Dear Little Sarah,

Everyday we hope and pray for your recovery. We know its a tough and trying job, but we know you can do it. We are also praying so that your mom and dad will be comforted, strengthened and given hope.
We look forward to the day when we can hear your laughter, share your joy, listen to your stories and maybe even play with you.
We long for the day when we can read your dad’s blog about you, perhaps even one day we can even read your own blog with your own thoughts and writings.

Dear little Sarah,

please remember that although we haven’t met, we are all so fond of you. We all want the best for you and your family.
So please little Sarah, get well.
You can take your time, we know little babies can get tired, so gather up all your energy and fight that illness. But don’t take too long, we want to see you smile, laugh and play as soon as you can.

Sent with lots of hugs and kisses from all you uncles and aunts from the Kampoeng Gadjah.

Why do you jeopardize your safety?
Why do you think that is safe for you?
Why do you think that is safe for others?
Why did the driver allow you to do that?
Why did the police not stop you?

Just FYI the photo above was taken at Citeluk about a month ago.

Damn buswayz! I took the busway home from work today. Close to the end of the first leg, the bus was well beyond the maximum number of people allowed on the bus which I think is 85. At the 2nd to last stop, nobody got off the bus and 2 people snuck in the back entrance, pushing me and the other 80-odd people further and deeper in the bus. I thought ok, this will get better at the next stop.

Was I ever wrong. I think wronger might even be a better word for it.

The next stop was a transfer station, and when the bus got there, it was as if Burger King was handing out free Whoppers. The bus station was full. It seems the buses heading out of that station were all delayed somewhere along the route before that station. Now keep in mind these are elevated platforms, so that people can just step aboard the bus without having to go up steps. So now Im standing on the platform, again in a mosh-pit like squalor. No buses heading the East.

10 minutes later…

Still no buses heading East, but another 2 buses drop off another 80 or so people at the bus stop and none of them are alighting from the platform.

15 minutes later i had enough of the human sardine imitation, i pushed and shoved my way towards the exit and out onto the street. free at last. i walked over to the corner of the street and hailed an approaching taxi and headed home.

Wouldn’t you know it? As i got into the cab, there was the East bound bus.

yaaay! i’ve got a WordPress blog! \:D/

another new day. i didnt feel well yesterday, so i stayed at home with the Daughter who was also sick. We watched silly cartoons all morning, took a nap after lunch, then she watched more silly cartoons, read some books while i played on the Mini.

Today is back to work. I’m planning on an Independence day camping trip with Son. Should be fun!

its a new day. at least i think it is. what day is today? anyway, i joined up id-gmail. why? i think its because i need the challenge. i think im up to the challenge. i hope i am.

anyway lets see how long i last there. could be that i outlast, outwit and outplay everybody there. (yeah right)

we shall see….

we shall see….

am i a glutton for punishment? for embarassment? for amusement?

we shall see…

Ive relocated to a new desk!

Just testing the blog function in my phone. Its pretty cool: I take a picture, add some text and a title, and i send it off to Blogger. Voila! i have a blog entry. I just need to re-learn typing on a candybar phone (pressing 2 three times really fast to get the letter ‘C’).
At least this will mean I can update the blog as soon as I have the idea, instead of waiting till ‘I have time’ (never).

cheers…
