Living in Papua

Hello World! Hello from the other side. So, here I am, at Papua. It has been almost four months after my first landing at Mozes Kilangin Airport at Timika. We supposed to be here since half year ago, but because of some circumstances we were not allowed to be moved. I work at Freeport Indonesia as representative of my company, Midroc Automation. We are ten people which is seven Swedish expatriates and three Indonesian. I remember when my friend sent me a message, ” Where are you now? Which part of Indonesia?” Honestly, I was kind of worried about the work

#sembalun #summit #hypotermia #sunset #sunrise Those are our main topic for three days in Lombok. Yes, we were at Mount Rinjani! Two weeks ago, my friend posted on whatsapp group about travelling to Lombok and conquer the legendary Rinjani. “It is my call”.

I booked a flight at Batik Air, unfortunately the departure

Shin Splints

I am confident with my decision that I should stop running for a while. I got injured on my leg especially the shin-bone. They said its called shin splints. The injure occurs after we did some over do, wrong technique, or wrong equipment while exercising. For the past 2 year, I managed to run/jogging and swim regularly. Those are my kind of sport. There is nothing wrong with the swimming except I still can not use free-stroke very well :p Lets talk about running. Recently, I feel some pain on my shin bone. It always hurts after I run for hundreds

Once upon a time, I went to Kinokuniya my my office mate after having our lunch. I wanted to take a look some book about project management. I realized I lack of knowledge about project management. Unfortunately, the price is unbelievable. My friend told me that he has some ebook in his storage and promised to send me later. “Hei, I know this book” I took a book from the shelve. Norwegian Book, by Haruki Murakami. It brought me to a posting that my friend casting on his path ‘reading Norwegian Wood’ and some dirty comment about it. haha. But

Sunda Kelapa Harbour

Let’s visit another ‘beauty’ of Jakarta. On that very hot day, I decided to visit Sunda Kelapa. Actually I have been there but only for view minutes, since it was only me, no one else who looked like a tourist. I guess I came in the wrong time. So, to accomplish my mission capturing those big traditional ship, instead of in the middle of the day, I went in the afternoon. People said that the proper time to visit is morning or afternoon. Yes, it is a golden our for photographing. I spent several hours in Starbucks Stasiun Kota, reading my

Freelance Photographer

This is my very first time being a paid-photographer. Hehe. I got this challenge from my travel mate to Pahawang last month. How come? Several days after the trip, I upload some photos from my camera that I took during the journey. Later on, my friend sent me a message. “Could you be our photographer in my company event next month?” It takes weeks after I say yes. Haha. Beside my uncertain schedule, I feel that my ability and my gear is still not sufficient. I dont want to ruin the entire documentation with poor quality of my photos. But

Weekdays Get AwayI

I spent my last two days in Bandung visiting may campus and my friend? Why? Because I was bored. Instead of using travel agent, I went by train. I am one of train fan. Travelling by train is more relaxing and gives me a ‘true’ travelling feeling. I departed from Gambir station to Bandung station using Argo Parahyangan. A day before I purchased a cheap business class. Well, price will show the quality, it was not really comfortable with business class seat, too narrow for long journey. I arrived at Bandung around 12.30pm and went directly to Panti Wiyataguna, a

How To Talk?

“Nate! Seriously? ” Yes, I am serious. I find this book in my friend blog, he gives a positive review for this book. After read his review, I know this book is for me. Haha. Another book in my reading list. But Why? As I wrote before, I am kind of INFJ person. INFJ is the rarest race in the world based on Myers-Briggs diversification. Less than one percent of world population. Should I proud of that? And you know, Introvert, how they acts in everyday life? hehe. Anyway, I find it quite difficult to make a conversation with
