Talked about design.. and my Uni..
Have I told you that I went to Product Design Department Itenas - Bandung? Well yeah, and it's my 5th year. Hahaaa.. time flies.. It's hard sometimes, but I kinda enjoy it. Hope this is my last year there so I could move forward..!! hehee.. :P
Now here are some of my designs from my 2nd year.
cartilage is a table lighting, made of the skin of jackfruit seeds. We call the jackfruit "nangka" in Indonesia. Sometimes people here using the seeds of nangka to plant a new tree, or boil the seeds to be eaten, and sometimes they would just throw it away. But here, we started from a trash that absolutely useless, and made various products that more valuable. And this one is mine. :D
The yin yang table set is simply came from the image of those great yin and yang philosophy. Combined the unglazed stoneware with the blue glazed one.
Well that's it for now.. I'll post the rest later. Have a nice Monday..!!
Keep designing coz it's fuuunnn..!!^o^

Monopoly gets a makeover..!!
Hasbro has unveiled the design of the new 75th anniversary edition of their classic board game, Monopoly, set to hit stores in fall of 2010. "Monopoly: Revolution Edition" is slick and round instead of dull and square, with debit cards and an ATM instead of paper money and a banker, clear plastic representations of the classic tokens (bye-bye, little boot!), and clips of popular songs (like Rihanna’s "Umbrella," Daniel Powter’s "Bad Day," and Beyonce's "Crazy in Love") that play after certain actions.
Wondering if there would be a PC game for this one, heheee.. :D
NGOPI DOELOE - Purnawarman Bandung, West Java - Indonesia
Been there last week. They have something new on the menu, and it's sushi!! Couldn't hold to asked for it.. :P
Unfortunately, no offense, but when I had it, it didn't feel like I was eating sushi. Well, they quite good on the other menu but not the sushi. It may be just me, but the rice is not the one that usually used for sushi, they are too soft, even almost looks like puree. Sorry to say, but they were tasteless, even the small sushi stand have better taste from them. So I suggest you to try the other menu.
They have steaks too, and taste quite good. You should try their coffee too!! Ngopi Doeloe means like "coffee first", hahaaa.. they are quite good on that one. I had coffee blue on that night.

My upcoming final assignment is going to be "designing a furniture for baby". Still working on the proposal now, while finishing my assignment for this semester. So many things have to be done this year. ^^
Anyway, I borrowed this book from my friend last year, Designed For Kids. There are so many wonderful nursery products designed by designers from around the world. Somehow I like this bassinet designed by Min Kang, a senior designer from Boston.
This is YiAhn, a modular baby bassinet, if I can say. Min named it after his son, Yi Ahn. He designed it before he was born to showed his love to him. Ah, I just love the story behind it. :P You can find it here.
The problem of a bassinet is, it is expensive and can only be used for a short period of time. After a few months, it will become useless. For that problem, Min made an effort to solve it. The bassinet can be used for many years than before by transforming into some other products like storage, chair and table. And when the family has a second baby, it can be used as a bassinet again.
What a design!! :D

Nothing much today. Just as usual, chatted with the girls, giggling and laugh a lot :P (think it's good for your health, brought in good mood, hahaa!!) and doing some crazy stuff..!! ^o^
Anyway, I just drop by and uploading some pics.. Lovely latte and macchiato.. Nite! ^^
I can't upload my photo lately because I lost the camera's cable, and not having so much time for uploading it anyway, hahaaaa.. :P
So I guess there is no pic for today..
Anyway, I did Yoga yesterday. But instead of a real Yoga like doing it in a class, I played this game on Wii that feels like doing it for real. The game called Wii Fit Plus, there you can find a lot of things to workout your body like Yoga and Strength Training, and you can do a body test first to make sure what should you do or what exercise best for you. Makes me feel like having a private fitness trainer, hehee.. :D
They called it is a combination of fitness and fun designed for everyone young and old. Hahaaa, it sounds like an advertising. :P
It was my first time doing it. Well actually I did try some Yoga pose couple weeks ago, just to make sure that the game is fine and the Wii Balance Board works, but yesterday was my first time really doing the exercise. Never tried Yoga before, I thought something wrong because I just slightly sweating. My friend had told me once when she doing Yoga she was sweating like rain, then why didn't I?? I thought I wasn't doing it correctly or I might need more time to doing it (I did it for 1 hour yesterday). But what happened the next day of the training is, I hardly woke up today because my abs is hurt like hell, hahaaa..!! (^o^)
Well, let's see how it would change my posture and balance, it's fun doing the exercise and playing game in the same time. ;)
Now back to my assignments.. (>.<)
