I didnt realise, that it is almost 1 semester now. Sorry I didn’t write that much (which means good) because i’ve been spending my time working on uni projects. And this week was the madest of all, 3 days, 3 presentations! And they’ve passed, they were all good! So it is one more week left in this semester, i still have to do the printed artworks and printed documents. At least i don’t have to worry about presentations no more.

1 week for now, is apartment hunting, job seeking, and moving….and the waiting (for the baby).

Well it’s good to be back. We’ll post more soon…

Wah skrg anak-ku alhamdulillah dah msk minggu ke 29, dah semakin besar, insya allah sbntr lg msk 7 bln ya…udh banyak bgt tingkah laku yg dibuat, salah satunya main “petak umpet” sama papa-nya , lucu bgt! contoh umpanya si anak lagi gerak2 niy didlm perut..trus ntr papa-nya suka manggil sm megang..eh!dia-nya ngilang loch! diem aja, dicuekin hahahahhaha, ntr kl coba dipegang lg..eh dia diem lg…trus pas tangannya dah dilepas dr perut eh gantian! dia gerak2 lagi hahahaa….kasian bgt dikerjain…abis papa-nya suka jail siy…mknya gantian d dijailin, atau biasanya si anak lg diem anteng, trus papa-nya suka bergumam gt didktin ke perut..anaknya ttp diem aja, tp ntr giliran papa-nya dah ga gangguin, dia gerak2 lagi..kesannya kyk “mo ngajak main lagi” hehehhehe…uuuuuh gemezzzzzz!

A day in Brunswick st….this is where, we found the arch enemy of Max Brenner….
San Churro. Who could resist the smell of chocolate, which polluting the surrounding air when you are passing the shop. Chocolate fountains by the display…

I ordered The classic…thick hot chocolate for deasy, hot white chocolate for me, and of course the house specialty…churros with chocolate dip. The thick hot chocolate is a must try! and also the churros…

So…Max Brenner in the blue corner….San Churros in the red corner…let’s get ready to rrruuummbbbllleeeee!!!!

Ding ding!!

Setelah hampir 4 bln disini, kita coba berbagai eksperimen masakan…salah satu-nya menu kita buat sarapan,biar ber-variasi aja …This is “Deasdira Breakfast Menu” :
Toast with nutella, scramble egg (telornya diksh keju sm susu) with toast, cereal with milk and this is the new one “Pancake with nutella ala Andira”…minumnya kl Andi Greentea..kl aku Hot Choco..nyameee!

Today was the the world premiere of Jakarta Undercover (and what i’ve meant with world premiere is the first time it had been played outside Indonesia). The version was the same one as the JIFFest one, the uncut version. There are 3 sessions today. The 2pm, 5pm and the 7pm. We went to to the first session, in the RMIT Capitol Theater (holds 650 people). There were about 250-300 people in the first session. From what I’ve heard from Jessa/Marianne (the coordinator) the last 2 sessions, are sold out!

The movie itself, I would rank them 4 stars overall. I’d rank Jalangkung II with the same stars. Fachri Albar was good, playing transvestite. Lukman Sardi, playing a sex disorderd psycho, was 180degree of the real Lukman. Kinda creepy. I’d give 5 stars for Luna Maya, she gave all the power she had in this movie, and turned out very, very good. Standing applause for kenishiro, who played a 6 year old autismatic (am i using the right word?) brother of Luna Maya. But the most outstanding performance was by that person who acted as a TV operator besides Farhan, yes…Andira Pramanta…hhahhahahaha.

As for the executive producer, Erwin Arnada, keep up the good work, and long live Indonesian Film!

Udah lama gak bertemu memang. dan dalam rangka acara pemutaran film. Mantan bos kita, mas EA dateng ke Melbourne, bersama film cast nya yang terakhir. Tadinya sih mau ketemuan di Max Brenner, tapi karena katanya dingiiiinn sekali akhirnya kita janjian lagi ketemu malem di FedSquare.

Abis kita makan malam dirumah, kita langsung jalan ke FedSquare (naik trem sih). Terus kita sms mas EA -
Deasy : “Mas, kita udah otw, mau duduk yang dimana?”
EA : “Dimana aja deh des, yang penting deket heater”

Imagine this.

You have a band, and you’re always playing Dave Matthews Band songs for the last few years back. Then you finally got your chance too see them…playing live!

That’s what happened to me. Lucky me that the tour was postponed for like 3 weeks, a friend of mine did not go to the concert, because he simply couldn’t. So, he sold 2 tickets to us, for like…75% off, “it’s for your wedding present”. Swweeeeetttt!!!
