What can I possibly say to apologize for having neglected my blog? Nothing really. They will all sound like cheap excuses to my own ear. So I will just pretend that there has not been any long gap between this post and the last. Hope you can do the same! 
As you know, mid September I moved to Haiti with my hubby. His work has taken him there and as a supportive wife (at least supportive for three months or so) I followed suit.
Well, my last post was about a month ago, and that was when my hubby came back from Port-au-Prince, Haiti from the job that he has recently accepted. We have since been busy with our move, packing, getting vaccinations done and whatnot. We left Indonesia on 15th September and after 40 hours of travel from door to door (29 hours and 35 minutes of flying time), we arrived in Port-au-Prince.
This morning started like any other morning. After the usual morning routine, I started up my computer, checked my emails and then started on some ‘housekeeping’ of my files. I generated an invoice for a job I had just completed last night and sent it off to my client.
Later around lunch time I casually opened my Facebook account just to see what was on. Boy was I shocked when I read an update by one of the pages I was following, saying (translated), “Indonesia Unite conveys its deepest condolences on the passing away of our brother, Alex Abimanyu, one of the initiators of Indonesia Unite movement. May the Lord grant him with a fitting place by His side, for his services, works, aspiration and dreams for this nation. Amen.” My reaction was, “What? That can’t be!” (more…)
I was shopping with my hubby at a nearby supermarket when I noticed this car parking in a way that hogs two parking spaces. It’s not an uncommon scene in Jakarta, and usually this would really annoy me particularly when there is no other parking space available. Normally I would immediately judge this person as an incompetent driver.
At the end of 2009, I participated in the Group Writing Project: 90 Reviews of 2009 and wrote about My Top 10 Recipe Sources in 2009. It was not only a good opportunity for me to promote my blog, it was also very interesting to be part of a group reviewing the year that has passed from different perspectives, and a lot of the other participants’ articles were very interesting for me. These are my favourites, followed by a short comment from me.
