what is anniversary to you? i am sad that some ppl choose to attend on other things and not joining the big celebration together later. we have different priorities, what can i say?
yesterday was exhausting day, interesting exhausting day. i call it the adventure of livi melinda. lolx.
i went to ICA very early in the morning finding myself had to leave the country on the same day. dropped by in office to talk with my boss and she offered me to go to bintan/batam and stayed in her chalet. wahaha.. so nice of her. my colleagues were very encouraging and caring as well (what did i do to deserve such good company?)
anyway i decided not to go back indo due to the anniversary today, so i called shirls up and asked her to accompany me to JB. she was shopping with pris. i went to look for them and walked for hours searching for the right suit, top and shoes for her.. she spent a bomb lolx. met shuz and mei at far east. by the time we finished shopping, shirls had to go to expo for rehearsal (BAKA) so at the end i went to JB alone. oh well.. so i crossed the border.
thank God for 2 things: - mp3 player .. it makes a lot of diff when you can listen to music through out - auto roaming hp .. it just makes me feel safe
then the funny things happened. at msian checkpoint, the officer stopped me, saying that i didn't have ticket, money and had to go back to indo instead. surprisingly i found myself very calm and confident lolx. after a while, he kinda whispered to me "if you give money, we will close eyes and let you pass" i stood there for few seconds, wondering if i heard him right.
then he went on to say that i could meet the big officer if i wanted to, but the big officer might want more money from me, like S$50.. but he just wanted S$20. so it was my choice. i found it hilarious, i laughed. in my mind i knew that i was not going to fall on this. so i took the risk, i requested to meet the big officer. the big guy talked to me, asked me some questions.. i took it as a chatting session. at the end of the whole talk, he said "i pity you, ok you can enter" then he let me pass without requesting any money. lolx. so i walked around at city square, it was actually quite fun.. like a getaway trip.
now it's time to go back to spore. at spore checkpoint, similar thing happened. the officer stopped me (not asking for money) but asked me to meet the big officer. while waiting, i sat beside him.. it was so funny man.. felt like in a movie. when i entered the room, there was like 10 ppl inside (dominated by guys) i guess with IMF going, the custom has become very strict and not letting a lot of ppl to enter. so.. i talked to the officer, another chatting session. i was not afraid, i started to think where to go for dinner with susi. at the end, he said this to me "ok i pity you, you can enter" wahahaha.. it's the same sentence as msian officer. simply hilarious. surprisingly he gave me maximum days to stay (didn't expect that), it's really kind of him but before i left he made me promise not to go to ICA cos he would get into problem for letting me in.
so i left and made my way down to meet susi for a nice dinner. reached home to feel really dead and slept early.
this whole saga really made me realize one more time that God is real and He is good. few years back i would feel scared and worried, imagine being alone in foreign land and grilled by the officers. but today i dare to say that i am not. it was just another journey with God. He is taking care of me, this i never doubt.
i gotta stop here n prepare myself for anniversary =) *livi* 12:27 PM
