August newsletter

Hi, if you’re wondering how I’m doing, I’m doing just fine in this third world country. Commuting four hours on the road to and from work, learning different kinds of loans, grocery shopping in the wet market, beginning to cook regularly, spending my salary on shoes and saloon, always looking forward to weekends because weekdays are so exhausting, are what I have been up to. ...

July first on a Friday

I’m only excited because it’s weekend. I’m only motivated because of this sms: ‘Selamat pagi,Irma sayang Papa.selamat bekerja ,semoga senang ,semangat,dan gembira selalu.’ I’m only looking forward because I’m getting new shoes.

Oh Indonesians, sometimes I don't understand us

Instead of congratulating me for my recent marriage, people ask questions such as: How was the first night! Or give comments like: OOHHH you walk differently now *wink*. Is this a joke? Because I don’t find it funny.

Counting down days and hours is not a new thing for me. I used to count down to when I’m going to see my Benny Hutagalung. For almost two years I counted down 14 days, 7 days, 3 days, tomorrow, 12 hours, 1 more hour, a few more minutes… I can never forget the excitement of waiting at the arrival hall of Changi Airport. And I can never forget the sorrow at the departure hall…...

I was asked a few necessary questions to apply for membership. The lady asked: Are you married or not? Two seconds later I said: Um I’m getting married this Saturday. The lady replied: Well, you’re not then.

Hanging out with gaul people

1. They use the words njing (dog), nyet (monkey), tai (shit) in as many sentences as possible. 2. They love drama. —>Very very unnecessary, especially because a lot of people are starving and jobless. 3. The use of ‘aku’ (I) and ‘kamu’ (you) to a friend of the opposite gender is unacceptable because that means you and him/her are having a little something...

The signs

1. Disney channel puzzle in a random restaurant, just like the one at home 2. Car number 1760, reminding me of the bus no 176 to go home 3. Somebody’s bag in the elevator, exactly like the bag I used to carry to school The signs have spoken. I have made my decision.

What's up Jakarta! What's up!

(Title was inspired by my dahling Alana’s facebook status on Atlanta) Right now, I’m in Jakarta for money. Wait no, I mean for experience. So I guess if people ask where I live now, the answer would be Jakarta. However. You should know that I hate that answer, so you should not ask me that question.

I got the license to wed

I really should be happy right now. Yay?

Let it snow let it snow let it snow

Changi, 30 November 2010

Hi! This isn’t a goodbye note, but I’m leaving. I’m leaving to a place where I once promised myself to never ever ever live there, ever. But I’m still leaving.. This isn’t a goodbye note because I want to come back. I will be back. Save a space for me. See you again soon.

Ranking 1

There is this TV show in Indonesia called ‘Ranking 1’ where there are like 50 participants or something and they are asked questions ranging from general knowledge to specific subjects like science or something. Once they get the answers wrong, out they go. So anyway, when it was finally down to two high school students, the question was: “What is the capital city of...

December is the season

I notice that there are so many birthdays in September (thanks to facebook for keeping me updated on birthdays). Then I wonder why, so I count nine months back coz maybe it’ll give me a clue or something on why this is so. Ok. So nine months before September is December. Ah. It’s the festive month and the year is ending. So I guess people are just…happy?
