Bali Holiday 2019 - Day 1

During the March school term break, we set off on a family holiday to Bali.  It’s been 4 years since our last trip to Bali back in 2015 and we were eagerly looking forward to this trip.  For this trip I was fully armed to the teeth, carrying my A7R2, a Batis 2/25, a newly acquired FE16-35mm F2.8 GM and also a newly acquired DJI Osmo Mobile 2.

Just feeling wacky and I thought I'll share this video. 😝😝😝

Getting down & dirty with a Procyon Lotor
Got no people skills but he's good with motors
That weird thing by his side, an infantilized sequoia
The two of them walk by, people say "Oh-boya!"

They ask me why I'm bringing, a baby into battle
That's really irresponsible and getting them rattled
I said "Give me a break, get off my back damn it!"
I didn't learn parenting my daddy was a planet!!

Zardu Hasselfrau,  Zardu Hasselfrau, HEY!
Zardu Hasselfrau,  Zardu Hasselfrau, HEY!

In these times of hardship, just remember...
We
Are

Tokyo Business Trip March 2019

Here’s my first entry for Marvelous March - Dang, I missed to write an entry for "Fabulous Feburary"....  Anyway, I just returned from a work trip to Tokyo where I visited Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha’s HQ for some briefings along with one of my bosses.

元宵节快乐

Today is the last day of Chinese New Year, which marks the 1st 15th day of the first month in lunar calendar, also known as Yuan Xiao Jie (元宵节).  Aside from 元宵节, this day is also known as the Lantern Festival Day (which should not be confused with the mid-Autumn lantern festival) and Chinese Valentine's Day while in Indonesia we'll go with the term "Cap Go Meh".  And what makes today's celebration super special is the appearance of a Super Moon which shines very brightly tonight. 

And that's the Super Moon tonight - X-T2 + XF55-200mm F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS

Jakarta Chinese New Year Trip – Day 4: 春到大地 & Day 5

And here we are on Chinese New Year Day.  We started the day by wishing my parents a happy new year first.  So my siblings and my family gathered in my parents' room to wish them a happy new year.

Jakarta Chinese New Year Trip – Day 3

Day 3 was New Year’s Eve.  It was a very relaxed day with plenty of time for us to explore and try out new and interesting places during the day. 

My wife suggested that we should try going to Bakmi Orpa in Jalan Malaka II near Kota Tua.  Bakmi Orpa is very well known as the most expensive noodle house around although most people who’ve been there agree that their signature noodle dish is very good.  So we were very curious to try this “bakmi Horang Kaya” - make sure you pronounce the "H" with a heavy grunt 😁😁.  My sister went along with us.

After following the directions on Google Maps, we finally arrived at Bakmi Orpa.  My sister went on a side dish ordering frenzy and ordered Pangsit Goreng, Baso Goreng & Pangsit Kuah.  We also ordered 5 bowls of noodles.
