in the moment

11.42pm

day 5. friday is almost looming. another week going by. how fast time seem to fly by and by the time you know it, its xmas!! den new year! den chinese new  year! oh boy. do you think the world will end on 21 dec 2012? i hope the mayan predictions doesnt come true!

im currently packing up my crap and putting most of it into personal storage. i do dislike moving from place to place, or should i say condo to condo. its not like as if im moving to another country, coz honestly that would be awesome. i love experiencing the different cultures, different seasons(if any and depends where im heading to), way of life, food etc in each country that i visit or live in. so far i've only lived in jakarta, indonesia and singapore where i currently reside. 2 totally different countries/cities.

so ever heard a bomb go off ? yes, i have once, when i was still living in jakarta. trust me you do not want to hear it. its like a big BOOM going off, luckily in a distance from where i was living. the sliding doors of my balcony started to rattle for a few seconds after the bomb went off. at first i thought i was imagining it and then i got goosebumps. my next thought was - "oh oh...i think a bomb just went off not to far away". true enough, a few minutes later, my husband rang me up and asked if i was ok and naturally i said i was and then i asked him if a bomb had gone off. he's reply was yes. long story short that was an unexpected experience. ho hum.

and couple of years later, we moved to singapore. totally different environment. everything is super efficient and clean and more or less organized. i guess it does have its pros and cons. i've noticed that space is an issue. roads are narrower, viewed lots of properties but i must say some of them really blew me away(in a not so good way). i think that these developers just build for the sake of building. whats with the bay windows and planters? hello!! people need and want more living space not places to put plants or these so called bay windows! sheesh man. as it is the unit is already so small like say 500 sqft, and these clowns go and add in all the unnecessary. geez.

food wise, well you have alot of options to chose from. spoilt for choices really. but its repetitive especially after you've been to a few  of these food courts. and then u get "jelak". ( jelak means satiated by a food, particularly a food that is too rich, to the point that one feels repulsed by it) . one of these days i will start blogging abt the food i've tasted and i'll give my 2 cents worth. but for now, i'll just hang on to talking about a load of crap before moving onwards, ok?

alritey den.
