Hello From Down Under (3) – G'day!
Last Friday was the day of that marked our 2-week settlement in Perth. But we are still in the adjustment phase, where we compare everything here with what we used to have back home. From what I’ve learned in my settlement course 2 years a go when I moved to Scotland, normally the first phase [...]
Spring Cleaning
Spring cleaning: thorough cleaning, especially of a residence when winter is over. The first time I heard spring cleaning term was when I was working back in Indonesia. Every time we were ready to move a company to their new office space, the removals or movers would come to identify each staff’s items, pack them [...]
Hello From Down Under (2) – The First Shocking Moments
Shocked after landed in Perth under its glorious sunshine at 5 o’clock in the afternoon, I quickly reminded myself that we are no longer in Aberdeen, where it gets dark before 4 PM, where it is cold, windy, and wet all day. We were discussing the best option to get into our temporary apartment (Emirates [...]
Hello From Down Under (1) – The Journey
The confirmation finally came when I was still enjoying my holiday in Indonesia. Yes, we’re moving to Perth, Australia (not Perth, near Glasgow!). The date was finally agreed. Yes, it’s 26 November. Lots of emails went back and forth about how we get there (they sent us a booking with Qantas, I wholeheartedly refused – [...]
New Home… Almost
The date is set, the flight is booked. We officially have only less than 1 month in Aberdeen. By end of this month we will start our new journey in Australia. The movers will come to pack everything away a few days before departure, and the list of what we can bring and how we [...]
Surprises & Secrets
I had planned my trip to Indonesia oh-so “quietly” I only told some people that I was coming. The mission: to surprise my mom who thought that she is not going to see me until next year or after I move to Perth, and to surprise R & E who are dear friends and were [...]
An Overdue Update
Yes, it has been 19 days since my last posting, but I wouldn’t bore you with excuses. Instead, here is some stuff I could share by now: Moving – again! This is the first time I officially confirm that mr.mck and I are going to move down under. The news, of course, has been circulated [...]
What People Do Behind Closed Doors With Google Search
Have you googled your own name? Or your ex? Do you feel that you are a weirdo by doing that? Well think again. Apparently people have too much time on their hands – either that or too much imagination – and rely a lot on Holy Google to answer their dilemmas. The Telegraph has featured [...]
What Makes You An Indonesian?
Somebody posted intriguing threads on twitter on the other day. I wasn’t sure what subject that triggered her posting, but she was ranting about Indonesians living overseas who pretend to know more about Indonesia [compares to those who are inside the country], who only like to criticise but do not help. She surprised me when [...]
Lockerbie Bomber Released
Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi from Libya was jailed for murdering 270 people after Pan Am flight 103 exploded 31,000ft over Lockerbie (a Scottish border town), 38 minutes after take-off from London en route to New York in 1988. He is found guilty of murder after the historic trial under Scottish law in the Netherlands in 2001 [...]
