Be Well Be Happy Be Safe Be Willing Be Able Be Loved Be Wild Be Helpful Be Yourself and through it all, just remember to JUST TO BE Those words were on my farewell card from one of my best friends Maree from Australia. I met her for the first time from Monash International Student Friendship Program. The Monash staff, Renee, matched us up because we live on the same road differs by blocks.

Me and my quiet time
Celia’s, my roommate’s alarm rings at 7 every morning because she goes to work about 8. As usual, I wakes up too. Well, since I used to wake up early anyway. We’re having breakfast, chatting – sometimes continuing what we talked yesterday or maybe talking about something which comes up from the Channel News Asia. Then she offs to work and here I am, alone. I got job as web developer within a week in Singapore. It’s quite fast according […]
Inspire and inspiration
These are inspirational quotes that I found from a site (which is I forgot ^.^). I hope can inspire you though The universe is one great kindergarten for man. Everything that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson. The mountain teaches stability and grandeur; the ocean immensity and change. Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes–every form of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its impress upon the soul of man. […]
Some motivational quotes…
If people are coming to work excited . . . if they’re making mistakes freely and fearlessly . . . if they’re having fun . . . if they’re concentrating doing things, rather than preparing reports and going to meetings – then somewhere you have leaders. – Robert Townsend When he reached the New World, Cortez burned his ships. As a result his crew was well motivated. – The Hunt For Red October We know nothing about motivation. All we […]

Uniquely (my first two nights in) Singapore #2
Saturday, January 31 Didik has something to do around 11, therefore I was waiting for Iwan to wake up so that I can move in to his place and waiting for another friend, Celia to come to Didik’s place. Both of them came as Didik left the house therefore I called Iwan asking him about the time. Therefore, Celia and Wira, her boyfriend were helping me moving from Didik’s to Iwan’s which is still around Bishan but different blocks. After […]
Uniquely (my first two nights in) Singapore #1
Friday, January 30 (continuing my previous post…) I flew to Singapore using Citilink, subsidiaries of Garuda Indonesia, 1050 AM flight. My friends and I decided to use it since it’s a budget plane. Despite the bad rumors about the lateness of the airlines, it departed and arrived per schedule, 1300 PM. After collecting our luggage which took around 30 mins due to not many lines were opened, we bought the ferry ticket Batam Singapore, SGD16 each of us. Taking taxi […]
Leaving on a jet plane :D
Borrowing the term from a song title, yes, today is my last day in Surabaya because tomorrow, I’ll be flying to Singapore 🙂 This is not my first time fying overseas without my family, but somehow, whenever I remember that I’m leaving them soon, well, I was trully touched and merely just wanted to cry :p This time, I didn’t have big feast, I just have small farewell lunch with some of my ex colleagues, thanks to my bro (in […]
