  After such hectic days in Singapore and Surabaya, it’s a great chance to finally able to relax again and enjoy a breather prior to the second reception on Sunday. I’ve been staying at my fourth sister’s house which is located in an upmarket housing estate not far from where my parents and some of [...]

I woke up this morning to the sound of Christmas carols – I thought perhaps the occupant across the gangway was in a really festive mood. I only realised that it was the hotel’s pipe music all along when I stepped out to have my breakfast. Being a smallish hotel means that rooms aren’t that [...]

It’s seventeen minutes past midnight here in Surabaya so it’s Christmas day already. Merry Christmas! I’ve had my evening shower before I head to bed – my third one actually as I had one earlier as well. The last couple of days have been pretty busy – after I spent around five days in Bandung, [...]

  My journey back to Indonesia is truly on now. I’m standing here at the free Internet terminal at the Sydney International airport that is so painfully slow. Never mind – it’s free. I finally made it without any major issues, even though I had to leave the house still not as clean as I [...]

  ‘Tis also the season to be silly, so here are a list of Christmas cracker jokes that no doubt will elicit some groans or chuckles! Q: Where can you find literature about Santa’s assistants? A: The elf-help section Q: What is green and turns red at the push of a button? A: A frog [...]

  There’s a saying in Indonesia if somebody sees you looking flushed, they will say that you look like ‘a boiled crab’. Well, I had only checked what I looked like before I took my evening shower and the face staring back at me did look like a boiled crab. :O I don’t look as [...]

I’m listening to my ‘Emerald Christmas’ CD again because I love the mix that I put for the Christmas dinner at Sean’s old apartment in Emerald Garden, Singapore. The house is very quiet because my housemate is off to Melbourne to visit his prospective girlfriend, so I’m here all alone, enjoying my solitude. Some children [...]

It’s Christmas day here in Adelaide – birds are chirping outside on a warm morning. I’m playing my Oslo Domkirkes Guttekor Christmas CD at the moment, just to fill the air with some yuletide cheers. The CD made its way all the way from Norway earlier this month! Thank you, Hugo! I had my Christmas [...]

  Sunday morning is here again – a balmy day awaits. I haven’t seen the sun yet because it’s been a cloudy morning so far. I’ve finished my coffee – a little stronger than usual because I didn’t have enough milk. I’m enjoying the relaxing morning while listening to my Verve Remixed 4 CD – [...]

No, it’s not Christmas yet but I have finally sent my online Christmas card and my newsletter to my friends and families now through email and Facebook, as well as through the bulletin board that I go to frequently. Different to the previous years, I have also converted the Flash animation into a movie clip [...]
