RED THE STADIUM

The photos taken by my brother, Elyas Tampubolon. It's me and my friend whom yesterday watched live for final match AFF Suzuki Cup Indonesia versus Malaysia at Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) Stadium, Jakarta. It was amazing match with awesome euphoria from Indonesians !!! Yeah that's true that we were not the champion for AFF Suzuki Cup 2010, but we won the match yesterday, it was 2 for Indonesia and 1 for Malaysia.

- First Picture is me at my room before going to stadium. I used red t-shirt, red shoe, black jeans, Indonesia National Flag and Ulos (batak traditional clotch) as a costume.
- Me with my two best college friends, Imanuel and Bayu. 
- (from left to right) : Hanif, Imam, Rizma, Me and Dheny.

and just like what Cipu's said, it will be better if I put pictures of a whole stadium, guess what ? I have these two pictures. First one was euphoria outside the stadium, and the second one is 3 hours before the match began.

There are keychains in my room

Keychains are my new collection. It started about couple months a go, when I had a holiday in Vietnam and about to buy souvenir for I bring to Jakarta. At that time, I saw keychain, and I starts to love it, quite unique and eye-catching, but the most important that I love from keychain is it's size, small, so make it the most practise yet simple souvenir to carrry, isn't it ? Since then, everytime I traveling I always buy keychain for my collection (yet there are also some keychains are given by friends).

Little bit explanation, the orange devil and the elephant wood are from Thailand, the orange devil I bought when I traveled to Bangkok last September, the elephant wood I got from my friend. Green People I bought from Vietnam last August. Eiffel Tower I got from my sister, she bought while she was traveling to Paris from her office. University of Toronto was given by my friend from Canada who is college student there. Last but not the least, The one look like crab's claw I bought from Belitung Islands couple weeks a go. 

Anyway, I used my brother's camera, it was Canon EOS Kiss X4.

Beauty of Belitung (again)

Wohoo..it's quite a long time haven't posted anything yet to my lovely blog and I really miss you all guys.

I want give something I brought from Belitung couple days a go. Belitung ? Yes, I went there again* for about a week and just got back to Jakarta couple days a go. What can I say about my trip to Belitung ? All I can say is 'WOW'. Yup, Belitung still can amazed me. From It's beauty beaches, the people, foods, very fresh air, and so many other things that will make thousand words if I listed here.

No, no, I am not forgetting you all, in fact I bring my photos for you guys to see. Do treat your eyes by seeing this beautiful pictures (oh not intend to be narcist), do write me if you have any questions about Belitung, how to get there, where to stay there, etc and I will be happy to help you guys with my answer.

Well, no need any words again, here they are the photos I bring special for my readers.

p.s :
- First picture is a Dam Pice. The dam was built in 1936 - 1939 with architect named 'Sir Vance' which his name used to call this dam 'vence' become 'pice'.
- Second picture was a viewed from the top of Lighthouse in Lengkuas Island. 
- Third picture is called Kao Lin Lake. It's not a real lake actually it's an ex tin mine. 
- Fourth picture is called Pig Island, near enough from Lengkuas Island.
- Fifth picture is Seruu beach. It's located in Membalong area. The best thing from this beach is not so popular among the tourists, so we can still enjoy the very nature beauty of this beach. The wave quite calm, it just a perfect beach in my opinion.

Rumah Bolon

things in my room.
This is a miniature of Bataknese traditional house, which called Rumah Bolon. Bataknese* is one of hundred ethnics in Indonesia, located on North Sumatera. I'm not really sure when did I bought this thing, but I'm pretty sure I bought it when I still on my Junior High School ages**.
About this photoshot, I made my brother's bed as a background (see the white things around the miniature, it's explain anything) and also used my brother's camera*** , which I hated so much. You know, the more I learn taking pictures with DSLR the more I want to have it. 

p.s :

Bangkok, I'm in Love

Bangkok I'm in Love. A perfect title for this post. Here is the story behind this post's title, about two weeks a go me and couple of my friends had a great oppurtunity visited Bangkok, a beautiful city located in Thailand. I can say my five days four nights with my friends in Bangkok was so much glorious, joyful and fun, and yes of course I can say for sure, I'm in love with this city, so fuckin in love. Seriously, a beautiful city, has it's own unique. If you ask 'so, do u want to go there if you have that luck again ?' , with very confident I'll say 'oh yea of course, if people being asked with a same question who will say no anyway ?' ..

So sorry but I have no things to bring back as 'oleh-oleh' for you guys, these photos the one I bring for all of you (there will be more pictures from Bangkok next post). Keep update and be curious !!!

Seriously, I lovin this photo so much, the photo were taken  about last January, 2010 and as I remembered, this photo  taken about couple days after I bought my very first own digital camera, Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FS42. Inside photo are my second sister (up) and my nephew (down) from my first sister. At that time, my sister was hospitalized, so me, my brother, my nephew and his mother (my first sister) are comin to give a visit.

p.s 
See their eyes, aren't they look the same ? 

Things In My Room

Twenty days, that's how long I haven't post in this blog. Not because I have nothing to post about, or I'm too lazy to do it, it just because my college student status is really taking almost my days, lecturers starts giving assignements every single week, can't u believe it ? despite that, me with my friend and my brother had quite a busy time couple days a go. We (HutaHita Fotografia) had a photoshot, so my friend who is a catwalk model ask us to take her pictures to renewing her portfolio. So, we made it. The photoshot was really a fun time yet crazy time (we had almost 6 hours of photoshot), but then again, we happy for the results. Want to see them ? just click here.

Anyway, today, I have my 'mini house' (I got it from my friend's wedding, couple years a go). I love the color, it's so colorfull and cheerfull. What do you think ?

-----------------------------
p.s :  I use my brother's camera. It's Canon EOS Kiss X4

Searching For The Light

Yesterday, after hours helped my mother cleaned the house and cooking chicken teriyaki for 'arisan' at my home around 2 pm I took a bath and then suddenly I got an idea to shoot my self. Despite it was been a long time I didn't do a self-photoshoot, there also been a long time (more than two weeks) since my last post here, so I think it will be great if I do self-potrait then put it on my blog.

I used my Lumix DMC-FS42 to shot and my own room as the location. So, here is the photo. I called it 'searching for the light'.

The Old Cathedral

Wohoo, it's thursday again. Time for black and white post. I know you guys can't wait to see what do I have for today, rite ?

The picture taken by me, with my old mobile phone Corby txt about four months a go. I took the picture while I walked with my high-school mates. I just love this picture, a big old cathedral in a big city like Jakarta is just amazing. Fyi, the church had been outstanding for more than hundred years, and it's one of the eldest church in Indonesia.

Back In The Day

It's wednesday 1.49 pm here now, and I think it is good to remember the old time, just back in the day for awhile.

What I have now is my photo which taken by my brother about two years a go, when myy brother need a model for his photography subject final test. He asked me if I want to do the photoshot or not couple days before the day, then I asked permission from my office (I was a customer service on one of the biggest airline in Asia) for that photoshot and my boss gave me his permit.

and the idea of this photo was japanese style.

p.s : my brother used nikon d200 for this photoshot.

Parking Lot

Wow, time ran so fast lately. Thursday comin again, and it's time for blackandwhite meme photo-post. What do I have today ? Here is the photo taken by my friend, Deddy Samuel Hutahaean (my partner in crime for photography things, well, beside my brother of course), with his Nikon. The location was on Tan Son Nhat International Airport, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

*For my friends, please, take this photo as a gift from me, LOL.

Brighten Up

I took those pictures just yesterday when I came visited my mom n grandma to Cileungsi. I have no idea what flower is on the first picture, but I can tell you with the second one. That is watermelon's flower, my mother did planted some watermelons on her own garden. You know what ? I have to say that was my first time saw watermelon's flower. Yeah right, so far I only knew about the fruits and thanks to my mother, because of her I'm now know what watermelon's flower look like, and yes it is beautiful.

Luxury, is it ?

The concept of this photo was meant to be Luxury*. I have no idea at first what I'm going to shot, and when I saw my sister-in-law's shoe suddenly I got an idea to combined shoe and jewelry of my sister to create luxury look. So, this is it the photo (critics welcome), what do you guys think ? is it Luxury enough ? :

* Luxury was the theme from photo contest that I joined with this photo. Will I win the competition with this photo? well, let us wait and see next week when the winner will be announce.

Old Lady

That's my grandma's photo, which I took couple days ago when I came visited her. Fyi, She's 97 years old already and will be 98 on this August 17th. What I adore from her is the spirit, she still can do walk by herself, bath herself, well I can tell that she still can do almost everything by herself, great huh ? for a 97 years old lady ?

Bring the Flowers

These are photos which successfully I captured with my Lumix when I visited* my mom on the last three days at Cileungsi, West Java. Yes off course I have a lot more than these three pictures, but for now I uploaded only the flowers-leaves. How bout the others ? just be patient, I'll show the rest tomorrow.

Pink - Black

Actually I really don't wanna post anything today, but it changed when my brotha came home bring the piggy-nose from his boss's birthday party. It's like the idea to taking pictures attack my head, seems hands no pocket camera right now won't ever ruin the idea. My corby txt was the gun I used now, I quite satisfied enough for the results. With no more bullshit, here it is the photo :

The Light Of Sun

with CORBY.

Okay it will sound funny or disgusting story behind these photos. First started when I chatted with my friend Rezty on YM, we've talked about many things 'till one point I felt like 'ouch' my stomach, so I decided to go to restroom by mean to sit on and start pull out my poo, but soon it changed when I saw the light of sun beautifully shining my restroom so I thought it will be great if I took couple pictures before I did what I suppose to do before.lol. - Um, not funny ? okay hit me for being unproffesional comedian. The best part ? of course photos I took with my mobile Corby txt camera, here they are (with no edited at all) :
