100 Days of Happiness – Day 47
Today started with an early complimentary breakfast at the Hotel of nasi goreng and tempe mendoan, followed by way too many mini croissants.. what’s with my ridiculously insatiable appetite? It was another steaming hot day in Jogja, all of it spent meeting people with Samudra at the locations where Putra was filming. I would like […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 45
OK, I am once again finding myself far behind with updates after a quick trip out of Jakarta. On Friday, my 45th Day of Happiness, I spent most of the morning just playing with Samudra before braving the heat with him for a quick walk up to Jasons Supermarket on Jl Ampera. I had planned […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 44
Today started much earlier than I would have liked.. at 3.00am! Samudra decided to wake up and start pulling my hair and rolling around the bed to his bapak and keeping us both awake.. All attempts to settle him by feeding or sitting in the rocking chair failed, and after 5 minutes of peace he […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 43
Today was a special day… my beautiful sister Treen’s birthday! We were a little slow going in the morning, so by the time I got Samudra and I ready to go birthday shopping, the heaven’s opened up and it absolutely poured with rain! This limited our options of where to go as rain + traffic […] Read more »

As soon as the lift doors […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 41
Today was a pretty chilled out day again, a nice lazy Sunday, as it should be when it is pouring raining outside. Putra and I FINALLY made it back to the gym again and it felt good to power along sweating on the treadmill while watching some hysterical tips on the local tv news about […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 40
This morning while lying in bed I could hear lots of noise and laughter out on the street so decided to have a quick look over the fence with Samudra and I saw what looked like the colourful tops of ondel ondel (large puppets used for folk performances).. so I ran back inside threw a […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 39
This afternoon we took the jeep out for a drive to Citos to meet Treen. It was Samudra’s first time in the jeep and he was loving it but quickly fell asleep with the sound of the engine and bumpy ride. The jeep is the same one that Putra’s parents used to drive him and […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 38
Today was Daffa’s 5th Birthday and he was so excited! As expected he ripped open his present in one rough scoop, which made me laugh as we had watched the lady take almost half an hour to wrap it last night at the store. Yes, it looked beautifully wrapped, but seriously, Matahari gives their staff […] Read more »
