It’s only hours before Christmas (the countdown widget up there is clearly not using my time zone), so I thought I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas before I got busy with family. We’re going to church to attend Christmas Eve service tonight and have family dinner at home.

Have a blessed Christmas everyone

It was one big event for Korean drama/celebrity lovers in Jakarta. Rain, the top Korean hip hop singer, came to Jakarta on his Asia Tour and held a concert last Thursday, December 3rd, 2009 at JITEC Mangga Dua.

I have to admit I’m a big fan of him, fell in love with him since his drama series “Full House” few years back. Though I don’t follow Korean drama religiously as I used to, I still occasionally buy his DVD movies or CD album. Feel like teenagers again, lol.

I was really tempted to go to the concert, it must be fun to join the clouds, but decided not to. Couldn’t leave my baby. Hopefully there will be a DVD of his concert in Jakarta soon

Anyway, here’s a clip from his concert last Thursday.

Ever since it was confirmed that Julia Roberts would be filming in Bali for the film adaptation of the book “Eat, Pray, Love”, everybody in my office started to talk about it. Though we’re not in Bali, we’re in Jakarta, but our company have several assets there and regularly send staff to Bali on office duty. So we were hoping that we could match our schedule there with hers. Who knew maybe we could see the pretty woman in flesh! Silly? I know!

I was actually scheduled to be in Bali next month but due to my maternity leave I had to handover my work to my coworker. In my “things to follow up” notes to my friend I jokingly added “find Julia Roberts and tell her I say hello ”.

Last night, my friend who replaced me sent a text message from Bali. I thought he was going to report about his work there. But no he only wrote a short message, “Sorry El, can’t find Julia! lol”.

Anyway, here’s the news about Julia Roberts shooting in a traditional market in Ubud, Bali. It’s in Bahasa though. It said that Julia was tired during the shooting because she had to repeat the scene several times. Apparently the local fruit sellers who played as themselves were too nervous to be in one scene with the Hollywood star, even though they were previously rehearsed.
