If It's Not Bad, It's Worse!

The Weather!

I mean, oh my goodness, how could you adapt to the hardly-friendly-region called Malacca waters (Batam island, Singapore, and the surrounding)?

You know what, this morning was just shiny like there would be summer this whole mid-year. It's 7.30 in the morning when I was about to go to work and I had no worry about the(sudden)rain. I knew that my jeans would be just dried by the time I went back from work and I was pretty sure they (the jeans) were fine during the dry-in-the-sun time. But now I realize that the worry should be there like all the time.

I was having emails and queries to reply when one in a room suddenly said "Oh, it's rainy hard out there!" Then I looked out the window and I was like "What?! My jeans! My jeans! My jeans!". But all I could do was just looking back at the beloved-always-rushing monitor (as I had to) and "Okay, I love my job! I love my job! Gotta love my job though I love my jeans even more!"

I mean, you gotta be ready for the WORST thing can be when you're living in Malacca waters like Batam or Singapore. The weather is no compromise at all. Can you figure out how to deal with the temperature from 34 degrees (95F) over the day to drop to 25 degrees (77F) over the night? Not to mention the crazy speedy wind and storms to come anytime they want. Seriously! I mean, I often saw the hurricane news in television and it looked creepy and now I'm like having it all, all the days. Moreover, the rain whatsoever spread out like hell. I mean, when it's so hard rainy whatsoever in one part of the island, the other parts (even if it's 2 miles away) are just fine! 

I have no idea whether it's due to the over-blown-up global warming or it's just supposed to be that way as daily-tiny-stranded-islands's-weather. Overall, you need more than just

weather channel on if you are dumped off in the area like Malacca waters. If it's not bad, it's worse!

PS: I'm worrying my jeans!

Who Is Your Truly Mr. Right?

Heart beats faster, your world turns brighter, and you're getting hard (sometimes). That's when you start falling in love with someone (you believe) you can share your world with. The thing is, IS IT?

Well,

We ever fell in love, if not, often. Just like I did.

Every time I fall in love with someone I believe the person is just the best for me. I'm drowning into the deep love fantasy, hypnotized by the beauty of romance's colors, and paralyzed by the spell of misleading whispers of desire.

Love is when we're falling in love, most of us believe it is.

However, love is, also, when we're breaking up.

It pleases, and it hurts, in the end. That 's love.

In every relationship we make, we believe that he is the right man, she is meant to be with us like till the end of time. All of us are trying to make our own stories, and we lead it into the happy ending one. Sadly, sometimes, the fact doesn't say so. We have to fight for it like it is the only option and we make ourselves work so much harder on it. When it comes to an end, we're flipping upside down like on a roller-coaster, whining, crying, blaming, anything. This is the hardest part we're up against but we have to. We deny the truth, we get depressed, we get mad, then we finally see.

Is she the right person? Is he my Mr. Right? As ain't nothing's going right then sometimes.

So, love's rolling and the ending is flipping like hell with or without anybody's intention.

  

What should we do then?

Maybe some of us keep on looking for the one and only Mr. Right, deploy all the maneuvers to fight for it or, maybe, we just roll the dice instead. The latter is just the right way to do, personally, I believe. Since, there's something out of our control. It doesn't mean that I'll give upon love I should fight for. No, it doesn't. I just wanna say that I don't wanna let myself get blinded and hard to move on merely due to the faith we've made and to-self-enforcement. Just be real. That's the deal.

So, who is your Mr. Right? Do we need him actually?

:)

.....is finally BACK!!!!!

After like-a-thousand-years of waiting....

I can finally write again, fill this lovely forgotten-for-a-while blog with words, super words for us all to read.

Well, first thing first..

I'm no longer in Java, the most populous crazy island on this planet. Instead, I'm in Batam Island. A small LESS attractive island near MUCH more attractive tiny island of Singapore (You know what, it's only 15 miles away from Batam!) So, what am I gonna tell you actually? Let's just push the play button!

Batam is a tiny island located in Malacca waters, just 15 miles  North-Eastern-ward away of Singapore and South-Eastern-ward of Malaysia's Johor. It's a central business region of Indonesia's Riau Islands Province as it is set to counterpart its neighboring super busy Singapore.

What Am I doing here then?

Simple, I'm working! LOL

It's not really bad lah to work here even though it's a little, if not more, different. I'm working in the hospitality industry. yeah, I'm drowning in the hospitality industry and it's my very first time to get involved in this kind of thing.

I got a little bit .....er.......confused how to deal with this job. However, as the time goes by, I got used to it. Moreover, I enjoy this job.

Now skip the job thing and move to Batam things instead :)

What are there in Batam?

Many things!

When my feet stepped out of the airport corridor, what I felt was just.....HOT! HOT AS HELL!!! I mean, can you figure out how to deal with AT LEAST 33 degrees everyday? I need rain!

What I like most here is the food. SOME of the food. I mean, the Sumatra's cuisine and Chinese cuisine influence MUCH and sadly I do not really like Sumatra's cuisine as it is LOTS of coconut milk! No way lah for me to eat. Hehe.. But I love NASI GORENG SEAFOOD a la Batam! It ROCKS!!!!!!! You know lah nasi goreng, don't you? But, what makes it different with the ordinary nasi goreng is the seafood itself! The size of the ring-shape cut cuttlefish, the shrimp, and the "collision" between Nasi Goreng Jawa and Chinese's twist makes it look and taste like a leisure with pleasure. And...it's not over yet, as Durian Juice is waiting for you to close the muchy-time! You know what, It's only IDR15,000.00 for Nasi Goreng seafood and ONLY IDR10,000.00 for the juice!!!!!!! You don't even need a calculator to sum it up!

However, It's quite hard to find carrot juice here as it's sooo expensive! I mean, the carrot! My friend here told me that she once bought 3 carrots and it cost IDR12,000.00! And I once bought carrot juice here which was IDR8,000.00 and it was more like water than the carrot juice instead. It's disappointing lah.

There're so many things to share here about Batam, but now now lah. Later! :)
