Bloggers' "Land Coffee": Join Us?

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 [...]

I'm Back!!

I’m back, baby!! After being suspended by my hosting provider for exceeding the bandwith quota, I finally have given up and upgraded my account. They said it’s my fault for having up to 500 visitors and high traffic every day. Yeah and thanks to them for banning me, I might have lost them all. But [...]

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 [...]

Speechless

Less than two weeks and I’m off to London for girl’s weekend trip. This would be an interesting meet-up because I only know Nikki who’s originally from here but now resides in Assen, and will be meeting others from Assen and one from Oman! So we could call it an international girl’s trip with jam-packed [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

Me and Them; A(n Almost) Lesbian Love Story

Note: I realize that some of my readers, especially my aunt-in-law Alison and her colleague(s), as well as several other friends who read my blog every time I post something new, would be surprised to read the title and wonder what this is all about. But please continue, you would find out the reason behind [...]

Blast From the Past

Social networking websites certainly are on the top of the game, everybody is hooked up and cannot live without it. There has been discussion in many industries about how they could tap into this new trend and get benefits out of it. It is so powerful that HSBC had to cancel their plans to scrap [...]

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, [...]

Hang out with Fellow Indonesians

Why do we tend to hang out with other Indonesians, and in most of the cases, with only Indonesians, while we’re abroad? I didn’t spend a long time overseas. I was only in Sydney for 2 years doing my master’s degree and grabbing some work experience before heading back to Indonesia. But those 2 years, [...]
