Missing Scotland
Maybe because it’s summer, sunny and hot and it’s Christmas and there’s supposed to be cold and snow. Certainly because Walker’s shortbreads are sold everywhere but I know nothing compares to granny mck’s homemade ones: straight from the oven full of real butter, and made by love. Or maybe I am just still in culture [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
The End of Indonesian Language (?)
I am delighted that lately I have been collecting college friends in Facebook. Everyday each one pops up and says hi. While some of them I recognize immediately as they were in my assignment or student body groups, I need more time on others as we weren’t that close in uni (excuse me, my class [...]

On Cards
A friend and I were talking about how much we spent just for the Christmas cards and the postal charges. She finally had to make some smart move by sending one card for everybody in the office back in Holland, because there are too many people on her list, and that means she could have [...]
The End of An Era (?)
It’s official. Bugils Jakarta (I can never know the right spell. Is it Bugil’s or Bugils? BuGils or BuGil’s?) will hold their very last party in December 13th. We have heard the rumour about Bugils closing down forever, but this time it is for real. It should be official, because the bar throws the countdown [...]
Another Reason To Drink and Be Merry

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 [...]
Here and There
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 [...]
