Living in Lovely Jakarta

B o o k - L a u n c h i n g

Living in so called "J-Town" (read: Jakarta Town), is giving me unique experiences. Except for the really bad traffic, we still can find and enjoy some beautiful stuffs in this town.

Name all the great big events that you might see in some Hollywood magazines, yes you can find it here, in this lovely J-Town. From gala premier, beautiful luncheons with celebrities to formal events that required you to think really really hard to know what to wear and to match the hair do and nail polish color with what you wear. Just to make sure that you will look nice on the magazine :D Nice, hey?

I am glad that I had a chance to taste some of the greatest events happened in this town. Some events just a "Hi and Bye" type of events, some of them are quite intimate events.

The recent one I attended was an intimate event of my friend's book launching that held in Thamrin 9 Ballroom, UOB, Jakarta. The reason I'd like to mention this event is because I am so proud to have a friend that so talented in writing a beautiful book called "Portraits of Inspiring Chinese-Indonesian Women". Wonderful job, A.D ;)

Here I post a picture to proof that I, not only enjoy luncheon with beautiful people, but also enjoy coming to a book launching event :)

It's an honor for me to host such a beautiful art exhibition. The event held at ART1, Jakarta. It is one of a wonderful museum galleries in Jakarta. Big space, clean, modern and indeed, has a great art collection.

Finally, there is a good quality museum in Jakarta that I can really enjoy the ambiance and the collections.

Macaroon Tea Room

I found that, paired with a cup of tea, macarons are the perfect treat on a rainy day ;) The not so hot nor so warm water on my cup just a perfect time to sip my tea.

At moment like this, it makes my feeling become emotional since been years after I had to shut down my tea room (yes, it is only for temporary shut down). I miss you, MACAROON TEA ROOM

Ohh…just want to share with you some memory pieces that I will keep forever as part of my wonderful experienced with my first tea room.

Here I proudly present the ‘used to be’ Macaroon Tea Room..hope you enjoy as I will always do :)
