Lost In Translation
I consider myself pretty good at English. I read newspapers, I devour novels, and I watch TV and movie, I speak and write quite well and make only small mistakes or have little trouble spelling difficult words. English is a language that I have conquered a long time a go. True, it took me several [...]

When The Reality Sinks In
We have been living in Perth for almost 6 months now. Aberdeen feels like a dream, far away from here, and I realise I say “back in UK…” less often than before. I actually think I’ve been settling in here better than in Aberdeen. Perth is so easy. The weather, the people, the food, the [...]

Where We Belong
When the idea of having a junior high school reunion was thrown into the discussion, I asked the self-appointed committee to set the date at least 3 months ahead so I (and others who now live out of town or country) would have time to plan the journey back. Alas, as normally Indonesians do, the [...]

Perth: Sunny Side Up!
Having read Ecky‘s post, I too have to reveal something that both mr.mck and I have found since the day we set our foot here in Perth. Everywhere we go, everybody who serves us, from the baker, the florist, the staffs at the shops and supermarkets, delivery people, guys at ticket box, the call centre [...]

A Football Fan? Not Quite
I used to be a football fan. Back when I was in primary school, I picked up football as something I would follow diligently on the news. I remember I watched Maradona‘s infamous “hand of God” live, I remember I collected Marco van Basten‘s pictures from the newspapers, and I remember I was a big [...]

Vaguebooking: A Cry for Attention
One of my morning rituals, among many, is checking out my friends’ Facebook status. For someone like me who has friends all over the world, Facebook gives a simple outlet to keep in touch with everybody without spending too much money for texting and SMS-ing, or wasting too much time in chatting (time difference makes [...]

Indonesia, Here I Come, Again
Since 2007, I’ve been back to Indonesia twice a year, and normally the holiday was fully spent with lunches, dinners or parties. This next week trip, however, would be slightly different. First, I get to attend a blogger friend’s wedding in the beautiful resort down in Jimbaran, Bali. And second, I’m attending a high school [...]

First Winter in Perth
When we arrived in Perth last November it was officially still spring, but since we came from Scotland we thought the weather was going to be a very mild, and the temperature was probably warmer than Aberdeen in summer, so I only packed one – yes, one! – cardigan, for wearing it during the night [...]

7 Links Challenge
Problogger’s 7 Link Challenge is an interesting idea, which main goal is to create a list post that highlights some of the posts in our archives to new readers that links out to another blog. So although it’s a wee bit too late, I’d still like to get involved and here is what I have [...]

Is Blogging Dead?
I looked at this extensive list of blogs on my blogroll and felt pretty sad. Most of bloggers I have on the list haven’t published a new post for at least a month, some have gone hiatus for a year, some have turned themselves into foodie bloggers or photobloggers (which means more pictures than words [...]

Campaign Launched in UK to Improve The Image of Islam
I can’t be entirely sure but I remember that I took a part in the survey about the image of Islam in UK last year. There are tens of questions I had to answer and I was surprised to find out that even I have a negative image about Islam myself, both in UK and [...]
A Quick Update About This Blog
With the help of an amazing lady, I have moved the hosting of this blog last week. There has been some hiccups still, but hopefully everything can be sorted out very soon. At the moment I’ve been busy choosing the new layout, and I’m getting a new logo. A total makeover, that is! So I’m [...]
All We Need Is Just A Little Patience
This blog is currently under major maintenance. You wouldn’t see anything different on the surface while I am busy doing the work behind the door, but should you find a missing post or picture, I apologise in advance. Hopefully all will be finished in a few days.
After 5 Years of Blogging…
I hardly look back and re-read my posts. But since I’m planning to move from my current hosting provider – and I have to do it by myself, I decided to back all my posts up into my computer. Then before I knew it, I started reading every single post. Surprisingly, I found the experience [...]
