Snowball
The flight was good! Except from the Oz couple in front of my seat who kept on making out and the two toddlers (they were very nice though) behind my seat.

I think I'm in love with Korea man, the girls are super pretty! And their skin! I'm envious.

So the lady at Changi reminded me that my luggages were very heavy (obviously) and she was afraid if the airport here won't let it pass. But after a tense wait for two hours due to some airport delay, I have my luggages alright. No scratch!

And then the imigration officers were fierce. They INTEROGATE people and KILL with their eyes. But thankfully, the officer who was supposed to interogate me was distracted by my name (my name is an italian boy name, no last name) that he forgot to interogate me.

The streets are filled with white fluffy snow and the people are supernice here. It's like in a Roald Dahl's storybook. It's fogging outside and I was in bed yesterday sleeping my eyes out. Let me post pictures later...

Bluebells



Two ravens in the old oak tree and
One for you and one for me and
Bluebells in the late December
I see signs now all the time

The last time we slept together
There was something that was not there
You never wanted to alarm me
But I’m the one that’s drowning now

I could sleep forever these days
Because in my dreams I see you again
But this time fleshed out fuller faced
In your confirmation dress

It was so like you to visit me
To let me know you were ok
It was so like you to visit me
You always worried about someone else

At your funeral I was so upset
So upset so upset
In your life you were larger than this
Statue-statuesque

I see signs now all the time
That you’re not dead, you're sleeping
I believe in anything
That brings you back home to me

I see signs now all the time
That you’re not dead, you're sleeping
I believe in anything
That brings you back home to me

Piye tah rek
I'm in love with Indo okay, but I want to have more days to stay in Singapore!!!
I'm in a huge dilemma. So my flight to BC is on the 27th morning. I'm in Jakarta now. My initial plan is to go back on the 17th because I thought I need to sort my visa. But hey, who knows it came out that quick. Now that my visa is settled, I can stay as long as I want in Jakarta. All the while it has been a good stay. I have:

1) Eat: Bakmi GM, Pempek Garuda, Peking Duck, Blackpepper Crab, Grilled fish (Gurame Bakar), Martabak, etc. etc. in less than a week's time. One can NEVER acquire that in Singapore. Especially the first twos which are the most ever delicious food in the world.

2) Return visits to Hair salons (twice this week), Spa, massages (twice) and PEDICURES. Give me a brazillian and I'm in heaven.

3) Meet my family & friends.

4) READ. I'm reading Ayu Utami's Bilangan Fu. Which I'm supposed to read after Marguerite Duras' The Lover, which is a parting gift from Moni (together with Princess Jasmine's storybook and The Last Lecture) - but I can't resist Ayu Utami's books. Even though I hate Larung. And I have read The Lover!! Although I didn't manage to finish it three years ago. I think I lost it. So I shall read this one.

5) Update myself with my mother's very interesting life. OK, so post her backstabbed saga by her business partner a year ago, she proceeds with her career in coal and gold mines, and one thing led to another (long story), she ends up with vessel ship business and trade with a few mafias in Indonesia. I'm really keen to write my mum's life story. Anyway.

6) My Xmas present from Mom. Which I can't reveal yet because I believe it's a jinx.


LIFE'S GOOD NO?

YEAH.


But Mom insisted me to go back to Singapore on the 26th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which I seriously object because it will leave me, what, half a day (!) to repack my baggage and change currencies and settle my accounts in Singapore!! YAIKS! Not only that! It means I can't have a PROPER farewell with my friends. And I'm beyond sad when I couldn't meet them last time.


Sigh.


OK. Going out. Ciao.


PS: I LOVE LOUBOUTIN'S BOUTIQUE IN PLAZA INDONESIA!
PSS: My little sister dragged me to watch Bolt the other day. Cheesy and predictable as it is, I'm a sucker for dog movies. Sigh.
