A New Smartphone - iPhone 4S - is Coming...

2012-01-28T10:08:00.000+07:00

Did you see iPhone 4S ads on newspapers yesterday? I was quite surprised to see its ads as yesterday was its launch day in Indonesia. Telkomsel and XL are iPhone’s partners in Indonesia. Both are very optimistic on the new smartphone sales. I am not familiar with this iPhone family. The new features of iPhone 4S are really tempting.... iOS5 with 200 features, iCloud, 8MP camera, Siri, etc...

Dear Pak Alwyn, Yes, we enjoyed the performance, but apparently the show was not the one my kids wanted to see. They wanted the barongsay from Thailand as mentioned on their flyers, but the one we enjoyed was from Jakarta. Anyhow, it was quite entertaining... I left the mall before the fireworks and came back after the fireworks... Central Park was full of people today, especially in the

My experience seeing "the real wild" komodo dragons yesterday in Komodo island is really unforgettable. They are really wild animal who freely live without any tight involvement of human being.

Regarding Citos, this year I have been there several times. For what purposes? Meeting with a business partner! Simply we chose the place because of its good location: between our offices and close to exit gate of toll road. Just ordered F&B and we could enjoyed two to three hour meeting! No extra meeting room charge! I am sure some other people also use Citos for such purpose. Of course

Interesting sharing from India, Ashish.. That's a very good idea. People must support that new telecom policy in your country. In Indonesia a telemarketer can easily call us with any phone types and numbers. No regulation. So, their call often disturb us.

I was impressed with Garuda Indonesia when its staff called me yesterday afternoon just for a confirmation from me for my flight this morning. It's a very good move to show company's concern on its customers. It seems Garuda Indonesia personally touches me... What do I mean with my subject email?

They remembered how easy they went to Carrefour and Hero (
