The Promise

Hehehe... seems like a movie title right... hahaha actually it's not :p

I post this blog due to My friends b'day last week on "er ling ling liu shi er yue jiu hao".

Escpecially for Desson

Gratz for another 1 year advance to your life...

What to say ah??

Err... should I sing for you??? I don't think u want to listen though :p

How about if I say, I hope that u'll enjoy your time in here, get a healthy life... (err... classic captain.. classic...)


To be honest, First I was thinking that Desson is one of a unique creature that God created. God also give the creature the ability to make other people that live near by him to feel with joy, but to the people that are not live near by him is more luckier :p (that's what you say lorh... :p remember the Intimedia story :D)

Let me tell u a secret..... 1st time I know Desson, I'm thinking that this man is a bit strange... always covered with thick jacket, and play game quite often (star craft). He was also one of my bastard friend's friend. But, one thing for sure... this man can do hard work... since when I know him, he can do Overtime, even Overnight :D

While the time keep passing by, so roughly passed by, without able to be stopped, have you notice that we already known each other for about 5 years.

Even though now you're still smart, single, looking and available... I will hope that later if you change your status to either not smart, not single, not looking or invisible, you will still able to cherish all people near by you man.

God created you with talent... and one of it is to cheer others ^^


Thanks for cheering my life friend,

PS: what's ur plan for new year? Is it ok with you if we go to Redang Island?

Make Over

Today, I went to Clarke Quay to do free make over, they did quite awesome job... I barely can recognize myself in the picture...

Several shots were taken, although not all shots were nice, but at least mostly the picture looks nice...

Usually I only see big eye bag under my eyes, since most of the time always lack of sleep.

I don't know what have they done with it, seems like no eye bag is visible in the picture, though pimples still there :p

Hm... As I recall I know that my niece have been doing this digital studio photo, but that time the photos were taken in Kelapa Gading Jakarta. The main skill is not in the make over (Very difficult to make over a baby right ^^). They only did digital photo editing.

As for this picture, this one not original me. I'm there with make over. Finally got chance to do such a thing. Perhaps later will do it again with my family in Jakarta.

There was 1 intresting story when I do the make over. While waiting for my turn, one lady is sit next to me, and she start a conversation with me, asking this, asking that... Suddenly... cannot hear her clearly (music is quite hard), She seems like speaking to ask my number, and perhaps later can go to take dinner together. (what?? Shocked...) but anyway I just give her the number.

Perhaps I must learn from what she has done.... to start a smooth conversation... (this is not easy for me... or it's just me that thinking it's not easy). Yeah... must bear with it man.... Do the talk and smile... like the old time.. Yeah... I miss the old time, when I'm quite easy to talk to stranger, and can start a smooth conversation....

What's make it so hard?? Perhaps self confidence... I'm still thinking that my English is not good enough... So quite affraid to start a conversation with stranger... especially those "hen piaoliang xiaojie" hahahaha..

Hahaha slacking.... not totally slacking, still if I compare with the first time I'm here, it's already improving alot, though a bit of mixed with Singlish. Anyway, it's ok I think, since the main point of a conversation is how is the message is taken clearly by the others. 

The upcoming Christmas

Epiloque: Lately the weather seems quite cold, no need to turn on the air con at the night (good what!! can save $). The lights outside seems nice, lots of decoration (I always like lights). Toa Payoh street decorated nicely. Most stores now already put the discount mark at their shop. Yet, the christmas song also started to heard slowly.


Seems this will be my 1st Christmas in Singapore. Still I felt something missing... whats that?? perhaps missing the white white one (lol, dont copy cat this line, purely singlish).

Perhaps starting to planning a Christmas holiday is a good options for now^^.

Christmas stay, but new year going overseas... (hey, this one not because I'm rich, but Singapore is to small for holiday :D)

Hm... let see?? if you're me, what will u think???

Malaysia, Bangkok?? or save more to go more further, like beijing for example...
Hehehe, in order to go to Beijing I think I still need to practice my zhong wen 1st.
But Beijing is surely one of the city that I want to visit, regardless to G explanation... hehehe must prepare to the bad toilet in there... Some doo here some doo there.. wahahaha even u can look to ur neighboor when u're doing doo :D

I think I still have the picture that my friend send me, about the doo and the toilet in there.
Yeah... I'm thinking to sharing it with you guys, but... wahahaha don't think u'll like it :p

***** blanking *****


I was thinking what I'm doing in the last pass Christmas:

Haha, better to start putting Christmas song to my winamp list now ^^.

MapleSea

Weew... finally I've post something about it..

Yup... maple...
it's an online game... quite similar with ragnarok,
RPG game... actually if you only play it alone, it will be very boring to play it, but since when u playing the game, u'll be involve with a lot of new friends, and talk in english (which I hope will improve mine T__T), sometimes also in hua yu (which I'm still learning of it).

I never thought that I can play one online game until this long... hehehe from June till now..
Now my lvl is already 7x, and reach the highest job that available in there... although still a lot of maplers that have lvl higher than me.

Anyway... it's quite fun... and sometimes when u want to save... playing it will be the correct answer for saving, since whenever u playing it, u'll not go out, or walk arround with your friend, and spend unnecessary money to exp food or drinks, or perhaps exp sport.

I've notice that some of the players already takes maple as their life, they cann't live without it. [baka]

It shouldnot be like that... it supposed to be for fun only le..
I've met lots of ppl in there, some of them from Yordania --> Lou, lots from Malaysia--> Kat, Happy, Ivy, Jason, Vemin, etc. Some also Singaporeans --> Jonathan, Lynn, James, Eliene.

It's really nice to know u all friends...
thanks for being my maple friends ^^

Sometimes.... it doesn't seems like the ads...

Being recently watch "The Covenant", when there's a price for owning a power...

surely the ads realy tempting... specialy, the movie creator was the same as "Underworld", hehehe I like vampire n werewolf movie.. horor n cool... some of the vampire also sexy :D

anyway... after seing the movie by myself (err... actually not alone, I watched it with "wo de nan peng you" [Even my lao she laugh n almost fainted hearing this words :p] -> The actual meaning was my friend that boy, but the correct translation is boyfriend :D)

From the beginning itself it already lots of talking... n it's still remain talking n talking up to the middle section... only a bit of action at the last part...

This movie also give me the feeling like seeing a dragon ball movie... since they way they do to throw the power is like "Kamehameha..."

To you that have not seen this movie...
Suggestion: don't watch !!!
To you that don't have any other movie options:
Suggestion: wait for 007 Casino the royale

Have u ever heard this song?

The song is called Those who wait, the guitar player is Tommy Emmanuella, a very good guitarist.
He always play his guitar wif full heart, it's just like his music is his feeling. =)

You can also try to listen his other song called mombasa.



Mombasa man ^^

Happy listening

Remembering your childhood

What do you see from that picture?? Is it look familiar?? Well for me it is. When the drawing time while I was a kid, I always draw 2 mountains, 1 road to the mountains, and a house and also trees.

Well, why suddenly I posted this topic?? Since two days ago, I had a verry cheerfull conversation with G Xiaojie.

We were talking about our childhood. At first I was thinking that my childhood life is not good, if its compared to the other kids.
Well, don't want to talk much about my past life, but, just want you to know that, I really enjoy my past life. Though not many toys to play with. Only one robot toys that I had in my childhood. The robot was from my own saving.

Its always been a habits that my parents taught me that is to buy something that you like by yourself. So to get that cool robots (for that time the robot is really cool, its displayed a movie in its stomach, can shoot 6 missile from its head :D Is it cool or what?)

Yup, I think some of you were thinking, "what you must buy your own toys?", and some others would thinking, "I also bought my own toys." For you that had many toys, you must thankful for it, since some of us just cann't afford to buy one. For those of you that had similar experience with me please also be thankful, since you still able to have toys.

Well, forget about the buying process. The main purpose is to remembering your childhood. Try to look 4-5 things that really fun when you're still a kid.

I did like playing hide and seek with my primary school friends, where at that time we not even thinking about how we'll gonna live our future, just play and focus to find our friends and catch them after that.

I also remember about the rubber saint saiya heroes that I used to have for about 10 or more characters. It was fun to play with, and really cheap toys to bought at that time. It only caused me for about Rp 50,- and Rp 100,- for one single character.

What make me want to put this topic to the top. I just want us to remember our childhood life abit, so we can be thankful for what we had. Even if my childhood life is not as beautiful as yours, but I'm really happy for having one. Still had plenty of time for laughing, crying, playing, and to mix your emotion.

You know what, after remembering my childhood, I'm begginning to feel that I'm so happy, and can relax abit, also can forget about the rough life ahead for awhile. :)

It's a recommended action to do for refreshing awhile. Have a pleasant remembering your childhood ^___^

Genting, Johor Baru, and Kuala Lumpur 12-13 May 2006

On this long weekend, me and several of my friends visit three town in Malaysia, Johor Baru, Genting, and Kuala Lumpur.

We move from Bugis MRT at 7:30AM, waiting for the "Israel prime minister" Mr. Isak R. to arrive.

After that we take CW bus to Larkin, Johor Baru Terminal. Before that we stop at the check point to exit Singapore and take the bus again and stop at Malaysia Check point to stamp our passport.

After that, we're not directly continue our journey to Larkin terminal, but settle down for a while to eat and look for direct package to KL or Genting, which there is no more :p weeew. Finally we went to Larkin and take executive consortium bus to KL. The journey length is 4 hour, and it was a good time to sleep. we stop a while somewhere between Johor and Kuala Lumpur to have our lunch, and continue our journey to KL. Arrived at 4:30 PM, we're already exhausted, and the rain was pour down verry high at that time. So we must continue our journey with train first to Pudu Raya, and get our bus ticket to Genting.

Well some of us were hungry, so again we went for eating, this time is KFC as the target place. After that continue our journey to Genting. Arrived at 7:00PM with such a maze view. Genting is a high place like puncak in Indonesia. We can take 2 way to up from Genting terminal to Genting Entertainment Center. The first one is by bus, and the second one is by cable car.

Since our bus ticket is already included with the cable car fee, we must take the cable car to Genting Entertainment Center. Weeew... the cable car is quite scarry. It sure is not like Cable car in Ancol beach or in Taman Mini Indonesia Indah:p The cable car is crossing between the terminal to Genting Entertainment Center. In the middle is a 100 Million year jungle, and still the cable car must go up to Genting Entertainment Center. The journey on cable car is approx 10 minutes, with 3.8 KM distance. As you can see from the picture the height is really something, and for height phobia person, it sure is a scarry moment, since we're only guarded by a single cable :p

At Genting, I was shocked once again to see the place, it was a beautiful place with full of entertainment. Game center, Karaoke, Pub, Salon, Theme Park, Hotel, Casino, Bowling, Billiard, Restaurant, and many other more in the same place, in the same building.

We stayed at First World Hotel, and once again I've been amazed by the room number. It was the most many room hotel in the world. My room was 22730, you see, the room number is from the third digit, the 2 first digit represent the floor :D Got what I mean?

It has 2 Theme Park, inside and outside, the inside theme park was beautifull, full of light, some times remembering me with Lippo Karawaci which has the same model, inner theme park, but this one is surely bigger than that, more amusement and more entertainment also. It has Eifell Tower Miniatur, Venice Gondola Miniatur, and many more of it.

Genting is normally knowns as casino places. That's right, there is 3 big casino place in there. Since Malaysian goverment doesn't want to illegal gambling everywhere spreaded in all over malaysia, the build a big casino in Genting. You can see almost all of the gambling games in there, poker, black jack, wheel of fortune, machine matching game, etc.

But for people that come not for gambling there were many other entertainment place to visit, like the theme park, the game center, bowling alley, and snooker billiard, and also the famous flying coaster.

Now, I'll tell you about the outside theme park more, since I not observing the inner one quite detail. The outside theme park is quite similar with the one that built in Jakarta as Dunia Fantasi. But then again the weather is surely different, the weather in Genting is quite similar with Puncak and Bandung. So when you're queueing your game, u'll only feel good air, not hot air. Imagine, riding a roller coaster with fog is bellow your track, it just like riding a roller coaster in the air right ^__^

Ever had a dream to become Superman? hehehe since we cann't fly like him, in Genting there is a flying coaster amusement. What's it like? Well Flying Coaster is just like riding a roller coaster. But the main different is we're not sitting in the roller coaster, but we're have a pose like superman when flying with two of our hands above our head... Up.. .up... and awaaaaaaayyy :D
Try to keep ur mouth shout?? Hahaha, already tried, n failed to do so, since it was to fast and to crazy to do so.

There were also a Gokart Race, which you can ride it with, each race will consist of 16 player. The track the trafic there all real, the one that not real is the rider and the start, since we're prohibited to bump our car to another and the start was once in a column.

Hehehe, ok not enough time to try all the games, since we must catch the time to get back to KL. This time is not visit only, but try to look arround what's in it on KL.

Well, KL is quite similar with Jakarta. All the vehicle is quite similiar, we can found scooter bike and sport bike aswell, and the car brand is quite similar also. The different part is, every motocycle rider must turn their lamp on everytime. And the train n bus in there is verry good in comparission with Jakarta.

But the road condition, the building condition is quite similar with Jakarta. Even the highway itself is similar with Indonesian Highway. One another thing about KL, if in Jakarta you can see motorcycle ontop the pedesterian, at KL you can see Taxi ontop of it :)) Felix is almost hit by the cab driver with his un guilty eye step in to the pedesterian where he walked in. Huehehehe you must thanks to God that u're still alive Cat :D

OK, finished the journey at 12:00 AM, and we carry on to our place by bus or cab there. I'll see u in another adventure trip ok. ^___^

Why Jamaica is have many accidents

 

East Coast Journey

Sunday Journey, travelling to east coast park. At first, I was thinking that East Coast will be just an ordinary park, with lots of tree, some place near the beach and hot.

Well, I've got that point quite right, yet there is still more than that to see. It's hot, but the tree cover the area so well, and the water is so clear.

Usually people go to East Coast to have a barbeque party, biking, or playing inline skates, making sand castle, fishing, camping, although there is some other water sport activities in there, like water skateboarding, water win surfing.

Well the verry popular sport in there is biking and inline skate. Each road in there have minimal 3 way. 1 Way is for people walking it's figured by the foot step prints, and the 2 others is for inline skates and biking.

Well, most people think what if I don't have a bike, or inline skates? what should I do in there? just watching peoples who really enjoy that? Do not worry, they rent the inline skate, and the bicycle also. For Inline skate, you can rent it with S$ 6 in the 1st hour, and additional S$ 3 in the next hour. For Bicycle you can rent it with a various price, they rent various model from S$ 3- S$ 15 / hour.

Well it sure is a great place to relaxing and enjoy sporting, since I really like the inline skate there. The track is verry long. You can try to skates uphill, downhill or just flat and cornering.
The track is also fits well with the wheel, a little bit slides will make your skates quite fast.

There was also a place for playing a remote controlled car. The track is designed verry well and clean. It's just like watching the original F1 race there.

What about thirsty?? It sure is thirsty. But do not worry, they also sell foods and drinks there. Alot of Satay food, coconut, and fresh sugar caine juice. The famous "No Sign Board" Seafood restaurant is also there. How about the price, some times the price for the entertainment place is quite expensive. Hm... it's a slightly higher than the normal place. But, I think it's still on a reasonable prices.

Will get back there on next weekend, feel free to joining. 

What do people said about me, and what do I said about myself, Blind Spot?

Hm.. quite interesting, try to know that whether you already know urself like your friend know you?

Thanks to Botak ^__^

My IM Type

Related to Botax's Post today, I've try my IM Character and this is the result.

You've probably already calculated that you're a brainiac!

Hello, smarty pants! A curious and inquisitive character like you gets the message in more ways than one. While some people may use IM to pass along gossip or simply kill time, you probably like to use that brainpower for more thoughtful discussions on topics like politics, the latest news headlines, or even just to laugh at yourself when you've missed the obvious.

For you, IM probably likely serves a useful purpose. Whether you're talking to a friend overseas, asking a co-worker about a project, or solving the problems of the world, you're using that mental muscle of yours. But while you like to get stuck into some hefty subjects on-line, we know that you're not one to take yourself too seriously. So keep it up, brainiac! That's a clever way to be!

People with similar results on Which Emoticon Are You? also tend to score very well on the Classic IQ test.

Grilled Cajun Chicken

This night we'll perform the Special food set meal from Long John. Grilled Cajun Chicken.

It consist of rice, Grilled Cajun Chicken, Coleslaw, and Salads and olive salad oil.

With regular drinks the price will damage us at S$ 6.20. It also provide another option when you order it.

You can ask the waiter to replace either the salad or the coleslaw with a french fries. It won't cost you another cent or dollar to change it so.

Ok, now lets talk about the taste. Hm... to be honest, this meal sets is really makes you feel full, because of the combination. Specially the cajun is quite big. I'll recommend this food if only you're feeling hungry. If not, I think this option is not the best choice. The cajun is soft, and delicate. A little bit salty inside, with combination of chili and tomato, I'm sure it will become quite delicious. Now about the salad, the salad is very fresh, and the olive oil is also good and healty, good for desert. The coleslaw is standard, just like other coleslaw, or let me just say coleslaw is just another salad :p Ok, let's move on to the replacement, the french fries. Well Long John's French Fries quite special, I think it's quite comparable with Popeye French Fries. The taste is deeply within each stick.

The food place is usually has a harbour interior, and has a captain bell outside the restaurant. Below the bell there is a words, "Ring the bell if we did good." Last time I went there, there was a young girl that hitting the bell out loud. Weeeww... but I'm sure that Long John will be happy about it. 

The Transformation

Human do changes, even though they said they didn't. Just now, I've been seeing my old picture and my new picture, I also changed.

Getting old, yup some wrinkled already shown in my faces. Should I put some moisturizer? Hohohoho, getting old is something that we can not prevent. People are keep getting older.

That's why we should enjoy our life, and never forget about our future. I'm proud to my grand father, He had worked hard in his youth, and now he enjoys to travell. Once in 2 month he will go to Australia. Once in 6 month he will go to Beijing.

Yet not only that, he keep the family integrity and the chinese tradition in the family. He always wants that his son, and daughter, yet his grandson and so on will visit him in weekends.

Why should I talked about that anyway ^_^, just wondered, what will this lead me to? Yesterday, I visited my Aunt that currently having a vacation to Singapore, and Malaysia, and after that will go visit grandmother at Jakarta. She was telling me to keep my spirit in here, since there is no relatives in here. She and her husband were telling me about their life in Sydney, and told me about Sydney is getting more unsafe lately. Hm... that makes me think again before planning to take Australian PR.

Her husband recommended Canada or US as an alternative. Hm... that was good. But, One in a time lah, no need to rush. 1st plan is to get Singaporean PR first. After that will think about the next plan. At this time, thinking to go to Canada or US is seem to be unsure and yet untouchable. But I think, I was thinking the same thing when I was still in Jakarta and want to work in Singapore. I thought that cann't be happened in my life. To good to be come true. What I am just only a ordinary boy, that from ordinary family also.

And I remembered about one wise words, "A man with a dream can not be denied!" So, I think, who ever you are out there, what ever you are now, if you really want to do something in your life, and makes something different. I think you can do it. Background surely doesn't determine your next step, but your own desire will let you go there.

Sometimes, it takes a lot of guts to take another step, because we already feel comfortable with our current condition. Well, let me tell you. If you want a great life, you must leave the good life.

Right now, seeing Canada Snow, Vancouver, or Disney in US still verry far to me to reach. It even doesn't show a tiny bit of it. But, one of the great book that I've read once told me. How to eat an Elephant? A bite by a bite. You won't eat the elephant in one bite, but slowly in bite after bite. Someday it will be all eaten.

So, to all of my friends there. Please see your dream back, and see your current condition. How close are you to your dream? To me, it's still quite far. Let's keep taking another step ok :)

To my friends that still cann't let go the past, still holding on, yet still wish that someday things gonna be better. Check again whether you keep doing an action or just passively waiting? If you keep doing an action, there still be a chance that things will be as your wish. But what if things cann't be better? The good thing is like this, you certainly can be sure that things will not change if you just passively waiting. But, things can be change if you do action.

Happy Easter guys and girls, may Jesus blood at the Calvary 2006 years ago now remembering us about how great He was. I Love You Lord. 

Ko Hanny B'day

Today, is your 35th b'day. I've been wondering, how many people that you had help, so they realize their potential. How many college students that you had help to finish undergraduate, with your briliant Idea.

I thought that you had been specially created by God, 35 years ago, for helping lots of people. I know that I still don't know u alot, specially for other person sight. I only know you as my brother and friends, Hannysan.

Ko Hanny, thats what usually I called him. He was a smart and talkative person, he also bring cheer to PDC. Sometimes I thinked that he just like our own father, that will protect his child in there, even if we are naughty. Well, many of good lesson that I've learn from Ko Hanny. One of them is leadership, how to not scold your subordinate in front of public, even though that he / she were guilty. He taught me that true leadership won't make people follow by force, but by respect. He also taught me about humanity and always keep generous to no matter who, your subordinate, your boss, your ex boss, to all your friend.

This man is a one of a kind person in this world. He taugh outside but kindhearted and a great guy inside. He kindly lift me and the others and take us for lunch, even though it is quite far from the office. He was a choleric person, but he give a great input, and the input were right.

A briliant in idea, great friends, good protector, and the most important thing is great father and husband to his family. Thanks God I know you. Happy b'day Ko Hanny, this is the only gift that I can give to you from here. I hope you'll like it.

YA Visits

2 weeks a go YA came to Singapore, and we were gathered with several bluejackets in here, and we went to explanade and several places too.

YA picked her friends at night and we all went to KTV Box at China Town. Weew Jening voice were awesome and surely beautiful. It reminded me of one of the beautiful voice that I've heard.

Well, that time is the first time I entered Explanade. It has a modern library in it, and a big live show performance inside. My friends told me that this place is also for performing a big international drama or show.

Explanade is surely had an unique architecture, because the roof is look like a "durian". From the top of explanade, we can see Merlion park from it, and also can see the Big Mega building there.

Although Merlion park already have 2 statue of Merlion, one is big, and the other is small, but it is not the biggest Merlion statue in Singapore. If you want to see the biggest Merlion statue in Singapore, u must go to Sentosa Island. I'll post it to you guys some times. 

Hanging clothes

You know that at several old HDB at Singapore, People usually hang their clothes outside the building just like on the picture. Some times, hanging clothes like this is really bursting your adrenalin.

Why? Hm... Simple, it's just because the wind. You know from up high, the wind is really strong, and you bringing out a fresh wet clothes that heavier than a normal one. At that condition, the wind, and the clothes weight will make feel so intense, even in some point your heart beat faster, specially when you're affraid the clothes will fall down, and you eventually see below :p

I don't know what the effect for other people, but for me, hanging clothes like this is surely bring some of excitement for myself. Bringing out the galah also already make your heart beating faster. Even after the process finished your heart is still rapidly beating. I think that because you still not trust to the galah strength, so when the wind blow, and you look at your clothes like that. It just like the clothes will fall.

But, the galah is surely strong, and can take the clothes weight. Off course there is a limit for hanging clothes like that. 1st thing is, don't put heavy clothes like jeans outside. 2nd, the weight total of the clothes mustn't be a burden to you who lift it up, and take it in.

As you can see from the picture, it shows different way of put the clothes within the galah. The most efficient way is using another hanger, but this one is surely rapidly beating up ur heart. The normal way is to put clothes inside the galah, this way the clothes won't easily flewn by the win. The disbenefit of using this way is, there is lack of space because 1 galah only can take about 3 clothes. 

What do you do in the MRT?

Hm... yesterday night, after back from Orchard and eat a delicious Sayur Asem, I went back home with MRT as usual, but Some thing unusual happened. The MRT was crowded, it's quite normal since it was Sunday. So to prevent to get the train to crowded, I consider myself to go to the backside of the train, which is usually not verry crowded.

Well, the view were suprising me..... I caught a man and woman trying to kiss. The funny thing, they even didn't care if it's a crowded place. Yup, finally they move to the corner to continue their action, don't care lah... That's not of my business.

Yet, the train was arrived, and as it try to stop, I saw another french kissing in the train..... wuaaah..... That's not all of it, after that, there were also a couple that hugging each other in front of me. Luckily they off quickly from the train. weeew....

Yet, not finished!!! (Waattt....) Still remember the couple that frenching in front of me? They continue doing something. They talk with big sound, it just feel the train were theirs... Even the girl were punching him with a really big sound. All the people inside the train looked at them I think.

So, I think I should freeze them in memory, to my blog. huehehehehehe.
Well people, lets give a big applause for the trouble maker in the MRT.

Silly, but happened in S'pore.

Commonwealth Hidden Treasure

Actualy, I've been trying to write this down as soon as possible, but there was a good point too for late writing it to you. Actually the title Hidden Treasure sure is bring a big heavy burden. Because if it is not good enough, I will be so subjective writing it down to you guys all.

Well, firstly started with bored with the nearest commonwealth food market, since I don't want to go so far just for eating. But, that day I've boosting my leg and spirit to take another step, to see whats beyond the food market. And my result is not quite bad, I found another food market across the street. Luckily me, it was not the only one. I've found another two of it. So total food market near my live place is 4.

Ok, lets numbered them then. I'll call the 1st market is the nearest one, the second one is the firstly to see in the right side after crossing the street, and the 3rd one is just about the left side of the 2nd, and the 4th is standing on north, the farest and smallest one I think.

Trying to find the best food and getting to know all of the 3 new Food Market, I walked so slowly. Looking and reading the food menu, at the 2nd FM (Food Market), all the food were there almost Malay and Indian Food. Nasi Bryani, Mee Soto, Nasi Goreng Merah, Satay Food, Nasi Padang. The 3rd one is I think selling kinda westernized food. It was selling steaks, lamb chop steak, omelete steak, etc. The 4th one is selling chinese food and Indian food.

The Commonwealth hidden treasure is located at the 4th FM, Evertop Boneless Hainese Chiken Rice. The place was quite full, there were a queue for ordering the food. I remembered that the Restaurant that selling food and had queue must be good at quality. So, I try to test my luck there.

It was quite of a long time before my chicken rice is deserved right on top my table. First impression that come accross my mind is like this "weewww, the chicken is quite small, and the rice is so regular, only a small bowl of rice, I think it won't satisfy me". Well looks can be decify. It displayed with a small plate, with sliced cucumber and special oil at the bottom, covered with steam boneless chicken, and the last one is union leafkemangi leaf and special pickle. The package is being company by 1 bowl of rice, 1 bowl of soup, and 1 chili and sauce small plate.


For S$ 3,- this was a great worthy food. Since I've once eat similar food at soup restaurant at August 25, 2004. Soup restaurant was located at Semanggi Mall, Jakarta, at 1st or 2nd storey I think (not so remember about the floor). Ok, back to the chicken rice :p, enough remembering the old soup restaurant :p. Well started with tasting the special oil, I almost surprised, tasty food. Yet, another suprise just came by, the chicken were so delicate and soft (Hey... this is not a softener advertizing :p). Even with my hungry food, I take the food really slowly, because I want to taste it until the last drop of it :D (How Greedy!!!)

So, why did I told you it's better to write it now then after I firstly tried it? Well simple answer, because since that I already taste 3 different chicken rice food, to compare with commonwealth Chicken Rice. Well the 3 different chicken rice is not good at all. The malay chicken rice is a roast chicken rice, I think it's almost as the same as buying fried chicken at Jakarta so not good at all. The other 2 places were selling steamed chicken, but It was sold including the bone :p and the special oil taste is cann't be comparable good with the commonwealth one.

Conclusion, the chicken rice is announced as hidden treasure since it's has the taste for a hidden treasure. ^__^ So Want to join me here eating it?

MRT

Mass Rapid Transport. Singapore MRT is just a common train in Indonesia. But the shape and the station is slightly different.

MRT is a regular train that arrives once in 6-7 minutes. Each Train contains several exits door. We sits facing each others, and stand with hand grap if the train is full.

The MRT Station

The train is divided in several journey area.

NS (North South Line) = Red Line
NE (North East Line) = Purple Line
EW (East West Line) = Green Line

The Train stopped in many station, and stops approximately about 1-2 minutes in the stations.

The interesting part that They provide each user with Ez-Link Card that can be topped up. So everytime that we want to take busses or MRT, we just tap the card to the card reader. Confuse with which side to tap, no worry, it can be tapped in any other way.

Each MRT is provided with several LCD Display that display Cinema Adds and Next Station Information. Each doors is opened and closed automatically. No need to worry about getting down the train with which foot? because it stop first then the exit door is opened. Thats also applied to the bus.

Every MRT is provided with Air Conditioner, and some of it is quite smelly, specialy the red line one :D The most crowded Line.

The MRT runs on double rail, which can be at subway, and overpass. The old Path rail is constructed over the road, and the new one is constructed at subway.

Subway Door MRT Station

MRT is the easiest Mass Transport to deliver people all over Singapore. Let's hope that Indonesian Mass Transport will be like that. Easy and afforable.

Dried Chile Pepper Chicken Rice

Clementi Food Junction, Rengji Hongkong Restaurant

Price: S$ 4.00
Taste: Verry Delicated, tasty, spicy, and great.
Option: Choose between Chicken/Beef/Fish and Dried Chile or no

Review: After 08:15 PM and still not having dinner, I went to Clementi to look arround and find some place to full fill my desire. After the MRT exit, go to the Clementi Avenue, and passing 2 Food Stall in the area, I finally looked to some place that quite unique than the other two food stall. The dinning table were all rounded, and it had 4 chairs each. 1 Big Food Place were dominated by one restaurant called Rengji. Hm... seeing the menu, I decided to choose this menu. With Chicken and Dried Chile. Unique I suposed. And it was true. When it came to be served. I looked at the menu and amazed with the combination. The chile is really dried and the chicken is mixtured well with the chile, Bombay Onions, and rice. The taste was really something special. I think this is really worth S$ 4.00 price food. Nor the chile or the chicken is hot. Even the garlic oil and green chile that they provided as a complementary addition wasn't hot. I'm dying want to eat this menu again someday. Verry recomended food to try.

Malaysian Gado2

Eunos Food Stall Gado2

Price: S$ 2.50
Taste: Sour, and only salty when eating it with the "krupuk".
Option: Not Provided, but I think u can choose to the level of the spiciness.

Review: The Gado-gado is really different with Indonesian Gado-gado. It's tasted sour, and only salty when eating it with the "krupuk". The packet of rice (lontong) is some how has something like soft fish bones (just try and see sarden can food, you can see the soft fish bones in some brand). I don't know whether it is something unique or not. But I consider it as something unproportional. It just making gone my appetite. The seasoning is really much, as you can see in the picture. The nuts is pounded. The aunty who sold it was Malaysian. I've miss conclusin her as Indonesian. But after seeing her dialect, I already made another conclusion which was right this time. She was Malaysian. The "Krupuk" is some how like "Krupuk kulit" like Padang foods. Well, Eating it once has give me at least unforgetable experience with it, and surely won't do it again :p

Charsiew & Roast Pork Rice

Zion Road Dinner Menu

Price: S$ 3.00
Taste: Delicious with aromatic soup
Option: Not Provided

Review: This is the best Charsiew & Roasted Pork Rice that I ever eat in here. The combination between the ingredients and the meat is really good. The soup is also gives something new, its quite salty and it's good, better than sour. One another thing that really make the food is really special that, I ate it when I was really hungry :D Recommended Food.

Duck Noodle

Common Wealth Lunch Menu

Price: S$ 3.00
Taste: Sour with chinese smell fragrance
Option: Can be served dry or with soup

Review: The noodle is verry thick, it's almost tasted like Spaghetty, but it sure different in the formula. I choose to eat it with soup not dry. The taste is really sour, unless for the sliced duck meat complited with duck heart. The heart was bitter. Weew, it perhaps been better if I ate it when I am really hungry:p The duck is soft, perhaps it because the thin slice, but the duck and the soup isn't mixed well, so the duck is really sour. Not recommended Food.

Chatter Box Special Gala Dinner

First of all, this post is not for commercial purposes, this is only for reviewing the food and showing to you guys what's it like.

Ok, little background for this gala dinner, My cousin Robert was having 1 month celebration with his girlfriend and he was treating us for special gala dinner in Kelapa Gading Mall in the east Jakarta.

After arrived at 8:30PM we start to looking for a restaurant to fullfil our desire in eating offcourse. And we walking from distance to distance, from food court Gading 1 to Gading 3, Lapiaza, until the end we tresspasing the Gading Food City, still there is no clue where would he treat us. I was begin to crumbled and told him how hungry I was, so does Ivon (Robert girlfriend's friend). So after a long walk, well I'm sure it was long, it was 9:30PM, we at last stopped at ChatterBox restaurant. It looked quite beautiful for a restaurant. The decoration were quite relaxing also.

We order several main dishes, and I've been picture it for later recommendation.

Menu 1: Salmon Steam Set
This menu is served well on the plate with some noodle, I think it just like Kway Tiaw. The salmon was good, mixed with the special formula. Something that kinda akward is the pepper. It served with rounded Pepper as you can see in the picture, so it's so spicy.

Menu 2: Black Pepper Beaf
This menu is quite special, because the taste is really good, and the mix between the spicy formula, and the rice is also mixtured well. This is a recommended menu by me so far. Off course the original menu it was not like the picture. This was Robert's menu, and he put one of the french fried on top of the rice.

Menu 3: Mashed Potatoes With Sausage
Well lets talk about this menu, because this one is my menu. When I first ordered it, I was interested on the mashed potatoes, and then mixtured with sausage. I wonder what kind of menu is this, so I took one. The taste was merely good. The mashed potatoes is mixed with cheese, so it wasn't sour. The sausage is great also, well I don't recommended this one, because of its price was to high compared with the taste.

Menu 4: Chicken Teriyaki Sets

I don't know what's like is it, since it just like the same chicken teriyaki sets in other restaurant. So I only can show u the picture of it.

Part of Life Journey

After seeing my old picture, it appears on my head to try to write down and show u a bit of my life journey.

Begin at 1999, when graduated from SMUN 1, I was consider myself to take a computer degree since I really like computer. So I've decided to enter Bina Nusantara University, majoring Information Technology.

1 year later the challenge, I joined Bluejacket All Star Community, to learn more about computer. With our slogan "We are not the best but we always try to be the best", 00-2 is continue our journey with several people in it. 2,5 months of training phisically and mentally we were formed. First RY leaves us, and then followed by BU, and the last one is JY. Our member is becoming lesser than ever.

1,5 year after that, I've got promoted to Network and Infrastructure Staff and joined the backoffice team. And time sure flew quickly, after 2 year contract is over, most of the 00-2 team were not continuing their contract, and leave me behind, since I was mutated to a new office outside Software laboratory.

This is my 00-2 Team Member 1 Year after we separated.

And the story move on. Entering the PDC as System & Simulation I met with a lot of unique and solid friends. PDCians that what we called ourself. Unique people inside Binus Corner. That some times forget about the rules of the world. We worked proffesionaly and treat others with respect. There were two strong girl in there, Henny and Yani, both of Video Team, that always busy carying Video Camera, Tripod, Line Extention everywhere when their shooting. There were also outstanding Instructional Design that gave consultation to the Binus Lecturer about how to build good Multimedia to share with their college students.

But, not only in work. In the other part of our job we were also tough and doing several outdoors together. This is the photo when we were playing Volley Ball together and named our team with Star BUG =p

Now at the 2006, who knows what kind of friends that will I had. I just hoped that I will get a bunch of new friends. Just let it flows with the wind, and just try our best to reach our dream.

FIRST

First Flight
First Overseas

is surely a brand new experience
damn I sure don't like the feeling the the plane is landing, my ears is sick, and it gettin worst when the plane go down.

Nervous, yup I think that described what I've felt.
But luckily the feeling gone when I'm stepping my foot to the changi airport carpets.

Wow I had never seen an airport like that before. It's just like all the passenger is the king. They greet us with hospitality, always smile, and polite.

Still feeling amazed, I'm forcing myself to walk the step still with amazement and looking to the left and right. I stopped in front of the toilet, and curious about the toilet. So I went in there, and more amazed to see the view. The toilet is quite something, no hand services :D
That sure the right word for the toilet. It flush automatically, and when u want to wash your hand the water pour automatically also. Want some soap? just put your hand bellow the sensor, and it will tear a drop of it. Not enough you must wait for another 2 secs before it drops again.
No wonder they announce it as the 1st international airport.

Because of my friend will pick me up after he's done in the office, I must wait for his arrival. So I spent my time in the airport, enjoying free access internet, free water to drink, free foot massager to feel relax.

Outside the changi airport the public MRT is already there, it takes me from terminal 1 to terminal 2 free. Wow there's a lot of free service in here, that's what I thought. And again no wonder it has all the facility, the airport tax is surely high in there :D

I've bought the EZ-Link Card for MRT and public busses for S$ 15, and again I stunned to see how easy to use the card, we just tap the card near the sensor, it doesn't care when it side front, or the otherway arround. Just tap it, and the door will be open. My friend told me to put it in the wallet and not put it out when want to tap the card. Yes, it can be used within the wallet.

Bringing my baggage into the MRT I'm amazed again with the train, it arrives every 6 minutes on normal time, and every 2 minutes in early working hour. The train is like the bus way in Jakarta, but the seats were from plastic, and some train have LCD display on the top of the train to show some adds from the movie and some direction.

Each station provided with locality maps and line direction. So there is no story that tell about 'Lost in Singapore' hahahaha. awesome.

Ok, this is my first, everybody has their first too right.

In The End

This is not a song by linkin park,
but this is describing my feeling nowadays

My fight, my breath,
My second family,
Even my first family,

Passing all moments,
Thus beautiful and sorrow,
From tears, sweat, pain,
To happiness


My First Sight
My Love,
My Friends,
Even My Newest Love

This is not a farewell word
But this is a beginning of a new journey

The tingling road ahead
I’ve settling my heart
I’ve made up my mind

It ain’t easy
But with the decision
To pursue my dreams
I’ll take the risk

If it isn’t because of you
I won’t be easy to go
