Yes.. it's been a while. I am glad that you're still visiting me here. I am also glad that things are on progress. The album promo is ongoing. The media exposures are going strong. Realistically speaking, knowing that this is a self-produced album, things are going well. Don't compare my promo with any promo that comes from big investors. This project is a self-investment project. Therefore, a lot of things has to be done one step at a time. Truthfully, the expense of the promo is a never ending expense. And I have to be really smart in managing my finances to pay for the whole thing. Frankly speaking, with the progress of my media exposures and with all the projects which I am going to be involved in, I can say that things are doing fine.

Being a producer is a big leap for me in this debut album. And I feel comfortable in this position, because I am being appreciated and respected by my capacity. Not by my looks. Along with the ongoing promo to medias, I also have a bigger aim. Again, with this album, I am aiming to liberate people's mind. That we are entitled to live as kings. We are powerful of our wishful thinking. We deserve to have our dreams come true. We can and we will make things come true, only, and only to those who take risk and consequences to work smart in terms of making their dream come true. I am aiming to make people see, to care about what's going on around us. Whether it's an environmental issue, health, education nor mentality. I now realize that I have a bigger mission. My album is not about selling CDs. It is about delivering ideas to make a breakthrough. To innovate, to go along with changes in life. To take challenges and take opportunity. Sometimes in life, opportunity does not come twice.

I have grown a lot since I became a producer in my album. And everyday, every working plan that we are doing, me and my team grow stronger and wiser, more knowledgeable. We now have a new sense of purpose. 

My album has copied the 2nd batch of 1000 cd in early March. It means that from the response from the public, it has been well accepted and appreciated. I am aiming for bigger things in life. And indeed, my album is my liberty. Lately, people appreciate me based on my visions, based on my views, based on my work. Not only because of physical aspect. I mean, of course I thank God for the positive things I have in that perspective, but I am more comfortable when people treat me based on my knowledge, and based on my brain capacity.

I also realize, that this album is about a belief. And I have just realized that I've been aiming to make this country a better place to live. I realize I grow much wiser along with the promo in this album. I will support any education and health projects held by any institution. And I actually am supporting a national health campaign organized by Yayasan Jantung Indonesia, as part of a global heart-disease awareness campaign for women. It's called "Go Red for Women", the campaign has been done internationally for years and it encourages women to look after their heart. I will support any environmental campaign to heal our nature from our greed of exploiting natural resources, and also support any campaign such as the Go Green campaign that's done by the US State Department, National Geographic and some other parties. On this, I was invited by the US Embassy to come to a cocktail event at the US ambassador to Indonesia Cameron Hume's residence at Taman Suropati, Menteng. It was an honour, and not a coincidence for me because I do support any environmental campaign.. and it is even better if it also develops better diplomatic relations with other countries.

I also support to gain more public consciousness to save electricity and also the use of water and for not using plastic bags which I start in my own management amongst my staff, my family and friends (see..you don't need a big plan...small acts would do)... and that I care so much about education here, because what I see is that we are lacking strong healthy mentality that makes Indonesian slaves amongst our own people. If there is anything that I can contribute for education, I'll go for it. I will support any good deed to make our world a better place to live.

So now you see, my album is my ticket to liberate. This new sense of purpose goes along with my liberating mission.

That is how far I grow with this promo album. This album is about a belief, to liberate ourselves. And to be liberated, we have to earn it. One way of earning it is by caring about what's going on around us.

Let's support each other to make our place a better place to live.
