Most of these pictures were taken at one place in Bandung. It's called the Batik Fractal. Here is the headquarters of the batik design company. They created a software to design a batik pattern with the collaboration of a batik artiste, mathematician and software programmer.
Together, they created the software jbatik. They showed us how a batik is designed and can be seen in 3D! It was really cool but pretty complicated as we witnessed them do the f(x) calculation. Feast your eyes on their office. It looks nothing like an office, isn't it?

| If I'm not mistaken, there's also a tuition centre behind Batik Fractal |
For the last picture, this was taken at a restaurant that the Institusi Teknologi Bandung (ITB) students recommended us for dinner. They recommended fried ubi kentang with noodles. So the purple stuff you see is fried sweet potato and the brown are minced meat. Really tasty delicacy.
I remembered while we were chatting with the ITB students, the song Somebody that I Used To Know was heard on the television nearby. K, CY and I actually bounced in our seats when we first heard the xylophone notes played aloud! I was excited to see the screen when it turned out that someone in a macam-American-Idol show was covering it.
Then we were like, "Cheh!" Ha ha.
We started talking about Kimbra, an up-and-coming singer from New Zealand. It was Q who first told me about it and now the repetitive words of boom boom-boom ba! from her single Settle Down, could never stop ringing in my head. It was such a catchy rhythm that sometimes I find myself out of the blue singing boom, boom-boom ba! once in a while. XD
