Lately these couple of months I've been blessed to have the opportunity for so many things and met so many people!
- went to this dudes film party where my teacher Sugi had worked on. It was hands down the weirdest thing I've ever seen (the film, the party, the LA barbie and ken actors) I did meet some questionable people, but also a COUPLE that are in the industry and was fine enough to chit chat. One was a british film maker guy whom I was introduced to and planned to go to Jakarta, and asked to see my short lol.
- getting to translate on a documentary piece and meet two amazing film makers! They travel the world and work on these documentaries for great causes. My role is minor but how great is it to be a part of this!
- Had to take care of visa again..but frankly my sis and I were still traumatized by our Laos trip, even if it a rather enjoyable in an almost illegitimate way. So we decided to go to Singapore!
I have never been there myself. From before I left and while we were there, an old college friend of mine named Andrew was beyond unbelievably kind to help on anything! looking for hostels, cheap stays, picking us at the airport and accompanying our walks! OMG.. i was so overwhelmed. We met our other friend and her boyfriend, we met Andrews friends there, we dined near the river, sightseeing, museums, boat rides, everything in 3 days! - it was incredible. Shame I didn't get the visa. But I thought then I'll go back to Indonesia, but in the meantime enjoy my time here. And that I did!! Incredibly grateful to andrew! On the plane next to me sat a rather gudlookin dude! He was thai and asked whether I were Singaporean or have friends there since he needed a place to live while studying there! LOL how great it is to meet new people at random places. And the food!! if you calculate it's actually not so far from Bangkok price, but the availabilty of indonesia food there was like an oasis for me! Ayam Penyet! DUH! It was so worth dragging my dead leg all over Bugis district for that! There was Nasi Padang in the food court! Bengawan Solo which is a cake shop the sells kue-kue tradisional Indonesia. even the frozen food at their 7/11 was soo much better and had variety than here! BEUAAAH
- Made a couple of new friends. An Indonesian friend of Dinda's came here for holiday. Thought he was alone, but turns out bought his Greek friend named Stefano's who was very nice and fun. On tues we were all invited to Alex's outback ladies night networking event - which was very very fun. Met other interesting people there as well, talked, free food. Although still stressing about my move to Jakarta, and my job hunt. Right now I'm content, what can I ask for? And only here would I have the chance to meet so many people. But I'm so grateful for everything that has happened to me. Whatever happens I should learn to just enjoy the ride...
