Finally I can write again! For the whole 5 days I wasn't able to be online neither to reply text messages. Yeah, I've just came back from Singapore, with my family, and we enjoy the trip. It was quite exhausting and tiring for our legs to walk from one place to another place there, but within the time we took for walking from and to places, we saw many interesting things, plus accompanied by fresh air of Singapore, walking that far wasn't a problem.
Day 1
We were picked up by a van from my mom's big boss (and that was a good thing) to the apartment we were going to stay in. We stayed in Orchard Scotts and it was a pleasure living there; a clean, nice place, complete with room service, wide screen TV. The place was very comfortable to live in. We took a rest and packed out our luggages as soon as we arrived. I watched CSI: Miami, and Made (MTV program). At first we were confused on how to change the channel and things but finally the only one who mastered the TV was me. Muahaha.
In the evening, we ate dinner in Food Village in Takashimaya. Before having our dinner, we took some photos in front of Ngee Ann City, also visited Kinokuniya Book Store but didn't manage to buy a book because of the limited time--that my dad had made an appointment with my aunt to meet at Food Village. In Food Village I found fish-shaped dorayaki stand there. I bought it and.. it was juicy. Now I miss the fish-shaped dorayaki :(. There were also thin-sliced-fried potatoes satay. It was also delicious. Foods there ARE delicicous. However, I still prefer Surabayan foods, somehow. Maybe my tongue is already used to Surabayan foods XP.
Day 2
In the second day of our trip to Singapore, we had our breakfast first before we left apartment again to explore Singapore more. I took 1 glass of orange juice, 1 bowl of cereal, 1 pastry, and some scrambled egg. After finishing our breakfast we went to Sentosa. We took MRT from our apartment that is near to Newton MRT station. From Newton, we passed Orchard and Somerset to Dhoby Ghaut Interchange. Then we took North East Line to Harbour Front. Right after we went out from Harbour Front Station we entered Vivo City. We continued our journey to Sentosa and went there by sky train. Inside the sky train there was a Japanese family--I guess, because they were sound to speak Japanese for me. We went to Imbiah and took some photos there. Then my lil' bro, sis, also my dad and Robi played LUGE. I was tipsy--okay, not tipsy as I already know the exact meaning now but had kinda light motion sickness caused by the flu medicine I took in the morning so I didn't play LUGE along w/ them. After finished waiting for them playing LUGE, we watched 4D cinema. It was quite fun, that the seat we sat on could move along with the motions in the movie. But I still prefer the Pirates one that seats could produced water splash and could make us feel that we were really in the movie such as passed-by-insects-like feeling. Then we ate some hotdogs and continued our journey to Siloso by bus. Anyway, I found a hilarious thing in the bus:
In Siloso we visited Underwater World, visited the beach and went back to Vivo city. I've attached some photos I took in Siloso in the photo album above.
I found some interesting things in Vivo City. I bought a cute bag there, also bought some cute keychains for my friends. There's also Food Republic there and I ate Chicken Rice for dinner while Robi ate Hor Fun (I still don't know what actually is Hor Fun thou)
Day 3
This is the day when I made a stupid mistake. So we had our breakfast in apartment and my siblings swam in the morning. After taking a shower and getting ready, we went to Kinokuniya. My mom and I bought books there. I bought What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami. You can check out the book
here. I browsed more books there and I drooled (not literally yah). There are many great books, and comics. What a pity, Kinokuniya Book Store only had Alive manga till about.. volume 7 or 8, while Trimedia Book Store in Indonesia has had till maybe volume 14-17 already. Still, I was drooling, seeing so many books about illustrating, graphic design.. aww ♥. We continued walking to OG, and browsed clothes there. I found some promos for teens' clothes there but didn't purchase, cause, well.. the colors weren't colors that I actually like, also that I wanted to purchase a pair of pants, but pants there were too short! The promos were quite good--2 for S$ 20. Then we went to Plaza Singapore and I bought gifts for my friends and ought to pay total S$ 37.80. I was shocked that my money was already run out. My mom and Robi told me that my friend don't worth that much money that me myself hadn't even buy any cloth that day. I felt stress, guilty, and blamed myself. I ended up crying, seriously. Lessons I really learned: friends that I have don't worth that much money because they won't appreciate the gifts I bought with the limited money I got. Second: never buy any gifts for them again.
With the guilty feeling I carried on, my dad and I went to Singapore Art Museum (SAM) and I was once again disappointed. There was nothing interesting in SAM for me because I am interested in digital arts, not some historical arts. Plus I didn't get any useful catalog for Ce Huey and myself.
However, I was quite cheered up that my mom gave me more S$ 20 to buy new clothes (that as the matter of fact I didn't found any cloth that's match for me and didn't bought any)
For dinner we were treated eating at Bumbu Desa in Spore where my auntie manage. Then we spent the night, tired.
Day 4
Almost the last day that day. We went to Merlion Park and took some photos. After finished taking photos we went to Esplanade and explored around. We saw executed criminals with their last meal request photos along the hall to MRT. It was quite scary how some of them were executed by lethal injection, and some were executed by electric chair >,<. Next, we went to Suntec City Mall and had our lunch there. We also visited Fountain of Wealth and browsed clothes. As I said, I didn't find any clothes that suits me.
Day 5 - Last Day
My siblings and I went to sleep real late, enjoying night cartoon for the last night of the trip. We woke up late and they--my siblings went swimming as soon as we finished our breakfast. Me, accompanied my mom purchasing some goods to be brought home. We were already exhausted. In the afternoon we went to Changi Airport, and fortunately, my mom's working colleague was very kind that he ordered a van to pick us up so we wouldn't worry about carrying our heavy luggages in MRT to Changi. Things in Changi are really expensive that I couldn't buy a thing there. I tried to go online but the free computers there weren't working. Omg. Then we went boarding and got checked. Poor lil' sister, her bubble bottle were more than 100ml, and that was against the rule. The bubble bottle ended up in Changi's trash bin. The authorities were very mean. After having her bubble bottle disposed, she remained silent, hugging her teddy bear that she was still cheerfully played w/ my lil' bro before. The flight took 2 hours more, through bad weather (rain, fyi.)
It was a great experience there in Singapore. Plus, love the cheese cake. ♥ it. ♥ it. ♥ it. Aww, I think now I'm addicted to cheese cakee.. aww ♥♥♥~ gimme cheese cake!!

So, today, as usual I went to church.. and also as usual, I was late =p. This morning me and wallmaX crew gave Heaven--my friend at church, a gift. And it was a replica of Hitsugaya Toushiro, her and my favourite character in Bleach =)
And then I went to PTC to buy my needs for tomorrow's farewell camp and directly went home. At home I did my homeworks such as washing my clothes when suddenly, my uncle came... At first I wasn't concerned, cuz I thought maybe He got some business here, till I heard my lil sis said: "CEE! Komputernya mau digantii!!" (means: "Sis!! The computer would be changed by!!")
aa.. and that concerned me.
My house's computer= my life. Cuz I got maaaaaaany important documents there. If all of my documents sumed, it will have about 3 gigabytes. Or 4. (Most of them are pictures and images, also notes. Heheh. But they ARE important) So I immediately came into computer room and see what's goin on.. and...
well, I've wished once if I could get laptops or any computer and gadget goodies from any lottery. But I've never imagine to get a new flat LCD from my uncle.
IT WAS NEW! IT GOT A BOX.. bow wow..
What the heck is goin on.. OMG. It is very rare for any of my relatives to give me that expensive kind of thing. Once again, I wondered.. is this my lucky day? =)
perhaps.
Then, I continued my works. That today I have to wash my clothes, draw chibis for P.E practical assignment, and I want to finish up my scrap for the competition. Then, another thing I found.
As the LCD is being changed by a flat one, the CPU and other devices must be moved for safety sake. So the adaptor and the CPU place is switched. But, the problem is.. that makes the USB driver isn't easy to reach. So I search for a multi-USB driver in my papa's office, and I found... A WEBCAM. Oho, so all this time my pops is having a webcam??!
note this: there's an advantage of having a lavish pops ^^ << is it true lavish? in Indonesian it's called 'boros'

so.. this weekend.. is a gloomy weekend for me.. once again. So, since last weekend Bella, who was my close friend, made my flashdisk missed. I know from the beginning that she is totally careless.. but as a good friend, I lent her my flashdisk and I've told her to give my flashdisk back that day, sharp. But she forgot, and neither I. But I have many things to do! My time isn't only for concerning my flashdisk!! She should be rensponsible of it!!! Yeah, and in the next Monday, with puppy face she told me: "Nass, your flashdisk is missing! I couldn't find it anywhere!!" WTF?? Until now, I don't speak to her again. She thinks that my property is not important! If she thinks that it is important then she wouldn't miss it that easy. Almost all of my friends know that I'm not the type of person who easily lent my flashdisk..
Evenmore, when I came home last Thursday, I found my guitar had one of it's string broke.. Ohh man... Maybe now is my time to be on the bottom side of the life-wheel..
Today, I'm tired. Really tired. But I can't sleep. Yeah, sleeping seems like wasting time for me.. Workaholic you say? I'm not sure.. Haha..
So this morning I walked around 6km with Lydia and Pauline. Our destination was Rovina's house. Haha. It was fun, but exhausting. I think I'm gonna getting a flu.. Or maybe right now I'm having a flu... ==a
Hoa yeah.. about my final exam.. Now I feel like, the most important is that I pass. Now I'm not hoping for great marks. I'm not sure with my science. I'm afraid its marks wont pass the average score.. Maybe you would say that I'm so pessimistic.. Yes I am now. And? I don't know.. I hope this would not last for any longer. Me myself don't like myself now that now I'm so down, yeah.. pessimistic I say.. Like everything's ends are pointed to blame me.. Now I don't understand which is wrong and which is rite.. and which is human..
I'm confuse.. Once again, it's like I don't want to do anything.. Actually I want to buy "Yes Man"--Jim Carrey dvd. I really want to watch it. Interesting. But it seems I can't because tomorrow will be a busy day for me.. Janet's grandma died a while ago.. Tomorrow I'll come to the ceremony with Lydia and Pauline.. It's a must as a good friend of her.. And 5 p.m, I'll attend my friend's band competition. It will be her last performance before she fly to Singapore... It must be important lah! Is it that I don't hav time for myself? Well, what I call a time for myself is when I can watch dvd I want to watch, play guitar, exeperimenting with photoshop, drawing sketchs, being online and chat, and play games. But I can't do them rite now... Why? First, economy condition of my family. Dad always like groaning of it. Second, don't know why, when I'm free and have time to chat and so on.. my friends aren't online.. And I don't want to interrupt them with my gloomy aura..
About online.. I don't know if having online friends is normal.. Is it? Except you have foreign country friend. Like HoQ's--one of my friends--condition. She has maaany boy friends. And there she is.. unhappy. Umm, many boys of her 'friends' are making her as a toy. And, I don't want that happen to me. Ever. So, I want to prevent it.. but it seems like my way to prevent isn't right. And, I wonder if having online friends can make us rather unsocialable.. You see.. when online friends seems more than your real friends.
I am in confuse..

This morning, I was baptized! Man! It was an unforgetable moment, for me. So, first thing in the morning was, that I was late.. ==".. Actually a bit (I was about 10minutes late =p). And I wore a black t-shirt with black shorts. Imagine how dark my appeareance was!! Inside the car, in our way to our destination, my mom was angry to my dad because she feels that my dad wasn't care at all that me, the first children in the family, baptized this day. She said that this is an important moment so he must not miss it by not bringing a camera. Well, that is one of reasons we were late. The second thing was, that I had a headache ==".. It was a pain. I think it was because last night I stayed awake till 3 a.m.. Tomas, my friend from Slovenia was online, and it has been a loooong time that we haven't chat! That's why I was still awake till 3 a.m.. just to chat with him. Haha. But, I ended up having a headache =="...
Back to my baptizing moments.. so, I felt that I wasn't ready.. I couldn't freely sing along.. I wasn't ready because I recalled all my sins and I felt that I'm not worthy to be baptized.. You see.. I blamed myself for everything I've done, and the worst part: I couldn't forgive myself. Then, evangelist in front told parents to pray for their children. At first, I thought my mom and dad wont come and pray for me. Especially my dad (thinking that he wasn't care this morning). But I was wrong. The first one who came to me was my mom. She touched my shoulder and pray. I cried.. and it wasn't ordinary tears. I cried till almost making sounds. The bad and heavy tears type. Not long after that, my dad came. I was relieved. I saw my friend, Immalia, who was on the right side of me, had nobody to pray for her. Her mom didn't attend. I felt sorry for her. I was grateful to Him. Then I was baptized and it was time for changing clothes. I planned to not taking shower there and just changing my clothes instead. Unfortunately.. ohh mann.. Because I didn't change my unders (which was my stupidity that day), my dry T-shirt that I wore was wet and making a shape of my ***!! It was a stupid thing and it was embarassing.. By time passing my T-shirt dried quite fast.. But still, I was embarassed.
Aside of my stupidity today (hehe), tomorrow, precisely 8hours after this posting, I'll have my final exam which called UNAS (United Nation Association S***; << kidding XP).
I've studied hard, and now I'm hopeless. I'm confident enough to pass it, but not confident enough to make 9 for my average score.. Wish me luck.
Ja Ne~
