tomorrow is today

Tadi sore saya nemenin mba Saras jalan-jalan ke Singapore Art Museum dan Singapore National Museum. Waktu di Art Museum bagian Korean Art, saya lihat quote ini:

"Human beings tend to have a past dependency. We try to keep all our past, even though the day is today. People collect antiques, record journals, and take photographs, all for the sake of preserving them in memory." - by Lee Lee Nam

I made this blog for the sake of preserving my thoughts in memory.

Am I misreading?
Or am I misleading?


The pigeons are lost, even with a sign that big guiding them.

last year's gong xi

Happy Chinese New Year!

This year's CNY was boring. Thank God mba Saras and Sari is in town, so I took them around Singabore. Went to bugis, clarke quay, cafe delmar (with Veby, Rere, Ratri, Aji, Giva and Iman tagging along) and blablabla.

Since this year's gong xi holiday wasn't exciting, I'd rather share last year's action-packed CNY! Me and two of my most absurd best friends, Ayata and Rere, took a super random trip to KL, Malaysia. We bought bus tix just a day before CNY (stupid, right?) so we didn't have much choice but taking the most expensive bus left and the bus departs at 6 in the morning!! We were afraid we'd overslept and missed the bus, so we went to the movies instead. Yup, we saw the 3 AM screening of that jhonny depp musical about the barber (I forgot the title). Then, at 6, we catched the bus. The bus was called Airebus. It was quite luxurious, with our own personal TV, snacks and shit. We saw this stupid Malaysian movie called "I Know What You Did Last Raya" hahahaha! We didn't get much sleep on the bus because we had to alight every few mins for immigration and piss and stuff. By noon, we were in KL, arriving at Mid Valley Mall. Rere's friend Adit was suppose to pick us up, but he didn't show up. So we took the taxi to our hotel at bukit bintang. The hotel was cheap and kinda crappy (what did we expect with 60rm/night hehe), but we didn't really care. We were soooo sleepy after 24hours of not sleeping, we walked around bukit bintang like zombies! Yup, we spent our first night in KL like we were on Night of the Living Dead! hahahaha..The next day, we went to KLCC, which was too crowded for my taste, and met Ayata's friend, Ariel. We took pictures, had some beer, went to the science center. I wanted to see the Aquarium but it was so packed, it ruined my mood. Then, we met my friend, Diandra for dinner and starbucks. Before going back, we ate some durians. I have to say, the second day was much succesfull then the first! hehe.
On our third day, we shopped around star hill, Diandra accompanied us. We had some drinks at Lecka Lecka later that night. Then, Rere's friends Adit, Akang, and Jenny came and hung around the hotel with us, shared some gossips and laughs. Our last day in KL, I seriously forgot where we went! I remember going to this mall with the rollercoaster inside, and this electronic chinatown-like place and ate this really good hainan chicken rice. By 5 pm, we were on the bus back to Singapore.

This KL trip was full of so many stupid and laugh-out-loud moments, I'll remember it forever! hehe.

LET'S DO THIS AGAIN GUYS, THAILAND MAYBE? =)

jkt

Saya kangen jakartadengan segala isi-isinya.

shut

You dance too easily through my dreams

It's impossible to ignore you
It's impossible to shut you out

maybe I should open up a lil bit more...
and maybe you should too.

city of dreams

Wouldn't it be downright friggin awesome if we could run away to New York City and totally live the shit out of life!!! hahaha...

I've been putting some thought into this and I think this could be one hell of a genius Plan B for my life if:
1. I screwed up at life, or
2. Life screwed me over! hehehe

So, who wants to come with me?

Singapore has been very windy lately.

I love this video. It brings back great memories.

and I don't even care
to shake these zipper blues
and we don't know
just where our bones will rest
to dust I guess
forgotten and absorbed
into the earth below

hatred should not be teached
burn in hell those who do

the adventure

A few months ago, I went on a Jakarta adventure with three of my buddies. I call it an adventure because we took Jakarta's public transportation! Not to sound like a total asshole, but you can count how many times I've taken the public transportation here in Jakarta, with one hand! hehehe.

Our route was from Thamrin, to Glodok, to Pasar Baru, to Istiqlal and Cathedral, then to Jalan Veteran.

I found glodok to be very interesting because you can really feel the culture of Jakarta's Chinese community there. We took photos of this cool wet market and a beautiful temple called vihara Dharma Bakti. Pasar Baru hasn't really changed much since the last time I went there. I drank this ice thingy that made my stomach queezy for days, and I got a few plaid shirts for just Rp. 30,000 (US$ 3 haha!). By the time we got to Istiqlal, we were so tired we just sat on the floor and winded down, before indulging on some vintage ice cream at Ragusa.

After this adventure, I have to say that I love Jakarta even more, and that I should have more faith on Jakarta's public transportation! hahaha.

Insomnia bites

I can't sleep.
fvck!
I have an early class tomorrow but I can't sleep.
What if I oversleep and miss class again?
School has been a blur these past two weeks.
My mind (and sometimes even my body, meaning I didn't come to class at all haha!) is always somewhere else these days.

Anyway, I'm listening to this song Why Do You Let Me Stay Here by She and Him, so I searched for the lyrics, and I loved it!
Thought I'd share some with ya..

Why do you let me stay here?
All by myself
Why don't you come and play here?
I'm just sitting on the shelf

Why don't you sit right down and stay awhile?
We like the same things and I like your style
It's not a secret; why do you keep it?
I'm just sitting on the shelf

I got to get your presence
Let's make it known
I think you're just so pleasant
I would like you for my own

Why don't you sit right down and make me smile?
You make me feel like I am just a child
Why do you end it?
Just give me credit
I'm just sitting on the shelf

She and Him are Zooey Deschanel and M.Ward, two famous names that needs no further introductions, I suppose.

Big Night Out with The Ting Tings

Katie White and Jules De Martino was awesome! I was jumping and dancing all night long. Even when they ended, It felt like I didn't want to leave the venue, still begging them to do it all over again!

Thanks to Ivonne for the pictures. I didn't bring my camera. I wanted to jump around. =)

X

Isn't it annoying when your ex still keeps a photo (not to mention, a fuckin bad one) of you and her on her friendster.. God, I hope she doesn't read this.

when there's nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire

setengah lima

Tau lagunya Sore yang "Setengah Lima"? Lagu itu yang terlintas di benak gw waktu liat foto ini.

Suara bisikan hanyut

Dalam pengikis bunga layu

Sampai aku akhirnya merasakan

Mati suri di taman

This photo was taken at Taman Langsat, Jakarta. I had a photography outing with my high school buddies there last month.

Between daydreams and morality

While my lecturer was yapping away about Stilwel and Chenneault, and the means and ends of their morality, I was busy daydreaming about you.

This photo of Bryant Park was taken on August 2006, during my family vacation to New York City. I had the biggest grin that day. =)

The Whitest Boy Alive


It was a great night.

Chances

When one window shuts, there will always be another chance that another one opens.

The sky is not my limit

I wanna go to infinity and beyond with you

Yours Truly

The camera can photograph sights

The camera can photograph thoughts

These are my sights and my thoughts

Enjoy,

Yours Truly.

Sebenarnya bikin blog adalah salah satu dari resolusi tahun baru gw, selain untuk kurus. Berhubung yang kedua agak gak mungkin, jadi gw mencoba untuk merealisasikan resolusi yang pertama aja. Tahun baru, Blog baru. Selamat menikmati. =)
