Have you ever tried typing your name in Google to see what you could find out of it?
A friend of mine actually typed the name of the girl whom he's fond of in Google, just to find a link showing the history of her employment in certain company! I know it sounds geeky freaky etc, but well trust me he's a kind-hearted guy. Perhaps he was feeling a little bit bored then.. :p
Anyway, this actually raised my curiousity. I wonder what could one find by typing his/her name in Google.
I actually tried typing my name to see what I could find, but I guess my name is an exception. A list of mostly french websites, many related to "Monalisa" or "Mona Lisa", appeared! As expected, most are related to Da Vinci paintings, while there are other few sources such as Monalisa Interior Decorators Pte Ltd, Monalisa Hairstyle, Monalisa Bridal etc. Interesting eh *wink*
I tried typing few other names on Google too. Some names actually relates me to their owners, those I know of; while there are few names that returned no results too. I'm not going to reveal the names here for confidence purpose.. :p
Well perhaps I'm feeling a bit bored here, but it's kinda an interesting way of filling up your free time eh ;)

Living Standard in Jakarta
I just realised how high the living standard in Jakarta is. A hair cut here for female starts from $30, while for male starts from $25! A fast food meal costs around $5-$6 per pax. A normal char kway teow costs around $3.50. I really think that Jakarta is becoming more and more expensive.
A normal person can live by $20/day, but that doesn't mean that $600/mth is all that you need. A car is a MUST transportation means here, so you have to include fuel surcharge into your monthly expenses, which perhaps will cost $25/wk depending on usage. For ladies, we need skin care expenses, perhaps amounts to $100/mth. Electricity/gas/water/internet bill amounts to $100-$200/mth depending on usage. Bear in mind that I haven't even touched on entertainment expenses. A simple proper life would require $1000/mth to survive!
I guess the living standard in Jakarta is really comparable to Singapore, or perhaps higher. People here care a lot about their 'face'. For some people, hair treatment, manicure-pedicure, massage and spa are basic monthly needs. Although perhaps they don't spend a lot on food, they do spend a lot on service and leisure.

Slacking Day
Wasted my whole day sleeping throughout! I am still recovering from the hectic from Convo-Genting-Singapore-Jakarta trip I guess. Time really flies, especially when you sleep on it :p just kidding! *haiz actually I wished I could utilize my time better for other activities. Really hate wasting my time this way!
Anyway let me share with you my finding on mask :) SK-II mask is really different! I tried so many different kind of masks, yet none has ever given me the satisfaction I got from SK-II mask. Well the $20 mask worths its every cent! After the treatment, my face becomes much fairer and softer! Darn!!! If only it wasn't so costly.. I guess the saying is true "yi fen chien yi fen huo"
I really like my new hairstyle now. I guess short hair suits me better :) Had the haircut at Cineleisure Supercuts two days before my flight. I personally think that the skill was just fine and the service wasn't really that bad, but my hair turned out real great. Perhaps it's after-cut feeling :p
My study to Shanghai has been approved by MOE finally! All left are only preparation of banker's guarantee, China visa application and apartment hunting in Shanghai. Applying visa in Jakarta aint an easy task, so I guess I'd process it once I'm back in Singapore. *phew* Looks like I'm gonna be real busy in Singapore then. I hope two weeks would be enough to settle all these..
To all my friends, I hope to be able to catch up with you when I'm back. If time doesn't permit, I'd see you again in Singapore k :) I'd still be back after all, with even better Chinese hopefully!! hahahha..

Moving with MY Cheese
I shall say that the book 'Who Moved My Cheese?' is a great inspirational book. It shows how one often being led by the comfort one has in his/her current life, that he/she is unable to react positively towards changes that occur and change his/her current life. This book teaches you on how to react and respond positively to the changes, and in turn benefits from the changes
In 'Who Moved My Cheese?', 'Cheese' is used as analogy of what's important in life, be it career, money, family, love etc; ; while changes happen when the 'Cheese' is no more there, or it has been moved. The more important 'Cheese' is to you, the more you want to hold on to it!
People don't like changes because of the fear of change, that's why they resist changes. However, when changes happened, they had no choice but to cope with the changes and change along with the changes. There are, though, some people who just can't cope with change and refuse to change. These people would eventually extinct.
This book has made me look at my Shanghai study in a different light. As I've mentioned in my previous post, I'm uncertain about my decision on Shanghai study, mostly due to the fear of having to move to a new foreign country alone. I'm afraid of the change and thus resist change, as what people often do! However, I'm now able to look positively at this opportunity and looking forward to the change. I believe there'd be a better 'Cheese' in Shanghai waiting for me to savour ;)
Now that I'm done with the book, I'm hunting for my next reading now. I guess this reading craze of mine will be on for quite a some time, not that I don't like it though! hahahha.. I'm into China history actually, not because of my China studies though, but I'm really interested to learn about Three Kingdoms, the dynasty and distinguish the difference between each dynasty, and how it became republic country. Credits go to Andrew who always share his knowledge of China history to me. I'm looking for a great book on it. Any recommendations anyone? *wink*
Anyway, Ronald, you should read the book 'Who Moved My Cheese?' and perhaps 'The Present'!! I'd pass them to you once I'm back k ;) Although, perhaps you don't need them since you are already full of optimism in life! :) Anyway I think 'Atlantis' should be an interesting novel, you have it yet?

The Present
Genting photos are up on the net! Just click on the link to view it ;) There's a Middle Eastern Fair event going on in Genting during my stay. I encountered many of Middle Eastern-ers there. Really wonder why should they hide such beauty behind those masks. Anyway I spent my last day taking pictures of the stalls in the fair :p Have fun viewing ;)
Dad, me and bro :)
Currently I'm into reading craze. Never knew that reading would be so fun. I started my reading on 'What Color is Your Parachute' by Richard Bolles. It's a good book on job hunting and career change. Figured out that I'd need it sooner or later so I bought the book :p I decided to enjoy the book slowly during my stay in Jakarta :)
Well I figured out that I need some brain exercise. My brain has been hibernating for too long that it's almost paralyzed! Or perhaps it has!! Well, I guess it's time to tune up and start the engine :p Anyway I guess I've found myself a new hobby: reading! Call me nerd, I can't be bothered, coz I really enjoy it! :p
Bought two books today: 'Who Moved My Cheese' and 'The Present', both by Dr Spencer Johnson. I just finished reading 'The Present'. It is a wonderful book about how to be happy and successful in your life and work by understanding three elements of life: The Past, The Present and The Future.
Many people often dwell in The Past and/or daydreaming about The Future that they live nor in The Past, The Future or The Present. They waste their time spending unnecessary energy on thinking of The Past and/or The Future and causing themselves to be distracted from their activities in The Present resulting in poor effieciency and bad results in their work/life,
This book tells you about how to really enjoy your life in The Present by being in The Present. It means focusing on what you are doing, tuning out distractions and paying attention to what is important NOW. It also teaches you on how to improve your life in The Present through learning from The Past and planning for The Future.
Basically, it teaches you on how one should look at The Past, learn something valuable from it and use it to improve The Present. On the other hand, planning for The Future is essential to make you feel less anxious so that you could concentrate more on being in The Present, thus enhance your life quality in The Present.
I personally feel that 'The Present' has really taught me a lot about life. It showed me how I often wander in my thoughts about The Past or The Future, causing myself to lost track of The Present. I realized how ineffective and inattentive I've been in the past few months. I'm anxious about my Shanghai study and perhaps there were still some matters in The Past that I've been unable to let go.
I'm now starting to apply what I learnt from this book into my life. I'd recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve his/her life quality to lead a happy and successful life :)

Genting 4D3N
Taiwan 7D trip was cancelled since my dad and bro were unable to apply visa in Singapore. Now I learnt that visa application to other countries can be done ONLY in your residence country, except for China. *haiz.. We were truly disappointed as we were really looking forward to the trip. Fortunately we still had our Genting 4D3N trip in plan..
My first night in Genting was pretty interesting. As expected from someone who turns 21 this year, I entered the casino to try my luck in gambling :p First round on 'Tai Sai' table was break even..Took a break and continue on second round. Me and my uncle decided to cooperate after we lost all our capital. We gambled till dawn and decided to call it a night after winning double our capital. hahahahah...
The next day, I woke up with a very bad headache and sore throat. Guess it was due to the late night, lack of rest and dehydration. Went to reflexology to get a chair massage to release the tension on my neck and shoulder. To my surprise, I fainted (yes AGAIN). I was lucky enough to be saved by a chinese doctor who gave me a foot reflexology to heal my pain..
It's amazing how your feet can tell you so much about your body. This doctor could understand my body condition, even to my period frequency, eating habit and lifestyle, only through pressing my feet! Don't underestimate the power of foot reflexology man! He instantly healed my headache and release the tension on my back! Call me blessed man!
I learnt from my experience. Now I'm going to take real good care of my own health. He actually told me stuff that really scares me, so I better be serious now. In fact, I've been living a healthy lifestyle, minus the exercise though :p
Anyway my appetite been real good for the past few days. It's due to the weather I presume. I had meals like every 2-3hours! hahahaha.. The price of food here is crazy! It's even more expensive than Singapore!! Goodness... I guess they hike the price cos I remember that it wasn't this expensive in 2003..
Well since my Taiwan trip is cancelled, I'm going back to Jakarta again on 25th July. Be back to Singapore on 9th August though and should be flying off to Shanghai sometime around 20th August. So guys, I catch up with ya all in August k :)

Andrew's B'day Dinner
Happy birthday Andrew!! Yes I know it's VERYYY late.. But, oh well, as the saying goes - it's better late than never.. *grins
Wondering why am I the only girl seen? That's because:
1. Andrew hasn't found his love of life, but yes he's looking!
2.Yong Han has been too busy with his stupid World of the War Craft
3. Sonny wants too much from a girl: sexy, tall, slim, pretty.. anything but smart! :p
My herb crusty garoupa.. *Mmmm looks good eh! FYI, it's not chocolate! It's black soy sauce! Yes I'm talking about the black colour sauce on the plate..
Three hunkies posing in front of One-Ninety. Look at the smiles on their faces after a great decent meal ;)
Our sumptous dinner at One-Ninety in Four Seasons.
Great food, excellent service, fantastic ambience, but wrong companion.. *ops jk guys! :p

China studies
Just a lil update on my side..
Many friends have been asking me about my studies in Shanghai and when am I leaving for China. Well apparently I'm still waiting for MOE approval, but I'm expecting myself to arrive in Shanghai sometime in late August, say around 20th August.
Need to familiarize myself with the surroundings and find an apartment to live in. There are many administrations to be done too.. It's not easy to study abroad despite the fun and adventurous mood.. Trust me..
Anyway my course starts on 9th Sept. I'm enrolled to Fudan University for a Chinese Language course. Upon completion, I'd be given a certificate certifying my studies. Yes it's not a Master nor PhD degree :)
In the mean time, I might be staying in Singapore or perhaps go back to Jakarta again. Well I'm currently on the look out for short-term job with good pay. So anyone who comes across good deal, please inform me k ;) Drop me a message at this blog :)
I'm really looking forward to this Shanghai study. Other than improving my Chinese linguistic skill, I'd like to see a different culture in a different country. I really feel that this opportunity would be real worthwhile :) Feeling both excited and anxious..
Honestly, there were times when I felt doubtful of my decision to study in China. I don't wanna waste my time anymore and I was kinda freaked out to go abroad alone I guess. I frequented Singapore a lot so I wasn't really scared to come to Singapore for my study in NTU. But China is a new foreign country for me. Moreover, I'm truly concerned about its security and cleanliness of the food. I just hope that I could adapt well there..

Convocation
Initially, I wasn't enthusiastic to attend my convocation. To me, it was all about meticulous gown wearing, boring long hours ceremony, picture takings in hot sunny weather etc. One could already imagine how tiring it's going to be, not to mention going through it! I attended anyways for the sake of my dad.
To my dad, convocation marks the end of his burden (I guess). He could finally 'see' and feel his effort being paid off. I can't understand his happiness, nor could I feel it. All I know that he feels real proud seeing his daughter in gown and mortarboard walking up the stage receiving (empty) certificate cover from Dr. Su Guaning.. Parents..
As the ceremony went on, to my surprise, I felt something stirring up my heart. It was a mixed up emotions of happiness, sadness and proud. The feeling was indescribable.. I found it hard to believe that four years have passed by so fast. It felt like yesterday when I first stepped into NTU attending lecture in MLT. Back then, I was looking forward to this day. Now that I'm here, I'm sorta.. lost.. of what to do next..
The ceremony turned out fine. In fact, it reminded me of Harry Potter show! hahahha.. As it went nearer to the end, the audience became more responsive and the claps were even louder!! hahaha.. it's typical I guess ;) Again, my name drew quite a number of response. Even Dr. Su himself commented on the uniqueness of my name. I didn't realize the laughters until my friend told me! Cmon! Monalisa isn't that funny right? -_-"
Took quite a number of pictures with family, professors and friends :) I have put up the link for your viewing pleasure.. Thinking of going back to NTU one of these days to take pictures again. Anyone interested? *wink
I personally feel that the graduation ceremony in Singapore is too clustered. Perhaps they should just have only one ceremony for all the graduands of the year from all the faculty. This way we can enjoy and share the moments together. The more the merrier! Of course, a big stadium would be required then, but I believe it shouldn't be a problem. I noticed that there's a distinctive feature of all graduation ceremony that's missing here - throwing of mortarboard! It's a classic of all graduation - quoted from Andrew Wee, and how could we miss it!!
Last but not least, to all my fellow graduates:
Congratulations my friends!
We have come this far.
Let's put to good use what we have learnt.
All the best for your future endeavour!

Stupid MOE
Can't believe how a goverment body could be so irresponsible!!! Guess what happened?! I submitted my documents for application of bond deferment in early June. Called in yesterday to inquire for the status and they told me that they lost my application?!!
I clearly handed in to the customer service and asked them to pass it to the relevant person (in name!). And now she told me that she doesn't have it in her record?!!! I was like @#%!#^%$@^@$!!! Then she asked me to resubmit my application...
I'm really speechless.. lost of words.. no idea of what to say... Can't believe that they could be so careless.. so irresponsible.. .....................................................................................................

New Haircut
Hmm seems like most of my recent postings revolved around food.. Well it can't be helped I guess. Been pigging out for the past 3weeks! Basically it's all about food and shopping here in Jakarta.. Boring eh.. So people, try other location for your getaway k! :p
Anyway let's start on new topic.
I had my hair cut today! Geez.. I don't know. I guess this time people will not believe me when I said that I don't go 'chiong'! It's not that clubbing is bad or whatsoever, but I really don't go.. Can't stand the smoke and loudness. They tend to associate looks with clubbing, I wonder why?! James was really curious and asked me to send him a pic of myself before posting it on the blog. I'm not sure if I should really post it on the blog.. oh well..
Going back to Singapore next week (FINALLY!!!) Miss my boyboy lots.. :( Going to be real busy in Singapore. Lotsa things to do besides shopping, convocation and dates with dear dear :p
1. Book Genting tix and room
2. Check with MOE regarding my bond application
3. Go to UOB Bank
4. Apply China Student Visa (if approved)
5. Book China tour (if approved)
So little time yet so many things to do.. *sobs
