Open Wide

by FH2o on March 16, 2006

I was home earlier than usual today giving me the opportunity to savor the sunset from my timber deck and jetty. Looking at the evening sky this thought came to mind and I’m sharing it here. Yes, open wide and let newness in.

hmmmm… I like it…. “open wide and let newness in” very thoughtful!
except if “open wide the door/window and let rober/mosquitoes (aka newness) in” ;)

selba - i might be wrong but i’d noticed that indonesians in general like to close all the windows completely in their house at night. Safety or superstitions?

chen - not that early; before 6pm instead of the usual 6.30 or 6.45pm.
yeah, normally I head straight home. there are not that many distractions in kuching for me to be ’sakai’ about!

Actually I’d just finished a meeting with Gette and I invited her to our place.

She took a sneak snap of me whilst I was engrossed in taking pictures of the evening sky … n had blogged it! Bloggers!! Aahhhhhh!!!

hmm its nice to come home earlier once in a while and take some time to look at the things around you :)

Yes, you are right that Indonesians in general like to close all the windows completely in their house at night, actually not only at night but the whole day especially in the big cities. It doesn’t have to do anything with superstitions but more likely because of:
- safety (as you have predicted)
- air polution
- mosquitoes
- air conditioner

pink cotton - good advice!

selba - ok wat to do?
but we’re more used to leaving our windows and doors wide open when we’re in. insects do get inside the house but we just sweep ‘em away. wat to do? :)

Gette, well done..

I also told quite a bit of pictures of the shy in Kuching and compared that to the sky in SG.

Definitely different..
