For the past three days, I was commissioned to do focus grop discussions for a Japanese automotive company. Those were pretty long sessions, two groups a day, and short discussion before and after, and I always arrived home around 9 PM or 9.30 PM. So it was pretty exhausting. BUT, today was the last day of the session. The client told me I did a ( Read more... )

LJ is working at the moment, so better take my chances :p

I watched Castle episode 3.21 yesterday night. No spoiler, but I just wanted to squee over the fact that Michael Connelly and Dennis Lehane made a cameo. This was Dennis Lehane's first appearance on the show while Connelly's would be his third (he was first appeared with the late Stephen J ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I went to a bank and deposited sum of money that was meant as a fee for my education. I got the first semester fee covered. Now, I only have to focus on passing the entry exam, which wil be held on April 17th. My sister, who took this exam 2.5 years ago, when she enrolled for her own Master's degree in Literature, gave the "exams bank" ( Read more... )

First of all, thanks to those who have participated in my poll. Black wins hands down. So I guess I will buy the black cellular phone then. I'll keep you all posted. My birthday is not until end of February though. Now, for this post, I have two topics that have no connection with one another ...

First Topic: Sometimes life takes you where you are ( Read more... )

First of all, anli, thanks for your card dear ...

My plan for the day will be watching The Tourist, with a friend. Whatever happens, I don't think it will do much to the list I posted below, though. This year, I was only able to watch about 85 movies -- compared to 190 ( Read more... )

Going to Bandung today, it's a city about 150 kilometers away from Jakarta, most famous as a shopping heaven. There are factory outlets for good slightly cheaper apparels. Also lots of places to eat. I need to get away from the city for awhile and what better reason that to have a shopping spree ^_^. I'll leave around 7 A.M. and probably return ( Read more... )

So I took my sister to watch Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1 yesterday. Here's what she thinks of it ... "The movie is kinda long, I prefer to have more action/fighting scenes rather than the 17-year-old teen romance plot. But I like it better than movie #6". Also, I don't know whether it is because she has Master's Degree in Literature ( Read more... )

Next week, I have no projects to do. To be honest, I feel grateful. I kinda need the break. I have done several projects for the last couple of weeks ... and I'm pretty tired. One of the benefits doing freelance is that I can say "no" when I feel is too much. I'm a bit sleep deprived -- yesterday, I was stuck in traffic jam for 2.5 hours, covering ( Read more... )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, stellicidio

Today and Wednesday, I will have a short break -- no project what-so-ever. Will you think of me as lazy, if I say that I miss taking a nap!?! I ( Read more... )

It's almost 8 A.M. on a Monday here in Jakarta. I'm thinking about what to do today. I kind of want to go the Blok m Mall and watch a movie or something while also having head massage (there is one slightly cheaper beauty saloon there but the massage is really good!). BUT, none of the movies are really looking good to watch at the moment. Not until ( Read more... )
