Can't wait to see the result.

Going to Johor Bahru as first timer

Yesterday, marley and me.. no no my fiance and me went to Johor Bahru to renew his SVP. Thanks God (yes folks, I give thank now and then) that everything went smoothly.
The trip was also okay, not like what I imagined with all the horrible news about the new check point. No traffic jam at all and the bus queue was not long.

To sum it up:
1. Alight at kranji MRT station and go to the bus station OPPOSITE the mrt station.
2. Wait for bus no 170 or 160.
3. Alight at Woodland Checkpoint
4. Queue (short)
5. Go to the bus station inside the check point and wait for bus no 170 or 160 again
6. Alight at CIQ
7. Another queue. This one was very long aarrghh...Oops almost forget, grab the white paper and fill in the form. I will suggest to the traveler to bring your own pen, so you can fill in the form while queuing. Use another person back as 'alas nulis' if he/she doesn't mind. Just joking
8. Voila, arrive already. There is a mall, call City Square that's linked with the checkpoint building. Just follow the information, you'll get there. PS: the map directory for that mall is confusing.
9. Eat Portuguese Chicken and Egg Tart, Trying to find a cute, cheap, short heel sandal at Padini (not successful although they're having end year clearance I think, Ladies or shoe lovers you should go), Watch Australia (boring...but Mr. Jackman handsome as always), buy cigarettes, bath soap (arrghh so cheap) and Shi Lin (taiwan snack)
10. Back to CIQ and queue again (short one)
11. Took bus 170
12. Alight at Woodland check point and another queue (short one also)
13. Took SMRT bus 950
14. Alight at kranji station and headed home.

Gossip Girl

FYI: Nope, I am not I repeat am not talking about me! Me != gossip girl okay.

I love watching movie, especially sitcom or television series. No I am not talking about sinetron or telenovela or soap opera. I'm talking about friends, desperate housewives, grey's anatomy, ally mcbeal, supernatural, smallville, heroes and of course 24!

Currently I'm only following 1 local series 'The Little Nyonya' aired from Mon -Fri at 9 PM on channel 8 and Gossip Girl. I know it's kinda late to follow a gossip girl just now, but since all the production are stopped during chrismast holiday, there is no movie I can watch :(
What will I do without my movies........huhuhuhu...

My fiance keeps asking the same question "Apa sih bagusnya?" "Yaela gossip girl lagi" hahaha
The answer is simple I have no other movie I can watch and Chace Crawford is hot.

The reason why I watch The Little Nyonya even though there is no hot guy in there, it's because of the peranakan story. You know peranakan = delicious food = 'masak-masakan' movie and I love anything related masak-masakan. So 'klop' deh

Well, for you all television series lovers, the television series I mentioned above will be back on January 2009 and Mr. Bauer will start kicking ass on January also.

See you soon Jack!

Korean Food in Singapore is delicious!

One of my friend told me once, that Korean food in Singapore is delicious...
She used to have it and she missed it when she back in Malaysia (yup, you know who she is now :P)
Encouraged with her advice and since she and I share similar taste in food (I guess Kwetiaw Pontianak is an exception) plus the picture looks so yummy, I bought Korean Ramen at Hougang Mall as my dinner last week

When the ramen came, I was a bit curious. Ngg... It didn't looks like the usual ramen I used to eat at Ajisen or Kinotaki.. but well both are Japanese, so, me, a Korean Food newbie didn't think it much.

After I got back to our table, I told my boyfriend about my curiosity. He looked at it at glance, took a sip from a hot-boiling-ramen soup and confirming me, "Yep, it is an instant korean noodle"

Glegar..... it's a 4 SGD food and I got an instant noodle? Geh!
Anyway, since I missed the Indonesian food soooo much and the noodle tasted like Indomie, so I ate it happily.

So, yeah.. in short, the 'Korean Food' in Singapore is delicious.
Still trying to eat the real one though....

Things that I never thought I would miss

Yes, I know it has been forever since I create a new post here.
Well, in my defense, my life has been very hectic in the last few days.
I jump from one client to another every two days, trying not to get lost. My boyfriend said i can not read map. I have to 'get in' the map like Joey in order to read the map correctly. And at night I still busy looking for cheap-nice-new-fully furnished-near mrt and food hall HDB to rent.
Until now, still haven't found it. So, if any of you got one, please please please pretty-please-with-sugar-on-coat let me know.

It's only been two weeks now, so I'm still at adjusting phase. Especially for the food. I knew that I would miss Indonesian food, but to be honest I never thought I would miss the rice too. OMG. I thought okay, singapore is an advanced country, the food material will be great. I dont know how they did it, but I ate a lot of I repeat a lot of weird smell rice. :( I love rice. For me, even an ordinary side dish will taste great if accompanied with a bowl of warm nice rice.

Number two is MILO.
MILO is my favourite milk brand. In here, the milo is tasteless.

Number three is skinless bread

And to complete the list, I miss all of my 'sarapan food'
- bubur lemot
- ropang boplo
- indomie abang cekatan
- mie yono
- mie ayam boplo

huhuhu......

that's me, the girl who now eats plain porridge and preserved lettuce as breakfast on daily basis, crying.....

My Precious

Duuuuuuh.....
After a long and seems never ending packing, last night me and my fiance 'gotongan' my as-heavy-as-killer-whale-baby boxes.
What the h*ll did I put in that boxes?
O oh....... I remember!
My preciousssssssss.................ssss....sssss...

• Harry Potter Book set
• Namaku Miiko Book set
• Tepi Air Book Set
• Mallory Towers Book set
• Time Limit Book set

xixixixi....

Sorry dear... good exercise for you and your tummy though kekekek...
I bet you slept like a baby last night...
I did!

Gehh..............

Just read an article at detik.com soal peraturan baru disebuah negara. Peraturan yang menyatakan bahwa yoga itu terlarang untuk dilakukan oleh penganut agama tertentu, dengan alasan bahwa dalam yoga itu terkait praktik-praktik agama tertentu yang bisa merusak iman penganut agama lain.

Sebagai pecinta yoga (yang walaupun bodoh tidak bisa-bisa melakukan gerakan dengan sempurna sampai membuat instruktur frustasi), saya tidak habis pikir kenapa ada orang yang bisa terpikirkan membuat peraturan semacam ini. Selama beryoga, tidak pernah terpikirkan sedikitpun bahwa gerakan-gerakan yang dilakukan itu merupakan ajaran dari agama tertentu. Yang dipikirkan cuma "Oh God, buset pegel banget. How long do I have to stay in this position? Ketarik nih arrrrgggh. Help!"

Yoga yang selama ini saya ketahui dan praktekan (once again ini pendapat amatiran) cuma gerakan olahraga biasa plus pernafasan. Tidak ada tuh meditasi yang mendalam dll dll. Cuma ada cooling down after, yang harusnya biasa dong, aerobik aja melakukan hal itu. Huaaaah.... exhale.

Padahal belum lama saya juga membaca bahwa negara ini melarang anak perempuan berperilaku tomboy. Alasannya simpel karena takut itu akan mengarah ke arah mencintai sesama jenis. Gubrak...
Give me a break... walaupun 1 jenis khan tetep aja ada yang perannya lebih feminim dan yang lebih tomboy. Jgn men-samarata-kan gitu dong. For example, Portia de Rossi khan cantik, feminim, hot blonde girl. Tapi toh tetep dia marry Ellen, not a guy. Kalau memang sudah panggilan hati mau gimana lagi?

Beberapa bulan sebelumnya juga dikeluarkan larangan agar perempuan tidak mengenakan lipstik merah menyala. I mean, what????! Apa salahnya pake lipstick merah kalau memang bagus dan cocok? Kayaknya tidak ada cewe sebagai pemakai yang berniat menggunakan lipstick yang membuat dia tampak lebih jelek or looks like a whore/slut/tramp/hooker. Namanya juga make up! Suppose to make us girls prettier. Up people up! Not make down.

Kenapa dijaman yang pendidikan dan teknologinya sudah semaju saat ini, masih saja terdapat orang-orang yang memilih untuk menggunakan peraturan yang ketat untuk mengontrol masyarakatnya. Bukankah seperti seorang anak kecil yang ingin mengambil pasir sebanyak mungkin untuk membangun kastil impiannya dipantai, yang belajar bahwa semakin kencang dia menggenggam, semakin banyak pasir yang berjatuhan disela-sela jari mungilnya? yang belajar bahwa dengan mengendurkan cengkraman justru dapat menampung pasir lebih banyak.

New habit

I love reading. I really do. My parents told me once that I started to open a magazine (even though it was upside down) when I was 2 years old only.
I read what ever, but as I grow older I tend to focus my reading in stories like novel, history, fiction, mythology etc etc. Hehehe...

But lately, thanks to the global crisis, I have to set my sauron-eyes to read daily currency rate at detik.com. So, in short, from couple days ago I was officially a detik.com and kompas.com reader on daily basis.

I don't know if this just a random coincidence, but there are so many interesting stories happen. Usually they just posted 'traffic jam news, flood news, and other not-eye-catching news.
But now... hmmm.....interesting
Well..well well....
Gonna post what I thought as interesting news later folks.

Backbreaker....

These last few days were very backbreaking for me..
Simultaneous meeting combined with packing all my sentimental-useless-crap of stuff really wore me out.
Huah....
Looking forward for the days where all I need to do are daily chores and watching movies...

Very Bad Service at Samara Sunda

Today I had lunch at Samara Sunda located in WTC Basement. It's drizzled all day, so all of the restaurants are fully booked, except for Samara Sunda. Yes, it was crowded but four of us were able to secure comfortable seat.

After taking forever to have our order taken, we finally ordered 2 rice (1 without 'bawang goreng'), 1 avocado juice, 1 ayam madu (paha) and ayam bakar bumbu rujak (dada)
Tunggu punya tunggu.....
10 minutes later

waiter-boy 1: "Mbak, avocado juicenya abis, mo diganti apa?"

Since I had my mineral water I said no to the waiter

next 25 minutes

waiter-boy 1:"Pak, ayam madunya abis yang paha, adanya dada gimana?

mico:"Oke deh gpp"

7 minutes later

waiter-boy 1 while bringing my rice with 'bawang goreng' :"Pak, ternyata ayam madunya abis, adanya ayam bumbu rujak, mau diganti tidak?"

mico: "ga ah ganti nasi bakar ajah"

me: "pak khan saya pesennya ga pake bawang goreng"

waiter-boy 1: "oh gak pake ya bu, sebentar yah"

3 minutes later the nasi bakar was arrived

another 5 minutes my rice(now without bawang goreng) plus ayam bumbu rujak (paha) were arrived

me: "loh mas khan saya pesannya dada"

waiter-boy 1:"oh pesennya dada ya bu. sebentar ya bu"

2 minutes later

waiter-boy 2:"bu, ayam bumbu rujaknya yang dada abis. adanya tinggal paha"

me: "loh gimana sih mas. saya barusan liat mas masih bawa-bawa ayam bumbu rujak yang dada pas anterin nasi, kok sekarang abis?!!"

waiter-boy 2:"baru dikasih tau bu abis, adanya tinggal ini".

me: "yang lain ada yang dada ga?"

waiter-boy 2:"yang ada ayam bakar madu dada"

me: "loh gimana sih katanya tadi ayam bakar madunya abis sekarang bilangnya ada"

waiter-boy 2:"oh gitu ya bu, jadi gimana bu?"

me, irritated and hungry: "ya udah deh gimana lagi"

we ate peacefully and then the bill came.... and the avocado juice was included in the bill!!. so I called the waiter boy 2 and said: "mas kok masih ditagih avocadonya?"

waiter-boy 2:"loh ga jadi pesan ya bu?"

upset me with high-pitch voice: "loh yang bilang avocadonya abis khan kalian gimana sih?!!!!!!"

waiter-boy 2:"oh sebentar ya bu"

gggggggggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

very very upseting service. what made me upset the most was there was no one word apology came from their mouths. they just say it casually like "okay this is the only food left, you wanna take it or not". huh!
it's too bad i could find the contact number to complaint. ggggrrrrrr.....

this is the logo of the restaurant

Making a Leap

Last Friday, I submitted my resignation letter, and after being postponed by my manager (collaborated with my division manager), my manager finally has given up and wished me for the best.
I haven't met my division manager yet, the truth is I'm avoiding her.. ppsstttt...
Worrying that I'll change my mind because of her persuasion (with deadly force of course kekekek).
I even haven't told my successor to be about it. I'm afraid that she would tell her boss (definitely) and then her boss would tell Ibu and mbak Tini. *bakal mati kutu*

Now I feel a bit relieve but not fully, thanks to my manager who assured me that my exit interview will be done by Babeh SEF. Duhh I'll be dead for sure.
Cross my finger and pray so he will be very-very super duper busy after he gets back from Amrik.

The truth is, it was filled with mixed emotion and a lot of consideration before I took a step to my manager desk and informed him that I want to resign from this company. But I thought that this is it. This is the time to make a leap. Now that everything is falling into its place, my outstanding projects are closing down, my projects are never been this few, and also my marriage preparation is almost finish. The only bad timing is the damn crisis.

Soon, I'll be very busy with packing (lousy at it) and another typical moving stuff. My poor fiance will have a bad time (I guarantee it) in helping me packing my what-he-called-useless-garbage stuff. I love that stuff. Let it go :D

So if you want to donate boxes or give me tips on how to move to another country effectively, just shoot. I'll hear ya...

Hamilton snatches glory

I just knew this afternoon, after my boyfriend, the 'crazy-f1-biggest-fans' told me that Hamilton won the world champion after a tense-dramatic-last lap, when he finally overtook Glock and crossed the line at fifth. And that making him the youngest world champion in history. My friend even said that Massa was crying.
Hamilton, still behind Glock when Massa finished his lap, but Glock didn't change his tyres even though the rain was falling, and that help open Hamilton's chance to win the title.

Sorry guys, can not understand this euphoria.
For me, it's just a wasting fuel, money, and dangerous non-sport.

Got Irritated

I got irritated this morning. It's been quite a long time since I got irritated this easily. The reason is very simple, because the client, the sales director, was asking questions repeatedly and yet he didn't give us enough chances to answer those.
I hate that kind of people!!
I mean, what the point of asking, if you don't want to listen the answer???
Before asking, I think the questioner should be prepare that he/she must spend enough time to hear the answer or else just hold the question for yourself
Huh!
Bawel, brisik, nanya mulu, bolot, ngeyel....
