Meradelima Restaurant

Meradelima Restaurant serves fine Olde Traditional mixture of Dutch, Chinese and Indonesian Cuisine .. 

This one that i went to is one that just recently opened in South Jakarta near Wolter Mongonsidih Road .. It is an olden dutch inspired house that's been renovated =) 

No pictures of food but i rather show you its interior =)

Which also is a mixture of the three .. 

Desserts @ Social House G.I

Cheesecakes .. Pecan Pies .. Choc Volcano .. Cocktails .. Mocktails .. Martinis .. Pizza .. Cakes .. Tea .. Coffee .. Social Bar .. Winehouse .. Resto .. Bistro .. Overview of Jakarta's famous roundabout - Bunderan H.I .. and of course, Funky Interior!! 

.....................................

If that sounds good then visit Social House at the top level of Harvey Nichols - Grand Indonesia .. but it does get busy and crowded =)

Cocktails @ Casa Kemang ..

 Yes it has been too long that I paused my blogging ... at this phase of busy work time ... I am trying to get my social life back on track .. 

My long-distance friend Angelika, has just visited ... took her to some Hawker Street food in Jakarta Town but our last stop was to have drinks @ Casa - Kemang .. 

I first got introduced to this place by an editor friend Lia ... and loved it eversince =) 

Its a great place for light snack food .. for drinks (cocktails in particular) .. for a discussion and a fun relaxing time. 

They offer a cosy dim place with lounges and armchairs of such a simple design yet funky colourful pillows!! Reminds me of a Swiss Design .. 

Oh!!! They also ............provide small group games like UNO Stacko (Genga) and Classic Deck of Cards .. 

Sorry for the almost-pitch-black photos .. 

This place is a nice visit!

Loving Single-larity ..

Not worrying about my Single Life ... at the moment, I'm just enjoying it ... 

One revelation that pass by my mind ................

"About Men: The GOOD ones are always taken ... but ... the BEST ones are yet to come" 

All the single ladies say: "AMEN" .. 

Spring Fabric

Been busy with projects here and there .. 

So i'll just leave you by this inspiring fabrics .. 

Love Spring!! Love Floral!!

Sanana - Maluku Utara

Squeezing in a little holiday time in the midst of another Project Survey ... 

This place has soooo much potential for resorts and tourism place =) 

All pebbles ... a Pebble-Full Beach .. 

Water so clear and blue upon the view of mountains and islands .. 

Didn't bring my bikini but didn't let this opportunity come to waste! .....so i jumped and swam with whatever i had on .. until it was dark about 7:30 pm .. 

And then i saw "GlowBugs" glimmering in the water!! Awesome!!

Piece of the Week : "Golden Gilt Bed Frame"

There's nothing more "lovely" than seeing a perfect piece that fits so "right" and "beautiful" in your bedroom .. regardless if it the bed side that holds the novel you read each night, the lamp you switch off before you hit the La~La~Land, maybe its a pretty bed cover that keeps you warm during cold night ... or even better, maybe its the Man you love sleeping beside you =) 

... Until i reach the part where i wake up beside the Love of my Life ... for me, its this lovely Golden Gilt Bed Frame w/ Button Upholstery .. 

You can dress it up or down ... glamourous or shabby chic!

Dress it down with plain White Sheets and Covers .. Dress it up with a rich dark velvet cover .. maybe an opulent purple or a deep maroon velvet .. 

Shabby Chic by playing with the cushion covers! The typical olive green, ivory, dusty pink and floral patterned =) 

Glamourous by involving Black, White and Gold accessories ... 

Anyway you choose this Bed Frame makes it my Piece of the Week =) 

Have you got anymore visualization on how to make this item work if it was in your room? 

Let me know =) would love to know more pretty ideas! 

Loving Our New Living Surroundings

We recently moved further away from the City area of Jakarta .. 

We are now living in one of the Natural, Un-polluted area ... 

May not be a huge deal to those of you who resides in a Beautiful 4 Seasons Country, but for us in Indonesia, it's something different ... 

Its a lovely up-down hill boulevard filled with Green Trees ... a Lake with a Ship-Wrecked Playground ... a Jogging Track all along the River and of course the "awesome" Clubhouse!! 

Clubhouse has Spa & Sauna, humongous Lap Pool, Tennis/Basketball Court, Play Area and Gym!! 

(which i shall upload some pictures soon!)

Not to mention, the weather here gets quite cool at morning and night which is just lovely!! 

I'm definitely loving it!! 

I just need to find the time to decorate the house .. order some furnitures in .. furnish here and there ..

Just some steps away from living the almost-perfect life!!

Cupcake Cravings

Yes ... once in a while i get crazy Cupcake Cravings .. 

Since i can't get my hands on Mery Ng Pattisserie - Sydney .. Luckily, there's this lovely shop where i was able to stop my craving after Vanilla-Vanilla Cupcake .. hihihihiii .. 

Visit: www.my-cupcakes.com

Favourite Interiors: Miss Pettigrew Movie Apartment Set

Have you seen the movie "Miss Pettigrew lives for a day?" ..

I came across this cute movie and straight away fell in love with the Interior Set ...

It was based on an Era about the 1939 . 

I LOVE the setting of the apartment .. its very Classic Manhattan Style with a touch of art-nouveau and neo-classical .. 

The colours that it brings to the movie set is just gorgeous .. 

The genius behind the set is the lady name : Sarah Greenwood .. her other Interior Settings includes movies like The Atonement, Pride and Prejudice and the upcoming Sherlock Holmes

I definitely recommend to watch the movie for the Interior Sake!

Home: Front Porch Wall

During the weekend .. we did our Front Porch Wall ... all pretty and flowery!!

Adds that lil' sweet touch to it =)

LOVE it!!!

Piece of the Week : "Victorian Rose on Wicker Armoire"

My Piece of the Week this time comes from Jepara - Central Java, Indonesia .. 

This is an actual Antique piece instead of a Repro ... 

i LOVE the hand-painted Rose on the wicker door!

Project : October - November

Here are some sketches i thought i'd show you .. based on my previous rough sketches before. 

Its one of our Project for the month .. hoping to get it finished by next month delivered to our client's house .. 

Solid mahogany and rattan (wicker) finished in smooth textured White-Wash colour .. 

For those furniture lovers, stay updated for pics of the finished item (hopefully sometime next month) .. 

Expect French-y ... Simple yet Pretty ... Carved yet Pure .. 

Floral: Green and Pink ..

Thought i remind you of what beautiful mixture that Green and Pink produces .. 

I've LOVED Pink since my teenager years .. and one time i went to Ikea with the "Mystery Man" of mine .. we saw some wall lamps which had Pink and Green .. 

He was determined that Green shall be my new favourite colour .. i didn't see it then .

So i skipped that Wall Lamp and instead purchased myself a White one (my favourite colour of all times) .. so let's play safe, i thought ... 

For the last 2-3 years it has finally absorb to me that Green and Pink do make a pretty little something .. =) 

The Venetian Resort - Macao - Lobby and Overview

I'm back from my Vacation / slash / Business Survey .. we stopped by Macao and stayed at theVENETIAN RESORT .. The interior was an absolute divine to view .. and so here i share with you the Lobby and Overview of the Entrance .. 

Had to take the pics at about 4:40ish am to avoid the crowd .. 

Enjoy!! 

LOVE it!
