Bule Masuk Kampung…
Last weekend we decided to take another break from Jakarta and head back to our new favourite retreat, Novotel Bogor. We first stayed at the hotel in October last year very spontaneously after doing some recce for a commercial shoot, and instantly fell in love with the place.. and have been wanting to return ever […] Read more »
Welcome to 2016! Yes, it’s already nearing the end of January and time seems to slip away so quickly that I haven’t been able to catch up on all the photos and stories that I have wanted to share with everyone since I last posted. Infact I don’t even know where to begin from where […] Read more »

Last weekend was the AIS Family Fun Day at the Kemang primary school campus and it was such a fun day for all the kids and parents. I took Samudra along with his bestie Zoe, and as usual they ran all over the place, going up and down the slides hundreds of times, chasing eachother […] Read more »
Sometimes it’s easy for me to forget where I am and take all I have for granted when I’m working from home and trying to find a balance between working and spending enough quality time with Samudra. I take him to as many play dates as I possibly can and make sure he gets out […] Read more »
