Singapore
I always think that my life is somehow similar to Singapore. Busy, with rapid changes and constantly moving, yet interesting. Where ‘busy earning’ and ‘busy spending’ are back to back. Where every little empty space is filled with unbearable thoughts of being somewhere else.
But then I came back there last week and saw it a bit differently. The city was less hectic and more homey as if everything was just meant to be there. It was strangely peaceful, yet pretty lonely.
As for me, the most important part of traveling is to experience, a journey inside and out.

An Important Question, Among Beautiful Lines
That night, together with a band from Seattle on stage and hundreds of strangers on the grass, I sang and half-screamed myself an important question;
That love is watching someone die
So who’s gonna watch you die?
Magazined: GADIS ;)
A couple of weeks after this, GADIS called me and asked me a short long-distanced interview about my job. I was really excited because it was more like a nostalgia. It was my favorite magazine back in high school, plus I was once a freelancer there.
So I got featured in a booklet talking about professions for this edition (March 6 – 15, 2012). Mostly it talks about my job and the get-some-lose-some of living it. Yes, as a female on the rig (again). It’s nice that field geologist could be one of the 14 dream jobs to be chosen by young girls, along with chef, architect, PR, and (guess what!) character animator (yes, the girl who got involved in “The Adventures of Tintin”, Rini Sugianto! I’M HER FAN!)
Well, for my dear young girls, dream high and jump out of the box! Hope that you got inspired (again) :)
