Change of Wind

These few weeks, I’ve honestly been so much in the sinking mood. So much to think, consider, weight, take care of. So many weird pressures at work. So many interpolations at life. I didn’t feel like doing anything, even socializing. There was slightly the urge to do crazy things: bungee jump, sky dive. In the end, I kept on sinking deeper into my shell. But I’m glad I took the necessary to move to make the change.

I strong heartedly decided to cycle, went to east coast, no matter what, even it had to be alone. I felt like doing it. I need to pushed every burden inside out. I wasn’t alone in the end. It was with a friend of mine. A new friend but we have always been able to talk and share a lot. It was fun, though tiring. More than fun, it was totally relieving. It was also quite beneficial since we could share our thoughts and opened the mind of one another. When it was Monday, I was just so glad I decided to do it. I could just face the Monday differently. Not so much resenting it.

And just today. I met a friend I met on the net for like 7 years (?). So long but we’ve never met although we kept a good contact of each other and kept on talking different things. In the beginning I was a bit nervous but I insisted to myself that it’s time and I’m so glad that we did. It was really nice and interesting. I just feel I’ve known her for so long but now I know her personally. So if you’re reading this, I feel grateful. Thanks. Like I mentioned, let’s do it again next time .

Living in Singapore, separated from your loved ones, family, relatives, friends might take its toll. You may start forgetting about the importance of socializing, getting tied up totally with work, missing the balance of life, or even being individualistic. You may start feeling empty. Now when it happens to me again, I just need to remind myself that I can’t let the routines eat up the best of me. When it happens, make the shift! Since it’s only you yourself who can urge yourself to do it. Happy Wednesday! Weekend and Halloween are coming like fast!

Was back from Jakarta

Actually, I’ve been back from Wednesday evening.

The vacation itself entirely was fun and tiring. I didn’t have real chance to meet everyone actually but I almost managed to get a grab of everyone I originally placed on agenda. I visited my fam in Cengkareng, Lippo Karawaci, the usual Taman Anggrek, Binus – of course, Kota Tua, Glodok Area, Pisa Cafe – Menteng (again), and ending to visit my mom and sis in Kelapa Gading. Agenda was almost 100% fulfilled.

Out of Singapore

I will be out of Singapore again for the next one week. Going back to Jakarta to meet the blackout and *hopefully not* flooding again. Expect some updates after next week. Wish me a happy vacation guys!

A lifetime dream fulfilled: Formula 1 GP

The three tiring days and nights, the thunderous streaking sounds of the 20 cars, the crowd who were ecstatic chasing around those cars, and the excitement and entertainments on the field, I will never forget. Pictures speak more than words. Finally a lifetime dream, fulfilled.
