Pekalongan

I had to do the morning journey again but this time not with a big group but all by myself. This time went to Pekalongan, 5 hours with the train, for Mona's engagement party. Mona's engagement party was great. It was just like a wedding party plus dance performances But I didnt like the performances, that's why I didn't take many pictures of the party. And lots of door prizes .That was actually my first engagement party with door prizes. None of us (mona's colleagues and college friends) won the prizes hehehe

I bought some batiks and wanted to start collecting them.

Karaoke time at Inul vizzta

spent weekend in sari Pan Pacific Hotel, courtesy of dian. and then went karaoke-ing at Inul Vizzta. spent 4 hours there singing, laughing and sleeping.

Emier (aka Amiet) 's farewell party and festival Jajanan Bango

Emier aka amiet has left us for good. He is now working as civil servant. Poor you Emier heheheheh.
After the small farewell party, I went to Bango food festival with Sandra and Mbak Anti. Yummyyyyy ( imagine my face with grinning face full of happiness), my favourite event heheheh. I tried sambal setan mbah jingkrak. yiaaaahhhhh puedessssssssss

Pemilihan Abang None Jakarta Selatan

Sandra's brother was one of the finalists so she asked us to be supporters.Fine, yelling is my speciality hi hi hi.

Very bad event if I may give comment.1 and half hour late than the schedule because the committee was waiting for the Major of Jakarta Selatan. Very unprofessional and annoying.

The opening dance performance was awful. I don't know what was the intended of the director with those dances. bad dancers, cheap mix dances. There was no garis merah of the whole performance. traditional dance and marching band. ?????? what was he thinking?

the only entertaining performance was from Elfa Singers band and choirs. Fabulous.

ps: We met Tukul whom Yolla adores so much. A very nice person and a down to earth celebrity.

Asian Cup: Indonesia-Bahrain: 2-1

Ini kandang kita means this is our turf was a national slogan to support the Indonesian team

My colleagues and I got the VIP tickets from ING Bank to watch the match between Indonesia and Bahrain at the Asiap Cup 2007. It was a really fine experience to be able to watch the match in the VIP seats. It was also actually my first experience in watching football game. My nationality proud suddenly raised up as I saw the crowds with their red and white t-shirts. Seeing a huge Indonesian flag was really a touching moment for all of us. The crowd kept singing and singing during the game.

Men say that the Indonesian supporters are the most dynamics among all football supporters in the world. Why? because Indonesian people dont have a job so they have enoug energy to support the team with their songs and dancing thorughout the match. I dont know if its a joke or for real hehehehehe.

Indonesia won with 2-1.

But I guess I am not a good photographer. I missed to take the goals pictures as I was very much excited when the goals were made.

It was a really good game. Both teams were giving their best efforts.
I enjoyed my first experience watching a live football game.

Thanks to Pak Irwan Habsjah, Mr. Rob Scholten, and also to Mbak Harlen from ING Bank Indonesia.

note: a must see is the gigantic poster to support the Indonesian team near the Gelora Bung Karno complex.

(Indonesia is one of the four host cities for this year's AFC Asian Cup. Launched on 19 June, the culturally themed campaign of ‘Ini Kandang Kita!' or ‘This is our turf' aims to drive national pride and boost support amongst the Indonesian football fans for their national team.

The logo, featuring a nationalistic Garuda symbol and the campaign slogan, will be stamped on walls and streets, acting as territorial markers to attract youths' attention and heighten patriotism amongst football fans. A series of outdoor visuals, which were drawn from a traditional Indonesian folklore called the Legend of Bharatayudha, have also been launched and features Indonesian football players Ponaryo Astaman, Bambang Pamungkas and Elie Aiboy.)(www.marketing-interactive.com)
