Here comes the season of upgrading and construction and that equates to tons and tons of dust particles tickling your nose and most importantly settling on your furniture it makes me squeal in agony.

Sounds wrong.

So that also equates to wrapping up every piece of furniture and covering walls with ornaments with plastic. Not to mention the whole evacuating of master bedroom kitchen and some parts of the hall. It reminded me of moving house. All this made me want to throw away my bed frame and get a nice new one from Ikea. We'll see what parents say to that!

Weather's quite mad today. Anyway I'll be off to Padang in two days time for 5 days. A whole new experience for photo-taking and also sights and sounds. There's a volcano there, I can't wait to see it.

I am still pondering over Khidir's invitation to go Cambodia with a team called Ignite? I can't remember. Ain's going too, that makes life a whole lot more fun. But I also want to backpack around Indo, or simply visit Jogja with Kyun and maybe a couple of friends to see all the temples and such.

I got additional students now. That'll boost my income madly.

Got slightly busy these days meeting up with people and spending time with you.

So I got back from Tioman! It was pretty amazing, for once I was overseas and not pining for someone. I think this trip was much better than previous, simply because of the company and more importantly the days doesn't feel rushed. The going there was rather fast! We caught the ferry at 1130 and was checked in by 1400.
The first day was nothing but just swimming and lazing around in the water in the afternoon after lunch. We had dinner early, played Monopoly Deal (which is a bloody addictive game) and soon after sambal stingray, then soccer and off to sleep.
Second day was snorkelling in the morning til noon, busy throwing bread near people so the fishes would be wild around them ^^, had a nice lunch and played games and chat. Went to fly kite and bothering cats (: And trying to get extension for another day!
Dived on the third day on a nice morning and went back to a new room (the Superior but I preferred the cheaper one) where 4 people squeezed in. Short nap before hitting the sea again. It was an interesting night where a HUGE bug the size bigger than a fist come hurtling at the restaurant and we ran away, cowards.
Japan lost and slept on a sofa bed! Haha it was my first .__.

Yep, been busy since meeting friends for lunches and dinners, going on shopping trips with them. Teaching too. Fifa got me a mirror and chopsticks from Beijing, how sweet (: Had pizzas today with Raqeeb and had Breeks yesterday with Andrea. I'm ice-skating this Friday with Amira and Fifa, lunch with Rohenie on Thursday and maybe go Changi tomorrow to try out...

MY NEW LENS.

Prime lens 35mm/f1.8 coming cheap at 345$ first hand, Nikkor. How I screamed in delight. Watched Up with Kyun at my place over Long John's (with unlimited supply of cheese), it's a fantastic show. Pixar NEVER disappoint. In the first 10 minutes I nearly cried .__. And by the end I was tearing into her shirt. So embarrassing.


Attaching adaptor to my Holga and I can shoot 36mm films on it! Time to revive film!

I did say I went touristing on Thursday.

We caught Toy Story 3 snuggled under a blanket in the theatre. Awesome or what. Carried a backpack with buckles and sunglasses and bandanna and a shop owner thought I was Thai, but I said that I was from Indonesia! Had a lot of photos and fun, headed back to my place til late.

Giant-shopping the next day with Kyun Osha Yt. Bought quite a number of tidbits.


Had a photography voluntary assignment again, this time was for a futsal competition. Good exposure to sports photography, some lessons learnt (:
Thanks Nurul and the El Toreno team!
Cycled to and fro there to save transport cost, and headed to Bagus on bike for lunch with Cj.

And now heading off to the airport for the longest slide thing and probably catching the sunset! The skies now are amazingly beautiful.

T___T Weather is so unpredictable lately. Let's just hope Tioman won't be rainy. Read that there's a chance it'll rain, but mainly slightly cloudy and such.

Good days.

I had the utmost fun cycling in the rain with them, trying to fight the wind and 2 pathetic umbrellas sprung out to shelter 6 people. Ayam penyet at Changi is always so awesome, and we had long fun talks trying to revive the once dead!

Yesterday I webcammed with the Dr and she has a 'secret stash'.

Gave a call here and there to random missing people and was fun to catch up (:

I also saw Kyun today when she came over with her oh-so-cool hair ^^

I learnt a few new songs and tabbed one myself! So proud of me.



Sleep early! Tourist-ing tomorrow (:

Rain. It's strange to be rainy in June. Not THIS rainy. The weather has definitely been screwed up.

I'm going to play in the rain today.

I feel good, in a way. Done with my IBM and Advanced Stats (sweated a bit for the latter) and few more to go before I proudly announced myself graduate (more like survivor) of the murderous LSE program which sucks the life out of many sad beings who dropped out of course halfway.

I guess I am happy with that. That I did something that I truly enjoy, that I didn't pick some shit degree that I dislike (ie. Literature, Linguistics the kind a straight D can get in) from the local university just so to have the right to say OH I'M STUDYING AT A LOCAL UNIVERSITY or to the dumping grounds of A level washouts.

(: I've decided if my grades are good enough - hopefully it is but if it isn't I'm entirely to blame - I want to go MOM to work, there's quite a few vacancies. Hopefully to earn more than enough money to support myself and my lifestyle.

Few more to clear on the 1st and 3rd and 9th and 10th of June.

I said, with a face as sad as an emo kid, that I am fat and that my tummy is showing a bit.

Teeny weeny bit.


You kissed my going-to-be-obvious-tummy-if-I-don't-do-anything-about-it that I am the most beautiful person in the world.
