Hey, back with me. Now's almost May & i'm gonna leave
my jap tuition in Indo for good within a month.
Hiks, kind of sad thinking abt that. I've been havin
a great time there, well, other than gettin tortured
by the Sensei. Haha, hope i'll be able to keep in contact
with all of 'em even afte i'm back to Sg.
The thought of goin to TP alone is kind of scared.
U know, like putting myself out from my comfort zone.
I dun think that there's anyone i know (besides Yu Feng,
but i dun even know whether he got into the course, but
with his grades, i think he'll be accepted..) getting into
my course, or even my school. Those ppl who are kind of
close to me are somewhere far, far away in Indo, US or
Canada,others went to JCs and some choose different
courses for diff polys.
Well, i think i'm kind of sissy thinking abt this
stuffs but i know how it feels when you are completely
unable to click with the whole cls & hav to learn to
shut my mouth the whole day during lessons or even
breaks. It's like, pointless & meaningless.
Maybe i'm too naive, or maybe i'm being disgusting,
call me anything u like.
I'm not like what i look like. There are parts of me which will
scare ppl away & i know it had successfully scared some
away. Is there any cure for this??

Yesterday, I was stuck at the traffic jam for 4 hours!!! My goodness,
what kind of a joke is this. It was raining cats & dogs (wow, long time never use my
vocabulary. Haha, Mrs. Tay, pls be proud of ma. Khi khi khi khi...)
& lots of places around Jkt was flooded. u know, ppl just threw their rubbish anywhere,
everywhere & everytime. I heard that the jam was all over Jkt & it lasted until abt 2 a.m.
Well, my dad said,"Luckily,we're home @ 10.30," whereby I'm shouting like hell,
"My goodness, 10.30 & i'm freezing to death in the car..!!!!"Well, that goes it.

I'd like to share some interesting things i'd heard in the Oprah Winfrey Show this morning.
I think the whole episode was taken during the Jan 2004. Well, the guest speaker was
David Bach (Who the hell is he? I dunno too), some author for "Automatic Millionaire" book.
He said that in order to hav lots of cash by the end of the day, we hav to pay ourselves 1st.
*)Which means, from every pay that u hav received (or in our case, allowance etc), set aside
10% of it, (U know, apart from ur monthly *persepuluhan*) & invest them in your retirement
account. (I think he means separate xtra bank acc, u know, the one whereby u set aside
money, so u won't get bankrupt aft emptying the otherl bak acc.)
*)Admit taht u hav to save money & honouring the truth of ur life * ur financial condition.
*)Reduce the usage of credit cards, or if can, stop using credit cards, cos if u're the type
who can never save money, u'll get into credit card debts.
*)Calculate ur monthly spending & analyse which are the things that's unnecesarrily spent.
Ask urself,"Why r u spending these money on it?"
*)The next month, try to reduce 1/2 of ur unnecesarry spendings & save them in ur xtra acc.
For the next few years, 10 or more, I guess, if u're constant doing it. u'll be able to have
$1000+++, I hope.

Cool, man. I was thinking, IF I could save up to that much, I'll be flying over to the moon &
back. Haha. Well, my dad wants me to take up part time job during sch time & he insisted
that i'll do tuitioning. Hiks.Which means I hav to sacrifice my leasure time just to tuiton some
kids. I'm kinda scared if the results' happened to be on the opposite way. Will I get chopped
up by the kids' parent? Hiks... Haha. So, if any of u hav lil siblings on their pri sch year &
needs some tuitioning on maths or sec sch for maths, I'll be happy to do it (the pay, of coz..!).
I scored A1 for E maths & A2 for A maths leh.
Oh ya, preferably Indonesian, cos I'm kinda hard to xplain some of the thing in EL or CH.
Not to mention Jap. Hahhaha.

Just for laugh:
My *"Demos' Bride" vol 16 was lost cos some jokers borrowed it & told me that it fell to the toilet bowl while he was doin 'his business'.I can't find the new one around. Hahahha, no offence, man. I forgive u. I dunno, this thing had been disturbing my mind since yesterday & if i dun write em down, i guess i'll hav to laugh the whole day like some lunatic lamer.

Haha, 2 days ago, i went crazee & bought 5 titles of manga.Ja know, I believe that books (or things to do with entertainment) can heal one's soul. All those manga really made me jumpin all round the house..
Most of 'em are love-themed manga, but aniwae, who cares, they made me feel like jumpin, the feelin's just like when i'm falling in love. U know, happy, happpyyyy & happpyyyyyyyyy... Hahahha, kind of your heart is filled with those flowery pottery feelin <-literally translated from indo Language: hati berbunga2. hahaha.
Those who are close to me knows what I'm talkin abt. hahaha. I'm a manga freaaaaaaak.

The mangas are: COZ I LOVE YOU (Clamp); BLUE DAILY (Local mangaka), BABY LOVE (Ayumi Shiina); STONE COLD (forget who) <-It's not da ever-lamer stone Cold from WWF okay!; HARMONY (Kyoko Hikawa).
HARMONY's kind of lame but romantic in its way, actually I ever had it, but it's ost!! hahaha.
STONE COLD's kind of weird story, abt a female laywer who's kind of 'icy-cold' cos she never smiled. haha, lame rite?!
But the story's kind of warming, which is similar for BLUE DAILY. Although it's made by local mangaka, it has good storyline, great drawings etc. U know, local mangaka sometimes made lame stories with lame drawings.
BABY LOVE is a very, very sweet manga series. It's like the gurl fell in love with the guy when she was just 10 or younger (i can't remember). Then, in order to be compatible with the guy, in 4 yers, she drank lotsa milk & grew taller by 50cm. haha, kind of lame but exciting, interesting & catchy story. Unique in a kind of way. recommendable for young readers (haha) & those who would like to read books with 'light' storyline.
The last one, COZ I LOVE YOU by CLAMP. When u saw the drawings, u'll think that something's wrong with the publication, cos they doesn't look like CLAMP. Very heart warming & light story too. Abt a lonely but cheerful gurl' s relationship with her neighbour-form teacher-crush mysterious 32-years-old guy. Hahaha.
Well, actually they're kind of making me jealous, cos the gurl will always get the guy, with all sort of happy endings & heart warming destiny.
Haha, but aniwae, 'with braces, no guys', that's my policy & i'll try to keep that until i take off my braces. Hahaha. So, surrendering myself completely to God
& let Him use me fully. hahaha, cos if not, I'll be die rotting by boredom. Brain dead. Hahahaha. Ciao folks.

hey hey hey, i'm back in Indo now. Hahaa, been enjoying myself there, walk alot... ut hack, the weather's damn hot, hot hot!!! I nosebled for days, hiks... Well, I bought an English version of Darkside Blues by Yuuho sensei @ Kinokuniya, read it & conclude that the manga is exactly as what the anime shows. Hahaa.. Feel happy abt this...Cos my mission is to buy all the titles by yuuho sensei, u can call me crazy but it's true. Bought Tsubasa Chronicle Reservoir by Clamp (vol 2-4), hahahhaa... Th story rocks ya!! Aniwae, watched The passion Of The Christ on DVD. Whatever they might say,
all I can tell u is COOL!! The whole story showed Jesus' patience & love for the world. Which is kinda good for us to watch, to see what kind of treatments Jesus's receivein for our salvation. Seriously, we should be thankful!!!! Oh ya, be prepared by havin boxes of tissues if u would like to watch it. That's it for today, folks. Ciao.

To those ppl who wanted to travel to Indo independently (that is, without anyone fetching you around in private vehicles)
or Indonesian who likes to go somewhere round any places in Indo alone, pls be reminded that Indo is NOT a safe place for you to do so!!!!!!!
Something unfortunate had happened to my cousins. One of them recently had been kidnapped & was robbed of more than Rp.10 million (or approx around S$2000) from his account. It happened around 31th of March & i'm tellin u this is NOT a joke (u can asked any of my maternal relatives for sure, Albert, Andrian, Aswin, Domi6901, Mellisa, Tiara, Samantha or Isabelle in my friendster).
Well, he was hanging out in Taman Anggrek Mall all by himself, with the chauffeur dropping him off at TA, so he was altogether alone at that time. Maybe he looked blur or looked like someone who came from a rich background, a stranger, (who looked decent, says my cuz) approached him & asked whether he was the one assaulting one of the stranger's friend's gurlfriend. (My cuz was wearing a soccer jersey & the stranger said that the assault was done by 4 guys wearing soccer jersey)
His explanation feel on deaf ears & the guy asked him to meet his friend & the gurl to confirmise that he wasn't the one so he followed the guy. The stranger led him OUTSIDE TA (which was not advisable, cos once u're out of the mall, the road is full of petty criminals, ranging from just a pickpocket into some form of triad members, preying on ur ATM cards, credit cards & stuffs more valuable) and brought him further to Tomang road & at last they reached somewhere near Tomang Tamani Cafe.
The man they met said that although he wasn't the one assaulting his gurlfriend, my cuz had to follow him to meet their "big boss". They hailed taxi & travelled far to a coffeeshop (warung). With constant brainwashing from these two men in the taxi (they repeatedly told him not to answer any call as their big boss was a cruel & intolerant guy, who would not hesitate to whack someone's head, broke someone's bones if he dun like the latter).
Aniwae, the big boss appeared to be a native Indonesian, we were not really sure of his ethnic, with big, bulky body, a typical of Indonesian hooligans (preman). My cuz was threatened, although in a friendly kind of talking, into writing his particular in one notebook & because of the fear, he wrote down his ATM PIN at their command, which was then erased
cos one of them pretended to be a 'good guy' be scolding him not be so stupid to reveal his PIN number. (aniwae, this is
a new trick performed by these hooligans. They were trying to gain your trust but at the same time instill some fear in
your mind that your safety is in their hands so better be cooperative than be regretful in the future, u know, they could kill or harm ppl if they wanted to)(it must have been one of them memorising his PIN number before it got erased by my cuz) Aniwae, these kidnappers told my cuz that he, again, need to see their 'bigger boss', someone with the name of "pak bambang" at SMU06.
They hailed another taxi with the big baddie sitting at the front & my cuz at the back, in between the other two. Along the trip, my cuz accidentally heard the big baddie whispered to the taxi driver to, instead of goin to SMU06, they should go to BLok M (a place in Jakarta whereby ppl of lower income hang out, u know, kinda of high criminality there). One of the kidnappers persuade my cuz into showing his wallet & he went on examining the wallet (a fake Luis Vutton) & asking the usage of everything inside of the wallet, u know, like, ATM cards, any discount cards, etc. Then, the guy accidentaly-on-purpose dropped some coins on the taxi floor so that my cuz will bowed down to collect his coins while the guy took out his ATM card from the wallet. He then, returned the wallet & my cuz did not check the content of his wallet again cos he's kind of feelin scared.
They went to another 'warung' & while the big baddie's havin his meal, my cuz was left alone with him. Unknown to him, the other two had gone to the ATM machine to try their luck, withdrawing abt S$700. I could not imagine if he had written
fake PIN number, he wouldn't be reaching home in a presentable state, or should we say his chance of going home is small.
After successfully withdrawing money, the 4 of them left in a taxi & they dropped my cuz in the roadside, tellin' him to
surrender his HP & said, "If my (gank)members came to beat u up, tell 'em to call ur HP which is with me. I'll be rite back"
& left. He waited for abt 20 minutes then walked to find any taxi & by chance saw a petrol station which revealed to him that the place he was at was LEBAK BULUS (a famous place in JKT whereby ppl say that there's a group of cold blooded gangsters, who preyed on ur ATM content). Fortunately, he found a taxi which brought him home. Unfortunately, the taxi driver accidentaly-on purpose off his meter fare & told him to pay triple the price he had to pay. U may wonder why I keep on repeating the phrase "accidentally-on-purpose", well, in Indo, everything the do to cheat ur money was based on that.
So, that was the lifetime-experience of my cuz, losing his nokia phone,his ATM card with S$2000+++ & being kidnapped for nearly 6 hours.
Another one was my other cuz's tuition teacher (female), who hailed a taxi from MEGA MALL (MM). It took her to a rather
deserted road whereby from the baggage, 2 men suddenly jumped out & covered her head with some cloth bags. They brought her into a house, kicked & punched & forced her to reveal her ATM PIN & robbed kinda lots of money
(i didn't know exactly the sum). She was asked whether she's a chinese but she denied as
she had a rather tanned complexion. She was at last released aft the withdrawal had been done. Aniwae, a thing to note, is that she was released at LEBAK BULUS area. That is why we said that gurls shouldn't be let to travel alone.
Now u know how dangerous INDO can be. Please be accompanied if travelling to Indo. It is best if u could guarranteed
that u hav someone to fetch you from the airport & kindly provide u private transport if u would likely to move around
in Indo. Do not appear rich or foreign becos they would see this as an advantage. Moreover, you dun know who to trust
in the new land so pls.... DO NOT RISK URSELF!!!

In sg now, Hahahahhahahahhaha.anione missed me yet'? Haahahaha...
