Happy Birthday Norman!!!

This is my lil brother...well not little anymore, today he is 24.
A medical student who is now busy in local hospital in Semarang [it's not nearby Bandung...if Bandung in West Java, Semarang is in Center Java]
Still single, I guess he's been too busy with his study...or is he too picky hehe...

Talking to him is always nice, since he loves to read [others then those medical latin terms for sure]...

What I have as his bday presents, you asked? well well...just records of Tim Tamashiro and Putumayo series on French Cafe. Those are his type of music. Quite similar with mine.

Wish you all the best in your life, happy and joyful days, that's the most important...
and of course [in short term] success on your Psychiatric Exam...damn, not easy huh?

Happy Birthday, Bro!

Thanks sis... not because I'm busy nor picky.... but life is just like the song from Putumayo's French Cafe titled Juste Quelqu'un de Bien... just go wherever life will bring you... and it means that it's not my time yet.

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

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.
