How are you today?

[Howie]

So Rere? how was the weekend?

Mine was short... weekend are always too much short.


I'm now in cold war with my mom in law about the use of the now empty room left by the sister in law since she is married 2 week ago.

I have move all the toy of the kid in the room - the mom in law always complain they are everywhere in the house - now the mom in law is emptying them from the room and putting them everywhere in the house!
She don't want we change the room... and the sis in law don't even bother to come take her stuff that she left there. From the Chinese tradition, the room must not being used for the week following the wedding, her new men must even buy her all new cloth and underwear for the first week. After this first week she came take a small box of her cloth and go back to her home... and no more news!

The family in law is quite emotional! The week before the wedding the sis-in-law find way to fight with everyone, including her men on her pre-wedding party that goes "for a walk" as he didn't want see her. The day of her wedding, after multiple fight through the week, she had a last one with her father that finish by her father telling her he don't want see her anymore. Until now they didn't meet again.
So, when I ask the father in law for change the door of the room (can't close anymore) for I can use the room... he agree largely.

Ooh yeah! We also receive a "prank" call from a supposed policeman who ask 30 juta rp for release the husband of the sister-in-law?
From the information the guy had... must be someone close related.

You should video this stuff. You'd make a fortune selling it as a reality TV show!

2,200 stores

Now I have the idea. Do you live in a mall?

[Howie]

Now I have the idea. Do you live in a mall?

Well, my grown kids and their friends (the three boys, not my daughter, most of whom I've known for over 10 years and were always at our house when they were younger) seem to show up regularly just in time to eat a nice meal, shop in our refrigerator, and get their laundry picked up on the way out of the door.


So, ...yes, I live in a mall.

For now, the only video I have is my little little one that make mouth fart in continuous.
I didn't even have time to learn it to her, she learn it alone!

Her older sister is not even able to do it!

Today was not bad for a Monday. Work was busy but it was okay, I managed to leave around 6ish and by 6:03 I was in the comfort of my own home Weather is lovely today, rained a bit here and there kept the overall temperature nice and cool, just like how I like it. Heard from my MIL about a family reunion in Jamaica for Christmas/NYE, but unfortunately I wont be able to make it due to work. Bleh.. so just a bit bummed about that.

Going to have a "Hulk" moment.....(ha, no green hulk face.....)

My husband who has been working ("not working yet") in Surabaya from 1st August was told his Kitas was ready. He went to collect it and was told he had to return to Australia to have it stamped..... So he decided to go yesterday, under the impression he could give the paperwork in the morning and collect the stamped Kitas in the afternoon (that's what his company told him)....... lol or cry.......

So he flew to Sydney yesterday ..... we are from Melbourne (but to get the letter changed to Melbourne Embassy would have taken another 3 to 4 weeks and his visit visa expires 20 October with "No further entries allowed") ..... he went to the Sydney Indonesian Embassy and was told he requires another letter from the Company, passport photo and 5 working days to process...... he's nearly ready to explode...... No-one from the Company is answering their phone or email and now he has to go back tomorrow to submit the letter .....

The ironic thing is that I have come to Surabaya with our 2 boys for a month to be together as a family........ and he is now in Australia and won't be back here until maybe Thursday next week.....


AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...

Thanks!!!! I feel better already

I perfectly understand you!
HAppen same to me the first time I have go take my visa in Singapore.
The agent told us it would be a "go, take and back" thing made in one day.
I go there with my return plane in pocket... plane that I never take.
I need to buy one more... 3 day later!

Now if I have to go back take visa I NEVER buy my return ticket.

It take habitually 3 day, the last time I had the surprise it was 5 day! (plus the weekend... that make loooong to wait!)

I feel ambarassed

Since a while the toilet at the office is not working good, the flushing mechanism is not working.
For remedy to this they completely replaced the toilet.
That didn't make thing better, it make it worse!
Now, yah! the mechanism work, but the one who put in place the new one get it so wrong that the "flushing" evacuate extremely slowly.
I had complain to the repair man... but, we are in Indonesia... it's still working, no need to repair!!!

Finally what must happen, happen, the toilet got completely blocked and are now absolutely unusable.
It's just that I would had like it happen to someone else than me!!!


It's extremely embarrassing!!! Now everyone know I had corn for dinner yesterday!

Hopefully, nobody in the office read this forum... they will probably follow your idea! The toilet is still "on repair", hopefully, I'm a man, man with a big M... I can go pee outside!
