Joko Anwar is a legend..wait for it DARY :D

Siapa sih Joko Anwar?
Knapa sih timeline gue banyak banget tentang dia?
Who is he?

Joko Anwar adalah sutradara dan penulis naskah Indonesia yang menyutradarai film Pintu Terlarang, Kala dan Janji Joni.

Knapa tiba-tiba dia jadi bahan pembicaraan di dunia microblogging website Twitter?
Gini ceritanya:
Untuk kalian yang punya account Twitter, Selasa 22 September 2009 kemaren tiba-tiba heboh dengan user Twitter bernama jokoanwar yang dalam tweetnya, bilang "If I got my 3000th follower today, I'll go into a Circle K naked".
Coba, apa yang kalian lakukan setelah baca ini? Yang jelas kalau gue, ya gue follow lah kalo perlu gue Re-tweet (istilah forward tweet di Twitter) dan sebisa mungkin gue mengajak followers gue untuk follow dia dong :P Kapan lagi ada hiburan macam kaya gini hehehe.
Akhirnya pada hari itu, ngga nyampe sehari follower dia nembus 3000 and still counting at that time. Jreng jrenggggg, apakah dia akan masuk Circle K telenji seperti janjinya??

Gue terhibur banget sama tweet dia selama hari itu, why?
Liat deh beberapa tweet dari dia hari itu :
Please God, I'll be a good moslem, christian, buddhist, scientologist, whatever. Just don't let me flash my flabby flesh in Circle K
Ok. It looks like it's gonna happen. Damn youuuu...!!! I'll do it at night, ok?? Happy?????
I hope you all will puke to see the pics tomorrow. :)))
And this one made me laugh :
Damn. It's so hard to get people to watch my movies, yet it's so easy to make people want to see me naked. Just wait for pics tonight.
Have mercy. Let me do it at night. You'll get the pics when you wake up tomorrow. Promise. *crying while doing push-up*

Gue berasa kaya baca novel banget ngikutin perkembangan tweet selanjutnya, can you imagine how it would be if you were him? Gampang sekali dapet follower dan apa jadinya tiba-tiba dia ngga menepati janjinya? He would loose more kan?
Lanjootttt...
Joko Anwar akhirnya tweet bahwa dia akan menepati janji waktunya yang pasti malam itu dan milah milih kira-kira Circle K mana yang beruntung melihat 'tweetit' dia, oopss sorry for that word :P
Deg-degan euy, lah knapa gue yang deg-degan yah? Tapi itu yang gue rasakan waktu gue baca twitter dia. Kebetulan dia juga ngajak beberapa temen dia untuk membantu report tweet live dan mendokumentasikan kejadian yang sangat langka ini.
Untuk menjaga biar proses lancar dan tidak jadi serangan tweeple (sebutan untuk people di Twitter) yang ingin menyaksikan langsung, Circle K pilihan dirahasiakan.

Gue refresh terus dong hp gue just want to know what comes next. Even Dewi Lestari Dee juga mantengin layar dan bener-bener nungguin kabar berikutnya. Belum lagi di sela-sela ketegangan Raditya Dika sempet nge-tweet sesuatu yang bikin gue ketawa juga. It is like reading you know, butuh imajinasi yang tinggi dan it's also real!!
Gue rasa tweeple pada saat itu juga pada nahan pipis kali ya demi berita selanjutnya, wong gue aja lagi nongkrong di Citos bela-belain pulang nge-charge gara-gara lowbatt.

Lanjootttt..
Betapa lucunya tweet dari temen-temennya yang ikut terlibat pendokumentasian kejadian ini, ada yang sampe muntah karena saking tegangnya, ada yang ngedumel knapa mesti Circle K yang dipilih itu banyak abg mabok sama bikersnya. And worst, katanya sempet ada polisi yang lewat di situ. Dan sempet ada momen tiba-tiba temennya Joko Anwar stop tweeting. Sumprit kita dibikin tegang dan keep wondering what happened? Gue kaget baca tweet kalo ngga salah dari iwet deh yang bilang ada berita ngga enak. NAH LOH? Kenapa tuh? Sempet yang blank berapa menit dan mulai deh twitter rame dengan, apa Joko ditangkep polisi? Jah kasian amat? Mulai ada tweet juga, jangan re-tweet yang belum tentu bener, NAH LOH? Ada apa ini?
Mana ada tweet ini lagi yang bikin gue ngakak bentar dari qronoz :
Polisi juga manusia. Polisi juga twitteran. Polisi refresh timeline. #nahloh #waduh #jokoanwar

Syukurlah berita Joko Anwar ditangkep segera ditepis, dan tweeple mulai tak sabar.
Eh tiba-tiba muncuk tweet ini dari molskee (temen Joko Anwar) :
IT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW! @JOKOANWAR IS KEEPING HIS WORD. He is THE MAN!
Here is from tigerlilybubu :
IT IS DONEEEEE!!!! TWEEPSSSS ITS DONEEE!!! WOOTWOOT!!! Huahahahhaa!! @jokoanwar, @tigerlilybubu, @leonardoringo IN and he freakin DID IT :)

Entah kenapa, gue juga ikutan tepuk tangan dan bersorak loh (kampungan). HE KEPT HIS PROMISE. Itu yang terpenting. Daaaaaaannnnnnnnnn, dia posting beneran fotonya di Twitternya.

Here it is :
A promise is a promise, Mr. Politicians! . :) http://pic.gd/3c6e2c


Janji Joko terpenuhi :D
It was FUN FUN FUN.
One of the best excitement i've ever have that day. And Circle K terpilihnya di Bintaro Sektor 2 :D And true, Joko Anwar, great entertainer and he is a legend...wait for it.. DARY :D
*Standing ovation to him*

Ramen 38 Sanpachi Pondok Indah Plaza

What : Ramen 38 Sanpachi
Where : Pondok Indah Plaza II Blok B No. 11B Jl. Metro Pondok Indah Jakarta
Phone Number : 021- 7591464

I love ramen, especially Beppu Menkan's Kamado Jigoku Ramen, very delicious. My cousin told me that, there's a tasty ramen near hear house and her friends are craving for more after they taste it. Kinda make me and Bugz curious. So we'll give it a try.


The place located at the address above, but if you still no idea where is at, just find Pizza Hut Pondok Indah Plaza, and the place should be near there. The place is nice and they also serve both Halal and non Halal food. As for me, of course i pick non Halal food haha.

Okay, now on to the food. Me and Bugz ordered non Halal Jigoku Ramen, and they also has spicy level up to 20. Since we're beginners, we tried level 2. The price without tax is 45RB each (tax excluded). When the food came, we're really surprised. It was a BIG portion. Look at the comparison between ramen and my Nokia N73 phone.



When i tasted it, it was so "Endang Bambang Maknyus Pisan Dah" (read: Awesome!). I did finish it though it was a big portion. There you get free flow ocha tea. After you finished your meal, you got a Konyaku Jelly desert. Yummy!
Will you come back? Definitely!! And i dare you to try it..

We are all Trekkies now

Star Trek, 2009
Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_2009
Directed by J.J Abrams
Starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Eric Bana

Yes, i'm officially a Trekkie now. I love the work from J.J Abrams, so i've been waiting for this movie to see his work. The previous work from him that i love was Alias series, Lost series (but only the beginning season) and his movie Cloverfield. I said to myself, "Surprise me J.J Abrams!", and he DID surprise me with this Movie. I say that Star Trek is the best movie 2009 summer movie so far. Awesome story, great casts, and i can believe that Chris Pine there such a pretty boy kinda face fits the James T. Kirk character that is such a bad ass. Not to mention Heroes Sylar cast, Zachary Quinto, i think he was born to fit Spock Character.

The scene begins with Captain Nero's (played by Eric Bana) mining ship Narada attacked Federation starship USS Kelvin. Acting-Captain George Kirk orders an evacuation and stays behind to provide cover for the fleeing shuttlecraft his pregnant wife among the passengers. George pilots the Kelvin into the Narada moments after his son James T. Kirk is born.

Kirk grows up to be an intelligent, though reckless and cynical, young man. To get him to embrace his potential, Captain Christopher Pike challenges Kirk that he could be like his father and convinces him to join Starfleet. And from there, the story becoming more interesting. I wont tell you more so be sure to watch it. Be ready for laugh, sad and also ready for the twist. Let J.J Abrams surprised you.

I give Star Trek full 5 stars and i nominated this movie as The Best Movie 2009 so far. Yes, we are all Trekkies now.

My Wondershoe shoes has arrived

My lovely Wondershoe shoes posed on my messy office table. Nice. After i waited for more than 2 weeks, finally arrived. I was so excited. Fits perfectly. It's made from black suede and red shiny material, and non slip rubber sole. I think its pretty fragile so its not suitable for walking on tar at streets too much. But if you use it only for walking around the mall or so, i think its fine. My office friends also purchased the shoes with different types. I think i might purchase another one again :D

These are all from Wondershoe, very nice isn't it. So why don't you purchase it also. They also have a store at Kemanggisan but i'm not sure where is at. You should check the website i'm sure they mentioned there. Happy shopping :)

Heavy Rain Caused Traffic Jam

This picture was taken yesterday, Monday 7th April 2009. It was raining so hard that caused flood in several places around Jakarta including Kemang and Tendean.

As you see in the picture, this is the view from 10th floor at my office located in Tendean. The one with the traffic road were heading to Blok M. I was trapped at the office until 07.30 pm and still, had to face that traffic jam and got home around 10.30 pm. That bad?? Yes, it was!

[Earth Hour] Saturday 28th March 2009 08.30pm to 09.30pm

I vote for Earth!

What is Earth Hour? You may ask.
Earth Hour is global event organized by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature, also known as World Wildlife Fund) and is held on the last Saturday of March annually, asking households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and other electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change. (Taken from : Wikipedia).

This event is an opportunity to use the light switch as a vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. Now which side are you?

Earth Hour 2009 was on last Saturday 28th March 2009, and it began at 08.30 pm to 09.30 pm local time. And at this year, Indonesia is one of the country that participated this event. Although not every citizen aware of this Earth Hour campaign, but at least the message had reach through this nation and many of them responded to it, including me and Bugz.

Bugz with fireworks

We decided to play fireworks during the Earth Hour and it was fun. Of course there are other many things that you can choose to do, i remember i got an invitation from Facebook, to mass defecation during the Earth Hour haha so silly, but while searching for candles, we found this fireworks. It was fun, and didn't realize that it was almost 09.30 pm.

Me with my fireworks

We think we should do this again! Although my neighbours didn't participate the event, but we felt great that we were. Some people here complaining that, "why we should do this stupid Earth Hour thing while almost everyday our local electric company is already shut our electricity not even one hour but hours?" and some says "Why is our nation willingly to participate this event and be ruled by other country for doing this?". Let me tell you my friend, it is not about that. It is your choice to do it or not, and also this not a must. This is only between you and your vote. Dont ever include other reasons to it. If you choose No then dont, period. All i ever wanted is to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. So, i vote for Earth.

5. You soon will forward this to another idiot.

Jason Mraz at Java Jazz Festival 6th March 2009

Taken from

http://jazzuality.com/java-jazz-2009/jason-mraz-at-java-jazz-festival-2009/

Amazing performance by Jason Mraz, Grooveline Horns and team. The songs that he sang as far as I remember are Make it Mine, The Remedy mashed with Wonderwall by Oasis sooo cooll , Unfold, You and I Both, Lucky duet with Dira (She sang so good), Bella Luna, Beautiful Mess, Good Job, Im yours, errr kinda forgot I guess (CMIIW) it is Nothing can stop us and ended with my fav song Butterfly. The people are so crowded there. And Jason Mraz’s voice is soo great better than the CD. Seriously, his voice is so clear.

Actually I was waiting for him to sing Live High or Love for a child, but overall, I really love Jason Mraz performance. Kinda craving for more that I almost buy the Saturday special ticket and it already cost over than 1 million rupiah, geezzz. Kinda regret why I didn’t buy the Saturday special also (YOU’RE BROKE CHEETZ!! THAT’S THE ANSWER hehehe).

And before the end if the show, Jason Mraz introduced the team and took a polaroid photo each of them and threw it out to the audience. I really really wish that i could get Jason Mraz’s picture but too bad I didn’t get it. The one who got it was sooo lucky and I envy her/him grrrrr. And he also threw his towel hahahaha, no doubt it is going to be smelly but hey, It’s Mraz hihihihihihihi.

I also got a chance to take a picture with Fernando Castillo, one of the Grooveline Horns and enjoyed talking with him as if he was a long friend of mine. I was hoping that I could take a picture with Jason Mraz himself but he didn’t go to the lobby at that time while his team are actually there. Forgive me with a tired look face, really exhausted and not to mention sooo thirsty at that time. Great performance guys!! Come back again to Jakarta and sing with us.
