quote of the day

i was at the local hang out today.
and the bartender noticed something different about me.
when asked to describe what it was..
he answered: "you looked.. 'berantakan beautiful' gitu loh.."
ada" saja! :D

and this marks the return of this blog...
about anything and everything personal and whatnot.
and in any & every language I feel like writing in.

i just love words that don't belong together!

Estranged

When you're talkin to yourself
And nobody's home
You can't fool yourself
You came in this world alone
(Alone)

So nobody ever told you baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to you baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see
One, two

Old at heart but I'm only 28 (katanya siy~)
And I'm much too young
To let love break my heart
Young at heart but it's getting much too late
To find ourselves so far apart

I don't know how you're s'posed
To find me lately
An what more could you ask from me
How could you say that I never needed you
When you took everything
Said you took everything from me

Young at heart an it gets so hard to wait
When no one I know can seem to help me now
Old at heart but I musn't hesitate
If I'm to find my own way out

Still talkin' to myself and nobody's home
(Alone)

So nobody ever told us baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to us baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see

When I find out all the reasons
Maybe I'll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life
Maybe I'll get it right next time
An now that you've been broken down
Got your head out of the clouds
You're back down on the ground
And you don't talk so loud
An you don't walk so proud
Any more, and what for

Well I jumped into the river too many times
to make it home
I'm out here on my own, an drifting all alone
If it doesn't show give it time
To read between the lines
'Cause I see the storm getting closer
And the waves they get so high
Seems everything We've ever known's here
Why must it drift away and die

I'll never find anyone to replace you
Guess I'll have to make it thru, this time
Oh this time
Without you

I knew the storm was getting closer
And all my friends said I was high
But everything we've ever known's here
I never wanted it to die

Gn'R

c'est novembre!

Yoohoo~

It's November!
It's time to start writing again.
And most likely will start drawing, possibly painting, and anything in between~

See you soon! ;)

déclaration d'indépendance

i'm borrowing this from my brother as he greets the Republic:

Selamat hari merdeka negeriku...
semoga rakyatmu masih ingat akan arti kemerdekaan dan perjuangan untuk mendapatkanmu...

translation:
happy independence day to my beloved country...
may your people still remember the meaning of independence and the fight to accrue one...

mal à la tête

I hadn't been to a movie in Indonesia for years and years now.
By this time -- a year after I came home, my brother took me out to see WALL-E.

We went on 7pm showing, so I got some snacks at the stand before it started.
While I was standing in line, I overheard the lady in front of me asked to have her order delivered to her seat when the movie commencing. She had 3 kids with her.
Perhaps a little lost in translation, I thought "wow! what a service!"

We sat through commercials, previews, & the short movie (it's a PIXAR's!) for the next 10 minutes.
As the main picture rolled in, 2-3 busboys came buzzing around delivering orders.
One of them passed right in front of us.
I would be a little more understanding if they had kids with them.
But the one sat next to us were a young couple -- even younger than me!
Geeez! That was a sheer of laziness! -- May you become obese!

Perhaps, they could improve this "amazing" service by delivering the food 5 minutes before the movie. Otherwise, it'd just be annoyance to other attendants.

And I heard my mother's voice on the back of my head: please be considerate to others...
How about you?

bienvenue

to the little girl that was born at dawn:

welcome to the world, dear!
we'd been waiting for you.
may you grow up to be a healthy, witty, active, & dedicated to your parents & your country.

love always~

une vacance parfaite

I arrived quite late for the Easter feast chez Richard.
The plan was to join them for lunch, but I couldn't make it since my parents' friends came to visit on the hour I supposed to take the train.
Anyway, the trip was great.
Golden afternoon sun reflected on Hudson... marvelous~

I got there at 4:30pm and basically gulped down everything in sight while everybody was out to the river..
Afterwards, I sat out on the porch with a book to taste the fresh air with just enough sun... mmm.. parfait!

Soon enough the group came back from the river.
Gave everyone a hug and wish them a happy easter.
In no time, it was dinner time.
A friend of mine came to join.

It was a wonderful day.
Good food, good companies.


thanx for coming!
sorry that you had to sit through a monkey story~
