All best and delicious food you can find in any Singapore hawker centres. The picture was taken from Stomp website as they invite people to vote.

My favourite is Bak Kut Teh.
If you are a working parent, then everyday you want to monitor your children activities in your house. How to monitor your loved ones? Sure you’ll call them. But if you leave them with a nanny then you might need a spy webcam just to make sure that your nanny does her work.
Telkomsel offers a new solution for this by launching Telkomsel Babycam. It’s a small 3G mobile device with built-in camera, packed like a MotorGP helmet miniatur, using GSM 3G network and Video Call feature (in which is actually not a new technology in Indonesia), all you need is to use your 3G mobile phone to video call that device, then your mobile phone will be live streaming what happens in your house, same like CCTV camera. Video Call rate will be charged same as voice call, so it is about Rp 13/second, CMIIW.

The newcomer pay-tv, Aora TV, just claims exclusive deal with ESPN StarSport to become Official TV Station for English Premier League 2008/2009 season for Indonesia region.
If you are subscribing to Astro TV, then your option is to throw away your satellite dish and subscription, and have to switch to Aora TV station to watch world most competitive football matches: English Premier League or Sepakbola Liga Inggris as we call.
Subscription fee is Rp. 785.000 for 5 month subscription. It is expensive comparing to First Media or Indovision if you check their channel list. Aora TV has only 7 International Channels as per my writing!

Actually you can search games schedule using google and it will bring the result on the first entry. Try to enter “olympic badminton schedule” in Google search box, and this is the result:
But sadly not all games will be aired (and live) in Indonesia’s TVRI as the official channel. As Indonesians put high hope in badminton games, so don’t miss your chance to watch it. I don’t know which games will be live in TVRI, but this is the schedule I compiled from TVRI Badminton schedule programme and Olympic official site (translated: Jadwal Pertandingan Bulutangkis Olimpiade Beijing di TVRI) :
Although it has been a while available at certain gas stations in Jakarta, BioPremium hasn’t found its place in drivers’ mind. The main cause is It has been difficult to find.

Hey, see these cutes figures in Google Doodle image today. They are Beijing 2008 Olympic Mascott.
Finally, TVRI – Indonesian state-owned and oldest TV channel, stood up and took responsible of airing Beijing 2008 Summer Olympic Games. So it can claim as “Indonesia Official TV Beijing 2008 Olympic” or “Stasiun TV resmi Olimpiade Beijing 2008″, and it is always be a FREE channel.
When all other public TV stations couldn’t find commercial advantage in bidding and airing olympic games since they might be thinking about rating would be low and hard to get sponsors, this is the time for TVRI to show off as a subsidized TV station and serve for Indonesian people.
I think sponsors and advertising spots would be very few, but this is called government-subsidized and TV as social mission, isn’t it? When was the last time you watch TVRI channel? it might be a looong time ago. So this is the time for it to be back into public attention.
TVRI plans to air 132 hours worth of games, from morning, afternoon, and recap on night (I think around 9.30 after ‘Dunia Dalam Berita’). Some of them will be live broadcasted such as Boxing and Badminton games.
To see complete list of games to be aired by TVRI, you can download it from here –> Jadwal Siaran Olimpiade Beijing TVRI (PDF from tvri.co.id).
Tonight Olympic Opening Ceremony, will be held on 08-08-2008, time is 08:08 PM, will be broadcasted live by TVRI starting from 07.30PM. Don’t miss it!
Note: If you have satellite dish, you can turn into Chine state-owned channels: CCTV-1 and CCTV-2 for 24-hour olympic coverage, another one is CCTV-Olympic in which dedicated channel for it but I don’t know its frequency.
Last week I went to Bandung and stayed in Beverly Hills Townhouse at Dago area. I didn’t know exactly rent rate for this house, it might be around IDR 2 million and something per house per night.
