Bear with me

Bear with me...

I will write again soon....

When I have settled down, right now I feel like I'm in the middle of the road waiting for the right time to move and act..

Yes, I will be leaving my home for 30 years to a new home in just days away, 3 days away to be exact. Changes is not easy, especially leaving my comfort zone for 30 years, but I'm fully ready for this new journey, the journey to find a new home and build new family with the love of my life.

Bear with me...

Canberra Photo

I am delighted to let you know that our photo has been selected for inclusion in the newly released sixth edition of Schmap Canberra Guide:

Mount Ainslie
www.schmap.com/canberra/introduction_history/p=126317/i=126317_6.jpg

At first we plan to do hiking from down the hill up to the top, but out of laziness oops I mean not enough time and the barrier from the cold winter weather, we decided to just enjoy the view from the top, like the one on the photo here :)

Yup, that is my back and Sam took this photo but with my camera so it's our photo!

Sneak peek

Therry tagged me to post my working desk's photo. I say it's not a very good idea as my working desk always messy with papers and other things.

But I'm a brave girl, so here it is.... sneak peek to my working desk at the office:


Nothing interesting to see right, I only have 1 photo on the left side of my computer. Anita & Melly gave it to us after girls holiday in Bali to celebrate their hen's night.

Such a plain and boring working desk eh.

Yarra Valley

Proudly to announce that my photo has been selected for inclusion in the newly released sixth edition of Schmap Melbourne Guide:

Yarra Valley
http://www.schmap.com/melbourne/sights_panorama/#p=79032&i=79032_13.jpg

Never think that my amateur photo taken by amateur digital camera is considered good enough to appear in the guide site.

I'm so excited to take some beautiful photos from my next holiday destination, and hopefully they will select our Canberra photo as well.

PS. No, they didn't pay me for the photo, but I still proud of it because of the recognition.

Malaysian fatwa agency forbids Yoga for Muslims

Taken from The Jakarta Post

An authority on religious affairs in Malaysia has issued a fatwa saying Yoga is forbidden for Muslims.

The fatwa, announced by the National Fatwa Agency on Saturday, deems Yoga incorporates physical movements, musical sounds, singings and adorations that are not inline with Islamic teachings.

The agency said that the fatwa was not legally binding and that it would only serve as a formal opinion representing members of Muslim community in Malaysia. According to the latest census report, currently there are about 27 million Muslims in the country or about two-third of the total population.

The controversy about Yoga in the largely Muslim populated country became a public attention recently, following a statement of a lecturer at the Malaysia National University, Zakaria Stapa, which said that Yoga is an element of Hindu teachings and that it could affect the faith of Yoga practicing Muslims.

He argued that Yoga distances Muslims from Islam.

In response to his statements, a civil society group -- Malaysian Muslim Solidarity Movement --- launched a counter argument saying that Yoga is only a type of sports and adapted by Muslim to the betterment of health.

They gotta be kidding me, this joke is not funny at all. I'll be damned if Indonesia forbids Yoga too. It's just another form of sport for God sake!

Random question

Who is your pick:

Angelina Jolie or Jenifer Aniston?

And why?

How well do you know your home town?

Above question hounted me for weeks, started when a friend of mine asking about good restaurant in Tasikmalaya (my hometown) for her colleagues when she's visiting the town for colleague's wedding. And I can't give her a proper answer for that simple thing.

And last week another Dinar asked the same question when she has to go to Pangandaran Beach for work and she and her colleagues plan to stop and have a meal somewhere in Tasik. And I can't give a proper answer again, my answer was there are a lot of restaurants on the way back to Bandung from Tasik and you can choose one of them in fact I know NOTHING about restaurant down there. This is the place I called home town and I spent 2 years for my high school there, I know NOTHING about good restaurant there, shame on me!

To be honest I never dine out while I was in Tasikmalaya because my mom and grandma will cook for us, so if I dine out that will be for Bakso (meat ball) Laksana famous bakso place in Tasik or bakso Mang Eman (near my grandma's area) I don't know why but bakso is a populer snack/meal in Tasik, bubur Zaenal (you have to get up early and quieing there because it usually sold out at 10 am) and during Lebaran holiday the place will be packed with people from all over and most of the cars are from Jakarta.

Beside restaurants, I know limited tourist things in Tasikmalaya. I know where to buy handicraft, I know where Mt Galunggung is, although I couldn't remember when was the last time I was there, and I've been to Pangandaran beach but that also long time ago. So if one asked me what to do and where to go in Tasikmalaya, I only can name Pangandaran beach and the volcano, other than that I have no idea. Shame shame on me.

I tried to look up on the internet and not much information either, so next time I was down there I have to be really look around and have better knowledge on things to do or where to go, so when one asks me about Tasikmalaya I can give them comprehensive answer :)).

Dinar was born and grew up in Jakarta so her hometown is Jakarta but she never been to Monas, so much knowledge for what so called hometown huh?

I guess we tend to take for granted on what we have now.

So, how well do you know your home town?

Well pardon me for having big boobies!

One said women who define themselves by the size of their breasts are intellectually challenged, ibu2 arisan, tukang gosip, unsatisfied in bed, bitchy, have no lives.. LOL...

Well as you all know, my blog is not a niche blog.. niche blog is a blog that represent to the world about your brain capacity.. the author always write about intellectual stuff.

Since I'm no brainy and I'm content with my breasts, I might as well justify that even more with these situation..

Enjoy folks....


Is it because of the breasts or because they're blond or because they're pretty or simply because they're women?

Ah we live in a mysterious world, aren't we :)

Ink me, not

My latest obsession are tattoo shows, will that be Miami Ink, LA Ink, London Ink or Tattoo wars. Those tattoo artists are doing one hell of jobs, the art is amazing and there is no boundary in doing so. You can go all the way, and sometimes people are willing to get really hurt in the name of art.

Angelina Jolie is famous for her tattoos, she even made coordinates tattoo where are her kids came from.

A Difference of Opinion
Some Americans with tattoos say they feel sexier (34%) and more attractive (26%). Many who don't have tattoos, however, think people who do have them are less attractive (42%), more rebellious (57%) and less intelligent (31%). [Source: Harris Interactive]

How tattoo works?
Artists create tattoos by injecting ink into a person's skin. To do this, they use an electrically powered tattoo machine that resembles (and sounds like) a dental drill. The machine moves a solid needle up and down to puncture the skin between 50 and 3,000 times per minute. The needle penetrates the skin by about a millimeter and deposits a drop of insoluble ink into the skin with each puncture.
A tattoo machine involves a magnetic vibrator driving the needle up and down.



How Much Does it Hurt?
People describe the sensation of getting a tattoo as similar to bee stings, sunburn or being pinched. Some say they experience a slight tickling or "pins and needles." Individual pain tolerance, the size and type of tattoo, and the skill of the artist all contribute to the amount of pain. Location also makes a difference -- skin that rests right over a bone is more sensitive.

I don't know how hurt bee stings can be, and I never had any sunburn before because of my dark skin tone. But one thing I know that it's hurt to get injection from 1 needle, and puncture between 50 and 3,000 times per minute mast be damn painful.

A friend told me that once you get a tattoo you can't stop and you will get another and another and another, it's like you miss the pain and it's some kind of addiction. Same thing like piercing.

I know a guy who started his tattoo with his daughter's name on his right upper arm, and now he almost cover his back with tattoo.

Some people choose to use their entire body as a canvas. Others use tattoos and surgeries to shift their appearance from human to animal.













And as for me? Do I want to get tattoo?

Nah, I'm too wuss to have one. I can't bare the pain, so I'll just enjoy the art and the show.
