The Mumbling bubles

The picture

Jadi ceritanya, pas kemarin ke Malang dalam rangka married-an nya putri , karena dari akad (Jam 7-8:30 pagi) ke acara resepsi (11:30-14:30) ada jeda waktu yang lumayan lama dan saya+patjar dearie nggak ngerti mesti ngapain dan kemana selama nunggu, jadilah kami (ehm, atas ide saya) iseng foto ke salah satu studio foto yang udah lama di rekomendasiin si putri. Nama studionya The beverly hills. And it turns out to be quite a challenge. Mulai dari segala kekacauan nyari tempatnya (yang tadinya di Araya dan udah pindah ke Jl.Kalimantan), sampe nego via telpon sama si fotografernya. Karena ternyata yaaaa, mesti booking H-1 untuk sesi foto (mesti janjian dulu sama periasnya) Nah karena saya udah di make up dari jam 7 pagi, jadi gak usah pake make up lagi lah ya, tinggal gegayaan dan difoto aja. Setelah nego-nego, si mbak fotografer baikhati nya menyanggupi request dadakan kami. Jam 10 teng mulai sesi foto, mbak fotografernya mau rapih-rapih dulu katanya :p. Saya+patjar dearie sudah standby dari jam 9:30 setelah hampir sejam muter-muter keliling malang nyari lokasinya. Jam 10 pas kita mulai, dan mbak Dian, fotografernya, super ramah dan supel. Kami yang banci foto ini jadi gak malu-malu gaya dan jadi lebih relaks (Plus kehadiran kaca segede dinding didepan, jadi bisa tau pose -> AMAT membantu ;p). 45 menit photo session terasa amat kurang cukup. Baru kemarin (2 weeks, as they promised), kami dapat kiriman soft copy+fotonya, dalam packaging yang rapih dan safe. And we're satisfied :) Enough said, here's the teaser picture...


My favourite pic...

Dan ini foto yang (saya harap) nanti bisa berguna *ehem* *wink*.. Amiiiinnnn... 



Happy happy !! Ayo kita kumpulkan couple picture biar prewednya murah...!!

The beauties in our own backyards...

If you think these pictures are somewhere in Hawaii,  Thailand or Maldives, or even Caribbean beaches and dive resorts..

















....then you're completely wrong :). From top to bottom, they are:

Pic 1 & 2 : Raja Ampat, Papua, Indonesia. Picture taken from here
Pic 3 & 4 : Wakatobi Island, Sulawesi, Indonesia. Picture taken from here
Pic 5 : The famous Bunaken, Sulawesi, Indonesia . Picture taken from here
Pic 6 : Beaches on Pulau Weh, Indonesia. Picture taken from here
Pic 7 & 8 : Moyo Island, NTT, Indonesia. Picture taken from here
Pic 9 &10: Derawan Island, Borneo, Indonesia. Picture taken from here
Pic 11: Sabang, Aceh, Indonesia. Picture taken from here
Pic 12: Belitong, Sumatra, Indonesia. Picture taken from here
Pc 13:  Mentawai, Indonesia. Picture taken from here

And these are just a small few beautiful beaches from Indonesia, an archipelago country  of 17.508 islands, 6000 of them are inhibited. Go figure how many beaches, diving spots, and surfing spots there are across this country. Go figure how many hidden paradise, waiting to be discovered. Go figure how much potency we have for beach tourism, eco-tourism and resorts.For me, the possibility to find beauties in our own country's backyards seems endless. 

In my "next-to-go" list, probably visiting Bunaken is the most feasible one. Soon... *Crossing finger*


Notes: Why this post only shows beaches? Simply because I just love beach holiday :p. Other potential attraction of my beloved Indonesia will be discussed in another post. Bon Weekend!

Temptation

Alias godaan. Ampun deh, kalau sudah mau deket deket gajian dan lagi browsing browsing, pasti ujung-ujungnya sudah bisa diduga. Nyasar ke blog online shopping semua-serba-ada a la amazon, e-bayrakuten (denger-denger  rakuten ini aslinya di jepun sana, situs ini emang populer banget. Versi Indonesah nya aja udah mampus bikin ngiler). Bosen ngiler, langsung cek baju modis cakep di cotton-ink , ato window shopping wedges nya iwearup ato flats nya wondershoe (Kalo belanja sepatu online saya agak dagdigdug soalnya. Belanja sepatu di dunia nyata aja mesti ditarik si dearie dulu..). Kalo lagi "agak" punya nyali, langsung ngelirik asos ato PCIndonesia..



So far si saya udah pernah pesen sabun cuci muka-nya PC (kalo yang ini emang cuma bisa online, hiks) ,hairpiece dari kanzanshi  dan shawl+baju beberapa kali dari cotton-ink. Ciamik siy produknya, dan cepet pula ngirimnya. Hepi deh. Yang agak grogi pas mau pesen wedgesnya iWearUp. Untungnya happy ending, produknya ngepas di kaki (kaki saya agak "njeber" jadi agak susah cari sepatu. Ini yang bikin si flats cantik dari wondershoe gak muat masuk kaki :p). Satu satunya pengalaman buruk saya belanja online, cuma pas pesen poci tanah liat tegal. Penjualnya packing nya nggak bagus, dan kurir nya nggak hati-hati. Double disaster :(.

Akhir-akhir ini ada godaan baru, yaitu online shop nya si duo sepupu saya. Mana saya masuk ke bb groupnya, dimana update an baju+produknya bisa hampir tiap hari. Glek. Saya by nature bukan tukang belanja baju/sepatu/kosmetik sih ya..bahkan kalo buat belanja baju+sepatu, mesti ditarik-tarik dulu sama si patjar dearie, baru deh saya pergi. Tapi godaan foto-foto baju lucu lewat bb group ini mau gak mau bikin saya ngiler juga.. Akhirnya kebeli deh 1 jumpsuit dan satu baju bordir..Not to be regretted, dua-duanya udah dipake dan bagus... My total damage these last months due to on-line shopping seems increasing. *Dadah dadah ke anggaran buat beli RD...*

Duh, mesti nge blok semua situs belanja online nih kalo gini...T_T

One Fine Day..


30.07.2011



On a sunny, warm weekend..
In a comfy, flower-pattern bed..
What's better than lazying around with your new toy in hand?

Saturday, July 23, 2011

In the end, it's all about our own point of view and perspective...



What do you see in the picture?

Is it an old , bald military man with beard?
Or is it a picture of an old beggar, a mother holding her child and a dog laying at the street?

In the end I believe that whatever big picture we see, it is the matter of perspective and point of view. Of how we perceive something. Of how we want these things to be seen. Sometimes, we only see things we want to see, based on our own point of view. Sometimes, we see different things with other people, regardless it's actually the same picture we see. Different people will have different interpretation over the same picture, and it is not wrong at all. Our background, our experience, our personality, shapes our perspective and point if view into something unique. Something that varies from one person to another. Something diverse, something that makes the world beautiful. Just like how rainbow is beautiful due to its varieties of color. With open minds, these difference point of views can be something enriching. And seeing different things over one same big picture,is not a mistake. At all.

Curiosity kills the cat...

In a way, I think it really is :p

What I love from Batu Secret Zoo (and Museum Satwa) are...


Welcomed by the big, bizarre-neck giffy, in a very clean, well-maintained and informative zoo

Instead of usual rodent, they have the giant one. With cute name.

They got a classroom full of lemur. King Julieeeeeeeeeeen!!


A snow white male peacock who thinks is is more well-groomed than me...

Pond full of pink-ish flamingo, makes you just wanna sit and watch..


A sleeping leopard(?), Ignorant of the oh-so-close-curious-me-taking-pic




A cute bird on our path, walking just like the zoo visitor. Catch!!

A stare game with scary-looking bird...

My Dearie's looking at greedy alpakas. Their woolly hair really does seem comfy. 

The sleeping raccoon. On wheel. Geeze I guess I am not the laziest after all..

A Barn owl that fits on my shoulder...
A fish that looks just odd you want to eat it..

Escaping from the shark..

A prey bird (buzzard?hawk?eagle? I am clueless) that somehow made my Dearie's smile looks odd..

A Bengal Tiger that licks its...err.."that". you know. They're cat too, after all..

...How pink flamingos turns out to be greedy eaters

And the raccoon is shy of me..(boo)

But the Meerkat? No they're not shy. They're friendly, cute and quick!

..The only place where you can about to bite one's tail but the animal still smile:p..

And feeds the African elephants at their meal time..

Is the meerkat smiling, or is it just me hallucinating??

Warning. Birds love hat. And corn seeds. And arms. And good-looking boy :p

Hey! They love hair too! and a good-lookin gal, alrite..

It's a place where you can see brown bear playing around..

And where exotic bird strolls along with visitor..

So does the bengali tiger who loves a good walk..

And the golden tiger who loves lazying around while eyeing us, the prey..

Squads of Mario Bros...

The feeling how how small I am compared to Mr T.Rex

And super cute stegosaurus that my dearie can pose with

Beautiful, well-maintained and Informative collection 



Oh how we just turns into lil' kids again...

In front of the grandiose, in fresh-chilled Batu afternoon air..

Overall, we're two happy kids! And definitely we'll come again!!



They say, a picture says a thousand words. These pictures says what i want to says about Jatim Park II : the Secret Zoo and Museum Satwa. It's way exceeding my expectation (And as a grumpy demanding customer I do have a quite high standards of a place's decency, mind you). Too bad we didn't hop in the giant Ferris Wheel. But the air is too chilly for both of us. I know, I know, we're old :p
