First three-days with Twin Sisters

Okay...finally I can really write something from my Singapore-KL-Singapore Trip...
on the first part of my stay in Singapore, most of my time was with Sari and Shanti, until Sari left for Delft on 5th of December...

It's fun...I stayed at Shanti [Sari's twin sister] and Eko House.

Here I posted some pictures....with short notes...[am I too lazy or what?]


House where I stayed on the first 5 days, it is Sari by the corridor



The family where I bunked in, Eko [the Daddy], Santi [the Mommy]-Sari [the Aunty]-Sari and Santi's Mom, and Tirta [the little baby]...I couldn't find Judi picture...the eldest boy.


Boat Quay: It was girl's day out...we [Shanti, Sari and me] went to BoatQuay for a drink or two, and chitchat...
nice revitalisation project...but too steril in my point of view


the Twins, can you tell which is who?
it's underpass from a metro station...reminds me of metro station in Paris and Rotterdam....what a big difference...but if you talk about city life...dirtiness is part of it...combined environment.

Ah I found him finally...here is he, Judi [from Judishtira] with his Daddy, decorating Christmas tree...I love Judi's curly hair

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

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
