When everybody brings a piece of dinner …

Last night was fun. Interesting.

I invited a few of my ‘couple’ friends over for dinner, and instead of making dinner myself I asked each couple to bring along 2 ingredients. The anticipation of seeing what everyone bought was quite exciting! Nobody knew what the others would bring which made it difficult to choose the ingredients — it should at least be able to be combined with something else!!

We ended up with such an array of foods… bacon, viennas, chicken, 3 kinds of bread, potato “nuggets”, mushrooms, cherries and for dessert, cupcakes!

What a feast!! Everybody had a very enjoyable evening!

Until next time…

Once upon a time….

A long time ago…

I was quite the little artist! But not anymore… This would not be a problem to the ordinary person, but one of my girlfriends is hosting a “workshop” to paint… This is more an attempt to get together (which seems to be getting al the more difficult as time goes by??  — my mom told me this is going to happen ) !!!

Quite nervous…

But I’ve got my picture…

And my brushes…

We can only wait and see what happens!

The Bali Name Craze …

I have always wanted to travel to Indonesia, Malaysia, or any place near there! I read a very interesting fast fact in this winter’s issue of Travel Ideas … “The People in Bali only have one of four names: Wayan, Made, Nyoman, and Ketut.”

Say What ??

After pondering this fact for a moment I started my search on trusty google! This fact was indeed very very true!!!

According to quite a few websites the gender of the person does not matter. Whether you are male or female, the firstborn is named Putu, Wayan, Nengah or Wokalayan. The second born is named Made or Kadek. The third is named Nyoman, Ika or Kamang and the fourth would be Ketut.

What if there is a fifth, sixth or seventh child?

Easy, the whole process just starts from scratch!

Crazy! … but interesting!

I want …

I am not a writer. Never have been. Never will be (despite dreams of some day selling a hit children’s book!! … I want to be a traveller. I have travelled some. And I will travel again. But for now… I’m stranded. Unfortunately. (due to a lack of finance  ). — which I’m sure a lot of you can relate to! I also want to do photography. I love photos. I love taking photos.

So, this is what I want to do when I have enough money to support the lifestyle….

I want to travel and take photographs. This is what I want.
