Spouses’ Privacy Setting
At that particular beautiful morning, I was sipping coffee and going through the newsfeed on my facebook. Luckily I didn’t spill my coffee after reading a friend’s and her husband’s statuses. They just celebrated their anniversary, and felt it was necessary to share it to the world. I don’t mind all that, because overshare and [...]
I Forgot How To Write!
Is it possible? Maybe. Normally it takes a few hours for me to finish, edit, add photos, and publish a blog post. This time, I’ve been staring at it for the past two days, and it’s still far from finish. I would type several words, then my mind would wander around, then I check my [...]
Back!
I blame it on twitter, really. Well, twitter and the fact that I’ve had visitors coming and going since August. Twitter has made the ideas in my head easily spilled without having to sit down, think it through, and do some research before posting it. With 140 characters every post, it is so much easier [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
