Jakarta 14-16 Jan 2011

On the way home, I stopped for the old school ice cream from the motorbike seller. Bread with peppermint ice cream flavor. Was feeling a little down after talking to 1 of my traders. Think his depression spread to me or something. :( But the ice cream did help~! :) Another office party tomorrow but guess I'm gonna give it a miss this time since most of the guys on my team aren't gonna be there.

Anyway, I had a great weekend in Jakarta visiting Mahesh, Krupa and baby Dev!! Dev is soooo adorable with huge eyes, super long eyelashes and a smile that melted my heart! He doesn't cry much and he's not even afraid of strangers! Love carrying him around and he was the only reason why I dragged myself out of bed every morning in Jakarta! Right after I finish washing up, I'll run out to carry him and play with him! :p Still waiting for Mahesh to send me the group photos that we took together. ^.^


Had dinner with Rick who came from HK on Mon nite. Went for Korean food and we drank Korean Shoju, Korean beer and lychee martini. Yes, it's only Mon nite! Went a little crazy mixing the drinks but oh well, drinking is fun! :D

Last nite was a mini belated bday dinner for my trader Kelvin and I cum a farewell dinner for Kelvin who has been transferred to NY. I'm gonna miss him a lot coz he's the only other Singaporean other than me in this department. Once he goes to NY, I'll be the only one there and he's a great mentor too! :( Sooo gonna miss him!! We had dinner with KW and we kept teasing n disturbing KW to treat. He really did! Omg!

And not only did KW treat us, he brought us to Hachi which is not a cheap restaurant to begin with. Food there was good and the sake was nice too (I'm not a fan of sake). Think the meal cost at least $700 and honestly, I barely know this guy!!! Kelvin and I offered to pay him back but he refused! Now I feel really terrible for teasing him to give Kelvin and I a bday treat. :X

Tomorrow is the day whereby our bonus, increment and promotion is determined and given out. I'm keeping my fingers crossed tightly. It's the day of the truth on whether I made the right decision to move here - Not that I'm gonna regret my decision coz I was not happy at the previous department to begin with. But more like, I'll get to see if it is really as rosy here as everyone tells me. Will update on that again once I know more about things.

To end off this post, here's a picture of my very dried up bday roses. :)

Rumour

Went to a club at Clarke Quay last nite called Rumour with the regulars from Instinct. The club is kinda like Dragonfly but the music is not as good, the live band and singers were also not that good. The lead singer who is supposedly the most handsome has got a whiney voice when he sings. Shudders.. Think I still prefer DF anytime, any day. Reached home at 6 and slept at 6.30am.. Tiring.. I have been pubbing and clubbing 6 nites in a row.. Think I need to cut down and relax a bit. But, drinking is a form of relaxation coz I get to talk to friends and enjoy. :p Had a chat with Mingjie (another regular at Instinct) last nite. He truly impressed me by wooing the same girl for 7 years! He knew her 10 years ago, got together for 3 years, broke up and tried wooing her back for 7 years. It's truly fascinating. I'm amazed and at the same time, envious. No guy have ever wooed me for so long.. All just want me to be their gf within days or weeks. Any longer, they give up or pressure me ...

disappointed n jer's departure...

been a little disappointed with friends.. the term 'friends'.. what does it actually mean? someone u can talk to, someone who will be there for u? how many people can do that for a long time? i'm not very sure but i used to try n keep it contact with close friends in the past. i did all i could to stay in touch n find out what's going on in their lives so that our friendship can stay strong. however, that wasn't the case. 1 fine day, i finally decided to stop taking the initiative to remain in contact with them n the result was, they didn't bother either. what happened to the friendship between us? i'm not sure. but it takes 2 hands to clap n i don't understand y i always have to be the one who makes it happen. i've lost many friends coz of that. upset.. of coz i was. i've always treasured friendships but i don't see the point of hanging on if the friendship is so 1-sided. disappointed.. i've always believed that to be friends, we have to...
