One night with Tina an ex colleague from my office. Now she works for a different company. Just like a reunion, I and Ellya accepted her invitation for dinner at the valley. She drove us up to 'Dago Atas' with her likely brand new car. She kept appologizing if she had uncomfortably driving the car, while i kept answering no her driving was okay, and i were fine. Conversations run along the way to 'The Valley' mostly bout the past when we used to be in a same company. Finally we arrived. It was a lil' bit cold and windy but nice. A lady as her courtesy lead us to what so called dinner area, an arty place with candle as a lighting to create romantic air.
Dinner a la carte, we began to check what's on menu and decided to order after 15 minutes. Ellya liked to have tom yam gong soup, cake and orange juice, while Tina and I preferred to have something hard as she ordered Tenderloin steak with veges and i had combo platter which consist of prawn, meat, chicken cordon bleu, and salad. We both ordered hot lemon tea.
After waiting for about 30 minutes the tom yam gong soup was served, finally, continued with orange juice and hot lemon tea for three of us, and then the cake and the tenderloin steak for the ladies. After long hours after that my combo platter came up! Thought i would have it two days later pffff.....
We ate and enjoy the meals while conversations continued.. Now reviewing begins...
1. Tom yam gong soup ---> taste like a rotten sayur lodeh (javanese cuisine) but seems Ellya liked it since it almost empty.
2. Kahlua Cream Cake ---> excellent taste! but too much sponge cake on it
3. Tenderloin steak ---> it was just perfect with excellent side dishes
4. Combo Platter ---> too sour, the cordon bleu was great, the prawn wasnt so bad but the rest were terrible. Absolutely not recommended.

Would love to explore other menus someday to compare between the cozy place and the food. They should be balanced. But it's hard to find, isnt it?
nevertheless, it's a nice place to have a coffee together with friends, chit chatting and relaxing.

An Evening With Sheila Madjid

Lagi enak - enak tidur ngringkel gara - gara dingin akibat hujan seharian tiba - tiba HP gw bunyi, ternyata dari Dik Sheila Majid: "teruk sangat abang ni tidor melulu, adik nak nyanyi ni di senayan. abang datang ya... mmuuaachhh..." buru - buru mandi dan langsung meluncur bareng bageo menuju mulia senayan... reservasi dulu di depan resepsionist, ninggalin nama dan nomor lepon gw sambil nitip pesen ke mbaknya minta tolong kasih tau dik sheila kalo gw dah nyampe. Mbaknya cuman ngangguk - ngangguk, gw pun diem di tempat nunggu reaksi yang lain. Gak berapa lama mbaknya nanya lagi .. "langsung masuk aja mas, nggak usah nunggu sheila disini" "mm... gw gak nunggu sheila disini, tp gw nunggu goodie bag nya" "lah mas jatahnya cuman satu udah diambil temennya tuh" (sambil nunjuk ke arah mas - mas yang ngeliatin gw berdialog sama si mbak) Temen gw yg ditunjuk tadi merasa terlibat dalam dialog, pelan - pelan nyamperin gw... "napa?" "ini mas, m...

ULTAH MILIS LAPANPULUHAN BERSAMA 105.1 PRO2 FM

Dalam rangka ulang tahun milis lapanpuluhan ke-2 hari Rabu, 16 Januari 2008 kemarin, beberapa member (Elvi, Unggul, dan Doni) bersama Q sang founder diundang untuk mengisi satu spot acara di radio Pro2 FM 105.1 Jakarta. Acara yang tentunya mengemas topik seputar 80an ini awalnya hanya berdurasi 1 jam, tapi karena keasyikan ngobrol, sama penyiarnya ditambah menjadi 1,5 jam. Dipandu oleh penyiar Pro2 FM Lia Ahmadi dan Yudi Ismail , yang semula saya pikir bakalan kaku (tau sendirilah RRI Style seperti apa) ternyata acara berjalan santai bahkan seperti lagi ngobrol biasa saja. Yudi membuka acara dengan polling lagu2 duet 80 an yang digemari: 1. Emosi Jiwa - Yana Julio & Lita 2. Sebuah Obsesi - Fariz RM & Neno 3. Kisah Insani - Vina & Chrisye 4. Nada Kasih - Fariz RM & Neno 5. Kenangan asmara eramono dan andi meriem 6. Begitulah Cinta - Harvey & Vina 7. Kesempatan - Oddie Agam & Dewi Yull 8. Bahasa Cinta - Broery & Vina 9. Ekspresi - Indra Lesmana & Titi DJ ...
