"There are dreamers and there are realists in this world. You'd think the dreamers would get the dreamers and the realists would get the realists, but more often than not, the opposite is true.

The dreamers need the realists to keep them from soaring to close to the sun. As for the realists, well without the dreamers, they might never get off the ground."

Currently listening to The Magic Number's "Hurt So Good"
from their album "The Runaway"

Disappear – yeah, well, you wanna try
Wanna bundle up into some big ass lie
Long enough for them to all just quit
Long enough for you to get out of it

I Experienced The Flaming Lips in Concert and It Made Me a Better Human Being

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes
Let them know you realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

One of the best concerts I have ever been to! I met Wayne Coyne twice, before and after the gig. Talked to him and got a signature (BEST MOMENT EVER!). He said something that I still remember and it goes something like this, "I don't know how I got here, we've been in this industry for seven US presidents now, Its amazing. If not here, I would probably still be working in my uncle's restaurant at Oklahoma. One things for sure, no matter what you have become, or will become, always be great full you have people around you that loves you."

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

I love watching movies. I was one of the insatiables.
The ones you'd always find sitting closest to the screen.
Why do we sit so close?
Maybe it was because we wanted to receive the images first.
When they were still new, still fresh.
Before they cleared the hurdles of the rows behind us.

I was flipping through an old issue of Dazed&Confused while taking a dump this afternoon, when I stumbled upon an article about Eleanor Hardwick, the "teen queen of flickr", as the magazine describes her. I was curious as to how prodigal her photographs were, so I googled her. Alas, I found myself dumbfounded, in awe, and captivated by her art, and I was even more speechless when I read her bio in her homepage. The Oxford native was born in 1993!! WTF?! This 16 year old girl is definitely an inspiration.

These are some pictures taken from her "home project"

2009-08-04T11:52:00.000-07:00

“ Time is tricky. You have whole months, even years, when nothing changes a speck, when you don’t go anywhere or do anything or think one new thought. And then you can get hit with a day or an hour, or half a second, when so much happens its almost like you are born all over again into some brand-new person you for damn sure never expected to meet."

.............

I saw that quote a few months ago inside one of the books at Vivo City's Page One bookstore. I instantly fell in love with it, so I snapped a quick shot with my phone cam, and just discovered it today while looking through my phone pics. The stupid thing is I forgot to write who wrote it. I'm sorry for borrowing your quote anonymous author.

Here are some photos. I know you're jealous but, please do not steal them ;p

Oh love don't let me go
Won't you take me where the streetlights glow

Hey, so I bought this Holga k200 panoramic toy camera at a flea market a few weeks ago. I tried it with an expired film. I just got the results today and it was kinda disappointing.. I was hoping for a really panoramic shot, but it came out all blurry and grainy. Maybe I should have used flash even under sunlight. Or maybe it was the expired film. I'm gonna give it a second shot, hoping for better results. =)

those are some of the "better" results.

It was my second time seeing Mr. A-Z live in concert tonight.
I saw him live last year at Singfest'08.
I have to say, he gets better every time!
My favourite part was when he sang "You and I Both" with a hint of "Sleeping to Dream" in the middle,
and of course, when he sang "Mr. Curiosity".

some photos =)

I'm looking for love this time
Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry
Trying not to ask why
Cause love is a mystery

Love is blinding when the timing's never right
Oh who am I to beg for difference
Finding love in just an instant
Well I dont mind, at least I've tried
And I tried, I tried...

2009-02-23T09:45:00.000-08:00

I've watched a lot of good movies this month, but two of my favourite has got to be Slumdog Millionaire and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Memorable lines from Slumdog Millionaire:

Prem Kumar: Its getting hot in here.
Jamal Malik: Are you nervous?
Prem Kumar: [audience laughs] What? Am I nervous ? Its you who's in the hot seat, my friend!
Jamal Malik: Yes, sorry.
Prem Kumar: Final question for twenty million rupees, and he's smiling. I guess you know the answer.
Jamal Malik: Do you believe it, I don't!
Prem Kumar: You don't? So you take the ten million and walk?
Jamal Malik: No. I'll play.

and

Jamal Malik: I knew you'd be watching.
Latika: I thought we would meet only in death.
Jamal Malik: This is our destiny.
Latika: Kiss me.

Nice quotes from Benjamin Button:

"Life can only be understood looking backward. It must be lived forward."

“We were meant to lose people. How else would we know how important they are?”

“You can be as mad as a mad dog at the way things went, you can curse the fates, but when it comes to the end, you have to let go.”

“Along the way you bump into people who make a dent on your life. Some people get struck by lightning. Some are born to sit by a river. Some have an ear for music. Some are artists. Some swim the English Channel. Some know buttons. Some know Shakespeare. Some are mothers. And some people..... dance.”

......................................................

I have nothing else to say,
just watch these movies!

There's one paper due next week, and I haven't even started doing it yet! God give me strength! I'm so looking forward to going back home at the end of this month, even though just for a few days.. I miss JKT.

Anyway, I just ate some mexican food at Holland Village and it was yumm..

the wonderings of a wanderer

I'm wandering through the streets,
wondering where you are...

I shot this photo while I was wandering around Arab street.

Dance With My Father

2009-02-08T05:36:00.000-08:00

It's been two years since you went away

But your love stays with me, everyday

Your love taught me to hold the tears
Your love taught me to be strong

Your love taught me to keep living
Your love taught me to let you go

Because in the end
Only love is the reason
To live and let go

We miss you, Pap.
We pray for you, always.

12.03.1951 - 07.02.2007

If I could get another chance,
Another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again

kaya atau bahagia

2009-02-04T09:30:00.000-08:00

It is 01.29 AM. I'm chatting with my best friend, Vika.

Sahabat saya, Vika Rahma, melontarkan kembali pertanyaan yang pernah dia lontarkan ke saya sekitar 2 tahun yang lalu...

"Lo mendingan kaya tapi gak bahagia,
atau kere tapi bahagia?"

Pertanyaan klasik ya.. antara kaya dan bahagia, bagaikan hidup dan mati, seolah sangat berlawanan..

Dua tahun yang lalu, saya spontan menjawab, "Ya mendingan kaya tapi gak bahagia lah! Kebahagiaan kan bisa aja dibeli!"
itulah saya dahulu. Dangkal, dungu, atau mungkin goblok.

Tapi, sekarang jawaban saya berbeda. Sekarang, tanggal 5 februari, pukul 01.29 pagi, saya menjawab, "Mendingan kere tapi bahagia, Vik. Kebahagiaan itulah yang akan membuat gw kaya, bukan duit."

I know you probably think I'm a fat ass hypocrite for saying that. Yes, I still think money is important, but I'm just saying that if I had to choose, I would rather be rich of happiness than be rich of money. Wow, I must be growing wiser, huh?!?!

So, where is my source of happiness? It seems to be missing lately.

.

This post is dedicated to my best friends, Tono and Vika. There are obstacles in life, but we're strong and we got each other's back!
Badai pasti berlalu kok. We'll get through it.
We're gonna be somebody big someday, I can feel it!
Amiiiiiin. =)

fear

2009-02-02T09:05:00.000-08:00

You’re not afraid of people around you.
You’re just afraid of rejection.

You’re not afraid to love.
You’re just afraid of not being loved back.

And you’re not afraid to try again.
You’re just afraid of getting hurt for the same reason.

Anjiiiing!! Berasa ketabrak Damri gw bacanyaaaaa!

I found that piece of literature while browsing random people's tumblr. It didn't say who wrote it, and that is just a small portion of the poem (is it a poem? I'm not sure as to what it is exactly). It felt like a smack on the face, no wait, more like a kick in the balls, when I read it. SIGH.

Anyway, I was planning to watch Prodigy live tomorrow, but I'm so not in the mood for concerts and crowds right now, so I canceled. Thinking of using the money to buy an adidas vespa instead. No, not the motorcycle, the sneakers =D.

Skins

2009-02-01T10:32:00.000-08:00

I'm currently watching this British comedy-drama series called Skins, about a group of Bristol kids facing the ups and downs of life. I have been a Skins addict since the first season. Now it just started the third season with new cast members. I've only watched up to episode two of season 3, and I'm already liking it as much as the previous seasons! Watching this series is like breathing fresh air, because not like other teenage dramas where backstabbing, popularity, blackberry and fashion seems to be the only important problems on this earth, Skins seems to remain true and real, without missing all the fun of teen angst. Check Skins out, it's so much fun to watch, you won't regret it.

first flight to saturn

2009-02-01T10:04:00.000-08:00

Saturn is my favorite planet because it has a ring,

so it must be pretty good at commitments, right?

sorry for being so random
I'm feeling kinda blue today =(

aside from that, I went to the flea market at Home club yesterday. Bought myself a new toy camera holga k200, and a pair of vans wallaby.

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

2009-01-27T06:19:00.000-08:00

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? =)

You dance too easily through my 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?
