The ones with the leap of faith
Today was the first day back to the office and I was surprised to see these pictures hanging on our community center :).
Turned out, Toples, our photographer worked hard last night to have it hung until 3am! A few months ago, I told him about the idea of having the wall of fame in our community center. We made it a secret project. Took picture of everyone and told them it was for the press card. Little did they know we turned it into something like this. And Toples still managed to surprise me because I didn't know he was planning to do it last night.

WhatsApp, Little Girl?
Recently, Jehan discovered a new technology called WhatsApp....and Blackberry Messenger. Aand she is messaging everyone she knows, from her grandma to her cousin and her mbak. Aaand she always asked me every few minutes if so and so has replied her message. Tsk tsk.
Well, maybe it's how you hone in your writing skill in this modern days, no? By the way, she can navigate the touch screen effortlessly, but it takes her some adjustment with Blackberry Qwerty. I wonder if everything will be touchscreen in the future.

What Do You Mean, The Good Old Days?
I had a nice conversation today with Nina (the girl behind Go Girl Magazine) and Kennedy (the guy behind Globetrotter Magazine) with his wife, Muriel. We were talking about the media industry and how to run the media business in Indonesia. Since we're all entrepreneurs, of course the discussion led to managing a business, the challenge we face, the project we're working on and so on.
I think we're all agree that a big part of managing a business is actually managing people. Go Girl started way earlier than Female Daily Network so Nina has gone through a lot, from happy times to tough times to even tougher times. Just like Female Daily, Go Girl started small. It's still a growing company where they have to learn through trial and error on what's work and what's not. Go Girl back then of course is a lot different than Go Girl today considering it's been more than 10 years since they have been around. And of course, that's a good thing. If they stay the same that means they're not growing, right?
