I’ve been preoccupied for the past couple week (weeks?) that i haven’t had much time to update my blog, let alone realize that it’s already July!! my, my.. where did time go?
anyway, here are some backlogged pictures. this blog is really turning into a photolog :x
On June 26, my CEO, Indi, took us to this party that was held by one of our partners. that’s when I learned that when they say something is going to start at [insert some time here], it really means an hour later. so we sat around without anything to do, and people were even still rehearsing for the event!
after about 15 minutes of sitting around, this familiar figure came in to sit at the table next to us and my jaw dropped because… it was Megawati! well, not really. Indi immediately informed me before I made a fool of myself that the woman was actually a look-a-like. she to Megawati is like Tina Fey to Sarah Palin last year… although unlike Fey, her similarity to Megawati ends solely at her looks (speaking of Palin, i was surprised she stepped down yesterday! is there a scandal brewing that we’re all not aware of?)
The real Megawati is a prominent politician in Indonesia, who became the country’s first female president from 2001 – 2004. doesn’t really say much b/c we’ve only had four presidents before her since 1945. also note that she was not elected, rather she was appointed to become president after the previous president was removed from office.
She is currently running for presidency again this year, after being defeated for re-election back in 2004. yeah, i know this may sound odd… to top it off, the guy who defeated her is also running for re-election against her this year.
finally we got to eat around 7, then stayed around for about an hour before bailing. after all it was Friday and we were all dying to go home after a long day at work…
the event was held at a hotel in central Jakarta (but I forgot which) and they had this gallery of gorgeous paintings in the lobby! i loved the paintings. i’m not sure if they were all done by the same artist, but they mostly have this similar style with very vibrant color – gorgeous!
took this on the way out. i love tree paintings / vector arts :) these are my favorite of the bunch!
tried out Sour Sally pink yogurt. Sour Sally basically taste like any other Froyo, but i think they are more sour than most (hence the name). I loved the pink one more than original.
walking around at Pacific Place, where they had this exhibition of animals made out of a bunch of gummy candies. quite impressive!
Pacific Place is a super tall mall! this picture depicts only half of the whole place
at work, we had our press conference yesterday. this is me preparing for the slide to be shown during the event. i have to admit the slide was pretty boring since i only had about an hour to make the slide… x_x but i tried.
standing next to my brother’s banner! it’s (almost) life size if they got the height correctly. can you believe i was wearing a size small for my shirt? I had to roll up the sleeves and tuck in the shirt to make it look normal.
the crew!
i drank two cups of coffee that day and it was enough to keep me going for about 24 hours… this is why i rarely drink coffee even though i love the taste.
lunch time!
and some design work i did (and printed) last week:
Indi came up with this idea of creating a one way sticker to further promote our event. unfortunately because the sticker was made in a hurry, i failed to realize that the back screen wiper would get in the way.. thankfully it is removeable so for the time being the car has no back wiper :P (btw Indi came up with the catchy tag and the concept. i only did the photoshop work)
printed and distributed a bunch of these over the past few weeks. not to mention the poster (which looks like the notebook), press kit (which were distributed over the press con) and thousands of entry and car passes we are about to print this week.. it’s safe to say we will all be busy until the end of this month :’(
