First blog entry from home =)

The Saturday Hell memory has apparently disappeared from my mind; a part of me somehow just refuse to remember it, let alone reciting it. So I guess I wouldn't say anything about that horrible journey from Singapore to Johor as well as that horrible happening in Larkin bus terminal as well as that horrible flight by AirAsia as well as the horrible circumstances that awaited me at Soekarno-Hatta Airport. Rest assured, I have pledged to myself the following:
1. I will never, ever take any of AirAsia flight anymore.
2. I will never, ever take indirect flight home anymore, any flight home would be straight to Surabaya.
3. I will never, ever overspend anymore so that I could still have enough money to fly straight to Surabaya.
4. I will never, ever set my feet on Johor Baru anymore, at least not until the end of 2005.
5. I will never, ever let anybody else settling my tickets. I WILL SETTLE IT FOR MYSELF, for goodness' sake.

The only good thing was the breakfast with Winnie and Jasmine at Cartel, Tampines. And the gifts of course +D It's like, for the rest of the day, when I just wanted to burst into tears in front of public (yes, the day was that bad..), I just needed to re-read the letters again, look at the pencil holder again and I would think that things weren't that bad after all =) So thanks, pals..

So much for one day.

Oh ya, by the way the Hari Raya allowance this year has fortunately shot up in an exponential rate (no, no, not linear, Asih) it could definitely make up for the hellistic Hari Raya eve that I experienced. Oh well, if you convert it to Singapore dollars, it won't be much, so I won't. I would just tell it straight in Indonesian rupiahs: 620,000 rupiahs!! It's a lifetime record! Oh yeah, baby. With that, I could shop for thousands of CDs plus a few books to kill time here. Wheeee!

Speaking of killing time, it's sort of highly unlikely that I'd be working here. The only available job is, according to sister and cousins, being a shopkeeper. It's like, damn, if I have to sit all day long looking after the shop and waiting for the customer, I might as well just stone at home. Stoning at home is wayy better than stoning at somebody's shop! Mom offered me to take up some courses, so perhaps I would. She offered Mandarin or Japanese courses, but fascinated as I am over the languages of the world, I somehow don't feel like doing those courses right now. I prefer to go for culinary courses or perhaps guitar courses or drum courses. I wish I brought my guitar home. I am dying without a guitar by my side :( I think I'd try to persuade Mom-Dad to buy me a new one, my old one being lousy and all.

Oh and by the way we changed destination for holidays. Instead of going Bali, we are now heading to Central Java cities. It won't be as much fun, but Dad wanted a trip that enhances our cultural awareness (which obviously we kids don't have!), him being so interested in traditional stuff and all. So yeah, I couldn't say no anyway. Better go somewhere than not going anywhere at all. Perhaps would attempt to persuade them go Bali next year..

Wondering how was the Prom going.. dying to chat with friends back in Singapore but the download here is so slow.. MSN download still at 80% and it reads, "Estimated time left: 20min 50sec".. so oh well..

Oops, just remembered Mom asking me to search for hotels in Central Java, so I think I'd better go.. :D Take care Singapore..
