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 [...]

Who would have thought that we could be famous just by crying our eyes out? American bloke Parker set up the site after 400,000 people watched clips of his missus sobbing on Youtube. A dog who smiles whenever his owner is around has become an Internet superstar, as apparently more than 300,000 people have [...]

Two weeks had past so quickly I woke up today in Perth already. It felt like it was only yesterday I was stuck in traffic jam in Jakarta, desperately wanting to pee, in a taxi that smells like feet, helplessly looking at my watch, worrying I would be late for my appointment.

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 in [...]

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 around friends [...]

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 wife of the new head of MI6, Britain’s secret intelligent agency, has caused a major security breach and left his family exposed after publishing photographs and personal details on Facebook (foreign office staff are warned about using social networking sites when they join but MI6 advises its agents to maintain even [...]

Two years a go, a few months after moving to Scotland, I sent text to my father who is also my doctor, complaining about the constant pain I had on my right thumb. I was wondering if I suffered from arthritis, and was asking for his suggestion what to do with it.
His reply came back [...]

A British teenager who took a drugs overdose has been saved after the American girl he was chatting to online raised the alarm.
The 16-year-old boy from Oxfordshire had sent her a message suggesting he intended to commit [...]

…Literally. I am deleted from someone’s friends list because apparently his wife was jealous at me. I also found another friend has deleted his own cheeky comments and his tag in several pictures because his wife has just joined facebook and might see our pictures grinning at Dragonfly and wouldn’t be happy about it. I [...]

For the past two weeks in our holiday I have got to running around from one place to another on daily basis. After going back from Siem Reap, we’ve had lunches and dinners appointments every single day I start making schedule so I wouldn’t forget which couple or people we are meeting today and tomorrow.
In [...]

I am due to be back in Indonesia by 24th of January. Which apparently not a perfect time to visit the country since God has problem with her bladder lately. Our place should be like a lake by now, and I prepare for the worst. In February 2007, I was stuck in Hong Kong for [...]

David Pollard’s shocked missus walked out on him in tears over the fling between his randy computer “self” and the other player’s busty two-dimensional hooker.

It’s been pretty quiet since London girls’ trip. The taste of purple martini at the Purple Bar still lingers (too expensive, that is. One glass cost me £17.00 (Rp 350,000). It’s good, but I find it hard to justify the price), and there’s a talk about repeating it in Dubai or Ascot. Maybe Ascot, I [...]
