This morning I missed the usual 199 bus that takes me to catch the company shuttle bus >.<

And guess what, the subsequent bus came later than usual and made me also missed the next shuttle bus.

FYI, there are three “morning” shuttle bus to my company. One is 8.00 at boonlay, then 8.30 and 9.30 at jurong east. So I missed those two earliest bus and my choice is only to take 9.30 bus or taxi. Since I got no more lab work to do I decided not to take taxi of course.

But then, waiting for the third shuttle bus to come will be very long and boring for me. Although it’s only for an hour ^^;;

Since I will also left the company soon, I would like to do a little bit of adventure to gain more knowledge about Singapore

This morning I decided to take public bus and took a walk to the Jurong Island pass station. Some of the public buses I know can get there or near there are 194, 249 and 98. The last directly goes to the pass station but unfortunately it’s not at boonlay intechange.

So, after I try to interpret what the map at boonlay station says, I took the 194 bus  and tried to walk from there (the distance in the map seems quite short, I should take a look at the scale first actually >.< )

Then..there it goes, I needed to walk for 30 minutes to reach the pass station from Jurong Bird Park. Not that short eh? Actually it’s not so far away but there is only a very few crossing path around that area and made me have to walk back and forth to be a good “citizen”. Well, I am not a citizen of Singapore yet, I am a foreigner. Haha..

But actually I saw a lot of interesting things along my way there. Some of them are the “wild” empty lots near jurong island. It’s kind of a rare scenery here in Singapore for me since what I see everyday is the neatly cut grass in NTU. Its untidyness reminded me about Indonesia of course. Where everything is “wild”.

The others are a huge altar placed in a hidden space besides a factory..Kinda scary actually for me..Since at that time no one is around and the morning breeze brought along the scent of the hio used with additional of quite murky and wild environment around that altar.

I was also need to walk in some hidden and quiet path which I’m quite sure very seldom to be walked by. However some beautiful flowers grow there and it was fun. Hoho..

At certain point of my journey I’ve felt quite exhausted and I really wanted to jump into the open truck stopped near the traffic light. But of course a decent lady like me won’t do that, will I? Haha..

Well, this morning adventure is kind of a good exercise for me since it has been quite long for me not to have sport.

Hmm..why it is so hard to write in English, still not get used to it. But I will try to. ^^

Hmm..somehow I like these XRD spectra.

Some of the results of my work for almost of 20 weeks.

I was watching this movies with my IA friends (of course, since the others are still on the exam period) ^^

The film was quite funny actually, but it seems that I wasn’t in the good mood for doing anything these days (a little bit emotionless is what I can describe) ^^;;. Therefore, the film doesn’t leave too deep impression too me.

I like to write a poetry since I was in the primary school, fourth year I guess. I still remember a bit about my 1st poetry. The title was “In the end of this road”. Hmm.. sounds like a heavy topic for a primary four students rite?

If I am not mistaken it’s about someone who has just lost his close friend in an accident. Very sad and made me cry when I wrote and reread again. Here are some of the parts I still remember:

Di ujung jalan ini kita bertemu
In this road ends we met
Di ujung jalan ini pula kita berpisah
In this road ends we also set apart

And the other word I remember I used in my poetry was “pusara” which means grave. I really don’t know from where I got such a sad word in my very young age. ^^;;

Well, the other parts I don’t remember at all.

One of my problems when writing poetry is that I need to wait until I’ve got a suitable mood to write one. If I don’t have that mood, the poetry I write won’t be so good and sometimes even funny. I also can’t appreciate what I write if I am not at a good mood.

My other problem is that it seems I will write almost the same kind of poetry if I force myself to write some poetries in short time span. One of my friends also told me that my poetries has pretty close “mood”. Well, I guess I can’t make a cheerful poetries. Haha…

The other problem is I don’t know what’s the criteria of good poetry. Maybe I will search some after this. I’ve ever heard that if you can make a multi interpretation poetry, it means that you’ve made a good poetry. Well, I always make a straight-forward poetry since I am a straight forward person. Hoho…
If you ask me what’s the criteria of good poetry according to me, I will say that a good poetry can bring the correct emotion as intended by the writer to its reader.

Ok then, write again later.

*Writing blog after rushing report*

Hmm…some of my friends told me that wordpress is better than blogspot, especially the design, features, etc. I guess that’s true.Therefore, I think I will start to write here instead of my old blogspot. Anyway, I also seldom update my old blog.

Maybe more fancy blog will motivate me to write more often? Hope so.. ^^

I don’t know in what language will I write this blog in, since I am not that proficient in English writing. Maybe I’ll try my best to write in English, but for some entries especially poetry I think I will write in Indonesian. 

Ok, cya in the next entries..
