Phew – mid year already ….


Its hard to believe it is 1 July and that already half of 2009 has gone by. And, it is amazing how fast things can change work-wise. Although some folks may not think much has changed (I’m still in Indonesia) … this time last year I was busy working away as a Controls [...]

H1N1 – Its Here


And so, the Indonesia government has publicly advised that H1N1 (swine flu) has been detected in Indonesia. To date there are only 8 confirmed cases. Reportedly, essentially all cases are associated with Australian tourists in Bali (after we left) or folks visiting Australia or Singapore. Reportedly, there have been no human-to-human transmissions [...]

Old Dog – New Tricks


Survived another weekend although I am not nearly as rested as I should be … nor wanted to be. Of course, still fighting a cold. Came home on Friday night at my currently “normal” 845pm. Ate dinner and went to bed. I was up bright and early (4am) and in the [...]

Slip Sliding Away ….


Yesterday Chely, Decy, and Thasya met up with Samantha and Jordan. After having lunch together they went to a place that had an indoor slide – which was about 7 floors high. After doning safety equipment (helmet, knee pads, partial body bag for keeping their legs together) each took off down the slide. [...]

Blackberry Bold 9000


As it turns out – what I have is a BB Bold 9000. Thus, Thasya nailed it on the head – she said it was a “Bold”. So, I guess I do have a “hot BB”. But, again, I’m not sure I will be able to take full advantage of the BB. [...]

I Think I am Catching A Cold. Urgh.


No doubt long hours and fatigue take a toll on one’s body (Chris – watch out) and now it seems like I am catching a cold (or it is catching me). Yesterday my throat started feeling scratchy and I started sneezing. Guess I better start taking cold medicine. Urgh. I don’t [...]

Doing Better Today …


Yesterday (Monday) was a bit of a nightmare as I came out of the weekend very tired. Couldn’t hardly wake yesterday and then didn’t have time to eat breakfast. Got to work and laid down under my desk for a little bit. Then …. hussle hussle hussle until 8pm. At about, [...]

Hard to Believe it is Monday


After 10 days of approx 18 hour days it probably comes as no surprise that I was DRAGGING going into the weekend. We closed out the weekend by joining Terry / Samantha, Bart / Andrea, and Steve Erbstoesser at the Darmawanza (sp ?) hotel for cocktails and dinner on Friday. It was a [...]

Really NTR


For all intents and purposes there is Nothing to Report today. Yesterday was another blur and my head is still in a fog. Left the house at 530am … started work at 6am … finished at 945pm. Home at 1030pm In bed sometime around mid-night. Up at 315am. Ugh.
Ciao ciao. GBU.

6×18


Ah the joys of taking three days vacation (plus a weekend) … then getting to work six 18 hour days-to-back. Made it home from Aceh at about 11pm on Monday – in bed by 1215am. Alarm went off at 4am … on the way to the office at 445am. First meeting (with [...]
