Wiwi, Nunung, Anni

October 13 2006

No, I'm not speaking baby language ... those are the names of our two maids and gardener.  Anni is the "Senior Maid" and the cook.  Wiwi and Nunung are the wife-husband couple.  All seem very nice ... Wiwi is sooooo small ... how small is she?  Well, not sure ... maybe 4' 8" and 70 pounds.


Got off work early (but late relative to plan) .. and made it home ... hmmm, 2pm delivery of safe and shredder was a 4pm delivery ... but all went well and looks good.  Washer and dryer was hooked up yesterday ... about 5pm ... but not before we had to go buy plug adapters .... Indonesian style to Singapore style (not sure why they used Singapore style plugs in a couple of places at the house).


Got Thasya's stereo set up and hooked up to the TV ... nice ... karaoke is really sweet now.


RE new printer-scanner-fax   ..... urgh ... whoever heard of a COLOR scanner, all-n-1 system ... that prints ONLY black and white ... sucky sucky sucky .... I'm stuck on that one.


RE UPSs ... two big ones work great ... not a problem ... two small ones didn't come with the "output" cords ... not very useful that way ... gotta go buy cords now.


RE A/C units ... we have something like 13 in the house ... I think its two that aren't working very well ... including the one in the office ... gotta get that fixed.


RE water ... we are in our dry season. Sometimes have water, sometimes no ... I understand the owner is going to drill the well a bit deeper ....


The four of us had a simple dinner at the house last night ... VERY NICE ... Wiwi and Anni laughed and laughed watching me eat fresh chili (during a pre-dinner snack).  Jokingly, I told them that next time they needed to find "hot" chilis ... he he he ....


We are having the typically "start up" issues associated with any move ...and in particular moving in Indonesia ... but we are making progress.  Today (Sat) we are still in the hotel ... just going back and forth for now ... as we get things organized. Hope to have internet access at the house on Monday.


ciao ciao ....

Have you tried buying COLOR ink for your color printer?
