[healthy] karaoke

that was request of Sachiyo, our expert in GIS and landuse planning.
Well, I agree...I told her I know a place called "Happy Puppy" chain family karaoke place.
We talked it over lunch last friday, with Tsuge san and Higashi san...
*so...tonite?*
*no, I can't
* Tsuge san replied with regretted face
*as you know...* he addressed that to Sachiyo.
Later I knew that he promised other team member [uhm..a lady] to escort her to a party.
*yeah..you know Yuli, Mr. Tsuge is always happy to escort Ms. Ishiwata*
Sachiyo is a kind that always pulls other's leg...

[after a study team meeting, with hard debate between Sachiyo and Ms. Ishiwata...]

*Yuli, tonite is set. Tsuge san has cancelled his appointment*
*what?*
*hehe*
with teasing face...

[I was rushing here and there to collect some documents I've promised for Sachiyo, she needs to update her mapping, Tsuge san came]

*Has Takata san told you?* Takata san is Sachiyo
*oh yes...what's happened with THE party?*
*I said NO*
hehehe..with evil face... something wrong with Ms. Ishiwata?

[we decided to invite Mr. Okada to join us...he is my boss, our boss]

*Yuli, you told him* Tsuge san is throwing responsibility!
*NOOOOO You do it!*

[whispering, he told Mr. Okada over the plan, listen this...]

*oh btw, it is a HEALTHY Karaoke*
huahahahahahhaha......HEALTHY means without escort ladies [got my point?]

so after that, all set, meet up at Comfort Hotel on 8 PM then off to Happy Puppy.

[room 22]
Mr. Okada ordered mostly Indonesian songs, no wonder he speaks nearly perfect Indonesian!
He has nice voice too.
*maybe you can change career now....how bout joining Indonesian Idol*
*ahhhh....AFI will be great*

AFI is somekind of talent show, just like Indonesian Idol

Tsuge san is kind of serious guy...but with microphone in his hand....he becomes different person!
Since he speaks Mandarin, he sang mostly chinese songs...

Sachiyo joined most of all songs....

I lost my voice, after "I Will Survive"

oh....another team member was there, too. Go Kimura, but he was extra quiet that sometimes I forgot he was there *oopsie*

[2 hrs passed]

*hei it's stopped*
*add another hour*
*yeah...as long as you promise to drop me first before return to hotel*

we would go home with taxi, I don't prefer to use taxi alone at nite in Indonesia.

it was fun, amazingly I could see there's something between Tsuge san and Sachiyo...
yeah rite, Sachiyo was teasing Tsuge over Ishiwata issue...hehe...somehow I found them just like my highschool friends hehehe...

Those Japanese...they were so different at nite!

[00:15 AM]
*sometimes HEALTHY Karaoki is good, but I need UNHEALTHY one, too*
that was Tsuge san remarked before we left room 22.

finished the Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo...children story, beautiful.

now i ask you back: how could you go until midnite, and our beloved parents didn't say anything?
tell me, tell me, tell meeeee!!!!!

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
