You’ve Done Us Proud!

I can’t believe that I’m actually writing about football here. Not what I think about football like my previous posts (see Every Little Thing He Does Is Magic). Not tips for guys how to make peace with their partner when they want to watch football. But really, I’m talking about the biggest game happened in [...]

I Love Scotland

Note: I must say that this story is written because I feel guilty that I have written many things about Scotland which seem more like complains, especially about the weather. Weather is not that bad, if we know how to handle it (which puts me in the category of ‘virgin’ since I have no clue. [...]

Embracing The Wild Weather

I‘ve visited Aberdeen a couple of times before permanently move here. But we’ve always visited the city between September and October, so I didn’t really feel the cold weather. The coldest temperature I had experienced was 9?C, but that was 6.00 AM in the morning and I had it for a few seconds from the [...]

Confusing Weather (2)

Note: I must say here that I am forced to write something good about Scottish weather. Mr.mck and GG are deeply concerned that I have sent the incorrect message across the nation that the sun forget to shine in Scotland and the weather is entirely, continuously dreadful. But to me, the virgin of weather-changing-climate, the [...]

These Pumps Are NOT Made For Walkin'

Tips: read this while watching or listening to the Nancy Sinatra’s These Boots Are Made for Walkin’ cover version, where Jessica Simpson is strutting around with sexy red boots…. In my attempt to conquer the granite city (a.k.a Aberdeen), I decided that last Thursday was a perfect day to walk around the city. Now, as [...]

Like Father Like Daughter

The photographer had sent 60 photos to me the other day, all must be reviewed and approved before they print them all and compile them in 3 albums. My fiance approves all 60 without any questions. I approve only 5 of them and send the rest of 55 pieces to the photographer with comments here [...]

Leaving on A Jet Plane (2)

I think I should write this now before it’s too close to my departure. I know when the time comes I will be too emotional, and I hate showing tears in public. I’m known to be feisty and distant, while secretly I’m helplessly sappy. Living in Scotland would not be a problem at all to [...]

Leaving on A Jet Plane

I’m leaving. 35 days from now, I will be sipping cappuccino in Starbucks, but thousand miles away from here. The coffee will taste the same, but everything else won’t. I’m leaving. 35 days from now, I will be typing my blog in an apartment, but thousand miles away from here. I will type the same [...]

Where Is Scotland? (modified)

Everywhere I go, when asked where I come from and I say Indonesia, I usually get another question: “Indonesia? Where is it?”. Doesn’t matter that we are one of the largest countries in the world, we have almost 14,000 islands and almost 400 languages, that we have the second biggest rain forest in the world [...]
