the funny conversation

X : you're not going back to manila?
me : no...maybe i want to....i want to see cebu
X : you've never been there?
me : no...didn't have the chance, it's quite far from the place i stayed, a little bit out of manila
X : so you like singapore better?
me : of course, i miss the food though
X : you're not going to visit your parents there?
me : where?
X : manila
me : my parents are not there ??
X : so...you're not from philippines?
me : no...what makes you think i am?
X : hahaha....somebody told me that you're from manila,
and you can answer questions about phil?
me : hahaha....my last project before i came to singapore was somewhere a little bit out of manila
X : oh. ic...so where do you come from?
me : let's just say i am citizen of the world :) ( don't want to bother to explain where i come from :P  )

for the first time....

*
for the first time i stepped in that place....
it was a nice place....the place where should had been 10 years ago....can't believe it, the same emotions was still there. the same emotion on the day i found out i couldn't go....tought the feelings were gone, but i was wrong...totally wrong......
the questions were still there...why??? what did i do wrong? was it a curse? why did bad people win??
it was still my biggest regret in life
*

*

for the first time after more than a year...

i felt the freshness of a swimming pool...ahaha....

the last time was over a year ago in a hotel somewhere in a jungle. yesterday was at my friend's place, a very nice place where she stayed alone for the long weekend.

*

*
for the first time after 10 years....
i joined in the full ritual this week.
i came back after so many years, to say thank you, to fulfill my promise, to ask for one thing : please don't take it back from me..

*

tired....

i'm tired....
of your pathetic behave...
i'm tired....
of the same problem over and over again...
some friends that prove themselves that they aren't.
if you are an adult, people expect you to act like one....

i made my promise that things like this will stop at the point i realized it. and yes...it will stop here.

mix updates

for the 2nd time in my life, i was drunk! the first time was caused by a big disappointment many years ago, this time was caused by too much fun and excitement. can't say i'm proud of it. hopefully that's the last time....but as usual, i learned something from it : a guy's look is just a first impression, the rest is personality. when most guy will take advantage of a drunk girl, this guy made me a cup of tea! so sweet... he had 2 drunk girls in his room, but didn't even try to take any advantage of the situation. all i can think is...how can i resign after this kind of things happened? :P

went to KL again, very short trip this time. as usual, short trips take more energy. came back very tired....but the annual kick off was quite fun.
click here for photos

will approve requests to see my private photos. i just have to lock it up to protect them from some pathetic people....

next event coming up :
pepi is coming this weekend.....see you here, gal!
it show at suntec convention center

need to becareful of what i wish for....

the journey of life is full of learning process, each and every day.....
wishes come and go....
can't deny that it's a great feeling to have a wish come true, and at some point...don't know how to be thankful anymore....
but sometimes, what i wished for is really something not important, something when it comes true....i realized that it's not that important.
sometimes......the beatles song was true "mother mary whispered the words of wisdom : let it be". i don't always believe that it's the words of wisdom; i want to fight and get what i want, but really, sometimes it's true, just let it be....
since last year, all my wishes come true, one by one.....
most of them are the greatest miracle for me, great travel time, job changes, and everything feels much better.....and i got another wish come true....
i used to have certain criteria for a man to be my bf. now ....i found the guy with those criteria, but realized that it wasn't so important, i realized that i'd rather to have someone else....yeah...this one is a good catch, but too bad....no chemistry at all :(
huahahaha, complicated me.......
-----quoted from a friend's blog - and i agree, but i need the chemistry too.... :
...for me there's no such a true love...yang ada adalah sebuah proses panjang untuk bersama2 mau bertumbuh saling mencintai menerima segala kekurangan dan kelebihan...
-----
i have to be more careful with my wishes.....coz lately i'm soooo lucky....
anyway.....i'm taking leave tomorrow, as my boss said enjoy yourself before your "uncle" comes back...hahaha....

monday blue

headache....tired...sleepy....lucky nothing much to do at the office today, another lazy day.
another lessons i got this weekend : never go out two nights in a row! i will last with no energy after that.
went out late on friday night, still okay on the saturday morning.
saturday evening.....we had a birthday party in a colleague apartment, it was supposed to be a simple birthday party, just some dinner, birthday cake, some snacks....but then....it turns out into a casino, completed with the casino chips and a bar!!!
ben was our bartender for the night, he made very nice drinks. dunno what they were called, but all very nice ones. orange juice with vodka, pineapple juice with coconut rum, red bull with some other liquor....
and gambled all night...till morning!! yeah, the party last till 4 am. played cards and mahjong. i have no idea how they still have the energy to go to the airshow 6 hours after that.....

Enough time.....

sometimes i complain that i don't have enough time for myself, don't have enough time to do my jobs, don't have enough time to do this and that.
these few days, i have enough time to do anything.
enough time to browse, read, shop.

spen tlots of time in the various networking sites and found out that i have missed lots of things.
i found an old friend...
we were very closed in secondary school before we lost contact and finally found her yesterday, she's  married, has a daughter. nice to see you again even it's only in a virtual world, my dearest friend.
and......found some sites belongs to my relatives and realized that i have a new niece and nephews, some of them...i didn't even know they were born! 3 boys and a girl....welcome to the world :)

enough time to shop...
i'm not a shopping addict, i used to shop only when i need stuffs. i hate shopping with ladies, they spend lots of time just to choose one item, and after they pick something, they start to compare and choose another thing.....uh...wasting time. but this time, as i had no idea what to do after work, i walked down from bugis to orchard. last day of spring sale, 70% discount! i didn't mean to buy anything, but there was a nice jacket....down to $29 from $139. i thought....umm.....why not?  :P

bored

bored at the office.
downloaded some mp3s. got a few songs from piglet big movie. piglet? yeah....childish...hehehe....but all disney's movies come with good songs, always love them.
reading jakarta undercover 2 - karnaval malam. finished the first one, sex and the city. i've downloaded all 3.
new project? will come soon....don't know when, don't want to think about it. it won't be a nice one.
i know....after surviving 10 whole months in the jungle, i think i can survive almost anywhere (almost a year in the middle of nowhere, without shopping malls or movies, no entertainment at all except swimming and golf / driving range, padang food covered in chili....i survived by donuts, ice cream, instant noodles and creals!!).

this one won't be that bad. it won't be jungle with no good food at all.....but with possibility of surrounded by indian food....yucks! should i do this or not? will look good on my cv, but not for my stomach!! but yes, the luxury of life i will get, nice apartment, nice swimming pool, finish work earlier....
getting ready to move out, i guess..................ah...dunno!

The Colour of Spring

went out to sentosa and cingay parade of dreams.
sentosa was so crowded, maybe because it's the last day of the spring flower.
took some photos : SentosaSpringFlower

and then in the evening : cingay parade of dreams, around esplanade - city hall.
the interesting one is the f1 show. so we tried to find the right spot to see it.
we got the front row, nobody was blocking the view.
but.....woooshhhhhhh, so fast, hardy can see anything.
then my friend and i looked at each other and burst into laugh.
that was it?? huahaha.....now i know, it's not worthed watching f1 live. i swear, on tv is much much better.
and when it came back and spin right under our nose, we can't see clearly,
the dust and smoke was around the car, and in split seconds it's gone again!
huahaha....

happy valentine

february 14th, valentine's day....

well, since i'm not in any relationship now, i dedicate this for those guys who had ever coloured my days with love....

thanks for those days, even the last one ended a long while back, i'm glad we're still friends, and you guys still have time to see me when you were in singapore. yeah, it was only a quick lunch during office hour, but still, it was nice to see you guys again.

our relationship didn't work out as we expected, but i will never regret any of them. being in long distance and confusing relationship taught me that love is not enough for a relationship. it takes love and commitment, and it was great when jealousy and ego are put aside. it also taught me how to handle the weirdest situation ever.

being with a very honest guy taught me to see and understand guys' world. i know one of you think i learned too much! hahaha.....but you can't blame me for being such a good learner, rite? :P

happy valentine all! nice to know you

chinese new year's eve

i'm still sitting at the office on chinese new year's eve, half day.
i don't like the situation, not because i have to come to the office, but the air had been bad for the last few days.
i'm in the middle of a fight between a man an a woman, pointing at each other, e-mails are flying in and cc to me. they were pointing at each other's nose and even shouting each other on the phone or face to face. sigh....and i am in between those two. i really don't like this kind of situation.

before anyone get the wrong idea....no, it's not any personal matters, it's about work. i know who's right and who's wrong, but it's not about right or wrong. as consultants, we always have issues to solve. i really think that everyone involved should calm down, put their minds together to solve the issue rather than pointing at each other, it doesn't worth the time at all! i really don't understand how this guy can be a consultant with this kind of attitude. "mummy's favorite little boy" type shouldn't be a consultant in the first place.

thank god i still feel i have enough patience. yet, the pm told me that this was the first time he saw me raising my voice, but he understand my situation. most of the emails are cc to him also. yeah, i hate fighting. i never had a really big fight with anyone, not even boyfriends as long as i can remember.

149 shots in less than half an hour

149 shots, but none of them is excellent. only a few shots can be categorized as not bad.....
hmmm, so i see. my skill dropped very bad when i was there, but my mind was somewhere else, and my heart was also somewhere else.
anyway,
those that can be categorized as "not so bad" can be seen here.

the salads of my days

salads? yeah, coz salads is mixed of lots of things, veggie, fruits, dressings, sometimes prawns, chickens, and the most important thing for me : cheese!!

my days for couple of weeks are just like salads, mixed of different things.

sitting at the office most of the time, go to client site for some meetings and support a few time. all project are postponed till march coz of chinese new year. our chinese new year dinner is also postponed till feb 19th coz lots of people taking leaves starting tomorrow.

sitting at the office is quite boring, sit there for nothing, just download anything i like, reading e books, watching movies in my laptop, listening to musics, uploading more and more photos here... but lunch time could be fun, we can go to somewhere further, like suntec....for a few hours!

i was browsing some friend's website, and this music is plugged  in  her website. very nice voice, i really love it, so i started looking for the song, and  plugged it into my friendster web.  it's called 'your love', very sweet voice, surprisingly they're indonesian (surprise because i don't even know they're exist! and the song is in english).

i got a friend coming and stayed with me last weekend, we went out and have fun out there. i know somebody out there is jealous coz he was stuck with his work meanwhile we're having fun...heheheh...

my short holiday to hong kong is also canceled coz my friend's project is also postponed. supposed to be today till tuesday...so sad :(

my eyes caught two good looking guys lately, both are very tall and looks smart (my type!). one is someone i know from work, we went out twice, both after dinner parties. he's cute, stylish, talkative, very funny, we laughed all night. he called me couple of times (for work though, hahaha, poor me).
the other one is a friend, we hardly meet each other. he's also talkative, quite funny but a little bit more serious i think. he's cute, but i didn't realized it when we first met, because the first time we were introduced i didn't really pay attention on him, he was busy with his own business and i was rushed to go to some place else. as i said, we didn't see each other often, but why my heart beats faster every time i saw him? crushed? definitely not love coz i don't know him very well...

funny things also happened at  work. some indo and chinese guys trying to improve their english. lots of funny things there, such as 'the lady is very tender', female chicken (hen) became 'lady chicken', drawer is someone who draw (coz driver is someone who drive!) huahaha....lucky they didn't think that butterflies are butter that flies!

The Celebration of Spring and Love

- China town - Jan 21st  2008

got back from the office early, purposely went to china town, alone.
i came too early for a night photography, so i walked around for a while, waiting for the sun set....and when the sun is set, another life begins!

china town lite up was pretty, lots of unique stuffs, waxed duck, lanterns, lion puppets, and lots lots of face of my childhood boyfriend (mickey mouse) with his ever lasting girlfriend minnie.
lots of flowers, felt like valentine in certain spots. hey....is this a celebration of love or spring? hmmm....maybe they're celebrating both at the same time :)

will be updated coz i'm going there again!

Love will find a way

i always believe that love will find a way....
two of my ex colleague are getting married in early feb.
i know both of you from the same place.
my first taste of indo domestic flight was with the groom-to-be, it was his first week with the company.
still remember how i shared the room with the bride-to-be, complaining about life, love, and work. we all hated that place, but that place...the jungle, in the middle of nowhere, actually became a memory of their love journey.
congrats guys! can't be there on your wedding day, but i'm happy for both of you.
me..? a love story had ended with a happy ending couple years ago, a new journey hasn't been started, but valentine is coming...who knows.. :)

my morning bar

i took a bus this morning to go to a client site.
this bus looks the same from outside, but the interior is so different.
it has white chairs and sofa (yes, sofa! in the bus!) with dark red carpets.

managed to take a few shots with my pda cam.

another promo of uniquely singapore?

http://picasaweb.google.com/myra.susanti/UniquelySingapore

luck or blessing?

i don't know the difference...both are referring to good things. i don't want to bother to find out...but i believe both are exist. don't know which one is happening to me....but i feel good...don't have to leave singapore, yay!
i always love traveling, but since i'm here, i'm picky now...love to travel to good places only, not just anywhere...hehehe....

crossing my fingers

it's funny how life goes on...down, up, down again. having a problem, i might have to leave singapore for a while....very soon.
lots of discussion going on among us...the consulting manager, myself and the hr person...all of us hope the worst case scenario will never happen.
crossing my fingers...wishing for the best to happen...

life or career?

i went to sentosa again last tuesday night, just to watch song of the sea. i was expecting less crowd so i can take photos comfortably, but i was totally wrong, still crowded, not as bad as weekends, but still crowded. ( photos here http://picasaweb.google.com/myra.susanti/SongOfTheSea).
went out late on working days? hehehe, yeah, can't believe it either. i did it sometimes, but this time is really unbelievable, a day after project go-live, i can be in harbour front  at 6! hehehe....

yeap, they pay me more to do less job, but now i'm involved in reviewing and firing people. recruiting people is always easy, people are always happy, but when it comes to firing someone...i'd rather not, really. but again, what can i say if someone is not qualified enough for the job and effecting the work performance of my whole team?
i will never want to cover for him or her by saying they're okay and finally end up doing all the job myself.
i kicked a guy out of the project last month. and i will need to do it again very soon, probably tomorrow.

dunno where i will be next week, the project is over by end of this week. a project manager offered me to join his project, a big project, long term one. i will be involved in project management. good challenge for me, will look good on my cv too. i would've say yes if only it's not that far in the west area. away from home, away from the city. i will be back to my old life, work-home-work-home, no life at all, no more movies or malls as i will be back home very late in the evening and leave very early in the morning, no more walking around the city after work.

getting myself a new place nearby will be the same as the west area is very quiet, i know because i've lived there during my first month here, and this time it's even worse, further than clementi.
maintaining two places will be very very nice, staying in the city for two or three days and staying in the west for the rest of the week, but financially it's not wise at all!! (not to mention singapore property rent is very high!)

can life and career be synchronized?  getting a steady boyfriend who lives in the city will solve the problems...huahahahaha......(laughing at myself for the crazy idea).

Deja vu

is the experience of feeling sure that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously (an individual feels as though an event has already happened or has repeated itself). The experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity, and also a sense of "eeriness", "strangeness", or "weirdness". The "previous" experience is most frequently attributed to a dream, although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience "genuinely happened" in the past. Déjà vu has been described as "remembering the future." The experience of déjà vu seems to be very common; in formal studies 70% of people report having experienced it at least once.
- above is taken from wikipedia -

70% people experienced it at least once?? seriously? I had it very often recently.

strike one
My first working day in Singapore I had to go to a client..DKB. What was that company? I didn't know at that time, but later that day I found out that it was just another company under DKSH, same as my previous project in Phil.

strike two
I'm the one who went to KL for the technical handover sessions...same company, same meetings, same people, same airlines, same hotel!

strike three
A team of programmer asked me to help for a few days in SJX project. So I helped them without knowing what company we were working on. As I read the project guidelines...hey...it seems very familiar! And later that day I found out that it was just another company under RGMI group! Lucky I was there only for one day and I didn't have to go to the client's site.

strike four
Two years ago I quit my first job after 4 months and joined the consultant firm. Last month I resigned after 4 months of employment....with one month notice, made me worked for them 5 mths in total.

strike five
The new company created me a new e-mail id about 3 weeks ago, but I've just checked it this morning. I opened directly from the web.....it was SQUIRREL mail!!!
exactly the one IMC consulting used!

what's next? hmmm....overseas assignment within a week notice? hehehe, wouldn't mind if it's a nice place!

anyway, new year's photos uploaded here :

happy new year!

happy new year!

3.5 hours ago, the year of 2007 ended...i've just got back from the countdown and walking  around raffles - clarke quay. can't sleep,i guess a mc donald's cappuccino hasd really boosted up my energy. the crowds were crazy near esplanade, but i was lucky i got a good spot to capture the fireworks.

when most people welcome the new year with many wishes, i didn't.  This  new  year  should be my year of praise as the world has turned upside down for me. A huge mistake in my life amazingly turned out to be a very beautiful thing, and i've got something i've been fighting over for so many years.

in denials he found me, throughout all lies he shows me the truth....

Christmas Eve & Christmas Day

Christmas celebration was over. Tired.
I was alone, walking around Orchard and Clarke Quay at Christmas Eve. It was so crowded, hardly can move especially in front of Ngee Ann City and Paragon. The crowd was crazy, lots of people were spraying "snow" at each other, laughing all the way.
It was not a silent night at all! And the stars were not brightly shining, in fact I didn't see any stars, but the moon was beautiful and very bright. Quite fun, but it was too crowded, so after 9.30 church I went to Clarke Quay.

Clarke Quay was also crowded, but much better than Orchard. People were spraying snow also. I've never seen Singapore so dirty before....but I guess all parties will leave trash. Lots of cans of fake snows were left out at the bridge near Riverside Point. Was there till 3 am, very tired...but it was fun.

Christmas day - Orchard
The road was closed, many people took photos near the parade cars.
I didn't see anything special on the cars, more interested in looking at other people's gadget...hehehe....
Lots of good DSLR cam with excellent lenses. Thinking of getting one myself, but on the second thought, do I really want to travel carrying those stuff? They're heavy and big, not to mention I need to carry my laptop also when traveling on business purpose...I like travelling light....

End of the happy year....

It's end of the year again...
Ups and downs are very normal things in this life, but overall, this year is a happy year for me although some tears was there too.

The year started with a 6 months business trip to Manila. It was a great experience in terms of works. A nice exploration of another culture. The food was nice, that's how I gained so much weight! haha... The mango float was our fave, the pork sisig was nice, binalot, chicken sisig, the rocky road soft ice cream was also great, missed the crispy pata and crispy liempo.....yum yum yum!! I wonder if I can find those dishes here in Singapore....

At end of Manila project, we went to KL for a week, it was my first time to Malaysia. The hotel was very nice, but the city was....mmmm....alright, but not as good as Singapore. Public transports are not well managed, needed to bargain for taxi fares, train stations are not good. Still better than Jakarta, but it was nothing if we compare to Singapore.

After the project I took a week leave and stayed in Singapore, with one mission : getting a new job and settle down in this city. Mission failed, a week was not enough to find a new job.

June 21st - my phone rang at almost midnight, a new friend; he came up with an info - Singapore PR can be obtained without being employed in Singapore and the information office is just a walking distance from the place I stayed. Couldn't sleep at all that night, cried.....lots of things in my minds, most of all : can I run away and not going back next day? will that miracle happen to me?

June 22nd - tired after the insomnia, my phone rang very early in the morning. A message from my dad - going home today? what time? -  Sigh.....do I have the choice?
I took a quick bath and took the PR form, then walk around Orchard....to Dhobby Ghaut, stopped by at a church near City Hall, my first step to the church after....a year? or two? can't really remember. Just wish for one miracle : to live in Singapore and not going back that day.....but miracles did not come that fast...
Arrived the airport a little bit early to grabbed a few boxes of chocolates, for myself, my mum and dad 'n my bro.
My phone rang few minutes before boarding time, I was touched, a new friend but he was very supportive, I guess that's what I really needed that time. I still remember his words, it's expensive, but you can afford it, and if you really really want it, just do it.
This guy is on my side ( thank you so much, you're the best! ), when most people said I have to love and live in the land where I was born, which I totally disagree. You can't choose where or when to be born, but you can always choose your way of life. You can be good or bad, it's all your choice. I chose to live in a place where I can be a better person, environment really gives effects!
I was the last person boarded the plane that evening, and yet the last person who stepped down when the plane landed in CKG. Hoping for a miracle that the plane would take off again with me still in it I guess?
Can't sleep again that night, tired, cried, headache....I missed Philippines and Singapore, didn't want to live in a place that destroyed all my hard work just because I did the right things, the place that its only rule is money.

Back to Soltius office for couple of weeks, sick for another 2 weeks, prepared the docs for LPR application, some offers came and finally...closed a deal to work in Singapore!

Happy and excited, I moved to Singapore on August 11th. Yeah, I gave a shock therapy for the management, resign within a week notice....sorry guys, but I can't help it anymore, I just have to go, wouldn't miss this chance for anything in the whole world. Found out that 2 of my ex colleagues works in the same company. Nice to see them again.
Now Singapore is my home. No, I'm not crazy about Singapore, still have the dream of living in Vancouver or Europe....or Melbourne and travel the whole world. We can't have everything we want, and if I can't have that dream, Singapore will always be my home....
I like being here, the party never ends. Christmas has been celebrated since last month around Orchard, and new year is yet to come but they already have the schedule for Chinese new year's celebration!

Now I'm back to ISS HQ in the city area, exactly opposite to Sim Lim Square.
It's a perfect location to go for some window shopping and keep an eyes on the newest gadget in this country.
Very nice to be here, I can wake up much later, fast internet connection provided without any limitation....hehehe, got some good e-books and musics and programs for my PDA and notebooks, have the time to do anything at the office....(so far
finished some training materials, all series of Asterix and a few of Tintin, installed some programs and e-books to my PDA); and the best part is of course...still get the payment, hehehe.....

Some people still don't understand why I love it to be here.....well, I'm happy here. This is my home now; although I'm alone, I can be a much better person than I was before....be thankful for each and every seconds of my life. I'd rather this kind of life than being there with the whole family and friends but keep complaining about everything all the time. I don't have many friends here, but those I can call friends here are very nice ones.

".....just like a light on a new game
       it hit me out from a blue
       breaking me out of the spell I was in
       making all my wishes come true
       believe it or not I'm walking on it
       I never thought I can be so free....."

KL again

My second time to KL....
again we landed in a bad weather, it was one rainy morning in KL.
And again, Boulevard Hotel at Midvalley...nice hotel, next to a big mall.

It feels like a short holiday, meeting session will be on Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning. Have no idea why I have to stay here for the whole week.
Everything is exactly like 4 months ago. Same flight, same hotel, same company, same confusing hand over, hehehe....

If you say Singapore is boring....try KL. Been to KLCC, Starhill, and Chinatown.....then? nothing else to see :P

That's the way it is

time flies so fast, I've been here for almost 3 months. 3 more months to go for my first mission here. Still trying to make peace with my heart, but it's very difficult. Well, sometimes life sucks; but I've learned something.

If life is a game, sometimes you win, sometimes you loose. Being a looser is a terrible feeling. But now I see....it's just a process to win something much much better. Everything will be beautiful at the perfect time and it's not for us to control.

Happiness doesn't come when you have everything you want, it comes when you appreciate everything you have, and life feels easier when you do.

Here it is....

Finally....got the time and mood to organize and upload SOME of my photos.
Finished some, but thousands more to go.....maybe millions,not sure, but obviously it takes more than 20 GB in my hdd.
Well, it's just a matter of willing.....but some moods also needed to do it (excuse, excuse....hehehe).

For those who are always asking why they've never seen any of my works, here it is :
