The End of An Era (?)

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

Cazbar is celebrating its anniversary, and I am proud to announce to the world, that the bar, which name was formed during a weekend away at one of the shareholders’ house through some quiz (the one who came up with the name that would be used for the bar will get free beer and {updated [...]

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 [...]

Before Hiatus

I‘ve got to say that it has been a busy week for me. I had a promising lunch meeting to discuss the future of Indonesian Expatriates Forum last Friday at Cazbar. Tamara and Greg turned up after 5 and we had few drinks before decided to try our luck at Loewy.

Let's Get This Party Started

Bigger is better. More glamorous is better. More people to attend is better. Longer train, heavier make-up, and higher hair, are better. The more expensive is better. The more famous people, from caterer, hairstylist, until the list of guests, are definitely better. Anything that screams ‘I’m rich, I’m fabulous‘, is typical Indonesian wedding. Even though [...]

Frustrating

A combination of a scheduler who pays a great attention to details and a natural worrier would be the worst. It’s me. Me. Me. I am such a pain in the butt to those who think that birds are chirping and the world is smiling and everything is perfect even though your life is not [...]

Céilidh

I went to my first céilidh (pronounced kay-lee) in Aberdeen last December at The Marcliffe Hotel (which, to me personally, was a disaster, since I wore a long ball gown that sweeps the floor, very glamorous for waltz but not suitable for Scottish dance which involves lots of bounces and skips and takes so much [...]

Burns Supper

We’re back in Aberdeen after 6-week holiday in Indonesia and Vietnam. The prospect of going back to cold, gray, wet weather wasn’t really appealing; especially when we were transiting in Amsterdam and seeing outside the window of Schiphol Airport. But surprise, surprise, last weekend wasn’t actually that bad. The sun was shining, the sky was [...]

RSVP

RSVP: “Répondez s’il-vous-plaît” or “Réservez s’il-vous-plaît”, a French phrase that translates to “Please respond” or “Please book your place”. “Response Shall Verify Presence” is an English substitute for the meaning of “R.S.V.P.” What would you do if you hold the biggest party in your life and the people you invite haven’t RSVP-ed, and it’s already [...]

Etiquette

Etiquette, one aspect of decorum, is a code that governs the expectations of social behavior, according to the conventional norm within a society, social class, or group. Usually unwritten, it may be codified in written form. Modern etiquette instructs people to greet friends and acquaintances with warmth and respect, refrain from insults and prying curiosity, [...]
