The story of the lost motorbike

Behind police line

Hello, the gloomy guy is back with lots of bad news. But let’s start with a good news first: I have a new motor­bike yay! That’s a maroon red Yamaha Vix­ion, fast and agile. Nick­name: red beast. I was very happy with it. Then on one unfor­tu­nate day, June 25th I was work­ing in the office until late. There’s this cool Dru­pal training […]

How Nyepi REALLY is in Bali

A lot of friends in Twit­ter asked me stuffs about Nyepi today, mostly the dos and donts. I’ve lived in Bali my whole life, so although I am not a local I get a pretty good sight of what’s going on in Nyepi days. In the­ory there are four rules Hindu peo­ple must obey in Nyepi, this set of rules […]

The saltwater-soaked Black­berry and Black­berry City’s repair service

Me and the Blackberry

So my Black­berry had been hos­pi­tal­ized in Black­berry City Den­pasar since begin­ning of Jan­u­ary. And since I am a man of one phone, I had no backup phone and I was reduced to my old phone when it was hos­pi­tal­ized. The day the berry got admit­ted, the staff said that “The repairman’s not in, so we can’t process this […]

On Grow­ing Up

Some peo­ple say that they never want to grow up, child­hood is enjoy­able. Being a child, hav­ing no respon­si­bil­i­ties is awe­some. You can do what­ever the fuck you want, screw up as hard as you can and some­one else will clean up your shit after you. Come to think of it, it IS awe­some isn’t it? But check […]

2009 flash­backs

What other ways could be bet­ter to remem­ber what I did on 2009 other than check­ing my blog archive? Can’t think of any right now, so I’m read­ing my own blog posts of 2009 while gig­gling because I was a silly guy. I started 2009 by mov­ing into an office/workspace in Renon, Den­pasar. The first web­site we designed […]

Lake Buyan, the fish­ing side

When­ever the chi­nese boy is in town, we have a some­what weird habit that is going some­where inter­est­ing and.. take pic­tures. This time the pick of “some­where inter­est­ing” was Buyan lake, not the usual side where peo­ple camp and all that, but the fish­ing side of it. Appar­ently there are plenty of fish in this lake, I never […]

Traveler’s Tales #2

The check-in gate was closed at the air­port ter­mi­nal, so I had to go in from the vis­i­tor entrance. I was a bit wor­ried of not find­ing a place to wait, but lucikly J.Co. was open at that time. As I ordered Mocha­bella I noticed there was a cou­ple  on one of the tables next to me, chat­ting. As usual, I went with […]

Trav­el­ers’ Tales #1

Last week­end I had a short trip to Jakarta to meet a client and visit fam­ily and the girl­friend. My flight back to Bali was the first flight on Mon­day 6:35am, it’s an overkill to spend just a few hours in a hotel and I don’t want to wake up that early to beat the traf­fic to the air­port. So I decided […]
