Happy chinese new year
When I went to DBS bank, in the lobby someone touched my shoulder and I automatically respond it by turning my head. One second after that, I almost scream very load coz' the person who touched me has a very long moustache. And he said " Happy new year from DBS bank" and gave me one gold coin for my prosperous new year.
What I did after that is ask them to take picture. hahahaha... luckily I don't forget what is the reason for me to go there.

erasing you
Saw from mia's blog : A person from your past might be holding you back from enjoying your present.
I wish I could only click control A, delete, delete file, move it to recycle bin, delete file. Simply.
Move on, move on.

Easy weekend
After had a relaxing massage by an Indonesian lady in my apartment, I had a very interesting conversation with Raymond ( my friend from Bali ) of how expatriate life. We share what is the happy part and which one is the unfortunate circumstances.
The story of airport is our third place ( after office and home ), dealing with local authority, local custom and behaviour, culture, food, visa arrangement, airlines, and lots other interesting subject.
In conclusion, regardless what permanent resident or working visa we hold, we agree that Indonesia is still our home, especially when we will be retired.
Mon, hope you like my home cooking dinner.

I can still walk by myself without a reason
Though, stand up without knowing what will be happened;
Perhaps time is a kind of cure
But it is also the poison I am taking right now
I think finding a new one is the right medicine
Try to understand, try to accept.
Forgive is the right word.

I envy you
You were here from 1819 until 1823, but your name is commontly used for all important and heritage places in Singapore.
Raffles hotel, raffles place, one raffles link, raffles city, raffles quay, raffles medical, raffles avenue, raffles boulevard, raffles park.
More than all Srivijaya Princes, chinese occupation, Malaysian Sultanate and all the traders that have been here since the third century.
the prettiest girl in the office
I just said to florence this morning " whoa you look so pretty today " until during lunch time one auntie cleaner broken her day by looking at her name tag and said "are you still smoking ya?".
I thought for the first time she just try to open a conversation line until I realized that she thought my lovely Florence is pregnant. No wonder she kept looking at Flo's name tag which is in front of her tummy.
I laughed very loud until everyone looked at me. Sorry ya flo.. it's so spontaneous. Don't worry, you are still the prettiest girl in the office.

year of rat 2008
This for rabbit like me in year of rat. Hahahaha
Rabbits have it good this year in matters of the heart. You are blessed by Hong Luan, the most powerful star of positive relationships. With this star shining on you this year, your romantic future looks all set to flourish and bloom. If you are already in a steady relationship and have been toying with the idea of getting married, this year is a good time to go ahead with that plan. If you are a single Rabbit, cheer up. Hong Luan promises top help you embark upon a life-long journey with a newly found soul-mate.
Hmmm... is it the time for to settle down?

salmon sashimi and sushi
After workout in Paragon, I went down stair to market place. Just go and see what can I cook for lunch at home. And suddenly think of Japanese food. Look how I try hard to cut the salmon and arrange things on my IKEA plate. hahaha... Other alternative after Italian food cooking last nite.
I finished all of these... full but healthy.

Settling down
Having a “new” community in Singapore, I felt and learned that most of them are split into two species, those who settled down domesticated couples and those who aren’t, read party, party, party.
I am talking about community for those who are success, well educated, good looking, over 30 and never consider legal marriage is a part of their life; or simply that marriage can’t be implied to their life.
What I see that the domesticated couple tends to be more serious, talk for future minded, to buy or share condo together, meanwhile other who aren’t simply act I-don’t-want-look-older-than-18years old but happily stress-free of unnecessary domestic problem.
What are they doing everyday?
Outside the working hours, means only a couple hours a day and day off. The domesticated coupled mostly be found in coffee shop, bookstore, most of them shop at deli/gourmet grocery places where to me most of their products are unpronounceable.
They are talking about nutrition fact and how to look after their body more than all aunties do. Debating calories intake and scare 1% additional body fat will make their partner run away. Ask them where the best facial and even a face lifting, they can direct you the best places instead aunties who just cares about slimming package discount.
The other package of their life is a dog. Sometimes I wonder why dog? May be coz’ a fish can not be shown on the street for those having attitude of look-at-me-darling-I-am-as-gorgeous-as-paris-hilton or may be within a year or two into living together once things have settled down and there’s nothing else to channel attention to. Some said that once dog comes in, then sex goes out. Whoa.
The single one, on the other hand, mostly doesn’t keep a dog; simply do groceries shopping at nearby cold storage, while looking for cute young expatriate angmoh more than their shopping list. Rest of lunch and dinner problem or cooking-ideas, leave it to chicken rice uncle and fish ball noodle counter. Do they look after their body? Oh ya definitely, 4 times a week a gym and 2 glasses of protein shake intake a day.
But one thing I learned, most of them scare to be old and lonely, which I do. Well may be it’s the time for me to learn how to pronounce the deli/gourmet product now and thinking for my future dog’s name.
Reading Florence blog has made me feel to write again.

who am I?
by Casting Crowns album: Casting Crowns (2003)
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours
