Day One

Yay! Today is our first fasting day on 2009!

This year's fasting month is a little bit different with the previous years, because now I do it with my husband! *big grin*. Well not much is changing actually, because we still live in our parents' house. So there's no cooking for sahur whatsoever... Just having a weird fact that now he's joining sahur with the rest of the family.

Well I wish you all a great fasting month, my dear friends.



May God bless us all.

Nice to Meet You Boys :)

me and my Boy :)

I used to have a bunny named 'Boy' when I was a little kid. I loved him so much that I remember carrying him everywhere in the house. But unfortunately one day, we forgot to put him inside when it was raining hard. So the next thing I know, he was sick and suddenly disappeared. My family never really told me what happened to him. Some said he was just missing nowhere, some said he was taken and eaten by our house guards (way to go to win a kid's heart -_-') and so on. Maybe he was just dead that day. So I always have this unfinished business with bunnies. They have officially stolen my heart.

So by the way,
I went to my sister's house last week and look what I found? Bunnies! My sister decided to buy not one but three bunnies for his son. Two is Australian and one is Angora. Uuuurgkhkh!!! They're just 2 months old and they are super duper stupiddd! Stupidddd... Stupiddd... Furrballssss!!!

PHOENIX LIVE IN JAKARTA!

This news is not only cheering us: the fans, but also giving people the fact that Phoenix is still going to Jakarta, even after the bombing in J.W. Marriot and Ritz Carlton a few weeks ago. OH YES! THEY ARE NOT AFRAID! :D

The concert took place at bengkel night park, which was immediately loaded by teenagers here and there. My favorite local band NAIF was opening the stage stunningly, continued by the performance of the S.I.G.I.T and RNRM. They were all spectacular, though I think the S.I.G.I.T was dominating the stage waaay to long and RNRM’s sound check was a total waste of time. I stand a bit to the right-front of the stage with one tall boy blocking my view. But hey, we’re here to have fun! It’s more productive to struggle for a perfect spot than to grumble in a cheering crowd. Hehe… Just a theory. :)

Phoenix finally showed up at 10-ish pm and breaking the stage with Lisztomania. Everybody’s cheering, singing and dancing. I can’t complain because I’m one of them :). There are many complains coming from my own friends, telling how they were bothered with the audience who were dancing and singing out loud hysterically. Okay, maybe they’re a bit too hysterical. But I don’t see any reasons to complain at them. I mean, c’mon! This is a concert, for God sake, this is the moment you can actually see your idols on stage, performing their stuffs… just for YOU! This is the place where you can sing out loud and dance through the music you like. If you’re expecting a well mannered and stand-like-a-stone crowd, maybe you should just listen to MP3 at home. Don’t get me wrong, I spend money for this night and I don’t want it to be ruined by some nonsense skeptical person. I just want to enjoy what I think I can enjoy there.

Anyways, all songs from Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix were played except Fences... But they played my all time favorites like: If I Ever Feel Better, Funky Squaredance, Rally, Too Young and Run, Run, Run. And they’re also playing Playground Love by AIR, which was sung beautifully by Thomas Mars. 1901 was played at the very end of the show with a spectacular climax. Everybody’s cheering; I even felt the ground quaking.

All in all, Phoenix performance in Jakarta was beyond great! They’re a group of humble people who went down the stage in the middle of the show to greet their fans. And Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is one of the greatest albums I’ve ever heard. I’m not really a music maniac, but yet I can easily enjoy their music and sing along quite fluently all through the album.

Salute phoenix!

'til we meet again ;)
