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 [...]
Australian Skilled Visa Crackdown
Ten years a go when I was considering whether I should stay permanently in Australia and make a life here, I was shocked to find that my Australian master’s degree was valued less than a hairdressing certificate. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think being a hairdresser is less important than being a construction manager. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Indonesia In The News
It’s pretty rare to see the country of Indonesia mentioned in the news and is not associated with jihad, terrorist, political turmoil, or tsunami, so I’m rather surprised to see it in several international newspapers and even (hold your breath), E! news. However though, the news are still not as delightful as I want them [...]
It’s Not Shallow if I Only Like Beautiful People
Or that is the sort of argument presented by members of Beautifulpeople.com, a dating site which, as The Times stated, “was founded in 2002 in Denmark, to bring together the country’s attractive people — and presumably produce some beautiful Scandinavian babies. Late last year it expanded worldwide, and has grown to 500,000 members — 40,000 [...]
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 [...]
Who Would Have Sex With Anyone for £1million or World Cup Tickets?
Apparently, a third of British population! Durex British Sex Survey 2010, which gathered 12,000 respondents, has revealed some interesting facts about Britons’ bedroom activities. For example, according to the tabloid The Sun, the average Brit now has sex three to four times a week and has slept with between two and five people. A promiscuous [...]
7 Things I Notice About Perthians
Moving to another English speaking country, which basically is an almost exact copy of United Kingdom, shouldn’t be too shocking for mr.mck and I. Especially since I have lived in Australia before, and mr.mck has had visited the country for many times in his life. Driving is an obvious example. Australians drive on the left [...]
On Old Friends in Facebook
Budi Putra posted a very interesting fact about Facebook: as of March 2010, Indonesia is at the top rank of Facebook users in Asia. With 18.9 million users, Indonesia is well ahead of the number two, Philippines (10.5 million), and number three, India (6.8 million). I am not surprised. Indonesia might pick up the trend [...]
