Three Girl Playing Violin at Plaza Indonesia
November 16, 2009
I enjoy good music, especially when it’s live. Now the three dressed violinists that are brushing their strings in Plaza Indonesia on Saturday evening have certainly bring it. What’s new to me is to see violins as instruments to bring nowadays hits. Well, probably it’s just me.
They’re good, especially the second one from the right (plus point for the nice little dress).
Jakarta Architecture Triennale 2009: Affording Architecture
November 16, 2009
On Saturday I and art director, Sonny were roaming some malls in Jakarta (Plaza Indonesia and Grand Indonesia) to garner some pictures for our ongoing project. While I was in Grand Indonesia I bump into this architectural exhibition called Jakarta Architecture Triennale 2009: Affording Architecture. From what I read, this is the first triennial event to celebrate architecture in Indonesia (then why is it called Jakarta Architecture Triennale when it is definitely triennial?). Well whatever.
The exhibition displays a fresh perspective of architectural creativity, even though they conveyed it through flimsy and half-finished mock-ups (several of the concept doesn’t have any mock-up at all) or maybe that’s exactly the way they gonna build it?
You never know how…

It’s been a year plus since I set foot in Singapore to have my tenth job interview in advertising. A week before that I was staying in a small flat in Whitechapel, London, gravely looking for a job in town through a daunting downturn economic crisis. Well, not to say coming back empty handed, I was through several cool part-time jobs and meeting a bunch of nice people (that’s priceless).
Since December 2008, I was in a job of writing for ads in Singapore for 6 months and plus (plus all of those OTs and weekends). Having a love and hate relationship with it, I tried to get far from it, but then I was dragged back to write some more as now I’m doing so in my birthplace, Jakarta.
It’s not my intention nor to my enjoyment to really jobbing around in Jakarta (not to mention nasty wages, traffic jam and still all of those OTs) but you never know where you could be in the next few days. You could be in Tokyo selling fishes next month. So I’d just hold on to that.
Anyway, this is a start. This is my story, your story, probably his or hers and everything that revolves around us.
