Looking Into The Future (Part Two)
Read part one here. I found a website, conveniently called Coffee Cup Readings Online, that explains how the coffee reading process takes in detail: 1. Simply drink your coffee in white china with no inside pattern or decoration. It can be any sort of coffee as long as it leaves sediment after drinking. Shapes and [...]
Looking Into The Future (Part One)
Fortune-telling, the practice of predicting information about a person’s life, isn’t something I’m generally interested in. I grew up in the environment that has shaped me to usually rely on facts, tangible things, and physical existence. Which is quite uncommon for Indonesians, who normally believe in mystics, superstition, and supernatural powers. But just like everyone [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
A Weird Indonesian
You must have known how many times I complain about Indonesia or Indonesian. And I thought I couldn’t find any other thing worth to talk about as I feel I’ve covered all. Until a couple of weeks a go. This particular Indonesian lady, who was gracefully featured in my old post “I Love Indonesia, But…” [...]
I'm Bringing My Sexy Heels Back
The first time I landed in Scotland I realised that I had no closed-toes shoes at all, except several pair of boots. All my shoes had at least 5 cm heels or higher, and all were open toes models, a.k.a sandals, because I come from a tropical country which doesn’t require me to protect my [...]
Facebook Has Taken My Friends Away…
…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 [...]
Net A Bargain
Natalie Massenet, the woman behind net-a-porter.com, is about to lunch a designer “outlet” website that will stock top brands with up to 80 per cent off. clipped from www.vogue.co.uk Massenet is currently putting the finishing touches to THEOUTNET.COM, which will buy in ready-to-wear clothes (by the likes of Christian Louboutin, Marc Jacobs and Stella McCartney) [...]
Let's Talk About Breasts… Again
Following Tree and my late night chat we came up with boobs post which inspired Tree to tag others (see Tree’s extensive list of ‘infected bloggers’ here) as part of his world domination plan. Those who were tagged cannot help but post something about boobs. Those who weren’t tagged silently took part anyway – too [...]
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 [...]
