You would think that for the good of mankind they wouldn't have a Monday morning quite so often ....

Had a good weekend and Stela arrived on Sunday. For the weekend .... did the usual massages, eating out, clubbing, resting.  Never got to do any of the work I brought home ... YEAH !!!

Sunday AM, bright and early at 7/8 am Decy took off for the airport to get Stela.  I couldn't wake up.  Apparently my alarm (phone) was beeping and vibrating and eventually just fell off the end table ... I never heard it.  Stela arrived with Decy about 1PM ... we chatted, relaxed, showed Stela the house.  I swam for a few minutes.

Nat Simpson came over, we chatted about work and stuff ... then all of us did Karaoke until 10pm.

I'm getting old.  My back is in quite a bit of pain ... I think from sitting at the computer at work too much.  I will put a back brace in my chair at work (I have one). Don't know what I can do about the home set up.

I'm taking Tuesday off .... tonight (Monday) is CJ's grand re-opening (following a major remodelling).  CJ's is probably Jakarta's nicest club (out of a city of 20 million). We like it a lot ... and the 9 person band (from S. Africa, Colombia, Canada, and Indonesia) is fantastic.  We know most of the folks by name ....  Anyway, tonight Kelly Rowland from Destiny's Child was going to join the band for the evening.  Unfortunately, we received a call from the manager last night ... Kelly cancelled.  REASON - On Saturday some idiot partially blew himself up with a small homemade bomb while at an A&W fast food place at a mall on the far east of town (a long way from CJ's).  So, that hit the press .... and she cancelled.

Funny thing about the "bomber" ... sounds like he wasn't too smart ... just a little bit of gun powder and some buck shot  in a box ... attached to a handphone.  Apparently he was in A&W ... with the bomb on his lap, and the phone rang.  Press says he's at the hospital getting the buckshot cleaned out of his groin area ... OUCH.

Now, back to CJ's, the party is still on ... they are bringing in a very famous Indonesian singer (so I'm told).  We shall see ... I'll let you know ... but don't expect a blog at my 430 in the morning on Tuesday.

ciao ciao
