It's been a phenomenon recently, in all over the world - and with no exception, here in Bandung.. Meet the 'fixed gear'.. or call them 'fixie' if you like.. I like to call fixie as 'bike that belongs only for you', heheee.. isn't it great??! hahaaa.. no no no, just call it fixie, it's easier to say anyway.. :P
Well, I won't explain many thing about fixie right now, since I planned to make another blog to talk about bike (and might be with a little fashion and style on it..) hehee.. Wish me luck and wait for the link soon..!! ;)
Hope I could finish my first post for the blog this weekend..
Anyway, here in Product Design Itenas, we have quite a large workshop. With so many students and so different interest we have here, sometimes the workshop is fun to be seen. On a same time, some students could be working on their task.. while some doing experiment with resin, aluminum, or some other materials for making jewelry.. and some other could be working on their side job, or their own project, make some 'receh' (small amount of money) for 'jajan' (buy little things), hahaaa..
Well, this fixie-thing make so many of us doing a same thing on a same time.. Yup, we are making our own fixed gear..!! Many of us built up our own bike since couple months ago. Some like to have a city bike, while other want a racing, and some doing fixed gear..
Mine, was built up secretly by Sats.. Just met her last week, and I dooo love her a muchmuch!! ^o^ Hyaiiiyyy.. thank yooouuu..!! ^o^
Update-->> Here is the link to my other blog.. I try to capture every single cyclist with their own style-to-bike in my town.. Enjoy it..!! ;)

Feeewwwhh..
After a long long semester, finally I finished my last project at the uni..
Well that's why I haven't posting for ages :P
Anyway, talk about that later..
Now I want to introduce you this little pixie..!! It's my other uni-project. One of my favorite!! ;)
I designed it when I was in my 3rd year.
In Bandung we have a lot of great shoe makers. For that case, my uni ask their 3rd year students to design something related to at least one of them. The project itself depend on the student, what problems do they face, what market do they missed, what opportunity that they didn't even know it was exist..
While in that time, I was like truly madly deeply in love with figure skating. Although I couldn't even spin on the ice, hehee.. :D
We don't have winter here in Indonesia, of course, but we do have some ice rinks.. and lucky me, we have one here in Bandung, so guess what I did for the whole semester when I wasn't at my uni? Yep, hanging around outside the ice rink, observing some skaters, and had baked potato with different sauces and teh botol for dinner almost every day..!! (there was a booth that sold potato with great sauces near the ice rink, I forgot their name, sorry :P)
I did it because I wanted to make a figure skate. Well yeah, imagine a figure skate that was made in Indonesia, the country that never had a winter?!! I thought that would be cool!! So I decided to learn all about ice skates.. Like how it's made, the problem using an ice skate, some type of boots for skates, and some other things related to it.
Then I came up with some sketches like this..
..pick one as my final design and produced the boots at Cibaduyut, the central area of shoe production in Bandung..
..and tadaaaaa..!! meet my pixie...
I haven't test it yet, due to the closed ice rink in Bandung soon after this pair has been done. But couple weeks ago, a new ice rink has just been build up in PVJ, yihiiiii..!! Well, I should spend some time there this week or the week after.. we'll see.. ;)

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^
