popsicle weather
just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, it did. -6°F (-23°C) with a f*%&ing wind chill of -27°F this morning when i was leaving the apartment!!! yet another day of taking a cab to work...
btw, yesterday when i was chatting with my cab driver (who's very nice and friendly), i told him i was from indonesia, and guess what he said! "apakah kamu bisa berbahasa indonesia?" imagine how shocked i was. that was pretty random, no? turned out that he liked learning different languages. he's from haiti, so he can already speak french and creole, in addition to english. he can also speak a little bit of japanese. a multilingual cab driver! isn't that awesome?

it's always surprising when some stranger suddenly speaking indonesian language =).
I had the same experience here with one of the professor from the music school which make me shocked, but it's always great experience tho ;)

I heard quite the opposite effect on stumbling on stranger who comprehends and knows how to speak Bahasa, eih..whatever..hehe..
Gini, si mas-mas satu ini lagi nonton football di stadium-nya A&M, trus ada bapak-bapak bule, gede banget di sebelahnya. Si Mas bilang ke temennya, "Ih gendut banget sih nih orang." Trus si bapak itu nyahutin, "Biar gendut asal bahagia."
hauhauahuaha...Serius, ini kisah nyata.

I found out a potential client of mine is Indonesian. It would be cool to photograph a real Chinese-Indonesian wedding; my wedding didn't count since I did not do any tradition.
