An Old Town Somewhere Nowhere

Small town of Saumlaki, on the Tanimbar Islands,  on the outermost of Indonesia bordered by Australia, Papua and Timor Leste, still has that old feeling, almost look like it's never been touched by modern life.

port and old market of Saumlaki

I love how the old shops still stand like olden days, with bright colors and naïve signage. The heart of Saumlaki -where all the business happens - is still there, in the old town, although the government has moved their headquarters further in the island.

Shells on The Beach

We finally got a chance to visit one beautiful island. A deserted one, the outermost island of the Country. Beautiful white sand in some parts, rocks and corals on the other parts. Beautiful shells were scattered everywhere.

Happy Weekend Ev'ryone!

It's weekend already, and I have nothing else to do but sitting here and enjoy myself. How cool is that? :-)

It Takes Whatever It Takes

24hrs a day  sometimes seems never enough, while we had to chase the time to finish the work of making beautiful set for an event. We have to steal a few moment just for taking a break, because the work is enormous, and the guest cannot be left waiting. When you think decorating is a fancy job; think again.

Bali Lights

Lovely sunlight and sky, that's what Bali's best of!

Lunch By The Sea

It's not the most superb lunch I've ever had. It's a humble one, in fact. We were invited by a fisherman's family in Singaraja to join them for lunch. And this was what we've got.

Freshly catched fish, grilled. Sambal chili sauc a la minute, mixed with home-made hot coconut oil. Mango salad bought nearby, and warm white rice. Sounds yummy no?
No.
But what makes it delicious is the sincerity, the warmth, their genuine welcome.

Tuak - fermented palm juice to finish the meal...
they bought it at IDR60,000 per gallon, that they'll finish  in a second. 

This is the entertainment and companion during the luncheon.
