Presidential Election Day

This day, we - Indonesian, are having presidential election for the second time. We have to choose our future leader among 3 candidates. But so sorry, I won't tell the story about the process of the election, or about the candidates, or even about any political story.

This is how I spend the day on presidential election day:

1. Having one FREE cup of coffee at "Starbucks" Cilandak Town Square

What a perfect combination between best buddies, great foods, crazy discounts and free flow of drink, and also nice places.. Thank you for the day!

My 4th of July Celebration

Even though I'm a truly Indonesian, but yesterday I was celebrated the 4th of July. But this is how I was celebrated the 4th of July.. In my style, anyway ;)

One of my best buddies in Geng Hore was having his wedding party on 4th of July. Let's say that this is the first wedding among the main member.

Inilah tampilan seragamnya..

Keren kaaaaaaaan..?? ;)

Kedua mempelai bersama orang tua masing-masing

(tanpa Om-Om bercelana putih :P hahahahahahaha..)

Selesai dari nikahan Mas B, bukan Geng Hore namanya kalau ga cari tempat lain untuk kongkow-kongkow. Pintong-lah kita ke salah satu mall yang jadi tetangganya Gedung Bursa Efek Indonesia di kawasan SCBD, Sudirman.

Tadinya siy kita cuma mau sebentar aja di mall itu karena sudah ada jadwal untuk pindah ke mall di Pintu Satu Senayan. Tapi karena kebetulan ada kampanye putaran terakhir untuk pasangan capres-cawapres yang mau melanjutkan visi dan misi mereka 5 tahun ke depan, jadinya kita malas untuk mendekati daerah Senayan. Macet gilaaaaaaaaaaaaa.. Lha wong untuk ke SCBD aja harus menempuh perjuangan berat di seputaran Jalan Gatot Subroto :(

Tujuan awal di Pacific Place Mall adalah nyobain restoran baru yang ada di lobby utama mall (bener-bener ga bisa diakses dari dalam mall tu resto.. harus keluar dulu dari mall lewat lobby utama, baru bisa ke resto itu) Yang tadinya niat untuk ngemil di resto bernama Potato Head, eh qo ndilalah malah makan besar (dengan harga besar pula..)

"Tangga" akses ke lantai 2 di Potato Head

Burger di Potato Head

Ice Cappucino di Potato Head

Salah satu pasta di Potato Head yang bikin gw mabok keju @_@

Kenyang bego di Potato Head, eh masih lanjut untuk cari diskonan 60% di Secret Recipe. Tapi dalam perjalanan ke Secret Recipe di lantai atas, nyangkut dulu ke stand permen Yupi. Secara dari tadi keliling Pacific Place nemuin wahana Yupi Land terus.. Itu tu patung-patung binatang yang dibuat dari aneka permen Yupi.. Berhasil membeli permen seharga hampir Rp 50.000,00 :P Untung gigi kita kuat-kuat.. Kalau enggak, bisa-bisa dilarang makan permen karena takut gigi pada bolong :D hehehehehe..

Bolak balik naik eskalator di Pacific Place

Coba-coba permen di Yupi Land

Makan permen sampai sakit gigi

Ngemil permen kenyal sambil lirik-lirik diskon sana-sini, nyampai juga di Secret Recipe. Sayang saat sampai di situ, semua cake sudah ludes des des des.. Tak bersisa! Bener-bener semua orang memanfaatkan diskon yang cuma berlaku 2 hari itu saja (Sabtu untuk all item - food, beverages, and cake; Minggu untuk cake and pastries) Jadinya gw kembung aja di Secret Recipe.. Karena pesan begitu banyak ragam minuman tanpa ditemani cake :(

Menu di Secret Recipe

Total lebih dari 12 jam gw habiskan bersama Geng Hore. Bahkan melewati waktu Dhuhur, Ashar, dan Maghrib bersama di mushola Pacific Place :P

Great day.. Great food.. And great buddies..

Ice Age 3: Dawn of The Dinosaurs

This is my first 3D movie in theater

I'm gonna say that this movie is the best Ice Age movie ever! You're gonna laugh from the beginning until the end of the movie

I'm giving this movie 4 stars out of 5!

Like usually, Scrat is begin the movie. And he will end the movie too. But in this movie, Scrat is having a new love experience besides his acorn It's very funny how Scrat and Scratte are begin to fall in love.

But from all of the scenes, I laugh the most when Manny, Diego, and the twins, Crash and Eddie, got stuck in a cave full of laugh-poison gas. Their voice turn into chipmunks voice. Both Crash and Eddie are starting to sing the Chipmunks' song.

It's is a worth it movie if you see in 3D And if you already see it once, you're gonna love it!

Oia.. I guess there will be more 3D movies soon in theaters, such as Up and Battle for Terra. Can't wait to see those other 3D movies!

Car Free Day

Every end of month (week 4), there is a campaign called "Car Free Day" in Jakarta. The campaign itself is applied along the Jalan Sudirman through Jalan MH Thamrin (from Patung Pemuda, Bunderan Senayan through Monumen Nasional). So you cannot drive your car along that street from 6 AM to 2 PM.

It is one of green campaign that is held by the government of DKI Jakarta Province in order to reduce the polution. I heard that this campaign will be held twice a month in the future.

And this is what happen if I participated on "Car Free Day" campaign with my buddies:

Jalur Lambat (paling kiri) Ditujukan untuk Pengendara Sepeda
"Trotoar"nya Pejalan Kaki atau Pelari Ada di Jalur Tengah

Benar-Benar Penguasa Jalan!

Lenggak-Lenggok di Jalanan Ibukota

Menuju Bundaran Hotel Indonesi (HI)

Judulnya siy "Car Free Day"..
Tapi ga berlaku buat mobil Polisi Pariwisata yang dikendarai oleh dua orang polisi wanita ini

Suasana Bundaran HI dari Arah Tosari

Mumpung Boleh Pose Sembarangan di Bundaran HI

Menunggu Orang Lewat di Halte Plaza Indonesia

Kami Penguasa Jalan MH. Thamrin!
Kapan lagi bisa berpose di tengah-tengah jalan tanpa khawatir ditabrak mobil, motor, atau bis ;)

Capek Jalan, Saatnya Sarapan di Bubur Cikini

Fokus ke Mangkuk Bubur Masing-Masing
Untung pesanan minumnya belum datang. Bisa-bisa terkejut melihat banyaknya gelas tidak sesuai dengan jumlah orang hihihihihihihi..

Mejeng di Jakarta City Centre (JaCC)
Sempet-sempetnya inspeksi di JaCC pagi-pagi.. hihihihihihi..

Eskalator fX
Selesai inspeksi di JaCC, saatnya ngupi sambil ngemil ice cream di fX (untung ada toko yang menyediakan kopi dan es krim di dalam 1 tokonya..)

Geng KOPI

Genk ICE CREAM

We are The Girls in The Mirror

Nyobain Chamber fPOD di fX buat Karo-Karo
(Psssst.. MAHAL! Tidak Direkomendasikan!!)

Oia.. Kebetulan saat gw dan para sahabat berpartisipasi di "Car Free Day", pas lagi ada acara menyambut ulang tahun kota Jakarta ke 482. Jadi yang namanya Bunderan HI, penuh banget dengan orang dan sepeda! Senangnya bisa menikmati lengangnya jalanan Jakarta walaupun sehari..
