Bayi kecil kita yang bernama Kumi sekarang umurnya sudah mau satu tahun. Karena itu, demi menyambut ulang tahun proyek kecil itu, saya dan Kiki mulai brainstorming secara intesif. Maunya kita besarin jadi apa sih calon anak ini? Teruus sampai suatu hari, kita menemukan satu titik berkilau yang tak mungkin diabaikan. Yap! Kenapa ngga dibikin jadi offline store beneran aja ya? Kebetulan waktu itu  kita dapat sebuah penawaran yang sepertinya cukup oke. Maka..dimulailah misi baru kita mengumpulkan berbagai resource dan kelengkapan sebuah offline store. Sungguh, ternyata ngga gampang ya mulai segalanya dari awal. Mulanya saya dan Kiki menyusun beberapa rencana praktis, terus memilah mana yang harus dilakukan duluan. Ternyata…pada prakteknya selalu ada yang meleset dari rencana, dan selalu ada yang harus didobrak . Tapi semua proses itu ngga hanya mengagetkan, membingungkan, juga sangat menyenangkan. Kita dapet banyak pelajaran baru, pengalaman, dan yang pasti…semangat yang berkobar tanpa henti. Hingga saat ini, proses persiapan offline store Kumi baru sampai 80%-nya saja. Masih jauuuh deh rasanya menuju titik awal, ini baru juga pemanasannya saja. Dari mulai merancang dekorasi, sampai space untuk Kumi selesai dirapikan, sampai menyiapkan pernak-pernik kecil. Seru sekaligus menegangkan…Kadang ngga sabar, kadang ingin masih banyak waktu. Balada si tukang dagang banget ya [...]

Saturday should filled with glorious sunlight. But not that day. That Saturday April 20th, Bandung seems a little shy and hide behind thick rainy cloud. However, no matter how gloom that Saturday be, the three of us ain’t hesitate to move our foot into the next Bandung’s furniture heaven. UNKL347, who has grown famous for their clothing line which started from a small surfing shop under the name 347 back in late 90′s, is now ready to boost into another playground. Under the sub-name Us & Kind of Life, they work into their fans other passion: their home. Using pine wood as their main attraction and of course, exceptional design. After successfully introduced their furniture line last year, UNKL347 now invite young designers to join them in Normal Form (Norrm)‘s first exhibition series called Home Session 001. The exhibition itself run in UNKL347′s own warehouse at Gudang Selatan, famous military warehouse area. Walking through UNKL347 re-purposed gun storage which they claimed in 2004, is like walking into a whole new atmosphere. Though dark cloud and somewhat rocky ground outside, a warm welcoming atmosphere are everywhere to catch once we step inside. Exhibition area spread within front part of the warehouse, while back area [...]

Biasanya saya pake coin-pouch biasa untuk tempat STNK & kunci mobil. Tapi beberapa hari lalu kepala risleting pouch yang biasa saya pakai rusak, terpaksa deh nyari alternatif. Berhubung butuhnya cepet, males nyari ke toko juga..akhirnya saya motong bahan yang ada di rumah, lipet sana-sini, tahan pake snapper….jadi deh Bener-bener pouch instan! Mudah-mudahan sih umurnya ngga ikutan instan hehe…     ❀❀❀

What does May stands for? Def not the famous May-be yes or May-be no :p The month May was actually named after Maia, Greek Goddess of fertility. Or as Ovid say, comes from Latin term Maiores, means “elders,” followed by June which means “young.” But to me, May is short for Me and You. A small surprise project for friends which absorb the spirit of May. The project will start from mid of May & ends following the end of May. It’s a small project really Details about the project will land on Little House of Rena’s Facebook Page, where the main event will take place. As for now, whole Rena’s factory is busy making prep for the project. Because while it is a small project, it is a small project for friends. It has to be special, meaningful, and memorable. Little House of Rena has been a self-fulfilling project this whole time. Yet you give me your kind support through this wonderful journey. I have in my mind a blue-print of how the Little House would be. But none of it will happen without your support, and your support has gotten me through low moments up to this day. Me [...]

Jumat minggu lalu (5/4/13) kelas Rinjani, kelasnya anipchan, kebagian berpartisipasi di Economy Day SCM. Pada event ini, anak-anak di ajak berwiraswasta dengan menjual makanan hasil kreasi sendiri ke sesama siswa. Berhubung anipchan ngga mau bikin parcel, saya tawarin anipchan bikin makanan untuk dijual nanti. Tahun lalu, anipchan bikin minuman jelly pake yogurt yang populer itu. Nah..tahun ini, seperti sudah saya duga…dengan suara 5 oktaf anipchan langsung bertitah: SUSHI! Waduh! otak saya langsung muter ngitungin bahannya hahaha…tapi sejujurnya, saya seneng banget anipchan inisiatif milih makanan yang mau dia buat. Berarti dia bakal semangat kalo saya ajarin itung-itungan bisnis, sekaligus main di dapur sama-sama. Pasti seru banget! 3 April 2013 Yogya Riau Junction didaulat jadi lokasi sesi pertama Sushi Adventure kita. Berbekal troly jumbo, saya dan anipchan kelilingan sambil sesekali nyamber apapun yang berbau Jepang dan Sushi di rak-rak pajangan. Ih, ternyata susah juga ya milih bahan yang oke…maklum amatiran ^^’. Tiga jam dan beberapa debat kecil kemudian, saya dan anicphan pun selesai berburu. Waktu itu H-2 Economy Day, jadi kita masih punya sehari penuh untuk nyiapin semuanya Bahan-bahan yang kita beli waktu itu adalah: makisu plastik beras Jepang bumbu instan untuk nasi sushi (isinya kalo ngga salah cuka beras, gula dan [...]

I lo~ve icons! When I'm designing my website I went through many many free icon set on the web. There's bunch I love, specially when it comes to cute icons. So~ much great designers out there! Sadly, there's not many icons truly gave me what I need. Sometimes they includes my favorite social networks but lack of few that I really need. Sometimes they do includes all networks I need, but the design is too basic.

I actually write this few years back to get anipchan to sleep. He likes it so much then, ask me to read it every night. Now he's grown, but Remi can still be around! So I draw him a little. Although my drawing isn't that good, I hope Remi's friendly & playful character gets to show well :)

Sssh…be quiet when the dark fall Keep silent and hear the angels sing Sweet loving tender Like love of the universe Birds all tweeting melodies Children are singing lullabies On [...]
