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 [...]
What A Difference A Nationality Made? (4)
I should have declared The Netherlands embassy my sworn enemy as I have never had any luck with them whatsoever. Last year I applied for a Schengen visa because mr.mck was going for a training and I decided to join him, and it took the consular here in Aberdeen 2 weeks to proceed the visa. [...]

Belated Apology from The Ass-Pincher
About four years a go, Stuart and Huib celebrated their joined birthday by throwing a BBQ party at Bugil’s bar. I think it was either Saturday or Sunday afternoon, and there were about 50 people turned up to stuff their faces with sausages, burgers and beers. Most of them were people we hung out with, [...]
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 [...]
One More Beer, Please
Apparently the sentence above is really important and must be translated into 50 languages. Forget how to say please and thank you, don’t bother to learn to ask for a direction in a local lingo, as long as you can ask for one more beer in a strange place, you’d be fine, and you’d charm [...]
Spoiled Local-Expatriates
The Writer just wrote about spoiled expatriates, “those who come from developed country and get a job in developing country and live like a king/queen“. With salary which is unbelievably higher than a local standard – mostly due to ridiculous exchange rates and tax regulations – and lots of allowances, they soon embrace a lavish [...]
Without Prejudice
For the past two days I attended a settlement course in a very gorgeous hotel. It’s rather late, considering I have been here since last June and know most of the absolute essentials, but it’s still worth to attend, and I got to see new people and had free lunches, yay! The course is done [...]
Friends Abroad
Last night I found out that Bugilsnews displays Indonesian Expatriates Forum (IEF) link and its widget on their site. With a few thousands of subscribers (I was told they had 10,000 readers a couple of years a go and it was when Bugils Group hasn’t been crazily expanding – to how many bars now, five, [...]
Table Manners – Eating Without Prejudice (?)
In Indonesia, when we go to restaurants, there are no other ways to grab waiter’s attention but calling {this can go from mbak (sister) or ibu (ma’am), to unnecessary flirtatious remarks like sayang (darling) or cantik (gorgeous)}, waving (hand or napkin), or – these are extremely rude manners – whistling, clapping and flicking your fingers.
