MY X-MAS

" Shake it up,

Shake up the happiness!

Wake it up,

Wake up the happiness

Come on y'all 

It's Christmas time

Ho,H o,Ho

It's Christmas time :) " 

My favorite X-MAS 2010 song has to be the ones from TRAIN - Shake up Christmas! I love the beats and simple lyric that brings out the happiness of Christmas to those who listen to their song whether they celebrate it or not.

MERRY late CHRISTMAS from me and hope all of you had a wonderful X-MAS Celebration. Unfortunately, I missed the joy on X-MAS day as in fact, I went to doctor at 3.30 am in the hospital and asked for medicines. Thanks to the trio of flu, cold and fever that made me so down and slept throughout the whole X-MAS. However, I had to be thankful to be able to celebrate X-MAS on X-MAS Eve with friends , thanks LORD & Universe.


The party on the 24th of December is planned by my best friend, Andi and unexpectedly most of those who got invited came along! We had our time at Glasshouse, Pluit, West Jakarta with around 25 people or more. Unfortunately, I was so doomed throughout the whole time! the cough, the red left eye and fever kicked me down so I didn't really have much fun as I should or else, it would be totally the best x-mas party ever! There were so much laughters and joy that we shared on that day! Funny things happened, silly games were played and totally great atmosphere and companions to spend the X-MAS Eve with. WD Andi, you nailed it =)!

Taken from my friend's camera! see, I'm quite happy holding my present =P

Honestly, tell me what do you think of the Video fusion that I made yesterday! I'm the one who did everything from the shooting, editing and ideas too! Yeah, though I'm so sick on that day but my photographer and videographer soul made me still able to capture the moments. Anyway, lately I'm hooked by videography and thinking of deepen my skill towards it especially with the awesome camera I've, I should utilize it to the max, right? he-he-he!

Of course, I also got myself gifts (not one but lots :p). I decided to spend enough money towards buying new lenses, new camera bag (horaii), rechargeable batteries, and also 2 pairs of jeans and more to come too! I still in search of buying clothes but haven't found the one I really want, so need to hunt them down :p! HEY! my friends also gave me x-mas presents which are : Doraemon Mini-Fan and umbrella! Ha, finally I got new fan! Thanks boys!

This is what I got for my mum along with X-MAS cookies, chocolates and white-chocolate peanuts. I saw this cute Santa Claus cushion and suddenly, my thought goes to mum. I'm definitely happy that mum likes it too and beside it's huggable! 

Once again, MERRY LATE X-MAS and GOD BLESS YOU & FAMILY :-)

EDU & LITA - WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

EDWARD AND LITANI! I think it was 3 months ago on September when I did their PRE-WED at local areas. And suddenly, it's their wedding I captured today! It's unbelievable on how fast time really flies! Both of them are very supportive and energetic couple who live life to the fullest with laughters. Seeing them is just like watching comedy drama movie, so lively :)

Anyway, don't need to write more, here are some of their wedding photos which I captured on the day. And just like how we all have seen them around, they are also the same on their wedding too! They laugh while walking down to the aisle and it's really fun seeing them!

CONGRATULATION to  happy-go-lucky couple whom I've known for quite a while. For more photos, you can always check my Page's on facebook under the name of Aozora Photography. And thank you for being my fans and rechecking the photos too! 

Of course, I also captured photo with them too and our photo is the funniest anyway at least for me and for the people in the frame! Both of them told me to hold the bouquet in a hope that I'll be finding my soulmate anytime soon! Aren't they so adorable? ha-ha-ha! AMIN to that brother & sister :)! 

Cuppa Coffee Review

Cuppa Coffee is the place where I had these food and drink. I forgot what my drink called; it's either Green Tea Latte or Fraps, I'm not quite sure but theirs is a must to try! I never fond of Green Tea but I gave myself a go and without disappointed with its taste. The price is around Rp. 27.000 ($ 2.70) not too expensive! Oh yeah, you can find Cuppa Coffee in places where Carefour is around ( I think so)! I had mine the ones at Permata Hijau ITC but I know they also have it at Puri Carefour. 

Then at Cuppa Coffee, they offer this main courses menu into several package with a price around Rp. 50.000 ($5.00). Unfortunately, when I went there, they didn't have the stuff I wanted (I forgot the pancake called). But anyway with 3 main courses for a price of Rp. 50.000, then it's cheap right? Mum ate their Mushroom soup while I ate their Sandwich and Pancake. 

I don't know how the soup taste since I hate mushroom but mum didn't complain at all, so I guess it's alright. While the sandwich itself is just too plain but well, you can't expect much for a package right? Their pancake is very good except its just too thin. The oreo cracks, chocolate syrup, vanilla ice-cream and oreo cookies blend very well in sweet pancake. 

Good place too eat pancake and drink coffee while waiting but not a good place to hang-out with your friends. It's good for meeting but I think the way they designed their place it's more like a coffee place for an individual. Grab their main courses package which is cheap (including soup, 1 main course and 1 Pancake). I spent around Rp. 87.000 (including tax) in total and quite full afterwards.

Shabu-Shabu Slim Review

 

This Shabu-Shabu restaurant has to be one of my favorites at the moment. I don't know where-else Shabu-Shabu Slim is at, but I eat the one at Central Park, LG. They are Cheap, refreshing, and delicious with three kinds of soup you can choose. I love their Tom Yum soup a lot while their chicken soup is just ordinary clear soup (they should make it much tastier).

With just a price of around Rp. 80,000 ($8.00)/person, you can eat as much as you want with a time limit of 1.5 hours. They have meatballs, fried tofu, the delicious fish ( I don't know what its called), etcs, various of vegetables, few kind of Sushi and some deserts too! If you come down there on Monday or Wednesday, then you must try their delicious Green Tea Ice-Cream (mixed it with Strawberry ice-cream make it yummier!). For me, it's cheap and totally worth it!

And well since I'm sick and too lazy to take a photo, so I just captured mum's face ha-ha-ha. Hey, this is my third visit! The First and Third with mum while the second one with my friend, Devi. You can either eat it in a group or you can just sit in the bar with your own hotpot! The service is also friendly. So, highly recommended to try ;-)

PS : Don't compare them with Hanamasa although the price is slightly different. In here, they only offer Shabu-Shabu and for the taste itself, Hanamasa is far away from here. Hanamasa is good but this one is a lot better!!

Another Pancious Menu

Pancious has become my favorite restaurant to eat and hang out with for the past 2 years. I love their food, beverage and ambience too although sometimes its too crowded =P! Their pancakes is delicious because of the variety of toppings they have. "Manggo Cheese Double Pancake" used to me my favorite but right now, I'm just picking any random pancakes I feel like eating at that day.

Their pasta is great too apart from the carbonara and my friend recommend me which one to choose. Well, I've tried most of their pastas even the newest one - Chicken Blue Cheese and each of them is highly recommended. So, my friend decided to order "Chicken Blue Cheese" and she likes it :)

While my lunch is a bit different than usual. I decided to eat their burger again after the last one I like. This one I forgot what it's called really but there's bacon and beef and totally recommended!!!! It's delicious although it looks not too big but you'll definitely be full with it!

Hengky & Jeanny - WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

 Honestly speaking, I've no idea at all about the couple I shot even for a bit of it! Mum just told me that I should captured their wedding ceremony around 2 days before the date. I don't know who is actually related to my family from dad's side line - whether it's the groom and the bride! However, I know the aunty who invited us there is actually my grandpa's third wife's daughter :)

Anyway introducing you, HENGKY & JEANNY whose wedding was held at Dusit Mangga Dua Hotel on 12th December 2010. Congratulation for the couple and GOD Bless both of you ^_^. And for those who love my photography please kindly join the page on my facebook : Aozora Photography. Thanks for joining in advance and if you are interested in me being your wedding photographer, then do check out the Pricelist page and then contact me afterwards, thanks ^_^

 And well the last few photos are just random personal photos of three of us at their wedding - Me, Mum and my friend, Devi.

And while waiting for our driver to pick us up, I saw this cute X-MAS decoration that the hotel's has and I love it. Though I'm tired yet I still push myself to capture the photos with my unsteady hands LOL
