Avanza Returns

you can see in the pic, my car is now restored in its original condition. thanks to Wawan H. Prabowo, a KOMPAS reporter, who has a great gentlemanship. he is the one which made this repairs possible.

you might curious to know where he made the repairs. it was a "classic" workshop, but the owner has a special technique on mixing car paints. the workshop named "Janto", located in Gedong Kuning, just south of Rejowinangun intersection, in front of Fajar Mobil. the repair costs around Rp. 450.000 (so does Nascomo, Astra), but the paint quality is exceptionally good. the new paint match exactly as the previous one.

feel free to talk to the owner, he is a nice fellow to talk to. as the idiom said, "never judge a book by its cover". the idiom describes this workshop very well.

Overwhelmed with Handbags!

yesterday afternoon, one cabinet-sized package has just arrived. oh dear, it was one of the biggest package fully loaded with handbags. as you can see in the pic, I was quite "overwhelmed" with the handbags. processing on each item is quite time-consuming, I even hadn't had the chance to take pictures on those items.

curious on the items? I shall have it uploaded to Prestise by tomorrow.

E-Government Summit 2006

It was a great annual event, held by Warta Ekonomi on September 14, 2006, in Inna Garuda Hotel Yogyakarta. I was very much looking forward for this event, because it (originally) presents the Governor of DIY Province and Fadel Muhammad (governor of Gorontalo Province). I also love the theme, "Reformasi Birokrasi dengan Teknologi Informasi". unfortunately, Fadel Muhammad was not present. yes, I'm not saying this event is great because of the food :)

Despite of the boring beginning, it has a very glamorous ending, which is the ceremonial of e-government award. It has great lighting effect, and great soundsystem (they use Rocky's soundtrack). This was the first time I saw Jaya Suprana as the master of ceremony. he conducted in a fun and relaxed manner, filled with small jokes.

on my way out, they give away merchandises. they give away the most recent Warta Ekonomi magazine, and also a Cisco t-shirt. again, unfortunately, the shirt is not suited for my size :D

The Haircut

Lala is having her pony cut. she is enjoying every step of the process. checkout the pic. the pic is taken through the mirror, so you can guess where the haircut is done :)

Wonderful Weekend

I just had one of the most wonderful weekend. on Saturday, I started my long delayed hobby, Fitness and Swimming! Bunda Lala is now joining the fitness club in Novotel also. Since Lala will be in school until afternoon, we will be freely enjoying doing fitness together :)

as always, on Monday we spend half of the day in UGM, accompanying Bunda Lala selling the handbags. of course, my task was to accompany Lala. Its not "a walk in UGM", since I have to carry her :) I had a very stiff muscles, but it felt great, because Lala was very happy, not even cried or upset.

in the afternoon, we were back again in Novotel. but this time, its swimming time for Lala! checkout the pictures, she was very happy and excited to get started. at first, she's happy playing with the water, but unfortunately, the water is very cold, she is freezing. she finished very early. after the swim, suprisingly, Lala ate plenty of food. I guess the swim made her very hungry.



Its another great weekend, looking forward to swim again with Lala next week.
