Day 36: Chill

Had superb breakfast today.
Then played FIFA 11 with friend's father.
He then went off to work.

Watched Boardwalk Empire.
Interesting, almost like Sopranos,
but not quite.

Had a nap.

Then went off to work.
Traffic was crazy.

Finally reached director's house,
only been told that meeting was
canceled.

Then I walked all the way to
friend's father's post house.

It was a great walk.
Haven't been walking for awhile.
Great to check out the area.

Had great dinner, local food.
Met some agency people.

Came back home, played more FIFA again.
Then friend's father taught me some
golf. Interesting game. Gonna research
it a little.

Yawn. Not a day goes by I don't think
of her.

Day 35: Buried.

I always get myself into shit.
Involved with the wrong people.
Like I'm subconsciously enjoy
digging myself a hole and falls
into it. Worse, I'll let myself
get buried.

Only when I no longer could take it,
I'll struggle to dig myself out.

Like I enjoy being buried and the
experience of digging out.

I shouldn't have checked.
I shouldn't have seen.

But at least now I know it's serious.
Now I know I have to stay away.

So many people saw it even before I did.
Was too blinded. Now I'm stuck. Buried.

Today starts the digging out.

This is for you:

Day 34: Sunday

Haven't been to church for awhile now.
Been listening to sermons through my
Iphone everyday though.

Work was ok today.
Test shoot some scenes and rigs.

Spent most of my time researching
on internet of commercials.

My ambition is to tap into the
international market someday.

It is possible, especially when
you are in this industry.

Wish to live in an Europe country
someday. I'm still pretty much
in love with my last trip to London.
Miss Brussels. Miss my special friend.

She didn't call.
Had tons of FB wishes though.
But not her.

Guess she really have moved on
and having a good life now.
Maybe I should to.

My first birthday away from home.

Was feeling a little reluctant to
go home today knowing that I'll
be alone. But I wasn't. Friend's
father and girlfriend was home.
We had pizzas and watch a dvd.

It was fun and cozy.

Still, I miss home a little,
and that cozy small room in London.

Day 33: The big 3

No work today.
Spent some time at home researching for
the next project.

Had some time to check out the local
malls. Fancy. Had some coffee, lunch,
then dinner. Nice place to bring a date.

At night went to a club.
Luckily, I had some friends from KL
who are living in Jakarta now, or I'll
be spending my birthday alone.

The club was crazy.
Went back home not too drunk.
Think my 30-year old body is finally
withstanding the alcohol.

Didn't had time to post, or was too lazy.
Am in production house now waiting
for the director.

Yep, it's Sunday, and I'm working.
But it doesn't bother much to me
cause I'm here to strive.

Happy 30!

Day 32: Research

Was researching the entire day
at director's house.

Mind constantly floating everywhere.
Recalling my last holiday at London.

Is Jakarta the city I truly want to
live in? If given choice, where would
I rather be?

I look at Jakarta as a stepping stone.

Always wanted to get out from the city
I grew up in. And now I'm here.

But I truly miss Europe.

I miss the culture.

I miss walking the streets.
Taking the tube.

It gets pretty depressing with your
heart longing for something that is
not at present but somewhere far away.

Finished work early.

Had some drinks with some friends.

Mind was still constantly away.

Not working tomorrow.
For the first time in Jakarta.

Now I'm worried, what am I to do?

Hate not working. Don't like the alone
time. I like my mind to be constantly
busy of something and not think of elsewhere
far away.

Someday...

Day 31: Nothing

Today's pretty chill-out day.
Client canceled on offline preview.

Went to director's house and did some
research. He's borrowing me one of
his macbook pro. Good machine.
Saying goodbye to my netbook.

Came back home pretty early.
For the first time I was back home
before 9pm.

Nothing much happened today.

Today's one of those days.

Day 30: First day

First day back at work.
Was at the production house.
While the director was presenting
the offline to the agency, I and
another colleague did some edit
on some random rushes, creating
a TVC for fun.

after work, met up with fellow
Malaysian friend to hang out with
his Indonesian friends.

We drove outskirt of the city that
was filled with big houses.
Very well off friends.
A complete contrast to the city.

Had good food and some wine.

A girl was sharing her tragic love story.

Compared her's to mine, mine doesn't
seem that bad after all.

Came back home, semi drunk.
Shall sleep, and prepare for tomorrow.

Day 29: Am back

Back in Jakarta today.

Hate waiting at airport alone.
Hate flying alone.

KLIA, hate the airport.

Took the train express,
reminded me of the train rides
from S.Hampton to London.
Always traveled with hope and excitement.

Hate being back in KL.
Missed friends+families, but KL just
doesn't feel the same anymore.
Felt like a ground where I've overused it
and done it all. Butterfly parks.

Am just counting the days of I being
in Jakarta till the day I officially
start directing here.

Tomorrow marks a complete 30 days I've
been here.

More to come, but not too long I hope.
