Once again I find myself writing with a backlog of days as I have been kept away from my computer by having fun so I am having trouble remembering what I actually did today but I definately remember what happened in the evening and it was pretty A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. It’s funny how the world works and […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 85
Bless. Samudra was awake from 3.00am this morning screaming crying and seemed to be distraught about something but I couldn’t work out what, so I held him in my arms, trying not to fall asleep, while he slept for a couple of minutes, woke and cried, slept again, etc and the cycle continued until the […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 82
I had been planning to get up early today to visit Taman Suropati as it has been on my ‘to do’ list since having Samudra, and it’s been way too long since we were last there to watch Ages Biola and his students practising violin in the park. Remembering today was Easter Sunday I had […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 76
As today was spent infront of my computer all day or otherwise holding Samudra to try and calm him down from crying, I didn’t have any chance for mini adventures or photo taking outside of the house. Being inside all day makes me realise how much I LOVE being out on the streets, how I […] Read more »

I was asked to give some suggestions of people they should interview, places to hang out, where to have good coffee, […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 70
This morning when I woke I heard what sounded like heavy rain so thought I would stay in bed as long as Samudra would allow before it was time for his nanny to arrive. I gave him a bath and then opened the bedroom door as we were going to the table for me to […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 52
Tonight as we were heading home on the vespa Putra noticed the bright lights down one of the narrow streets in the complex – a Pasar Malam! (night market). We quickly headed home and picked up Samudra and walked back the short distance to the markets. Loads of teenagers were hovering near the entrance on […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 23
Day 23 certainly didn’t get off to the happiest of beginnings! Samudra woke up so often last night crying it was craziness, every time I got up to cuddle and soothe him less than half an hour had passed since the last time. As much as I love sleeping upstairs in the studio, it has […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 5
Yet again I was home too late last night to be able to post my day’s happiness, so I have to post it a day late again. I have been to many weddings during my time in Indonesia, most of them I had never met the bride and groom before, but was taken along as […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 4
Sun’s out! Ayo let’s go to the zoo! I was so happy so see some sunshine this morning that I decided to take Samudra to Ragunan Zoo, and it seems that half of Jakarta had the same idea! It was busy there, lots of families sat on the blankets on the still muddy grounds for […] Read more »
