Chasing Intan

Twelve months have passed since we kissed 2009 goodbye.. And welcomed 2010. At the turn of that year, we never know what was coming.. Each and every single day of 2010 tell a different story and left a different memory. Some good and some not too good. The almost 365 days journey bring me to a new place and dare I say, a whole new "me".  The year 2010 have been a wonderful year, yet a learning year for me. As time has been a very tremendous teacher, yet a great punisher. It took me to a lot new places, whether outside and INSIDE of me that I never thought of. I've learned a lot this year. A lot more than the previous year. Let me review best moment of 2010....  Gennaio Just read my  2010 resolution  and couldn't help myself but laugh. It's sooooo friggin funny and even there are several points that came true this year. But too bad I haven't had a chance to take short courses, like make up course, and learn French and Chinese language :( In fact, I was ...

I know I haven't write my Shoebsession post for such a long time. But that doesn't mean I lost my interest in shoes. Shoes would always be the love of my life.  This time, I wanna confess about my obsession to t-bar shoes. And Giuseppe Zanotti is successfully caught my eyes. Saw it first at net-a-porter and was falling in love instantly. With heel approx 5.5 inches, this oh-so-flirtatious  platform sandals made from snakeskin-embossed leather in cream color. Yummy!  I imagine myself wearing it with embellished bodycon minidress and messy hair.. Or just simply pair it with loose top in same color, denim shorts, hobo handbag and you're ready to go! Giuseppe Zanotti T-Bar platform sandals   5.5 inches! snakeskin embossed leather  Anyone interested to buy? Click here!

I'm talking about wedding parties and those patronizing noise sounds "when's your turn?". I sometimes joked, "oh, next February! Just wait for the invitation." and my friend replied, "how come you didn't tell me?". And I was like, "why should I?" Anyway, other than draining my wallet, wedding parties bring a good thing too such as, I can do my own make up now! My sister learned to be a make up artist, so we decided to buy some make up palettes and start to experience by ourselves. I've always loved make up and have a pretty complete collection at home. But a girl always want for more. So last week I bought some new essentials make ups like:   Foundation ~  I have mixed feeling with my MUFE HD Foundation , cos many other make up artist often use the Face n Body rather than HD. But I bought it anyway  Verdicts : soft and silky and blend perfectly in my face. And as promised, look great on photo. It's less shiny than Face n ...

As time goes by, my cute nephew Lionel is now 3 months old!!  He's so chubby!! His mom takes him to my house at least once a week. What do you think? He made this "angry" expression till we laughed so hard. LOL You know what's the funniest part? My brother Kenrick was like jealous, seeing Lionel stole everyone's attention. So my Mom forced Ken to take a photo with Lionel to prove that they love each other. How funny! with Uncle Kenrick! 

We're a few days away to Xmas!! No wonder every malls (especially in Jakarta) glam up themselves with a wonderful Xmas theme.  Last weekend we finally catch a glimpse of Xmas at Pacific Place. We welcomed by a huge transparent snow ball, a little stage (that I later learn used by children whom performed ballet), and many xmas trees scattered all over the mall. There's also a fake snow twice a day (mostly during the performance) Anyway, each and every tree has a different theme such as: Microsoft hardware xmas tree (yes it was made by motherboards. Keyboard, and mouse as its ornaments!) Vivere gift tree (made by photo frames and mainly flowers)  Fiber glass xmas tree Wooden xmas tree Sprite xmas tree. LOL And you know what? I didn't bring a camera with me! That's kinda sucks to snapped some beautiful pictures with only a camera phone :(  But here they are..... Enjoy! Sprite xmas tree. LOL love is in the air <3 white xmas tree In between ph...

prologue  So when you in a middle of 7+ years relationship, there's no other way but up.... or down. Down meaning a very painful break up with zillion memories that will mar your mind forever. Up meaning you take your relationship to the next level.. You might wanna up the ante.  Sooner than later, you'd be picturing yourself ponder about the  future. A house holds the key to the future you've been dreaming of. And then you realize that real estate cost a fortune. Somehow right before you fall asleep at night, you wonder how your friend was so lucky to have a very generous parent whom bought them a house. They don't even have to think about the furniture. Dad spread his magic wand and even more magical mantra (that happened come from his bank account) and voila! They have one way ticket to the future!  You whine, are there any shortcuts to the future? And how you and your loved one must struggle so much through all this time to make it happen. Were you envy them?...

can we just runaway... till there's no one find us? no strings attached no fuss no rush  just you and me .forever.

ciao tutti! quick update! another turbulence week. haven't get a chance to update my blog. too busy.  endless wedding parties . they're coming like, every weekend. literally. saturday and sunday, not forget to mention thursday and friday. literally.  endless working hours . cctv issues. the increase of raw materials prices (craziest in a million years, like my Dad said). payables and receivables. endless credit cards billing . thanks to wedding parties with "special theme". so we have to adjust our costume with the theme. oh no. i'm making excuses again.  endless shopping spree . big hugs to my silent partner in crime.. panic at the disco! that's our motto. you know who you are darling! <3 endless "YEAR END SALE" emails  and eBay makes it even worse. pretend to shut my eyes afterwards.  endless pray and hope. my sister Imelda was once again brought to hospital earlier last week. she WILL be fine. she has to.. :(  that's all. quick recaps f...

"and when I'm lonely, Cherry's there.. She plays along while I sing out my blue.."  Amy Winehouse - Cherry I miss her so much... Watched her Live in Concert again yesterday on my way to work. Madonna might have all the hypes, electronics, and over the top dancers on every concert that she held.. But Amy is just being Amy. A Jewish gal from Camden Town who sings, well.. and drunk. But she blew everyone away. She has the best band and even two best backing vocals (Ade and Zalon) I secretly hoping that she would make a comeback. But it's all up to her whether she want to continue her career or not. Clearly, Amy is an artist. She's a singer who sings from her heart. You can feel her whenever you hear her songs.  Miss you Amy Jade... <3

If I can choose one of the bravest man on earth TV, he must be BEAR GRYLLS.  For those of you who love spending time doing nothing but watch TV, please do watch Bear Grylls' Man VS Wild/Born Survivor . Forget crocodiles, sharks, or insects that make you bleed through your ass. Bear Grylls is the scariest thing on TV. And last night, it was his 25 best episodes. Which were crazy, sick, and eventually became my new version of Man VS Vomiting . LOL. ..man VS wild.. The premise for the programme is quite ridiculous. Basically, every week Grylls is dumped in an extreme location somewhere around the world and armed with ONLY his wits and whatever food he can lay his hands on has to make it back to civilization. Something like, what if you trapped in a desert and run out of water? Bear said you could drink from elephant's poo poo! N he actually DID it. He took one giant dung, squeeze it, and DRINK the fecal liquid that came from the poo. EUWW.  When you lost in the jungle an...

bye bye baby... Valentino Rossi's career at Yamaha finally comes to an end after seven years full of bittersweet memories.. Next year, he will be "back home" to Ducati and maybe will finish his motoGP career there. I can't imagine how motoGP would be without Rossi. It will be the end of an era. first kiss, first winning Last week GP at Valencia was very emotional and heartbreaking especially for Rossi who had to kiss his Yamaha M1 for the last time, just like what he did seven years ago at Welkom (first winning with Yamaha). From what I've read in his autobiography book, Rossi considered his M1 as a woman, a girlfriend whom he loved dearly.. Too bad Yamaha finally chosen Lorenzo instead of Rossi (I read somewhere that Rossi would do anything he can to be with Yamaha till the end of his career, he wouldn't mind being a mechanic or else). Geez! Does Yamaha forget everything that Rossi has done for them? Yamaha was a trash back then! Rossi came and raised...

Another random post...  I'll write anything that cross in my mind. Just got my haircut. Thought you might wanna see it. LOL I was so tired with my long hair. Actually I loved it. But it started to fall out which was freaking me out. I hate brushing my hair and found out my hairs falling out. Although I hardly brush. I tend to keep the hair the way it is. And I don't wash my hair everyday. My friends were like, "Euwww" but I don't really care. Why? Cos when you have a long hair, you will take more time in a bathroom. Putting on the shampoo, conditioner, and hair mask, and when you finish, you have to blow it dry which is wasting time too. So I choose to not wash my hair everyday. I wash it twice a week. :D When I went to Jakarta to delivered the donations last week, I stopped by at GI to lunch and get my hair done. Here it is.. Which one do you guys like best? My long hair was great, but it had to be styled all the time (to look good). Anyway, my new hairdo is 3i...

Ciao tutti! I had so many things to write but unfortunately, the internet connection have been very very bad lately. I switched from indosat to xl but it didn't turn good. In fact, worse than ever. I couldn't even open the blogger website, let alone uploading photos. I was so mad and little bit more it effected my mood. Anyway, the disasters in my country is still become highlights of the week.. Mentawai aftermath.. volcanic ash It's so devastating to watch the news on TV and saw many people (including children and women) covered by volcanic ash, or many victims from tsunami remained unknown. The disasters have claimed many victims and still counting! I know I couldn't just go there and be a volunteer, that's why my friend and I were on board of a charity in order to lend a hand for all the Merapi/Mentawai victims. Shortly, we've been collecting the donations since last week. Been a busy week for me as I have to balance between this charity and my ...
