Cleaning Up

Since two days ago my house is painted. The whole interior is on project. Now the time is coming for my study room to be done, too. I was trying to pack all books—and knick knacks—in that room, and found out…it’s too much!
This house has been inhabited by 4 peoples before. My eldest sister, second sis, and my bro. Thus, thank to all their ‘inheritances’…which I feel as a trespasser to just throw them away. Now, after all those years, particularly after 2 years abandoning this house, I need to gather all my energy to clean this 3x4 metersquare room, make it ready for repainting.

I just successfully packed 3 boxes of books…only books. And there are still twenties—I hope—of them; exclude those old books from college...even highschool~
In addition to that, my bachelor degree final project maquette. Well yeah…too romantic to keep it, right? But everytime I remembered that it took me—plus Victor, Peggy and many other friends—2 sleepless night to build that, I feel so irresponsible to dump it.

Uh oh…

Victor once said that I am good in throwing useless things—believe me, he is much more nostalgic type on useless articles than me—but, still….

It might still 5 to 7 days ahead till this entire repainting project done.
Can’t wait to see the whole picture of my house…


The 50th Asian African Conference has started since today in Bandung. Government redecorated streetscapes along the route where those leaders will do the sightseeing.
Well in one way it is nice, some part of Bandung all of sudden became extra clean, unfortunately 70% others are still neglected…
Better not rain, otherwise they will see how badly our entire drainage system.



I found this picture done by Moga, entitled Patchwork Market...
those colors just enchant me~!

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
