imagination day

today is Isra Mi'raj, a moslem holiday in our country.
after a bad night sleep, I decided to make my day.
Brought my Mom for a hair do around 9 AM
on the way home I passed Odiva, a chain video rental on Sultan Hasanuddin.
It is not cheap, but anyway... I'm to lazy to stroll around on pirated DVDs.
Chose several title, I went back and start to watch.

First: Bridget Jones' Diary (1 & 2)...what a laugh, I remember a friend of mine during her 'single without boyfriend phase' was so influenced by this movie...too bad, it sells too much dreams. Nevertheless it is still a good mood lifter.~seeing Reneé Zellweger in that size, really convince me to watch my weight...hehe...
Next: Banyu Biru (indonesian movie) a long and slow plot, just a bit surprising when he woke up and realized it was a dream...
and just now I finished Finding Neverland a really beautiful piece on Peter Pan in the making.
I love Depp in this movie, I can't wait to see him in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, specially it is also a Tim Burton movie, I expect something marvelous just like Big Fish.
After Edward the Scissorhands and this I suppose Jhonny Depp is committed to movies of imaginations.

I wonder if I should rent some more tomorrow...will pass by and see...

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
