On Pornography Laws
The new fireplace was just installed and I’ve been playing with the fire since. The flame is bright orange inside the stainless steel frame, makes the room warm and cozy. It’s wild outside, the trees are dancing and the leaves are struggling to glue themselves to the branches. It is only 13 degrees but everybody [...]
We are Fasting. So?
Every year in Indonesia, we see something unique during the Islamic holy month, Ramadan, for about 30 days. It is the month of fasting, in which participating Muslims do not eat or drink anything from dawn until sunset, and must avoid obscene and irreligious sights, sounds, and evil thoughts. In order to complete this task, [...]
Modest Indonesians?
A lot of things happened since my last thread. Most of them are too taboo or too kinky to be revealed in this such public place so if you are still interested you might send me an email asking what had happened, and I might answer your questions. Perhaps you might find some answers in [...]
Before Hiatus
I‘ve got to say that it has been a busy week for me. I had a promising lunch meeting to discuss the future of Indonesian Expatriates Forum last Friday at Cazbar. Tamara and Greg turned up after 5 and we had few drinks before decided to try our luck at Loewy.
Wrong! It's Hard To Say I'm Sorry
Why is it difficult for some people to admit they are wrong, let alone apologise, even though they know they are wrong, or proven wrong? In my attempt of trying to understand this particular person who has caused a major headache for the past two days, because I couldn’t put myself in her shoes, I [...]
Let's Get This Party Started
Bigger is better. More glamorous is better. More people to attend is better. Longer train, heavier make-up, and higher hair, are better. The more expensive is better. The more famous people, from caterer, hairstylist, until the list of guests, are definitely better. Anything that screams ‘I’m rich, I’m fabulous‘, is typical Indonesian wedding. Even though [...]
The Long And Winding Working Hours
I have quit my job and left Indonesia a year ago, but still receive job offers from time to time, although no one dares to relocate me back to Jakarta as en expat (*wink). But when I was visiting my ex boss in his fancy office after having dinner with my ex-colleagues, seeing the whole [...]
I'm Not An Indonesian, Not Yet A Scottish Lady
I think the combination of being in a holiday mood, having too many things to do/people to meet/parties to attend, and having crap internet connection at home, makes me abandoning my blog. It has been over a week and I haven’t been bothered to update it. So I arranged to meet up with Therry at [...]
Certain Friendships Don't Last Forever (2)
Sometimes when you’re sleep deprived, you start imagining things and seeing stars before your eyes. That’s what I thought the first time I saw them. On the way back to Indonesia I stopped over in Singapore to see my best friend from high school, who’s heavily pregnant and ready to explode any day now. I [...]
I Love Indonesia, but…
Update: The below article is highlighted in Bugils Newsletter, and in attempt to make it more worth to read – since I wrote it in 10 minutes during Manchester United vs. Chelsea game (in between red wine & chips) – and to look smarter (ha, who am I kidding!), I fixed it a little bit. [...]
