The boy thinks that my weblog readers like me better when I’m blogging from Indonesia because now that I’m blogging from Canada, I get considerably less comments to my weblog posts. I wonder if it’s true. Hrm.
Speaking of the boy, I’m going to watch him curl tonight. No, not curl as in curling his hair (he doesn’t look good with curly hair). Curl, as in sports. Probably the dorkiest sport game I’ve ever known. Even the boy doesn’t think I would find it very exciting. He suggests me to bring a book and a lot of snack in case I get bored. I’m going to take a lot of pictures of the boy in action for sure, especially when he’s doing the highly amusing mop-the-floor brush-the-ice thing. Fun stuff.
And now I’m going to play some virtual curling to get in the mood for the game tonight. Trust me, the real thing is much dorkier than that.

Hey now. I curled in high school.
And man, was I ever cool.
Okay, not so much, but it’s fun in a “why the heck am I running around with a broom?” sort of way.
I like watching the world curling championships.
Ok. Nothing has changed, I’m still a dork.
Interesting game. Is it like the ice hockey? Individual or team game? Never heard about that before.
It’s more like bowling than ice hockey, actually. But not really. And it is a team sport. It is an odd, odd game…
Why not much comment?
1. You stop blogging for sometime
2. Your comment url is _hard_ to find. I think a link “Leave a comment” under every post is lots easier.
Cricket is an odd game.
But aussies are mad about it.
Never heard about it in Indonesia.
I think curling rocks! Couldn’t resist :)
Welcome to Canada, btw, Firda! You make a wonderful addition to our country. Enjoy!
me: Why not use your real name and real email address? I already know your website. ;) And I’ve heard of cricket. I even knew a couple of places in Jakarta where they played it.
Jennifer: Thanks! :) I am enjoying my stay.
Adam: I didn’t know that!

Curling is so much fun! I really enjoyed my time whenever I curled!

Still, I use my real name and real email address in my weblog. I expect my commenters to do the same. It’s not like I’m going to spam you or anything.
Curling is interesting of course. Hope your “honey” does a great job this day, yesterday? Anyway - this spot appeals to me because my daughter-in-law is from Indonesia and my favorite place to be in the summer is Canada.
The game you posted is great. I finally won both ends. Once. We just got the movie “Men With Brooms”. The greatest curling movie ever made. (The only curling movie ever made?)
Oh, I forgot to say, it’s cool in a personal way to me that you are there in Canada, because you are living in my home town! So I like to read it when you have nice things to say about KW. Because now I live far away in another country.
Oops!
Sorry Firda!
I am not trying to say you will spam me!
I know you not that kind of person!
