Shoe shinning



"The way to make a statement without even open your mouth  is with your good pair of shoes."

We are just an Approval Junkie...





I heard that sentence before...in some not-so-old movie.



Maksudnya kurang lebih begini, kalau kita pake baju yang sooooo in-fashion, dan semua orang kayaknya suka, kita bakalan senang. Or in my case, if my work being appreciated, mungkin rasanya lebih dari some beautiful girl comes to you and said, "Hi there, handsome..."

Here's another obsession of mine. Coffee.







Kalau kamu udah minum kopi tanpa gula dan bisa menikmatinya, nah, toss kita!!

* Gak percaya takhayul kado parfum berakibat permusuhan =)



Anyway, what's my list? mmm, yang pernah ada di kamar dari remaja sampe sekarang adalah:

Eternity, Paco Robanne Xs, Davidoff

My bike.

Restoration process.








Honda CB 100 th 1073. Motor tua, gak pantes dibilang koleksi, karena gak terawat-terawat amet. Ga pantes dibilang klasik, karena gak ori-ori amet (pake CDI lagi), pantesnya hanya satu kata. Asik ;P



But, I'm thinking of selling it, and get a bigger one, and perhaps, more older than 73.

Yeaa...parklife. Di Jakarta ada dimana?





sebenernya banyak sih, salah satunya di taman menteng ini.
Lokasinya ada di Menteng, tempat jaman dulu sering dipakai trek trekan mobil ala Fast n furious.
Tapi, on Sunday afternoon, its quite nice.
Matahari gak panas, mobil gak terlalu banyak...not too bad *as in not too polluted our lung*







Ada tempat mainan anak-anak, ada tempat pameran, ada

Ini postingan pertama setelah lama vakum nulis di blog ini.
Apa yang terjadi?
Well... a lot pastinya...tapi for me, this is what i remember so far:

lots of project...
trade in my car for a kick-ass European sedan..(that has fuel consumption 1.66 *sigh)
developing an obsession to Haruki Murakami's writing (I  got all his novels)
Baraka dan Karama makin gede...
New editing system in my office (
