Dirgahayu RI yang ke 61

Would like to say Happy 61th Birthday to my beloved country, Indonesia. The country where I was born and raised up. The country that has provided me all these while, and formed me to what I am now. The country that has taught me about unity in diversity, all the good value of being a human, how to respect each other in daily life.
Suddenly I recalled one of our National Song that was written by Ibu Sud, the title is Tanah Air, and I heard it was sung again by Cokelat, but too bad I haven't heard, and couldn't find as well.. the lyric goes like:

Tanah airku tidak kulupakan
Kan terkenang selama hidupku
Biarpun saya pergi jauh
Tidak kan hilang dari kalbu
Tanah ku yang kucintai
Engkau kuhargai

Walaupun banyak negri kujalani
Yang masyhur permai dikata orang
Tetapi kampung dan rumahku
Di sanalah kurasa senang
Tanahku tak kulupakan
Engkau kubanggakan

Yes this is my pledge, no matter where I am and who I am, I will always be a true blue Indonesian at heart, just like an Indonesian wise word says "Biarpun hujan emas di negeri orang, lebih baik hujan batu di negeri sendiri".
Once again Happy Birthday Indonesia...

Memory

I think my memory overloaded, can add some more RAM or not ya? *sigh*
Yesterday in my singing class, I brought that Samson CD, but I forgot to bring the CD cover with me. My teacher asked me,"Which song do you want?"
I said,"No 8, please.."
In the middle of the hearing my teacher said,"What's the title of this song?"
I tried very hard to remember, jreng...I felt nothing left inside my brain, ...clean....very clean, can't remember anything *serem* Even my teacher said,"Hey..what's happening to you today?"
And then when the song was played, I could sing the whole songs, but by the time my teacher play in the piano and adjusted the key for me to sing, after singing 2 lines, my mind went blank again *sigh*
I stopped and opened my mouth, tried my best to recall something, but couldn't find anything *tablo (=tampang blo'on)*, again...my brain is very clean *sigh* and my teacher also stopped playing and looked at me with puzzled look *sigh*
Alamak...memory overloaded...

Sarang Penyamun

Just posting about beautiful day only last Friday, then I had my week end ruined on Saturday afternoon *jedotin kepala ke tembok* Seems I am not allowed to post beautiful things in my blog kali yaaa? I have to complain and tell about bad things only in my blog *yakin bin yakun (eh yakun kan the one that sell nice kaya toast yak hihihihii)*
The story goes like this, last week I received a sms from my friend (remember I ever wrote about my friend, husband and wife, which are very annoyingly try to sell Amway thing to me?) saying that,"Hi we would like to invite you to our baby 1 month old celebration this Saturday from 1pm-4pm".
Since I respected them as my long time friends, and I did visited the wife in the hospital after she gave birth, so I replied,"Tolong sms-in alamatlo lagi donk J ke gue, thanks ya".
Suddenly I received a phone call from J, so we chit chat lah...basa basi geto loh...and at the end of conversation, I agreed to come on Saturday around 1 pm lah...
When I arrived at their place, jrenggg... loh kok a lot of people, and I didn't know even one of them, so I thought may be their colleagues lah..But then J said,"Oh go straight ahead to the food and have your self lah, ini mereka colleague-nya istri gua..."
So I took my food donk, then sat in 1 corner, then the wife came, and introduced me to all the colleagues. After that suddenly 1 guy came and sat next to me, starting conversation,"Looks like you're a very important person in this party leh..."
Wadoh..I started to feel uneasy nih...What a way to start a conversation yak *serem*...yeah I always feel uneasy with a sweet mouth person...But anyway, getting used to it in my daily live, I think "aiyah...who scared lah...head on.."
I asked him,"Oh so you're Y's colleague? You also work in Banyan Tree?"
He said,"Hmmm no I don't work there, I'm self employed.."
Jreng...Oh no....this must be Amway people...started to feel uneasy lah gue....then I made a few mistakes that allowed him to bombarded me with the Amway product and service, which I tried to save my self by saying,"Oh ya Y has already shared with me about that..."
Oh my God...gue di sarang penyamun *serem* luckily one of my fren sms me during that scary talk, so finally I told him,"Sorry i have to make a call..."
And as you can guess after that i told him"Sorry ya..I have to make a move, because I have something urgent to attend to..anyway nice talking to you.." *Hoeeekkkk...muntah2*
Dan berpamitanlah gue dengan tuan dan nyonya rumah yang diiringi dengan ucapan,"Oh yah kita orang kapan2 main deh ke rumah elo...gimana kalo minggu depan?"
Gulps..Oh my God..not another Amway preach nih...I said,"Wah my schedule next week is pretty tight.." (which is also true lah...)
Still not giving up, they said,"How about the week after next?"
Gubraks...persistent amat siyyyy...gue jawab,"Eh gue bakalan balik Jakarta...Why don't you just give me a call when you wanna come down, coz my work schedule is pretty unpredictable (which is very true lah..), other than we make apppointment then cancelled, not nice kan..."
With their dissapointed face,"ok lah..."
Waaaaaaaaaa...piye iki Gusti....duhhh..kok bisa ya, berkulit badak sampe tebel gitu...apa gak berasa apa signal2 dari gue? *sigh*
Moral of the story, if you get involved with Multi Level Marketing, please don't friend me ya...wkakkakaakakka...oopsss...wrong...deh...
If you're into Multi Level Marketing, please spare your friends lah, I mean friend is friend indeed, just tell them,"Eh I'm selling Amway or what lah...if you need something please contact me ya..."
I think that way will be better, because I agree Amway product is good, but I just don't like the way they pester me, as though I'm a stranger that they can brain wash with their idea...friend is friend lah...don't hard sell...agree?

Week end is coming

Ahhhh...week end is finally here, even though week end or no week end most of the time is no effect for me *sigh* but anyway "Oh, I love week end.."
Since young I always feel that on week end whether it's cloudy or not, the sky is always brighter, I feel very happy, and like the soft bell is ringing in my ears...
Hhihihihii..that one likes peabo bryson song ya? huhahahahha...
Pokoke it's a beautiful day *nyanyi*
Happy week end everyone

Sandwich

As a food it could be said quite yummy, but I wanna talk about being in a sandwich position. It's very bloody annoying, like the phrase "Mundur Kena Maju Kena" *sigh*
Gue benci sama orang yang suka merekayasa suatu kejadian di antara 2 orang, tapi kemudian yang jadi isinya sandwich itu gue...Apa sihhh maksudnya?
I don't like dirty politic, it's not easy to have a real friend, but it's very easy to make enemy, so why shouldn't we treasured every body friendship, and live happily ever after?
Life is hard, why should we make life even harder...
Moral of the Stories...Please don't eat sandwich *gak nyambung* wakakakkaka...

Samsons - Kenangan Terindah

Lagi males posting nih he he he...
Tapi tadi pagi tumben gue bangun pagi, trus mendung tuh (di singapore mendung lah..jangan pada protes yaa..), angin sepoi2 lumayan dingin...
Pas nyetir ditemenin lagu ini, wadoh..gak kuat...pas bagian depannya, yang ada violin apa cello geto deh gue gak yakin, pas ada suara violin ato cello, rasanya kayak hati gue diiris sembilu, miris banged...
Coba dehhh dengerinnnn...
Tapi sayang yah pas udah mulai tengah, lagunye mulai bising...tapi gue tetep cinta mati koq ama lagu ini, coba deh dengerin *teteup*
Buat yang di Singapore, met liburan yah, National Day nih, cuma kan gue ga isa bilang Happy National Day donks? Kan dikau2 pada masih tetep Indonesia kan? *pe de*

Getai Hunting

I never go to Jakarta *singlish* Yoo..I cancelled my ticket 3 hours before my departure time, realising that I wouldn't be able to finish my work on time *sigh* Of course I had to pay penalty *sigh* But what to do, there any other things that is more important than paying penalty...
Anyway...now is Hungry Ghost Festival, which according to Chinese beliefs, every 7th month of they Chinese Calendar, all the souls would be release from heaven or hell, that's why it's called Hungry Ghost Festival. Where here in Singapore you can find joss stick everywhere at the road side, accompanied by cake or fruits, and people start to burn the paper. So they also have celebration, if they were cash rich, then they will have getai, which is singer accompanied by full band.
After reading yesterday newspaper, I became quite curious about getai, so there I was yesterday, searching the getai performance schedule in the internet, then found out there were 2 performance near my place, one in Redhill and the other one was in Queensway Shopping Center.
Couldn't decide to see which one, so I drove around those 2 places, to check it out first. Seems that the one in Redhill was quite happening, so I went there, and joined the crowds..of course not really inside the crowds, but just choose the less crowd place...
Of fourse they spoke in Hokkian, and their Hokkian is very deep, it's hard for me to catch up what they were talking about...surrounded by uncles and aunties, luckily last nite one not the very scary one *sigh*
Let me tell you, it's more fun than watching Singapore Idol, all the getai singer have a very good quality of voice...with all the light settings, suddenly it threw me back to the 80's where in Jakarta still have quite a number of people holding a wedding banquet with Chinese full 8 course dinner in the night club, where the singer, wore very glittering clothes, high cuts, dance lively, with those type of disco lights....*sigh*

Intoxication

Detoxification program is becoming talk of the town nowadays, a lots of people are doing it. Spas and clinics are trying to offer this programs to people also. But me, of course, I don't follow the trend easily, I always against the flow *ahakz ahakz* the "in thing" for me is Intoxication instead *smile sweetly*
My friend, who is famous as Drunken Master (read as :wine expert) in JalanSutra group, is in town for these few days. We supposed to have dinner last nite, but it was postponed until wee hours drinking session *sigh* He was pleading with me in sms,"Please, I need a booze of alcohol, coz i had too much coffee and krating daeng for today".
So you know lah what happened next, I hung out with him to satisfy his alcohol cravings in the wee hours, where all our usual hang out place had been closed for the day *sigh* So we went to Balcony at Heereen, which opens 24 hours, as per what I expected, the collection is so dissapointing, but no choice what *nyengir*
Luckily last nite he was not really in the mood, otherwise he likes to chat up with the waiters about drinks, which usually ends up we will have lotsa freebies vintage collection of wines *phew*
He will be quite frequently comes to Singapore these fews weeks, which I don't know whether it's a good news or bad news, coz that means I'll be in intoxication program during his stays *pasrah*
The other good news is tonite he will be cooking his famous pasta for me at my place, and I would like to share this good things to you, by inviting you all to have another kopdar in my place? I'll cook that pasta for you *senyum manis* Hayooooo wanna try? send email and fixed up the date folks!!!!

Hangat-hangat T%* Ayam

Cuaca di Singapore sekarang ini mendung menggayut di langit, yang disebabkan oleh hujan deras yang disertai oleh kilatan2 guntur yang silau di langit *caelah kayak sonora ahakz...ahakz..*
Buat ngangetin cuaca hari ini, gue mau menulis tentang topik yang paling hangat buat dibaca di blog guwe...pada tau donks semua? Yo'i coy...sapa lagi kalo bukan Woman of the Year, alias Nunik *nyengir*
Beberapa waktu yang lalu, Nunik bilang ke gue,"Ma'am anu...saya tolong dicarikan handphone second hand, dan tolong dipotong dari gaji saya..."
Weleh anu melulu yak...wakakakkaka....ternyata si Nunik, suka anu huahaahuahhahha...Doh handphone bekas..nyuruh gue lagi...di Singapore lagi..yah ogahlah gue...gue jawab aja,"Wah maaf yah Nik, saya gak berani nolongin kamu buat beli sesuatu, apalagi barang second, nanti kalo kenapa2 saya yang susah. Gini aja kamu coba nanya temen kamu, terus kamu pergi aja ke sana bareng temen kamu, duitnya saya kasih..."Nunik,"Wadoh ma'am kalo gitu anu ajah deh...tolong ma'am belikan handphone yang baru..."Weleh anu lagi *gubraks* gue,"Lah saya kan udah bilang saya berasa gak enak buat beliin kamu, ya udah kamu mau berapa saya kasih uangnya..."
Dan akhirnya...jreng jreng...Nunik punya handphone...udah sometime back siy...cuma gue gak nulis ajeh...sekarang mo cerita tentang kejadian beberapa hari yang lalu nih..si Nunik bilang,"Ma'am anu..saya tolong dibelikan card buat tilpun ke Indonesa dan Ibu saya di Arab Saudi..."
Give up deh guwe anu melulu hihihihii....gue bilang,"Card Djawa?"
Fyi Card Djawa itu kartu telepon murah meriah buat ke Indonesia gitu..gue juga gak tau nih kartu exist...karena tiap kali kalo gue tanya ke tukang juwalan kartu buat nelepon ke jakarta yang paling murah apa, jawaban yang gue dapet itu bervariasi antara satu toko dengan lainnya...tapi ternyata Card Djawa ini spesialisasi di antara Para Pahlawan Devisa ini loh...
Nunk,"Bukan ma'am, anu..kartu yang buat henpon saya ini loh..."
Gue,"Ohh top up card? loh bukannya kalo buat nelpon ke luar negeri Card Djawa lebih murah?"
Nunik,"Wah gak apa2 lah ma'am saya pake henpon ajah, lebih gampang..."
*gubraks*..nik..nik...kalo gini caranya kapan dikau dapat membeli segenggam berlian? ck ck ck...*kagum*

Ucrit

Seblom gue nulis postingan hari ini, gue mo ralat dulu ye buat postingan kemaren ttg pelem AADC, gue salah, yang ngarang puisi "AKU" itu adalah Chairil Anwar sperti yg ditulis Astrid di komen..Thanks yah Astrid buat masukannye *caelah gue kayak redaksi majalah femina..tapi koq betawi banged yak? huahuaauha*
Waktu gue nonton tuh pelem gue inget pengarang "AKU" itu Oom Anwar *SKSD* tapi apa daya waktu gue nulis, karena deadline mepet..dan gue dah pake acara mengheningkan cipta beberapa menit sgala, tapi yang muncul Rendraaaa melulu *sigh* Dan akhirnya terjadilah kesalahan yang tidak diinginkan oleh semua pihak tersebut *eittss..bela diri*
Btw, inget sepupu gue yang menggemaskan buat ditabok itu? wakakkaka...Nah pas bulan lalu gue di Jakarta, nyokap gue menggelar acara jumpa penggemar dengan gue buat sepupu2 gue yang najong2 tapi nge-fans berat sama gue *mau muntah* Biasanya sih, kalo gue pulank, gue jarang banged ketemuan ama mereka, soale gue selalu punya ajah alesan buat ngeles *ssst jangan bilang2 nyokap gue ye* Tapi kali ini gue berasa gak enak lah yau buat ngeles terus, sejelek2nya mereka toh emang mereka jelek *lohhh??* hihihi maksude mereka emang jelek tapi kan mereka tetep sepupu gue yang menggemaskan (buat ditabok) *teteup* hihiih..
Bagian Pertama
Panggil ajah sepupu gue itu Ucrit ye..ceritanya kan dia lulu SMP nih, dan mo masuk SMA (sekarang sih udah masuk SMA lah ya...), nah dia tuh saking ngefans berat ama gue (eh jangan2 dia naruh poto gue bareng dia ukuran poster di kamar tidur dia lagi *parno*), dia slalu berpikir dia harus perform lebih baik dari gue, ato at least on par (=selevel) lah sama gue geto loh...
Kebetulan dulu gue kan sekolah di SMAK 1(duar...ketahuan deh gue product taon berape..sekarang kan udah SMUK 1 yee?). Nah nyokapnya Ucrit yang notabene adalah tante gue alias adiknya nyokap gue, dari dulu udah wanti2 ke Ucirt bahwasanya dia udah ditakdirkan untuk sekolah terus di K Yusuf sampe doski tamat SMA.
But on the other hand, being graduated from Secondary, sah-sah ajah donk kalo dia punya pikiran,"Mo nyoba SMUK 1 juga ahhhh.."
So kalo gue gak salah denger dia ada daftar ato kali made enquiries kali yak buat masuk SMUK 1 *EGP* Trus dia nanya ke gue,"Ci, emang dulu waktu cici masuk SMUK 1 bayar berapa sih uang pangkalnya?"
Walahdalah...dalem banget nih pertanyaannya, gue jawab,"Wah udah lupa tuh, itu kan jaman purba banget.."
Surprisingly, nyokap-nya si Ucrit koq tiba2 jadi sejiwa dengan Ucrit ya? Seinget gue tante gue ini bukan orang yang begitu deh,"Ohh...SMUK 1 mah kalo mau masuk gampang, asal mau keluar duit lebih mah, kamu pasti diterima...cuma mami ajah gak mau hambur2in duit sampe sebanyak itu, kan ini cuma SMA, buat apa? Buktinya tuh temen kamu si X, dia kan pelajarannya gak sebagus kamu aja, tapi keterima di SMUK 1".
*pingsanlah gue*
Barusan gue nulis gue tiba2 kepikiran koq si Ucrit itu nanya bayar berapa, instead of nanya NEM gue berapa yak? Kali dia tau kalo mo ngadu head on gitu di pasti kalah ye?
Dan setelah ditelusuri lebih dalam lagi, gue baru inget, sampai detik ini, Ucrit mengaku bahwa dia belom nerima hasil NEM-nya, yang notabene, cuma nyokapnya doank yang percaya...jangan2 mereka sindikat? hihihiihi...
Bagian ke 2
Ucrit masih blom puas juga buat membuat gue tambah alergi sama dirinya,"Ci masuk UNSW persyaratannya apa ajah sih?"
Gue mulai agitated niy,"Loh kok tiba2 nanya UNSW sih? Dulu kamu bilang Poundsterling itu mata uang yang paling mahal, dan semua yang paling mahal itu adalah paling bagus, dan kamu bilang jadi sekolah di UK itu paling bagus, trus kamu kalo gak sekolah di UK buat kuliah kamu gak mau? Trus kok tiba2 nanya UNSW?" *senyum Iblis*
Bokapnya nyeletuk,"Duitnya kaga kuat euy buat ke UK.." Jreng..kok jadi bokapnya yang kembali ke jalan yang benar sih? Perasaan yang ngit endoy itu kan bokapnya, bukan tante gue *bingung*
Ucrit,"Iyah aku mau daftar kuliah di UNSW".
*gubraksss, pingsan lagi* Ihhh apaan sihhh..ngomong pake "Aku-aku"-an segala? kayak artis di acara infotainment ajah deh * mo muntah* Lagian Ucrit kan bukan kapiten *gak nyambung* Ato jangan2 Ucrit baru belajar sajaknya si Chairil Anwar *tambah tulalit*
Sambil nenangin diri gue jawab,"Kamu pergi ajah ke IDP di Kuningan, dia sana kamu bisa baca dan nanya2 tentang semua Universitas di Australia sampe puas.."
Duh gue berasa bersalah nih sama Mbak2 IDP,"Maaf yah mbak kalo di suatu hari nanti ada seseorang Ucrit yang bertanya2 sampe membuat Mbak mo nangis darah...semoga amal ibadah Mbak2 skalian diterima di sisi-Nya..amin.."
Nah sekarang gue juga jadi gelisah, lah wong di Singapore baru ajah bukan kampusnya UNSW karena mau bersaing dengan Monash yang buka warung di Kuala Lumpur, dan letak kampusnya itu amit2 deketnya sama rumah gue, jalan kaki paling 15 menit doank *mo pingsan lagi*
Sementara itu gue juga benernya lagi menimbang, mengukur dan me-apa lagi yak? hihihi...buat balik lagi tinggal di Sydney..yang menjadi pokok permasalahan adalah yang si Ucrit maksud itu UNSW mana yah? Ostrali apa Singapore? *gigit2 notbuk*
Kalo menilik ego dan gengsinya si ucrit sih pasti ostrali...tapi kalo ortunya found out bahwa ada UNSW di Singapore, trus mikir di Singapore kan ada gue dan lebih ekonomis, gimane donsks? *pucat pasi*
Sedangkan gue juga harus mengambil keputusan dalam waktu yang sesingkat2nya apakah gue mo menetap di Spore apa pindah ke Sydney lagi? *Tambah panik*
Duhh ada2 ajah deh idup gue ini *sigh* met wiken yah semuanya....hayo pe er buat wiken tebak2 buah manggis, UNSW Ostrali apa Singapore? *meringis panik*

Ada Apa dengan Cinta

Nama guwe flona, bukan Cinta waakkakakakakkakak.....
Dan gue mo cerita tentang pelem bukan guwe..kalo cerita tentang guwe judule ada apa dengan flona donks? huahahhauhaaha...
Btw...akhirnya tuh pelem yang udah gue beli dari jaman kuda gigit besi, dan nangkring di rak cd gue....gue tonton juga....
Gue baru tau itu yang namanya Nicholas Saputra ternyata emang guanteng abis *kamdut*
Sayang baru tau sekarang *lohhh....emang kalo tau dari dulu nape ye?*
Tapi koq actingnya si Dian Sastro di situ agak sedikit garing ya? Apa emang gayanya dia begitu? Kayak Matthias Muchus kan garing banget tuw (wadoh ketahuan deh gue produk taon berape *blush*)...perasaan si Mas Muchus itu mutsinya aktingnya kan menyatu kan..tapi tiap kali gue nonton, kayanya koq actingnya garing, gak ada penghayatan, dan agak maksa gitu..dan agak over...duh maaf yah Mas Muchus *sok kenal*...Gue gak pernah punya masalah dengan aktor lain, cuma dia seorang ajah kayanya....
Hmm itu si Nicholas Saputra tergila2 sama buku "Aku", trusan pas si Cinta nyari tuh buku ke Gramedia, gue kaget, kok pengarangnya Syuman Djaya sih? bukane itu sajaknya Rendra? Gue sampe muter2 kepala gue penasaran buat ngeliat sampulnya tuh buku *blush*, yang ternyata emang Syuman Djaya *sigh* ada Rendra-nya siy...tapi tetep ajeh gue kaga ngerti...kok bisa Syuman Djaya, ada yang punya bukunya gak? Pinjem donks *senyum manis*
Btw gara2 nonton tuh pelem, gue jadi inget dipinjemin satu buku kumpulan puisi berbahasa Inggris dari seseorang yang selalu menunggu gue di kampus pagi2, tapi gue selalu ngibrit buat menghindari diri dari doski *blush* yang masih nangkring di rak buku rumah gue di Jakarta...Ke manain yeee tuh orang?
Eh bukannye gue kangen, tapi gue kan musti ngembaliin tuh buku ke doski ye gakkkk?

Masih Seputar Rumah Sakit

Hmm sekedar update, gue kan penasaran berat tuh sama hasil cupping kemaren. Karena abis cupping dokternya bilang,"Wow this spot is very bad, very black".
Nah gue kan jadi penasaran tuh...jadi pas malem gue pulang, langsung gue nyari kaca, ternyata bener yang satu itu item banged...tadinya mo gue poto dan posting tapi menimbang, mengukur dan mengingat sesuatu dan lain hal *caelah kayak pejabat* akhirnya:
1.Siapa yang mo gue suruh motoin gue? Nunik? weleh...
2.Kalo gue post di blog, ntar bisa jadi parnografi kaga siy? Ntar gue diuber2 Rhoma Irama juga lagi, kayak Inul *sok tenar* hihihiih
Btw...beberapa hari yang lalu, pagi dinihari jam 1.30qm gitu, gue melarikan diri gue lagi ke rumah sakit, karena perut gue kembung banget, dan sesak napas...biasa lah maag gue kumat...jadi dengan jalan tertatih2, di malam yang sesunyi ini, aku sendiri..*nyanyi* hihihihi...sambil mikir nyampe kaga ye gue ke mobil?
Perasaan di rumah yang baru ini jarak dari blok gue ke tempat parkir tuw jauh ajeh...tiap kali gue mikir kalo gue kena serangan jantung kayanya bisa mati duluan di playground kali ya? hihihiihih...
Okeh singkat cerita sampailah gue di Gleneagles hospital (Rumah sakit langganan gue kalo malem gue kumat...), sesampainya di sono, sperti biasa gue ke Unit Gawat Darurat donks, sambil bertanya2 dalam hati kali ini gue dapet dokter yang mane ya... pas susternya ngubek2 record gue dan dia cuma naruh 1 lembar kartu..yah sudahlah, gue tau nasib gue, bahwa gue gak bakalan dapet dokter yang super duper cute ituw...
Sebel lah guwe....maksud gue bukan karena kaga dapet dokter cute, tapi ntar dokternya pasti nanya2 sejarah penyakit gue dari mula lagi, kan bete tuhhh...
Waktu dokternya keluar, jig...kok kaya guru math gue waktu SMP yang dibenci oleh satu sekolahan ya? Tambah patah semangat lah guwe...mane orangnya cuek lagi...sebel banget deh...tapi untung obatnya manjur, kalo kaga kan gue dobel bete tuw....

Acupuncture

Gue baru balik dari rumah sakit nih, doing acupuncture *bangga*
Pada bingung kan, koq doing acupuncture di rumah sakit? Iya...ceritanya di Raffles Hospital ada bagian Traditional Chinese Medicine-nya...kebetulan temen gue juga berobat ke sono, dan Raffles Hospital adalah rumah sakit keluarga gue *gak nyambung*
Yah gue berasa lebih aman ajah deh kalo ada di bawah hospital, toh at least mereka gak bakalan melakukan malpraktek atau sejenisnya...
Nah kenapa koq acupuncture..benernya gue jiper siy sama itu yang namanya jarum...boro2 acupuncture, lah wong disuntik ajah gue takut *blush* Sejarahnya kenapa gue takut ama jarum, yah gue seumur2 disuntik baru beberapa kali, karena biasanya kalo ada acara suntik bersama di sekolahan, gue selalu gak boleh ikutan ama ortu guwe *blush lagi*
Balik lagi ke soal acupuncture, gue kan punya back pain sama knee pain yang lumayan kronis nih *caelah bahasanya rek* nah gue tuw tadinya nelepon rumah sakit mo doing cupping, itu loh yang gelas dipanasin trus ditelungkupin di badan buat narik angin (fyi gue juga anti sama yang namanya kerokan)..
Seperti gue yang gue dah duga sebelomnya, ternyata sesampainya di rumah sakit, dokternya bilang,"Are you afraid of needle?"
Jrengg...langsung pucatlah muka guwe, lah wong setau guwe jarum acunpuncture itu kan segede gambreng...apalagi setelah nonton pelem Jewel in the Palace...blom nonton ye? Buruan gih nonton *gak nyambung*
Gue jawab,"Of course I'm very afraid of needle, but could I just do cupping instead?" *pasang muka memelas*
Gue dah yakin tuh dokter bakal ngomong kayak gini,"Yeah you can do cupping, but it will be more effective, if you also do acupuncture. My needle is not pain at all, even small kids around 5 years old still can take it".
Yaelah doc, gue di-ceng-in gitu sama anak 5 tahun *malu* trus doctornya nyambung lagi,"How about I insert 1 needle, then you see whether you can take the pain or not.."
Weleh si doctornya tau caranya buat meluluhkan hati orang euy...yah sudah, I take the challenge...dan ternyata sodara sodari, yang di punggung waktu di-insert sih kaga sakit..tapi waktu dicabut berasa kayak digigit semut, tapi yang di lutut, weleh gue kan gak berani ngeliat..waktu di-insert sakit euy..tapi waktu dicabut kaga berasa *lega*
Tapi waktu lutut gue di-acupuncture ye...trus dokternya masuh kayak bawa lisong gituw jreng....gue pikir loh koq nih dokter bawa lisong (=cerutu), gue celangak celinguk koq gak bawa kembang 7 rupa yak? wakkakakkaka...Dia niup2 tuh lisong, dan gue realise ternyata itu bukan lisong tapi arang *gasp*
Yeee gue panik donk, masa sih lutut gue mau disundut pake areng? Perasaan yang musti disundut itu biasanya kutil bukan? Dan lutut gue kan kaga ada kutilnye *bingung* ternyata dia bukan nyundut, melainkan cuma ngambil panasnya doank buat manasin daerah sekitar jarum2 di lutut gue *lega*
Weleh serem ajeh deh petualangan gue hari ini...tapi gue bakal balik lagi loh minggu depan *bangga*

Anjrittt

Waktu selasa kemaren gue abis ketemuan ama client gue di Paragon, trus gue nyeberang sebentar ke Takashimaya, judulnya mau ke kantor pos...eh beneran loh mo ke kantor Pos, di Takshimaya ada kantor pos koq lantai 4.
Nah waktu gue baru masuk di lantai satu, sambil ngobrol ama temen gue di hp, eh gue ngeliat sosok yang lumayan gue kenal, temen sekolah gue ternyata, kita satu skolahan sejak SMP sampai SMA, nah gue dadah2in dia, karena toh gue masih nyangkut di hp.
Pas gue dah matiin hp, dia langsung bilang,"Oh elo di sini toh".
Gue,"Iya, elo di mane?"
Dia,"Oh gue di Jakarta, kerja di mana elo di sini?"
Gue,"Oh gue buka company sendiri".
Anjrit...langsung loh nada bicaranya berubah begitu denger jawaban gue, kayak rada sinis geto, trus dia bilang,"Oh company apa?"
Nah ini pertanyaan yang selalu sulit gue jawab, karena gue kan emank bergerak di bidang yang sangat spesifik marketnya, alias niche market, jadi banyak orang kaga tau trade gue itu ape...nah gue bilang,"Hmm itu gue yang ngebantuin orang ngirimin surat dalam jumlah puluhan ribu.."
Dengan nada mantep dan penuh kemenangan plus sinis juga,"Ohhh elo yang naroh junk mail di kotak surat itu ya?"
Gue,"Bukan lah yauuu...susah deh ngejelasine...hmm gini..kalo elo beli kosmetik tuh kan biasanya mereka offer membership, nah tiap mereka launch product baru, gue yang ngirim newsletter ato postcard gituannya deh...kan jumlahnya banyak tuh, kalo dikerjain in house bakalan jadi jarum dalam jerami kan..."
Die tambah bo kam guan,"Ohhh....bisnis di sini kan lebih gampang daripada di indo kan ye?"
Gue," Elo coba ajeh sendiri...kalo tahan 6 bulan, gue salut deh ama elo..."
Die,"Emang masalahnye di mane?"
Gue,"Customernya demanding.."
Die,"Oh itu mah gampang..."
Dalam hati gue t*^ kucing lah....kenapa juga elo gak nyoba buka bisnis di sini???
Die lagi,"Emamg pegawe elo berapa?"
Gue,"20-an lah.."
masih shock dengan jawaban gue dia jawab,"Oh gede donk..."
Emank lo pikir gue kerjain sendiri ape kerjaan gue?? Dah tau suratnya puluhan ribu yang musti gue kerjain..Dogol banget siyy...

Bumi Gonjang Ganjing

Yesterday another earthquake, this time in Jakarta. They said the epicentrum is in the Sunda Straits, so the impact is in Jakarta lah yauuuu....
But so far afer cross check with all the sources, only my friend whose office in harmony could feel the quake, she said she ran out of her office, coz she felt a bad movement...
Hmm it reminds me when I was still in Jakarta a few years back, wadoh...approximately 10 years back man...*sigh* I ever experienced 2 earthquakes.
One is when I was driving on that highway, what's the name ya? Tol dalam kota itu lah..the one which price is..wadoh..how much...hmm may be now is around 4000 rupiah?
I was somewhere near Jelambar, suddenly I felt, ehh how come I felt my car shaking?
Then I saw everybody stopped by the highway, and of course I stopped also, then I felt the quake lah for a while *sigh*
The other one when I was attending Christmas Concert by Twilight Orchestra in Hotel Mulia, Senayan, together with my best friend, suddenly the room was shaken, the chandelier started to sway around, and almost everyone ran out of the ballroom.
Meanwhile the music still played, and the MC that nite was Becky Tumewu, stayed cool, and tried to calm the audiences down..
Reminded me of the Titanic Movie....that part, the music still keep on playing even though the ship was sinking *sigh*

Edaaannnnn

Oalah, piye iki?
Middle East start to fight against each other again, meanwhile there was a tsunami in our country again *sigh*
What happpened nah? *Thai style*

Science and Technology Minister Kusmayanto Kadiman said Indonesia received the bulletins 45 minutes before the tsunami hit but did not announce them because they did not want to cause unnecessary alarm.

"If it (the tsunami) did not occur, what would have happened?" he told reporters in Jakarta, noting that there was no effective way to spread a warning without a system of sirens or alarms in place.

I don't know is he a clown or a minister?
How can a clown become a minister? *sigh*
Just bring shame to our beloved country *geregetan*
I think Srimulat still have a healthy mind compare to this joker *dobel sebel*
Sangat Bodoh *Kayak Sun Go Kong*

GPS

After mixing around with my friends the last two trips back to Indonesia plus additional my friends' friend (nah loh bingung kan?), I become more and more famous as a GPS.
Don't know what GPS is? The Global Positioning System, usually called GPS, is the only fully-functional satellite navigation system. A constellation of more than two dozen GPS satellites broadcasts precise timing signals by radio to GPS receivers, allowing them to accurately determine their location.
Nah starting when I was in Jakarta, my friend who's GPS also quite good and she's a damn good driver also, has to ask me to lead the way from Greenville to Pondok Indah *sigh* At that moment I don't know who's staying in Jakarta, and who's already out of Jakarta for 9 years *blush*
When my compatriot was in Singapore, we were playing together with her friends who were also invited to her wedding in Bali, and the husband was an army before, when it's time to find the car or wanna move around shopping center, the GPS tracker is also me *sigh*
When my compatriot comfronted her friend which was in the army before,"Eh I thought, you army are supposed to know about direction very well?"
He rebutt,"Yeah that one in jungle, but not in concrete jungle like this.."
Dogol banged yah jawabannye, jangan2 bekas srimulat hihihihihihih
The most kamdut among all is when we were in Bali, the 2 nites before the wedding suddenly I received a call from one of compatriot asked me the direction to Uluwatu Resort *pingsan* which at the end, I spoke to the driver and lead him thru the phone to Uluwatu Resort...alamak, who is Balinese? The driver or me? *gubraks*

Jreeeenggggg....

I finally got a new staff *lega* She's also Malaysian, but this time, during the interview, I encouraged her to speak more, and she is very frank with me, said,"My weakness is I don't speak English very well..."
But I appreciate her frankness, I saw her eagerness to try her best to deliver her answer in English, so I accepted her. Hopefully...everything will go with the flow smoothly ya *touch wood*
Let me tell you the story about Malaysian in Singapore, most of them, in the name of "saving money", they usually stay together with their boyfriend...
Ya lah ...of course for me it's a lame excuse...wanna save money then share a room with another girl lah...why should sharing a room with boyfriend...well...it's a public secret in here anyway...
And then...this morning I accompanied her to do medical check up (it's the requirement from the government of Singapore when employing foreigner) at my family clinic.
Nah....I was so confused why it took her so long inside the doctor's room, then I asked the nurse....she said got problem...jreng...
And the problem is in the urine test, the result indicated that she might be pregnant *pingsan*
Mampus...my heart beat faster...I don't know what to say to her when she came out *sigh* but the nurse said,"Let her do her urine test one more time lah..."
And she came out from doctor's room *glek* She looked allright, I didn't know whether the doctor had told her about her first test or not, but then she went to toilet to do urine test again.
Luckily the second test appear that she's normal *phew*
Weleh....my life is so colourfull ya? Kayak nano nano *sigh*
Met wiken everybody...

Berubah

*Kayak Megaloman*
Do you think Miss World Contestants will have a pure heart and really concerns about humanity, even though they final speech is always,"My dream is having the world in peace" ?
Do you really think all the people who works in United Nation always have a high concern of human rights?
Nah, Why should I? From this moment *nyanyi* ahak..ahakz...I will try my best to put my needs above all other people, if not, everybody will stomp (eh stomp loh, not step anymore ) onto my basic human right *sebel*
As for Nunik, I've told her,"Sorry I can't release you at the end of this month"
Do you think what? I've already suffered for this nearly 2 years, juz because I'm holding my believe in not exchanging her, as I concerned so much about her wellbeing if I did so, then suddenly, I have to fulfill her dream? *no way man*
It has to be fair and square lah....she signed on for 2 years contract, let's face it lah..you think I'm her mother or sister or what?
*sigh*
Anyway....

Anjiiiirrrrr

Now I understand, why in Japan people usually commit suicide on Monday *manggut-manggut*
Imagine, I worked like a dog, throughout the whole week end, to rush those stupid marathon job, now feel burnt out, and still rushing, deadline today *sigh* Meanwhile I supposed to be in Boot Camp this week, so I let go the boot camp *sebel*
This morning, I was telling Nunik not to put the blue band inside the fridge, then suddenly she said,"Ma'am, anu..kalo boleh saya minta pulang akhir bulan Juli, soalnya anu ma'am saya mau sekolah. Kalo boleh loh ma'am, he he he..."
Anjritttt...Wanna go home at the end of this month and telling me today *sh%t*
I answered,"Loh, gimana sih kamu, kok ngasih taunya tiba2 gitu, mustinya dari jauh2 hari donk...yah udah ntar saya pikirin gimana..."
Nahh..now wanna play naughty or just release her, anyway it's the moment that I've been waiting for...but if she went home before I got replacement, How's Max? *sigh*
Another one, I arrived at the office, and the clown is here *sigh, when I asked her,"Eh why you Saturday never come ar?"
She said,"Oh last saturday meh? I thought this coming Saturday.."
*pingsan*
Oalah, What's thing I've done wrong until I have to face all those idiotic people in my life?? Apa pepatah "Anak Sabar disayang Tuhan" is not valid anymore? Then I have to become bad girl???

Marathon

Got new client, preparing for their marathon event which will occur at the end of the year. Doing this job, make me feel like I'm doing more than marathon, right now.
If people do marathon only in 1 days, my case, never ending marathon until that marathon event more than finished *sigh*
What a life...
Meanwhile, bujubuneng, I just palnned to terminate my clown today, suddenly, jreng....I received sms this morning,"Jie jie, I have a very bad stomach ache, I help you with work later can?"
But until now, I haven't received any further sms, should I called undertaker or mortuary instead? May be she's dead already
happy week end all, I'll be having a night mare thru the week end...

Clowns

Surprise surprise, those 2 clowns are in my office today, I'd never expected the elder clown to come in, since she said she had job interview before...Her skin quite thick ya...*sigh*
They are louder than before *sigh* just like class wihtout teacher, but actually only consists of 2 clowns *sigh* Ntar kalo spaneng gue naek, gue lempar golok deh ke ruang sebelah *nyengir*
They were browsing thru job vacancy in the newspaper, aha..I wish them all the best lah, with that type of attitude problems *sigh* They put me as referee, I feel bad *sigh*
Anyway, I've been addicted to Kapal Api 3 in 1 version already *sigh* Even though the first time I said it was too sweet, but when I drink it whille it hot, Wadoh can make me fly to 7th heaven *sigh*
The bad news is today is my last pack *sigh* but no wories lah at home still have the coffee, so I have to mix and match for next few days, but if that one finish, how ya? *hiks*

*ssh*l*

It's been a public secret that shouldn't hire a family member inside your company or you gonna be in trouble. True enough, those 2 *ssh*l* sisters really *ssh*l* *loh??kok jadi kayak smurf language yak? hihihiihih*
I put the elder sista in my client's place to help out my other 2 staffs which are having assignments down there, and this old *ssh*l* told me that my other 2 staffs have attitude problems, meanwhile my 2 staffs said she is an *ssh*l* which I believe she is the one *sigh*
I have terminated the elder one, based on her request, she couldn't work in such working environment, so I wish her all the best for her future lah...
Meanwhile the young *ssh*l* stay put in my office, 3 weeks ago, about Wed, I was outside having meeting, she sms-ed me said,"Jie jie, I'm very sick, feel uncomfortable, can you faster come back to office, please?"
Worried about her, I dashed all the way back to the office, and drove like crazy to send her home, and on the way, I asked her if she wanted to see a doctor forst before I sent her home, but she said she doesn't like seeing a doctor. I was still naive enough to believe her, after that on Thursday she didn't come, I tried to reached her in her 2 handphone number, but couldn't get thru, so I asked her elder sister, the elder sister said, she was better may be went out with the brother...What an *ssh*l* On Friday I received an sms saying she vomited blood, so she can't come to work *sigh* I was hoping receiving another sms saying she died, but never received *sigh*
But I still sent sms to her saying no need to come back to work til monday, and after that on the Wednesday, again she told me could she have a half day leave coz her friend was admitted to the hospital, I granted her the leave, but the next day she said she had a terrible stomach ache, she couldn't come to work.
I was expecting she wouldn't come on Friday, I received sms in the morning said,"Jie jie my stomach is in deep pain.."
I didn't reply, till around 11 then she sent another sms saying,"Jie jie where are you? I can not tahan already..."
Then I called her to find that actually she came to the office, I asked her to hang on, coz I was somewhere near the office. When I arrived, I purposedly acting very panick, didn't give her the salary, and told her,"Are you allright? can you go home by youself? Coz I'll be having a meeting soon, should I get you a taxi?
She said,"No, I can go home myself.."
Then last Sunday I received sms again,"Jie jie I'm going to Malaysia with my parents, will be back on Monday nite."
I have expected I will receive another sms saying that today she can't come to work, true enough, this morning there is sms from her,"Jie jie, I reached Singapore 4 am, so I'm very tired can't come to work..."
Bloody *ssh%l@, I would be still kind enough to let you work till this week end, next week, I don't wanna see your face anymore, get lost from my company...she thinks her father own this company, ape?
I remember very clearly when I was helping my dad in his company, I'd never had such behaviour...ah..young punk, is it moral degradation for younger generations?

Gubraks....

The Series of Unfortunate Events (Part 4)

Can't wait for another series ya? *wicked smile* Of course still have, don't worry, can be made to serial drama I guess *wink*
I was staying at Grand Hyatt Nusa Dua during my stay in Bali together with my friend's guest, and supposed to check out on Sunday (which is the wedding day), moved to Uluwatu Resort (coz the wedding was in Villa Istana, Uluwatu).
On Sunday, we (me and the Singaporean Couple) supposed to have spa, then a bit of shopping in Denpasar, but then since my partner in crime wanted to brigg her daughter to swim at our hotel, so I didn't join the spa session, which was at Martha Tilaar, Seminyak.
So after they finished spa, we checked out, but the car couldn't carry all of us, so we had to leave to luggage behind. The plan was went down Denpasar to have lunch, then a bit of shopping, alighted my partner in crime's wife and baby sitter at their house, then picked up the luggages, proceed to Uluwatu.
But we didn't have enough time, after lunch, we separated at the junction of Uluwatu and Nusa Dua, meanwhile the guys took taxi to Uluwatu, and the girls went back to Nusa Dua to pick up the luggages, and the car was riven by Mrs. partner in crime.
I was so worried I couldn't make it on time, till I thought:
1. I asked mrs. partner in crime to stay aside to give me drive her car
2. I just rushed down to wedding venue with short and t-shirt as a witness and after that I changed to my party gown.
Mrs. partner in crime is not a good driver, and for you who has been to Uluwatu, the road is winding and hilly *sigh* She was not brave enough to speed and overtook people *sigh*
I was very stress, then I started to put on make up inside the car, luckily all the make up looked right, not out of shape *sigh* Arriving at Uluwatu Resort, I just dumped my luggage in the reception, and took my party gown, ran to the toilet to change, and rushed by my partner in crime to the wedding venue.
By the time I arrived there, the music just started, the groom walked down the aisle, meanwhile everybody was saying the bride was worried about me, so I dashed thru all the in laws and brother asking where was the bride. Coz when the music finished the bride had not come out *jrenggg...*
So I also became the center of attraction, coz I arrived when the groom was walking down the aisle, while I was panick looking for the bride *sigh*
So I just left message to the people who's looking for the brides, to tell the bride I'd arrived at the scene...
Finally the bride came out with the father *phew* and I tried my best to stand at the spot where she could see me clearly *sigh*
Very very lucky I coould make it on time *phew*

The Series of Unfortunate Events (Part 3)

When I was in Bali I dropped my handphone into the water. I'd tried my best to dry up my handphone as soon as possible, but then my flash light couldn't go off, my camera at the end couldn't function *sigh*
So yesterday I went to Sonyericsson to repair it, they said it has corrosion, so after my handphone repaired the warranty will be void *sigh*
Being handphoneless, I browsed around to look for new handphone, but considering my shopping budget has been burst badly, but on the other hand I really want to get XDA atom. But after careful consideration and search, finally I found a good deal from Singtel, to get another Sonyericsson, luckily my number had been eligible to get that plan, so now I have new handphone *yay*

The Series of Unfortunate Events (Part 2)

Yesterday I forgot to write down Part 1 in the title, coz it's a series, so a lot of series of course *grin* Nah, in Bali I was meeting one of my partner in crime when I was still in Sydney, he and his wife provided a lots of help and warm service thru our stay in Bali. Allow me to extend my sincere thanks to both of you, I will never forget both of your kindness during my stay in Bali.
Anyway he has a baby girl now, 13 months, very cute, so far this is the second baby that willingly stuck to me, besides my cousin's son *sigh* (yupe, most baby and small kids doesn't like me *evil smile*). So on Sunday before we moved to Uluwatu, he brought his baby and wife to swim in Grand Hyatt Nusa Dua. Unfortunately the wife can't swim, so I become his surrogate wife in the swimming pool, helping him overseeing his daughter.
Yupe everybody stared at us, as though we were a very happy family *sigh* I look that old, huh? *deep sigh* Anyway I have no experience in handling the baby, especially in the swimming pool, some more my crazy friend, didn't put any floating devices on his daughter body, so I was more worried.
So practically I couldn't really swim, coz I was busy playing with his daughter, and take turn handling his daughter, at the end, I knocked my knee against the swimming pool staircase, so I have a very huge bruise on my left knee with the size of tennis ball, which of course still very pain until now *sigh*
Happy week end everyone, the story continues on Monday *grin*

The Series of Unfortunate Events (Part 1)

*Deep Sigh* Started from departure to Bali, At the check-in counter, the staff said,"Umm sorry ma'am, I can't find your name in the passenger list. Never mind I'll check from your reservation code".
Jrengg....she said again,"Under your reservation code it's also empty. Did you redeem your ticket?"
Me,"Yes, I redeemed".
Her,"Did you confirm?".
Me,"No, coz usually no need to confirmation".
Her,"Well, let's go to the ticketing office and checked from there..."
Me,"Is there anything you could help? It's my friend's wedding and I'm the witness.." *still cool and not lying though but the thing is the wedding ring is with me*
Jreng....the ticketing office and the check in counter quite far...*sigh* Arrived there, the staff at the counter said,"Sorry ma'am there is no reservation under your name, what you could do is either called the Krisflyer office and I don't think you could get this flight or bought another ticket for this flight."
Me,"Mmm it's quite strange why I have to call Krisflyer, while I'm standing in Singapore Airlines office here?"
Her,"Well, our office here not online ma'am, sorry.."
Not having enough energy to argue, I called the Krisflyer office, luckily was picked up quite fast, and they said the same, either I bought the ticket or redeem for next flight. Considering I had 2 Singaporean as a guests, so I had no choice but bought the ticket over the counter, luckily the price was not sky high *phew*
But she said the registration would be closed in 5 minutes, so she was quite under pressured to do my ticket, and she told me to run to the closest counter, which Raffles Class counter to check in and cut the queue.
So I did what she told me, I run to the Raffles Class counter the Ang Moh (=bule) there, was not happy with me for cutting the queue, but I said,"I'm terribly sorry it's emergency..."
Arrived there, the uncle also quite ya - ya (=belagu),"You don't suppose to come here you know, it;s Raffles Class".
Me,"I was told to do so, can you please help me to do it as soon as possible? Coz the registration closed very soon.."
He,"By right the staff have to accompany you here, you know..."
Aiyoh bloody uncle, you want a slap or 2 slaps? *sigh* that's by right lah...now is by left what? *sigh* I just ddidn't care, and he was still trying to called the office, finally he got thru the supervisor, which acknowledge my situation, and the uncle still said to the supervisor,"Why didn't you tell me about this case?"
Anjirrrrrr....that uncle still bo kam guan (= not satisfied), but finally everything settled, luckily my bagage could be hand carried, coz not big, and we had to run to the gate...Feel paiseh (=not nice) to my 2 guests though, thanks for the great help friend *phew*

Deep Condolescence

What else can beat the things that I'm doing now, a cup of Kapal Api Coffee (the 3 in 1 version, but too bad it's too sweet *bah* don't want to think tat I might get panick attack after the coffe lah, what the heck...just enjoy what I can now...), listening to Kenangan Terindah by Samson, and reading Femina (even though lotsa works to do, if necessary I won't pick up the phone until I finished my coffee or magazine..aiyah...what the heck, relax first lah)...wow this what I called perfect life *senyum puas*
Ever since I moved to Singapore, I'm very weak, easily fall sick. Clinic is my hang out place, at least once a month I fall sick, even during bad time, can be weekly visit *blush*
Because of that frequent visits, of course I make new friend, either with the nurse outside and the doctor *blush* The nurse so concern about me, until she offered me to become her god daughter, which I accept happily...
Yesterday I visited the clinic, nope I'm not sick this time, just having so much fun, can not be sick lah ya *nyengir*...I need to get a medical certificate from the doctor to get my license (keep on guessing friends what license I'm applying....not license to kill lah of course...wakakakkaka). By the time I arrived in the clinic, I didn't see my God mother, I felt something must had gone wrong, so I asked the other nurse, true enough, her husband passed away *sad*
Her husband had been battling for colon cancer since last year, and ever since she lost a lot of weight. I knew before I left for Jakarta, her husband condition was getting worse, but I've never expected it would be so fast....
Last nite I went to the Catholic Church in Bukit Batok to gave my last respect to the husband. That church ever been featured in the newspaper for its renovation which was done very nicely. Yupe the church complex is very impressive, but very dark, and of course my heart beat very fast when I was wandering around the church to find the hall *sigh* Scared lahhhh yauuu....
When I saw my God mother, she even lost more weight, and she told me,"I felt like half of my body died also, We always do things together, I have already missed him so much, I don't know what to do after this..."
Jreng.....I don't know what to say *sigh* I can feel the sadness that she feels...Hope you'll be doing allright God mom....take care...

A Letter To My Compatriot

Dear My Compatriot Diana Sosrosaputro,
It's been 16 years we've known each other, but feels like yesterday.
I would like to say thanks for our beautiful friendship that we share, in good times or bad times, even though we were separated in different continents, but our friendship still survive.
You're my life line when I'm in trouble, and you always be there for me, no matter what time I called you, you always be there *touch*
You're my source of wisdom (besides God, of course), but yet I pray that one day you can imply your wisdom towards your life as well. Sometimes life is not about rules and regulation, but it's about cool head, cool heart and forgiveness.
You're a very clever person, and I hope you'll have a beautiful EQ as well.
I want to say thanks to Harry Setiawan to take you as a wife, I hope both of you will share a beautiful and happy life together, in bad times and good times.
I also hope both of you can close one eyes or even two eyes towards each other, I'll pray hard for both you for your future.
With lots of love
xoxo
badtzumaru your compatriot
Now my posting lah ya....hmmm my gigs, oh no....wismilak ya...
I'm going to Bali to attend my compatriot wedding...hope everything's gonna be allrite....*sigh*
Happy week end everyone *mwuach mwuach*

Anomali

Still remember that words? I don't think that one is English words though, it means Deviation in English. Yupe I think I was deviating a bit hmmm a lot when I was in Jakarta last week end.
I ate like nobody business, which never happened in my life before, even my dad was very surprised seeing my appetite increase *blush* We had a buffet breakfast provided by the service apartment, and by the time we went back to our unit, I started searching additional food *blush*. Usually after lunch, I'll have 2 tea breaks (not drinking tea but looking for something to eat lah...), and after dinner we still went for supper of course *sigh* What had gotten into me? *suspicious* May be Buto Ijo *jrengggg...* But luckily so far until now i haven't gained any weight, but on the contrary I lost weight a bit *relief*
Secondly, photography is my hobby, but I had never enjoyed to be taken as the photo object, but this time, I was very narciss *blush again* Especially in the party, I can't remember how many photos of my had been taken, and I got a few photos of myself taken with my friends inside my handphone *senyum manis* Luckily so far I only use those photos as my handphone wallpaper, it considers quite narciss though, but I won't put it up in my blog of course *evil smile*
Thirdly, I was very "cengeng" duh what's the English translation...mmm touchy feelings or easily cry, something like that lah...Which is not my cup of tea also, no matter how my friend or my mom cry when watching drama or whatever, I would be still cool lah. But then when I was attending my best-est friend church wedding ceremony, during the moment they pay respect for their parents, the choirs sang "Di Doa Ibuku" Oh My God, I looked at Rudy, he was trying his best to hold his tears, I was very touch, and by the time Sari hugged and kissed her parents, waaaaaa it made my feelings worse, I keep on telling my self,"No, Flona...you can not cry, you don't have tissue inside your bag, please don't cry..." *sigh* but then Sari also broke down to tears...yaelah...Rudy gave Sari tissue, do you think I should shout,"Eh Rud, pass me the tissue euyyy..." Wakakkakakka.....
I also could feel love is in the air *nyanyi* during the church ceremony, and I was very touch, and of course envy lah yauuuuuuu.....but I feel very happy for Sari dan Rudi, all the best for both of you *hug and kiss*
Last but not leasy at the airport, Sari and Rudi sent me down also, and Sari looked very touchy and I was infected also waaaaaaaaaaa....why I become like this leh? *singlish*

Pondok Cianjur

I've come back *grin* too many things happened in this very short period, both in Singapore and in Jakarta *sigh*
Anyway, let's forget about the problem, let me tell you this story, since my compatriot was still in Singapore, she'd been talking to me about having lunch in Pondok Cianjur on Saturday which I supposed to be in Jakarta.
It's quite the "in" place to eat, and has become to talk of the town, I mean, the place is normal, but the food is damn good, Sundanese Food. My other gank member said the place is very crowded most of the time, so she tried to make reservation but no reservation is allowed.
Being good hosts, all the gank decided to go ahead, so my compatriot picked me up, and we were the first to arrive among the rest of the gank member. The crowd was quite okay, but looked like the queue system is a bit messy, so my compatriot who's having a very short fuse, quite furious with the waiter (or we called it Mas) while trying to pester him in getting a space, until that "mas" gave up and replaced by the other "mas". Trying to avoid any inconvinient that might arise, I told my compatriot,"You step aside lah, let me handle him".
So I tried using my best performance to pester the "mas", but then that nite I was not in the mood, so my performance was very poor, and by the time the rest of the gank arrived, it was like i was in cross junction *sigh*
But luckily, finally we got a space, after that another problems arose *sigh* Most of the best dishes were out of stock, and everybody was complaining, except me and some of the man (some of my compatriots have got married, and luckyy enough to get a patient husband). The waitress, which we called "mbak", face started to black, being have the longest fuse among all of my gank, I tried to save the situation again by telling my gank," It's okay lah, if they don't have it, that means I have to come back to Jakarta again to get those dishes, doesn't it?" So they cooled down, and order something else.
On the other hand, I'm still trying my luck just in case we could get all those sold out things by telling the "mbak","Sorry yah mbak, actually I'm coming all the way from Singapore to eat these special dishes, coz I'm 1 month pregnant and I'm craving for all those food, if you don't mind, please help us to try your best to get those dishes that is not available now..." *tanduk mulai keluar*
And of course everybody was clapping, laughing and screaming (I mean in our table), which made all the people turned the head towards us *blush*, but anyway they din't know what's happening lah...*phew*
The "Mbak" melted down, and now have a red face, and I felt like the star in mentos advertisement, crazy or what? pregnant? craving? *evil face* wakakakkakakkaka.... but in the end we still couldn't those sold out dishes, but at least I'd tried.
Come back to that pregnancy and craving things, I'll make sure when I'm pregnant my craving will be having pastry in the cafe in front of Eiffel Tower, Eating bagels in front of the Liberty Statue, Eating hot dog in Woolloomoolloo, Eating Nandos in Bondi Beach, Eating Pizza in front of Pisa Tower, touch the Sphynx nose, and etc...good luck to my husband then wakkakakakakkaa....
After that I think the "mbak" felt guilty for not being able to fulfill my wish, so it's a different waiter again serving our table....
Well when we left, the "mas" who was in charge of assigning the table said,"Thank you Ibu Diana..." Nah loh....my compatriot had been marked by the "mas" wakkakakakka....
Remembering all of them having a short fuse, so I've started to worry, for my next stop, Bali, is it going to be a Boot Camp or Holiday? *sigh*
Moral of story it's okay to tell white lie to save the situation, so everybody is happy...

A Letter to My Best-est Friend

Dear my best-est friend Sari Yuliana,
It feels like yesterday when we knew each other during the Trisakti Orientation, looking for all those stupid stuffs that senior asked us to find, high and low, here, there and everywhere.
Studying together, sending song dedication to each other till the operator knows us very well *blush*
Coming early in the morning during exams so that we could revised together (hearing you reading the summary to be exact *blush*). Living together with 10 others during TLP time...
Running away from class whenever we wanted to, you're my best company, and most of all the trip to Lombok on year 2000, that's the most beautiful things that I've ever done in my life *sigh* I just wish I could turn back the time *sambil nyanyi* to that trip again *pray*
When the two of our family merged together, what a wonderful experience...anyway I.... you very much *hueeekkk...eh bener lohhh*, You're one in a million *nyanyi lagi* or may be the only one on earth that has a very beautiful heart and soul. I'm very lucky to get to know you...and you're my best-est friend ever
Remember what I told you that become our motto? Don't stop studying until you find your soulmate, and nowwwww...it's proven, isn't it? *wicked smile*
No matter how much I....you *hueekkk*, I know someday you'll be with somebody else *duh gatel gue nulisnya wkakakakakka* just like Rick Price say in the "Heaven Knows"

And if you really love her
You gotta set her free

So know I let you go withRudi Sunarto. And Rudi, I would say, you're the most lucky man on earth, and I know you're a very good man as well, I trust you to take good care of my friend, wish you all the best to start your new chapter in your life...all thru your life you'll be by each other side till death due us (inclusive me lah ya pleaseeee...) apart *nyanyi lagi*

Now...Ke Jakarta aku kan kembaliiiiiiiii.... *nyanyi lagi*
Sorry I don't think I could do Kopi Darat this trip but may be next time yaaaaa...

Bloody B*ST*RD

Sorry for the foul title, anyway b*st*rd is the one that people always use on Hotdog, isn't it? *plesetan* Ooops that one is mustard lah *grin*
Anyway...I tought dealing with a man should be easier than dealing with woman who most of the time is having unreasonable behaviour ,driven with emotion and brainless...(sorry woman, even though I'm a woman I agree there are a lots of woman like that, but there are a little amount of woman who have good quality, for example me lah *pe de abies* and of course like you woman who read my blog *try to save myself*)
But then I'm wrong ladies and gentleman, this guy who I'm dealing with is more poisonous than the snake *sigh* Have a face like an angel, with a sneaky eyes, but I've never expected that he would be that poisonous *sigh*
Well, my company comitted a mistakes, I've forgiven the person who made mistakes, and I don't even care about it...and I'm a fair and square person, a mistake is indeed a mistake, I face it like a man...(oopsss...I'm a woman dink *nyengir*), I took on the responsibilities that I have to bear, but then sometime people like to use a chance upon mistakes...it's okay..come on play with me...face me...I'm not scared lah....
Then I found out that beforehands, the mistakes made by his poisonous staff also, my company became an escape goat *boiling*, it's okay....come on and play...I'll play whatever game you wanna play, b*st*rd...Come play with me...*wicked smile*
It's a real and cruel world, where justice has already dissapeared don't know where, may be go shopping, that's why can't find justice *grin*

Surprise Surprise...

Surprise 1
I've forgotten that I used to have diarrhea before my exam, til yesterday I started to go back and forth to the toilet *sigh* Old habit never dies *sigh*
Surprise 2
When I arrived at the school, there was my other class mate in front of me, but by the time I appeared inside the class, some of my classmates kan cheong (=eager, napsu) -ly shouted out,"Flonaaaa, sit here..."
Jreng...my face turned red, coz first my classmates in front of me is going to take my seat *pai seh* then because of that incident she had to go somewhere else to sit. secondly, the teacher also surprised why suddenly I became very famous *blush*
Yupe, I don't know why I suddenly became famous instantly, inside the class I'm not a very good student, most of the time I got lost in answering the question as well though *confused* anyway the new star has born *pe de abies*
Anyway don't ask me how was the exam, now I don't want to think whether I could pass or not, still have 2 more days to go *sigh*
Lemme go toilet first yakkkkk *nyengir*

Restless Week End

What you expect when your compatriot is in town with her husband to be? Of course you'll have to accompany them regardless what your condition is, won't you? Hints: Compatriot though *wink*
So the whole week end I become an official liason officer for my compatriot of course *bangga* well, the test for her hubby to be was not done by me though, remember I'm not a badgirl *wink* It was done by her friend when she was in Canada, Singaporean army and his wife, and of course I just added up to make it worse *tanduknya mulai keluar*
It was a very crazy week end, until I lost my voice *sigh* staying up till morning, shopped *teteup*, chatted, poked fun on them *sigh* Can't wait for Bali trip ...

Ritual

Thanks for all your concern friends *hugs* I hope I'll be recovering soon...
Ritual 1
Being grounded doesn't mean I'll stay at home whole day though *grin* For sure I will not be able to sleep during the day, and I can't sit still at home as well of course *bangga* As per what my mom always says,"I can't remember I crave for crabs during my pregnancy, but why you can't stay still?" *blush*
Remembering yesterday was the first day of PC show, so after lunch I decided to check on it as based on my yearly ritual which go there on 1st day to collect brochures and aiming on what to buy, and buy on the last day as they will slice the price especially at the end of the day. But this last fews computer show, I always buy on the 1st day also, coz the crowds is so unbelieveable *nyanyi*
Even though I felt very giddy all the way, but I believe if I fainted, surely a lot of people would help me *pe de abies* This year, quite weird, no camera exhibitor, they do sell camera but under retailer. They even have a big electronic company like Best Denki and Courts putting up the stall. And the most annoying of all of course the stupid insurance company that trying to sell their product by bluffing people to join sure win lucky dip (of course they can't bluff me lah), and they kept on saying,"Excuse me can I have your time for 5 minutes, please?" *gondok*
As I've spent too much at Great Singapore Sale already, so I don't have much money left to spend for the computer show *sad* Anyway my saliva was drolling over these 4 products, the in focus projector (this one has been my dream over the years to have the projector tv) *sigh*
Next one is Nokia N-93, wow very cool, huh? Luckily hasn't been launched *phew* But then that XDA Atom is soooo tempting *sad* but I kept on telling my self,"not this time flona, not this time, unless you strike lottery, then you can buy lah.." In fact, I seldom buy lottery *nyengir*
Lastly, of course the Xbox 360, the graphic is sooo damn clear *sigh* but then I still have Play Station and Xbox at home...
Eh I've written down so many brand, so will I get endorsement huh? *as usual*
Ritual 2
Among most of school my friends, I'm the eldest, even though only by month *blush* but still old is old lah *sebel*, unless from my UNSW time, most of them are older than me *happy* Anyway out of plans, suddenly the 2 of my best friend who are going to get married next week and the following week, the husband to be come to Singapore *happy* as though they have to pay respect to me as the elderly *sigh*, the first one was here last week, sent by the company for training...so I spent some time to accompany him around Singapore lah, I've known him quite sometime, coz he and my best friend always accompany me around when I'm in Jakarta.
The second one, will come this Saturday, with my best friend, nah this one need to be "Plonco" nih.....I haven't met him so far, so you know how is my capability in doing such work huh? I wish it's going to be a good week end for me, but then my japanese exam how? *teteup*
Happy week end everyone....

Finally....

Ladies and gentlemen, girls and boys, I'm proudly announce that finally....I'm grounded Booooo......*yay* ooopsss..has to be *sad* isn't it?
Yupe I'm sick, after seeing a doctor yesterday with all kinds of complaints which link one and another, final conclusion, because of stress, my body resistance is low, so I catch a flu which develop now *smile*
Now I feel,very tired, dizzy, sneezing all the time, running nose (which make me looks like kampong kids *devil smile*). Even in this pigeon hole (that's how I called HDB flat though *smile*), walking from living room to my bed room, I feel very longggg and winding roaddddd... *nyanyi padahal got sore throat*
I think better fall sick lah, other than I have to suffer all the time, at least by being sick, I'll be clearing the virus and toxin after I recovered, isn't it? Hopefully will not be suffering from all those draggy things, like the Indonesian saying," Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang" *ngelirik Bunda Shafiya*
And suddenly I miss that long drive, from city to Parramatta, taking Anzac Bridge, and drive all the way....eh..protest it's not allowed, yeah I know it's a stupid way to reach Parramatta by taking that way, but I swear by the moon and the star in the sky *nyanyi lagi* all those scenic drive, is wroth to drive for *copy cat Robinson sale ads*
park the car in Parramatta mall, then walk towards city hall, buy Hungry Jack (in here is Burger King lah..yeah junk food, but don't care), sitting in the city hall square, had lunch and people watching, then continue to walk inside Parramatta Park, day dreaming all the way, it's soooo perfect and romantic in Sydney weather now....ehhh Agnes you can do it what, I suspect Agnes will do this after work *nuduh* hehehhehehheh....eh today late night shopping yah...so Agnes will walk in Parramatta Mall instead for sure lah *yakin*
Good news last nite, there were a mock up listening test for the Japanese class, so far I'm doing good lah, can pass...and my pray for this exam is not very high, I realised as I'm getting old, there are a lot of things has changed, so pass can already lah *smile*

Jrenggg....

It's 30th May *sigh*
Japanese Class exam next week, my mind is bloody blank *fainted*
My gigs 2 more week (I suspect next week will be a gigs also *parno*), no confidence to sing in front of lotsa people, coz usually I sing facing the wall *smile*
Started to have nightmare everynight, sleep quite early, but couldn't wake up, by the time I wake up, feel very tired, every day *sigh*
Migraine is my best friend now *smile*
Oh My God, scream to the top of my lung, what's going on? *Nyanyi*

Yogya

My deep condolescence for my country for the earthquakes that happened on Saturday.
I read from the newspaper some of the "candi" are badly damage. What a disaster *shocked*, I still haven't completed all my list in Yogya during my previous stay *regret*
Actually I was planning to go Yogya to see "Ramayana Epic Dance" these next few months *sigh*, now Prambanan even suffers a damage *sigh*
Hopefully, everything is gonna be allright in Yogya lah ya...

Lost In Translation (Part 2)

See the photo above? 2 girls wearing traditional clothes of Northern Thailand. The story happened when I was in Chiang Rai. I got down from the car, and the 2 girls approached me and saying something sounds like a rhyme in their language.
of course I couldn't understand what they were saying, but I assumed, they were quoting a poet for getting some money from me. But then when the tour guide spoke to me in English, the girls changed her rhyme to English as well.

Two person, take photo
Five Bahts only, Ok?

So actually they wanted us to pay them 5 bahts for taking photo with them or just take their photo...hmmm quite innovative...Sadly speaking I didn't try to maximise my 5 bahts when I took their photo *regret* coz I know that they have a lot of opportunity around, as a lot of tourists down there, I just felt unfair if I took a long time just only for 5 baths *it's very me*
So if on week end you saw me and my partner in crime, wearing sarong and kebaya (which is so called Singapore's traditional clothes), hanging around Merlion or Esplanade, and saying the same rhyme, you know who's my inspiration, huh?
Have a nice week end everyone...

New Staff

Finally my receptionist girl has gone away, she quit the job last week *lega*
I couldn't find out the exact reason, coz one time she said that it's too tired for her to travel back and forth to Johor everyday, but another day she said that she will try to help the younger sister to find a job in Singapore *bingunk*
Anyway, just imagine the last frustation that i got from her when I was in Japan. I needed her to access my email account and print something out, but she even couldn't access my email account *fainted* Luckily my delivery driver was around, so I asked my delivery driver to do instead *pasrah*
So now, meanwhile the position vacuum, I get my cousin (I have Singaporean cousin though..) to replace her, so far so good, at least with my cousin around, I speak Chinese better now, and I'm happier when I'm in the office, coz you know, how young people like to fool around, but I don't mind, as longas she do her job well.
The jokes is, she was afraid to be alone inside the office, so she asked my permission to get her sister to accompany her in the office *sigh*, I don't mind though, so they're sharing the salary....
I feel like it's great singapore sale in my office, buy 1 get 1 free ...waakkakakakka....

Someday I'll Fly Away

When I was young, I thought that I'll be immortal, people die, because they're old, but when I grew older I learn that everybody will die one day...inclusive me...
These past few years, lotsa deaths of people that I know, if the people who passed away is about my grandma levels it's still okay, but then my dad started to lose some of his siblings *sigh* the latest shocking news is one of my dad's distance cousin, which quite close to our family, die suddenly in his sleep...well..someday we all will fly way

Tired

Since I came back from the last trip, I've been feeling tired day in day out, is it holiday blues? lazy? too much holiday? *gak mungkin*
or my body has telling me it's time to move out from Singapore? *grinned*

Lost In Translation

I believe most of you ever receive jokes about Japanese English through emails. I didn't really observe all those grammar mistakes when I was in Tokyo though, but this one is the only one that is quite obvious to me, see the photo above, rinse? weleh...do they mean conditioner instead of rinse? *smile*
As you know I'm taking Japanese class, and I can ask questions, but by the time they provided me with the answer, I really lost in translation. so if I asked for direction or place I tried to point the map as I was afraid I would mispronounce the wrods, I also have to observe their body language when they answered. But then, when I called one of my friend who's married to Japanese and stayed there for ages *ngelirik ci kim*, I was so confidently spoke Japanese to her son, as I was expecting she was at home at that time, and the answer should had been,"Hai, cioto mate kudasai". (=yes, please wait a moment)
To my surprise, her sons blabbering a lots of Japanese sentences, which I believed the meaning is about the mother is not available to answer my phone...but with a very high fighting spirits, I just tried my luck to speak English..luckily they can speak English very well, yupe, the mother is not around *sigh*
Really lost in translation....
Have a good week end everyone

Kiasu

Last nite I was at GG<5 (1 of the fashion shop in here), Wisma Atria, quite a lot of people there. When I was browsin thru all the clothing, suddenly 1 girl, holding a stack of clothings approached the staff, and said," Excuse me, Are these clothings going to be on sale during the Great Singapore Sale next week?"
Jreng.....so kiasu and shameless or not? Why don't she just wait until next week and see whether those clothes will be on sale or not? *sigh*

Competitive Edge

Still remember my office's neighbour, the one who always feels they are the eldest brother and the richest in the world? That couple, auntie and uncle, where the uncle is very stack up meanwhile the auntie is very chatty but busy body and proud of her self (you know that type of look lah, friendly but proud of her self)?
Nah....after that camera outside my door, of course, I tried my best to pose in front of it, pretending I were trying hard to open my door, but actually I just wanna let the uncle or the wife has a good look of how do I dress my self up *muka jail*
According to trustworthy source, now the auntie, dressed up exactly like me, remember before hand I was so into street wears, and she also copied me, a few months back I changed my dressing again and she imitated me again *rolled eyes* I just don't understand how could she get the size from mango and zara...and now I'm more into polo shirt and khaki pants, I wanna seee how fast can she pick it up *evil smile*
Then last week, I just bought 1 set of golf club, and I purposedly brought it down to my office (actually I don't intend to keep it at home lah, take too much space), just in time the uncle was outside and kept on staring at my golf bag *happy*
The latest news is, they changed their car to mercedes benz *jreng* just because I changed my car a few months back (they had changed their car twice before I got my current car), which at that time I was pretty sure they will change the car pretty soon, now my expectation came true...wakakakkakakak....
Should I buy another flashy week end car then? *wicked smile*
It's very competitive down here, isn't it? wakakakakaka....
Ohhh how I looooveeeee this game *NBA action*

The Navigator

Hi all, I'm back. Sorry for the delay for Chiang Mai photo, based on my schedule, I should have been uploaded them in the last posting before my trip, but due to heavy work load *cailah...* I couldn't make it on time. I just landed early this morning about 1.30 a.m. from Tokyo, I departed on time, but yet, the traffic in Narita Airport was bloody busy last nite, and there were an aeroplane massive traffic jam. When my flight took off, I was counting, there were 10 planes behind mine *shocked* It's realy a massive traffic jam, isn't it?
Now here I am, back to my sweet office *muntah darah* facing all the things again with a very bad migraine...it's just like a dream *sigh*
I bought free and easy (just ticket and hotel), and as usual I travel like Amazing Race *nyengir*. I was leaving Singapore on Wednesday around midnite, and arriving in Tokyo very early in the morning, checked in to the hotel and started to explore around after that with the phone kept on ringing all day long, talking about works *sigh*

The picture above is the Tokyo's Train Map, confusing, isn't it? Looks like all strangled together *grinned* But being voted as the living yellow pages (now already retired from this job due to insufficient memory because of ageing*blush*), the loyalIndonesian Ambassador in every country I am in, next in line of Director Singapore Tourism Board and the best ever GPS live system by all my friends. Of course that map is not a big problem at all, only on second day, I'm having a bit of brain error, so about 2 times, I went to the wrong platform *blush*
When I visited Taipei last year, I was saying,"OMG they have a lotsa of lines and it's quite troublesome when you have to change train, also the walking distance from the exit quite far".
But then when I was in Shanghai last year as well, the distance is even further than Taipei, and now in Japan, with strangled train lines, and the distance is really a killer, no wonder Japanese have a sexy leg *sigh*
Anyway, even though I'm still in my Japanese classes, my Japanese speaking ability still not far from about 15 years ago, when my dad importing goods from Japan, and that Japanese uncle was staying in Jakarta for 6 months (3 months in the hotel and he decided to moved in to my house for the rest of his stay). But of course better lah, I could ask some complete questions, but when they started to talk to me in Japanese, I was lost in translation *kayak pelem* wakakakaka.....
So mostly I was communicating with my limited Japanese survival ability, helped by sign language and some Japanese style English *nyengir*
Allrighty...I guess I sign off now, and wait for another update about Japan...

Ill Feel

Starting from from the flight back to Singapore from Chiang Mai last trip, I feel very ill of coming back to Singapore. Especially when I came back to do my daily activities *sigh* I don't have an ill feel towards my clients luckily, but towards other people,especially those who acted kiasu-ly, even to the extend when I go to the toilet and I heard a group of girls or aunties, speaking Singlish (even though I also speak singlish fluently *nyengir*), I'll start to have this feelings *sigh*
Anyway last week, when I was having lunch @ Dome, Paragon, it was full of bling - bling tai tai, which wore branded from top to toe, and the ring is oh so huge, until I thought is that real diamond or glass...but then as I watched their behaviours, OMG very minus. One table, she was about to pay, and she's holding a Dome card, which you could redeem for something, but then because of some promotion or what, she couldn't use the card, ans she started to lose her temper at the waitress *jibang* come on lah, she's so bloody rich, it's only over how many dollars only, might be less then 50 dollars, but she insisted about it *sigh*
There is another table, auntie and the son, they didn't seem ordering food, their table were quite clean except the drinks during my stay there, and they walked out for quite sometimes, the table had been cleaned, then somebody else seated on their table, then that auntie came back, and told the person,"Sorry, this table is mine..."
OMG *again* there are plenty of empty table around there, why she should insisted of having that table *puzzled* May be if you were rich, you gotta behave that way?
And then yesterday I was in the embassy, just stepped out my foot out of the car, and then suddenly saw that uncle running after parking his motorbike, just to have a number 1 ahead of me? *shocked* OMG, is Singapore so competitive until 1 queue number also become so bloody important? *sigh*
Well, that's life in here, so after feeling ill for about a week or so, let me have another joyfull moment ya....I'll be dissapeared again to Timbuktu, It's a plaaaaaayyyyyy time *like NBA*
Well, have a nice long week end everyone, happy Vesak day for you who celebrate, I'll be back next week *hugs*
Sorry though haven't blogwalk to all of you....

Wadoh Udah Bulan Mei Cink

Finally, I land and glue back to my beloved office chair...it's not because of long holiday though, but just lotsa things that I have to do outside the office as well (of course inclusive hanging out in the cafe and window shopping during office hours) *grin*
Anyway back to my work, I was quite surprise it's May...wow ime flies...1 more month to go for my gigs in Bali *sigh* and I haven't made up my mind of which song should I sing...I'm trying my best to escape from my duty, but everybody (I mean my gank...) already reminding me from email, and the bride to be had talked to me directly over the phone *sigh*
Could you imagine, it's the private party, where all my gank's member would be there (all of them are very wilds and louds, except me, yes, my face always turn red when I'm out with them, because of their noise) cheering me during my performance, and it's also a private party, which would be attended by the family (I'm very famous amongs the brides family member though, the whole extended family knows me quite well, from grandma to aunties *sigh*) and of course her father and her business relations which will fly from Jakarta, Singapore and may be France...
Some more it will be a 4 pieces string orchestra *jiper* With the string orchestra, nothing could help your voice, it's easier sing with the band, so your voice would not be exposed directly, duh what choice do I have then?
Oh my God, it will be a Dead or Alive event, I might be thrown away from the cliff if I sung badly (the party would be in Uluwatu, it's a very scary cliff man....), or I might be offered a contract to produce the album *pe de abies* if I sung well...
Anybody wanna replace me puhleaseeeee??? Or should I do lipsync? weleh kayak millie vanilli donks...wakakkakakkaka...gak mutu amat seehhhh..hare geneeehh? lipsync?
Oh ya don't forget to watch Singapore Idol on 22 May yaa... (will I get endorsement or not ar?)

Alice in Wonderland

Well, that's Alice, but too bad my name is not Alice, but Flona.
Since a long time ago I have started to wish that some days I'd woken up to find that it's only a nightmare *sigh*
But right up to now every day I wake up, the reality is geting worse *sigh*
Anyway.. have a nice week end everyone...

The Sign

I'm not talking about the movie though *nyengir*
I've been wondering for these past few weeks, every monday and wednesday, the sky is always dark...as though the world feel sad for me...
Yupe my Japanese class, getting harder and out of controls...
I've never expected there are so many particle inside depends on the verb *sigh* and as getting older the brain not really working that well *sigh again*
So should I say,"I saw the sign..." *nyanyi*

Tuk Tuk

Weleh udah pada nagih poto *takut*
When I was in Bangkok, I was also afraid to take Tuk Tuk, just like Shierly *grin* There are 2 things that I consider:
1. Tuk Tuk driver in Bangkok drives crazily with a full speed (just like the Visa advertisement, may be because of that kali ya...that's why Tuk tuk is used for the ads *grin*)
2. Bangkok is quite similar with Jakarta, I just imagined, what if when the traffic light turned red and the Tuk tuk had to stop a the traffic junction, suddenlt the robber came and robbed me, just like Jakarta? *parno*
But anyway when I was in Bangkok I felt that the safety level is much more better than Jakarta, but still, I don't like to take Tuk Tuk in Bangkok, the speed itu loh...even though I love to speed but I'm the one who take control, but with Tuk tuk, the steering is on the "abang" hand lah yauuuu....*seyem*
In Chiang Mai, there are 2 oopps... later on I found out there 3 public transport, Tuk Tuk, and red car, I forgot what the name, it like combination of bemo and mikrolet in jakarta, so the seating arrangement is facing each other, but the door is at the back...ahh like "oplet" (nah loh if you don't know oplet, that's means either you're not Indonesian or you are Indonesian but not enough age to reach my blog *wicked smile*), but the car is a covered utes type (if you don't know utes...I also don't know what to explain...*sigh* itu loh tipenya mobil box bangsanya Chevrolet, Datsun, tapi pake cover kaya bemo turun di belakang deh *pasrah*)
Anyway when I arrived at the airport, waiting for the car that supposed to pick me up, I was amazed, seeing, some people even take tuk tuk to the airport, and also that red car (first i tought may be the family member of thw owner wanna go to the airport, but actually no)
So I ended up taking Tuk Tuk when I went around the Chiang Mai city, and then 1 nite, I found the handsome, intelligent, educated, speak very good english and very kind tuk tuk driver *mata ijo* He asked me where had I been so far, so I told him and he asked when I'm going to leave...but so far almost everything covered, so I couldn't have any excuse to book him, even though he put his handphone number in his tuk tuk *nyesel* wakakkkaka...He asked me how was Chiang Mai. I said,"It's a very beautiful city with a warm and kind people.
He answered,"Basically every where is the same, there are 2 types of people, the good one and the bad one, just happened in Chiang Mai has more good people than bad people."
Wow...so philosophical huh? weleh, cakep, macho, baik, bijaksana, pinter ... very perfect, huh? *mata ijo lagi* It's just too good to be true *nyanyi* May be he's a gay? *suspicious* wakakkakaka....
Want to move to Singapore or not Bang? *nyengir* Or should I move to Chiang Mai huh? *evil smile*
PS: Warning, don't rush to go to Chiang Mai just simply because of my story of Tuk Tuk driver ya...that one is only one in million Tuk Tuk driver lah ya (eh ada 1 million Tuk tuk driver gag ya? *muka polos*) Ntar gue disalahin lagi...mending kalo gue dapet endorsement dari Thai tourism authority..kalo kaga kan rugi bandar wakakakkaka....

I'm back *sad*

Here I am back to Singapore again *sad*
I don't know why, this time, when the aeroplane touched down at Changi Airport, I feel terribly sad...
Anyway I went to Chiang Mai, based on my opinion, it's a bit messy but the temples are beautiful, I even went to Chiang Rai to see Long Neck Village and Golden Triangle (border of Thailand with Laos and Myanmar).
The people are very friendly, warm and polite in Chiang Mai, better than those in Bangkok (big city lah..), or Phuket (contaminated with money from tourist already I guess).
The girls are quite pretty and the boys are quite handsome, now I do understand if people said Thai people are pretty and handsome *mata ijo*
I don't know why during my stay there, every where I went, everybody speak to me in Thai Language, but when I was in Bangkok, not so much incident like this...or may be I'm as pretty as northern Thailand people yak? *pe de abies* wakakkakaka.....
The food was very fantastic and cheap, till I got gastric problems (what you expect when everyday had to eat spicy and sour food) which of course lead to panick attack *innocent face*
Now I just landed, and went straight to the office Joooo *sedih*
Back to life back to reality....*nyanyi*
