4 days with you are never enough 40 days with you are never enough 400 days with you are never enough 4000 days with you are never enough ... not even 40000 days.
I just want to spend all my life and after life with you!
Jakarta is in a HUGE mess, flood is everywhere. The airport was closed down for some time, the highways were buried under water... and my home-sweet home is now having that unwelcomed guest.
So sickening.... it has never entered my house before, literally. The most was just at the front yard where I found a dead fish before. Now, the water level is up to thigh and the electricity was cut. My parents and bro are still there....shietttt..... *huhuhuhu

Wondering how tomorrow will be... coz it's already at waist level on the streets. Please...
For all the flood victims, be strong and take a good care of yourself ok!
For the government, isn't it another IMPORTANT sign to even start planning on a better city planning and management?
For everyone else, start taking good care of the mother earth *if you haven't done so* and keep up the great job *if you've started to do so*... your lives, your next generation's lives and your next next generation's lives lay on your hand.
When I dreamt of you that night... I couldn't help but to continue my sleep smiling all the way even when I had to return to Singapore and end my trip one day earlier...
Tonight...I wish the same way too *haha.. Sweet dreams all :)
I'm paxing to Christchurch. Let's test your Geography. Which continent is Christchurch in? Which country is it exactly?
Haha...just curious coz many people do not seem to know. It's Australia. Christchurch is in New Zealand, a much nicer place than Australia itself in my humble opinion :)
Hey Pong, thanks for the song. Love it to the max :)
Somebody's Me by Enrique Iglesias.
You, do you remember me? Like I remember you? Do you spend your life Going back in your mind to that time?
Because I, I walk the streets alone I hate being on my own And everyone can see that I refell And I'm going through hell Thinking about you were somebody else
[CHORUS] Somebody wants you Somebody needs you Somebody dreams about you every single night Somebody can't breath without you, it's lonely Somebody hopes someday you will see That Somebody's Me That Somebody's Me
How, How could we go wrong It was so good and now it's gone And I pray at night that our paths will soon cross And what we had isn't lost Cause you're always right here in my thoughts
[CHORUS] Somebody wants you Somebody needs you Somebody dreams about you every single night Somebody can't breath without you, it's lonely Somebody hopes someday you will see That Somebody's Me
You'll always be in my life Even if I'm not in your life Because you're in my memory
You, will you remember me?... And before you set me free Oh listen please
Lesson of the day: And as I miss someone dearly... there's always HOPE... maybe they miss me too or maybe I am someone's world *whatever will be will be... Que Sera Sera...
Hm... see, I have been out of my real Home Sweet Home since I was 14. My sis and I were in Penang, Malaysia for our hi-skul education. We did not plan to study abroad at such an early age, but the political and security issue back in our home country forced us to fly away. So, there we were in a foreign land by ourselves.
We rented a room with the other 2 friends, and in total there were 6 of us in a house. Our auntie -landlady- stayed next door. She is a really nice person, I admit. We learned to be independent ever since, especially when I am the oldest one in the 'family' I also have to take care of my new siblings *haha and be responsible of them. Although we had the whole house for us, but the ground floor was used as an office in the morning. Yeah... it was more of a 'home' compared to some other accommodation that came after that, but it's still an incomplete 'home'.
So, four year after we first arrived in Penang, I graduated and was admitted to NTU - Singapore. Again, I had to spend another 4 years in the University. It was merely a room in NTU also, where I had to share the pantry and restroom with the other occupants.
Now, I am sharing a room with my sis. We rent a room in one of the HDB in Toa Payoh. It's a pretty small room for the two of us *or maybe coz I have too much things after my slightly over 4-year stay. We shared the pantry and the toilet. Most of the time, we choose to stay in our room and do our own things.
Hence, I am missing the feeling of having a real home.
A place where I can have my own room and decorate it nicely according to my style. A place where I can cook whatever I want, and not just soup or noodles. A place where I can have the TV for my own *hahaha* A place where rules are meant to be broken A place where I don't have to worry being kicked out or when the lease is going to expire A place where I can sit in the living room comfortably without fear of someone coming in and scold me A place where I don't have to listen to those calculative acts A place where I can invite my friends along A place where I can proudly say, "Hey... let's come to my place!"
So yeah... hope everything goes smoothly, hope everything falls into its place, and let's hope for the best.
My life is brilliant.
Dear PH, it's really really great to talk to you again *altho virtually* ... Am on the cloud nine now. Ochin kruta!

Hmph... let's start with me traveling all the way to NTU to settle my bank loan *geez, why did I have to queue?* today as I couldn't do it yesterday because I did not bring my passport *heyloo... the lady did not tell me this at all*. So, I finished the business and headed to Lee Wee Nam library to find Lele.
Hey yeah... Nophie and I finished reading the Indonesian book, Kambingjantan, in a few days time. Pretty fast heh! Lai..lai..lai.. we welcome more books!
We talked for a while and then I had to go to our AIESEC NTU booth. It was our 2nd day of Recruitment Fair in NTU. I quickly packed my Chicken Curry Don and headed there. Met the EBs and members, and even Siew Yik-NUS-, Kenny-SMU- and Celine -SMU-. Cool man! I love it when we are there for each other :) B.O.N.D.I.N.G hahaha
And then Lele came to visit the booth. OMIGOD, she just received So You Think You Can Dance season 3 episode 1 - 17. Wahahaha surely, I copied all them onto my external HDD. Thanks muchie Lele!
But the greatest satisfaction came during the NTU Welcome Tea. The OC deserves a round of applause. The Exec Boards and @ers were so helpful and encouraging, the crowd was crazy enough, and we had Cecilia, Tong, Devi, Jing Wen, Reinhard, Celine, Alina to pay us a visit *and some of them presented too*.
I like the feeling when I knew I had done my best. My presentation was a bit technical coz I covered what AIESEC is, AIESEC Experience, our culture, our learning, and a lil bit of my own @XP. I tried my best to make it fun and easy to comprehend, I hope they understood me well enough *haha*. It's just great to be able to help out and contribute still, despite my fresh Alumni status. I love the feeling, the bonding, the lame jokes, the rollcalls on the stage, the free banana fritters and curry puff *hihi* and the chance to meet some more senior @ers. It's really great to see you guys there ^^
Ah.. anyway, I had my Bahasa Indonesia test today. It was FUN. The senior stewardess is from Indonesia too and she's very friendly. We even talked about the job and she gave me some advices and shared some stories too. She has been in S*A for 11 years. WOW... It was so comfy to talk to her that I feel like I was actually talking to a friend of mine *serious mode*. "It's just great to be able to speak Indonesian and meeting someone who speaks your language too," she adds. COOL!!
So, how was the test itself?
Selamat siang Bapak-bapak dan Ibu-ibu, tanda sabuk pengaman telah dipadamkan. ....
I had to recite the whole paragraph that she read out, pretending I was making an announcement onboard. Hoohoho.. I nailed it down.
"It's perfect. Convincing and confident, and this is what we're looking for." *smug face*
Okie then, she said she would help us to process it faster *It may take up to 2-month for Indonesians acc to her*. So, I can only say THANKS MUCHIE, and see you soon.
Shub tagged me long time ago and I didn't realize that *I'm so sorry Shub. I was in Ukraine then and there was no regular internet connection, so I didn't check your blog as frequently. Now, here it goes...
Three things that scare me: 1. Being lonely: I like having my own private time where I can self-reflect and enjoy no one's company, but I don't want to grow old and feel lonely *it's in the mind, I know*. Still... 2. Show me a pool of blood and I'll faint in a split second. 3. I gotta agree with Sharon in terms of 'being expressive', especially when it involves another party. It's never been a part of me and well... I don't know when it will be although I hope I could have a bigger scoop of that
Three people who make me laugh: 1. My sister: her actions and crazy facial expressions gets two thumbs up from me 2. My friends: I just can't split them into different entities. They do cheer me up, give the lamest jokes on earth, act in silly way and ready to take random pictures with me 3. ...
Three things I love: 1. Travelling: One of my dreams is to travel to more countries/places than the number that's appeared on my ID card (i.e.: age). This will be much better if I had great company, great music and movies and enough money to spend *hehehe 2. Meeting people and learning things from them (culture, life experiences, knowledge, etc), so I like being accompanied by great people and sharing while learning from them. Therefore, if we couldn't afford to meet physically...virtually would do good too 3. Eating: Delicious food and beverages, not too oily, no exotic food and with some chili please
Three things I hate: 1. Being miserable: For not doing something or doing it the wrong way, regretting, feeling guilty, being incapable of doing something, ... and missing someone 2. Intolerant people: helloo....life is not about you yourself! Give us some space... 3. Pretentious people: If I like then I like, if I don't...I'm sorry I can't pretend that I like you. Period. This includes back-stabbers *don't pretend you are nice and innocent, coz you are NOT
Three things I don't understand *Again...I simply has to agree with you, Sharon: 1. Myself: Being a woman is complicated. To add that, a Cancerian is complex too. If I don't even understand myself, how could others? Geez... 2. Love: Why does it happen when you least expect it? Why it brings happiness yet it hurts at the same time? Why and how does it start? How do I know if he's the right one? How can I possibly be in the same situations again and knowing it'd never happen? Why... 3. Life: It's just a puzzle for me to figure out. Enjoy!
Three things on my desk: 1. A 4-year old PC *still running but need to upgrade its memory and HDD haha 2. A 9-month old Casio Exilim *precious precious... 3. Mobile phones *just took my mom's NOKIA mobile haha and my own Panasonic
Three things I am doing now: 1. Listening to my playlist 2. Typing this 3. Missing 'you'
Three things I want to do before I die: 1. Make at least one of my dreams come true 2. Bring my parents for a travelling trip 3. Being in love without regret
Three things I can do *waks...this is tough: 1. Being supportive and cheering *really cheering..my voice is LOUD enough haha 2. Dancing *no particular style...just moving haha 3. Making hand-made cards I'm like jack of all trades but king of none...
Three things you should listen to: 1. Family and friends' advices and suggestions: Think and consider 'em...but decide what's best myself 2. Nice slow songs with meaningful lyrics that suit my mood 3. My inner voice ;)
Three things you should never listen to: 1. Those words that are meant to belittle you, make you depressed and feel worthless. Mistakes are a part of learning process, take it easy. Learn and move on. 2. Silly excuses to justify someone's actions *It's your choice... 3. Rumours and gossips about yourself: I learn to stop listening to these craps. You can't satisfy everyone... so let it be.
Three things I'd like to learn: 1. Hip-hop dance 2. Cooking and baking 3. How to be a better person: by knowing myself, others and life more
Three Favourite Foods: 1. I like all sorts of -balls: fishballs, meatballs, cuttlefish balls, shrimp balls...etc 2. Spicy and soupy food *not too cheesy, too much dairy products, too strong unknown smell and too oily 3. Mom's cook...the best
Three beverages I drink regularly: 1. Plain water 2. Tea: Green tea, Chinese tea, ... 3. Juice *missin Ukraine's juice..
Three TV shows I watched as a kid: 1. Doraemon: Every Sunday morning haha 2. Sesame Street: Great show...learn alot of things from this 3. can't remember...huhu
Three books I read as a kid: 1. Japanese manga borrowed from friends *it's too costly for me ^^ 2. A series of books 'Do you know...' *it's like explaining why things happen in a certain ways.. 3. Textbook from schools *haha..what else?
Three people I would love to tag: 1. Nophie 2. Yap *eh...send link elo dunk....ilang lagi.. 3. whoever is free enough to respond hee...
This song was first heard when I was in Orlovschina 'Starry' summer camp. It was the song for the 'White dance' where a guy/girl asks their loved one to dance with them (or anyone else).
It is really sweet, and I still think it is. And everytime they played this song, I always smiled to myself and suddenly the feeling just went cuckoo. Just like when I heard 'Wish you were here'.
So, here it is 'When you're gone' by Avril Lavigne :)
I always needed time on my own I never thought I'd need you there when I cry And the days feel like years when I'm alone And the bed where you lie is made up on your side
When you walk away I count the steps that you take Do you see how much I need you right now?
Chorus: When you're gone The pieces of my heart are missing you When you're gone The face I came to know is missing too When you're gone All the words I need to hear to always get me through the day And make it OK I miss you
I've never felt this way before Everything that I do Reminds me of you And the clothes you left they lie on my floor And they smell just like you I love the things that you do
When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
We were made for each other Out here forever I know we were Yeah Yeah All I ever wanted was for you to know Everything I do I give my heart and soul I can hardly breathe, I need to feel you here with me Yeah
****
“If I never met you, I wouldn't like you. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't love you. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't miss you. But I did, I do, and I will.”
I'm missing my family in Ukraine but I also miss my family in Spore and Indonesia. I'm missing Ukrainian dishes but I also miss noodles and chili in Spore and Indonesia.
I'm getting crazy
Arghhh....
I'm reaching Spore soon... (it's 3.25pm, not 10am).
