I'm a scientist majoring in chemical-physic and analytical-chemistry. My research works include the thermodynamic properties of gas hydrates, the behaviour of water in confinement, solid-phase extraction, and flow analysis automation. In my free time, I enjoy game programming, web design, photography, and classical guitar.
This is a personal website that I made to share my works and hobbies. Its origin can be traced back in 1999 when I wrote my first VB game programming website in Geocities. Now the website has grown wider with more sections. I hope you can enjoy strolling around this website, as much as I enjoyed writing and sharing its contents.

In DSLR, I trust "Camera is an expensive hobby," said my father to me. I remember it was in 1996, and a film-roll was worth of ten meals in Indonesia. Of course that excludes the additional cost to develop the film.
