Bandung: Taman Lansia | Senior Citizen Park

DSCF1461

First time after years didn’t go to this place for meeting friend and found most of the place improved with flower & decoration plants sellers everywhere. It looks nice but still couldn’t find place to sit in rainy days like nowadays. Forget the rubbish as well! We still found rubbish but it’s better than used to.

Yogyakarta: Ullen Sentalu Museum | Museum Ullen Sentalu

DSCF1234

I never been to this place before but I have a lot of recommendation about this place from many friends. If you like Javanese history then you will like this museum. As museum lover, I really like it especially you will be accompanied with a tour guide with small number visitors. The buildings, decoration, pictures and photos also very gorgeous as well. However, taking pictures is not allowed inside the museum.

DSCF1199
People who tries to reach Buddha’s hand to get blessing. Anyway it is forbidden to climb over the candi!!

Candi Borobudur and Candi Mendut have their own appeal. These pictures below are random pictures when visiting both place 2 weeks and I feel bad if not shared them in this blog :)

Candi Borobudur dan Candi Mendut memiliki daya tarik tersendiri. Foto-foto ini di bawah ini adalah gambar acak ketika mengunjungi kedua tempat tersebut 2 minggu yang dan saya merasa buruk jika tidak membaginya dalam blog ini :)

Jakarta: Senayan Archery Club | Klab Memanah Senayan

DSCF1628

Sabotage my Yogyakarta post for this one for a while! :) Located near the largest sport stadium in Jakarta finally I joined this archery cub with friends from Goodreads Indonesia. This is second sport together we took after went to the shooting club. I did actually abusing my hand couple times but I don’t blame my hind elbow because being so un-proportional with this kind of sport. Honestly more enjoyed taking pictures the scenery and friends :p

Saya menyabotase tulisan Yogyakarta sejenak untuk yang satu ini ! :) Terletak di dekat stadion olahraga terbesar di Jakarta akhirnya saya bergabung dengan klab panahan ini dengan teman-teman dari Goodreads Indonesia. Ini adalah olahraga bersama kedua kami setelah pergi ke klub menembak. Melukai siku tangan dalam beberapa kali kesempatan karena bentuk tangan yang tidak begitu sesuai dengan jenis olahraga ini (ngga terlalu mikirin juga sih). Jujur saja lebih menikmati mengambil gambar pemandangan dan teman-teman :p

Tidak ada bosan-bosannya ke Yogyakarta tanpa mengunjungi Candi Borobudur dan Candi Mendut. Tempat yang menakjubkan dengan pemandangan yang indah.

Yogyakarta: Coffee Adventure (Part 2) | Petualangan Kopi (Bagian 2)

DSCF1427

Epic Coffee & Epilog Furniture is a combination between coffee place and furniture shop. This kinda weird but it also cool combination in the same time. Although the coffee a little bit pricey (especially the meals) but it is ok to see all export quality furnitures just like in the museum.

Epic Kopi & Epilog Furniture adalah kombinasi antara tempat kopi dan toko furniture. Ini kombinasi yang agak aneh tapi juga keren dalam waktu yang sama. Meskipun kopinya sedikit mahal (terutama makanannya) tapi oke juga untuk melihat semua mebel kualitas ekspor seperti di museum.

I am playing with my camera, Fujifilm X10 since they have updated new firmware. I am glad bought this camera 2 years ago and the photo colour produced is always very beautiful. Tested it out using advanced filter (partial colour blue) for the sky and clouds (not a big fan filtered photos honestly) and the landscape also watershed looks AMAZING!

Borneo: A Glance of West Kalimantan | Sekilas Kalimantan Barat

I know it’s been ages ago since I posted pictures about fieldwork. Last time probably about my preference and friends on field clothes. We just went survey to Kapuas Hulu last month and on our way back home we traveled through Putussibau and Pontianak. Here below are some photos selection during the trip. Photo above is a peat lake in Kapuas Hulu, an area in the middle of Danau Sentarum National Park and Betung Kerihun National Park. Look at the mirror reflection from the water lake! Black water made it fantastically beautiful and eerie in the same time. Most pictures below here are from my Galaxy Note. I love it since BW mode give more strength to the most photos even more than coloured one.

Bandung: A Night with BCN | Semalam Bersama BCN

DSCF1079
BCN or Braga Culinary Night, Satnite culinary festival in Bandung my hometown. A great place to hangout with old fellas despte too crowded and struggling to find any authentic Sundanese food (forget about the price as well! it is higher than usual). The good thing I love walking through Braga Street. In the evening it is so much different than in day time with the old builidings.
