Dress Up Prettty Kebaya!

Ladies, dare to look different with Kebaya! A woman wearing a kebaya is at her most beautiful. Traditional, unique, and elegant, Kebaya is usually worn in special occasions such as wedding ceremony, college graduation day, or parties.

Long time ago, Kebaya is commonly worn by women who live in rural and village. An urban woman who wore this kind of clothing was considered old-fashioned and conservative. However, with the changing of time and the increasing of knowledge, the art of Kebaya fashion increases rapidly thus making Kebaya more stylish and modern.

You, too, can try wearing Kebaya and enjoy the elegance of the Indonesian ethnic fashion.

Company Family Outing 2010

Due to stressful work or just a busy schedule often times we miss out on communicating with our co-workers on anything other than “employee talk”. We do get our work done but miss out on really knowing the person we work with 25 hours a week!

In experience managing for company outing, the co-worker was much enhanced by regular yearly activities which involved family outing together, picnic or going together. These activities gave the co-workers good time to unwind, to be with their families during the weekend and also getting to know each other better. It offers a chance to the spouse and kids to meet mom/dad’s co-workers and bosses.

Taking on the role of chairman of my company can be fun. The planning process provides an opportunity to show off my leadership, organization skills, increase my confidence and self-esteem and an opportunity to get to know relatives like I have never known them before!

Cocktail Party

Last night I spent a fabulous evening at 4* Hotel in Purwakarta.
 

Celebrating the Earth Day on April 22nd, 2011, the organization invited their guests and bookers as well to participate in making the earth greener by planting trees.

Even all guests were not seated but remain standing; an evening cocktail party - with some variety of meals displayed on platters - still gives me a chance to mingle among them.

New staffs from their organization were introduced and also made new contacts with some people working in the same housing estate in KBI.

It was really an ideal way to spend a Tuesday night!

Fun Camp

If you have are very rare to go on camping (like me), you may be asking yourself the question, "Why is camping fun? What's so great about camping anyway?"

The adventure of living in the outdoors makes camping fun and enjoyable for young and old a like. The outdoors experience can be enjoyed by anyone...

Camping is like taking a vacation for a day, overnight or for the whole weekend. It's the best way to relax and unwind after a long, hard week of work. One gets revitalized in the morning freshness with clear air and dewy surroundings. Camping is fun and an easy outdoor activity. There are many things to do for you and your camping buddies. Living in cities, one often misses gazing at the stars. Sleeping under the open sky on camping nights, gives you the chance to learn about the different constellations and stars. I did it when friends when we were going on fun camp in Gunung Bunder, Bogor.

If you enjoy the quite atmosphere, wideness, trees and isolation from the crowded cities, camping is for you. You will get dirty, soaked in dust and mud, yet you'll love the experience.

My first Thanksgiving

This is my first Thanksgiving.  From films I have some imaginations about what Thanksgiving is and I am really eager to experience this event life. Through job rotation program in my work I got the opportunity to celebrate Thanksgiving in an American family. In Switzerland …!

Thanksgiving Day is the fourth Thursday in November, but many Americans take a day of vacation on the following Friday to make a four-day weekend.  The Thanksgiving feast became a national tradition -- not only because so many other Americans have found prosperity but also because the Pilgrims' sacrifices for their freedom still captivate the imagination. Thanksgiving Day in America is a time to offer thanks, of family gatherings and holiday meals. A time of roast turkey, cranberry sauce, potatoes, and pumpkin pie…..!

 Many thanks to the family Alexander for their grand hospitality!! I had a wonderful evening together with their family. They made my first Thanksgiving a great experience!

Reunion with old buddies from TarQ

I believe that friend always friend doesn’t matter what happen, but of course, if you hang out with them more, it will tighten the relationship. Life has been so busy lately, so it was nice to get a call from my old college friend asking if I wanted to catch up and have dinner together. So, I had dinner with some old college buddies at Japanese Restaurant in South Jakarta. The restaurant is very small and the tables are placed very close to one another. Reasonably priced coz they had promo with including the 50% off.

We had a great night! Plus we always have fun and it is good to see everybody again. I love all my friends and treasure them dearly. We wish to keep all ex-pupils informed of the exciting news from the College as it happens

Gathering of 3 family generation

Life gets busy. Work gets stressful, and social activities become more of a priority… getting together with a big family is soon forgotten!

This family gathering was held to celebrate Tante En Bday….
The Sugiono was there to the catch up with family members and enjoy special moment of an evening in December. So, meeting with my big family is a rare opportunity to meet, relax and enjoy each other. Sometimes having fun with my big family is motivation enough for everyone to get together, and sometimes we might need a little motivation. I was fortune to be a part of this multigeneration gathering coz few years, my Dad passed away.
So, honor thy family. It is a forgotten gift!
