2012 Short Review


It’s a new year, 2013 already.. reviewing what I’ve done during 2012, I think it’s mostly about standup comedy show that I watched during a year =D Luckily that I have a friend who also love to watch standup comedy too.. so I just need to find out about the show and ticket, and she will join me too haha.. Let’s sum up how many standup comedy shows that I watched during 2012:

  1. SUN at Binus by HIMJA
  2. Koper
  3. SUN Jakpus – Batak Nite
  4. Standup comedy show – Buat Pepeng at Rolling Stone Café Jakarta
  5. Merem Melek Kick Off Tour in Bandung, a special show by Ernest Prakasa
  6. Merem Melek Final Tour in Jakarta, a special show by Ernest Prakasa
  7. Standup comedy show for Charity at Coffee Toffee Hang Lekir
  8. Tanpa Batas, a special show by Sammy “Notaslimboy”
  9. Indonesia:, a special show by Pandji
  10. Cowmedy Buddy
Other than those shows, I also visited open mic event which become an occasion for comics to prepare and perform their new bits. It was funny because sometimes they will open their notes because they forget their bits =))

The other thing is about photography. I bought my Nikon D3000 about 2 years ago and and think there’s no significant improvement regarding my photography skill! Too lazy to do the photo hunting as we know Jakarta is full of shopping mall. The most favorite photo hunting spot is Kota Tua and I visited that place too many times *getting bored*. But starting from September 2012, Nikon Team held Nikon Photographer on The Street twice in a month, for free. I joined this event only three times (Kota Tua, Museum Mandiri and Bunderan HI). But not bad, I got 2 t-shirt, 1 camera strap and 1 photo book from this event haha.. If only I could join the previous 3 event, maybe I have 4 t-shirt or more already :p And surprisingly, some of photo hunting member knew me. I even didn’t know who they are haha.. Really hope that next year, there will be another photo hunting that I can join =D

2012 also become the year of travelling for me. Starting from June to October, I have one ticket every month for travelling. It was unplanned to have one ticket every month, it was just happened and I enjoyed it. June was trip to Medan, actually it was a business trip but I extended my stay in Binjai to visit Popo and relatives. July was Singapore trip with sister and 2 friends, bought the ticket a couple months back and finally the day has come. August also went to Singapore, it was unplanned trip >.< because Leehom held his concert in August 18, I hunted a cheap airlines ticket and decided to went to Singapore again. Early of September, I went to Bali with 3 friends. It was a gift to had an opportunity to stay in Ayana, Bali for free. The trip was about beach trip, visited so many beaches and getting tan after that T__T
October was my friend’s wedding in Surabaya. This was my 2nd trip to Surabaya. The 1st time was a business trip back when I was still working in Rabobank. Since it was a business trip, I didn’t have much time to explore Surabaya, and the worst was I didn’t bring my DSLR with me. So, in this Surabaya trip, I prepared my DSLR and captured so many pictures during our trip to Batu Secret Zoo and Batu Night Show in Malang. Besides, we also visited House of Sampoerna and I was able to capture to museum main entrance with my DSLR. The first time I was there, I wasn’t able to capture the main entrance using my pocket camera =D

So, what’s the 2013 resolutions.. I never set new year resolutions for myself. Just go with the flow =D
But I promise to myself that this year:

  1. Will join the mandarin class
  2. Having exercise at least once a week (swimming or walking around GBK on Saturday morning)
  3. Being able to drive a car
  4. More patient -_-“
  5. Do more saving
Other than all those wishes, I’m hoping that everything will be better in 2013, not only for myself, but also for my family. Amen.
