My Gado Gado Diary

Hola ! Is my title confuse you? 😆😆 So, few weeks ago I saw news that Coldplay is gonna have a concert at Singapore on April 2017! As a Coldplay fans, I was so excited and already thinking and planning want to watch the concert. The last time Coldplay came to Singapore was at 2009. And during that time I didn't have money to come Singapore as I just graduated from my uni.*sob* This time, I have money and alto Coldplay made some more concert at some South East Asia country such as at Phillipines and Thailand, I still think Singapore was a better option because its near KL and I was familiar with the country. So that's it! I told my husband I wanted to watch the concert and I forced him to accompany me, lol. And I asked my best friend at Singapore to watch together since she's a Coldplay fans also. And she agreed! On the day of the ticket sales, I was on holiday at Indonesia. I already asked my friend who stay at Singapore help me buy the ticket on time (I had a feelin...

Hola! I would like to share some info regarding how to cancel Employment Pass (EP) and apply for special pass in Malaysia. All based on MY experience recently (October 2016). So, as I told on previous blog, I was waiting my Long Term Social Visit Pass (LTSVP) to be done. And at that time, I'm holding EP. And my EP expired 14th October 2016, while my LTSVP will only be done at 19th October 2016. During the period 14 to 19 October, if I didn't apply for special visa, I will be illegally stay at Malaysia. I finish work 30th September 2016 and my EP expired 14th October 2016. So my company decided they won't give special pass to me and said starting 1st October 2016, my company no longer paid me but I can still stay here till my EP expired 14th October 2016 (in a way, they give this  as their "special visa") 😓😓😑😑 Here are the steps : 1) Ask your company to issue SPC form (tax clearence form) * This suppose to be done by EMPLOYER. You can see the picture ...

H ola !  I've been trying to apply for Long Term Social Visit Pass (LTSVP) last Tuesday and end up failed, LOL.

Because now, I still haven't finish applying the LTSVP, so I better save the story for next time. Wish me luck! x

Hi, I've been away for so long.  Many things happened during the past months. My mother in law just passed away (blessed her), so me and my husband family have been very busy doing funeral for her.   And latest update about myself, I finally quit my job! Been wanting to quit my job since long time ago and finally after a year working, I decided not to renew my contract due to many things.  I won't talk so much and so details, just to share somethings that my company made me very unhappy.  -1st things : My company didn't know how to handle foreigner staff. The very basic things, my company never inform me that I'll get 26% deduction of my salary. The 1st time I met the HR, she just said "oh deduction just 6% per year." Can you imagine my feeling when I already sign the contract, and half month join the company and the HR manager inform me and my another Indonesian colleagues that I'll get 26% deduction for tax for 9 bloody months?! (because I join on...

Its been a super hectic month to me!  Wanted to update my blog since last month, but so many things happen and I was super super busy ever since. x__x I guess I can't promise myself to update blog every month. x__x Btw, my employment pass going to expire next month September 2016 (and I decided not to renew it either). FYI, although I already married to my Malaysian husband, but I'm holding Employment Pass. So I get job at Malaysia first, then I only married to my Malaysian husband. If by next month I haven't get new job (to sponsor my Employment Pass), I'm going to apply for Long Term Social Visit Pass (LTSVP) with my husband as my sponsor. Saw from blogs on internet, to apply LTSVP seems like soooo complicated. Hope when it'll be my turn, everything will be going smooth (AMEN!!!). Gonna update about everything if I'm going to apply for LTSVP.  Wish me luck!! x

Hola! I just collect my new passport at Indonesian embassy. The process of collecting is very fast and smooth. I just spent 15 minutes to get my new passport! *still couldn't believe after th e hassle on renew ing passport 😂😂 *  So I came to embassy around 2.15 PM, and the counter haven't open yet 😓😑 After that, the officer came and start to ask people that have red color collecting number to queue at counter 29 (mine was yellow color). My passport was suppose to be ready at 1st July 2016, but I need to work that day and I decided to come today instead. Anyway, got this lady also same case like me (suppose to came last month to collect), and the officer told us wait (no further explanation). So I went to sit and just waiting.  Then after that the officer made announcement again to inform that whoever have yellow color collecting number to start queue at counter 29. So I just follow the queue. And when my turn came, I inform him that my collection should be on 1st ...

H ola !  Finally, I finished d oing passport renewal at Indonesian Embassy KL. So tiring. I now then just finished and rest awhile. Really want to share my experience this morning. Note : Its going to be a LONG story. Actually my passport still expired May 2017 but I decided to renew it now because of few things. My Indonesian friend who just renew her passport last month (May 2016) said need almost 1 month to renew her passport.  So the 1st time she came just to submit document and then they will give number and around next 2 weeks she need to come again to take photo taking. Then the next week, she need to come again to take her new passport. I n total she need to come 3x. So troublesome! Short story, to prevent all the trouble to renew passport,  I decide to renew now. T his morning I went to Indonesian embassy to renew my passport. Remember, the embassy location indeed in the central of KL however no public transportation to reach there. You need to use pri...
