The Diary of a CEO's Wife

[gallery] Ahpoong Sentul If you happen to pass by Sentul, in between Jakarta and Bogor, then do drop by at Ahpoong Sentul City. You won’t regret it! You’d be happy to spend time there with family or your loved one. Very nice ambiance, lotsa choices of delicious Indonesian food & beverage. If you drive, I suggest you park inside Belanova Mall, because parking lot in front of Ahpoong itself is so small and almost always full. Besides, the mall has direct access to Ahpoong via beautiful bridge. Good spot to take pics :)) Furthemore, you’ll also experience EcoArtPark just before you reach Ahpoong at the end of the bridge. You & your kids could enjoy some artistic statues, experience science features, observe some plants and animals. My kids scream out loud when they see lotsa snails! From EcoArtPark, cross the yellow bridge to get you to Ahpoong. There, you have plenty choices of Indonesian & international food to try. Getting a seat could be tricky though, especially during lu...

[gallery] Seeing this, I just remember my Indonesian male friend once said, “In general, only American men want to marry American women because they’re too independent and exalting equality. And in general, Japanese men only want to marry Asian women because they always want to be served on everything.” And tonight I just had conversation with American guy who said, “My first days living in Indonesia, I’m so mad because I lost my freedom to do everything by myself. I become dependent too much on everyone: driver, maid, office boy, everyone!” Cultural diversity.

[gallery] Google Indonesia actually has been in Jakarta since March 2012. But just recently they moved to a new office in Sentra Senayan II, 28th floor. Honored to be among their first guests last week (27Nov13). Google offices always keep the startup feel & spirit. There’s no boundary between any level, all googlers are equal. Even the CMO’s desk is right beside an intern. And unlike most offices in Jakarta, Google Indonesia has no office boy. So everyone is responsible to clean up their mess. Every part of the new office is amusingly cozy, as you can see it from the pics above. They made it that way on purpose: so that the googlers feel free and comfy to work in any part of the office. Fyi, they dont have absence system. Their laptop is their office, they can work anywhere they want. Every corner is beautifully designed with local ornament. The main Google logo behind reception desk is decorated with batik stamp maker. Why not batik fabric? Well, apparently because there is Googl...
