Selamat Datang...

After what seems to be a priod of an endless anticipation, I arrived in Surabaya on 8 July 07. Was pleasantly surprised when I was picked up by people sent by SNA before I cleared the immigration. Even more surprising (verdict is still out whether it's pleasant or otherwise) is that my new 'home sweet home' is only 15 minutes away from the airport.... hmmm, i do like going to Changi to watch the planes but having one zoom over your head every 15 minutes is something else...

Anyway, the apartment promised turned out to be a house.... cosy-looking one with a lamp in the little garden in the porch, 3 rooms (1 for my two housemates from China and me). There is a mysterious-looking spiral staircase at the washing area. My initial reaction wasn't that great but now that I've settled in somewhat (except for the mosquitoes), this place could look really pretty with a lot of sprucing up and decoration...
