I shall continue yesterday post on Aplaus Fiesta. I managed to catch the fashion show with the sponsors: Sogo, Bellagio, Body & Soul, etc. Actually I would love to see Sofyan Kwan’s fashion show on Saturday night. Nah, let gone be by gone.
I stand at the wrong side for I only see the models’ back. -___-” The main camera is at the other side. Come look at me and the camera here sweetheart…
They made me jealous with their long sleeky leg. I wish I could have one, one pair I mean and not one leg only of course.
I like this one at the left side, from the hairstyle to the clothes. Ahh.. I wish I have such a long sleeky leg, slim and tall like them. Dream on babe.
Anyway, from all of Aplaus’ designers work at the showcase, I like this one the most, by Mahadi Erick. Very cun.
After all, the event was great. I’m proud of it and the team behind it. Sesuatu dari anak Medan untuk anak Medan sendiri. Bagus untuk perkembangan dunia desain dan tulis menulis. Hope to have it every year 
I spend my Sunday at Sun Plaza from 2pm to 8pm. Yes, freaking 6 hours in the mall. 3 hours for lunch and tea time, catching up with each others. It’s good to see the old friends.
Another 3 hours walked around, went in shops, stopped by the atrium to see Aplaus Fiesta.
I met and greeted Yenny. My first time seeing her in Medan after 6 months here. =P It’s good to see her again after such a long time. But, she’s busy with her job coordinating the show, so no chit chatting this time.
The MC Arie Dagienks.
There is TAROT READER, Rp.25.000. We wanted to try it, but somehow canceled it.
APLAUS COLLECTION corner sells stuffs that were designed by Aplaus’ designers. T-shirt, cap, mug, pin, and birthday card.
APLAUS PHOTOGRAPHY, 30 pieces of photography from the expedition “Setapak Sumatra”. All by Aplaus’ photographers.
APLAUS TALENT, live demonstration from the creator of the comic strips in Aplaus tabloid such as Joni Ooh Joni and Peppermint.
APLAUS SPOTLITE, you can take pictures like a celebrity on the red carpet, 3 pictures in a CD.
APLAUS SHOWCASE, shows the designers work.
WALL OF FAME, with the finalists artwork.
And, here is the winners for the cover design competition.
Here is the finalists’ essays.
Take picture with Nensi first. Nensi is one of the characters in Aplaus with the column “Kuis Pintar Nensi”.
After that, we have a small gathering among the high school friends. The one who took this picture didn’t wanna be inside. Anyway, I just realize that one of the top questions when meet the old friends is, do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend already? Finally someone is no longer single. Yes, Lolo is attached. The Teh Botol for this afternoon is the celebration for that. -__-”
There is people who just in a relationship, people who just break up, people who has been in a relationship for years, and people who is single. Among all, I am holding the record for having the longest relationship, 3 years plus. Nah, just hope that it will last forever and ever.
Tired tired tired. It’s time to go back. Singles or someone like me with the far away punya boyfriend, transportation will always be a problem. Taxi is the solution. Single woman is a good target for them. This time around we don’t need to discuss the fee with the taxi driver until get mad. EXPRESS taxi has a good service I think. We get the taxi inside the mall’s carpark. It’s damn worthy if you take it with friends. It uses meter with minimum fee Rp.20.000. If the fee is below Rp.20.000, you will be charged Rp.20.000 still. It’s Vios eh~! Normally taxi like MATRA will charge at least Rp.25.000 to Sun Plaza with damn rude driver.
I’m gonna have a good sleep tonight. There is still pictures on the fashion show. Tomorrow only adjust and upload liao.
It’s a gloomy Sunday as the sun is hiding somewhere behind the cloud. Well, perhaps she has played too hard last night, resulted her didn’t get enough sleep. Therefore still has no energy to shine as bright as usual.
Anyway, I am still so damn pissed off because of yesterday thing. It’s the continuous interview from last weekend. This time around I should be meet up with the Boss. But nah, instead of seeing him, I was asked to wait for about 30 minutes, sat there like gong kia to know that he cannot come. Wtf?
You asked your manager to make appointment and this is the result? Does being a Boss means you can do whatever you want to do? Does being a Boss means your time is very important and therefore you don’t like to wait and waste your time? How about me? My time isn’t less important than yours wei. Kanasai. The company won’t grow big with a Boss like you.
It’s not like I have confirmed that I want to work in the company and just waiting for the Boss confirmation. No! I myself still want to consider once the Boss said about the salary and work thing. Fucking waste my time. And I just remember that next weekend I will start my Mandarin class and I’ve agreed to make the 3rd appointment. Ai si. Should’ve consider again, if I really don’t want, better don’t go.
Ah let’s put those thing aside. Off to take bath and beautify myself first before the girls come. Hopefully it wont’ rain.
The greatest design and essay competition in town is coming to the end. The winners will be announced tonight at Sun Plaza atrium hall with tonnes of shows. It will be huge, great and crowded.I’m referring to AAM ( Aplaus Abdi MahaKarya) by Aplaus tabloid. A bit about Aplaus, it is a free lifestyle tabloid in the town, delivers in the readers hand on the saturday, once in two weeks time. When it comes, me and the colleagues will fight over it, see who get to read it first. Lol.
Anyway, AAM is the biggest design and competition in the town, I would say. This is their first time. It was said that there is 140 participants in the design competition with Medan-Kuliner town as the theme, and 58 participants in essay area.
Tonight there will be lots of shows from 6pm to 9pm at Sun Plaza, the most happening mall in the town. There will be singers from Jakarta; Gail ex ‘Yovie & The Nuno’ with Arie Dagienkz as the MC of the night and Ben Kasyafani as the VJ. Besides announcement of the winners, there will be fashion show by Sofyan Kwan, local designer, with the theme ‘Journey of Evolution’ and tarot reading.
One of the Pak Tuntung’s cartoon srips.
The shows doesn’t end tonight. For tomorrow, there will be Peppito Band, Fashion show ‘Street Glamour’, Street magic, etc. There will be live demonstration on Pak Tuntung character (the comic strip in Analisa Daily) too. Not only that, the comic strips in Aplaus will be exposed too. During that 2 days, there will be exhibitions, from Aplaus Showcase to Wall of Fame AAM, etc. Whoa!! It’s gonna be the most happening show and competition in the town. I plan to catch tomorrow show with the besties 
Oh, today’s Aplaus is talking about awards and winning, with one of article – “Winning Advertising Awards: What’s it all really about?”. Text by Janet Lee and translated by Yenny, two wonderful women I ever know. 95%’s award winning students is in the article too, with the Crowbar 2007′s pictures.
Reading the article, I was brought back to the training room and travelled through time. Insight, target audience, strategies, ideas, I haven’t been dealing with them for such a long time. Sigh. I like advertising but I don’t like the having-no-time kind of life. =P
Then, the colleague asked me, he is always the one with so many questions in head -___- ,”if you were to choose between winning an award or having a smooth successfull business, which one will you choose?” Well, I think it depends on the field. If it’s advertising, I’ll choose award for it will bring fame and acknowledgement, successfull business will follow later on.
I’m really looking forward the shows. Weekend is more colourful this time
There was once a case in Indonesia where the video of the celebrities changing clothes in the changing room was being exposed to the public. It was known that the mirror is actually a 2 way mirror, means not only we can see our reflection but also the person behind the mirror can see us while we can’t see him.There is a way to check whether it’s a normal mirror or 2 way mirror. Put the nail on the mirror surface. If there is a gap between the nail and the nail’s reflection, that means you are safe because it’s a normal mirror. But if the nail touch the reflection directly, be careful because it is a 2 way mirror.
I always practice this while in the public toilet or changing room. Be extra careful is better than find out the video or pictures of yourself naked while changing, around the cyber space.
