Asian Beach Games over

the 1st Asian Beach Games in Bali beaches just over.
I was involved in the preparation of the Woodball games venue making with 17 crew from Kiadan, and also with Made -who helped me even since the earlier meetings-, and Preret and Komang of Tenganan.

Maryoto Subekti -my friend in BABGOC, who also a film director, former Bali Broadcasting Council member, karate guru, and a long list of involvement in this and that ;-) -was giving me the chance to be involved in this game hectic preparation. It was not really a difficult job, but we have to work overnights to meet the deadline since the schedule of the Ayodya Hotel, where we built the venue, was already booked for another occasion until just 2 days before the deadline.
We spent 6 days and nights work off-site in freezing Kiadan, at Pasek's place, to prepare the materials.



It was good anyway, since we became the first to see the nice sunrise at nusadua beach ;-)

Team Indonesia -the women team- awarded bronze medal for team catagory, and the Chinese Taiwan no wonder bring home the gold. The game was founded in their country thou.

Just interesting to note that during thus days the news was all about monetary crisis in the US, followed by the UK. Gave a vivid proof to me about the reality behind those highly prestigious capitalism mecca, which naively followed by a lot of countries under their control, including Indonesia. But we have some fun here in Bali, dude ;-) despite the negative publication and the centralistic management of the event..

The coffee price is getting low, since the broker in London stock exchange be in trouble :-( Sad to know our coffee grower friends who just getting excited will lost their spirit again :-(

Anyway, I will be turning 40 in a few days ;-) am sooooo happy.
