Suddenly I am in heaven






Hey friends,

I am writing again. I think this time it's gonna be long and frankly I don't know where to begin coz there is just too much things to share and yet ny head is in such a mess now....I will try to write as detail as I can, like a fucking tourist:) if you don't like, you can swear at me, curse at me... i don't care. I know my emails is long and winding so if you don't like it for whatever reason or simply don't have time to read, please write me an email to unsubscribe from this list:)

OK, let's the keyboard rocks!! I started my official day 1 to my office cum manufacturing factory today and I believe, it was great and amazing. The company is extremely big. I think it is a combination of the Dell and Intel factory in Bayan lepas, pg.

I am so proud that I am attach to a company that is not only unconventional, but also modern and spend so much for its corporate social responsibility projects. In the viccinity of my company, it houses many of its manufacturing plant (steam engine and boiler), its own hospital, its welfare house, its mini zoo, its employee canteen, administration office and so on...

Its hospital also serve as a penal hospital not only to employees but also to those who in great povelty and in dire needs. The hospital have all the speciallist, ranging from surgeon, dentist, bone doctor, heart doctor, eye doctor, psyciatrist, counsellor, spin doctor, doctor alban, doctor pepper, doctor zhivago and dun know la... so many fucking doctors..This hospital provide gentle care to those from the slump and live in poverty especially the infant, children and senior citizens. Apart from this, there is this building administrating only on social development project, that emphasize of providing basic education to the children from the slump, basic health and the importance of everything the child should deserve. We as a staff are encourage to participate which im looking forward to.

Apart from TATA group, Forbes marhall is one of the company that operating its business philosophical in such a proud way. My company championing human right, employee right, women right etc.

FYI, In India, matter such as women right and human right is still far away from expectation. People at large are still ignorance of women's right.

Prearrange married and wide scales poverty everywhere and child labor and women exploittation still at large and kids are being deprived of basic needs of education. So my company intentionally set another department to overlook this issue. Enuff said.

Boring?? Sleepy already?? OK let's roll on coz there's more.

Last weekend was the most romantic one and was the best exciting one, and the best things is, this is just the beginning. My apartment was overcrowded with visitors from another part of town as well as newcomers, especially for the halloween party and slyvia's farewell.

There is Lucia from portugal, a bit weird, a girl from a small town Portugal, Laura lovely babe from Italy which our friendship grew stronger throught the weekend. She's one fine girl inside out, humble which I gonna miss now that she's gone back to her place (4 hours away), Marjolijn from The Netherlands, she looks like one of the participant in reality show and the much awaiting newcomer from turkey, the turkish girl!!!!!Her name is Gocke. She is bloody cool and gorgeous. She looks like penelope cruz from the movie "Blow" with Johnny Depp in it.

Look!!! I am not exaggeration I swear. Thats why I said I am suddenly in heaven.

Throughout the weekend, Laura and I spent quite a time. We stay up till ungodly hour in our most beautiful balcony, under a clear sky talking endlessly over hot tea and hashies. The best part was, she cooked me a "original" Italian spageti, with oliveoil and tomato, fried stlye. She's a real cook. She cooked breakfast for us and at night before halloween, Michal, kaske, Lucia, Marjolijn was enjoying helping her preparing and cooking pasta meals for a people of 25. Lots of works but it was fun.

It was so funny that our apartment was really running out of bed and visitors and even me have to sleep on the cough and some on the floor.

Halloween party was great, extremely great. Everybody was presence. The "dhoom machale" performance was fantastic. The halloween party was in this private pub call wunderbarrr!! and the party was sponsored by Kingfisher beers (beer) and RAW (the danceclub) and Coke. And is upon invitation only. I was amazed by how the publicity was handled and invited guest with gender control was emphasize so that it won't have a imbalance species ratio to another...

Laura and laura again....she's dance very well and I think I fall in love already but what a sadness, she got a boyfriend back in Italy but then again, you can never tell what future hold for you:). Hehe, for a pessimist I am quite a optimist.

I dressed up like a English football hooligan, with my chelsea football pant, The Beatles "fab four" shirt, dracula make up by laura, tattoo design on my face by my Indian friend, Deepak, who work for TATA consultant group. He's a macha.

Tonight my housemate Michal, the polish guy, Jos, the dutch guy who looks perfectly like to lead vocalist of the band Nickelback and Kaske, the funniest Japanese guy who seems to be the most likeable after Michal will leaved us for their trip to south India and will only be back 3 weeks after that, for their farewell. I inherited everything left by Michal including his gym training stuff and his tabla drum.

I am so happy to have new housemate, the Turkish girl!!

She drink but didn't smoke cigarette but marijuana and she's only 21. The michal's babyplant that nobody give a damn, she inspected it for a moment she saw it and she can tell everything about the marijuana plant from how to make it grow fast, male or female, best way to take care of it etc. She's expert because she grew her own plants in her bedroom.

Man...I really miss Laura:) I will pay a visit one of the weekend and in January to Buldana, to visit Marjolijn, Lucia and Nathan, a small village where conventional and outdated values such as prearrange married and gender segregation still widely practise.

Next week is Deepavali and is a big festival here. Company granted us public holidays from 11th to 14th. So Our trip to hampe, south india is now confirm!! We will be taking sleeper bus and on the way back, by train. The in-between journey, stay back for more. Oh...turkish girl is coming with me:)

Thats all, happy people, I am falling in love with india and right now i on the way to heaven:)

love and regards,

Peter
