Pindah Lagi. Pindah Lagi. Yupp It'll make it the 4th time within 13 months. I feel like an artist on his concert tour. Only that it isn't intercity but an inter-. Tour Kebayoran Baru - Kebayoran Lama, back and forth. But I've been anticipating this move. That's why I left most of my belongings in the boxes from my previous move barely two months ago. Belum pun hilang rasa penat. dah kena pindah lagi. Well actually, to be honest, I thought I'd be asked to return to HQ. I can now plan my 3rd trip to Bali!

I felt a sudden longing to be back in Kuala Kangsar. Tok's home. Kuala Kangsar is a small town where my mother was born. Her father (my beloved Tok) migrated there from Bukit Tinggi in the early 1920's (yes, I have Sumateran blood running through my veins). As far as I could remember, we would always celebrate Hari Raya at Tok's house in Kuala Kangsar. Not until quite recently, Pekan (my father's. Had never been the other alternative. It was either Kuala Kangsar or Kuala Lumpur. Never Pekan. Farther back...

After attending Mass at a nearby church, we decided to hike over to Seribu Rasa. For lunch. It was a bit of a walk to get there and coupled with the midday heat, it felt like forever. But the meal we had was well worth the effort. Lamb Honey Sauce (IDR 97,000). Fried baby lamb ribs sautéed in special spices and honey sauce. Meat was very tender and the sauce had just the right amount of sweetness. Garlic Poiling (IDR 55,000). Chinese spinach sautéed with garlic. Es Campur Seribu Rasa (IDR 43,000). 2 We h...

A first-time expectant mother, has tagged me. 1 Apa perasaan anda sekarang? Panas The building's central air-cond broke down since Friday. 2 Saya nak makan. Sate Kajang, yong tau foo Kpg. Pandan and ayam masak kuzi. 3 Saya tak suka. At this precise moment - the building manager! Sebab dia janji the air-cond would be up and running again by Monday. Satu penipuan! To retire in Bali. 5 Haiwan yang saya tidak suka. Semua haiwan saya suka. Yang saya tak suka, manusia berperangai haiwan. 11 Saya suka pada.

Almost a month with no updates. As usual, I'm using the all too familiar excuse - busy and hectic schedule. But, this time, it is true in every sense of the words. My boss has gone back to Malaysia for good. My ever trusted assistant has left the company. I had to adjust to doing everything at the office all by myself, except for operational field works. The adapting phase is over - hence the time to write this posting. Java Jazz 2009 - Brilliant! He, shall remain anonymous because . errr. Gave a call at...

I spend the whole Sunday packing. The third time this year. I'm getting so good at it that I am considering a business in packing. Once the boxes reach my new temporary residence, I don't think I will unpack them. Except for those which are really necessary, the rest will remain untouched. This is in anticipation of another move come February or March next year. See, my life revolves around moving from one place to another. I'm a nomad, remember? I know. I'm mad. In the midst of packing :. You see, I wen...

Jakarta - 2nd Worst Place For Expats? I read in Jakartapost last week on a piece of news which ranked Jakarta as "the 2nd worst place for expatriates to work in outside of the United States, Canada and Westren Europe.". The report which was published by Businessweek, was compiled by one NY-based HRC company, ORC. I surely like to know the methodology of survey (if there's any conducted) to arrive to the findings on Jakarta. That's why, my response to the report is - it is pure BULLSHIT. Yes There are som...

It was around 9.00 am local time when I received a text message from my former boss in Kuala Lumpur. The sms read "Bom? I leapt to switch on the telly. True enough, almost all local TV stations were carrying live report on the bomb blast which took place at JW Marriot and Ritz Carlton hotels. The TV stations telecast gruesome images of the blast victims. One particular image which will forever be imprinted in my mind was that of a foreigner who had just been taken out from JW Marriot on a stretcher.
