Ok, so last Sunday we had our little sing-fest of karaoke.  Thasya tried her luck at Christmas caroles. Not bad ... but it did have a funny feel to it.  Wonder how Chris and Paul will do with "White Christmas" ??????

Last night Decy again brought up the subject of a Christmas tree and showed me a catalogue of new style artificial trees. DECISION MADE - We are going to TREE this year .... yep, tree, some basic ornaments, and tree lights ... and then lights for the stairs.  Don't have any decorations (its been probably 8 years since I had a tree) .... so Decy will have to buy some.  Tree goes up on Sunday the 16th when Chris and Paul arrive.

As for Ms. Stacy's comments about taking care of her boys ... I AM NOT PETER PAN ... while I might keep them up and out for most of the hours of the night, I would never keep them out all hours of the night (I'm getting too old for that) ... and I certainly won't be treating them to lots of sweets ... I'm too cheap for that.

There is a furniture exhibition in the city this week.  Decy was there and found a few more items that we need and were on our list.  This wave of stuff is supposed to be delivered next week .... step by step ... I think we are now about 70-80% complete on the house ... excluding contingency. Still waiting on the speakers to be delivered ... and still haven't heard anything about my claim on the shipment damages.

Trip to Jatiluhur yesterday was neat.  Its about 90 kilometers outside of Jakarta ... very interesting place. I'll blog about it sometime.

For those of you who haven't noticed TGIF !!! and the best part of this Friday ... is knowing this is the last 5 day week I will work until the week of Jan 8-12 ... YEAH !!!!!

ciao ciao
