Local Product, Esemka

Few weeks ago, people in Indonesia were busy discussing about Esemka. It is a product name of local car and was made by high school students in Indonesia. It's a kind of family car which could fit up to 8 person at max (well, don't forget that Indonesian mostly have slim body :) ).

The test carried out by local institution confirmed that Esemka is safe to drive. The local government even supported Esemka to grow. They wished for Esemka to be established and well grow in Indonesia. Nonetheless, it is not an easy path to establish local automotive products. Lots of interests involved here. One of the difficult issue is that our government has huge debt to foreigners. They bound to the contract and should support foreign' product growth here. Well, not all contract having win-win solution, right? At least, this is the best that I've known so far. Pitty Esemka. I could do nothing to support their growth, but I wish our government could help it. Let us wait and see the progress. 

Dufan - Indonesia Fantasy World

Dufan or called Dunia Fantasi is the oldest and the biggest play park in Indonesia. It's located in North Jakarta.

I often go there sincere very little, considering it is one of attraction available here. But during weekend the queue is awful. Hate it. Better to go during workdays.

Here is few pictures of Dufan's attraction :

                                                Tornado, my fave!

                                                  One of Dufan' mascot

During weekend, the ticket costs IDR 150,000. Nevertheless, sometimes discount available up to 50%. People should check Dufan first prior to get there.

Carnaval of Dufan' mascot is usually on Sunday afternoon. Besides the mascot, there will be attractive dancers and beautiful flowers in advance. My fave game attraction is Tornado. Two lines of people sitting back to back on the long bar of seats and upon ready, the bar will raise to the sky and turn around to the right and left and up and down,,,haha,,quite dizzy if you close your eyes. I do enjoy this game very much so that directly run for the next queue once finished it :) Do not close your eyes, It will help to reduce our scares.

Besides Tornado, lots of attractive games available too, such as Halilintar, Bainglala, Burung Tempur, Poci2 , etc. For beach lovers, you can go to Ancol. It is a beach near Dufan, still within one location, though you must walk or bring your car to reach it.

Additional information that not everyone knows is that we could buy one middle cup of cold drinks at Starbucks cafe at the entrance of Dufan with friendly price, IDR 10,000 by showing our entry tickets. It's nice, isn't it? :)

Finally, there are lots of attraction that I do not write in here. Should you have free time in Jakarta, do come and see Dufan, and don't forget to use hat. It's really hot there,,,:D

Nana

Do you have a close friend or best friend? Someone close to you and could understand you? Even the distant is far, you can still feel that your heart is close to your best friend's. I do have one.

Coincidentally, I watched Japan dorama, Nana. It directly stuck into my mind. I could only remember one name, after watching that dorama. My best and far away friend, Mia one-chan. I miss you so much one-chan. I know you are far away and is now facing difficulty. Be strong, I am always here for you,,,,I pray for you and hope that someday we could met again.

Graduation Day

I attended my sister graduation day last week. Somehow it remains me of my graduation day. Old memories soaked my mind. 6 Years already passed, and I do appreciate old memories I have. Especially the good one, such as graduation day. Separation with dear friends is not easy, but we all need to move forward. This is life.

Now, me and my friends already spread over. Time surely flies. We do not know what future will bring us. Nevertheless, let us happily face our time, our present, as appreciation for the life experiences God already given :) Be happy, God is always with us :)

Heart Shaped Bread

I found this huge, not too sweet, delicious, crunchy, heart shaped bread in one store near Barcelona Cathedral. Did I write near Barcelona Cathedral? yup,,,yup,,,,I found this delicious bread near Catedral de la Santa Cruz y Santa Eulalia aka Barcelona Cathedral. In one of their beautiful stores. I will share stories about Barcelona next time, ok? :)

The point is that I do really like this simple and huge bread as friend of my journey. Let see its picture here :

Hohoooo,,,,Wel, it's not quite a heart shape anymore, cause I already ate it few bites :)). Do you see little white color spread on the top of the bread? Its sugar. Yet, the taste of the bread is not too sweet, which is good for me. This crunchy bread could last for 3 days. I wish someday I could eat this bread again along with warm tea, in its shop with the beautiful scenery of Barcelona City and Cathedral. Me likey.

Steak !

Holaaa,,,,

This is one of my fave food in the world.

Yeah,,,yeah,,,I like to eat any kind of steak with various sauce. Ribs, tenderloin, etc, etc,,,,hehehe. I'm not quite remember on when I start to like this kind of food. This actually not our native food, but somehow I get used to it ^^.

Last time I went to American Grill restaurant with my cousin and friend at one of shopping mall nearby our home. The restaurant is quite cozy with American style, but I forgot to take interior pictures. At least I did not forget to take picture of the steak :). I thought I choose ribs with barbeque sauce and drink a huge glass of ice tea. The size of the steak is actually not so big. On the plate we got not only steak, but also baked potatoes and few vegetables. I like the texture of the steak. The taste also rich. Additional to the steak, we got free and unlimited appetizer, and dessert. Wuahhhh,,,,like it! especially the desert. The dessert were not really sweet. This is good for me, cause I don't like too sweet dessert which is bad for teeth and get your stomach feeling of fullness. Hahaha,,,,,In general, I like the steak, appetizer and dessert offered in this restaurant. The price is not quite expensive too. Worth to try.

I remember one really affordable steak restaurant in Bandung city. Students like to eat there. Well, its not really a restaurant, it is a tend restaurant, typically Indonesia. It named Road Cafe. I missed to eat there. It located at Cisangkui streest. Famous for its youghurt and steak. Someday I visit Bandung, I shall have a dinner at Road Cafe again.

Fun Jobs

My brother said all the jobs are actually the same. There are no fun job. I hate his statement. How could you said that bro? There should be fun job available in this world!!!! The point is that he tried to explain to me no all happy times at every kind of job. Probably he is right, but still I don't agree.

Check out the food tester, and clown, oh and comedian alsoooo. They seem really enjoy their job and mostly always happy. 

Food tester : This is not mouse, but human (food tester person). Food tester person can eat all food to be tested on their mouth. You do know all good food factory have this division, right? Looks yummy and who can reject free yummy food anyway? ^^. I can't. Bring me free ice cream and choco, baby ^^.

Clown : the clown always happy, and try to make people smiling. They seem enjoy their funny work. Look at their smiling lips, at all day and all time.

Comedian : they always laughing every time. This explain why comedian looks younger and fun.

Though all jobs are seemed the same by my brother, he makes exceptions for artist. Artist is the most enjoyable profession and job in the world, he said. For this one, I'm agree. Artists always do what they want, say what they want to say and create everything they like to do. Argghhhh,,,,,so much fun,,,,,Well, though probably becoming an artist would not make you rich in Indonesia (though few artists in Indonesia becoming very rich too), but west country will of course appreciate artist more.  Should I consider of becoming an artist?....hahahaaa,,,,,me, of becoming curly and sexy artist? jiahahhaa,,,,I really sometimes loose control of myself :D, but probably I will be looked very sexy.

Back to reality, I am just an ordinary typical office worker^^!. I am grateful for my job, but I hate getting difficult tasks. It requires me overtime and it often make me headache!!!!!!!,,,,,argghhh,,,,,no worries, I can handle it, perhaps, if I want to handle it.  Perhaps, if I 'm indeed need to find new solution, sexy artist could be a good choice, followed by food tester person :D,,,yihaaa,,,,,*syndrome of the end of Sunday*
