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...

(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...
