Indonesia Cuma Kalah Tipis

Indonesia Cuma Kalah Tipis dalam pertandingan Ujicoba dengan LA Galaxy dengan David Beckhamnya yang digelar di Stadion Gelora Bung Karno semalam berakhir dengan skor 1-0 untuk kemenangan LA Galaxy, Gol tersebut tercipta pada menit ke 14 melalui tendangan Robie Keane mantan penyeran Intermilan.

Indonesia Cuma Kalah Tipis

LA Galaxy yang menurunkan pemain Bintang diantaranya David Beckham, Landon Donovan, Robie Keane, dll diprediksi akan menang mudah, tapi tempaknya prediksi itu tidak terbukti karena LA Galaxy ternyata kesulitan menembus gawang Indonesia.

Meski terjadi beberapa peluang emas dan tendangan yang membentur mistar, tapi kedudukan tetap berakhir 1-0 untuk LA Galaxy. Para pemain Indonesia tampil ciamik seolah tak mau kalah dengan bintang dunia, bahkan Beckhan secara terus terang memuji penampilan Andik Vermansyah. bahkan untuk menghentikan aksi Andik, Beckham terpaksa harus melakukan tackling keras.

Seusai pertandingan Beckham hanya mau bertukar kaos dengan Andik, dia pun menghampiri Andik untuk mengajak bertukar kaos alau sedang diwawancarai sebuah setasiun Televisi.

Andai permainan timnas eperti semalam, pasti garuda akan berjaya minimal dikawasan Asia Tenggara.

Surround yourself with beautiful pieces

Morning and happy 'lilla lördag' (little saturday) as it's known in Sweden as everyone should go out and have a mid-week drink. Not for me unfortunately, so instead I am mentally transporting myself to one of three apartment suites in the Azzedeine Alaia hotel in Paris....

The rooms, designed by Yatzer, have carefully selected the furniture and lighting and kept everything else minimal so that you can enjoy its beauty and your stay. Oh and I would Yatzer, I would. It also supposedly leaves room for the guests own creativity. What do you think? Something for the weekend? Or to stark for your tastes? Read more about it here.  

Wonderful Copenhagen

I am in beautiful Copenhagen this afternoon looking for a cool home for a press shoot. I love the Danish capital, it's so relaxed with a lovely bohemian feel. I might just stay all afternoon....

A Swedish apartment in monochrome

A little morning monochrome to share with you today! This Stockholm nugget of an apartment (I say 'nugget' as it's 45 metres square!) is light, white and completely clutter-free. There is no way I could have so few things around me, no matter how hard I tried, but it does look rather lovely....

PS I especially love the calendar, which you could make at home perhaps, using computer print outs stuck to the wall with oh-so-now masking tape. Or any other tips? 
Kram!

Beckham Ke Indonesia

David Beckham, Pesepakbola kondang asal Inggris, akan datang ke Indonesia untuk bermain bola, tapi kedatangan David Beckham tidak untuk membela sebuah klub melainkan akan melawan Indonesia dalam laga persahabatan yang akan digelar tanggal 30 November mendatang.

Beckham Ke Indonesia

Beckham hadir tidak sendirian, dia membawa teman di klubnya LA Galaxy, Landon Donovan, Robie Keane dan yang lainnya. Beckham datang ke Indonesia sekitar tanggal 28 November dengan menggunakan pesawat pribadinya, selama di Indonesia Beckham akan dikawal ketat termasuk saat memberikan coacing clinik dihadapan anak usia 7-15 tahun.

Beckham Cs akan melawan Indonesia Selection yang merupakan gabungan antara timnas senior dengan timnas usia 23. Kedatangan Beckham adalah kali pertama di kawasan Asia Pasifik, setelah melawan Indonesia selection, Beckhan akan bertanding di Filippina dan Australia.

Kedatangan Beckham ke Indonesia tidak lepas dari peran Dino Patti Djalal, dubes Indonesia untuk Amerika Serikat ini melakukan lobi dengan pemilik klub LA Galaxy, Tomas Payne.

Happy Friday! And Oj oj oj, look at this beautiful Stockholm apartment.
