Wanted: A Stylish Car

Setahun terakhir ini penampilan saya berubah menjadi cukup modis. Tapi mobil saya tetap tidak berubah. Sebuah family car yang culun. Supir saya saja pernah berkomentar, “Bu, mobilnya udah nggak sesuai dengan penampilan.” :)) *dem* Akhirnya pas Indonesia International Motor Show 2011 (IIMS), saya sempatkan mampir untuk survey kecil-kecilan, termasuk cari tahu soal harga dan test-drive....

It’s good because people start to realize the importance of listening to your right brain, instead of just using left brain like what we’ve been doing all these times. But I’m pro of balancing the usage of left and right brain. I have a...

Money Diary

As a 28 years...
