Alone.

It's Sunday, and my night is accompanied by . . . a can of Campbell's soup and a dinner roll. Oh, plus some cream cheese with herbs. HA! Yes. I am currently alone. All my housemates aren't around. So . . . yeah. Seriously. I feel so . . . alone. And I'm trying all my best to keep my tears to stay in the position where it should. Ha, ha.

Plus, mommy just told me that every time my Kakung texts me, he literally cries. And he said that it's okay for me to be alone. So that I would learn to be independent. Alone. Oh, plus he told mommy that it's a valuable lesson to learn for me to get used to be alone, for the next step of my life. If you know what I mean, ha, ha.

Oh God, I miss my family back home right now. I miss my . . . bedroom - which I think the brother is invading the room. I miss all of those traditional homemade food. I MISS RAWON! Well, actually there are lots of things that I miss, but if I tell you one by one - trust me, you would think that I'm such a princess-y. HA HA!!

Oh well, despite all the things that I miss . . . I could face a whole new step in my relationship with my Boggie. And most importantly, I could deepen my relationship with my God!

Oh, oh, oh! Before I forgot, there are some last teenie-weenie bits that I'd like to share with you (that is if you're interested, ha!). Well, it's about yesterday. I went out with a couple of friends to the Marina Bay area, for some research study that we have to do for Commercial Design class. Anyways, after we did all the things that needed to be done . . . I remembered when I took a ride with a taxi, the driver told me that there will be some fireworks - with all the water and air show, in the bay area, on Saturday. Well, I don't know what was the occasion. But here's some pictures that I took with the phone. Yes. I was too lazy to operate the camera, ha ha.

Oh. The air show. It was really loud. Yes. We were standing right below those jets. Super loud indeed. But reminded me of my man, *teehee!

Well anyways, I have some assignments to do. And now, I'm accompanied by some fresh grapes that I've just bought. Plus, I really need to start and count my expenses.

Good night.



Oh, P.S - mind the few pictures. Not in the mood to post pictures.

Bee.

Hi! How was your weekend? Mine was . . . extremely greaaaattt! I was really ecstatic and jumpy and all that. Really. Spent the Saturday with my man Boggie! Yay! It was supeeeeerrrr fun!! So, is it okay for me to share my happiness in this reading? *teehee

People usually spend the day from the sun rises till it sets, right? But for us, it was the other way around, on this particular day. A little information here, the sun rises in Singapore at around 7am and it sets at about 7.30 at night. So imagine yourself how amazing is that. Ha! Not really, I'm exaggerating. I sometimes lost track of time though. Oh well, where was I? Ah yes. The day. Oh. I'll start a new paragraph then . . .

Well, okay. I woke up very early on Saturday. It was still dark outside. Seemed it was like at 2am, is it 2am? I asked myself. No. It was 4ish. Had a quick run to the bathroom, cause my man will pick me up in a minutes time! Yay!

Okay, to make long story short. We spent the day by strolling around the country of Singapore (I'm not mimicking those beauty pageants who delivered it wrong, if you know what I mean, if not just skip this whole thing in this bracket - ha! This is real you know, Singapore is a city AND a country too. Ha ha!!). Had quite a long walk around the Esplanade, and watched the sunrise around the area. Oh! It was near the Singapore Flyer thingy, where there was a bench looking at the view of the bay. It makes you feel like you're not in Singapore, at all. Really. The scenery and the surroundings of that particular place made me feel like I'm in a blockbuster movie that was filmed in . . . New York or something (haven't been to NY before, so I don't know if it's true or not, ha ha).

Oh, we had a very late brunch before, so we then had a late lunch at the Gardens by the Bay, right after we strolled around the area. I think it's not that 100% complete, though. The gardens, I mean. I don't know if it's true or not, it's just my humble opinion.

The day was filled with lots of joy and laughter. Those unforgettable moments will be kept in my pocket of memories forever. Other than Jakarta and Bali, I couldn't really believe that we could actually get lost in a new city. Literally. We almost got lost. Had some confusion on the lanes of the MRT, ha.

An almost 12 hours spent with my Boggie wasn't really enough. Seriously. Seemed the whole world was ours. Cheesy? No, it's true. Really!! Especially when we were just the only ones in the middle of street. And hugged each other while waiting for the crossing light to change. Really. Wished the time could just stop. For a little while. But it surely felt, that time froze.

My man is the ultimate gift for me. A gift from our Lord Jesus Christ. God is so great, and His love endures forever! I will surely keep this plant of love from God, grows. I really can't wait for HIS plans towards me, us, and our future!

And by the way! A little something to end the reading . . . Found a cute little coin purse from Alphabet Bags in Rockstar right after church. This is one of my way to keep my B in my arms whenever and wherever I go.

I'm having a morning class tomorrow and I should get my beauty sleep right now. Goodnight and talk later!

S-Gee.

Greetings from the land of the . . . er . . . Tigers? Is it? Or Lions? Hm . . . Oh well whatever. Singapore. I've been away from the laptop for quite some time, and I really miss my big mac back home :(

Singapore has been treating me . . . well enough. Have been strolling around Bugis, back and forth. Along the Riverside and around Holland Village. And yet, I have not been to Orchard for once. And yes, Singapore is not all about Orchard, people. (Well, this goes to . . . typical Jakartans who like to go and shop for some certain 'brands' that are already exist in Indonesia, ha! Well, you know what I mean, rrrighttt? - or so I hope). Well, scratch the 'for once' part, I had to go there on Sunday - and it was only for church, though.

Well, anyways . . . since mommy is still around, there's no 'homesick' or whatever. And yes, I hope there will be no homesick-ness affect me. After she'll go back home, the grands will come and visit me! So I guess . . . it would be fun! Well, it would be good eat-outs and shopping for me then. HA! Hm . . . what else to be shared . . .

First of all, since the company's blog is taking its first steps . . . I am also a . . . what should I say . . . contributing writer/blogger? Ha, oh well. I really appreciate and truly honored for the kind words of the description, that was written by the boss, ha ha! Well, you could go and click the blog, here. Only if you want, though - ha ha!

OH! And one last IMPORTANT thing! I really love how my Lord Jesus shows His love upon me. He always surprises me with His last-minute miracles, which makes me love Him more and more each day! By this, I am leaping in faith in every step of my life. I am so blessed, and I can't thank HIM enough. He really is my Mighty King and Savior!

I am now missing home. Really.

Short Talk.

Hey! Due to the short trip I had with the grands, I've been MIA since last week. Lots of things happened during the trip, and trust me . . . there were lots of shopping going on as well, ha! Well perhaps, I'm going to share about it all tomorrow. Pinky promise!

Guess my energy's already 20% now, and I really need a very nice good night sleep tonight. Will be hitting the bed real soon. . . well, after I hit the "Publish Post" button, that is. Ha ha.

I'll talk soon. Seriously!

Twenty Twelve.

A new year is already ahead of us. Geez, I just can't believe how time flies so fast! It's already 2012, and I'm just amazed on how great is my God that I could still be alive - and almost aged a fifth of a century! I just can't thank HIM enough!

As for me, I had the most memorable end of the year experience with my B. In the island of gods, that is. Bali. Yeppp. Since I was with my family, he was with us for most of the time! Although it was a short one, those two days in paradise was really amazing. I just know that it's all because of HIS grace. I was very . . . ecstatic, that we could spend time to get along with each other - and of course with my family! Oh, and had a nice little private course on aviation by the beach! It was surely fun! And to be honest, I feel kinda smart now - after knowing JUST a little bit of those aviation thingy. Ha, ha! Can't wait to learn more from him!

Didn't get the chance to go around Bali, though. Just had the chance to went around the hotel area, which was Nusa Dua, and a quick look in Seminyak. It was surely packed! Most probably with Jakartans like me, ha ha!

Had a New Year's brunch with the family at The Grand Cafe in Grand Hyatt after church.

OH! This reminds me! Went to two services today - first with my B and the other with my parents. Yes. I'm still amazed until now. Seriously. I've just had THE BEST day to begin the year! Can't thank my GOD enough, like . . . seriously. HE is so great!

I wish you all a new beginning of a new hope, with an overload amount of joy & happiness!

European Eatings.

As I have a heart to explore my taste-buds, I'd like to share what findings that are yummy for the tummy that I found during my Europescape! First of all I'm sorry if the resolution of the following pictures aren't that good, as I took those from my Blackberry - cause it was quite hard to eat with one hand and take a picture with the other hand. At the same time. Alone that is. Ha! Okay let's start.

My heart fell in love really deep for this lovable macaroons store in Paris - Ladurée. When you enter the store, you could see the fancy decorations that are very luxurious and oh-so-Parisian - though I thought the store would smell so sweet by the first step you made, but it doesn't have that sweet fragrance that I hoped it would. With a little help from Wikipedia, it told me that they were the 'pioneers' of macaroons and about 15,000 of those little colorful macaroons are sold everyday! Imagine that. And of course, they. . . are . . . delightful!

Strolling around in Le Marais in Paris, which Mas Johann told me it's the 'hippest and fashionable hang-out place for people our age', we went to this market that sells many variety of food. From simple Italian, to fusion Japanese, and of course . . . my favorite, the exotic Lebanese food. And the market was a food market, but then there was small shops around it. The one that caught my attention was the store that sells many vintage stuff, from old films to polaroids! I didn't took a picture of how the market is situated cause it was so full and I couldn't be bother, ha ha! But here are the pictures of what I ate. I loveeee Middle-East cuisine, as they are yummy and yet healthy! And very exotic.

Oh! The gelatos and sorbets are very. . . tasty. And of course yummy for the tummy! *teehee* And you know how hard it is to take a picture with one hand, while the other is holding a cone-full of 3 different flavors of gelato. And not to mention, the ice cream sandwiches are also lovely.

Since my first visit to Amsterdam, when I was like. . . 12? I don't know I forgot, anyways. . . I've always eat these yummy fries with the signature Dutch mayonnaise. You could simply buy it on the streets, they usually have fries vendors all over Amsterdam. Just simply donate your 2.50 euros, and there you go. . . you'll have your hot fries with melting mayonnaise on top in no time.

Let me think. . . what other junks that I consumed. . . Oh, these nutella-filled donuts. Well, we actually have those kind of donuts in Jakarta, you could find them in fj'L. But you know, why pay much when you could enjoy those fatty-yummy donuts that you could buy for only half a euro in a bakery shop right around the corner? Haha! Oh, and nutella-topped crepes. They are . . . heavenly.

Oh, can't be missed: Paris Starbucks. Yup. They sell pancakes. And all those mouth-watering sweets. Not to mention the very Rococo-ish interior. For a Starbucks. Just wow. And I know I'm being so. . . lame. But whatever.
