray*
She looks more pretty and glowing *envy*
So I also need a break to Jakarta I guess *nyengir*
I need to arrange 2 hen parties before June though *nyari alesan*
So I must be back at least once or twice *alesannya tambah kuat*

Can Not Tahan

It's been quite sometime I haven't been disappeared from Singapore *sad*, let me count, my last dissapearance was on August last year, 5 months in Singapore wow...*sigh*
I think I can not tahan already, meanwhile this Harpitnas and Chinese New Year doesn't seems to be able to go anywhere as well, I've tried hinting to my parents though to go holiday together, but they said they don't want to go anywhere *sigh*
Meanwhile, my partner in crime (read:khaki) is in Jakarta, visiting her husband, since 3 weeks ago, made me become more bored *sigh*...but at least we still keep in touch whether by phone or sms....just reading her sms, could make me burst into laughter...so you should be able to imagine if you meet her in person *grinned*
But she should be back today *horaaayy*
Anyway, I've told my self, please persevere lah for a few more months, but when I check the calendar, the next public holiday after Chinese New Year will be on April *gulps*
Alamak, can I tahan until so long? All works no play made me a dull girl *worried*
Happy Idul Adha yah for youe who celebrates....mbok ya kirim2 daging kambingnya (eh dimasak loh ya, bukan mentah...kalo mentah mah di sini juga buanyak...) ke sini...

Tough Friday

Most people would say TGIF, but yet yesterday was a tough day for me *sigh*
Started with morning meeting with that two face snake, my day became very dark.
It's hard to deal with small fly who just got a bit of power...it made her become very demanding and bossy *deep sigh*
During the meeting I kept on telling my self to cool down, just see her as a stack of money who's talking to me (remember the Disney cartoon? Nah I tried to imagine that). Anyway I only do this in the name of money lah....
Then I tried to cool down by going to Yoga Class, to find ut that the usual Yoga instructor had been replaced with another instructor, that made the class became a military training instead of Yoga *sigh*
Until now my whole body still in pain, especially when I move around...
Afternoon still had to deal with new supplier, that always said can be done, but when the actual things came, then he said can not....
What a tough day...
Anyway Happy week end everyone, hope you'll enjoy your week end lah ya *muachhhhh*

School

A few days ago I had a meeting with 1 of the polytechnic in Singapore, talking about some projects.
When I was there, I saw a lot of student scattered around the campus, then I felt so peaceful, and I really longed for becoming a student again.
But afer seeing them seating on the bench, and doing their homework, suddenly a bell rang inside my mind, and I changed my thought," become a student again? thanks lah ya, but not thanks.."
And I'd been wondering how could I spend so much time for going to school before, let me count:
- play group 1 year,
- kindergarden 2 years,
- primary school 6 years,
- secondary 3 years,
- senior high 3 years,
- university 4 years,
- postgrad 2 years.
Total 21 years in school? oh my God... not again.....
I supposed to become an Industrial Engineer or a fund manager, as I was specialised in funds management study for my master degree, but yet, look at me now, I'm a fun manager, yupe I manage fun *grin*
The moral of story, the longer time you spent your life in school, the more fun you;re going to be *gak nyambung*
Doesn't it sound pretty encouraging for those who are lazy to study? *wicked smile*

In Memoriam

Today I would like to dedicate this posting to my friend, whom I only communicated with smile, without words, but often went to the movies together.
It's been 2 years since we'd received the shocked news of your death.
Still clear in my mind, watching you practising your skill in flaring together with Cumi, so much noise that both you made till your neighbour went crazy.
Bought the Ferrero Rocher together and wrote a sorry card, put at her door.
Waiting for her to pick up the card and chocolates, but yet after 3 days it was still there, so we decided to eat the chocolates ourselves....
I've already forgotten what's the taste of midori after you're gone, but yet you'll always live in our heart....
Mike where ever you are now, we miss you very much....
Rest in peace my friend..

New Year's Resolution

This year is the most difficult year in my life, and yet next year is going to be more difficult for me.
I've never made any new year's resolution before in my life, but I really do feel the urgency in making one for year 2006.

However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.
Acts 20:24

Happy New Year to all of you, wish you all the best for the coming year *hugs*

Last day

Today is the last day that I'm going to see my office girl, coz tomorrow is going to be her last day, and I don't want to see the drama...I'll be on leave tomorrow *grin*
Bu quan wo de shi (=not my business)
Somebody has to pas the termination letter....all the best to her lah ya...
Meanwhile I'm having a heavy heart to sign her last paycheck.....

Gokil

For where two or three Indonesians are gathered together there will be a nuisance created for sure *evil smile*
Yupe, there were 8 of us in total, which each and everyone has a very angelic look, especially when we saw the photo that we took last nite...
But then when the real us come out, Oh My God...we are hilarious....
May be the next time the restaurant see any of us, we will be banned from the restaurant *innocent look*
The result of last nite gathering, I got stomach ache and sore throat because of the laughs *sigh*

Tired

First of all Merry Christmas once again to all of you, sorry if I didn't left any messages in your blog, coz I use Mac at home, and still "gaptek" towards it...when I tried to leave a message in the shoutbox there is "Cookies Deactivated" message appears *sigh* So couldn't leave any trace at all *blush*
These past few days I've been attending so many dinner, whether with business associate or with friends. It made me feel tired of eating *sigh*
Started from Christmas day dinner, I invited friends and suppliers for dinner in my place, and suddenly my friend said to me,"Hey Flo, you look very tired of eating..."
I was so surprised,"Hey how you know ar?"
He said,"Yah lah you look bored leh.."
Then I laughed...yupe I've been tired of eating, that's why I've tried my best to eat light lunch, like instant noodle for lunch...(kayak nasib anak kost hehhehe....)
This week is going to be another tough week, as this morning I tought,"Thank God today can avoid heavy dinner" then suddenly I received sms from my friend that come from Sydney,"Hey flo, how about we're having dinner tonite?
Oh My God...Please deh ah....meanwhile the dinner invitation continues *sigh*

Gubraksssss

Remember my neighbour in the office, who likes to imitate my dressing?
A few months back when I wore my gym attire because I went to the gym after work, then she stared to wear sporty attire also, and until the extend buying the treadmill and bicycle, to put in her office...May be at that time she tought that I have treadmill inside my office as well kali yaaa *jijix*
Nah after such a long time haven't met with the auntie (most of the time I only see the husband)...jrengggg....this morning finally I met her...
She lost a lot of weight...and cut her hair exactly like me and the most disgusting thing is....alamak...her dressing code now jeans and t-shirt, just like me *gubraks* the only difference is her one is bling2 t-shirt *muntah* and a very tight jeans...*muntah muntah*
Starting from tomorrow I'll change my dresscode, I'll wear spaghetti straps and plunging low cut v-necks ahhhhhhhh.... wanna see how she's going to imitate me *evil smile*
Merry Christmas for those who celebrate, hope you'll have a wonderful Christmas whereever you are and who ever you are with lah ya.. and Have a nice week end all *tight hugs*

Competitor

Remember about my reason for taking voice class? Yupe you're rite, coz I wanna be the next Singapore Idol *evil smile*
FYI the next Singapore Idol intake will be on Feb next year *panick mode on*
Anyway as the time getting nearer I have found a few competitor, as I saw a few times in Orchard, in front of Paragon to be exact, this gal singing confidently with a minus one *sigh* but the voice is really unstable...sometimes can be up..next one down...*sigh* I think she can kill me softly with her song if I have to wait long enough for the traffic light to cross that junction *sigh*
Another competitor is in Clementi,I found him last week when I checked my mailbox, right at the hawker center behind my previous flat, at Clementi Ave 2, he sets up a keyboard, and a list of songs, and you can request a song from him..the voice really good, and the skills of the piano also good....so all the best for that uncle lah ya...
Meanwhile...I think I'll send Nunik down to queue for me if I joined Singapore Idol...so please ya vote for me *muka badak* wakakakakakaa.....

Who Has The Last Laugh?

Yesterday I was having a meeting with my client talking about the urgent project that we need to do, and my client asked me whether I'm going to go somewhere this coming Christmas Holiday, and I said no and I' ll be having a lot of works to finish as well.
She asked again whether our company open on Monday (which supposed to be a public holiday because Christmas will fall on Sunday), because she has some job to rush, and required us to do on Monday.
Of course I said no problem lah...*workaholic mode on*
Then this morning, the stupid printer (it's her vendor, which always try to undercut and do our business also) called me this morning said with a suprise tone,"Eh your company working on Monday meh?
I said,"Yeah, why?"
He,"It's a public holiday you know.."
Me,"Yeah, but we work leh..."
He,"You sure or not?"
Me,"Yeah very sure we work..."
He gave up,"Oh ok..."
wakakakakakkakakakkakakka biar mampus lo...
Want to fight full frontal with me? Who scared?
He hasn't known who I am, is it?

Branding

Since a few weeks back, my friend already told me to celebrate her birthday by having dinner together with her on last Saturday, but on Thursday suddenly she received sms from her cousin, saying that she would come to Singapore on Saturday.
So she told me that her cousin would join us for dinner, and she also warned me this cousin, is a very serious person, workaholic, very clever, very sharp, no non-sense and very hard to joke *sigh*
Since it was her birthday, I couldn't say no to her, besides I quite often dragged her a long to meet my other friends..anyway on that day, luckily I had forgotten all about her cousin, because I was too excited to meet her...but then when I as introduce to her cousin, suddenly I said oh no...how am I going to handle this situation.
I tried my best to keep reminding my self to behave nicely, by using "Saya" instead of "Gue" when I talked to her cousin..but when talking to her, I still use "Gue" lah of course *grinned* but then as the time passed by I couldn't hold my self anymore, so I started with a soft joke, which was getting hotter and hotter, and bingo....there it goes...she started to laugh at my jokes...*legaaaaa*
That situation reminds me of the conversation that I had with my best friend back in Jakarta a few months back, me and the birthday girl were in the same class with my best friend when we were still in Trisakti, but yet when I talked about the birthday girl(R) to my best friend (S) (oppss..complicated ya...), she always said,"Yeah I know R is very crazy, but lately when she met me, she was not that crazy anymore, not like you even though I'm not in the mood of joking, but you always persistent to launch your jokes towards me...
Well I answered with a simple sentence,"Because I'm trying my best to do branding mah...while R may be still trying to do positioning...I don't care about the response, my duty is only doing branding...that's how people loves to be around me..."
And she laughs....
For those who can't understand, it's a marketing strategy lesson....

Technology

Since I was still in Primary School, I always bring some reading materials whenever I have to do my nature call *blush* and when I got my first walk man, I add the my pleasure with some music *smile*
The habit continues, even though my parents always scold me everytime they caught me doing the things, but I've never given up *naughty smile* don't you think it's a waste of time doing nothing inside the toilet for that certain amount of time? *grinned*
When I was in Sydney, I liked to use my flatmate toilet, coz he always had some magazines ready inside his toilet, so when it's very very urgent...didn't have time to get something from my room, just rushed to his toilet *blush*
Then now, during the designing period of my house, I'd ever proposed to my designer to add some shelves for putting some books or magazine inside my toilet, but yet the designer said there were no good space for it, and it's not good aesthetically, besides it's not advisable, coz it could damage the book, as Singapore is very humid, then the steam after the bath will not go out easily.
So no choice I have to forgo the book shelves inside my bathroom *sigh*
But yet, since the technology has improved, now I can even surf the internet during nature call, wireless technology mah *grinned*
A few weeks back I bought my wireless headphone too, coz I like to turn on the radio in the morning to accompany me during breakfast, since my parents don't like my choice of music, so I bought the headphone lah...
Being a very curious creature, I also tried whether it can work inside my bathroom or not, and Eurekaaaaaaaa...it works man....so now I can choose internet with music or book with music...
Ahhh... technology...really makes life better....
Have a nice week end every one *hugs*

MTV Chinese

Last nite I was trying to wind my self down, so I tuned into channel 51, Chinese MTV. Thinking to brush up my Chinese as they were showing a variety show, quite crazy though. But yet the Chinese was soooo difficult, they spoke too fast for me to catch up, and you know MTV always use the slang language, so I just tried my best to pick up lah...
And the suddenly in the midst of commercial breaks, jrenggggg...they play 1 English music clip, I felt, eh familiar sounds ya...and it was Take That with "Back For Good".
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.......somebody kill me puhhh...leaseeeeeee, an old wound opened, every second, my heart felt like been sliced slowly by a sharp knife, but yet I didn't change the channel *sigh*
Ahhh....woman...complicated *sigh*

Mid week Hangover

Yupe, I'm not kidding. I'm having tha hangover from last nite party *sigh*
It was Girard Perregaux Ferrari party, they're launching the new Girard Perregaux Ferrari watch, and this one is the last edition, there are 2 type, black and rose gold.
They only have 20 pieces of black and 3 pieces of rose gold in Singapore, so I don't need to tell you the price lah ya...you must be able to guess from there...
It was a very good party...good crowds...good drinks....good foods...good music, everything was good...
Perfect place for Material Girl who's looking for a big fish *grinned*
I couldn't remember how many drinks I'd finished, because they changed the cocktails to champagne then just kept on topping up the my glass *sigh*
Luckily the party ended not too late, I went home about 9 plus and was still sobber enough to go home.
Double lucky, when I arrived at home, nobody around, and saw how red was my face *sigh* I looked at the mirror, eh I saw my reflection looked like forever friend bear *nyengir*, rosy cheek, but after I finished my bath, I looked like cooked prawn *blush* very red...
Now I felt very stupid because of the hangover, just stared blankly at my works *sigh* I feel more drunk now than yesterday *sigh*
Moral of the story don't drink too much on weekdays....

PS:Sorry mate, my work loads is very terrible, so can't do blogwalking, but anyway thanks for your visit *smile*

BatGirl

Or Batwoman? Mmmm I think I choose batgirl lah, make me younger though *winks*
Yupe...I've become Batgirl, having many sleepless nite (Sleeples in Singapore) these past 2 weeks...because of the deep thought *sigh*
Can you imagine something like Walt Disney cartoon? There is 2 flona, one is white flona with a halo on top of the head and wings behind my back vs black or sometime red, with horns, and sharp tail. wakakkakkakka....
Well now have the dark circle around my eyes already *sigh*, should I call MTM? (the Hongkong based cosmetic company, always have slogan "Do you have panda eyes?" for their ads)wakakkaka....eh they will endorse me or not ar?

Singlish

Thanks for all your concern and support, meanwhile the deep thought still in progress *senyum manis*
Anyway, do you know that when you speak Singlish, besides the -lah, still have "ah" or some people may write it as "ar" but pronouce as "a" in the straight Indonesian pronounciation.
I'd just finished my phone call to the furniture company, asking whether my bar stool have been ready to be sent to my place or not.
I said,"Hello, I would like to ask you ar...are my bar stools ar...already come to your warehouse or not ar?
After I hung up (eh it's not madonna's new song ya *senyum jail*) the phone, then I realised, eh how come I spoke very good Singlish ar? wakakakkakak...
Suddenly I recalled my friend's story, she was my my class mate in Trisakti before, and now she is working in Singapore, after being transfered from Jakarta office to the regional office in Singapore.
When she was still working in jakarta, there was this Singaporean guy by the name of Sam, came to her office to become a replacement manager for a few months in Jakarta, so she was introduce by her boss to this guy.
When she was in her boss room, the boss called Sam in,"Eh Sam ar...come in..."
Then being polite she greeted Sam,"Oh hello, Sema (read with Indonesian pronounciation) how are you?"
Then everybody laughed at her, but she was confused and asked,"Is there anything wrong?"
Then the boss explained,"His name is Sam, not Sema..that's because I was speaking in Singlish..."
wakakakakakakkakakakka.....

Deep Thought

Is it easier to give up everything that you have in life or simply just give up your life?

Office Girl

For those who missed Nunik a lot, she's currently still in the old place, will move into new place today, so stay tune yaaaaa....There must be a lot of story, coz now the main actor and actress are my mom and my dad...
As the replacement of the soap opera, let me present the new series of my production, The Office Girl...Eh give applause donks...*nyengir*
Remember her? She's Malaysian, doesn't speak English, but yet until now, my Chinese hasn't improved and her English also no improvement either *sigh*
So as usual, CV speaks louder than action, where she boasts she used to:
* handle complaints,
* do accounts,
* makes delivery order,
but in reality:
* no phone manner (I've already told her how to answer the phone, but still...)
* always passes the wrong message (imagine, somebody called by the name of Ainah, then she told me Agnes..may be she tought German spelling kali yaaa? *sigh* I have to search high and low for the person by the name of Agnes, which is does not exist at all..)
* always day dreams during works ( mending guwe yah blogw alkin during works..wakkakakka)
* I told her to call me if she receives some deliveries, but most of the time she didn't do so
* A lots of complaints from my customer
Last week, when I signed her pay check, I felt very bad..as I thought this one is the one before the lastt pay check that she's going to receive *sigh*
Seeing her happy face when I handed out her check made me even worse *sigh*
I still don't know how to do the dirty job for me *nyengir*, I think I need to put my self on the cruise ship on the day she receive the terminations news *sigh*

Kal Ho Naa Ho

That's the title of the Indian movie I watched on Sunday nite, played by Shahrukh Khan, not that handsome though, I wonder why so many people crazy over him *bingung*
Actually I'm not a fan of Indian movie though, just because a lot of people, like Yvonne said I should try to watch, so I think no harm trying to watch, as it's not so long winded like the Korean Drama movie.
The story is about a girl by the name of Naina, her best friend, Rohit (man), which actually falls in love to her, but yet she falls in love to Aman (Shahrukh Khan), which has a heart failure, and dying. So Aman, tried to match make Naina nad Rohit.
It's quite a good movie, and a lot of tears (eh not me lah...), in there you can see how deep is Aman love to Naina, until he doesn't have a heart to be with Naina coz he's going to die anytime soon, so in replace he asked Rohit, to chase Naina, as he knows Rohit also loves Naina...
Just wondering if there is such love in the real life...

Drunken Master

Saturday, I was having some of clients who are quite close to our company, to come over to my place to have a Christmas party, my mom is the main chef, she did all the cooking, meanwhile I became a pastry chef (again), with the help of my God sista (again). I supposed to make Tiramisu for dessert, but then when it was ready, I realised ooppss..the invites are much more than my tiramisu, so I just hide inside the fridge lah *blush*
The party was quite messy but fun, well...it's a bit hard though, like not many people wiiling to merge into others or started the conversation by the time I introduced one another *sigh* It's easier to manage Indonesian inside the party, coz they will merge easily after been intoduced to each other....
Anyway...I was quite confused have to divide myself to so many people, but luckily the bell kept on ringing after a while, so I had to open the door, introduced new comers, and talked to them, so it was quite easy, just roughly repeated the same questions *lega*
I have some star guests for the nite, and I've prepared 2 bottles of Choya, since they said they like Choya very much. Since the first time they stepped into the house, he couldn't be separated from Choya's bottle..just like lovers wakakkakakka...
And then I lost count how many bottle of wine followed after that, until almost everybody had gone, then he started to said something quite rude, then everybody were so surprised, I thought he was joking, and everybody still tried to bend his sentences into joke...and then they didn't show any sign of leaving my house, meanwhile my parents had gone to sleep..so I decided to send them back home, then I realised they are really drunk, especially the Choya guy *sigh* When I dumped him downstairs of his block, he even couldn't stand properly anymore *sigh* Dunno whether he slept downstair or he managed to climbed up to his unit that nite...
Luckily I didn't drink much last nite, but I was very sleepy during the drive, but I wasn't drunk *lega lagih* Actually I was planning to drink that nite, as I'd asked my God sista to sleep in my place, so I don't need to send her home after the party, but I didn't have any chance to drink, what I drink was only a glass of choya, that I made after the crowds subsided, and I was not too sure what, as the drunken master kept on going back and forth to my wine cooler, to get himself a drink...then somebody passed me the drink and said,"Hey flo, wanna try this one? It's new bottle", so I just took a sip or two then returned the glass to the owner, now I got sore throat again from sharing drinks *sad*
And I slept very late on Saturday, mmm not Saturday, that one Sunday morning already, coz I chatted with my sista, till 3.30 am, and still got lunch appointment on Sunday *sigh*

My House Sneak Preview

Juicy Stories

This morning I had to attend breakfast party...usual lah it's my client's again..*sigh* Luckily I woke up quite early today (these past few days I come back to my old habit, wake up late, coz finally my dad can understand that I don't need to be early for my work for this line *lega*) and at that time I could hear, that (cute) neighbour leaving the house...and lemme clear...he's not cute, may be that time I just woke up, so my eyes had not functioned well enough *blush*
When I brushed my teeth, I nearly swallowed my tooth paste, because I heard a guy was singing I'll be home for Christmas, and suddenly he stopped, may be he knew that if he sang in the hdb bathroom, then the whole block could hear it...wakakkakka...
Talking about I'll be home for Christmas...last Tuesday during my voice class, my teacher said,"Hey it's Christmas, so why don't we sing Christmas song?"
I said,"Ummm okay..." I'm not too keen towards Christmas Song, too cheesy (got a lot of stories behind it also lah actually *blush*), unless the one that we sing in the church lah...
Then my teacher said,"Okay this week we sing I'll be Home for Christmas and Joy to the World".
OMG I hate I'll be home for Christmas, just simply because I've never been home for Christmas, and if I were home, then there is no Christmas *sad* yeah more or less something like that lah...
So in the brekkie party, I came late, coz I always have this thought in my mind,"even I came to the office I do not come this early, so why should I go so early?" *blush* Then arrived there, meet my client at the reception, and she said,"So are you going back to the office after this?"
Me,"Yeah, have to.."
She said,"So you'd better shop a lot, so that you can be more productive.."
Aiyoh...did she try to hint to me that I have to spend *sigh*
So I went in, and found out that the brekkie was provided by Coffee Beans, and then the manager quite cute *deep sigh* He was in charge of the drink, and I asked whether they served any tea, coz he was holding coffee, then he said to me I'd get it for you...Then he just left all the things behind to get me a cup of tea *surprise* and after that he kept on passing back and forth in fron of me, and gave his best smile to me *sigh*
Oh no, I'm on duty lah...I have to keep my proffesionalism donk, ya gag? Besides my ass is still in pain, and I'm wearing 3 cm heel, which made me feel like I'm in hell with my back pain and knee injury (well, the thing that keep me on is only the message from one of my fashion guru,"In order for you to be beautiful, you have to suffer, no pain no gain"), so I don't have any appetite to talk...so sorry couldn't entertain him lah, besides he also was on duty what....
And I moved to Takahsimaya to get the Rose Chan, then when I as queueing they played another I'll be Home for Christmas again, Oh no...somebody stabbed me to death pleaseee.....
Anyway back to the story track, the juicy stories..last Saturday, one of my Trisakti friend, who provides me with femina magazines, come with some magazines, then said,"eh Flon, di edisi ini ada B lagi loh..." she was flipping the magazine to show me RCTI ads inside the magazine, as B is one of the reporter, and he was our classmates as well...
Then my mom was very curious,"Siapa tuh B?"
My friend, with her wicked face started to make up more juicy story,"Oh tante gag tau ya? B ini dulu temen sekelas, kalo ujian duduknya deket Flona, dan cuma 2 semester di Trisakti, trus pindah ke Australi, makanya Flona juga ke Australi tuh Tante...Duh kok tante gag tau sih..."
Alamak...my face turn red, she sounded very convincing, until, everybody came towards her, to see B face, then I shouted,"Eh do you believe her? sure?"
After everybody saw her face, then everybody realised that she tried to fabricate stories only...
Then because of that, my Mom, started her non sense stories, by saying,"Eh kamu tau si A? tante nemu suratnya buat Flona loh, waktu tante lagi beres2in lemarinya Flona".
I was very surprised,"Hah? Mama nemu surat dari A? Emang dia pernah nulis surat ke saya? Koq saya gak tau?" then I started to imagine A's face *blush* yeah he was interested in me, but so far he never written anything at all, he used to know what time I used to arrive in class, and he would be patiently waitin' for me there, meanwhile me, when I'm approaching the class, I would be very careful enough, to check whether there is somebody else inside the class, if not, then I'd go somewhere else first, but if yes, then I would talk to somebody else to avoid him *sigh*
Continued with another story, my mom asked my friend again whether she knew about the mistery man who sent flower to my faculty's admin office on Valentine's Day or not *sigh* Yeah I knew who sent that flower, but I've never told my mom...you know it's so embarassing...I didn't have any class that day, then suddenly the Faculty admin called my mom, and asked her to pick up the flower bouquet for me *sigh*
And almost everybody knew that incident, so the next day, when I walked to the class, I was not dare to lift up my face....yeah that's me too famous...even in Sydney I was too famous as well, that's why I try to keep low profile here in Singapore....tired though *sigh*
But then, even though how low I'm trying to be, then suddenly my friend from Japan is in Singapore, while last nite I recceived another call from my friend from Jakarta, saying he's in town, whether I could met him for dinner, while tomorrow nite I have to conduct another party for my clients alamak....
Oh and the stories of my mom still continues, and I was not interested in hearing anymore...I just let her entertain my friends with her stories lah...wakakkakaka...
Have a bless week end everyone

Walking together in Parramatta Park...
Shopping together in Parramatta Mall...
Attending your boring class *alamak*

Manusia Berencana Tuhan Menentukan

Story One
Tuesday Evening, I received sms from unfamiliar number, it said,"I have given birth to a baby girl, 3.1 kg, 55 cm, her name is .... Tan."
I tried to think very hard,"Do I have a pregnant friend or is it wrong sms?"
But I still reply,"Congratulations, where are you?"
It replied,"649"
Hmmm...not even gave me the hospital name, only room number, made mo more frustated
Tried to squeeze my brain some more,"My Singaporean friends whose surname Tan either single or the wife is not pregnant". *sigh*
Squeezed more, my pregnant friend just gave birth 2 months back to a baby boy, then suddenly realised, oooouuwwww that Trisakti friend, which came to my place last Saturday, she was telling me that the doctor said she had to go for cesarean on Tuesday, as the baby head still not turning down, and the doctor need to go on holiday, but she and her husband still considering about it.
*sigh*
Finally I solved the mistery sms, yeah her stomach was not big at all, that's why it's really didn't hang onto my memory, besides the surname is Tan, I don't know her husband surname either *blush* Well, it's amazing you know, like they were trying to postpone the birth, but yet suddenly voila, the baby is out...so no matter how hard you try to plan, at the end God still play a part
So I went to see them yesterday evening, both baby and mother are in a very good condition, the baby so cute, rosy cheek, and so small *sigh*
Story Two
Yesterday nite I brought my parents for groceries shopping, and in the same time I needed to go back to the office, coz I forgot to put something for supplier upstairs (eh it's not because of I went to see a movie again lah..this time *blush*)
When I was upstairs near my supplier place, suddenly I realised I need to double check something again, so I came down to my office with my parents, then realised ooopss...my medicine lying there on my table, so I run and tried my best to hide my medicines *phew* But then my mom hands are always itchy, she likes to dig my things, when it's going near to the place where I just hide the medicine, then I said," Finish, let's go back".
Then my father suddenly asked me,"Papa ada tinggalin buku gak di sini waktu itu?"
I said,"Kayanya cuma kamus doang deh Pa."
Papa,"Coba liat itu di sebelah masih ada buku papa gak?"
I was in dilemma, if I went to the next room, then my mom found out about my medicine, bingo I will be a dead meat....then on the other hand my dad asked about his book, which I have to show respect to him by helping him to search in the next room *sigh*
But I chosed to go to the next room with my dad. When I tried to bend down, because of the panick moment, I hit my back with the corner of the table *bledug* then I shouted...it was very bloody painful....*sigh* but luckily because of that my mom attention was diverted to me *sigh* (I even don't know whether it should be lucky or unlucky to hit the table corner *blush*)
So last nite I couldn't sleep properly, it hurt very badly, especially when I change position during my sleep, now I do understand, why there is a phrase "Pain in the ass" because it's really painful...
*sigh* Actually I've planned for tomorrow schedule, I will go to Yoga class and continue with spa, but because of the pain, all is going to the drain *cry*
