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 [...]
Hot Shop In The City
Two months a go, when I was enjoying my (another) holiday, I bumped into Bart in Cazbar at lunch time. The last time I saw him was probably in our wedding, as he had relocated to Bali and we moved to Scotland, so it was a nice surprise to see him again. He told me [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Scottish vs. Malaysian Myths
I read in disbelief when Catherine Brown, the food write, revealed her discovery that haggis, a very unique Scottish dish, in fact, appeared first in an English cookbook 171 years before Robert Burns even mentioned it. I was still in shocked when Allan Brown in his article “History Behind Scottish Myths”, on Sunday, August 9th, [...]
Indonesia Unite… For What?
Within hours after two hotels in the heart of Jakarta were shattered by bombs, there has been a big development in Indonesian blogosphere, or should I say twitterworld. clipped from www.budiputra.com Started from Friday afternoon, the Indonesian Twitter users put their new red and white avatars (red and white represents the national flag)–while some avatars [...]
Bomb Blasts in Jakarta, Indonesia, From UK Media Perspective
Yesterday was a quite important day for me. As part of my permanent residency process in the UK, I have to take (and pass) the test called “Life in The UK”. To be able to pass this test I need to answer 75% questions correctly, or 18 out 24. I have spent almost two weeks [...]
Bizarre Virtual Attack
I have encountered a bizarre moment this week. Suddenly someone I barely know cowardly sent a private message to friends of mine, saying how embarrassed she would be if she doesn’t work and yet keep spending her husband’s money. A friend alerted me and pointed the fact I posted a good news a mere minutes [...]
How Well Do You Know Your Family?
Following my previous post about how facebook has taken my friends away, I also have to mention that this particular social network has helped me to connect with long lost relatives. I am not really good at keeping in touch with my cousins, second cousins, and so-called aunties and uncles. I mostly know the immediate [...]
Orang Jakarta…
Jakarta, just like any other capital cities in the world, seems to offer prosperity, success, and fame. Its skyscrapers with glittering lights and gigantic billboards parading beautiful people are the symbol of dreams and hopes for many people. The city is glamorous, bright and bold; although it also can be unforgiving, deceptive, materialistic, and unoriginal. [...]
