So where will you be this New Year's Eve?

Is 2007 a good year for you? Are you fortunate enough to plan your end of the year vacation? Where will you be? Can you feel Christmass vibe? Ho ho ho.... It is always good to be able to end this year with good celebration. Will you be in Bali, Singapore, Hongkong, Europe, Japan, Australia, or Jakarta? Please tell us... Often times, we forget that we need to celebrate and take time off from work... even spend a good quality time with family on the new year's eve is hard to beat...

Crazy Taxis Drive Me Crazy

Oh gosh... those damn cabs in Jakarta!! Do they actually have their driver's licenses?? They drive like the road is theirs! What bugs me is that they have the attitude of "who gives if my taxi gets scratched" cos they don't love their vehicles the way I do (my car even has a name: Red Bitch). So when I'm like head to head with one of those cabs to get into a little space on the road, 90% of the time I lose cos I don't want Red Bitch to get damaged. All I can do is just honk and honk like an old women havin a fit. At least that makes me smile.

People... just honk.

Let's Go GREEN!

Nafas suka sesak, sakit semakin sering, pasti gara-gara polusi. Lho kok Jakarta belum mau menjadikan kota ini Eco Friendly? Dari yang gampang saja, kurangi pemakaian kertas, gunakan bio bahan bakar, jangan bakar sampah sembarangan, mulai usulkan knalpot yang menggunakan emission control atau filter yang mengurangi polusi dari mesin, recycle, tidak buang sampah di mana-mana dan masih ada yang lain sih sebenarnya. Sensitif akan environment kita itu bagus, kan sudah banyak orang yang pakai mobil mewah di Jakarta, masa membantu membereskan ginian saja tidak mau?... Gimana kalau serentak satu hari kita promosikan Eco Jakarta?
Dulu Jakarta/Batavia cakep benar tapi kok sekarang babak belur. Gimana beberapa tahun lagi ya.

Farewell Kesya

We are glad that Kesya came and styled two of Swank glossy fashion pages. Her styling com bination was rad, rarely found in places like jakarta. Her landcruiser will totally miss her when she leaves indo and so will we... tx Kes
