Street of Bahrain

The picture was taken while driving around Bahrain on our day-off. This is the first picture for road series. this one is a bit blurry. I hope I will get a better one soon and post it here for you all to scrutinize..

Bahrain Twin Towers seen from Sanabis

It's A Tree!

Glasses Evolution

Self Potrait

Me in my Malay shirt plus sarong.

Under The Date's Canopy

I do not know why. Everything looks so green in this picture. LOL

Bahrain Bay

Sanabis from the Sky

Today it is still very hot here in Bahrain as The Summer is almost at its end. The weather will be getting cooler on September which will be next month. It is 43 Celcius degree now outside and I am so lucky for being inside an airconed office. The picture I am showing to everybody now is not actually a picture taken by camera but I save it from Google Earth. As I said on my earlier post that the area where I live is a part of sea reclamation program in Bahrain. From 4664 feet in the air, the area looks so empty. Halah give it another 6 months there will be more building around us.

Sanabis Nights

Bahrain always looks beautiful at nights, all the street lights, the buildings and cars. This one was taken from the roof top of my apartment. You can see that there is scarcely any building around us now as we are actually standing at one of land reclamation in Bahrain.

So you see, every morning I still find various sea cells on my morning walks and imagine that this piece of land was used to be a sea. Wah! It feels like I am walking on the sea water now. Halah

Food or Flower?

I love cabbage but not so sure about this one.

Anyone know what the Latin name for this one?

Old Bahrain in Miniatures

These photos were taken when I went to handicraft center at Jasra. These two sets of miniature captured my eyes. I took them with my digital camera, though the pictures are not really good but what a heck I love them. So neat, although the doll is a little round in the face. LOL

Jars in Disguise

Home Accessories of any material always got me wonder and hook for just looking at them for hours. Working at Gallery makes me appreciating them more. Do not you think that all of these containers, candles, vases and jars look really georgous ? It was originally a bussiness trip but then we spent hours windowshopping with my colleagues at LifeStyle shop at Seef and also taking notes for my future home. By the way, they do have nice stuffs there!

The Golden Figurines

Some places may have some features to make them shine from other places. I do believe that the accesories or ornament contribute on this aspect. As what it shows on above picture of our resort.

Do you have something that is outstandingly distinctive accesories back home?

Deep in Thought

So many things in my mind.

What if this?

What if that?

Happy 62nd Birthday My Indonesia

Today is Indonesia's National Day.

As usual, there will be a flag raising ceremony at both Indonesian Embassy and Consulate anywhere in this planet. For most of us living overseas, we always try to attend this once a year celebration (hey come on, its Independence Day) and what most people are waiting for is the late afternoon gathering.

So late afternoon today, we will be having a gathering at Dolphin Park. There will be games (some silly ones, participated by all adult) such as makan kerupuk race (eating cracker race), shack race (pacu karung) and tarik tambang (tug of war) and normally there would be some Jajanan Pasar (Indonesian food !!!). They are contributed from some of Indonesian here too. It is the moment that everybody is waiting for.

This is how we the Indonesian are celebrating our National Day at home and overseas. How do you guys celebrate your National Day back home? and what about when you are away from your home or Country?

a paradise in the making...

This photo was taken last November 2006 when I just arrived in Bahrain and tried to adjust my life with the new weather, friends and environment.
