WHAT'S NEW JAKARTA (DECEMBER 6TH, 2010)

What's new with you guys?? On  Thursday , we celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary by having coffee at The Dharmawangsa Hotel, for 5 star prices, dining, ambiance, and 0 star service.    http://www.the-dharmawangsa.com/ .  As a result of the service, we decided to go to Ham Ji Bak Executive Korean restaurant instead for a dinner of sam gup sal (Pork Bacon) and dawayne Jang Gee Gay (Miso bean paste soup) and side dishes. http://www.urbanesia.com/profile/ham-ji-bak/photo/ On  Friday , we went to the Taiwanese Embassy, so I could apply for a visa, which was a bit of a drama, but rewarded ourselves with  Sizzler's salad bar for lunch (I also skipped breakfast in preparation for this!!).  They have a painting of a white Michael Jordan with brown hair there.  Then Carol went to her student's mom's (SM) house to watch another SM play the violin.  This SM is famous in Italy, whose concerts generally require people to pay ov...

AFL GRAND FINAL GALA 2010

Funny thing happened TODAY .  I went out into the backyard, and saw the head of a mouse.  Turns out my cat left it there and ate the body.  It's cat culture to leave the entire kill, or at least a portion of it for the master, namely me.  I also had a great Triceps, back, calves, abs, and gluts workout this morning. Turns out I didn't go out on THURSDAY NIGHT after all.  I am committed to keeping in shape, and with the AFL Grand Final Gala and the Thursday night party only two days apart, I couldn't justify it.  Anyways, my waistline is thanking me now. SATURDAY I skipped dinner on FRIDAY , in preparation for the five star hotel champagne buffet breakfast.  It was pure Australian fare; oven baked tomatoes, beef and chicken sausages, an egg and juice station, hash browns, bacon, bread, fruit, baked beans, but for me, the cereal corner was the main treat.  I had Raisin Bran and All Bran mixed together, and man, it was good.  I don't...

A RANDOM WEEK IN JAKARTA (MAY 14TH, 2010)

On Sunday morning, we went to the gym and then met up with Wayne from Toronto, whom we had not seen for a while.  We had curry with him. On Monday I took it easy at the gym, and called people for Mother's Day. On Tuesday , I went to the gym for one hour in the morning to do sit-ups (600), push-ups, and stretching.  Then I went in to sub a grade 3/4 class.  After work, I went back to the gym to do one hour of cardio, a back/arms workout, and then Carol and I did a body-pump class. On Wednesday , I was back in the gym for 1 hour in the morning to do sit-ups (600 crunches), and stretching.  My arms were too sore for push-ups.  Then I subbed a class for the day, again.  In the late afternoon, I taught ESL to the school's security guards.  Then we went to the Librarian, Shelly's birthday party at T.J.'s, not far from our house.  I had the chicken, while Carol had a monster burger. Thursday was a public holiday here, so we went to  Coffe...
