#66

  1. Dad
    Simply my father. Born in 1925, a VERY God-fearing man. He has an obession to publish a book and to spread God’s words in China. His father was half-Hawaiian.
  2. Miskiyah
    A woman that has been working for us since I was a kid. I taught her to read and write when I was 9. She was born in 1962, has 2 girls, got married 3 times and divorced 3 times as well.
  3. Tante Dessy
    “Tante” means “auntie” in Indonesian. She’s my (late) mother younger sis and she stayed with us for more than 2 years before Dad and I moved to this house in July 2006.
  4. Oom Hendra
    Tante Dessy’s husband. A good-for-nothing man which I sometimes refer him as “the whale” in my blog. “Oom” means uncle. Tante Dessy and Oom Hendra have 2 sons: Daniel and Andreas. Daniel is my most favorite cousin.
  5. Maya
    A so-called best friend. She’s my neighbor now since I moved here. She has 2 sons from her previous marriage and they both are schooling in Singapore, being taken care by Maya’s parents: Oom Thomas and Tante Jenny. I’ve known Maya since 1988. We went to the same university.
  6. Dudung
    Maya’s current husband. They have one girl Penelope (Pe) which is quite attached to me.
  7. Ronald
    Maya’s younger brother.
  8. Agek
    Ronald’s wife. They have 2 kids: Chloe and Jethro. Chloe is also schooling in Singapore and Jethro is the cutest boy in the neighborhood. Yes, they also live close to us.
  9. Martin
    A “friend-with-benefits” that I like a lot, but I don’t really trust. He has a dry sense of humor, long hair and most people say that we look alike - which I don’t find as a compliment.
  10. Vivi
    My bestest friend ever. She understands me the most and I love her very much. We went to the same university, so she’s Maya’s friend, too. And also Shirly and James. If you sometimes found that I mentioned a name of Ella, she’s Vivi’s friend that has become my friend, too. Vivi has the most handsome young man in the world, married to a New-Zealender.
  11. Jeanne
    Another friend of mine. We’re currently setting up an on-line e-shop together with her friend Olive. Married with 2 sons.
  12. Susan
    A fellow Virgo, a fellow blogger that doesn’t blog much lately.
  13. Yaya, Fiqqa, and some other names.
    Just friends of friends, or people I don’t keep in touch often - but have contributed a lot as the source of my blog writing. And of course, they do not know that I’ve made them on-line celebrities ;)
