I Love You, Papa

Happy 60th birthday, papa.. :)

Today is 22-02-2012 and it's my dad's birthday. If you like the number 2.., then you'll like today. hehehe... You know, number 2 is unique and fun. It's the only prime even number. Anyway.., enough about the number. On my dad's birthday, it happened that my dad is fasting. At the same time, it's on Ash Wednesday too.. so I'm abstaining too. And therefore, there was no big celebration what so ever, even tho it's his big six zero. We were celebrating it in a very simple way but intimate. Just 4 of us- my dad, mom, me, and my cousin Andre. It was good.. we had a lot of things to talk about.


As in for me..., I'm simply thankful for having a father like my dad. Someone that I can looked up as he is wise, liberal, and very patient. Ou not to forget, a good listener too. So.. here's for you, dad.. Cheers for you.. and Happy Birthday.. I wish you all the best in all !!!

Faces of Yogyakarta

Other than its artifacts and nature, Yogyakartans fascinated me as well. Yes, I love taking candid photos of people. I love to see their expressions. I think I can create new character for them... and story too... but that will make it fiction. For now, I will just show the pics without wordings. And I know this may not represents  the entire Yogyakartans (as Yogya is a city), but I just like to see humbleness in photos :) And ou I add a pic of a cat too.. ups

Introducing INGE

Inge is my best friend. We knew each other through a friend of ours, Merlin. At the beginning, we started hanging out as church buddies. Both of us doesn't really have regular company for Sunday morning mass.

After church time, we normally spending time eating out, enjoying high tea, and meandering the city. Since Inge has lived in Shanghai for longer time than I do, she knows more about the off beaten path too (well.., actually, she's naturally know that kind of stuff). Inge is a really FUN person to hang out with. I can talk to her about anything... and by anything.. it really means ANYTHING. From the smartest things to the dumbest and even weirdest stuffs. So.. YES, we really enjoy each others company.

Before I met her, I actually heard a lot about her sportiness (aka awesomeness). She's adventurous kind of girl and really really love to do outdoor activities. And therefore, she's the one who directly/ indirectly push me to do more daring stuffs. It began with running for breast cancer research, for which I never done before. And that was just the beginning of our adventures. To cut it short, she's basically help me to conquer my own fear and to become a happier person.

For all those reasons (plus many more), I really cherish her as my best best friend and I miss her dearly... (am truly hoping that Jordan trip will happen, hence we can rock Jordan together)
