After 5, most of the Singapore colleagues of mine fly back to Singapore leaving me and Alvin. Of course, I would not wish to disturb Alvin as he has his girlfriend to take care of. While for me? Well, Lily at first thought of going to shopping with me after 5. But I guess we [...]

We Move, Because of Our Loved Ones
April 23rd, 1998 No Comments
I really miss those good old days in BUN. People in this project do not understand me at all. I am wondering why some people can earn respect just like that. As for me, my moment has yet to come. Wonder what will happen when my whole army of subordinate arrives. Argument and argument. Don’t [...]

Karaoke
April 22nd, 1998 No Comments
Whole day very sleepy. As far as work is concerned, it is pretty boring. Reading BIM all the time and try to churn out some useless documents. My Singapore Citizenship is still pending and am still waiting for it to come true. So long never have any response from them. Wonder what has been going [...]

No One Can Put up with Me
April 21st, 1998 No Comments
Yen Pin complaint that the small bed has somehow “injured” his feet. Or something like that. In the end, he has decided to move into Alvin’s apartment. Same problem. Rooms. Went to dinner in yet another mall. Lucky Jason not with us today. The car was just nice for 5 of us including Alvin’s girlfriend, [...]

Supper Time
April 20th, 1998 No Comments
Last night, Jason and I drove out for supper and returned at 2 am. Hence not came as a surprise that I could not get up in the morning. Twenty minute late to be exact. And Alvin Koh was even more classic. Jason went up to call him and Alvin took more than ten minute [...]

I Begin to Like Malaysia

Social life being an expatriate is definitely something worth looking forward to. Especially having such a big group of people around us. A mobile phone seems to be one of the necessity for having a decent social circle. Tonight, we all went out for a dinner led by Lily. Adeline left a bit earlier then [...]

I Started Driving Again
April 15th, 1998 No Comments
As far as I can remember, two things happened today. First of all, after the whole morning of waiting and waiting, my mobile phone suddenly worked right after lunch. Not bad. I am very pleased about it. The other thing is that I drove Alvin Koh from the office to our apartment and back to [...]
A New Beginning in Malaysia
April 14th, 1998 No Comments
First day working in the new AC KL office. Kind of disappointing with Malaysia. Maybe it is not really fair to compare it with the AC JKT but everything in Jakarta seems so classy. And the apartment especially. As said by Alvin Koh, seems to us that “all eight legs” have to tie together as [...]
Live From Jakarta

Meanwhile, somewhere in Singapore where our reporting team leader is still thinking that what has happened in Indonesia last week was just some kind of “tumbled up and down in some small towns where supply is low”. Eating Singapore breakfast, watching Singapore TV, in peace. Under his brilliant leadership, the whole reporting team actually [...]

Looking Back on 1997
December 25th, 1997 No Comments
Another Christmas day, alone on my own. The background music? Well, “Do they know it’s Christmas”. Looking back the year of 1997. A lot has happened. Far too much. But I have to write them down. What’s life without memory? Good or bad, they make up our past. Hopefully, we can learn something out of [...]
