Barelang Bridge

I live in Batam.

I even consider myself as a Batamese already even though my parents originally come from west sumatra.

I’ve lived here for almost 25 years, so sometimes i get to the point where i just gettin sick and tired of this island.

But then, when i travel and away from Batam, i often find myself missin Batam so much.

So i think its about time for me to promote a lil bit about my beloved Island of Batam.

Btw, the government also on mode of promoting Batam.

They called it Visit Batam 2010, please click if you want further information about it.

Here is a brief description about Batam:

I believe Batam is a popular holiday destination. We got warm weather, sometimes rain. Nice beaches if you go to the right places, i think most of the beach here is actually beautiful, but gov not really focus on it to make it as a tourism object, i hope they are now, since its Visit Batam 2010.

Batam is famous with its Golf Courses, its a beautiful green and affordable. Food? Batam famous with the seafood. So if you are a seafood lover, Batam will be heaven for you, try Golden Prawn and Kelong Seafood Restaurant, yummm…

and ohhh…visiting Batam is not complete until you experience our massage. Its good after a long day roaming around Batam. Just make sure you end up in the right place, coz Batam also got alot of funny business massage parlour. Try Sport Massage, its professional and they never let me down after the massage.

Batam is not far from Singapore. You can just catch a ferry and be there in an hour, making it one of the most accessible islands in the South East Asia region. So yeah…when am bored of Batam, i hope on to the ferry loh…

I happened to stumble on this link, and it got EVERYTHING you need to know about Batam. I WARN you, you NEED, i repeat; YOU NEED to read the information on this website before you come to Batam.

OR you can simply ask me :)

Enjoy!

2009|2010

31/12/2009 · Filed under Diary · Tagged , , , , , , , ,

Today is the last day on year 2009. Time passed by so quickly. And things happened sorta out of my plan. I’d consider it in a good way, thou. Oh yess…am older! No, not just older, but old. Am goin 26. Yuhuuuuu…….

Ok. Back to biz, my major highlight for 2009 was:

  1. My ecky brecky heart Break Up with Trevor. Thought I’ll be and spendin the rest of my life with him. Guess not! We broke up sometimes in February, the 14th for god sake. After bein together for roughly 8 months (Jun 13th 2008 – Feb 14th 2009). I was crushed and devastated, but what can I do, he’s just not THAT into me. Ok, I’ll be honest, it wasn’t that easy to let go of him. I loved him so much; I’d do anything for him. NO, actually it was SOOOO hard, like I’d rather die than not have him. I swear I couldn’t feel any emptier. My world collapse. I cry a river for days. And days. Even my bff sick and tired listening to me talkin abt my sorry ass love story getting dump by a white trash just bcoz of distance for most of the reason. So yeah…after that I was fucked up. Totally fucked up. And I better not go details on that.
  2. An affair with my boss. Thought I’ll never fall for anyone anymore, so I decided its ok to just play around. It’s fun, especially when you got an impression that he is a faithful husband (oh yeaahhh…he got a wife n kids alright). No intention of any serious shit, I go along with him. But it turn out differently, this one person bring back my faith abt there is actually a good man in this world. So I fall for him despite of age different and his marital status. I can’t recall the exact date we decided that we both serious in this relationship, but it all started somewhere between end of Jun and early July. It gets hilarious, scandalous, fabulous, and adventurous. I love it. I dunno how long we would last, I hope forever. And at least to me he doesn’t seem to be a jerk. ILUG.
  3. I travel quite a lot this year. YaY! And now I can put 3 new dots on the world map. Started with Thailand in January, India on October, and Perth in December. I was in Bali twice and of course Singapore. Am off to KL for NY celebration.

So yeah, that wud probably be most of it.

I look forward for a better life in 2010.

Adios 2009, welcome 2010.

Gav: It Started With A Text Msg

12/12/2009 · Filed under Diary, Party, True story

Not long after the embarrassing moment, we are having a function for the Hull Launching. I still don’t get to see much of him by then.

The celebration was held at I-Hotel Batam, on 7th floor. I came late as I had to attend my class before I can join them. When me and my 2 other girlfriends get there, everyone were pretty much chillin already. And of course, they are happy to have us gurls joining them on their full of men function. Easy on the eyes I’d say. Well, me n my gurls just came for the lamb chop, Hauhauahua…

One by one they left. The rest of us ended up in one table and just talkin craps. By then I notice, my boss was pretty flyin already. He got a face red like tomatoes cause too much drinking. The usual white trash thing.

Waiting for the bill to be count, we were standing next to each other. THEN I feel awkward at the way he looked at me. It is Like he’s about to eat me alive. Zzzzzzz….hahahhaha

But, hey…he is drunk; he would look the way he looks at me at just about any girl. So, I won’t interpret that look as something. I wouldn’t dare, he is married for your god’s sake.

That night, surprisingly, he let us the gurl to decide where to go next for the 2nd round. Of course it’s gonna be (and will always be) at NoName, Harmoni Hotel. Some are against it, they prefer The Step. But the boss goes with us, yuhuuu…

That’s it!

The next day, I have to take care of what left over from the function. We got few beers left. So I need to put it in one of the room @ i-Hotel. By then, the hotel people would know me as the Leighton girl. And they are very helpful.

I do need to get some signature from him to get the procurement going, I think then he was busy at Sekupang site, not Kabil site, where my office is, so I have to fetch him around for his so important signature.

So I have my papers ready, and deal with the left over beers. He said to put the beers in his room. So that’s it, I went to his room with one of the hotel staff, and put the beers in the freezer, and I spread everything that he need to sign on his bed, so he can see it, and signed it, and leave it with the driver, and the driver can return it to me. Get the job done. Yay…

The next thing I realize, he was askin me how I managed to enter his room. My answer was ‘I have my own way’. Hauhauhau, I guess he is not smart enough lolz. He text msg me; ‘Naughty but Nice’

Hmmm….am thinkin, that is not a common comment from a boss. I THINK, my boss is trying to be naughty with me. Ummm… he is married, but he wanna play? Hahahaha… I can do this! Let’s play.

And then followed by many text msg. Trust me, it’s not very important msg at all. So irrelevant to my job :D

One of the significant msg that I realize was, he wanna know what am doing on my free time, and so on and on and on.

And the most important msg was, he wanted me to pick a best place to eat, set a date and time, and arrange a dinner. I honestly thought he wanted me to do that for the entire staff, he LET me to think that, but when the day comes, and I asked him who is comin so I can arrange transportation and let them all know, he tell me he’d prefer just both of us. Ewww…ummm…OWKAY!

Gav: First Impression!

11/12/2009 · Filed under Diary, True story, uneg-uneg · Tagged , , , , , , , , , ,

I dunno where to start. Seriously!

But I know I love him. Sounds ridiculous I know, even to myself. But that’s true!

I guess it started with me working for Leighton Int. on Jun 3rd 2009. First time I saw him only after few days working, not on my 1st day, I thought he is some kind of arrogant white trash. Sleazy and nose stuck up in the air. And on the very same day, I happened to be going to Sekupang (where the boat Hull is bein build)  in the same car with him. Just me and him (of course there is a driver sitting behind the stirring wheel).

And you know what? We sat next to each other. And it’s weird, cos just before we depart from Kabil (where our site office is), I find out that he is THE Boss. Sigh!

He asked me questions, but he seemed to have doubt in me working for them. Well, its expected coz I told him that I was forced by my friend to accept the job. NOW, why would I tell my arrogant boss on the very first day I get the chance to talk to him? I guess I was being a nose stuck up in the air too. Hauhauhau…trying to make a statement, that just because he is the boss, doesn’t mean am gonna talk nice to him to impress him. I’ll be me.

He was acting very kool thou, busy with his blackberry and an A4 book which later I find out to be his ‘to do book’. He writes down everything he need to do on that book. OKAY hand writing!

Not much goin on after that. Quite! That’s it!

He is a serious boss. And the most important thing; he’s married!!! Doesn’t look like the kind who would play around. Later on I decided that he is a nice, decent, kind, serious boss. (yeahh… I changed my mind, so what?)

He got all my respect.

Until one day, I came to his office as usual to drop his print out. I was wearing my fav jeans, and top with white sweater. He out of the blue, was asking me to turn around. And DARINGLY openly checking out my butt. THAT’S RIGHT! MY BUTT!! IN FRONT OF LEIGH WALTERS, my Site Manager, my other boss. Before my nose.

Gosh, I AM so embarrassed!!! They both giggled at me. I dunno where to put my face, but to run off. Blushin!!!

Life goes on…
