Stay, stay the same
'Cause everything else will change
And I've always been to blame
So please just stay the same

How Far Will You Go For Me?

Ngurah Rai - Bali, December 22 2009

My favorites from these little cupcakes :)

more of their talents here
well done Mr. B :)

Kata Ade, luka dalam itu gak ada obatnya.

Obat-obat yang dikasih dokter itu,
cuma buat ngilangin rasa sakit dan mencegah infeksi.

Luka di dalam tubuh itu akan sembuh secara alami,
tergantung dari daya tahan tubuh masing-masing orang.


Sayangnya,
ternyata luka dalam saya itu bukan berada di rahim saya,
tetapi di hati saya.


Sekarang saya mengerti,
kenapa dokter memberi saya waktu istirahat yang panjang

When The Beginning Meets The End

Never thought I would come to this kind of feeling
a feeling that is so hard to comprehend

I'm not sad, nor happy
Just something mixed up in between
Maybe it takes time to understand
I'm fine with that

But this is not a hit and run show
The only way out is to deal with it

one pace at a time

And so I think I deserve another page,
a new chapter of me, in a different kind of version

I'm just trying to sort things out here
Following the rhythm of my life
and make the best out of it

After all, this is not the end of the world :)

So...

Gone Too Soon

Like A Comet
Blazing ‘Cross The Evening Sky
Gone Too Soon

Like A Rainbow
Fading In The Twinkling Of An Eye
Gone Too Soon

Shiny And Sparkly
And Splendidly Bright
Here One Day
Gone One Night

Like The Loss Of Sunlight
On A Cloudy Afternoon
Gone Too Soon

Like A Castle
Built Upon A Sandy Beach
Gone Too Soon

Like A Perfect Flower
That Is Just Beyond Your Reach
Gone Too Soon

Born To Amuse, To Inspire, To Delight
Here One Day
Gone One Night

Like A Sunset
Dying With The Rising Of The Moon
Gone Too Soon


-Babyface & Stevie Wonder-

Hello there :)

You see the little dot that the arrow pointed at?

Yup, that's you, baby :)


I've been waiting for you for quite some time
But this feeling I have from the moment I realize your existence...
is somehow indescribable :)

God wants me to take care of you
So I'll try to do my best, baby

Let's become the dynamic duo
Together we'll conquer the world

Okay?

Now hold on tight, baby
We've got a lot of bumpy road in Jakarta ;)

Are you there, Peter Pan?

Why give up your inner child?
Why become so dull and adult?
Is an adult a guaranteed wise?
Is an adult a guaranteed allies?

Hey Peter, why don't you give me some advise...

Carine Brancowitz:

Yes, Carine Brancowitz is the person who is responsible behind all of these beautiful lines.

And oh, she happens to be the wife of Laurent Brancowitz, the guitarist of French band - Phoenix. If you look closer, you’ll see there's a lot of Laurent in her illustrations.

Oh what a cute couple! They’re like my favorite latte. Coffee and milk mixed perfectly in one hot cup. :)

Meet My Other Half

Long Post No See! :D

Hello!

I haven't got the time (yet the bloody mood) to drop a few lines here. So YES, it's a rewind to the past few months, then.

On November 2009, me and my art director helloicha were selected to be one of the ten finalists of Daun Muda Award of Citra Pariwara; a competition for young creatives in advertising industry. Well we didn't actually won the competition :P, but yeah, it was one hell of a competition. But I must say, I learned a lot from that energy-sucking moment of my life :).

If there's a proverb that says "there's always a first time for everything", well this is definitely my first time doing a presentation in front of not one or two, but MANY legendary ECDs around Asia (I even forgot to count them).

*speechless* ___ *literally*

we're that tiny no.9 :)

Oh and during that moment, I managed some time to do this little project called:
The 'Stress Me Not' Dispenser
Well it's actually a form of Origami. You know, the one with the long and colorful rectangle paper...
You simply fold it over and over until it becomes a pentagon. And then you just poke the sides a bit and voila! You've made a star!
Well that little devil can be very addictive! Once you've decided to make one, you'll crave to make another one... and another one... and another one... until one day you realized that you have a giant pile of stars in front of your face.
Effortless, distracting, entertaining.
Very recommended for stressed and burdened people ;)

On my early December, I went to Singapore with my in laws. There's nothing much to see in Singapore when you have a thin wallet. But I always enjoy the walking. I've finally got the chance to go to Haji Lane, the 'Bandung version' of Singapore. Lots of cool and super cool stuff there, but again, money talks :). Oh and since we came in December, the Orchard was covered in a seriously massive christmas lights. I know it's global warming and all, but my eyes just couldn't resist a highly imaginative sights like that. :P

the charming Haji Lane

2009 outing destination: BALI.
The last time I went to Bali, it was like over than 15 years ago with my family. So yeah, everytime people get back from Bali and share some wild stories, I could only smile and wonder. YES! I'M THAT PATHETIC! Haha!
So I said to myself "One day I will go there! Don't know how, don't know when. But I will!" And thank GOD, I still have the chance to say hello to that island again.
I can't find the perfect words to describe what I felt when I was there. Mind-blowing, breath-taking, heart-breaking, you name it. It's just some journey that I know I won't regret having and won't mind having it repeated.
It was a sentimental journey for me.

photos are from random celsians :)

For now, my life is just as flat as a pair of shoes. Not that I'm not thankful, but that's just the way it is. My resolution for 2010? It's either getting pregnant, or getting thinner :P. I want more friends and more cherished moments. And yadada yadada... it will go on scrolling down the floor if continued. Hehe.

a Week is More than Enough

“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change;

at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not ready.

The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back.

A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.”

~ Paulo Coelho

So They Say

Have you ever been to a situation when your left brain and your right brain doesn't seem to agree on each other, your head is heating up like boiling water? And the more you concentrate, the more you stressed out that you can eat whatever it is your eyes can see?

Well that's exactly how I feel right now.


Oh Well...

Between Me and You...
