Pantone 2011 Color of the Year

It is February already; I’m a little late to post this information. By the way, for you that haven’t yet known, Pantone Color Institute has announced Honeysuckle (Pantone 18-2120), a reddish pink hue, as its 2011 Color of the Year. Honeysuckle relocates Turquoise, 2010’s anointed color.

In a press release, Pantone Color Institute mentioned Honeysuckle as "a brave new color for a brave new world." Honeysuckle will look good on our walls, and it will also convey the confidence we need to "meet life's ongoing challenges." In times of stress, we need something to raise our spirits. Honeysuckle is a captivating, stimulating color that gets the adrenaline going – perfect to fight off the blues.
Do you like this color? If you prefer to catch Honeysuckle into your home decoration; you can add little touches of Honeysuckle to your home. See the images for your inspiration.

Nephew

Meet my youngest nephew, Azman Fitra Ramadhan. He’s almost five months, but the weight is already 10 kilograms. He’s a big baby boy! When we visited his parents’ house two weeks ago, I’ve got a chance to take some pictures; after having an afternoon bath. He’s a special boy, since his parents have waited for eighteen years for having a baby. May his adorable face brighten your Monday!

The Back Side of the Museum

I still share things that I saw at the back part of Fatahillah Museum (Jakarta, Indonesia). I like seeing the backside wall of this building that full of windows.

Bifold Doors

Bifold doors are magic in small homes and units for concealing those not-so-attractive work places such as laundries, home offices and sinks. A metal track is installed along the head of the opening you wish to close off. Smaller than conventional-width doors-louvered, flush or frames and panelled- are suspended from this track and like a piano accordion, they open out or fold up.

But unlike a conventional door, they only take up half the room. You can cover openings from 915mm to 2400mm using doors 19x35mm thick.
The bottom pivot off which the door turns has to be positioned exactly under the top corner of the supporting door to ensure a smooth folding action. Also, if you hinge the doors by fastening the hinges to the edge of the door rather than by recessing them, you will have the necessary clearance to guarantee easy opening.

A bifold kit usually includes the track, top brackets, bottom pivots, hinges and all the fastenings. The instructions enclosed must be read before beginning the project.
How bifolds work? The two outer edges of the hinged pair slide together along the track. Well, are you interested to install it at your home?

Garden Tram

This garden tram will take you wandering around Nusantara Flower Park (Cipanas, West Java, Indonesia). Just pay the added ticket and enjoy the ride! In our last visit, we didn’t ride it as we wanted to take lots of pictures. We preferred to walk and took a rest every time we felt tired.

Cannon and Fertility

This very old cannon is called ‘Si Jagur’, located on the back yard of Fatahillah Museum (Jakarta, Indonesia). It’s not only historical cannon, but the back of the cannon is actually observed by many visitors. Can you see the unique shape? This hand figure is a symbol of fertility.

Here, there still are a few people believe that the cannon can give you fertility. Just rub your belly (if you’re a woman) to the fertility symbol. Does it really work? I really don’t know, hehehe. I won’t try it, too weird for me.
