Bule Masuk Kampung…
Certainly there are only two seasons living here in Jakarta – super duper unbearable to be outside hot season, and super duper hot with half your house underwater due to flood rains season. It seems that something was in the air though after Christmas, and bringing in the New Year of 2015 in January.. because […] Read more »
I always feel so happy when we are able to join for playgroup as it means that Samudra gets to spend some time with his little buddies, and I get to meet and spend time with lovely mum friends here. Every time I see a Facebook post of a new mum arriving in Jakarta and […] Read more »
I feel so blessed to have met so many gorgeous mums and kids here in Jakarta and it’s always so fun to get together and see the kids play and celebrate milestone birthdays together. This was the first time I have ever visited Pluit in the six years I have been here and it seemed […] Read more »

Sometimes it’s easy for me to forget where I am and take all I have for granted when I’m working from home and trying to find a balance between working and spending enough quality time with Samudra. I take him to as many play dates as I possibly can and make sure he gets out […] Read more »
Hey there! remember me? I seem to have disappeared for far too long, so much has been happening, play dates, dinner dates, work, work, work, Ramadan and Idul Fitri came and went and my little boy turned TWO (more on this later)… and in all this time I haven’t managed to pick up my camera!
