Smells Like Coffee

It's Halloween soon, you might have prepare costumes for the kids, or for you? Decorate the house and bought some candies for the trick or treat hours..

Designboom just held a competition called Seoul Cycle Design Competition 2010, in collaboration with Seoul Design Foundation. It's just ended with tons of great designs on the shortlisted entries. You can check them all here.

And here is the winner..

design by : nils sveje + Design: Inoda Sveje design studio + Technology: IPU Produktudvikling from Italy

designer's own words:
Bike 2.0 the next generation bicycle, will give you more fun with energy boosts when you are cruising around. It makes you daily ride more comfortable with energy leveling and the stepless gearbox. You can even add the seat-tube battery and get there faster. Bike 2.0 has a generator and wires instead of a chain, so you will never get oily pants or fingers from the chain again. The two wireless control-units will control any aspect of your ride. You can easily control all this with the two wireless rings on the handlebar.



Hooow wooaaaww..!!
You know, I think I don't have any more words to say.. They have explained everything.. But I'd like to say that I love how they keep made it simple with the shapes and colors.

Simple can be fun too..!! ^_^

It means 'I like Orange' in English..

I do like Orange as a color, a fruit, and now I also like it as a mini-resto, hihiii.. There is a new Japanese restaurant in town called Orenji. Long time I've been waiting for a resto that serve a cheap-delicious-big portion of Japanese foods and beverages, and now here it is.. hahaaa.. I'm so happy that the place is not too far away from the uni, I could cycling there, hehee.. XD


See..? The place is quite small with a very simple decoration. Oh, I like the logo by the way.. :D


And this is my favorite.. They named it 'Matcha Ice Green Tea'.. How funny is that? They named it green tea two times, matcha and green tea, hihiii.. I don't know if they do that on purpose but that's fine since it taste good.. :P and you know what? The glass was big enough that I could spent about two and half hours there chit-chatting with my friends, hahaaa.. :D


Oh, I just remembered.. Their ogura ice cream was also good.. ;)

So, it's my first day joined the Car Free Day in town. Here in Bandung, we are having it every Sunday morning to 10 a.m. Well yeah, it's a short time but I think it's enough for a starter, I hope everyone in this town could started to have an eye for the cyclist.. ^^
Anyway, my bike was just got back from the workshop and I'm ready for cycling again, yaaaiiyy..!! XD


Gather together with friends and family..


One of my favorite.. The woman on purple and yellow fixie..


Some fixie men with their fixie style.. folding up the jeans..

Bandung had tons of guests last Sunday. It's because of the Art Market that was held at ITB. They held that event once every 2-4 years (if I'm not mistaken), and for this year they held it on one day only so people came from all over the nation to see this.. that's why you had a long long traffic jam on that day if you used a car or motorbike along Dago and some other nearby streets.

I went to ITB art market with widz and could only hold my breath about an hour there because of the crowded.. I couldn't take better pictures than these.. It's hard to take a picture inside that crowded living humans that walking on all over directions.. -_-"



Some works.. Some booths..


Some ant mans and the giant ant mom.. ^^


Those are the art works from Baduy, a tribe in Banten - West Java, Indonesia. I always wanted to see them in person, kinda curious about how they live life. Some of my friends that had been there said some of them are still primitive. When we go there we are not allowed to bring any gadget or some other things from their 'outside world', not even a soap..!!


And this is my favorite, from nato art..

Actually, there were some fashion booths too, but since it was really hot and crowded and our stomach are screaming for foods and the food booths are full of people, we decided to go out of there and find a place that quiet and serve good food and cold fresh beverage..

Oh and I did found that place, not far away from the exhibition, on the side of Dago street, a cute little Japanese restaurant called Orenji.. I'll tell you guys later cause my eyes are so heavy rite now and I really need my nice little green-orange-yellow pillow.. :D

Just read D's blog, Hot Chocolate And Mint and curious about the quiz that she talked about.. Then I took the quiz and got this for the result..


Hahaaa.. Even they, called me miss perfect.. ^^

It was Saturday.. Evening.. At the uni.. And everybody were just having fun with their own bike..


Paused for scratching the itchy hand ^^!


Texting.. Oh hey, it's another red rear rim..


And smiling to people around..

Meet Oka..


and Agra..

Have a great weekend..!! :D

I watched The Experiment with Sats and Ondy last Monday and yes, the movie was awe to the some..!! hahaa.. Tell me I'm over-react but for some reason I just love this movie from the beginning to the last scene while Ondy is also feel in love (again, more..) with Adrien Brody :P Well after seeing this one, who wouldn't anyway?? heheee..

Meet Sats after work..
He is a lecturer and designer at the same time. You might rarely seen a man on a bike with this neat and chic style here in Bandung, since those young executive out there prefer to use a motorbike or a car rather than cycling to his office. ^^
