I'm baaaaaaaaaaack

I have not written anything for … *checks blog* …. *gasp* I forgot what the URL is until after I logged in to Blogger.


A year and a half has passed and let’s see what has happened. Since Feb last year, I went on many2 trips in and out of the country, met a great guy and married him, started working in Singapore in September until now. Well, not anymore longer, I’ve got 4 days to go. You can’t imagine how ecstatic I am about going home. If there was a heart-o-meter probably it will burst with my excitement.

Honestly, I did not feel like writing anything and it felt like torture to write stuff when I had to for the past year. But I’m glad the dead-wit feel is gone.

I’m staying at this 12x12 feet room in a Hotel called Ibis. This is part of the project cutting-cost. And Nice me don’t want to make a fuss out of it. Although it’s a bit bigger than a fridge, I can’t complain much about it except that there’s no Valet to bring my luggage up and down. The Ibis chain runs approximately 800 hotels around the world mainly in Europe. Either it’s running on franchise or/and the sole owner is extremely rich.

So, what’s left to do in Singapore for 4 more days? With no friends (that I feel like hanging out with). The only past time that I can do on my own without feeling like a social-outcast is shopping. Add reading but I just finished a whole book yesterday. First half in Batam and the other half in the hotel room.

I took the afternoon ferry to Batam to get myself rolled like dough. It is not by any chance that I am called Donut. After much fickleness of cousins-in-law of going or not, I decided to screw them and go for a little adventure of my own. I had fun. Fun is getting on a boat or anything that floats in the sea. I am seriously addicted to the sea. Non-residence go to Batam for mainly these reasons – Golf, spa or golf+spa=’don’t let your man go play golf there, if you know what I mean. They get a lot of Singaporeans coming down since that’s the nearest land – 45mins away. But Batam is very much Indonesia in terms of culture, language and economy.

Time to roll-off the office and try not to spend any money buying crappy clothes. Did I say I am so excited to go back to KL?
