I don't have many things to say this week except that I've re-learned few things. I use the word 're-learn' as these are the things that I knew already, it's just that it sometimes takes something to happen in order for us to finally say, "Ah, so this is xx..."
One - Success can only be achieved when you pour all your focus and time to it, and how much you can focus and/or are willing to spend on it relies on how much you WANT it to happen.
Two - Life is short, and it can end when you least expect it - plus, do NOT depend too much on anyone, each of us is strong and capable in taking care of ourselves.
*This is coming after I heard the news that one of my uncles died earlier this week, and how his surviving wife wailed and wailed about 'following' him, sigh...
Three - Do NOT think too much of anything. If you can't figure out something after spending a lot of time thinking and thinking about it, whatever it is, it may not be worth figuring out anyway.
*I spent two freaking days thinking about how to sew one tricky wristlet before I finally realized I wasted too much time on it when I could just think about something else instead.
Four - This last thing is another reminder for me to start EATING RIGHT! I haven't lost my holiday weight (from my Japan trip) and it's been 3 months!! *cries*
The lunch at my ex-flatmates' house this afternoon didn't help either - the food was just irresistible...
Five - Stop thinking and start doing!

Weekly Recap: Week 38 (22 - 28 Sep 2014)
Another busy week!
I've been having hard time to focus. At work most of the time I'm sleepy and unmotivated. I have been having question, what do I want out of my life? what is the purpose of my life? why do I feel so aimless? why do others seem to know what they are doing while I am at lost?
Sigh...
I'm having early midlife crisis (again) I suppose.
Anyway, I just hope this phase soon passes and I finally find my purpose of life, though I'm positively pessimistic about it....
About this week, hmm... my friend (who is also the husband of my friend) got his appendicitis removed and his wife (who is also my colleague) had to spend 2 days with him in hospital and I was left to take care of her tasks. Then, my friend W asked me to join her to a seminar about MLM. I am always skeptical about MLM, but I have to admit it does have an interesting concept. W ended up joining it, and I did not.

Weekly Recap: Week 37 (15 - 21 Sep 2014)
Another busy week, and this time I didn't manage to follow almost half of the pre-scheduled task list. Sigh...
I skipped two piano practice sessions, as well as reviewing my Japanese Hiragana. But there's always a silver lining. I saw a question posted in Quora that somehow related to the situation I am in now. I will not dwell on the detail of it - what I can share is that the amount of effort we are willing to do is equivalent to how much we want it. When we procrastinate, or put things off, it only means that deep deep down, we don't really want it after all.
Seems simple, doesn't it?
Office life has been fun as usual. Although almost all of the team members had to work late on Thursday evening due to the planned go-live on Monday (today). I left office at around 11PM since I was too tired and hungry already while few others stayed until 3AM. Crazy huh?
On a more fun topic, my friend, SocialBee got me a free ticket to F1 Brunch Party at Marina Bay Sands and as the name suggested, it was held in the afternoon 1PM til 7PM, and yes it WAS a party, which means, dark dimmed room, with flashy lighting, and noisy music.
I wanted to go since I was expecting good music, but it didn't turn out as expected - as rarely it does... But then I had a great catch up time with SocialBee, so it was not for naught.
Oh, I'd like to start a new sub-topic here - Office Doodle!
There is this white board near my work area, and for the past few months, me and office mates often doodle on it on various theme. Usually it is me who draws the most on it, and now we are on our third blank white board, so I thought I should document it. And here goes the first Office Doodle:
This doodle is inspired by the Indonesian phrases we were teaching our fellow Filipino office mate, and the drawing of the guy is the cartoon-ish version of him.
The closest English translation would be: "What are you looking at?! Coz I'm handsome?!"
These phrases are usually used in joke-y manner among Indonesians, so no hard feelings there!

Weekly Recap: Week 36 (8 - 14 Sep 2014)
Another week has passed.
We soon reach September.. Then come October.. November.. And then.. December.. Time really flies, doesn't it?
Whew.. No time to be melancholic about it, every second counts!
This week I've been busy as usual. Managed to follow through most of the scheduled tasks, except for this morning's Hot Yoga class though. I wasn't able to get a good night sleep last night so I felt terribly cranky and tired, and I just couldn't get myself up on time.
*probably it also has something to do with the fact that I don't really like the teacher, but that's another story for another day*
I've also (re)started my lettuce-as-rice-substitute diet last Monday after months off of it and I gotta say I feel better by the end of the week. I definitely feel less guilty, less bloated and lighter. Although my colleagues did tease me a little about it but I also felt a little satisfaction when few of them then opted salad for lunch. Hee~
I tried Intro to Ashtanga class this week and I loved it! By the end of the class I was exhausted and the next day my arms were sore
but it was a good kind of sore, you know what I mean?
Pilates class was also great. I think I'm getting stronger as well and I have another class on Monday that I really look forward to.
Anyway, I've finished another project this week and it will be up on my Etsy shop later today (once I take some product photos). So wait for it, guys ! :)

Weekly Recap: Week 35 (1 - 7 Sep 2014)
What a week!
I think I may be able to say that last week I was somewhat productive to the extend that I wanted to push myself to be.
I purposely spent a little time on Monday to seriously set one-week schedule, including my yoga classes and after office hour activities. And I'm somewhat proud to say that I managed to follow through it - though not 100% yet.
Nevertheless I couldn't say that my week was great either, I got a call from Harvey Norman telling me that there is a delay in the ThinkPad Yoga shipment for probably 4 weeks and they asked me to come to their store to arrange how to proceed with this new information. And this news was really upsetting. They sold me a product that doesn't match what's stated in the brochure which then I had to make a trip to their store to return it with them promising that the new shipment (in 1-2 weeks) would match the specification in the brochure, and then now I had to make another trip to their store to settle this matter.
I was officially pissed.
I quickly did my research and set my eyes on Microsoft Surface Pro 3, and after a quick calculation, I would have to top up almost 200 dollars. Of course I am not going to pay more money after that much of inconvenience they have caused. I was totally calm when I told the Harvey Norman guy that no, I refused to pay more than I already had. I did not smile at all and I look him straight in the eye that I wanted Microsoft Surface Pro 3 with its keyboard and I would not top-up anything for it. The guy said that he could only give me 40% discount for the keyboard and they are losing money already, but you know what, I told him no, this problem is caused by you, why would I pay more money for some mistake that you people did.
At last, my persistence was not for nothing, the guy went to see his manager and then when he came back he said alright, I would not need to top up, and they even are going to do delivery right to my doorstep. Although I appreciate their intention, but I would not hold my breath. I just take it as it is now and we shall see how it will turn out in the end, shall we?
On a brighter and a more fun note, after weeks, I finally managed to have a quick catch up with my gals - Social Bee and Sweety Cat! Although I'm now a little worried about Sweety Cat's office life - there is one lady in her office that seems to be picking on her in a very childish and so mean-girl way that in my opinion only works during high school years. Anyway, seeing how that lady is not smart enough to be bitchy in a grown up way, I think Sweety Cat would be fine as long as she can slap on a smile and be smarter in responding her childish bitchiness.
As for this week, again I've set up the schedule for the whole week and I'm planning to follow them through.
Wish me luck!
PS: I start to bring lunch from home again, I also hope this will last long, for my health sake :)

Weekly Recap: Week 33-34 (18 - 31 Aug 2014)
Last week I skipped the weekly recap since I couldn't recall much of that week other than spending too much time at the office and wasting away my weekend on my bed from exhaustion. Sigh...
This week is more interesting for sure...
Same as last week, I was still busy at work, but still, I decided that I don't want to sacrifice my yoga time and so I made sure that I'd leave office by latest 630 PM to catch 7 or 730 PM class.
Apart from that, there is Comex 2014 this week! The event I've been waiting for since I've planned to upgrade my crappy HP laptop to a sleek and powerful ultrabook. However, til Thursday afternoon, I still couldn't make up my mind on which laptop I should buy. At first, I set my mind to get a Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro, but then after an extensive research, I found out that there is color gamut problem with it, in which the yellow color is not actually yellow on its screen. That settled it then, no way I'm getting it as I need color accuracy for my drawings.
Then my interest moved to Asus UX301LA, but then the price kinda turned me off. And although I was sooo tempted to get it anyway, after talking to one of my close friends - whose opinion I know is always honest and always go for honesty over saying things that the other party wants to hear though it may not be true - he said it, the laptop is just to ridiculously overpriced at 2,798 SGD.
By Thursday evening, I still hadn't had any decision. I spent my time at the studio waiting for my yoga class by browsing Comex 2014 brochures. And then, lo and behold, my eyes were drawn to a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga! I couldn't believe that I had missed that brochure!
In my opinion, ThinkPad series is built with more business and quality in mind compared to IdeaPad. And after reading numerous reviews on ThinkPad, I said to myself, this is it, this is my new laptop. Me, who fell in love in the first sight at what IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro can do, have now found its better peer. Although I have to admit that Yoga 2 Pro is definitely more attractive in appearance, I expect that ThinkPad has more build quality.
Anyway, I did go to Comex to get a ThinkPad Yoga, and I also got a deal for it. But the problem is, once I was home and checked the system, I noticed that the RAM is not as advertised in the brochure - I got 4 GB instead of 8 GB. I was dressed and ready to go until I then thought I better call them first. So I did, and they told me that I got the wrong model - this laptop I'm currently using is the older model. The new model - as advertised in the brochure - is only coming mid of September, and after few going back and forth, the guy finally said I could get the newer model at the same price (I paid 2.2k SGD instead of 2,399 SGD in the brochure), I would only need to return this laptop and wait for the shipment of new model in September.
I asked what's the difference between these 2 model, and he told me the newer one comes with 8 GB RAM and also better processor. And the IT person inside me just couldn't let this offer slip away. Two weeks is nothing if I can get a better spec!
Geeky story aside, there was an unpleasant shock on Friday during lunch with my colleagues at the nearby food court. Suddenly there was a cockroach flew in and landed on our table -_-
One of my colleagues managed to get rid of him, but the shock was still there and I kinda lost my appetite - and I wasn't the only one since the guy who I know would not ever not finish his meal stopped eating after few bites. Now I'm not sure I could eat at that food court again without thinking about that incident...
Luckily my Friday ended on high note. There was a company drink after work and we spent few hours drinking and eating on company's tab - which is of course always good!
Good: bought a new laptop, won in TypeRacer few times (fun times with colleagues), company drink, piano/keyboard practice
Bad: cockroach incident, a little hassle over the new laptop purchase, patience test at work - communication, communication, communication people!!
This week is more interesting for sure...

Weekly Recap: Week 32 (11 - 17 Aug 2014)

Anyway, let us all hope for the best future for Indonesia. Although I have been a skeptic for I don't know how long, I really have a high expectation to our new elected President, Joko Widodo. If we can call what Indonesia has been having 'a disease' - the corruption, poverty, oil mafia, etc -, it has been a very long uncured 'disease', and it will be a long and tough road for the new President. Even now the attempt to block Jokowi's path to Presidency is still on going with his rival presidency candidate is challenging the Election Commission (known as KPU) at the Constitutional Court in regards of failed election due to systematic, massive and structured fraud happening across 33 provinces of Indonesia. The court decision is to be announced end of this coming week.
The news I've read about the witnesses testimonies from the has been very 'interesting', and please note I am being kind. I couldn't help laughing either cynically or exasperatedly every time a witness just fumbled or finally admitted that their recant of the so-called 'incidents' was from second or even third hand. The proof is not sufficient and the suit is weak from my point of view of a common citizen, and the on-going trials are more like a bad comedy or soap opera. What's baffling me the most is how the plaintiff side seems to be in totally strong denial mode, that they are blind to see how ridiculous they are!
All in all, I just hope there won't be any riot ensued. The life of Indonesian people need not anymore drama caused by political interests of some selfish and greedy elites.
Now, let's go back to the weekly recap.
Strangely, what I can remember about my week is how tired I felt after work.
I missed 2 yoga sessions, one due to over-time and the other one to the exhaustion. Has the workload finally taken a toll on me? I realize that I'm busier than before, I hardly can chat freely with my friends over GTalk anymore and my social life has been declining in alarming rate. When I'm not at work, I would be at my yoga studio, or my home. And at home, I would spend my time doing house chores, or looking for ideas for new projects for my Etsy shop.
But this past week, I could hardly leave my bed once I was home, and I unproductively wasted my time watching Korean dramas. I am now on to 3 different Korean dramas of different genres: It's Okay It's Love, Fated To Love You and Joseon Gunman. I like those dramas equally so far and I am impatient to finally get their final episodes.
Oh yes, I've ordered myself a new Yamaha keyboard and they are to be delivered next Saturday. I can't wait to start playing around with it. It has been literally decades since the last time I played any musical instrument, and I am excited to finally get myself playing tunes again!
Last but not least, let's end this recap on a good note, I had a fun dinner and dessert with my girlfriends who I have not seen for quite some time. I'm glad that they set up this girls night out, coz I was in dire need of some social life after such a bleak week.

Weekly Recap: Week 32 (3 - 10 Aug 2014)
One more week has just passed. I don't know why this week flew so fast...
Work has been busy, which is both good and bad at the same time. Luckily, I have good colleagues that surely help me to bear all those hectic days. On Friday, my manager told me in the meeting that I would be responsible for the project in Thailand along with my colleague. I'm a bit wary about this, honestly. But anyway, let's just do the best I can and hope that everything will run smoothly.
On my side-job, I've made few pouches this week which I'm planning to upload tomorrow as soon as I take some photos for my Etsy shops. I've been on creative mood lately, and my brain seems to not stop thinking about new projects! :)
But that is not without its consequences... I have been stepping away from my social life lately, which I'm fully aware that it's not good... I should really get in touch with my friends. As my friend used to say: friendships are like investments, you need to cultivate it in order for it to grow, otherwise, it will die and you are left with regrets and worst, loneliness... :(
Last but not least, I am enjoying Pilates and Mysore yoga more and more! And for my weekly exercise, I think I will go for 2 classes of hot yoga classes and 2 classes of regular yoga/pilates classes weekly. This way, my body will not be used to just one kind of yoga. thus it should improve my strength and stamina better. Wish me luck!
Reminder for next week: getting a ukelele, checking Japanese classes, getting in touch with friends.

Weekly Recap: Week 31 (27 Jul - 3 Aug 2014)
Ehmm, happy birthday to me~!
This week started with my birthday celebration with my 2 good girlfriends last Sunday and we went to a Korean restaurant in Plaza Singapura since I was craving for spicy beef soup (육개장). Then one of the girls shared something that happened to her recently that ended with her staying in a hotel for few days although she actually lives with her sister and mom. I can't share the full detail here, but I can say few other things:
I just hope with this incident, she could finally move on and just get rid of that parasite.
My second celebration was a lunch and coffee time with my other close girlfriend on Monday (it was a public holiday in Singapore). She wanted to try Lady M Confections in Marina Square and so we did!
We ordered 2 Lady M Iced Coffee (so not gonna order this again!), a slice of green tea mille crepes and checker board.
We had a great time catching up and I was surely glad to share story about my new flatmates and his not-so-gentleman behaviors.
My weekdays this week were also quite hectic. I got to help the business analyst fixing some reports since the other girl in charge was on vacation, and on my actual birthday itself, I spent it in the office.... kinda sad, huh? It would have been if I didn't get to celebrate it in advance with my dear girlfriend (luv ya gals! :*)
And then last but not least, my last dinner celebration was my dear friend who also shared her birth month with me. We had a great dinner, followed by (not so great) cake and coffee time. I wanted to take her to a pub with great life music, but I was too tired to stay up late so that we had to take a rain-check on that. Hopefully we can go some time next week.
The evening was spent with us catching up, and her sharing how her life lately has been quite gloomy and negative. She also wonders if this is the symptom of about-to-turn-30 since she remembers I was somewhat like that too...
Oh dear girl, and I turn out fine, don't I?
On Indonesian 2014 Election news, the loser is still sore and not accepting his lost. I wonder how long he intends to keep on doing this. It will only ruin his name and his possible chance for 2019 election. The people around him have shown how despicable and shallow they can be, especially with one of their lawyers bluntly said that there is possibility of riots if Constitutional Court deems them a loser (again). Oh come on guys, can you all move on already! Stop fighting for your personal gain and start thinking about the country and its people!
- Love makes people do the most idiotic things
- Hope makes it difficult to move on
- The quality of a man is measured on how he handles crisis
I just hope with this incident, she could finally move on and just get rid of that parasite.

The evening was spent with us catching up, and her sharing how her life lately has been quite gloomy and negative. She also wonders if this is the symptom of about-to-turn-30 since she remembers I was somewhat like that too...
Oh dear girl, and I turn out fine, don't I?
On Indonesian 2014 Election news, the loser is still sore and not accepting his lost. I wonder how long he intends to keep on doing this. It will only ruin his name and his possible chance for 2019 election. The people around him have shown how despicable and shallow they can be, especially with one of their lawyers bluntly said that there is possibility of riots if Constitutional Court deems them a loser (again). Oh come on guys, can you all move on already! Stop fighting for your personal gain and start thinking about the country and its people!
New Resolution: Weekly Recap
Earlier this week, I went out with one of my girlfriends for a July birthday celebration - both of us are July babies. And my dear friend was reminiscing one Saturday when we both planned to watch Alice in Wonderland, but we wound up in a wrong cinema so that we had to rush for only in a mere 10 minutes or so, the movie would have started.
It was a very 'chaotic' day in a way for both of us and just to prove that I could be totally blur sometimes. Although we put some of the blame to the cinema chain... For most of its cinemas, the naming convention is the chain name + the area or mall it's located, which is simple enough to comprehend. But only for one cinema, the naming is totally different! It is GV Grand (GV is the abbreviation of the cinema chain) and the place or area or mall it's located is nowhere near "Grand"! As for me being blur as I could be that day, was thinking that the cinema was located in Marina Square mall............
So anyway, all in all, it should have been an incident that would not be easily forgotten, don't you think?
But I did forget, and I was literally shocked to realize that I would not have ever remembered that incident at all if only my friend didn't bring it up. Sigh... This sudden realization makes me think if I might have forgotten other memorable events that are actually worth remembering or shared with loved ones if only just for a laugh.
I have tried blogging or writing diaries some time earlier in my life, it never usually lasted as long as I would like it to be. But looking at how I might have forgotten oh so many worth remembering memories, I seriously think that I should start writing a journal or some sort. Aside from the fact that then later in the future I will be able to read my life adventure (no matter how exciting or dull it is), I know for sure that by writing about what happened, I will be forcing myself to re-live the events, thus it will be etched deeper in my memory - makes sense, doesn't it?
So here's to my new resolution, weekly recap!
And I say to myself, "good luck!" - coz who would know that the next thing I will forget is writing my weekly recap...
