Kiluan Bay, Indonesia

Few days ago, I go for a trip with bunch of friends. I went to one-of-the-most beautiful bay in Lampung, Indonesia, called Kiluan Bay.
We use ferry from Merak Banten to Bakaheuni Lampung, and plus few hours later with rental cars to the site. The view? I can guarantee you, it's priceless.

We stay at a cottage in the bay, so we can get sleep with the sound of gentle waves at night :)

First adventure is going to Hidden Lagoon. We have to go tracking for few minutes to the hidden beach, and cross the rocks to the lagoon. After you finished tracking and find the lagoon, it feels worth every sweat.
So Beautiful.

There's a villager who guided us to the lagoon, so don't worry about the hard rock climbing, they have it all prepared. We just have to follow red signs they've made to the lagoon.

When we find the lagoon, we can bath, swim, jump, and play. It really fun.

After we came back from Hidden Lagoon, we can sail to the nearest island called Kelapa Island. We sail there with Jukung (Traditional Fisher Boat). We're catching sunset there, lay down a bit, having a chat, and snorkeling in white sand beach.

The next day, we go again on Jukung to see dolphins. We gone a bit far from the bay, and finally saw the dolphins. They were so many and they were so beautiful. I really enjoy this trip.

Before we go home, we play in another hidden beach, and then ride to Bakaheuni with travel cars.
That's my Kiluan Bay Trip, I will never forget it, especially when I sailed with the dolphins. I wish someday I can comeback here and have fun again.

SISI LAIN BUMI Exhibition

Lately I published a book called SISI LAIN BUMI. This book is a bundle of surrealism fiction, or I would say Surrealism-tale. There're stories about love, passion, happiness, betray, and Horror. If you never see the book, it look like this :

It's a 'print on demand' book type and can be bought in this site Sisi Lain Bumi just like a usual online shopping, the printing process will take 2 weeks, or 10 work days. But it's worth waiting, guys :)

And now, I held an exhibition responding this book. The exhibitors are creative people from various background such as Artist, Designer, Architect, and Photographer. These creative people exhibit their works responding SISI LAIN BUMI book. I would like to invite you all to the exhibition if you in Bandung at the time. Here are the poster about the exhibition. You can find about place and time of exhibition there. See u then :)

24 Hours is Not Enough

I often thinking that 24 hours a day just not enough. I mean, there's always an interesting stuff I found one after another, and I can't make my self not trying it.
It's like "hey, there's this new idea about new design"--when I've been working on my other projects. It's like, "come on, me! You can do this! You can finish this one, and making that one. Oh and you can do that thing you always want to do too!!"-- uuugh, I can't blame anyone, I even can't blame myself, it's my nature.
I'm writing, making article, making books, promoting my books, draw an illustration, promoting it too, and don't forget about my job in the office, and also my job as a lecturer. Sometimes I feel exhausted, like there's no time to take a break. But then I think about it, about my life, and I LIKE IT! I really am!
To live a life as interior designer, writer, illustrator, and lecturer is just one think that make myself more like me.
And then I ask myself, is 24 hours is not enough? Yes, it's just not enough, not for me, and I think there are so many people will be agree with me about it.


So, let's just cut the chit-chat about me and now we're just slide to my works.
I'll post about my previous work, interior design project.
This is a conceptual design for a cafe in Serang - Banten, Indonesia. It's called Java-Net Cafe where people can get a cozy place to eat, drink, and surf the net. The whole concept are bright, colorful, and fun for every ages. I make it simple with geometrical forms and just playing in color composition. For an accent, I was making decorative armature in the ceiling, it soften the light when it reach the eyes and give a good vibe among the colorful ambient.

I'm also publishing this design on my design page : Dress Your Space (d.y.s) on Facebook. If you kindly enough to check, here it is http://www.facebook.com/DressYourSpace.d.y.s
This page is one of a things which make me thinking that 24 hours is not enough. But even if it's not enough, I still want to make sure that I live it and love it :)
So, see you in the next round.
