Payback time

First…I DID write something few minutes ago, directly on my blog site, but then by the time I was uploading, IE5 crashed.
It’s happened not only this time thou…

Ok, whatever.

I just back from my trip to Singapore and Kualalumpur and really looking forward to upload pictures and stories out of those days.

But, being away from office for 10 days, pile of tasks has been awaited.
Well yeah, it’s nothing like other people who works in office, from 9 to 5, but more on responsibilities I should take as one of shareholders of the company.

Sounds cool? Well maybe yes, maybe not.
Three of us; Victor, Robert and me; run this studio, for interior and architecture since year 2002, just couple months before I left for Delft.
Until now, thanks God, it still exists thou not in easy way, and believe it or not…we never really had a registered name for it.
Thus, last night we decided a name that eventually has been used informally by us for 1,5 years. Before it was only medio.
Now, since last night we have a name for it:

MEDIO+domain
architecture and space planning

MEDIO is abbreviation of Media-Design-Studio with domain in interior, architecture and urban planning….

Sounds canny? Ah whatever…who can judge? We really believe in this, thus now we are compiling and making templates for our new logo; namecards, letter set, AutoCAD drawing layout templates, and company profile.

Meanwhile, my task on new city masterplan in Samarinda still awaits.

But, I’m telling myself to be discipline in making time for uploading pics from Singapore and KL, otherwise they will be expired and boring.

Thus…my life still juggles in this overcrowded world, and I’m happy with it.
In fact last trip has broadened my mind; seeing, listening and feeling new things.
Grab hold of passing train, and of course … should be the right train…!

veel succes met jouw examens, Sphinxku!

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

(Supposed to be) Last day with JICA Mamminasata

this was taken just before we left. Some local staff had left, so here was I, only lady in the party. on my right is the team leader, left is the deputy team leader. My only aim was to finish my leftover tasks from Mr. Koizumi and Mr. Watanabe’s Decree (well it’s Presidential Decree Draft, not his decree..but whatever) I have to transfer some of tasks to other people, since today is my last day. I did that. Eventually, Ibu Itha asked me to accompany Mr. Koizumi (our team leader which I always afraid of) to ASKINDO (Cocoa Association of Indonesia). This was my first time to be with him and in fact my first time to have conversation with him after 10 months working with this study team. I am really grateful that I had that chance. He is an extraordinary humble person with rich experiences in his professional life. Just like the story of his 30 years old leather suitcase that he purchased in Rome and still accompany him everywhere he goes around the globe. He might looks old with his grey
