My year end wish list

Before 2010 changing to 2011, I have to write down my wish list!

Let's call this "my year end wish list"

Wish is not just wish, it can happen if you struggle, right? :)

1. Iphone

I hope I can buy my iphone this year, or first quarter of 2011

Really want it, so many cool functions inside

2. SLR camera: Canon 550d

I've been dreamt about SLR camera to support my online shopping!

Also, this camera can be used to capture beautiful moment of my life, and future life :)

3. Teeth Braces

Really need this one, I can do it anytime but I'm afraid if I go abroad, I won't have dentist to take care of it :(

4. Indomaret

Those 3 wishes will ruin this wish, haha, but still I believe next year ya :)

5. Get my scholarship

Amin, I've decided though!

Let's go get it!

Wish my wishes will come true

My peppermint life

Here I'm sitting, in front of my laptop, on my current chair..

Why current chair? It's because I am international assignee who don't have permanent seat,

so everyday I have to find who's the one taking leave in that day

Hihi, what a life, just enjoy it with smile :)

And today? I only have to update presentation and reading business case

Not as tight as previous day, even I can smell deeply my hot peppermint tea :)

Feel the smell, feel the taste, catch the glory of life
Ahh, love this..

Indian Face?

One question in my head lately, "do I look like Indian?"

Why? I don't know, Indian man always smile at me, talk to me, and ask me whether I am Indian or not

Then I asked my friend, Indian woman from India about it, and she said "yes, you look like Indian, white Indian"

LOL

Will

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength,

not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will

Night at Changi

It's 2.09 AM when I started typing this post

I've been sitting in McDonald, Terminal 2 Changi Airport for 2 hours

I was accompanied by mellow song which maybe launched when I was a baby..

Also by my finished meal, ow, again Big Mac meals for late dinner, no wonder I gained my weight..

A book titled "9 Matahari" or in english it called "9 Sun", a very wonderful book I've ever read, very motivational, very inspiring...

Those things perfect my waiting activity in Changi which will end 3 hours later *haha!

I'm so lucky, having my boyfriend accompanied me also by chatting via yahoo messenger, the yellow smile face one which eases my long distance relationship ^^

I looked around, and see some people slept on the chairs placed in the corners

Some people listened to the music by their ipods

Some people shared their stories with their friends, and even their kids

All of these things made me learn that people have their own stories, different taste, different meaning, different destiny

Enjoy your story, enjoy your Big Mac :D

Windmill I

Once upon a time, there's a story about a girl who had so many dreams

She painted her dreams into colors on her small windmill

Secret by One Republic

I need another story

Something to get off my chest

My life gets kinda boring

Need something that I can confess

'Til all my sleeves are stained red

From all the truth that I've said

Come by it honestly I swear

Thought you saw me wink, no

I've been on the brink, so

Tell me what you want to hear

Something that would light those ears

Sick of all the insincere

I'm gonna give all my secrets away

This time, don't need another perfect lie

Don't care if critics ever jump in line

I'm gonna give all my secrets away

My God, amazing that we got this far

It's like we're chasing all those stars

Driving shiny big black cars

And everyday I see the news

All the problems that we could solve

And when a situation rises

Just write it into an album

Sending it straight to gold

I don't really like my flow, no, so

Tell me what you want to hear

Something that will light those ears

Sick of all the insincere

I'm gonna give all my secrets away

This time, don't need another perfect lie

Don't care if critics ever jump in line

I'm gonna give all my secrets away

Oh, got no reason, got not shame

Got no family I can blame

Just don't let me disappear

I'm 'a tell you everything

Really love this song, so human with all unstable thingy :)

Hectic World

Singapore, the most hectic country in Asia, maybe

I don't know why but the sleepless city has awarded to New York, so maybe Singapore lost to New York, who knows.. haha

However, this city is very silent, no people walk and smile to each other, no help, no words

I don't know they are Singaporean or Expat, but they seem to be the same

Clueless, they maybe live to work, because everybody looks very "hot" while working

They speak their mind, they do their job with best effort, they struggling, they achieving

Do I like that?

The Singaporean, or maybe we can call the people who stand up in this city, am I one of them?

Geographically, yes :) but emotionally NO

I always be me, I don't live to work, I live to enjoy and thank to God

Keep giving the best, not only in my job but for everything :)

Hi Singaporean, talk more, smile more, achieve more, this is my pray :)

I am TKW!

Today I get my employment pass card!

I've proceed it last week, and finally I can have it! hihi

Soo nice that I can travel Indonesia- Singapore easily up to next year!

Yaaayyy, I am officially TKW (Indonesian Expat) :p

Working

Working overseas is tempting for single one.

High salary, great opportunity, and the main thing is no problem about familyI am actually lucky,

I am 21 years old single woman (but has made relationship ya!), who has been working in Singapore for 1.5 week

The problem first is all about language..

I can speak, and write English but it's hard for me to listen English

The most difficult is there are so many cultures here, so you can imagine Indian speaks Indlish, Chinese speaks Singlish, Britain speaks British, and so many others..

Then it became worse when I had to attend meeting and became the one who had to compile the meeting result..

You can imagine how stupid I was, hahaha

Then 1 week flows, and I feel better in listening

Everything seems clear, but then the problem is in working itself!

I have to struggle with all of numbers, many new terminologies, and have to adapt quickly!

Well, I cried once in the toilet, but then I erased my tears and promised to myself that I will fulfil my team and country's expectation :)

This is the challenge that is verrrryy rare to be gotten, and I don't want to lose it that easy

After this, I plan to get my master

Why? Actually I feel happy with my company, but then I realize that my dream is to be a good wife and mother, and great business woman :)

So I have to sharpen my knowledge not only in finance but also in marketing, human resource, and increase my communication skillI hope my dream will be come true :)

Wish me luckyo ^^

My new miracle water

I promised to myself that I will treat my face excellently if I reach my 20 something..

Well now I am 21 years old, and two weeks from now I will be 22!

Okay then, I deadly need something which can make me forever young *drama queen*

Before I went to Singapore, I tried to find the best facial treatment, with fair price

Then my choice goes to SK II, great product, a bit expensive

One of the best is its miracle water, the facial treatment essence or we can call it FTE

Simple one, just pour the water and tap to your face :)

Shining shining like young lady

Today I've bought it in vivocity in SK II center in Tangs

I bought the 250 ml one, for 229 Singapore Dollar

Quite expensive, but it's okay, I plan to have it for 1 and a half years since it can be used economically :p

Take a look at it!

Uuuuww, I'm very happy, I can make my face younger hahaha

Try it :)

He

When I was young *am I old now? haha*, I dreamed about my future husband

He was tall

He was handsome

He was so gentle

He is handsome

He is muscular

He is smarter than me

He is quiet

He is my mystery

Everything was scripted, everything must be perfect based on my lists

Until I met a man..

He is not that tall

He is not that handsome

He is big

But..

He is so gentle

He is smarter than me

He takes care of me more that do

He cried for my happiness

He does his business for me

He is funny

He always makes me laugh

He can make me happy when I fell down

He is nice

He drives his care trapped in traffic for two hours, just to pick me up without complain

He is cute

His family loves me so much

His love makes me melt

His love awakes me that I have wonderful boyfriend

His love makes me touched

His love makes me falling love with him, more each day

He is more that I can write....

He's everything for me

Actually I really want to get married earlier..

However, I just want him to be ready..

I won't ask him, I will let him shine ^^

Until the time for me to say "I do"

I love you, Marco

New Life

Here I am, typing in Park Avenue Residencies, Kim Yam Road, Singapore

I can't believe my dream came true..

It's so fast, just 3 weeks ago I deadly prepared my final presentation

I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, I was blank

Then 2 weeks ago, I did my presentation

That was under my expectation since I thought that it will be harder than before,

in fact it tested my way of thinking, my logic, and myself

Unbelievable, my finance director said "Fantastic" for what I've done for 9 months ^^

My hard work paid off ^^, Alhamdulillah

After that, I was busy with all of stuff about moving from Jakarta to Singapore

My luggage, dolls, food, books, and so many others

It was quite stressful, but I enjoyed it so much

Unilever is really a good company, they arranges everything, so I feel saved that everything would be perfect,

from apartment, I get it free

and for the airfare ticket, transportation from airport to apartment, and tempted Allowance

Can you imagine I paid fourth times bigger than before! Alhamdulillah, again and never stop say this..

September 30, 2010, I flied to Singapore with Singapore Airlines at 2.10

It was a good flight, food and service

Ohya, my mother and two sisters of mine came with me, but different flight

Well, you know that SQ is very expensive, if Unilever didn't pay, I don't want to take this flight xp

I arrived in Singapore at 4.45 Singapore time (+1 from Indonesia)

It's not hard to find the driver, since he brought paper listed my name ^^

Finally I came to this apartment.. cozy, nice, and so different from my kosan *of course, haha

It takes 5 minutes to shuttle bus, and to my office

Take a look at it!

Here my new life began... (continued)

Back to the Past

Time Capsule

You may feel quite familiar with "time capsule"

Commonly, people put their important thing (diary, goal, ribbon, etc) in one box, and then they keep it in the safest place for a very long time

Well, less or more, the idea is still the same: keeping what you think important for you

For this post, me and my friends agreed to share our goals in life for the time capsule :)

For 10 years from now, I will:

1. Have a wonderful family

a husband who can be "imam" in family

3 smart, sholeh and sholehah children who are very cheerful

We spend our time together, with laugh, with joy, and never forget the gift that Allah gives for us ^^

2. Have 10 business

10 business, not my husband's business

They are: Salon, spa, boutique, batik's house, restaurant, mini stores, handicraft's house, travel, drugstore and bread store

They run very well until I don't have to check them one by one ^^

3. Give more

Earn more, give more

Never forget that there's poor people's right in my money

4. Be able to spend my time: traveling!

Loves travel, but never stop being creative: find the network to business

Shopping in Barcelona, drink coffee in Amsterdam, Swim in Hawaii

Fun!

5. Healthy life, healthy us

No sickness, me and my family live healthy

6. 5 houses, 20 properties

Home is the life of family

There is large mushola, complete with Qur'an, tasbih, mukena, sajadah which always be used ^^

A pool, with beautiful garden

Business at home to make us remember that we love business so much

Properties: kosan, kosan, kosan
