We went to Ancol beach on Saturday Morning.
My little girl wasn't feeling well, her cough hasn't stopped, and my mom said that a good morning sea air should help a lot, and she was right.

Ancol beach itself has grown. Unfortunatelly it still site between Jakarta's poluted harbour to the east and factories to the west. you can still see them in the horizon. But for the moment, enjoy the pictures and video.

Sushio Roll Platter

My Lunch at Kaiten Sushi

Had a big sushi crave today, and so I quickly charged to the nearest sushi restaurant after Friday prayers. Ordered a big platter of Sushi rolls. They

It Was Free

gave me an egg-tofu desert thing and miso shiru soup for free. The sushi was great, so much better than Ichiban.

Problem is... I still want some sushi.

Work in Progress

The Colouring Process

Colouring Process

1. Basic skin tone

2. Lip tone plus gloss

3. Facial mapping, showing height, lighter colour means higher terrain

4. Using the smudge tool from Photoshop, carefully smooth out the skin

5. Finished smudging process, needs a lot of patience, did this in an hour

6. Adding volume to the eyes, chin, and jaw. Added red corners of the eye

Colouring Process

7. Make small white dots and pull them out with the smudge tool using the smallest brush. Takes time. If you have Alien skin plug-in, you can use the "Fur" option to go faster.

8. Giving volume to hair, erase parts that are low adjusting to light

And Finito.

First Ultrasound

Just 1,5 months after Rika and I decided to have a new baby, and boom, we got it. I'm like ecstatic with joy and happiness. I'm going to be a dad, again. Yay...

Please pray for us and wish that the baby will be healthy and grows up well, and also that Rika will be healthy during the whole pregnancy because the first 3 months (trimester) of pregnancy is a very decisive moment. :-D

My Parent's 39th Wedding Anniversary

Family Pic

A year shy of their 40th, my parents celebrated their 39th wedding anniversary last Sunday at our Villa in Puncak. Everyone was there, my brothers and sisters with their in-laws and mine, and not forgeting the grandkids, all 6 of them.

Happy Anniversary Mami & Papi

Horsey Ride

Rika and I bought them chocolate mocca cheese cake (wow) from help celebrate. After the photo sessions, so on and so forth, the whole family spent some time hiking to anearby village and a river not too far from the Villa. Vira, Rika, Natasha and Nina even took a horse ride.

The Villa has a big garden with a few swings and slides, so the kids aren't bored, plus I got them some soaps and loops for them to blow bubbles on.

But while almost all the family was outside, we had an unwanted visitor sneaking in the Villa. Somehow he sneaked in and stole my dad's Nokia Communicator phone. It kinda put a stop on our smiles for the day.

We didn't let it effect us too much, we had a good rest of the day before we left for home. That thief will have his day one day, a fate worse than just a missing phone.
