MY MEMORIES
Wednesday, June 27, 2007
Hey hey!! Bloggie, I'm back again! ^o^ It's been about 2 weeks! Hehe.. Just came back from Indonesia on the 23rd of June! Well, on that day itself, I let my thoughts wonder about the wonders of the world. (I was bored during the 4-hours flight, mind you. Especially with the unfortunate fact that the family sitting beside me are rather.. Selfish? And reserved... Alright, maybe they weren't selfish but they were VERY reserved to themselves -_- *rolls eyes* So yeah, whatever!) Actually, there were a few times when I thought about this as well, but this time around, it really struck me that the world is really advancing in an awesome and cool way, yet "scary", too. I do not mean scary as in literally scary, but amazingly scary! It took me less than 3 hours to reach Jakarta, Indonesia from Singapore. It took me also less than 5 hours to reach Makassar and then Manado from Jakarta. And about 4 hours from Manado back to Singapore again! Looking back to the past, men took many many weeks, maybe, even months to cover 50 leagues or so. However, the modern world takes less than half a day to cover that much distance!
And enough about those things! They were just some random thoughts I had. Haha! Well, guess what?! I can now drive a car!!! ^o^ Hehe.. My certificate should be processed soon and my license may not be out yet but hey, I'm smooth in it, baby! Muahaha!! Need a chauffeur? Just holler! ^o^ But make sure that your car is not too big too XD Haha! Am not used to big beauties yet! Trucks, containers or such shall wait longer.. ^^;;
And then, many new shops have opened in Manado! Yep, just recently! Red Bean Restaurant, Fortissimo, and definitely more. People should really start visiting Indonesia more often, ya know. Not just Jakarta... That city, my hometown, is getting rather havoc. Going back to the smaller states shall serve your holidays well. =] So, go to Manado!! ^o^ hehe!
There was also this GM of a radio station who I met. It was such a cool encounter! I was introduced to him by an acquaintance of my mom's. Hehe... It was so cool. He asked me if I was interested in publishing-related things and I told him that I was most interested in those stuff, as some of you might have known. He said that it was perfect! Haha... Yeah, you guessed it! He offered me if I would like to be a DJ! How cool is that?! Sadly, I only met him a day before my flight back here. Sad sad! Guess I'm not fated for that..
For the other days, I trained the waiters and waitresses. I Trained Them, Not The Other Way Around, mind you. I trained them only in 2 sessions and they were pretty fun. Haha! Instead of having the usual stress-ridden course sessions, we joked around, laughed and practically enjoyed ourselves throughout the whole thing! =]] Haha! There was this incident when one of the waiters was waiting for orders to be taken and the placed his hands in front of him in a polite manner. My mom's acquaintance straight away asked him "what are ya blocking?" LOL! HAHA1 You must be smiling right now if you know what I mean... HAHA!
And For some other times, i went "shopping" with my mum. Got some new outfit and infit XD and a brand-new Guess watch to!! ^o^ wheee!! I'm so happyy!! =]] HEHE! Oh, this shopping experience is rather funny too. Hehe. My parents and practically everyone around me are always complaining about my looks. The way I dress - actually. They said that I wore males' clothings too much and insisted that I shall change my style as soon as possible. I do not mind their suggestions as long as nothing too drastic is being done. Anf guess what? In the shop, my mum kept on pointing onto some shirts from the males' section without realising it! I was laughing my heads-off there! XD HAHA!
There was also some old guy who I met. I was rather turned off by him. I mean, he's MUCH older than me and wanted to go out with me! What the hell! So, I thought that I would play with him... Well, I was about to. Not by going ahead with him, of course! I'll never do that! Not even over my dead body! Well, in Singapore, I met my aunt and consulted to her. She made me realised a few points which made me even more ill-filled more than EVER! Gosh! I was such a fool. Why did I want toy with someone who was obviously not of the same level and class as me? Haha. And so, I dismissed the thought of toying him and he did not make any moves too! ^o^ GREAT! MUAHAHHAHA!!
Hmm..Last two days, I went to Jenny's house. Met Larry, leslie and Clement too! ^^ Haha! Jenny said that she was so afraid that I wouldn't go cause there were only BOYS! HAHA! And she was scared that she would get killed! XD Anyway, got them some Menta. Teehee! Cute yaa!! XDXD Haha! And spidyman is in town , again. LOL! GAGAHAHAHA!
Oh yeah, something is wrong with our school! The guys like skinny jeans-like pants!!! O_O GOSH!! GAYS!!! ARRGHHHH!!
And in Jakarta, I went out with Isnu and Steffi most of the time. On other occasions, we went out with Rea and Leslie too. =D Hehe.. It was so cool! I mean, haha! We're friends from Singapore and we met again in Indonesia!! ^o^ WOO HOO!! Just like how Miranda and Wilona did! =D Teehee!!
We played bowling, bought J.co, went to Kelapa Gading, Megal Mall, Muara Karang Eaton and that's about it. Gosh, time sure flies really fast! I'm now in singapore for 7 and a half years already. Met Jenny and the others for almost 2 years already! Been with my new classmates for one and a half years as well! Grown older as well and have many friends who are growing out of their teenagehood and are diving into their adulthood. This is.. Scary! x_X
and yesh, bimbo! Hehe! I may realise my dream! gosh! Moniq will face her greatest nightmare! Lol! And I'll become feminine soon.. And maybe another person's nightmare may come true XD sorry man! Haha! But sometimes changes just take place. Hehe!
Today, I just went to Kinokuniya Takashimaya with Mir =D Hehe! They rhyme, don't they? XD After that, we went to Maestro Bistro and stayed there for quite some time. The manager there or supervisor or superior there was rather angry at me cause I actually caused some fire in the house XD HAHA! But nah.. It wasn't the fire that mattered, it was the smoke. x_X
And then Jenny and Eric joined us with the Chocolate Fondue. It was marvellous! not really the best I've ever had, but it was good enough ^^ Hehe! I feel bad too cause I caused for Novia and got her reprimanded by her superior.. :( I'm so sorry! and yesh! Jenny is smart! It's my nature to blame others XD wagaggaahha! And after that, we went to the Sheraton Hotel/Towers to take a look at the ballroom that Steffi was booking. I expected it to be SUPER big from the way she described it. However, it turned out to be smaller! It was about half or 2/3 of my imagination - small. Well, not REALLY small, but rather small. We then did some planning on the spot just now and played some game. There was this rhythm on the knocks games (i'm not sure what you call it) and the association game.
At anchorage, Jenny and I met with Joel at the swimming pool. We were there for about an hour. Teehee! And we're going to school together tomorrow!! ^o^ wheeee!! Teehee!! It took me sometime to bathe too. The water heater spoilt, great! Oh yeah, just now Joel went into the girls' toilet!! XDXD kikiki! =D Hahaha~ Alright then.. that's all for now! I'm rather sleepy ^^;
Oh yes, and I've not really done all my homework. Look at the time!! Shoot! Next time then.. Haha! I hope I'm not dead tomorrow. Oh yes, did I mention that I was forced into having my hair trimmed? I was so furious when the hair-dresser accidentally or purposely cut my fringe off! Freak! It became SHORT!!! ARRGHHH!! Well, the hair-dresser was apologizing to me.. and I thought, ok, I shall forgive him. It's not too much anyway. Thank god I stopped him JUST in time! -_-
Oh yeah, and Joel cut his hair again. Gosh! Haiz... Will try to appeal to the teacher(s) tomorrow to give us more time in tidying ourselves up! Oh yeah, I have not told you guys about my nail-polish incident! Haha! It was rather stupid but comical too XD GAGAHAHA!! ALRIGHT!! Gd nite!! =D

Oh yesh!! I didn't tell you guys that the inner part of my mouth was poked with a satay stick! Shucks!! It was painful!! Haha.. It felt like as though I had sore throat.. So yes, now I know that sort of feelings we're having when we're having a sore throat - Poked by a satay stick xD
Hmm hmm.. And today, I went to collect my ticket! I'm flying off, people! To my hometown =] Back in Indonesia ^^ Flight number: LH 0778 Date: 09June Departure: 1655 Terminal 2 Arrival:1735 Terminal 2 Haha! That's about it ^^ And then I went home and packed my bag with more clothings, rested and went off to Stephanie's early-birthday party ^^ It was fun at Say Cheezecake! We made lots of noise, practically the worst bunch of people in the whole entire restaurant xD Well, we were in the V.I.P room though XP TAHAHA Nonetheless, we were too noisy for the other customers! The room only had glass-walls after all XD They're not sound-proof! HUAHUAA
HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY STEPHANIE!!! =D
And also, I met Joelly just now under my block ^^ teehee~~ He "scared" me with the classic "BOO!" trick.. Haha! OH and he was panting and perspiring all over! Gosh... Learnt that he just came back from Vivo City. That's so sweet XD HAHA! Although the ultimate reason was actually to collect back his sheets of paper on our art assignment XD
Jenny came to my house too. And she's still here, by the way. Right there in my room... Waiting for me... She's gonna sleep over ^^ Haha! Chatted a lot just now... We really do think quite alike although not 100% alike, after all, humans are unique! Even though we have some (sometimes a lot) similarities here and there =]]
Alright then, shall end my post here tonight. I'm going off and I'm gonna miss Singapore, I guess and all my friends here!! ^^ See you guys sometime soon! In about 2 more weeks or so!! =]] HEHE! Byyeee

Oh, I forgot to mention in my previous post about how miserable my "name" in school is, huh. Well, he mentioned my name in THE room. With teachers, seniors and sir in there. Well, one word: WOW! Splendid! Now my nightmare is complete! How cool is that? Nothing can ever be cooler than that. Full stop. Period.
Today, I was supposed to go to school to help Fish and the others in the puppet show. However, I did not. Many things in our lives did not happen and we blamed ourselves but have you ever wondered why they turned out that way? Actually, they are blessings in disguise!
Freda was supposed to go out with her "god-family" but cancelled that and decided to go shopping with her friend who's having his birthday, which did not happen as well. Well, after all those downs, she met me! Teehee, thanks to the cancelled plans! ^o^ see how they're actually a blessing in disguise? Also, with the fact that I did not help out, miyanhae!!, I'm able to accompany her.. She was rather in need of help just now. Haha! Was glad too =] It has been such a long time since the last time we went out together...
However, I'm still most apologetic towards Steph and Stef!! I was supposed to go to the Sheraton with them today for the planning... But went to the Chevron instead... Gosh, they sounded alike x_x wad a fate! This is really fated...
Speaking of fate! Haha! Freda met someONE! Her fate ^o^ teehee just like how we met and made some new friends... Joel (in orange), Eugene (black), keng kiat (?) (Grey, blue), Jack (white), JD (brown), Edmund (stripe) and another guy... In orange, tall =/. Sorry, can't seem to remember the name(s) right now... Uhh what Jasper?? Or whatever... Haha! Now, Joel called me just now XD LOL haha!! What a fate!!!! =DD Um, actually that's not it. Rena asked me about Joel just as I reached home too. LOL now, that's what I call, WHAT A FATE!
Hmm those are not the only "events" that has been happening actually.. Many many many... Example, I was just speaking about Mrs Yang the other day and minutes later, I met her. I also spoke about Mal-onnie the other day, minutes later, she talked to me! XD Gosh.. Surprise surprise! They just can't seem to end ^^ Am loving life! (Umm better not say that too soon) There's also the time with Steffi and the others.. Coincidences happen almost everywhere, or are they not? Haha
Hmm.. And and Freda and I were called "the twins" just now... LOL cute xD but gee, we were also told this "what?! You two are bestfriends? Cannot be seen!" Hwahaha!! But they soon called us "the twins"... Huahaha!! Guess they finally found out, huh! XD oohhh we were playing basketball (bball) by the way... Yeah!! It's been ages!! Gosh!! Am soooo happy! What a feeling of nostalgia XDXD
OH! NO! NO more nostalgia!! My homework!! GAAAHHH DEAD!! I've not touched it! Have not done Monji's stuffs too!! Can't afford to waste time!! I better wake up early tomorrow or something!! ARRGHHH!!! X_X GOSSHHH!!!
Oh yeah, Joel, that Joel, has a crush on Freda. Haha we talked about it. Got the answer =] Hope our hypothesis is correct ^^ Umm.. This is NOT an experiment by the way... Hypothesis just sounds right and... Nice in this situation =D
Oh yeah! I created a logic too! It was created in SAFRA just now! ^o^ teehee tell me about how you feel about it!! =]]
Males do no understand females Because they're too stupid to understand; Females do not understand males Because males are too stupid to be understood.
Hahah!! How do you like that?? I think it's such a nice way of putting in logic. OH!! BY THE WAY!! Do not be offended by this, please. It was just a general way of putting things... So yeah... I am definitely not looking down on anybody, whatsoever OR boasting, whatsoever. that's it then for now ^o^ cyaa

Hmm I went out with Steph bebek and Steffi today. Gosh~~ Two st-efs at a go x_X haha they'll turn their heads together when u called out either one of them since their names sounded the same -_- haha which was why I called Steph bebek!! XDXD taha!
Nyway, went to the ishop too. While waiting for the girls, Steph and I chatted. Yeah, it's about the misunderstanding which occured in her life since who knows when... I hope that this matter will rest soon and that... Well, you know, that things will turn out just fine. Although I'm sure that they won't be able to treat each other like they used to, even I can't do that hikz!
Hmm.. A few days ago, on Sunday, I had tuition with Shen Lao Shi, as always. We were talking about humans' nature takes to this comprehension which I had to do for the holiday homework. (speaking of which, I haven't touched my hoiday assignments yet x_X gosh!! I'm digging my own grave!!) And then she pointed out my siblings' attitudes as well as mine and applauded me for being sensible. However, she also pointed out my minuses. I was really thankful to her ^^ cuz seriously, there was this point which I didn't really realise. Of course, I told her to point it out to me the next time I did so ^^ hehe I don't digest in people's words blindly you know xD So I gotta see the proove =D
And also, SomeBODY named Isnu had been weird eversince that day.. That fateful day. -____- C'mon man! Cheer up! I won't get angry over small matters and I just don't some things.. I'm such a bad friend in people's eyes... Sigh..
Bad bad Cindy! Bad friend! Bad friend!!! Sigh (_ _) Oh wells, anyway, we did the planning for Stef's party already. It's about.. 40% done ^o^ glad to say that!! And umm Steph's birthday is coming soon - party not the birthday itself XD Got the How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days DVD XD and oh shucks! I haven't returned Stef's DVD! Double sighs...
And we met our school's coach just now! Ex, that is. Alright then that's it for now! ^^ Hehe I had the sudden urge to watch LUG and CCS just now... I'm really into the old times nowadays xD gosh wonder why... OH! HAHA might have been thanks to Mal-Onnie to reminiscence them with XDXD HAHA! Recovered many long-lost memories XD gosh~~
Alright then, good night everyone!! Umm.. Morning ^^;

Friday, 1 June 2007 @ app. 3AM
Lately, I've not been updating about my life.. Well, I will be soon, I guess. Time will make me write again ^^ although I may not right now.. Some things have just been happening and I only be writing a lot of a mess if I don't get over them first.
First of all, this is the first time I ever stayed back in Singapore this late. Late as in not being in Indonesia right on the last day of school. Yeah, I'm always in Indo early haha! (Of course, this excludes my Primay 6 year. That's a special year XD)
Secondly, lots of things occured especially when it is regarding matters of the heart. Be it in our worklife, lovelife, entertainment life or whatever... Even schedules! Gosh what a pain in the neck they can be, sometimes!Sometimes, it gets rather annoying too when somebody just... Oh, I don't know! I'll just not elaborate on it in this blog. No use elaborating on it anyway.
Hmm... I do miss my primary school friends. A lot. Nah, I'm not saying that the friends I met in the recents years aren't great or something. They're great too! Of course!! Teehee!! My friends are ALL great!! =D It's just that.. You know, sometimes when you think back about the past, you really want to have those times back... People say that it's because of regrets. So, maybe, I do have regrets. Or is it something else?? A sense of unsatisfaction with myself?? That must be the answer.. Haha! Oh, whatever... Thinking about the past too much is not good for health XD Teehee! Shall just look forward to the future and make the best out of everything else! =]] hehe
And um some people do know about my... Umm how should I put this.. Fear. It seems to get more real as each day pass and some people are just not helping. Well, of course, they think that they are helping but the truth is that they are not. It's not their fault, really. (Although some of them are REALLY in fault XD but there people are not important anyway =P) They wanted to help. Sigh.
Oh yeah, some time ago, a few words were mentioned to me. Now, these words are not just 'any-other-words'. They are actually words with meanings that may be as deep as the ocean and it is true that many of us know them well. However, they are still as confusing as ever...
Friends - Bad friend, good friend, just a friend and best friend. It's amazing that we, human beings, actually catogarize our friends into so many different catogaries. The above mentioned are just some examples. To some, friends are just "things". Pretty harsh, no? But to them best friends are precious. It's sweet, very. But as always, confusing, in a way or another. Especially with the saying which goes " An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind." So yeah, "friend" is a very frightening word indeed.
Ego and charisma - It's true that egoism boosts your charisma but referring ego=charisma, is wrong in my dictionary. To me, a person is not really successful if he/she does not have a certain level of ego. I think that ego should be referred as self-esteem. So yeah... Too much ego is not good but whatever it is, I have to say that I have quite a high level of pride which means that my level of ego is kinda high too, I guess. That doesn't mean that I'm hopelessly conceited or something. I do humble my too; I just don't eat the humble pie. If this is bothering anyone... I apologize. There is nothing much that I can do, really. Maybe I'll change in the future but for the time being, I'm happy with who I am ^^
Hmm hmm.. And I don't think there are any other words which struck me hard anymore. It's just that.. OH YES! There is! Principle(s)..I am sure that many of us live our days by principles. Examples: A man may pick fights with other people but not females or you may be a heavy drinker but will never allow yourself to get drunk. Now, principles are actually essential in our lives. After all, they determine what kind of a person we will become. Although, of course, some principles which we created for ourselves may need some touch-ups but I believe that most of them were created based on.. What we believe in! Sometimes we may even do things against our principles due to some factors in our lives. That is definitely inevitable. Hence, again, I'm very sorry, my friend. I guess liking me is not as simple as before now since some scars have been left behind ^^
Anyway, I went to Steffi's house today.. Haha! It was pretty fun ^^ Initially, we were at Cine. She was watching POTC 3 with her friends and I was at the Es Teler, eating roasted bread and drinking a glass of teh tarik. She also learnt that we are able to charge our handphone batteries from me XD TAHA! Went to settle my bill and off we went to her house. Met her kosmate, Jovita and her cousin(?) Ernest.. ko(?XD) Really friendly guys =D teehee! Gotta say that today is at last a really happy day of mine after quite some time now! ^^ Haha oh yeah, on our way back to Cine just now, met with ko Fandy and.. His friends. Don't think ko Erwin was there just now XD taha! Oh! I borrowed some comic books, Roller Coster Tycoon3 and A Series of Unfortunate Events (FINALLY!!! =D=D) from Steffi just now XD TAHAHHA!! =D Lovely days ahead of me!! Umm.. I hope! And I'm currently watching Princess Lulu =]] hehe Well, I realise that I've watched it before, actually XD haha I didn't watch a full series in the past, of course. So watching it again won't hurt!! Hope that she will end up with her brother!! x_X huikz!!
Hehe alright! That's it for now!! Haha! Oh yeah, speking of which.. I just updated about my day! LOL Which means that my days are already getting brighter, huh? *crosses fingers*
"The real test of friendship is: can you literally do nothing with the other person? Can you enjoy those moments of life that are utterly simple?" - Eugene Kennedy
"If you are a person of great charisma, as Bergman is, people demand from him a lot of things which he probably doesn't have. That is a terribly frustrating situation." - Max von Sydow
"Personality is essential. It is in every work of art. When someone walks on stage for a performance and has charisma, everyone is convinced that he has personality. I find that charisma is merely a form of showmanship. Movie stars usually have it. A politician has to have it." - Lukas Foss

Ahh another day passed and I collected my report book today... Was such a tiring day x_X after all, I didn't sleep. I only took a 2-hour nap but gee I wasn't THAT tired just now but well, I am right now. Just finished watching A series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snickets. It really is a nice movie. For those of you who has not watched it yet, do watch. It may contain too much fantasy to your liking, though, but overall I gotta say that's a good movie. The ending was really sweet. The movie concentrates on the value of a family and it really moved me. Cause it truly showed me that no matter how unfortunate you are, you are actually kinda fortunate already, in a way or another.
So, count your blessings folks! There's really no use moaning all your life over something that may not belong to you and may NEVER come into your life =] Instead, innovate and live a happy life! ^^ That's it for now.. I really gotta sleep x_X nights everyone!
