My new baby

Yamaha Nouvo Z

I bought a Yamaha Nouvo Z on Dec. 29 last year. Why? Well, to offset the skyrocketing fuel prices....

The price is Rp 12.870 million (US$1,395) for cash. I took a one-year installment package with Rp 4 million as down payment and monthly payment of Rp 996,900. The dealer gave me a Rp 1 million discount so I had to pay only Rp 3 million of advance.

In total I will have to pay Rp 13,965,900 by the end of this year. Not bad a bargain.

Previously, I spent Rp 50,000 for taxi a day commuting home-office v.v. Now the same amount lasts about two weeks ....... ;)

(US$1=Rp 9230)

Rearranging postings

Today I have just rearranged my blogs by back-dating my travel articles taken from The Jakarta Post. Previously they were posted not according to the dates when they were published.

Some of you may see it as cheating but it's for orderly sake.

You can expect some more back-dated postings.

How does it feel to be 33?

Am I old? Am I young? It can be half empty or half full. Some say I got one year more while others say I got one year less. Suppose that I got 66 years in my life time, this year is already the middle of my life. I have 33 years more to go while last year I had 34 years to go.

Whatever.

And don't expect that I have party as I was stuck in the office uploading the website. What a way to celebrate my birthday.

Well, whether it is one year more or one year less, still plenty of things to do.

Web counter ready to record visitors

This is just a small announcement that I have put web counter from Free Counter Plus to my Blogspot blogs. The counter is free but it carries a link to an advertiser. You can generate it randomly. Well, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this cruel world. :P

The good thing about this counter is that it has a (basic) site statistics. While the design is basic, it comes in several color schemes to match your blog design.

So, for those who have not use this webcounter, have a try.
