Beyond Description

A Zestful Quest...

Here you can read about my expat life in London: the latest news, concoctions and crazy thoughts I might have every now and then... Pictures will be added as well if what is on my mind can't be put in words...

About Tess

Occupation:
- Managing Director

  Web Designer
  Graphic Designer
  Multimedia Designer
  Digital Artist & Pixel Fukcer

Expat Life: I moved from Amsterdam to London, Aug. 2006. Things didn't quite work out as planned and I found myself on my own in a foreign country.

Reflection: 2007 Has been a difficult year but I've managed to accomplish a lot more than I thought I ever could. I've set up my own business, survived a serious health issue, met some amazing people and found my future...

Personality: At times stuck in a time warp of ideas and thoughts, Mixed Blood [Eurasian seems to be the fancy word for it: Indonesian and Dutch], typical Capricornish Goat, Sensitive, Crazy about Apple Macs and anything related, Gadget Girl, Intelligent, Psychological profiling of all kind, Sucker for all sorts of stuff that makes my OS run like: Coffee and Chocolate, Deep Thinker, Perfectionist, Foolish, Silly, Stubborn [WHAT?... ME? I don't think so... tsk, pffft....]

Indulgence: English full breakfast once in a while when not counting calories, Indonesian fried rice and a Sateh [Nasi Goreng] like my great grandma used to make, Thai Tom Ka Kai or Thai Green Curry Noodle soup original traditional recipes, definitely a peaty Islay Scotch preferably shared with my best friends in Scotland [Inge and Frank] and a Dutch coffee when I'm in Amsterdam with a piece of Dark Chocolate!

Proud Owner: Mac Classic †, Mac LC II †, PowerMac 6500 †, Performa 6800 †, Power Mac 8200 †, iBook Tangerine †, PowerBook G4, iPod shuffle, iSight, Power Mac G5.
