Closer to 30

Icha — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 15:33:42 +0000

I turned 26 last tuesday. Funny how i almost typed 30, and for a couple seconds i didn’t realize what was wrong. Does age really matter? I find myself still behaving like i’m 21, and in a similar manner i see people a lot older than me behaving the same way. I think at some point we all just hit a plateau in maturing and that’s perfectly fine. Who dictates what we should and shouldn’t do at such and such age anyway?

In any case, I had a nice birthday. Grateful that I was able to spend it with family back in Jakarta, and for friends who wished me happy birthday through facebook, twitter, sms, bbm… Geez, technology does make things a lot easier doesn’t it? even when I live halfway around the world from most of my friends…

My sister got me a litle pistachio chocolate cake! It was yummy :9 A tiny one because it was just the three of us. My brother and dad were off to Cambodia that week.

Little baby cousin

Only 3 months old, the newest addition to the family member. Welcome Mikaella!

Her tiny little hands

This is a picture of my cousin’s dining room that i just love! Does it not scream perfect lazy sunday afternoon? I especially love the faint blue grey paint against the white window frames and that delicate curtains. Also the glass table, the white leather chairs and the touch of color from the yellow orchid. Ok, fine, i loved everything in this picture!

Photos backlog

One perk of working at an advertising agency is that you sometimes get invited to client events! These are the two recent ones I got to go to:

Johnnie Walker JetBlack @ The White Rabbit

Cool event with free flow of JW all night and entertaining Brazillian dancers + flamethrowers.

Heineken Green Room 8 Bit Blitz @ Old Kallang Theater

A bit dead at the start, but as the night progresses it started going. Then again Green Room events are meant to be for underground music lovers with specific taste.

Downloaded an awesome photo processing app.

It’s a korean photo app that lets you play aroubd with different cameras and films, so the resukt comes out all artsy and pretty! I combine this with phototreat to give them an extra oomph :)

Been trying to upload more samples but wordpress app is being a bitch. So head on over to my tumblrinstead if you want ro see more!

Let’s try mobile blogging again

Icha — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 10:22:26 +0000

Clearly my previous attempt at mobile blogging didnt go very well. Let’s try again, this time with the iPhone

I started this blog well over three years ago. It’s a bit startling to find that in that short time, a lot of the things i wrote about no longer holds true. Makes me wonder if anything i’m currently going through will still be relevant three years from now. Such a scary yet liberating thought isn’t it?

But i’m still lucky enough to have some things, people, that remaims true. My family and my bestfriend Kat. Most people don’t even have that.

Oh, the things i think about at 2:28am, when i’m supposed to be at work in 7 hours time.

365 project fail

Icha — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 13:09:38 +0000

Yeah, so as you can see I attempted a 365 project. That is, one photo per day for one whole year. Except the idea doesn’t work so well when I spend most of my time in an office and always forgets to bring my camera to lunch, the only time during the day that I step out of the office. Regardless, I actually do take at least one picture a day, just that I feel they are not really photos worth posting (like do you really want to know what I had for lunch?)

In any case, I’ll switch my goal this year to something more realistic… blog at least once a week! Since my blackberry has wordpress apps now, I should be able to blog more often :)

I also want to bring your attention to the big earthquake in Haiti, as I’m sure most of you are already aware. Haitian need our help now, more than ever. The next time you are out buying something that isn’t of absolute necessity, consider donating it instead (Try asking yourself: do you really need a new pair of shoes? do you really have to choose that pricier entree at dinner? Or that calorie-ridden starbucks coffee?). My favorite place to donate is Global Giving (link is on the sidebar), but of course you can choose other charities as well.

Anyway, thank you for listening to my rambling and I hope you are having a great day! :)

posting from blackberry

Icha — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 06:26:03 +0000

Testing the wordpress app I’ve just installed on blackberry. Looking pretty cool so far, except I wish there is more control for pictures (ability to specify sizes we want to resize, where to add pics, etc). I had to go and edit this post on the dashboard since 640×480 is too big for my layout.

In any case, let me share you what I had for lunch:

Nasi padang. A bit sweeter than what I’m used to back home, but it’s alright. I’m going through this phase of missing foods from LA today… Like Chipotle chicken burrito, boston market, bibimpap from tofu-ya, etc.
