Day II

Puter puter kelilling kompleks, ke rumah kita dulu di kompleks Jati terus ngeliat our old sekolahan sama gereja . After round-round :) we then went to Softball Field near the heliport

Finally, RCC Burger.... Ate it with a can of coke.... Wot a perfecto way to end lots of exhausted-photo sessions.. ..Spent the night rode along pekanbaru road.... again... taking photo at Riau Governor House.
On the way home, went to 'kedai'..... Na' you should tell us before...... nice toko, sayang cuman bentar.


Day II - (extended)
Makan the best gulai patin in the world !!

Ke Rumah Kakek di jalan Sumber Sari, met Oom Kimpul, adiknya mama .. Ngeliat contoh-contoh teraso yg jaman dulu kakek bikin di pabriknya...Jaman dulu udah keren banget rumah pake teraso.. Karena ga musim lagi, kata Oom ketinggalan jaman, sekarang di pake utk produksi batako dan paving block. Ketempat oom Djulham juga, ga berubah. Still love hearing the story of Kakek, yg badge card nya masih nomor 23.... Angkatan pertama waktu Caltex baru buka. Kakek yg kerjanya dulu bagian C&R, Construction and Repair.... I always wonder why i became architect....ternyata it's from his blood...Kakek yg said that I'm his Ugly Duckling (heiii....) abisan jelek sendiri d rumah, udah item, ceking kaya papan hehehe. Kakek yg pagi2 suka bareng2 jahit di teras depan, Kakek yg ngajarin the magic nine dan eleven. Kakek yg bisa macam2 bahasa... ...Kakek yg sayang kita semua... Love him truly.. So the story began......

Day III - 28/12/08

Danau Buatan - Manmade Lake, 30 minutes ride from Rumbai.. Ada Jembatan Gantung yang bagus bgt buat bikin foto Pre-Wed...Sayang lagi rusak, jadi ga bisa dilewatin. Nemu spot2 bagus buat foto2

Sengaja turun dekat Jembatan Siak yang deket sama Pabrik Karet....Still smell the same....bauu.. Kaget juga kok masih ada aja pabriknya.. Abis makan di mall SKA, penasaran kita ke Perpustakaan Pekanbaru. Setelah sebelumnya sempet malam2 kesana untuk foto2. Big building using 'book' form as the met hapore... Modern Style with Free Internet, Full Aircon, discussion Room, and Computer Area. Children Library Section nya lebih kaya book store... Very cozy.. with black sofa everywhere ...menyenangkan setelah seharian berpanas-panasan... Rizky langsung tidur di salah satu sofa nya. Satu hal , ga nyangka lagi, di pekanbaru gitu lho.. Perpustakaan nasional di Jakarta aja ga kaya gini..

Capek juga ternyata.....tepar setepar-teparnya......zzzz.....oh no...belum ke kaca mayang...

Day IV

Pagi pagi ke bandara nganter papa rizqi terus sarapan di Kim Teng , the most famous 'warung kopi ' se pekan Baru. Bubur ayam sama mie ayam nya bikin pengen nambah2 terus. Langsung Mesjid AN Nur sambil belanja ke pasar bawah beli ikan sale titipan mama. Lagi santai-santai di rumah (baca : ngupdate foto di facebook) Yanti telfon minta dibawain buah saga yg banyak, akhirnya ke rumbai lagi, gosh ternyata habis itu masih di bawa jalan2 ke sungai Ambang dan anjungan tintin. Yah oom belum mandi nih.... T_T

Pekanbaru - Just Arrived

Day One - 26/12/08

makan kue putu hangat2 pake gula pasir yang berlimpah di pengkolan salahsatu jalan di Pekanbaru. Nginep di rumah Om Win di Rumbai. Met Tante, Isyana, Rizqi dan Theo the talented photographer from Tribun Pekanbaru....langsung makan sate cun, the best sate padang in town dan ke Mesjid Agung An-nur.....bagus banget full granit, didepannya ada kolam besar, dan lapangan parkir yang lega...pake eskalator pun... ga nyangka deh di daerah gini ada mesjid sebagus itu.

Pulang nge jagung bakar, nge otak2 terusan foto di depan perpustakaan nya Pekan yang baru. (The Greatest Library of Riau)

Movies and Their Quotes

1. PS. I Love You

“ Dear Holly, I don't have much time. I don't mean literally, I mean you're out buying ice cream and you'll be home soon. But I have a feeling this is the last letter, because there is only one thing left to tell you. It isn't to go down memory lane or make you buy a lamp, you can take care of yourself without any help from me. It's to tell you how much you move me, how you changed me. You made me a man, by loving me Holly. And for that, I am eternally grateful... literally. If you can promise me anything, promise me that whenever you're sad, or unsure, or you lose complete faith, that you'll try to see yourself through my eyes. Thank you for the honor of being my wife. I'm a man with no regrets. How lucky am I. You made my life, Holly. But I'm just one chapter in yours. There'll be more. I promise. So here it comes, the big one. Don't be afraid to fall in love again. Watch out for that signal, when life as you know it ends. P.S. I will always love you...”

2. Constantine

John Constantine: "... I guess there's a plan for all of us. I had to die - twice - just to figure that out. Like the book says, He works His work in mysterious ways. Some people like it. Some people don't ".

[speaking to God] I know I'm not one of your favorites. I'm not even welcome in your house. But, I could use a little attention.

3. Harry Potter - The Goblet of Fire

Harry : "You're being stupid..." //Ron : "Yeah, that's me. Ron Weasley, Harry Potter's stupid friend !!"

Hermione : "..I'm not an owl ! "

Face Book an

Personally, i don't really fancy fb. Too much information we know are not always a good thing.. Occassionaly open it, just to contact and share information with families ...

Berikut curhatan seorang suami di Bintan terhadap istri nya...

"Even marriage couple need privacy live.. but facebook or any o’r thing like that???? Mene tehe!!percayalah, kalo format FB masih kayak gini, lambat laun pasti bakal ditinggalin sampe keluar model terbaru lagi.. Hidup Linkedin!!!! cheers"

Hal-hal yang bisa dilakuin di Facebook:

1. Ketemu teman lama banget
2. Ketemu teman yang sudah sangat lama banget
3. Ketemu teman yang bahkan namanya pun sudah tidak ingat
4. Ketemu pacar lama
5. Ketemu gebetan lama
6. Ketemu mantan bos

Hal-hal yang berbahaya dari Facebook:

1. Ancaman pindah pekerjaan hubungan dengan nomor 6 diatas, tidak bagus buat perusahaan
2. Kegiatan terpantau
3. malem-malem bangun diam-diam, kencan ma facebook, CLBK
4. lebih memilih facebook daripada keluarga
5. teman jauh is the best, yang terdekat dan dateng tiap hari dicuekin

Pop Art Founder

Andy Warhol (6 Agustus 1928 – 22 Februari 1987), adalah seorang seniman, sutradara avant-garde, penulis dan figur sosial Amerika. Warhol juga bekerja sebagai penerbit, produser rekaman dan aktor. Dengan latar belakang dan pengalamannya dalam seni komersil, Warhol menjadi salah satu pencetus gerakan Pop Art di Amerika Serikat pada tahun 1950an. Karya-karya Warhol yang paling dikenal adalah lukisan-lukisan (cetakan sablon) kemasan produk konsumen dan benda sehari-hari yang sangat sederhana dan berkontras tinggi, misalnya Campbell’s Soup Cans, bunga poppy, dan gambar sebuah pisang pada cover album musik rock The Velvet Underground and Nico (1967), dan juga untuk potret-potret ikonik selebritis abad 20, seperti Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Judy Garland, dan Elizabeth Taylor. Di luar dunia seni, Warhol dikenal dengan ucapannya “Di masa depan semua orang akan menjadi terkenal selama 15 menit“. Dia berkata kepada beberapa reporter, “Kalimat terbaru saya adalah, ‘Dalam lima belas menit, semua orang akan menjadi terkenal’”.(Dikopi dari wikipedia.org)

BRC GO COLOUR - 14 th Anniversary

"...Under very tight budget and additional budget cut every day, this year's BRC Anniversary Committee faced one of the most challenging task. Yet it was by far the greatest, most colourful fest BRC has to date. Here are most of the hard workers, and a few passers by". (mr_rs quot and photos)

Began with beautiful Parade Dance - by our own staffs showing that differences actually add colour in our lives (Choreo by Lidia S. ). After the Official Opening Ceremony, Children Collosal Dance and talent show were upnext. Feel completed when BRC Choir sang '..in the jungle the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight, amimbaweb amimbaweb.." Thanks to Felix for such a beautiful harmony....

Pak Am wrote ...."Dear All Coordinators,….Kami mewakili panitia mengucapkan terima kasih banyak kepada bapak-bapak dan Ibu-ibu yang sudah memberikan dukungan penuh,kerja keras,kekompakan dan kerjasama yang baik sehingga acara BRC 14th Anniversary 2008 berjalan dengan meriah,lancar dan sukses. Mohon sampaikan rasa terima kasih kami kepada teman-teman yang lain yang tidak bisa kami sebutkan satu persatu… Bu Cath sempat stress karena ada masalah dikit di makanan ( Gimana sih bang Ron ) tapi untunglah dapat diatasi. Kak Sisil juga sempat kesal atas penonton nya yang buanyak dan berdesak2 antri menunggu hadiah FUN GAMES... sabar ya kak jangan kapok …. Sekali kali All the best for you….
