What is it all about?

So, to celebrate Jakarta’s 486th anniversary (June 22), the capital city will held several major events.
From annual event like Jakarta Great Sale, Jakarta Fair, Jakarnaval, Abang None beauty pageant and introduce new event called Jakarta Night Festival.

Jakarta Night Festival (JNF) itself is not actually new. Jokowi-Ahok introduced it on new year eve 2012-2013 as Jakarta Car Free Night. There was also similar event called as Malam Muda Mudi in the Ali Sadikin era.

During JNF, Sudirman-Thamrin-Monas was closed down from 6pm to midnight (some said until 2am). There were stages along the road from Slank, Jamrud, Steven & The Coconut Trees, Jazz – Dangdut – Blues – campursari – disco and also keroncong :)

Main stage was at Monas area where OVJ performed as well as Kotak and Bondan & Fade2Black.

Weekly Photo Challenge: The Sign Says

This week photo challange topic from dailypost.wordpress.com is “The Sign Says“.

Well, there are so many kind of signs but let me choose one.
Prohibition.
This kind of sign will forbid you to do something. But is it always like that?

 

but i’m so tired, this borobudur temple is too big :(

++ push higher, Wally!!
>> oh come guys… behave!

 

Sun-day-Fun-day

Tadaaaa

Sunday without sun… well there was sun but not for long and it’s a bit annoying since I relied only natural sun light. Ah forgot to tell, I was having a photo shoot on that Sunday :)

Plus points:

  • got the concepts, communicated and agreed by the client
  • been to the location couple of times, so got the overall idea which corners we should use
  • got the props although not the complete set of my list

Minus points:

  • like i said, cloudy and then rain :( and having problem to meter for creating the silhouette
  • no proper wide angle lens. Rely on Nikon 50mm and OM-D 14-42mm
  • the living room is not as wide as i thought :P

But I hope the result will please them *pheww* Last item in my list will be useful on the next 3 months ^_^

These are some example of yesterday photo shoot.

If you have something that you considered as a gift, then what is it?
I’ve been blessed with ability to quickly familiar with kids. And cats. :P

After photo session, I went to visit #KakakRaka and see the little Adena at BSD. First to see him and #KakakRaka has a quite long scratch on his left cheek :( So, we call him now as “Raka Battosai” :P

We had long afternoon walk around the neighbourhood. Commenting every dogs and cats he saw along the way. Later on i realised we’ve been circling the neighbourhood for couple of times. For a 19 months old boy, #KakakRaka is so full of energy. And my shape is just that bad :P *phewww*

But it was fun ^_^

And finally the last one, 5th part of the series :) *Pheww*
Lenka teased the audience by saying that “When We Grow Old” will be the last song that night. And she did. After finishing the song and say goodbye, Lenka went to backstage. People start screaming ask for more songs. The Show hasnt played yet.

He he he, Lenka back to the stage with her cute smile and sing “Dangerous and Sweet“. Together with the X Factor finalist, Lenka closed the night with her hit song “The Show“.

Thank you Lenka for such a wonderful cheerful and entertaining concert. We’ll wait for you 3rd album and hopefully your next concert in Indonesia :)
