My first week in Singapore

I was quite .. a bit hard to find the words but just say that .. have lots of doubts and thoughts in my mind about finding jobs in Singapore. So I will summarize my week in one post :p Monday, I was staying at home, while Iwan, Wary and pFreddy were going for work. Felt so strange. I sent out many applications, tailored my resume, and edited the cover letter. Waited and waited. No reply came. Tuesday, Still the […]

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

Do nothing, nothing to do?

If someone asked me what were my activities for the whole day, then I may be confused about the answer. Why? Starts with my morning routine, woke up, washed my face and my mouth, drank some water, turned on TV, watched “Early Edition” back-to-back with “The Guardian”, had my breakfast. My mom asked me to be alert if there is someone deliver the food, which means I need to pick it and pay it. I was thinking to go swimming […]

[J-Drama] Bloody Monday

I just finished watching this drama. For me, it’s very tense drama. It’s been a while since I watched such a serious drama especially about hacking, terrorist and virus attack. Moreover, the casts are teenagers and there aren’t many senior actors/actresses (as my knowledge). You can find more about the cast from D-Addicts here. This story is taken from a same title manga, or you may say it’s live action of the manga. The main character of this story name […]
