"Where are you from?"
"Indonesia.."
"Oooh ic. Once I took an Indonesian client from the airport. And apparently he came down to Singapore special for shopping at one of the biggest shopping malls here. And he didn't even want to go to the hotel first. So I said ok laah, let's go this mall.. And he became very excited and screamed, "Let's go to TAKSIMAAAANA...!!".
I speak Malay litte bit too, Miss, so I replied to him, ohh you're already in a taxi, Sir. And he said, no no no.. I said I wanted to go directly to TAKSIMAAAANA... SO I was very confused lah, Miss.. there is no such mall called TAKSIMANA here, buy yet he insisted and said he's been to this mall many times before and he knew exactly what he was talking about... Then I decided to say nothing and drove him to Orchard road. And yeah... what he meant was Takashimaya."
"Haha... you're so funny Uncle.."

Sudah dua bulan lebih aku di negara singa ini dan salah satu moment yang paling aku suka adalah ngobrol dengan taxi driver. Yah sebenarnya di Jakarta juga suka ngobrol, apalagi kalau bapak-bapak tua, biasanya lebih baik dan bawa taksinya bagus. Well, sebenarnya di Singapore kebanyakkan bawa mobilnya suka ngebut dan suka sekali rem mendadak, euh.. Setiap kali aku harus pakai seatbelt dengan baik dan benar kalau tidak mau terpelanting ke sana ke mari, haha. Tapi lucu aja kalau udah ngobrol sama mereka.
Oh how I miss those happy faces of Indonesian people. People laugh easily back at home and they smile alot.

I'm very happy my cousin, Natalia is in Singapore too. It's just so great to have someone close from your family and I can tell she really helps me alot during my stay here. She's been so nice and always try to cheer me up after long hours I put at work, loaded by endless projects, trying to be in line with the target which is so big that I can't achieve it even in my dreams, haha..
