An Indonesian stranded in Aberdeen and has to deal with Scottish people, accent, weather (most of the time), food, and football. Then she looks at Indonesia from 12,000 km away. It's a culture shock!

The Long And Winding Working Hours 2008-06-27 02:51:40 I have quit my job and left Indonesia a year ago, but still receive job offers from time to time, although no one dares to relocate me back to Jakarta as en expat (*wink). But when I was visiting my ex boss in his fancy office after having dinner with my ex-colleagues, seeing the whole department was still complete and on full force even after 9PM (and received a request if I could help them out s Read more:Winding

I'm Not An Indonesian, Not Yet A Scottish Lady 2008-06-24 15:05:22 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 Cazbar yesterday. I thought I would be motivated to write something once I sat down on its wooden chair, h Read more:Indonesian

Me and Them; A(n Almost) Lesbian Love Story 2008-07-13 01:07:51 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 it. Or not.Inspired by Rima and Therry's posts about how some people just click and become Read more:Almost
Let's Get This Party Started 2008-07-07 20:06:04 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 the bride might look like Krisdayanti rath Read more:Party
When Things Gone Sour 2008-07-03 23:14:30 This particular woman drove me mad almost two years ago. Her twisted mind and even more twisted words were really upsetting, and I had to remind myself that she is married to someone I care about, to calm myself down. That argument is never settled. I kept insisting that she was involved in a matter that was totally unrelated to her and she didn't show a respect to me and my family. I told her to
Before Hiatus 2008-07-28 10:51:42 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.Now, I had try to arrange a meet-up at Loewy but every time I was told that we must book the table at least two weeks in advance, a strange c Read more:Hiatus
Wrong! It's Hard To Say I'm Sorry 2008-07-21 12:10:47 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 went around in the virtual world trying to find some answers. And I guess I did.We all have a hard tim Read more:Wrong
Yesteryear Revisit (Age That I Wish To Get Back To) 2008-07-18 22:22:29 I once tagged about this by Fida, asking what age I wish to get back to, and I have briefly mentioned about it in this post because at that moment people from the past suddenly reappeared in my life at the same time, a long overdue project was back in full speed, and of course, Indy was back after 19 years hiatus.But then Woelank and Ecky also tagged me recently, and this time, I let myself think Read more:Yesteryear
Belated Apology from The Ass-Pincher 2008-07-17 06:29:13 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, the usual suspects. Some I didn't recognise, and I guessed they were either party crashers or Hui Read more:Apology
Modest Indonesians? 2008-08-10 13:52:43 A lot of things happened since my last thread. Most of them are too taboo or too kinky to be revealed in this such public place so if you are still interested you might send me an email asking what had happened, and I might answer your questions. Perhaps you might find some answers in my Facebook account, though I can't guarantee 100%... Anyway, after being back in Indonesia, I have noticed a thin Read more:Modest
