deadline{S}

Why it's named deadline? a line of dead? hehe..well, in some sense it's quiet wrong.
For us, those who used to work over nite catching up with schedule, deadline most of the time, keeps them alive. For the matter of fact, that's true, thou some of them become 'zombified' a bit empty look, staring at computer and clicking mouse.

well...I'm having 2 deadlines at the same time now.

The first one is our project, sort of urban design project, but with Feasibility Study and Proposal Masterplan for a c.a.50ha housing area...
oh well, dealing with sort of project ain't as glamorous as it's sounding...
lack of data, and distance with location [it's in other island: Kalimantan, my base is in Bandung: Jawa...next time I'll post my location map]...sort of tiring and time consuming....
yet, I'm still amused everytime there's new finding... well...small achievement you can say...

the other one is nothing to do with design, it is just my desperation to keep on writing, which push me to continue on reading.
There's this conference GASS 3 in NUS [Singapore], which I plan to submit my paper. The title is Impact of Port Development of Spatial Organisation and Urban Culture, case on Makassar Innercity [historical center]

Well, now you know why I was so happy as I saw postman walked thru my gate bringing a big white envelope with TUDelft logo on it. It's the package from Sari!
yes..as usual...i always need small excitement to keep me up with my works...otherwise me as an easy-get-bored-lady just stop in the middle, whining and not finishing my work...

So...here they are...!
I'm working and I accomplished my 'today target' for the urban design project...
well really looking fwd to finish my paper as well!!!

Just back from outing with 3 friends....was nice, with lots of laughs! amazing how happy feeling can cure headache!

Muntok - Old Lady with Trace of Beauty and Charm part 2

Walk the City, then you will get the soul… ...and you may find more hidden beneath... Filled with otak-otak and es kacang, we continued our walk around Old Muntok. Few houses from Petak 15, there is a weird signboard : " Lorong Babi" . We laugh at the funny words in the beginning and follow the direction it shows. We found a newly built kiosk in a dead-end narrow alley. In there, 3 men are selling pork. They were smiling and told us to come in. I asked them if this place is new and they approve. "We are moved here when they (the government) move the old market to the new one across the river" I could see the new market from their stall…across the river. All of you are not joining the others to the new market? "No, this is the location for us" I didn't ask further. It is clear to me. Johannes Widodo, our Keynote Speaker, coined "Meeting Pot" for Muntok. According to him, differences for centuries manage to live side by side in

Muntok - Old Lady with Trace of Beauty and Charm part 01

My trip to Muntok is made possible by mAAN. This year the design workshop subject is Mentok (or Muntok) a Tin Mining City. Some background of the workshop can be found in mAAN Mentok Tin Mining City Design Workshop official website . Muntok's golden moment was back in 18th century until the day of New Order, where national development was centralized in Java. Similar to other places outside Jawa, Muntok losing its importance, despite its richness as on of Tin mines in Bangka Island. Yesterday I didn't manage to walk around the city much. Yet, thru stories from Brain Team we can quickly assume the city loses it's main energy: Youth. *it will be really nice to have more facts from detailed demography statistic data...I will post it as soon as we get the data. Before discuss further on this assumption, I should underline that Muntok has important role in Indonesia Tin Mining Industry. Tin Mining sector considers as the largest contributor for this city income. With t
