I love to take a journey by train. There’s something magical about it that I can’t explain. Perhaps Duke Ellington can do it better than I do through the notes (and while I like the B/W version, some of you might like the color version).

Hanging out with Budi and Arvinda after work some time in 2009.

I’ve noticed some strange shift in my recent pastime habit. Sketching, drawing, reading books, watching movies were my old pastime. Now, the list shift to wandering around the city, walking through some unknown streets, taking pictures, doodling, handcoding some HTML and CSS (yes, a geek). You can add playing with my daughter as the latest pastime and while sleeping is not actually an “active”-ity it remains my all time favourite.

My favourite place in Lembang where I can have a delicious grilled chicken. Be careful though, it’s spicy.

These pictures were taken in early 2009 when my wife was still pregnant. Sorry, no pictures of the chapel itself. We just thought that it’s a beautiful place with fresh air, something we won’t find in the city. If you’re nearby you should visit this place. You can also follow them on Tumblr and Facebook.

If you’re hungry, there is Ayam Brebes nearby, but that’s another story.

I will be moving to a new home real soon. It’s a small house in a very interesting neighbourhood. I can see myself walking around in the morning and in the evening with a camera and a few rolls of film. It’ll be a new chapter in my life after spending more than 30 years in downtown. It’ll be an exciting new experience.

I also move my old blog archives to here and there.
