Chasing Intan

The Cold Within Six humans trapped by happenstance In dark and bitter cold Each possessed a stick of wood-- Or so the story's told. Their dying fire in need of logs, But the first one held hers back, For, of the faces around the fire, She noticed one was black. The next one looked cross the way Saw one not of his church, And could not bring himself to give The fire his stick of birch. The third one sat in tattered clothes He gave his coat a hitch, Why should his log be put to use To warm the idle rich? The rich man just sat back and thought Of wealth he had in store, And keeping all that he had earned From the lazy, shiftless poor. The black man's face bespoke revenge As the fire passed from his sight, For he saw in his stick of wood A chance to spite the white. And the last man of this forlorn group Did nought except for gain, Giving just to those who gave Was how he played the game, Their sticks held tight in death's stilled ha

taken from  Fred Perry official website houndstooth jumper Finally owned Amy's collection for Fred Perry. I bought it couple months ago with full price (now it's sold out everywhere!) I was so worried by the time it goes on sale, I'd run out of my size. So I quickly add it to cart and checked out. When it arrived (after 3-4 weeks shipping) I opened the package carefully and there it was, such a beautiful jumper. Remind me of Amy.. At least beside her music, I own one of her legacy through her Fred Perry's collection. I really wanted to own some more from the collection, but it's not that affordable anyway. I wanted to have her polo shirt (with her own signature).  Fred Perry just opened its first flagship in Jakarta, I haven't check it out. Can't wait! I hope they have some Amy's collection xx Amy wore jumper dress. Wasn't she lovely..  and healthy  this pink argyle jumper is sold out everywhere! she was too cute and had suc

On Friday the 16th my family and I went on to "Christmas dinner". Even though my parents don't celebrate it, but all their friends do (and as well as their daughters). So we all went to Queen with bunch of friends and manage to wore these Santa hats. LOL.  I hope y'all have a wonderful Christmas. Cos it's not just about pressies and dinners. It's all about our faith and celebration our Savior's birthday :) 

    xox   I'd like to thank you for the overflowing greetings :D Really appreciate it. Most of them were like, finally huh? LOL. It was not a decision that you could play with, so took a longer time. At least I can proudly show my ring if there's someone bugging me about the "marriage:" question. BUT of course you people didn't stop there. I mean there will always be another question, like "so when is your big day?" Grrrr.... Right now, our main concern is finding a small house to live in. We've been house hunting from months ago but as you all know, finding a perfect house is like finding a perfect partner. The difference is, while in a relationship you pay with your heart, with real estate: you pay real money. BIG BUCKS. It's such a pain in the ass. Double spank may I say, cos real estate pricing is way so expensive nowadays. Dieter doesn't get help from anyone, so this will be his first house.. I demand nothing cos it's for us. I am

It's here!! My best friend wedding :) Wasn't the dress fabulous? You know what, it's a surprise! She kept it a secret (only between her and the designer!) Her mom only found out on the day she wedded. LOL. Me too, like I came to her room and ta da! It's va va voom! I was like, how are you feeling darling? The dress was a bit huge, yes. But I'm certain it's worth every penny. It's her dream dress and we only stood in awe..  But most importantly the holy matrimony was very special. I tried to hold back my tears but couldn't. Surprisingly, I shed more tears than the bride herself.. She's such a tough woman!!! I am, undoubtedly a big cry baby. Can't imagine when it's my turn someday. I'll be flood in tears and ruin my make up.  Anyway, I managed to stay awake for 24hrs right from 2AM sharp. It was my morning call, we got ready to the salon where we had our make up & hair done. There were a few Chinese traditions to be follow

No, I'm not going to review that Bruce Willis flick.  I'm writing about RED literally. As color.  Ever since the last century, I've been obsessing about red lipstick. Yet everytime I came to the make up store, I'd try it on my lips and refused to buy. Every time. It's like, I don't have enough courage to wear one. I thought my lip is plump. It's full (you know what I mean) So wearing a red lipstick only will accentuate it. That's why I always opt for either nude or coral shades. Well, pink periodically.  Couple weeks ago, I went to my fave make up dept store, Glow . I intended to buy red lipstick no matter what. Finding a red lipstick is not as easy as usual. Cos it has to match with your skin tone. Red lipstick has to flatter your look without overdo it. And you have to buy a lipstick with fine quality, you don't want a stain of your red lipstick on your teeth do you? After tried on some shades from various brands, finally my choice goes to YSL R

Yesterday my bf sent me this article, which is so sweet and lovely. We both know Adele & Amy came from England. Both are remarkably talented singer. I love Adele since "Chasing Pavement" came out, but my heart belong to Amy Jade. She was legendary. And she set the standard for young British female singers. So they can stand where they are now.

Obviously people have compared you since you're both white British singers with soul, but do you feel any affinity with her beyond that?  I certainly think Amy set the bar and a standard, but for singers a

miss you babygyal.. The release date of my girl Amy Winehouse's Lioness : Hidden Treasure album! For one and other reason, I haven't find it in my country. But I've already listened to the preview on YouTube. Gosh how long this will take till I hold the it in my arms!   Go and buy her album cos you will take part to donate on her foundation 1 £ per one album sale.  I'll be back for review as soon as I receive it. One thing for sure, I'll be holding back my tears. I knew it's gonna be wonderful and emotional experience.. Hear her music for the first time. Flew me back to memories when I heard Frank and Back to Black for the very first time. I swear her songs will stay in my player as well as iPod and blackberry for forever.  I'm really looking forward for Lioness... Anyway, for those of you who already got it, congrats!! You're so lucky!  PS: found it earlier on eBay. It's about how Salaam Remi, Mark Ronson, and Paul o'Duffy worked

lack of updates! Blame it to my newlyfound status that make me so overwhelmed, so over moon, and so head over heels.  *drum roll please* Yup, it's official.... I'm someone's fiancee now.  Actually it happened a while ago, on 20-11-2011 to be exact. He finally popped up the question. Like, my world stopped for a sec and couldn't believe my eyes. He put the rock on it. On my finger. After these years... After what we've been through. This dude never fails to take my breath away and make me proud. He has achieved so many things on his young age. Each milestone brought the best of him. I never thought the guy whom I met nine years ago is soon gonna be my husband. Well, please don't start any rumor cos no wedding date has been set.  After all, we're still so young to start a family :) I'm so gutted that a person who suppose to hug me tight was turned out to be such a let down on one of happiest day of my life :( Again and again, my mother was being off

Finally the season full of bittersweet drama has ended at Valencia, where all the riders paid tribute to the late Marco Simoncelli..  My heart goes to each and every one at motoGP paddock with the rest of Simoncelli family.  I believe that he's now in the highest podium up there with our Big Man.   Per sempre 58, sarete nel nostro cuore.

I decided to change my blog header. It's not that I become so narcissistic.. But despite of all shitty things that happened to me this year, I've finally found my SOLEmates. Yes. The shoes I've been dreaming of these time. Of course ones with the red soles never fail to catch my attention. Here are the beauties: Lady Lynch 120 the sexy red soles nude These shoes are actually impossible to walk, but I love love love them so damn much. Don't you dare being a shoewhore without having a pair of Loubi! (I even named my dog after the shoes) LOL I've made a photoshoot months ago with my friend, he named it "the confessions of the red soles". Yes he dedicated the photoshoot for my Loubi. Wasn't it funny? These are some of my favs: Don't you think there's should be another photoshoot for my nude shoes? Cos when I sent the shoes pic to my friend, he immediately replied, "photoshoot please!" LOL. But havent find

Amy's posthumous album will be released on Dec 5th. It's a bittersweet feeling really.. I didn't expect it will release as soon as Dec. But I'm still head over heels and cannot wait any longer! Although it only contains two new songs, but right now all materials from Amy are legacy of their own. You should listen to the likely first single "Like Smoke" ft. Nas and also "Our Day Will Come" Repeat button is on fire right now. Like Smoke is a cool track. Recorded in 2008, it was unfinished. Sadly. But Salaam Remi turned it to be this beautiful song. Our Day Will Come recorded years ago when Amy was 19. Can you believe it? She didn't even sound like 19 in there. She sounds beyond her years. Take my breath away. Can't wait to hear her other new track Beyond The Cheats! I'm so thrilled right now Amy! :( be happy wherever you r darlin.. p.s The full tracklisting is as follows: “Our Day Will Come   (Reggae Version)”  – reggae

Approaching the end of 2011, I reflected  my life in many ways. How I have to deal with people around me, who turned out, to be not that good. Even ones that so called family. I feel like that my eyes had finally wide open. I learned so much, so much it hurts. The dispute between mother and I costed me hundred liters of tears (and I'm not exaggerating here!) also worse is, costed me a pain in my chest that marred my mind. The bad memory won't go away in a matter of months. I'm still feeling it deep inside me, can't forget every single word that came out of her mouth. Just so you know, I'm trying to hold back my tears right now.  After the dispute, came the deaths. I know some might find this ridiculous, but Amy's death is still not yet over for me. Never in my entire life I've heard someone that sang so beautifully with that emotion. In short, she's brutally honest.I can tell that even when she's in her worst state, her voice was much much better
