2010

2010 has been a great year for me.
Let's recap.

1. Settled in the branding industry, some of my projects were done and launched to the public.

2. Won a safari trip in Kinabalu from AirAsia.

3. Starting my writing career by contributing to Whiteboard Journal.

4. Two 'hijacks' with interesting offers

But the highlight of 2010 for me is...

Found my other-half.
It's such a blessing for me to have the perfect match like you.
Thank you for the great moments we shared in 2010; picnics, road trips, culinary adventures, birthday surprise (that was the first birthday surprise for me), coffee talks, Beatfest, halloween party.
I believe that we are still going to have greater moments in the next years; in 2011, 2012, 2013, and it goes on.

When I'm With You - Best Coast

2010-11-15T16:47:00.008+07:00

The world is lazy

But you and me
We're just crazy

So when I'm with you, I have fun
Yeah when I'm with you, I have fun

The world is lazy
But you and me
We're just crazy

So when I'm with you, I have fun
Yeah when I'm with you, I have fun

Ever since I was a little girl
My mama always told me
There'd be boys like you

So when I'm with you, I have fun
Yeah when I'm with you, I have fun

I hate sleeping alone
Alone

When I'm With You - Best Coast

It's Just...

I like the way you joke around
That funny smile
That silly laugh
Those crazy eyes

I like the way you smoke
The way you breathe in
The way you breathe out

I like the way you talk
Those sarcasms
Those wittiness

I like everything about you
It's like I'm head over heels for you

Do you feel the same way?
Or maybe it's just me...

Between "wants" and "needs"

Some said you should go for what you want

But I think I'd go for what I need

I'm so not in a good mood today.

À Bout de Souffle

2009-05-01T12:14:00.005+07:00

It's silly, but I love you. I wanted to see you, to see if I'd want to see you.

-Jean-Paul Belmondo on the movie "À Bout de Souffle"-

I Go

2009-04-28T18:13:00.004+07:00

I just found the soundtrack for Yasmin Ahmad's latest film, "Talentime". My favorite track is "I Go" sung by Aizat. It's oh-so-sweet kind of song. The one that you'll play on a rainy day, driving slow on highway. Hmm, so nice!

Here's the lyric:

So long, fare thee well
The dancer and the dancing days have taken leave and fell
So turn down this bed of stone
Quench me with the deadly nightshade from the rose that you belong

The long December rain is falling now
Running down on streets to nowhere
Music is my life, you're my sweetest nightingale
But I can't hear it here no more
And I go
I go

Hush now, don't shake or break
Words have fallen silent like soldiers to the grave
No matter what they do or say
Lay me on the sleepy meadow by the tracks upon your face

I want to go to KL so soon! Wanna catch "Talentime" before it's gone, cause I bet it won't come to our Indonesian theaters! Argh!

PS : Atilia also contributes two songs on the album! Yeay!

Kesempatan Yang Terlewat

2009-04-27T21:26:00.001+07:00

"Akhirnya selesai juga.."
"Lagi apa?"

Ah, gw baru aja melewatkan sebuah kesempatan. Baru aja gw mikir, "kok dia nggak pernah nyapa duluan ya?". Dan sambil mikir gw pun ketiduran di kasur. Kira-kira 10 menitan gw sempet tidur, dan kira-kira dalam 10 menit itu juga dia nyapa gw duluan di YM. Sayangnya, gw terlambat. Gw bangun dan dia udah nggak ada.

"Gw off dulu ya.."

Dan kesempatan itu pun terlewat.

Keseimbangan

2009-04-27T08:14:00.000+07:00

Percaya nggak sama konsep keseimbangan? Semacam Yin yang?

Ada yang bilang, kehidupan itu selalu seimbang. Ada yang baik, ada yang jahat. Ada yang kaya, ada yang miskin. Ada yang bahagia, ada yang sedih. Nah, point terakhir ini yang jadi concern gw.

Temen gw pernah cerita, biasanya kalau ada temennya dia yang baru jadian, nggak lama setelah itu pasti ada temennya yang lain yang bakalan putus. Dan itu ternyata bener-bener kejadian! Ya mungkin emang dasarnya orang Indonesia aja suka percaya sama hal-hal nggak masuk akal kayak gini. Tapi gw pun sampe sekarang bener-bener percaya sama konsep keseimbangan ini.

Nah, temen yang lain lagi pernah ngedumel sendiri. Dia bilang, "kenapa sih nggak bisa semuanya bahagia?". Dia mengkritik konsep keseimbangan itu. Tapi, menurut gw semua itu emang udah didesain sedemikian rupa sama Yang di atas biar nggak monoton. Biar adil aja. Coba bayangin, misalnya semua orang baik. Apa rasanya? Hidup bakal lurus-lurus aja, nggak ada dinamikanya. Sama juga kalau semua orang bahagia. Bakal ngebosenin hidupnya!

Nah, sekarang ini nih, ada temen gw yang baru putus. Dan kondisinya saat ini, gw lagi deket sama seseorang. Mungkin nggak sekarang giliran gw buat bahagia? Who knows. :)

Green Tea Latte

2009-04-26T09:06:00.000+07:00

Gw sering stuck sama sesuatu untuk waktu yang cukup lama. Walaupun "sesuatu" itu udah nggak enak atau ketinggalan jaman, gw bisa masih aja terus-terusan milih "sesuatu" itu.

For instance, di Starbucks. Udah bertahun-tahun gw selalu order green tea latte setiap kali ke sana.
Walaupun udah banyak menu baru, gw tetep milih green tea latte.
Walaupun orang bilang rasanya aneh, gw tetep milih green tea latte.
Walaupun rasanya udah mulai eneg, gw tetep milih green tea latte.

Mungkin ini ada hubungannya sama perasaan. Emotionally attached, mungkin. Kayak yang orang bilang, cinta pertama itu emang paling berkesan. Yes, that's true! Green tea latte ini adalah cinta pertama gw di Starbucks.

Talkin' bout so-called cinta pertama, Hari Jumat kemaren gw sama Irsyad pergi ke Starbucks. (Lagi-lagi) gw mesen green tea latte. Sambil minum, kita ngobrol-ngobrol. Err, ngatain orang sih lebih tepatnya. Hahaha. Somehow, di momen itu, gw sering banget nyinggung about someone from my past. Aneh emang. Udah setahun lebih, kenapa sekarang gw keinget dia lagi? Nah, balik lagi nih ke masalah cinta pertama. Mungkin karena itu lah gw masih keinget-inget. Yang pertama tuh emang paling berkesan. Setuju?

Irsyad akhirnya ngajak gw bikin deal. Move on, jadian sama yang baru, lupain yang dulu itu, dan nggak boleh minum green tea latte lagi! Hmm, susah nih nggak boleh minum green tea latte lagi. Hehehe. Tapi ya apa boleh buat.

Mungkin emang udah waktunya buat sesuatu yang baru.
