ProBlogger’s 7 Link Challenge

Thumbnail image for ProBlogger’s 7 Link Challenge

Darren from ProBlogger give this 7 Link Challenge that sounds like fun so I’m gonna jump and give it a try. Your first post Well, this one is a bit tough since I’ve been blogging since 2005 first on Blogspot but I had deleted that blog then move to Multiply and when I moved here to Tatter Scoops just last year I ‘brought’ back some of my old posts. Read my frustration of having a Not-So-Asian-Figure. A post you enjoyed writing the most I Used To Dream of Pink Bows. This is the one post where I poured my heart out and yes, it involved some tears typing it down. Another one is Chasing Away Bad Dreams because that’s the .....

After your dream wedding, you’re now officially Mrs. Someone. Your new life as a couple will start in a foreign country if you decided to follow your husband, which is usually the case. There are many many adjustments we – the Indonesian wives have to deal with and here are just some fun list of things that you might face after you got married and supposedly moved to your husband’s foreign country: People will stare at you less: Ehm…remember those annoying stares you used to get in Jakarta (or Indonesia in general)? Well, the natives in your husband’s country won’t stare at you from head to toes – at least maybe not as obvious as Indonesian does. Housewife chores: Yes, .....

Tooting My Own Horn

This might well be the hardest post I ever make because it’s so far out of my comfort zone but what the heck, I’m posting it anyway… Brilliant Gigi from Kludgy Mom and Melissa from Miel et Lait has join forces to bring us a brand spanking new place that will take bloggers behind the scenes of the blogsphere and to do so you must write a blog post of why your blog should be consider as an A-lister. So here’s me in all my glory… What makes this blog different? From all the blog groups I joined from mommy ones to non-mommy ones, I found there aren’t many blog quite like mine out there. Yes, there are some big .....

Weekly Round Up

So, after a small objection from Lil’ A about my blackberry, I took the weekend off not only from the phone (well almost! I still had to communicate with DH!) but also from my laptop and you know what it feels great! But I do miss reading the blogs I love – so will try to do some catch up soon. Milestone wise: The boy now speaks longer sentences, some words just spurted out of nowhere! Like last Saturday while playing with his small uncles and aunts (yes – technically he is their little nephew!) he blurted out “No! That’s not how you do that…here, let me show you!” with a very bossy tones it’s almost make me fell on .....

Sweetest Reunion

It was June 19, 2005 when I finally boarded the big steel bird to embark on a new chapter of my life. The hardest part wasn’t hugging my family goodbye at the airport…it was hugging my dog for the last time. He’s been anxious and super clingy for the last couple of weeks before my departure date. As if he knew…and the look on his face breaks my heart. After spending a night in Singapore, on June 20, 2005 I finally boarded Northwest plane bounded for JFK. I was so nervous, anxious and happy all mixed up like a giant ball of knot in my stomach. “What if I miss my connecting flight in Japan?” my mind raced, my palms .....

Been a fan of Sex and The City for years now, had watched the show religiously even had my full seasons collection. Yes, the clothes, shoes and purses are to die for but for me they have more meaning (and I’m not that fashionista myself!) and here’s what I learned from that 4 fabulous ladies: ●   Boyfriends – or in Samantha’s case boy toys – will come and goes but real friendships will stay for a lifetime! ●   True friends may not approve your choices in life – but they will support you none the less! ●   If they don’t agree to your choices they’ll tell it like it is, in your face – not behind your back! ●   .....

Sian over at Pumpkin and Piglet gave me this beautiful blog award and I am stoked! Thank you, Sian! Although my blog still have some kinks to straighten out after moving from one hosting company to another with the help of brilliant Sharon, I am so surprised that Sian gave me such an award! The rules are I suppose to share 7 facts about myself then pass the award to 15 others blogger so here goes my 7 list: I love roller coaster – and now I know where my son got his thrill seeking taste from. In High School after final graduation exams, my whole class went to an amusement park here in Jakarta and I won a bet .....

Lost in Translation

This week’s prompt sounds like so much fun that I had actually started typing this on Wednesday afternoon while Lil’ A is busy playing contently by himself. Nothing more fitting, more appropriate to the first prompt than my short time ‘living’ in Guangzhou, China. Oh you wonder why? Simple, because I don’t speak Chinese! Other than “Xie xie” (thank you) and “Ni Hao Ma” (How are you/Hello) I have absolutely no idea how ‘miserable’ the first month there was going to be. My third magic sentence is “Bu Ming Bai” (I don’t understand)…well it’s not really that magical because the local Chinese would only talked louder even after slowly and politely told them “Bu ming bai.” My sarcastic mind worked .....

On Finding My Voice

photo credit: UrbanMechanic Although blogging isn’t really a new thing for me, taking it seriously is. Besides learning the use of WordPress, its CSS code and many plug-ins – it’s been fun. When I think about Niche tho that’s when I seems to be falling out of the ‘normal’ categories. There’s plenty of successful mommy blogger out there that inspires me. But I’m not a homeschooling mommy, my blog doesn’t revolve around my little man – he’s a huge part – but not the only part, doing craft really isn’t my thing, cooking? Well, my cooking constitute of survival instincts only. I love photography but I’m still a novice. Traveling has been low this year but I write whenever we .....
