| Living
Merapi |
| After
the dusts and chaos fade away. When peacefulness
replacing anger, Merapi brings a lot of blessing
for the villagers around its slope. One of
them is the constant flow of active lava to
the valley near the villages. The active lava
produces top quality rock and sands for raw
materials. Most of the villagers live their
life as sand and rock miners at the valley. |

| The
Last Village |
| It
was a quiet scene. Only dogs, cats and chickens
were seen wandering around. You can see rusty
mailboxes, wooden houses, unpaved roads in
the area. And it is hard to believe that such
scene is in the middle of Singapore, one of
the most developed country in Asia where everythings
seems to be modern and tidy, where apartment,
HDBs and buildings decorating the sky. |

| Dreams
from Bali |
| Bali
has been destination for tourists from around
the globe. They are attracted and fascinated
by the island's exoticism. I feel the same
way when I try to become foreign from it.
I see these almost sureal views, dreams that
I had while awake. A daydreaming journey to
the island of gods, Bali. These are my dreams. |
