After a very long nag towards my hair dresser (since victoria beckham cut her hair bob), finally last thursday my wish is granted *grinned*
I have a new hair do *happy*
Do you wanna know how do i look like?
See the picture attached, minus the purple back pack
Last Friday after I finished my shower I saw 4 misscalled in my handphone, normally I didn't bother to call back all the miss call, unless i recognized the number.
But this time, I called back, but when I asked what company is that, the other recipient asked me back who i was. I was confused, I had so many identity, me as a proffesional worker, me as a friend, me as a family, so finally the other party gave up, he said, may be he got the wromg number.
Not long after that the same number called again, and I recognized the voice as my dad's Singaporean cousin, she said, that her other cousin (which also my dad's cousin) had passed away on Thursdays night, I was in shocked, I only asked how did it happened, she said it was a heart attack.
Being shocked, I didn't ask further question, and just hung up the phone, and ran into my mom to break the news, my mom was in the state of shock also, she was worry for my dad's auntie, which is old and frail.
Finally we went to the wake on Saturday night, my grandauntie was calm as she had been counselled by her pastor, my auntie (the deceased sister) was calm), the 3 children was calm but the eyes were red. But his wife couldn't hold her tears as she saw me. As she has known me for ages, since I was still primary school. They were still dating at that time. As I hugged her she broke down and spoke in mandarin saying that there would be no more uncle to see when I come down to visit them. Well I just didn't know what to say, I just hugged her tightly.
My dad insisted me to go for the funeral on Sunday. Everybody couldn't hold back their tears, he is only 47 years old *sigh* And it was really sad, during the funeral for Chinese in here, they normally play some songs that the deceased like during his lifetime, and the band only play 1 song. And that song also was not played very well. It makes sense because they only have old song repertoire, so this showed that the deceased is quite young. I can't control my tears anymore during this song :(
Well...I am not that close to my uncle, he is a very shy and quiet man, but with a hot blood. His passion is cars, especially those fast cars, and he likes to speed. He is the reason why I come clean to my parents regarding my new toys, I just don't want to create trouble if this uncle see me driving my car, and talk to my parents, without my parents knowing that I own the car.
But too bad I haven't had a chance to show my car to him. Good bye uncle, Rest In Peace.
Remember the story that my office neighbour installed a CCTV just right in front of my door? Which my verdict is because the auntie, just wanted to learn how to be as trendy as me * pe de mode on*
Anyway yesterday, I arrived at the office during the office during lunch time. The Office was locked as my colleagues were downstairs buying foor for me, and unfortunately, I don't have office key
I tried to call one of my colleagues, with hope that they brought along their handphone with them. Just when I browsed around (read as: jelalatan), I saw that the camera light kept on blinking.
When the phone connected I spoke panickly to my colleagues," Eh can you faster a bit, because I don't know this camera can zoom how many time, and I was in a rush this morning and I didn't put on any make up. Gosh the auntie would be able to see my pimple if she zoomed in. But luckily I managed to put on the eye mask last night"
Still....my vanity is working well ya....
Morale of story: Don't be lazy to put on make up, just in case you were trapped in this type of situation just like me...
There are 2 things that I wanted to say in my posting regarding Hari Kebangkitan Nasional.
Let me start with the bad news first, my deep sympathy with regards the accident that cost Sophan Sophian lost his life during the convoy to commemorate the 100th National Awakening Day. He's one of my favourite actors and I believe the whole Indonesia also mourn over this incidents. Even though this accident happened partly because of his faults, but anyway I respect him for his love for Indonesia,
Secondly, which is a very good news from my friends Yohan Handoyo, who has made Indonesia proud to have him as he has won the best wine education book in the world. I hope there would be a lot more people who could make Indonesia proud again for some achievement in the world.
With this posting I would like to congratulate my friend, Yohan, and I am very proud of him, when he told me that his book made it to the last round. I had so much faith that he's gonna win the first prize...well he did it...Well done Cak Yo...So after all those moments of getting drunk ....finally you see the light at the end of the tunnel....Long live Drunken Master
Lastly would like to wish you all Happy National Awakening Day, I hope that with this 100 years celebration, all of us would love Indonesia deeper
Do you remember during our kindergarden time, there is Origami Subject? In Indonesia we called it "Pelajaran Melipat"
I always wonder, why we should learn it in our life, until last week. I was suddenly having a bad stomach ache, and needed to go to toilet very urgently. I ran to the toilet, and didn't bother to choose the cubicle properly. Then sat down, and did my business.
Finished, I pulled the tissue, it was only 1 short piece, I thought, normally there would be another continuation of another roll of tissue...I inserted my hand to the tissue dispenser, tried to find out some more tissue, and to my horror, that one was the last tissue that I had to use to clean up *sigh*
I tried to calm my self down, seeing that small piece of tissue on my hand, suddenly reminded me of the Korean Drama "My Lovely Samsoon". Did you remember, when the boss was stranded in the cubicle next to hers without tissue paper, and what her suggestion to the boss? *tepok jidat*
Nah....after a short meditation, I decided to implied the origami lesson that I've learned in the kindergarden to the tissue. So I tried to make the full use of that piece of small tissue, folded it as many as I could so I could use it as many as I could to clean my self also.
So moral of the story: whatever lesson that you ever learned in school, no matter how stupid you think that subject is, surely will come handy for you life survival one day...
Saturday Night, 11.43 PM, Singapore time, I am still in the office in front of the PC, doing my work. That's how hard living in Singapore....
Even though my brai has been jammed since a few hours ago, felt tired, but yet don't have the urge to go home and sleep.
Being a coward in the earlier part when I came back to the office, I logged onto online Radio, and blasted as loud as possible....but now, being brain jammed, heck care what ever I am going to see, what ever I am going to find, I don't really care anymore....
Well...that's just a slice story of my hard life in other people's country in the name of money...
Long live money.....
Yesterday, after I bought petrol and started my car, the radio was playing Michael Jackson songs, Black or White....
I was humming, until one part, I stopped humming and was confused....how come I heard "Kuaci" in the song? *gubraks*
I wanted to replay, but realised it was a radio station, til now, I was still curious about that part, and I don't have the cd *sigh*
Well, may be i need tuning....It must be you me that has been out of tune..
Being bored, I begin to play online game again, the same game that is always played by my colleague. But yet being not play it for such a long time, my record had been broken by my colleague.
Out of creativity, I told my colleagues,"Cik, selama ini gue gak pernah memerintah elo dengan posisi gue sebagai atasan lo kan ya? Jadi kali ini boleh gak gue menyalahgunakan jabatan gue sebagai atasan elo, dan gue minta elo jangan maen JT Blocks selama sebulan, biar record elo keapus, dan recod gue jadi paling tinggi?"
Am I wrong? I am the boss
There are a lots of advantages for having a few Indonesian Colleagues in the office.
One of them is we could have a party just like featured in the picture on the left.
Yes, we are having rujak party...May be it's only a small things for you who lives in Indonesia. But for us, who works "demi sebakul nasi dan sesendok berlian", this moment is a very damn precious moment, which rarely happened.
It's only could be happened if we voluntarily do some good deeds towards each other, in the name of satisfying our cravings while working very hard to earn some money in foreign land *caelah bahasanya bowwwww*
Flona melaporkan langsung dari tempat kejadian :)
NB: Apapun makanannya Tissuenya tetep "PASEO" bow....for the owner of PASEO, pleaskindly endorse me for quoting your product in my blog *matre mode on*
I always been enchanted by all the Australia Advertisement or Qantas Advertisement.
Only the most current one which has aquote "Where the hell are you?" I don't quite like it, but the picture, still amazing....
13No 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.
These bible verse has been always with me for quite long. Am I asking too much from God? Do I challenge God when I quote this verse?
The song "Pelangi Kasih" had been automatically sung hundreds times inside my mind, but until now I am still asking the same question. I still can't understand anything...
May be I am not humble in the eyes of God, may be I have never really surrender my whole life and thrust my life fully in God's Hand...
As I am writing this post, I am playing "Mujizat Itu Nyata" by Joy Tobing in repeat mode and my head is very painful as though it's going to explode.
Am I that strong? Am I that stubborn? Am I that proud?
I've never found any solution for my problems, but in fact I am a coward, I always run from all my problems, and I feel I can't run anymore...I am tired, I am exhausted, I am drain and yes I am human.....
One of our client does outsourcing of a few things to our company. And one of the things is we have to provide staffs permanently in their place.
Well these incidents already been happened a few times, whereby we feel that our staffs that are assigned there, lack of good attitude towards our company. They feel that they belongs to our clients instead.
So far it were only a small incidents happened, so we just closed one eyes towards them, but today, it really made me boiled heavily, when I received one email from one of my staff there, written in a damn big font size and some are red in color, and cc to the managers there. And at the end of letter she also wrote "Please avoid this printing error in future."
I was so bloody pissed off with my staff behaviour, I called her up, and asked her," I am sorry that I made mistakes, but allow me to asked a question, who are you working for? My company or that company? How could you send me that kind of email and cc to the managers there? Why don't you just picked up a phone and informed me that I made mistakes instead?
When I called her, she didn't even say sorry to me, she only kept quiet and only said,"Oh".
I admit I made mistakes, but remembering she is working for me, do you think that it is ethical to do that? Is she my boss? Is she tired of living? *boiling*
Belom tau dia siapa gue...don't try to wake the tiger when the tiger is sleeping lah...
My mom *sigh*, my domestic helper, her name is thin thin (read as :tin tin), when my mom called, become sundanese name "Titin" *gubraks*
Since she came, I only had a chance to have my mum's cooking on week end, because I was so busy with business lunch and dinner, or farewell dinner for friends, meeting up with friends or birthday etc. And I was over eating. Can you imagine, me who is not a dessert person, had to gulp down the whole chocolate cake for the sake of business *wiping my sweat*
As the result I always ended up wanted to thrrow up every night after dinner...not that I am suffering from anorexia though...but in business it's just not nice to say no when everybody are having dessert *sigh*
Anyway I thought that week end I could detox by having my mom's cuisine, to my surprise, most of the dishes that my mom cooked (sorry) contained fatty pork *pucet*
OMG has my mom forgotten that I am not really a pork fans...especially the fatty one? *gubraks* so it was toxicated week end instead *sigh*
Anyway happy Chinese New Year for you who celebrate, don't forget to send "Hong Bao" to me ya....need my bank account? send me email, I'll give you my account ;P
This morning had an early appointment at 10. It's pretty unusual for me to leave around this time *grinned*
Anyway as I've made a confession to my parents about the car, my mum sent me to the carpark this morning. I saw 1 suspicious car parked in the lot behind the lifts.
To my surprise they were in action ladies and gentleman *gubraks* Luckily my mom didn't see it, or else she will have a heart attack and ask me to move out from that place *sigh*
Of course I did call a police to lodge in a complaint *sigh* OMG not even 10 am, they did it in the open *still shocked* where does the moral go to these days? I think I need to buy 7 types of flower and wash my self with it, going to CNY man *sigh*
If my eyes happened to be swollen again, I'd sue them *sigh*
A bit late ya....but better late than never *nyari alesan*
I want to express my deep condolescence for the family of the late Bapak Soeharto...Bapak Pembangunan Indonesia.
May he rest in peace, and may the famile is strengthen by his departure.
I can't describe my feelings exactly towards him, but without him Indonesia, would not be what it is now...may be the best feeling to describe is "When love and hate collides"
Last night when doing my manicure and pedicure, I felt down inside the shop. I think because it was very slippery and my mind was on something else, the fall effect was bad enough, even though I could managed the pain, but when IK tried to stand up, and I did, suddenly I felt like I was going to faint, so I ask the girl whether they have candies or sugar water or what so ever, meanwhile I came back to my chair to stabilise my self *sigh* Never been like this before....UI thought today i wouldn't be able to walk as my knee is swallen very badly, even i thought i might die during my sleep *parno*
Anyway I still managed to wake up this morning, with stiff neck and a sore arm right til now *sigh* But when i was making my breakfast this morning, i took up my favourite cup (a gift from 1 of my best friend last Christmas) from the cupboard, i put on the kitchen top then I reached the top cabinet to take my tea, suddenly the cup which ic quite heavy felt down and broke into pieces. I felt onto my foot first before hitting the floor, and my foot was bleeding...
OMG what's happening to me? *deep sigh*
Happy week end everyone
OMG, I was trying to get a ticket to Perth for Chinese New Year holiday with my parents, I checked early January, there were plenty timing available. Since my workloads is really incredibly hard to predict, it made me not really keen to book the ticket early *sigh*
2 days ago I started to check the ticket, as usual of course no more ticket available *sigh* But then I was dare enough to check for the Business class seat. It is still available, even up to a few minutes ago when I thought I'll redeem my milleage for my parents, meanwhile paying a full price for mine *deep sigh*
I also thought it would be saver to redeem for my parents first before buy my one, anyway at the end of the day money speaks louder than milleage, doesn't it?
When I booked my parents seats, I still saw a few seats available, but to my suprise when I go to purchase my ticket, the system said there is no more seats available *panick* I'm holding on to the phone right now trying to reach the customer service hotline, but they haven't picked up my line until now...
OMG what should I do...they don't even have any special dedicated line for the business class? I remember they did before *ngelap keringet*
It's the final count down *singing*
My parents are coming this Saturday, it's about 48 hours more *sigh* I've been trying to crack my head how to solve my storage problems *deep sigh*
Imagine my stuffs has occupied Thin Thin's (my domestic helper, not really new, has bee with me for a year) wardrobe, and also my parents's room wardrobe *blush* I've been wondering also how come within a year my wardrobe grow so rapidly *garuk2 kepala* Am I so stress? (you know the correlation between women in stress and shopping lah...). I didn't feel last year I spent so much in shopping though. Even my shopaholic best friend still can accomodate her belongings in her wardrobe that she shares with her husband *bingung*
How how dong? *panick* or just convert my parents room to my walk in wardrobe? Sounds good, doesn't it?
Or make a walk in wardrobe in the office? No no...doesn't sound that good...
How how?
Several days ago when I was browsing around in Supermarket, I was quite excited to find fortune cookies here, as it is my first time finding it in Singapore, where by me and my flatmate used to buy when I was still in Sydney.
I bought 1 box of it. Just now I suggested to my colleagues to open it up, and distributed to all of us in the office, inclusive those in the production floor. Being given 1 cookie by my colleague, I protested, I said,"Its not fair, that means you choose my fortune.."
She gave up, took back my cookie and put back in the box, so I picked the other one, but I have no fortune *sedih* no paper inside *dissapointed*
If only I took what she gave me *regret*
So there were a chaotic moments during the fortune cookies time, one of them even said,"Is it lucky draw? The prize is ma'am's car? *gubraks*
Remember my spoilt brat cousin? She's 17 years old. Lucky Yesterday she celebrated her sweet 17 party, but I didn't bother to ask where did she celebrate it.
Lucky that she was born on my parents' anniversary date, which I used to remember, but too bad now I have a very bad memory, I can't even remember is my parents' anniversary is today or tomorrow? Oopss sorry mom, sorry Dad....
Anyway I also didn't know that she reached 17, until a few weeks ago my mom told me about that, and asked me what am i going to give *gubraks* Me? Giving her birthday present? Never thought of it in my history, but I do still bought a lots of things for my extended family when they know that I am coming back to Jakarta *nyengir* but most of the time I just keep it private, I just wanted to spend a time with all my precious friend and have fun....not obligation to meet this auntie or that uncle, etc... forgive me for this behaviour....
I've bought the gift, I've bought the card, now I stuck with what should I write inside the card *sigh* any idea?
Or may be should I just write:
"Dear Spoilt Brat, Happy Birthday 17 Birthday, I wish you all the best in your life, may all your wish come true, go to UK to study (please don't go to Trisakti), and graduated with magna cum laude, and got your PhD (I only got master degree though) , and achieve your life much much better than mine (appear in Tatler magazine)."
How does that sounds? Since she always wanted at least to be me or wanted to outperform me....remember the LIA incident? the junior high school exam result incident? and not forgetting about the UK univesity incident? *grinned*
Anyway happy anniverysary mom and dad...either today or tomorrow lah...what a different does 1 day make? *nyari kambing item*
I used to wonder why a few months back, I always met police patrol car in my car park building...I though that the police just wanted to see me, so they always circle around in the car park around the time I normally left my house *narciss mode on*
But lately I began to realise that quite often people use the carpark for a quickie during lunch time *gubraks* as I always park in the upper deck whereby not many people park in that level, and practically my home is the nearest to the city and the car park is quite enough to be a place for a afternoon quickie get away with a fling...
So I am quite fed up with this things going around in my place, like just now I just called the police station and tell them that I am very uncomfortable with what's going on in the car park especially it is quite near my car....I asked them to frequently patrol the carpark, especially during lunch time...
Why can't people go to the hotel if they want to do something...why have to be in the carpark, especially my carp ark *sigh*
Last night the news kept on flashing about our former preseident Soeharto which is in critical condition. They also show the picture of him being carried around with a lot of machine attached to him. I feel sorry and sympathy for him
But I just can't understand with the lead doctor who became the spokesman to the TV, why he still kept on insisting saying that,"Pak Harto is attached to the breathe support machine and is on highly sedated conditon".
Why can't he just simple said,"He is in a very critical condition and depends on the life supporting machine?"
*sigh* my fellowcountrymen...why you have to choose words when you have already had no choice to hide something from the public? It won't hurt to admit something though...
but anyway Pak Harto...what ever would happened to you, I believe it is God will....for the family be strong ya...I also feel sad to see him in this condition....
Have a nice week end everybody...
Not that I've changed my surname to Wong....so I'm related to Wong Fei Hung or other Wong heroes *grinned* My surname still the same and proud of it *narciss mode on*
Just wanna share the story about my office...especially in the toilet...everytime i go in I can feel something not right...especially at night after office hour...but sometime...when I am too tired because of my workload...I just don't care...walked into the toilet and stay there as long as I need too....
I don't even care about feeling scared or who will i meet or what will i see anymore....I don't care.....
Have a good week end everyone...
The day before yesterday (digest your self when yaaaa... :P), I was having a a quite bad mood, so i called my friend to have lunch together *ngelirik to somebody who's reading this blog* We had a good time, gossiping, updating with the current issues...you know...even though the time is quite limited, but I enjoyed his company a lot.. thanks for your lunch though *hugs* (those who didn't have lunch with me that day don't be GE ER yaaaa...)
Still feeling not right, didn't have any appetite to go back to the office, and knowing that I had another appointment around 4 pm in the city, so I decided to cool my head down in shopping center...
But it was a terrible decision though...I went to Raffles City, to check out the latest changes that they did to the mall, tried a few dresses, I knew I lost weight, and most of my clothings are loose, but to my dissapointment, even I tried the same number as what I used to wear before, it is still tight on me *sigh* Is the size chart getting smaller or what ya? *garuk2 kepala*
Even worse, I ended up in Robinsons Department Store...which I don't really like to be in it, frankly speaking, but the one in Raffles City is not that bad though...for women clothing, they are quite up to date. Anyway I was browsing around...and suddenly heard the sounds of that type of "trying to be cute voice" of Singaporean tai tai, saying,"Oh look..how this dress is really so sweeetttt you know..." *mau muntah*
Hearing their voice and seeing the sight of them, suddenly my desire to shop dissapeared...well...see from the bright side...I didn't splurge in shopping because of that...next time i think i'd better hanging out in orchard *sigh*
Today practically is the first official day of 2008 of works...remembering the 1st was fallen on middle of last week, so I believe that many people took the opportunity to take a long week end during that period.
It's quite frustating, starting with the crazy traffic to the office. I was not able to shift lane after I joined the highway, as all the bloody big trucks didn't want to give way to me, and this is the very first time in my life....
Continued with the normal short tempered Singaporean, I am used to drive quite slow in the car park, because anyway it's a carpark....no point to speed in the car park, anytime people might just walk out from somewhere and also cars...but you know...a lots of Singaporean like to speed off in the car park... and even for a short distance also they tried to over take me always for sure...and this bloody uncle over took me by taking the other one way lane...I was not pissed off..but I was pissed off when he took my normal parking space....*sigh* minta dikempesin bannye kali yak? ato dibaret mobilnya pake kawat berduri? Belom tau dia siapa guwe....mantan anak Trisakti boww...
And I circled around the car park in my office block, surprisingly it is very full...*sigh*
What happened nahhh? *thai accent*
Dear Mike,
I just came back from Sydney, but I feel that there is something missing, it was you. I've tried my best not to pass Surry Hills Area, regardless people said that I should go to Kylie Kwong Restaurant or Bill's Restaurant down there.
I couldn't bring my self to see the rubbish bin there. I tried as much as I could to erase that picture inside my minds about your body being found inside the rubbish bin at Surry Hills a few years back...
I'd tried my best not going to pub or bottle shop at all during my stays there, but I couldn't avoid seeing those midori bottles in the duty free shop *sigh*
The Planet Hollywood still there Mike, but they've changed the name to something else, and also the cinema across the road still there *sigh* Everything I saw there, reminded me of all the memories that we have with all of our friends there...but yet you were not there...
Mike...where ever you are, we all still miss you....Rest In Peace, Mike...
Have a great week end every one....
I thought I would definitely not going to make it up to year 2008. But here I am in front of my beloved laptop, updating my blog on the first day of 2008.
Last year had been really bad for me, and I really don't know what tomorrow will hold...I don't have any new year resolution at all.
I just wish it's all only a bad dream, and someday I would be woken up from this nightmare....someday..somehow...if miracle do happened...
Happy New Year everyone....wishing you a very bright and succesfull year ahead.
Yeah I'm in another Timbuktu...where by Mrs Macquarie has a chair in one point, and of course I always ask her permission to share her chair with me, as it has a very beautiful view of Sydney Opera House with a Harbour Bridge background.
It's the place where I always try to calm my mind, get some inspirations (but so far nothing came by *sigh*). The place where I used to go with my flatmates in the nights, disturbing people who you know what they do in the dark quiet place inside the car in the darkness of the night...
Well... my first day I was staying at Holiday Inn Darling Harbour, location wise, no complaint, quite convenient, easy to go everywhere....but all the room has no view...here is the snapshot of the room...
Reason number one Hady Mirza won Asian Idol *teteup*
Number two mu Australian PR rejected
Number three I dropped my fruit juice on my office carpet'
Number four I am still coughing quite badly
Number five because it is monday
*sigh*
Hady Mirza from Singapore won Asian Idol *sigh*
Oh My God....what is happening with the world, are they deaf?
I really can't understand if at the end only the vote that determined the winners, why should they put all the judges there?
I still can't believe.....Hady Mirza *gubraks*
Mike (Indonesian) is bloody damn good, Jac (Malaysian) is very good, Mao (Phillipines) is very good also, if either one fo those three won, I still can accept....But of all hady mirza? *gubraks lagi*
I've been staying late to suppport Mike all the way even though I'm down with bronchitis, now seems getting worse *sigh* and I am really upset and dissapointed with the result....
I can't understand.....
Started from 2 days ago, I've been trying very hard to finish signing my Christmas Card for my clients *sigh*
It was started by my part timer, who wrotes something inside the cards, and infected the whole office to write something inside the cards, instead of normal signaturaes only *deep sigh*
Can you imagine how frustating it is...being not writing for such a long time, don't know what to write..and I end up writing the longest sentence inside the cards, with a very ugly handwriting, accompany by "First Love" by Utada Hikaru *gak matching yak*
Till now, I'm still struggling very hard to finish signing the Christmas Card *sigh*
If translated in English is weak brain...not funny, rite? yeah it's one of Indonesian slank...
One day, I was going into my car while talking over the phone, and I accidentally knocked my phone against the car,and shout," Ouchhhh" Yeah it's the new phone *blush* and forgetting that it's also a new car *blush again*, I quickly examine my handphone, whether I scratched my handphone or not.
I examined my handphone thouroughly, and CC asked me,"What happened and what are you doing?"
I answered,"I knocked my handphone against the car now I tried to check whether my handphone got scratched or not"
CC said,"Are you crazy? You could buy hundreds of your handphone with your car, you should be checking your car, instead of your handphone..."
I stopped examining my handphone and thought about it, then started to walk out of my car and examine my car *sigh* but both are allright
OMG lemotnya dirikuh *blush*
Have a nice week end everyone.....
10.06pm Singapore time, Friday nite,still in the office doing work. While others are having funs, dining, or just "leyeh leyeh" in the cafe or even early bird clubbing, I'm still here *sigh* Received lotsa sms, asking where am i...whether i could join them, what time would i finish my work, why should i be in the office....arggghhh 1001 unanswerable questons *deep sigh*
Anyway just for intermezzo....this things always bugging me up most of the time when I travel to another country. During the hotel check in, as per usual they will ask for my ID card (if I travel to KL I could use my Singapore ID though) or passport. Then they will take out the reservation document, and keep on staring at me over and over again, just simply because I don't know why most of the time they've already prepared a special welcome letter for me (which til now I couldn't understand, am I that special? *garuk2 kepala*).
And in the letter they always put me as Mr Hakim *gubraks*, weird isn't it? I put Ms. Hakim in my reservation and my membership *sigh*, why it's always come out as Mr. Hakim, So they always keep on check and recheck again, may be they thought I've gone through sex change operation process? *creativity mode on*
Especially if I only give my Singapore ID card, whereby in the photo I have a very short hair *blush* and at the end they always blushing after giving the key to me, and when they talked to me, they keep on want to pronounce Mr instead of Ms....alamak......
Have a good week end everyone....
School Holiday...start recruiting part timer for students...Seems that the moral erotion is getting greater and greater...as the generation becoming younger *sigh*
I was really so upset towards their attitude, until I went out brought the big cutter with me asked them to work faster and they still stared at me *sigh*
Luckily one of my colleague...have a fierce face *mulai gigit2 kuku* threw her actions towards her....
I feel like killing them slowly with chopstick...alamak...what our future is going to be with this quality of people *sigh*
Endorsement pleaseeeee... *hinting*
Anyway there is a very thin lines dividing between loves and hates, and the lines is not clear of course not clear...it's very blur...indeed very blur...
I like CK One since the very first time it was launch ages ago (you could guess my age now *blush*), anyway for my love for CK One, I always wear it faithfully.
A lots of bitter sweet memory that I had with CK one, but yet, no matter how I still holding on to that perfume til I moved to Sydney, I quit. Whenever I smell the scent, I feel like something piercing into my hearts, very painful. Feel strange, empty, miss something, yet familiar
In the beginning of these year, I don't know why I bought it again, after 7 years abstain from that perfume *sigh* Still have the feelings though *sigh*
Women....*sigh* is very hard to understand....why like to be in trouble always.....are we built for that? Or it's me that is just plain stupid....
It's been a long time since I walk around Orchard Road hopping from one pedestrian tunnel to another, which normally eevery one of each tunnel has their own unique busker (=tukang ngamen-red).
Yesterday as I walked through 1 of the tunnel, I found new busker, it's an uncle with his Electronic Piano. I was surprised,"Eitsss new busker nih..."
But as I was walking and listened to his music, I felt something wrong. Finally I found out that he was playing Chinese New Year Songs *gubraks*
So it's not only Shopping Center who's trying to catch early bird shopper, as now they have already been ready for Christmas Shopping. This uncle even more advance....he has been prepared for Chinese New Year *sigh*
Yeah yeah I was from Macao and Hong Kong....yeah yeah.....need to make money (in Macao) to support my shopping (in Hong Kong)....
I've finally found someone out that I shouldn't gamble in the morning, because based on my experience twice, I tend to lose money in the morning. Note taken "shouldn't gamble in the morning"
As I gambled on Thursday morning my pocket bleed heavily, but finally I made it back bit ny bit...and in that night, I swore not to go back to my room if I had not got 10,000 in my pocket. By the time I felt tired, I counted my chips, yeah just nice 10,000, time to go back to the room.
Yeah baby, after final counts, I made quite a bit lah....enough for decent shopping...if only I didn't lose badly that morning *sigh* but anyway still won what *phew*
Last Sunday, I had a chance to see Rockapella performance @ esplanade, they are funtastic, superb, the real entertainer...etc...I was amazed with their performance, they made beautiful music, and they entertain the audience very well.
They consist of 5 male members, and during the performance, they brought up 1 of the audience, women of course, and pretty....which is of course Indonesian...ya lah...the only pretty lady and handsome guy in Singapore are Indonesian what....Sorry my Singaporean friends, but that the cruel fact about it....
At the end of the performance, I queued up for an autograph, they are very friendly, and genuine...I took some of their photos...and they posed for me, but unfortunately, it's me...always being cosiderate for others..I took it in a hurry so the result is blur *cry out loudly*
Anyway I just found out from the show that this Rockapella is the group that sings the opening songs for shows"Where In The World Is Carmen San Diego", which I haven't had a chance to see, but always play the computer game during my childhood...
last but not least, would like to wish you Happy Deepavali for those who celebrates....and have a nice week end...meanwhile me, is somewhere out there...in the city where the temperature now ranging from 18-23 celcius, the weather indoor is colder than outdoor ;P
It's a mix of old and new culture....where in the world am i?
Sometimes back...I think almost 1 month ago, our company posted an advertisement, looking for a driver.
Just now...being in the office alone to finish some works, the main lines rang, I thought it's from Cika or one of us lah...so I just pick up the phone with a lazy tones...
Suddenly, it's a guy voice *gubraks* he said,"Are you looking for a driver?"
I said,"Yes, but we found the driver already..."
He asked again,"What company is this?" *gubraks*
I am quite persistent,'But the position has been taken already"
He asked again," What company is this?" (Nih orang belom pernah dikeroyok orang satu kampung pake benda tumpul kali ya?)
Being frustated with worked I "jutekly" said," But the position has been taken"
I forgot how many times this broken record been played, finally that guy hung up the phone...
Tell me who is mentally ill? Why so Kay Poh? Told him already the position taken, still wanted to know what company we are *sigh*
Even though I've tried so hard to keep low profile in Singapore, but for this year, I have endless birthday party *sigh*
Started last Friday, then Saturday nite (Party with Drunken Master) till wee hour on Sunday....continues with Sunday lunch...

Oh my God....what a nuisance...I think I should go to the police station and ask for the Police Protection Order Letter *sigh*
Last but not least, thank you for all of you who have already arrange something (even though you might have or might not have), sending me all those sweet sms-es (anyway my toot started to ache badly since last night *gak nyambung*), and also all those who is wishing me half heartedly, yeah God knows who lah ya.....

If Venny posting about her Canadian PR, allow me to post about my Australian PR.
Well...started yesterday after a very long battle inside me, whether i should go to the Australian High Commission or not, and how should i go there, as a matter of fact the location is not convenient as well, and all the security issues etc...
So I decided to take a taxi there, and when I was there, in front of me are 2 Kenyans were stopped by the guard outside the gate. I feel that it's very ironic though..as everybody else could walk freely, but why should these 2 persons stopped by the most front guard who actually in charge of checking the vehicle that is going to enter the embassy.
Then in the security guard post, where we should change for the pass, they were questioned very long. I felt pity for them, why in this time of the year, people still practice this type of things...
Anyway, the security is very tight, everybody can't bring the handphone inside, we had to switch off the handphone and put it in the locker provided in the guard house *sigh* When I went in I just realised that I forgot to bring my old passport, and my Australian visa was in the old passport. What a waste *sigh*
By the way I got my Australian PR but expired about 1 year ago, I am going to extend my PR, and in the same time I want to apply for the tourist visa as well, simply because I miss Sydney so much.
But this morning I decided not to go to the Australian High Commission again, as I thought that I might need a photo for tourist visa application, so postponed lah...
Last but not least, would like to thank all of you for all the well wishes for my grand draw last Thursday, but sadly speaking my name was not called...may be it's not mine...
Finally I made it as the ninth caller for 91.3 FM Singapore *lumpad2 dan joged2*
So I have to stay tune on Thursday 18 October from 7 am till midnite i guess, just in case they call up my name, and I have to call them back within 60 minutes to win some voucher.
Wish me luck ya...and if you could help me to listen to the radio, just in case I miss out when they call up my name *senyum manis*
Don't forget...18 October 2007 starting from 7 am.
Thanks a zillion....
Allow me to wish you, who celebrates Idul Fitri, "Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri, Mohon maaf lahir dan bathin"
And also allow me to quote an sms sent by my friend, Satria Yulfan:
"Meminta maaf tidak menjadikan kita hina,Once again Selamat Idul Fitri 1428H, mohon maaf lahir dan bathin.
I miss Jakarta, with all the crowds in the eve of Hari Raya Idul Fitri *sobs sobs*
I guess I know why my anger tolerance is getting shorter and shorter.
Back in Jakarta, I release my steam by speeding and cursing when people cut into my lane with no manner.
Meanwhile in Singapore, everybody so stressfull, and when I drive I keep on reminding my self not to speed...well I still love my driving licence though...
Anyway...just for your info, if you know how much i hate you, you could see from the signature of my email, if I included all my university degree behind my name, it's proven that you are in my most hatred list....
Meanwhile...I sign off ...so many things to do, so little time
I think I need to join anger management class already. As I prone to get angry to other people (not my staffs though) easily...especially all those so called bloody stupid customer service consultant...but of course I don't scold them but I'd asked to be transferred to the manager, then start singing my rap songs (read:scolding them upside down)...
A new idiotic customer just talked to me and you know that type of unreasonable request, but know nothing about it, and even questioned me about the knowldege of my work.....arrrggghhhh don't you think that you want to kill her?
Who the hell she think she is, dare to questioned me such things? Tetangga bukan sodara bukan *ngasah piso*...eh shouldn't sharpened my knife dink...that type of person should be killed slowly with a blund knife....
My staff started to worry and asked her colleagues to make me cold drinks....
Aiyoh just now is only a short episodes of my mild anger mah...even though a lots of bad words, but I haven't raised up my tone yet though *blush* I only cursed after I finished my call...
In Indonesian is "Tangan Dingin" geto loh....
I don't really believe in Midas Touch during my childhood, as I enjoy my mom's cooking so much, she can keep the house very need and tidy all the time, she does the washing, etc by herself and she's a superwoman....pokoke TOP BGT dehhhh...
My grandma from both sides also were good cooks as well....even my dad, can cook quite nice, which he did when my mom fall sick.
When I was in secondary school, just simply because of I was too boyish, so my mom made a conspiracy to my school head master, to register me in cooking subject for 3 years. Actually I didn't even put cooking at all as my choice....but suddenly my name appeared for cooking subject. I was so innocent, and asked my teacher, they said any other class already full. So I did that cooking class for 3 years, which formed me to a not so bad cooks lah...
At least during those 3 years, every wednesday my dad would wait for me excitedly, wanting to get something from my cooking class, meanwhile, my mom would wait til my dad said," very nice" then she would take it with hesitation :(
Anyway so far in my Singapore maid's history (jreng jreng...maid again niyyyy), I've never let them cook my food, I only let them make my breakfast which consist of Tea with sugar and toast....safe enough lah...
Even though Nunik (Doh, Nunik lage bowww.....) who said that she can't cook, but actually I'd ever found out that she made tong seng for her self *grrrrrrrrrrrr mo marah gak siy?*
My latest domestic helper, from Myanmar...she's very good, very helpful (too helpful in fact), I feel that she's more fit to be a gurkha (=the 1st class body guard from Nepal) than a domestic helper....I feel uneasy, the way she serves me, as though I'm a small kids...*tepok jidat*
But anyway, she doesn't have midas touch....but everything she touch would turn to disaster...my tea, I don't know why, the only tea she can make only chinese tea....for any other tea, I will have gastric problem after drinking her tea, which is too acidic I guess.
I've tried to trained her how to make a cup of tea, but yet it has never been good *sigh* and all the plants, died in her hand *gubraks* even bonsai plant, which practically easy to maintain, also lost the leaves one by one and died *gubraks lagi*
What happened to her ya? Anyway Have a good week end every one....
When I first moved into Singapore from Sydney, I looked dirty, like never been washed for weeks ;P, very tanned, and speak with an Australian Accent. Like to wear bermuda and t-shirt, carried back pack wehere ever I go, wear sport shoes or just normal slipper.
So every time I took taxi, after i told my destination, the uncle started to sneered at me thru his mirror, and asked,"You're Filipino ah?" (with the tone of,"You're filipino maid ah?")
That time I was still very polite, I said no, then kept quiet....then the uncle would still be kay poh (=busy body) asked me again,"So where you from?"
I still politely said,"I just moved from Sydney".
Uncle,"Oh what you work there ah?" (still with that tone so you work as a domestic helper in Sydneyah?)
I said," Nope, I just finished my master degree"
Then after that the conversation tone changed...when he later knew that actually I'm Indonesian who studied overseas, then started to ask, whether my parents owned any properties here, around Orchard *sigh*
After around my 3rd or 4th year in Singapore, once I board the taxi, they would asked," Xiao Jie Yao Qi Na Li?" (=Where are you going miss?). well a bit of improvement, and he would blabbered in Chinese, which I repllied politely, "Sorry I'm Indonesian Chinese and my Chinese is not good" But still the uncle speak Chinese with me saying,"Never mind, You'll be improving very soon if you stays here..."
Now....everybody would asked,"Sorry to ask you ar miss, are you Indonesian? (with a very sweet voice). Well, I always reply proudly,"Yes I am Indonesian".
So it made me think....Do I change so much within 7 years meh? *garoek2 kepala"
It's okay lah...at least now in most od Singaporean eyes, my face looks like rich Indonesian, as I could see from the way they speak to me.....how I wish I am as rich as their think.....
Morale of story: It's proven that uncle taxi are very busy body
Life is very ironic with a lots of insensitive people arounds you.
Especially those who supposed to be your friends that you share your life stories with, and then suddenly that friend started to ask the stupid, insensitive questions to you as though that friend doesn't know what's your status, which actually indeed that friend knows very well what is happening in your life. But yet, that question came out from that person. Isn't it ironic?
It's just like you're asking somebody whom you know is struggling to make a living with a question,"Have you checked out the Salvatore Ferragamo sale?" or you ask your friend, whom you know very well is fasting,"Have you taken your lunch?"
Ironic isn't it? But it's indeed happened.....
Even in Singapore, the road are very quiet.
Selamat menjalankan ibadah puasa yaaaaaa
Since young I used to play with boys...and til now I prefer to work and play around with men also...
Women is a very complicated things, even though me my self is a woman, but I would never ever understand other women *sigh*
I am a very straight forward person....but sometimes I do play politics if necessary...now I'm a grown up, and I can't choose to work only with men....but what choice do I have?
I've been very careful in selecting my staff, but sometimes incidents could happen anytime...should I ask my colleagues to do sex change operation and hormonal therapy?
I've ever posted using this title, so I used #2 instead..
It was yesterday, I met my client at Paragon, and I came at the wrong timing, it had started to jam since Tanglin Road, in front of Brunei Embassy to be exact, all the way til the Paragon Entrance.
I've never known Orchard road would be jammed around that time *sigh* Going into the carpark was even worse, as it was using the ERP censor, so the queue become longer, if no car came out, and the quota had been reached, so no car can enter the car park.
Some more the valley car park has moved to basement, so I have to pass the carpark entrance before I could reach the vallet *sigh* Ever since the car park vallet moved, normally I won;t use them anymore, since I'd been able to enter the carp park, there is no use of valet parking anymore, I could park my self though...but this time, because of the time constraint *caelah* I have no choice but to use them.
Then *censored*
Finished Paragon, it was jammed again *sigh*, and in front of Clementi Central, I was driving along the way, suddenly the stupid white small van came out withoput even putting signal. Being so close, I just horned, and you guess.. HE SHOWED HIS MIDDLE FINGER TO ME...and he looks so smart, wearing a blue business shirt, and have a pleasant looks but lousy manner...
You know me, if he wants to play, I also can...so I follow him side by side, if he fast, I'd drive faster, if he slow, I'd be slower also, being helpless, he stopped...then I realized okay he's driving a van, by right I should be able to see the company name from the side of his van.
Yupe I'm damn right, the company name is THE MAGIC COTTAGE ENRICHMENT CENTRE.
OMG Enrichment centre, do you think as a parents, you'd trust that stupid enrichment center who were in the wrong and still dare to show middle finger to me.
Don't you think as enrichment centre they have to show a good example to people, as they are considered as educational institution?
But anyway remembering my lunch (which is a noodle soup) had been waiting for me since I was still in Paragon, I didn't follow him anymore. I came back to the office, i search the yellow pages and called the yellow pages, the company is not listed (hmmm what kinda company is it? Fly by night company huh?). But I managed to track his company. The number listed is only handphone number, I called the number but it said,"the number you just called is not in use"
Of course I'd lodged in a police report, and I'll go to the court on Monday to pursue the matter...
Wanna play? Come and play with me....Fun isn't it?
My daddy always says if I encountered something unusual, I'll be lucky.
Yesterday I bought my lunch downstairs, and the auntie seller, normally doesn't smile, but yesterday she smiled at me and said thank you to me, regardless, I paid her with $50 notes.
So after office I went to buy lottery, but I didn't strike...
Morale of the story: May be I should have asked the auntie what year was she born and buy that number instead ya...
Woke up late for church *blush* so i skip lah...
Then turn on the TV want to see gossip show donks...as it used to be my playground *nyanyi* routine geto loh..but it's too early for gossip show. Having no choice I see whatever available lah..RCTI is Tom and Jerry (too much during my childhood) and SCTV is telenovela.
So I tried to watch that SCTV for a while, it's about the promise of love that they made during their childhood, and now they've grown up and want to fulfill their promise...Looks like these type of topic is quite in trend in Indonesian drama series ya...But of course I couldn't be glued to that show.....soooo cheesy...
But it do make me think...whether I've made such promise before or not ya? Just in case I did and I have to find that half of my heart back in Indonesah geto loh, remembering most of my friends' father are conglomerate *ketawa guling2 di lante*
Morale of story: kids..if you want to make such promise make sure to see bibit, bebet, bobot ya *matre mode on*
This one happened a few weeks back. I woke up late and was lazy to go to my normal church. So I decided to go to ORPC for that Sunday.
I texted my partner in crime,"Jeng, lo ntar ke gereja?
My partner in crime," Masih gak tau nih jeng, soale ada temenku dateng dari Jakarta lewat Batam, dan bakalan tinggal di tempat gue, so gue musti nungguin dia"
Me,"Oke deh gue ke Plaza Singapura dulu yeee..."
Her,"Just in case gue gak dateng, lo coba sms Titus ato Pingkan aje, biar elo ada temen geto loh.."
I did, but Pingkan couldn't make it for that day, and Titus is on duty as photographer.
I texted my partner in crime again,"Eh jeng gue gak bawa alkitab"
Her,"Tenang, dipinjemin kok di sono.."
I've never known exactly what's the best way to go to ORPC from Plaza Singapura, which resulted I heard the bell sounds, while I was still across Park Mall *sigh*
I was in doubt, whether should I go ahead or should I just went back home, which later on, I decided to go on.
I arrived, the service had started, it was quite crowded, so finally I could find a seat. I sat down and browsed around trying to find the bible, I saw only Chinese bible available *panick mode on*
After calming my self down, I found Indonesian bible *phew* Then when the song leader announced which song to sing, I started to panick again, trying to find the Song book (Kidung Jemaat).
OMG I coulnd't find, then I tried to look around to realize it's incorporated at the back of the bible *tepok jidat* then another disaster, every time they announce whic song to sing or which verse to read from the bible, I opened wrongly.
I started to think my hearing is bad or I was hallucinating *sigh* But luckily during the preach I managed to open the right passage....
Well....well....may be I used to rely on people so much (baca:ngegebet dari tetangga geto loh), so when my partner in crime not by my side, I got lost *blush*
Morale of story: Ngegebet berbahaya bagi kesejahteraan hidup anda....
Oh My God, I only took a bit of my monday morning to have brunch with my friends for a while. But I felt that now I am under the cursed.
My works seems endless *sigh*
My blood has reached the biling point at this time....the volcano is going erupt soon...
Wanna spare with me? Come I'll in the mood of fight
Today is a gloomy day in Singapore with rain pouring quite heavily the whole day, and it made me to think and have reflection about my life, my achievement, etc...
I agree with the statement of "Money can't buy happiness" as I see my life now, I feel in term of financial stability I should be okay, but when I think back to my schooling days in Sydney, I felt that I was happier back then.
I was working as a waitress, and every week, I used to feel very excited on Wednesday, just simply it was my pay day. No matter how small my payment is, by the time I got my pay check on hand, I felt like jumping around and shouting "horraaayy".
I would walk happily and humming all the way to the nearest bank to throw in my pay check. But now, look at me, no matter how many times I earned compared with before, there was no excitement at all. When I opened my office letter box and found an envelope with check payment inside, I don't have any excitement in opening it, let alone going to the bank to throw in the check *sigh*
If only I could turn back time....Life is much simpler then....
Still remember that latin phrase?
In my case means I come, I gamble, and of course I won *blush*
Ever known the game called "Where's in the world Carmen San Diego?"
So I let you guess where am I then *smile*
I haven't been back to Singapore yet though....Happy week end

We proudly announce that our company has several new products which consist of flu virus, bacteria, and also cough....
Interested party please do not hesitate to drop me an email *winks*
Tepar lagi ah..tepar lagi ah ah ...*singing*
Aiyoh...just recovered from quite bad flu 2 weeks ago, now down again with a bacteria infection *sigh*
My GP said, it's throat infection, yeah indeed felt uncomfortable with my throat though, on the other hand she also worries with stomach flu, but I have no diarrhea at all *pardon me* But..after the doctor then my diarrhea started *alamak* and my stomach pain is on and off...
Tomorrow...oopss...later this afternoon might have visited my GP again...
What's wrong with me? Become friends of bacteria already meh? *sigh*
Last nite, having dinner with my best friend from Jakarta, plus my partner in crime and her husband which just moved into Singapore (yay finally got new victim, welcome to the club).
We were talking about how far her husband has been adapting so far, whether he has started to speak Singlish, which replied by him" Touch wood lah yauuuuu..."
I said it took me 3 years to get Singlish flowing into my bloodstream, and let's see how long will he be able to resist, as for the wife, she more or less Singlish by the middle of her 1st year here *winks*
Then of course, as a good team mate, we always want to welcome a new comer to feel as comfortable as possible in Singapore *wicked smile* So we started to speak Singlish *blush*
After dinner, i sent everyone of them, and just on the way out from my carp park lot, suddenly the husband shouted,"Eh Flo, it's No Entry you know!"
I said,"Aiyah, Indonesian mah...."
His wife,"Yes...we do not understand English, if only they had written "Dilarang Masuk" then Flona won't go to that direction.
Morale of the story: For where two or three Indonesian come together, there would be a lots of histeria and fun ;P
Have a good week end everyone....
This morning was raining, I was very reluctant to get out from my bed, remembering yesterday I'd raced around Singapore *sigh* But have no other choice, I have to go to the office *deep sigh*
Lazy to drive, brain jammed, I went down, realising that I didn't bring the umbrella with me. Being dumb from my tiredness, I just dialled a number to get a cab, and the other party,"Sorry this is not a cab company" *gubraks*
I felt bad and said,"oopss..I'm very sorry..." then hung up the phone.
I saw a lots of taxi outside, but rain, I walked to the bus stop and tried to flag a taxi. Got one, the driver quite cute *excited* but he spoke chinese to me, despite of I greeted him in English when I got in Good morning!".
FYI I greeted him is not because of he's cute okay...it's simply because I'm very polite *blush* anyway, cute guy...that's a rare things or could be says cute guys are going to extinct in Singapore, if could find, whether they're foreigner, or just simply womaniser or the one who is very narcistic (sorry if I offended anybody, but anyway that's the true fact). It's not like in Jakarta, where I could find cute guy every where, starting from the unpolished one (in Trisakti University), or the already polished with a very good finishing, everywhere in the mall *sigh*
Being challenged, I also answered him in Chinese. Then I began sms-ing my friends, and of course you can imagine what did I write in the sms *wink* So when got reply I smiled, then sent again etc...I supposed having the passenger smiling all the way at the back of taxi while sms-ing is quite common for taxi driver.
Nearest to my office he asked which part of the road my office is, and I told him the way, then he asked again (of course all the conversation were in Chinese, but I don't know how to write han yu pin yin, so i just wrote in English lah ya...) ,"You are not local, are you?"
I answered,"Nope"
He,"I thought so, because of your pronounciation.Are you from Hongkong?" *gubraks*
I said,"Nope, you guess?"
He gave up, I said,"I'm Indonesian".
Then arriving in the destination, I asked him to drop me on the side entrance, but he was very concern, he said,"But it's raining.."
I answered,"It's okay, only a bit..."
He said,"Ok then, please be carefull, it's slippery..."
Oh My God, so sweet huh?..too bad I didn't asked his number *sigh*
Morale of the story: When you see a good catch, please get the phone number immediately...
This morning I had to wake up early as I had to pick up my best friend from Jakarta. Her flight arrived 8.55 *sigh*
But with a very high spirit, meeting her geto loh....I woke up early donk *smile sweetly* Actually she is on company duty, so last night she insisted not to be picked up from the airport. I couldn't wait to see her, so I picked her up *blush*
She came with her colleague, which happened to be our Junior back in Trisakti before. Even though at the end I shot all the way to Tuas, they had to submit their product sample to PSB in Tuas and after that dropped them at their hotel in town. I did it, in the name of friendship *caelah*
She commented something,"Eh Flo, elo di sini kok nyetirnya sangat patuh dan taat sesuai dengan tata tertib mengemudi ya?"
I said,"Lo mao dapet surat cintah dari Traffic Police ape? kalo ganteng sih kaga ape2"
And FYI, everytime I drive here in Singapore I have to keep on reminding my self,"Flona, remember this is Singapore, please drive carefully..."
Morale of story: Can you imagine how michael schumacher drive in his own private car?
Phrase itu sangat familiar di kuping kan? Terutama kalo lagi ulangan yang tipenya multiple choice ato yes or No questions.
Tapi gak hanya sebatas ulangan saja kata sakti itu bisa diimplikasikan *caelah bahasa guwe cuit cuit..* Kadang dalam menghadapi pilihan yang sulit, temen2 gokil kita suka memakai kata sakti itu,"Halah...udah itung kancing ajah.."
Apakah dalam mengambil sebuah keputusan itu bener2 as simple as ngitung kancing? Coba bayangin, berapapun kancingnya, kalo kita mulai dengan iya, nggak, iya, nggak, ...dst....trus setelah dapat hasil akhir, kita balik itungannya mulai dengan nggak, iya, nggak, iya...dst Toh hasilnya tetep aja nihil.
Jadi gimane donks? baju yang gue pake sekarang ajah gak ada kancingnya....sementara masalah yang nunggu pemecahan dari gue makin lama makin bertumpuk.
Alangkah bahagianya gue kalo gue masih senekat dulu.....ternyata usia membuat tingkat kenekatan menurun *sigh*
Moral of the story: kalo pake baju yang ada kancingnya, jangan lupa ngancing yak *gak nyambung* hihihiihihi....
I am down with the flu for the past 1 week. I saw my GP on Monday, and she've never tired of asking me whether I could take MC, regardless she knows my boss is me, and I would never ever take any MC at all *kekeuh*
I told her not too worry, I wouldn't force my self to work hard in the office *cross finger*, and she said ok, and gave me a few types of medicines, a powerful antibiotics, steroid for my runny nose (he he he...doping yak...), and 1 type of flu medicine for morning, it won't cause drowsiness, and another type taken in the night, as it will cause drowsiness, and of course cough syrups.
Well...yesterday nite, I was having early dinner around 7, and I took the medicine straight away. Weirdly, I was still clicking my mouse, playing online game till 1 am in the morning without feeling sleepy at all...
So...where is the faulty?
Morale of the story: kerusakan bukan pada pesawat televisi anda booo...have a nice week end every one *hugs*
When I was driving and listening to the radio on the way to the office, they are playing all those cheery themes of songs, which would charge you up in the morning and make you feel better and have a bright day.
It made my memory suddenly played back the old good times, during my teenage years, when I stayed over in my grandma's house on week days, and I had to go to school. I used to stay in my grandma's room, on my auntie's bed, to be exact, meanwhile my auntie forced to sleep in the next room with another auntie *grins*
By the time the alarm sounds, I would be still lazy to open my eyes, and my grandma would wake me up with full of love, meanwhile I took my own sweet time to be awake. But still Grandma was very patient and lovings towards me.
By the time I open my eyes, I would reach out my hand to the top of my head to switch on the radio on my grandma's desk (read as "tangan gue mulai grepe2 ke atas kepala gue nyari tombol buat nyalain radio), and the channel, of course 102.3 FM (yes that time Prambors was still in this frequency).
During that time from 5am to 6 am they will play the continuous energising music, that will make you fully wake up. So I tuned in to that radio, turned the volume up and dancing passed my grandma all the way to the bathroom, singing, and moving to the rhythm of the music even when I was munching my breakfast.
FYI all these precious moment couldn't be done at my home, let alone playing msic in the very early morning, even talk with my normal tone in the morning is also forbid my mom, she said,"Hush..you father still sleeping, don't make noise!!!!!!"
Then during the journey to school I would fight over the radio channel with my beloved driver, which of course most of the time I won, but sometime I just let my driver to tune into his channel, once in a blue moon la.....
With all those sweet memories playing in my minds, without knowing suddenly the tears had started to flow down from my eyes...Ooopss..and my make up damage *teteup*
Even though Grandma had passed away quite sometimes back but she is the best grandma in the world. And for uncle driver, where ever you are, I miss you too...
Apakah itu cuma sebuah judul lagu atau film yang sangat klise?
Pada waktu badai melanda suatu daerah, setelah beberapa waktu, badai itu akan berhenti atau berpindah ke tempat lain.
Ketika gue melihat sekeliling gue, temen temen gue yang lain kok sepertinya udah melalui tahap quarter life crisisnya mereka masing-masing dan kehidupannya udah lumayan stabil dan udah berlanjut ke tahap berikutnya.
Pada saat gue merenungkan kehidupan gue, kok badai kehidupan itu seakan akan tetap melanda kehidupan gue ya? Entah kenapa, sepertinya badai kehidupan, masih belum puas memporakporandakan kehidupan gua yang udah lumayan berantakan.
Apakah badai ini akan berlalu? Atau cuma merupakan kalimat klise belaka?
When I see life arounds me, most of the time I feel life is unfair.
But is the unfairness in life actually meant to create a balance in life, just like Yin and Yang?
