  • Satoo and Coto

    Had a lunch in Satoo – Shangri La Hotel this afternoon. This restaurant is one of my very favorites! Love the menu, love lamb-char-siew, love peking-duck, sushi, sashimi, everything. Feels like to enjoy another meal there!


    Read the review here and the official detail here.

    Trust me, you should try!

    Hmmm, am leaving for Makasar tomorrow afternoon, have to replace my colleague for a training in Makasar. This probably my third trip to Makasar.

    The first one, back in July 2005. Read the post from Makasar here. I tried nasi goreng merah (yeaksss.), and pisang epe (another yeaksss.). Also tried Coto Makasar. This one is okay lah.

    The second trip, around November 2007. A friend (…my client) took me for a city tour. He drove me to the seaside, the city, and around and around, and finally taste the original Kopi Toraja, which is slurrrrrppp. Had the coffee at 10pm!

    So, this is the third trip. Not much i expect, as probably i will mostly spend my days alone. Be back on Monday evening.

  • Updates

    One full month since my last post 😀 really busy with works. I worked on a seminar, few presentations, few trainings, and fee headaches. Crazy but fun.

    I’ve been thinking of “remap” and “repackage” suwanditalks.com. In the near future! I am adding my professional side on this website, and this blog will become an integral/complementary part of this website. Just wait for the update! 🙂

    Also thinking about migrating from blogger to wordpress. Dunno why, but it seems slower when i blog with blogger. Slower than wordpress. I know my pal has asked me to consider Vox, but hmmm… still dont have a sort of chemistry with vox, (altho i do read yours, regularly) haha.

    Late already. Chat with Ike minutes ago, she’s crazily into onemanga.com, so probably she’s reading one right now, or watching some Koreans.

    Nighthy night, everyone!

    Sssssshhh, week #20 of 2008 already!!

  • Pavement

    Weeks since the last time i logged in. Anyway, cable tv goes out, probably because i havent paid this month’s bill 😀 hehe, kinda forget and bit of hope that Astro forget my due date, they are not. Happened to catch Adele earlier this morning, and tell you now that i love her voice. Check her out.

    Should I give up
    Or should I just keep chasing pavements
    Even if it leads nowhere,
    Or would it be a waste
    Even if I knew my place should I leave it there.
    Should I give up
    Or should I just keep chasing pavements
    Even if it leads nowhere
    Don’t know where I am, don’t know where I’ve been
    But I know where I want to go

  • Deep

    Am i getting deeper, am i getting deeper,
    to the depth where i can not reach the exit
    Are you still gonna be there on the door
    cause when it close, i know i can not go back.
    Don’t know where I am, don’t know where I’ve been
    But I know where I want to go

  • Melua – Perfect Circle

    So in love with this track from Katie Melua:

    And even when I’m walking straight I always end up in a perfect circle.
    Oh I try but I just can’t wait,
    To break out of this perfect circle.
    ‘Cos giving into old temptation,
    Is like that common twitch.
    Oh the silly stupid realisation,
    The more you scratch the more you itch.

    Title is Perfect Circle. Lovely voice!

    Don’t know where I am, don’t know where I’ve been
    But I know where I want to go
