		<description><![CDATA[I am compelled to post these compulsory photos of the view from my room at the hotel I am currently staying at. ..Top level of the hotel, harbour view room. Nope, you can&#8217;t stalk me coz I am moving to a new hotel tomorrow. My new company put me up there. I am currently in Sydney for a two-weeks orientation/training before the fun really begins. Prior to this, I was in Brisbane (and Gold coast and Sunshine Coast) and then Perth for two weeks. Training doesn&#8217;t really count as work especially when you&#8217;re on Business trips, all expenses paid for, with travel allowance. My brain&#8217;s only functioning at 20% capacity to absorb new information and learning new stuff. But, yea.. I think I am still on holiday&#8230; or at least it feels like it. Life&#8217;s good]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ok, I think I mentioned in my very first post on this website.. that I will not be able to keep blogging. Previous to this, I attempted blogging several times and failed miserably. My last post before this is July. There is a couple of hidden post but not much. Since then I have been very busy with&#8230; work, family, friends, and other social commitments. I went to Japan last month. Took thousands of photos. I was planning to post my experience but never got around to it. We got lost, got culture shock, lots of fun, made new friends amongst other things&#8230;I might&#8230; someday&#8230; My boyfriend bought me a wii, I am kinda hooked up with RPG games AGAIN! I was madly in love if Genso Suikoden, Final Fantasy VII onwards and numerous other RPGs (on PS1 and PS2) before. Two of my friends whom I really fond of (we were very close when we were still students) got married. Unfortunately I can only attend only one of the wedding because I was in Japan when the other got married. Congratulations to you both. I wish you both and your husbands a really happy and blessed marriage life. Dozens of my friends and acquintances got engaged, married, pregnant or popped out some babies. My facebook is saturated with these status updates, messages, events, photos and movies. Must be around that time of the year&#8230; My best wishes to all of them. A dear friend of mine just lost her mother and sister within a couple of months. My prayers and love with her. I am sure everything will pick up for her in the coming months, years&#8230; and hopefully forever really!! I didn&#8217;t get much time to work on my websites&#8230; so twanswers is currently broken. I am losing page rank and visitors on a number of sites. Even patriciachan.com is suddenly not compatible with a number of browser. The good thing is, google is still paying me some money . I hardly had one continuous relaxing weekend in Canberra. I have been travelling (internationally and interstate) a lot.. for holiday.. for wedding.. for birthdays and other celebrations.. for work.. and playing guides in Sydney to a lovely family we met in Japan. I also learnt that life is short and precious, so&#8230; Live your life to the fullest, get out and experience new things or you&#8217;ll never know what you&#8217;ve been missing. Be content and grateful for what you have but do not settle for second best. Do not dwell in the past, leave the toxic friends behind, and move on. They do not deserve your friendship. Express your love and do not take the people you love for granted. To love is the best gift you can have and give. Love the bunny]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am on holiday and I wasn&#8217;t planning on blogging. I don&#8217;t think I will have time for it because I just want to relax and spend time doing tourist stuff. The old Jakarta Even if I blog, I did not expect to blog about Jakarta. I am not particularly fond of this capital city of Indonesia. Even though I am from Indonesia, I did not have very good impression of the city. From my previous trips, I only remembered the weather (very hot), the crowds (too many of them), the rubbish (it&#8217;s very dirty), the traffic (you could spend 2 hours on 1 km car trip) and that I never had a good time there. My mum always told me that the city is dangerous and I wasn&#8217;t allowed to go anywhere without my family. I also used to found that people on the street are also not very friendly. The unplanned trip I thought I would be blogging about the other legs of my trip, either Singapore or Thailand, or both. However, this time, I found myself strangely drawn to the Jakarta part of the trip. The Jakarta trip was also unplanned. Originally, I thought I have to spend 6 days 5 nights in Singapore. The Great Singapore Sale is on, and I might just go shopping, shopping and shopping. However, Singapore is a very small city and I found the shopping is not as cheap or as good as it used to be. I don&#8217;t feel like shopping there is a bargain anymore. So I decided to just spend a day in Singapore and go to Jakarta to see some old friends from Perth who now lives in Jakarta. The New Jakarta Well, it&#8217;s not exactly the new Jakarta. Yes, it has evolved. There are more malls, more shops, more things to do, more restaurants, etc that what it used to be. But Jakarta is always very cosmopolitan, fast-paced and growing rapidly even after the city&#8217;s bad moment (Indonesian Revolution 1998). The city is still dirty, traffic is still really bad and the crowds are everywhere. HOWEVER, I found that the city is not as dangerous as it used to be. The facilities have also vastly improved and modernised. There are more and more educated and smart people in Indonesia who noticed the bad things and make it their business to fix it. For example, I used to be really scared travelling alone in Jakarta (I still am ) but I notice there are more facilities that will make me feel safer to travel solo in Jakarta. Taxi used to be really dangerous and the drivers would try to rip you off. I belive that is still the case in some. However, The Blue Bird Taxi (.. group) builds up their reputation to be the safest taxi in Jakarta. When other taxi companies realise that they are losing customers, they fix themselves. You can now order official airport taxi from Sukarno-Hatta Airport rather than queing, pick your...]]></description>
