Story from Iron Man

Yesterday I watched Iron Man in Setiabudi One. I don’t want to make any review about the movie because there are already many reviews about this movie on the internet. I just want to tell you story about annoying couple that sat next to me while I was watching the movie. Btw for you that have already watched Janji Joni might remember about 10 characteristic of movie viewers inside the studio. One of the characteristic is the noisy couple type where the girl always ask the guy about the things happened on the movie. Well I never think that this kind of type was exist until yesterday I saw and heard by myself.

Here are some quote from the noise couple:

The girl: “Loh itu orang yang tadi yah”
The guy: “Iya”

The girl: “Loh kok dia masih idup”
The guy: “Iya”

The girl: “Injaction itu apa sih”
The guy: “ga tau”

The girl: “itu kok bla.. bla.. bla.. bla..” (nanya dengan pertanyaan yang sangat panjang)
The guy: “hmmm..”

And many more…

I really amazed with the guy because he really was so patient and answered all his girlfriend question. Although he might just answer with yes or no =P

When I watch movie in the studio, there are few things that I really hate related to the viewers. First I hate if there are too many children inside because they can really make some big noise. Either they cry or laugh to much. Second I hate if there any teenager groups (especially when they all women) around my seat. They tend to always make not important comment about the movie. Third I hate when people come late and they cannot find their seat. After yesterday, I think I should add one more. I hate to sit next to the noisy couple.

Sate Kambing Klaten Bapak Tulus

Kali ini gw ingin memperkenalkan Sate Kambing Klaten Bapak Tulus. Sebenarnya sudah dari 2 minggu lalu pengen nulis di blog buat nge-review tempat ini cuman baru ada mood-nya sekarang =P Tempatnya sendiri terletak di sebelah kiri pinggiran jalan dari arah fly over deket mal citra ke arah kolonel sugiono. Disitu ada 3-4 tenda makanan yang berbeda. Tempatnya baru mulai buka dari sore hari sampai malam (ga tau tutupnya kapan, cuman gw pernah dateng jam 10 malem dan tempatnya masih buka)

Harga yang ditawarkan agak sedikit diatas rata-rata yaitu Rp. 16.000 per 10 tusuk sate. Namun jika dibandingkan dengan rasanya dan ukurannya cukup sebanding. Ukurannya tidak jauh lebih besar dari sate-sate kambing biasanya hanya sedikit lebih besar. Tentu saja yang menjadi unggulan dari sate klaten ini adalah rasanya. Gw jarang sekali bisa menemui sate kambing yang tidak tercium bau kambingnya ketika gw memakannya. Nah di sate kambing klaten ini gw hampir tidak bisa mencium bau kambingnya.

Karena pada postingan sebelumnya gw membahas dombrut, maka disini gw akan membandingkan head to head sate kambing klaten vs dombrut.

Harga

Sate Kambing Klaten: Rp. 16.000

Dombrut: Rp. 25.000 – 30.000

Tingkat Kebauan Sate (skala 1 – 10 dimana 10 adalah yang paling bau dan 1 tidak bau sama sekali)

Sate Kambing Klaten: 2

Dombrut: 4

Kualitas cara pembakaran satenya (skala 1 – 5 dimana 1 yang paling bagus)

Sate Kambing Klaten: 3

Dombrut: 1

Ukuran sate

Sate Kambing Klaten: Lebih besar sedikit dari sate kambing biasanya

Dombrut: Lebih besar sedikit dari sate kambing klaten

Kalo menurut pendapat gw sendiri sih gw lebih suka sate kambing klaten dari pada dombrut karena baunya itu. Lagipula harganya lebih murah dan tempatnya lebih deket dari rumah gw =D

Selamat mencoba =)

The effects of internet viral marketing throughout blogs are very huge nowadays. Last Friday, Maya asked me to join her and Bima to try Sate Marrangi in Duren Tiga. Since I already read kuya’s review, I became really interested to visit the place. At first I rejected Maya offered, because I knew that it was not a good idea to go to Mampang Street on Friday night. As we know the traffic jam at Mampang on the weekdays is so bad moreover on Friday night. But because of the effect from the review, finally I accepted Maya offered and the journey began =D

The meeting point was in Bima’s house. I told Maya to go to my office in Landmark so that we could go together by my motorcycle. But on the way Maya went to my office, she met Dikey. Long story short, Dikey joined our Kuliner Team and they went to Bima’s house by taxi as I rode on my bike there alone. Just like what I had been predicted, the traffic was like hell. It took 50 minutes for me to reach Mampang from Sudirman but it was nothing compared with the girls since they almost spent 2 hours.

After Maya and Dikey arrived at Bima’s house, we went to Maranggi by Bima’s car. Duren Tiga was not far away from Mampang but unfortunately the place already closed when we arrived T_T so we decided to go to Dombrut, the place that also being reviewed in kuya’s blog. Fortunately the place is not too far away from Duren Tiga. Dombrut is stand for Domba Garut and located in Ampera Street right in front of Medco Office.

This photo below is the first ordered food that we made =D

In this picture below were the specialty from Dombrut. Dombrut Satay Special with Fat (left upper side) and Dombrut Satay Special (right below side). What makes it special because they use has dalam (ini inggrisnya apa yah) for the special one which means the meat is more tender than the usual one. If you don’t like the fat you can just order Dombrut Satay Special.

The taste was just like the look. The meat was so tender and the way they roasted the meat was just perfect. They served the satay with ketchup. But too bad I still can smell the lamb. And for the tongseng and sop sumsum taste were also good but not that good. Nothing special from the taste.

What odd from this dinner in Dombrut was Maya ordered Indomie Goreng with Dombrut Topping -____-‘

The price is kinda expensive for me, but if I think again from the size of the meat and the taste I think is quit worth it. This are the price list of the food in Dombrut:

- Dombrut Satay 25.000 IDR

- Dombrut Satay Sp with Fat 27.0000 IDR

- Dombrut Satay Sp 30.000 IDR

- Sop Sumsum 20.000 IDR

- Tongseng 21.000 IDR

In summary I think dombrut is one of the best satay in Jakarta that you should try *viral marketing detected* well see you on the next place, hopefully next time we will not become the follower of other review =P

The 7th Episode of Apprentice Season 7

Posted in Uncategorized by bobz on the February 17, 2008

There was no single lesson that I could get in this task. Usually in every single episode Apprentice I watch, I always try to digest the key word that really prominent in the task, but not this one. There is no challenging part in this task. The type of the task was almost the same like in the 1st and 4th episode.  

The task itself was really straight forward, they must ran horses and carriages in central park and the team who made the most money wins. Both teams already learned from their experiences in the previous task. They didn’t need to worry about the complicated things to win this task. All they had to do was, called their contacts and asked them to help them in the name of charity.

One thing that really interesting in this episode was no body got fired. This was the first time in Apprentice history. Donald Trump really had a difficult time when he had to eliminate one person from the group EMPRESSARIO because there was no single flaw in each person job.  They really could get along on each other as a team and each person did a great job. So because Donald Trump was felling charitable, he didn’t fire one person. In my opinion, he did that just because he could not find any reason to fire someone.

I hope the next episodes, Donald Trump will not give this kind of task anymore. This type of task can not show each person skills and knowledge. They might also already run out contacts =P For the last, I also hope Piers and Omarosa are on the next line to be fired xD

The 6th Episode of Apprentice Season 7

Posted in Apprentice, TV Series by bobz on the February 10, 2008

Wow I am really amazed with the men team, HYDRA in this task. After Donald Trump gave the task of creating a living window display for the new Vera Wang mattress product, my opinion was the same with Trace Adkins, they completely screwed. They didn’t even know who Vera Wang was until they have given this task. Fortunately, they successfully managed to follow the clue from Vera. The task itself was judged based on three things which are creativity, brand imaging, and entertainment value.

HYDRA managed to think outside of the box compare with EMPRESSARIO. They able to show the romantic things with showing Cleopatra and Marc Anthony live in the modern world. EMPRESSARIO itself was kind of playing safe and got the wrong direction. The bride thing was kind of giving the impression of playing safe and of course it wasn’t so creative. I think they got the brand imaging part and entertainment value, but not the creativity (oppose with George opinion that they only got the brand imaging part only).

From my opinion, there are two strong players in HYDRA. The first is Piers Morgan. Even though I don’t like his leadership in the previous episode (5th), but he gave a great contribution to his team. In this task for example, he able to get what kind of symbolic thing that this product wanted to emphasize from the interview in the executive meeting. And the second is of course Trace Adkins. He always can get a great and strong slogan. He is the creative brain of HYDRA. No wonder if he can make so many hits single on the top of the country music chart.

In summary, the key word that really prominent in this episode was creativity. Try to think outside of the box, and the men team did.

Salah Siapa?

Posted in Jakarta by bobz on the December 12, 2007

Sebenernya yang salah itu si penumpang apa supirnya yah? kalo si penumpang ga ngeberhetiin di tengah jalan, si supir juga ga bakal berhenti sih. Harusnya sih nunggu di halte, tapi haltenya mana? Apa lagi-lagi ini salah Pemerintah? Haiyah 5 tahun lagi Jakarta kayak apa yah..

Pasif Income?

Posted in web 2.0 by bobz on the December 12, 2007

Model bisnis jaman web 2.0 memang sangatlah inovatif. Jika dulu orang-orang perlu membayar untuk memakai jasa pelayanan internet sekarang orang yang memakai jasa itulah yang dibayar. Kalo kata mesin pintar di film ‘Quickie Express’ pekerjaan yang bisa membuat anda puas dan klien puas itu adalah gigolo tapi pernyataan itu bisa ditepis oleh shareapic. Dengan menggunakan jasa sharepic kita tidak hanya bisa mengupload gambar secara gratis tanpa ada batasan quota namun juga kita akan dibayar sebanyak $0.22 per 1000 pic views. Bayangkan kalau kita mengupload gambar untuk konsumsi para penggemar BB17 :P

Kemarin juga sempet baca ada website social networking online yang membayar penggunanya. Apakah fenomena ini hanyalah tren sesaat atau memang bisa diandalkan untuk mendapatkan pasif income? Memang gimmick marketingnya sudah oke tapi apakah implementasinya juga akan berjalan dengan baik? Ya kita lihat sajalah ;)

Movies List

Posted in Holiday Activities by bobz on the October 21, 2007

Berikut ini adalah list film dan tv serial yang telah menemani hari-hari libur gw:

Film

  1. Premonition

Awalnya tidak begitu tertarik, gw nonton cuman karena disuruh do’i (halah.. doi) tapi setelah nonton ya not bad lah hehehe.. ceritanya cukup menarik karena si sandra bullock menjalani 7 hari dalam 1 minggu tidak berurutan tapi lompat-lompat dan berakhir dihari dimana suaminya mengalami kecelakaan. Cukup dramatislah dibagian2 akhirnya.

  1. Wild Hog

Agak kecewa ama film ini, gw kira kekonyolan dan joke2-nya akan mirip2 kayak film old school tapi ternyata tidak.

  1. Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift

Skenario cerita yang aneh dan buruk, masak si pemeran utamanya bisa nyelonong ke tempat yakuza dengan mudah terus minta maap dan ngajak balapan buat nyelesain masalah yang ada -__-‘ tapi tetep aja filmnya keren =D balapannya lebih ke skill nge-drift-nya dari pada pake NOS2-an

  1. Disturbia

Ya tipikial thriller hollywood lah. Si pemeran utama cowoknya yang maen di transformer jg. Dan akting paniknya dia bener2 sama kayak ketika dia maen di transformer hehehe..

  1. Sex is zero

Hohoho.. udah nonton sih waktu di lambir ama anak2 kos tapi iseng aja donlot lagi. Very recommended korean movies-lah. Joke2-nya khas korea bgt.

TV Series

  1. That 70’s Show Season 5 dan 6

Currently funniest sitkom yang belom pernah gw tonton (yang udah kayak friends, scrubs, joey)

  1. Heroes Season 2

Yayaya we all know heroes-lah =D

  1. Desperate Housewives Season 4

Ahhh.. walaupun udah season 4, ceritanya masih belom ngebosenin. Di tiap season pasti ada tetangga baru yang pindah. Dan yang pasti tetangga baru tersebut menyimpan rahasia yang akan menjadi cerita utama ditiap season.

  1. Gossip Girl Season 1

Hohoo ini merupakah serial terbaru yang lagi ngetrend di amerika (sotoy). Berawal dari si do’i yang iseng2 browsing di tv.com terus ngeliat preview-nya jadilah dia menyuruh gw mendonlot. Lalu setelah nonton 5 episode perdananya nampaknya cukup menjanjikan hehehe.. ceritanya kayaknya sinetron banget tapi versi yang lebih baik. Kenapa kayak sinetron karena sama2 menjual kemewahan hehehe..

Sebenernya masih banyak tv series2 lain yang pengen ditonton tapi karena liburan telah usai yah nanti2 dululah.. dan akhir kata saya mengucapkan terima kasih kepada fastnet yang telah memberikan benwit yang cukup untuk mendonlot beberapa tv series yang sedang gw tonton =D
