so, Eevan, here you go, gonna satisfy your little eyes with great pictures!
start using facebook please! this is serious!

FIRST DAY

Miranda picked me up at airport with her best friend, Carmen Ang. we directly headed to Miranda's place to put my luggage and we went to the gym.

this picture is taken near the pool. we swam using these clothes (not swimming suit) which caused us almost being caught by the security guard =| we ran like crazy caused the guard was after us!

then we went to have a fish spa at SIN MING called TOOTHLESS FISH SPA. it belongs to Carmen's dad anyway. we went there with Tiffany Mak, a very pretty Hong Kong girl=)

Carmen - me - Miranda - Tiffany
anyway, Carmen is a singer! her voice was great! her mom was also a singer and a great composer. Carmen gave me a CD with all the songs she sang by herself inside on the last day. Gonna upload the song "Close To You" which was sang by her pretty soon=)
Tiffany herself is a very stylish person, a model, and yes she owns an online store! i forget the site, gonna ask her and tell you guys=) she's your type, man!

then we went to ION!



this picture is taken inside of a large Christmas tree at ION




see the Christmas tree behind? yes, i went in there just now=D

had late dinner at 9 pm with Eric Tedja at Boon Tong Kee, Eric is my childhood friend. He's always on time. We promised to meet at 9, and he had been waiting for us even before 9!


we went to Clark Quay after dinner



have some drinks at a place called CLINIC


this place design's is like a real clinic. with bed for patients as chairs, and take a look at the chairs we're sitting!
anyway Van, most of the places to eat and drink at there is like either club or bar or pub, something like that. we're under age, so we're not allowed to order either beers or wine, just plain drink, children's drink.

oh, Miranda really hate it when i told her that i was hungry. well, she said that i eat like a monster. like when i woke up in the morning, the first thing i would ask her is, either "what time is it?" or "what's for breakfast?" and she hate it when i ask her to bring me to nice place to eat cause according to her, i have to shop a lot, not eat a lot =_=" she couldn't accept the fact that i need snacks! when she was mad at me, i remind of you, cause you've always been calling me "food porn!" aww..

SECOND DAY
lunch at OOTOYA - ORCHARD CENTRAL! with Eric, Miranda of course, and Tiffany your dream girl, ehm!



Eric recommended me to order this. I forgot what it is called but this food is damn delicious! with mashed potatoes and seaweeds on the rice, this is the best Van, you should try them someday! the soup is also very very very tasty!

envy my-long-spider-legs, Van? =P



Tiffany is not that short, okay? i am wearing heels, she's also about 165 cm, like me!

then we went to HAJI LANE (Angeline and Tiffany recommended this place for us)
Eric didn't join us cause he had a Prom Night party that day and Tiffany had something to do, so, just me and Miranda!

those shops at Haji Lane are really cool! But it's nearly 4 pm when we went there, the shop at there closed at 5 pm=(

finally we had our late night snack at SPIZE! and Indian cuisine restaurant!

you can see many Indonesian at there. it opened till 6 am! wow! the music at there was really loud, but you can sit at outdoor, where it's quieter.
like about 11 pm, nearly 12, Isnu Adam came and joined us at there. he's one of Miranda's friend, he used to study at Singapore, now he's studying at Melbourne. he had just arrived from Melbourne.

then we headed to Miranda's house. while Miranda was writing some letters for his friends, me and Isnu cooked INDOMIE!! yes INDOMIE GORENG from Indonesia at err, 1 am? 2 am? i don't remember! but Miranda din eat of course, she's not a monster, she ate properly. LOL Isnu stayed till 4 am that night, and when Isnu has left, Miranda continued writing the letters..

THIRD DAY
wonder why i kept mentioning about lunch not breakfast? cause we slept at 4 am everyday during my visit, and woke up at 10 pm! but today, we have our semi-breakfast-pre-lunch at CRYSTAL JADE XIAO LONG BAO


and this is Isnu!

err, i don't remember what we did after lunch. maybe Starbucks or shopping but i remember that we had our dinner at MARCHE (Vivo City)



Isnu didn't join us because he has a reunion with his friends. Marche is a very unique restaurant. they gave you a card when you get in, you walked around and order some food. it's like erm, self service food court. but you've gotta see the decoration and atmosphere. it's an awesome place with awesome food!

after dinner, we watch "2012", midnight show with Isnu. well, a little story about Isnu. he's a nice guy. Right after we watched the movie, it was like 2 am, so we called for taxi. a taxi came and we asked Isnu to get in first cause he's alone. but he gave up the taxi to us! poor Isnu, the taxi we called for him din show up. =( he also helped us to carry our stuffs. well, it's like a custom there maybe, cause my dad's friend at Thailand is also like that, help us to carry our stuffs aka girls, but well, i think it's hard for me to find a guy in Medan who will open and hold the door for you, help you with your shopping bags, or even hail a cab in the rain for you, and open the taxi door for you. well, it's hard to find such guys at Medan, but yes, that's Isnu=)
if you noticed at what i bought that day, inside that blue plastic bag, there are 2 thick and super heavy books. you know what books, yumm-o with Rachal Ray! yes! my favourite chef! i have James Oliver's but i don't have hers, so i bought them!

FOURTH DAY
Miranda was too sick i guess, that on fourth day, she kicked me to Isnu=( well actually, right after we came back from Vivo, Isnu texted Miranda. idk what they talked about, but Miranda said that Isnu wanted to go to Queensway that day, asked us if we want to join. i said i want but Mir din want, so that day, Isnu became my tour guide!
so early in the morning, ehm, 10 am, he waited for me at the bus stop near Mir's condo.
well, Queensway is a mall where they sell all stuffs that has things to do with sports! Isnu himself is a sport maniac, he do sports like crazy, this is serious, Van! he eat and do sport like crazy! anyway, he planned to buy new shoes and wanted to look for the model at Queensway, so i accompanied him there.
then we had our, ehm, semi-breakfast-pre-lunch (again) at a Hongkong restaurant a mall nearby called Anchor Point!

guess which is mine and which is Isnu's!

then we walked to IKEA, to have the best meatballs!


idk what's wrong with me that day but i ate so little! see this 10 meatballs? i shared with Isnu, i only eat half of them and i don't really eat the mashed potato. screw me!

okay, picture time, this was taken at Paragon's taxi stand.

Isnu - me

we went to Paragon to buy "Mei Cen Xiang" aka "Bakwa". What's that? GOOGLE IT YOU LAZY BUMPS! haha. we also went to Toy R Us, Isnu wanted to buy something for his little brother. He bought him a Patrick Star!!

after that we went to accompany Miranda to shop at Great Wall. we're going to have a BBQ party that night, so..

we're rushing that afternoon caused the BBQ started at 5 and it was nearly 5 but we haven't prepared anything yet! while Miranda's maid was cooking some fried rice, I marinated the chicken, Isnu fried the french fries, Miranda also, it was a very busy afternoon.

hey, you know, i smell like pig that night i guess. cause i was helping at the kitchen, the maid was cooking, and you know the smoke and eww they sticked like sticker at my hair, causing my hair smell like EWWW

thennn, ooppsss, no no no, we're not yet doneee! hahaha. we went back to condo, me Mir Isnu and Carmen. watched a very very very very scary Thailand ghost movie! with Mir's cousin, Brenda and her friend. you know i can't stand watching such movie so i hid myself using Isnu's jacket and asked him to tell me the story. like "has the scary part over?" or "err, what's happening?" or "is that little girl a ghost?" sorry Isnu=)
then Isnu, Miranda, Carmen, Sherman, and I headed to Geylang! if u think that we're going to anmo there, then u need to clean your mind you dirty-minded! ahhahah we prawn fishing there! it belongs to Carmen's dad too! no no no, the place is so far away from those anmos so it's a very very very safe place, okay?


Isnu - me - Carmen


Sherman - Carmen


MIranda - me

i was so sick that night, see that red jacket? well, i lent it from Isnu. i felt like nausea. look at my ugly sleepy dork stupid idiot insomnia face, and you'll understand.

by the way, the BBQ ended at 12, we went to Geylang at 2 am, and we had another prawn BBQ at 6 am!! does that sounds cool? we at BBQ prawn for breakfast!

FIFTH DAY
hmm, nothing much about today. went to SMU flee market, then went to Singapore Expo Hall. We went to a church, called err, Harvest? hmm that church rocks, it's like a rock concert!! it was so fun to be there!! they played electric guitar, bass, everything! we jumped and screamed inside! it's a church, modern church, which doesn't look like church! i had a lot of fun at there! really, it's like you went to Led Zeppelin's concert! and the songs they sang, not like those slow Christmas songs, the songs were like rock band's song! Carmen and Sherman were Christian. while me and Miranda, we're Buddhist. but we don't mind, it's a really great place!
after church service, we went to, Burger King at Raffles!! yes! with Sherman's friends! they're like 30 of us!!! imagine!! we went home pretty early that day, cause we have to pack our stuffs. i don't feel like leaving actually=( they're so friendly and great! also independent! i had too much fun at there!

SIXTH DAY / LAST DAY



back to reality - schools, homeworks =| they're great friends. i feel lucky to have the chance to meet and know them.

Isnu looked so ugly right? even uglier than the ugly duckling huh? haha okay, but he's really ugly, either when he smiled or not, on PICTURES! haha he looked good in the reality. (i wrote this paragraph because when Isnu read this post, he told me that he looked so ugly. i understand how he feels, so..you get what i mean, right, Eevan? haha)

so Eevan, don't you think that my trip to Singapore was awesome and fun? =D

cause when i close my eyes i think of you

baby are you doing fine?
cause when i close my eyes and take deep breathe
i can see you, and i can feel you
i have a flashback of the past
and i can see you smiling at me

baby is there any life after you?
i don't know
i don't want to take any lucky guess
i am too afraid to guess
and i want to know what's for sure

baby do you still remember that time?
the time your fingers fit perfectly among the spaces between my fingers
the time you gave me your shoulder to lay on
the time i smiled because of you
and i realize that you are the one i want

baby what is greater than you?
i believe that nothing is greater than love
and you are the love, the love of my life

baby i am still in love with the same you
and teach my how, teach me how to resist the tempatation

and baby, tell me,
what is more temptating than the temptation itself?

the tricky track

can't believe it that today is already 18th of January. time flies too fast. i wanna stay as young forever. i wanna stay as a teenage girl as ever, with life like a roller coaster - where sometimes i am up, and sometimes i am down. laughing at every single thing i heard, not worry at all about what will happen tomorrow, living life as fine, day-dreaming all the time, fool around, feel the atmosphere of excitement everyday.
wonder if i am ready to get out of the 'safety box' my parents have created for me. to break free and fly is a dream of every bird who lives in a cage.

love life : my first love

it's a bit strange when i read the questions people have been asking me on my formspring. most of them were asking me about my love-life. when i talked about it on my twitter, Ivan said that it's bcs ppl rarely heard stories about my love-life. well, i am going to talk about my first love here. people said that first love is the sweetest love and most difficult to forget.

i fell in love for the first time when i was in the 4th grade of primary sch. this guy is so called Geoffrey Tanudjaya. well, i've known him since the 3rd grade cause we're in the same examination class. he's a very smart, hard-working, and nice guy. i still rmb when his bestfriend, Valencia Gunawan, delivered a love-letter for me and told me that it's from Geoffrey. i was embrassed that time. i decided to throw it away not only bcs of i am afraid mum would be angry if she found out, but also bcs my math teacher, Mr.Roni, took the love letter from me, and read it out loud in front of the class. my classmates also his kept on teasing us all the time. in his letter, he told me that he loved me and asked me to be his girlfriend. of course i did replied him, but i din write any love-letter, just plain letter. i have forgotten what i wrote, but Geoffrey was a very sweet guy. even before he confessed his feeling to me, he used to buy lots of snacks from canteen, and share them with me. we're not in the same class, but still he came to my class everyday :D

he gave me a rose on valentine, it was not a real rose, it was made out of some clothes. he wanted to give me directly, that's why he asked me to wait for him in some place, but i din have the courage to meet him face-to-face cause his friends were teasing us. so he asked Jessica to give it to me. when i brought the rose home, my whole family was surprised, my aunts, uncles, grandma, also my parents. their 4th grade nephew, grand-daughter, daughter received a rose from a guy? LOL

he gave me lots of gifts, some holiday souvenirs, snacks, rose, but my most favourite one is a pen case. idk what to call it, tempat pen? pen case?
we're in the 6th grade of primary sch that time. there's a month where he din talked to me at all and i was pissed off. my best friend, Miranda Mazuki, used to sit in front of him (they're in the same class) told me nothing's wrong but still i was very angry. later then, i found out that he's studying harder to get more money from his parents, so that he could buy me more-expensive-than-a-fake-rose valentine gift. so sweet ya? (i knew it from his best friend) hahaha.

he texted me at 12 am on my birthday. he used to be the number ONE :)

i used to watch him playing basketball at sch every Friday after class. he's the reason why i decided to join athletics, cause we trained around basketball court! he joined the basketball team :)

oh yeah, fyi, during my 2 years relationship with him (4th to 6th grade), we texted like once a month, and rarely, almost never called each other. and even when we met at sch, we just smiled, nvr talked to each other. we talked at to each other, face-to-face for about 15 minutes per week, bcs we're in the same mandarin tuiton. u asked me how can we made it to 2 years? haha, idk either.

wonder how he looks like? nah, this is the latest picture of him i stole from his facebook :P


anyway people, this is a random fact. idk if even my close friend notice about this, but every time i fell for a guy. there're 5 similarity of them : thick eyebrows, wear glasses, prefer to use Bahasa Indonesia, tidak sekolah di Indonesia :(, and the most omg part : orang Jakarta! is it truly really a coincidence?
It's not like those are the things I am looking for in a guy, no, this is just saying.
