Chasing Intan

I literally cried when I knew that Carole King's So Far Away was played at Amy's funeral, right after her dad Mitch gave a touching eulogy. He said, Amy always loved this song and asked everybody to sing along, which they did. Good night angel, I will always remember your beautiful soul forever..   So far away Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore It would be so fine to see your face at my door Doesn't help to know you're just time away Long ago I reached for you and there you stood   Holding you again could only do me good Oh, how I wish I could   But you're so far away One more song about moving along the highway Can't say much of anything that's new If I could only work this life out my way   I'd rather spend it being close to you But you're so far away Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore It would be so fine to see your face at my door Doesn't help to know you're so far away Traveling around sure...

This is by far the most touching and thoughtful tribute I've ever read since Amy's tragic death. It written perfectly by Amy's close friend Russel Brand. Please read it till the last word...  FOR AMY When you love someone who suffers from the disease of addiction you await the phone call. There will be a phone call. The sincere hope is that the call will be from the addict themselves, telling you they’ve had enough, that they’re ready to stop, ready to try something new. Of course though, you fear the other call, the sad nocturnal chime from a friend or relative telling you it’s too late, she’s gone. Frustratingly it’s not a call you can ever make it must be received. It is impossible to intervene. I’ve known Amy Winehouse for years. When I first met her around Camden she was just some twit in a pink satin jacket shuffling round bars with mutual friends, most of whom were in cool Indie bands or peripheral Camden figures Withnail-ing their way through life on impotent c...

To say we are deeply saddened today is an understatement. And what is hurting us even more is the response her untimely death is eliciting from a lot of people. What we want more than anything is for people to know the Amy Winehouse that we knew. She was clearly troubled, but there was not an ounce of evil in her body. She was not a bad person. She just surrounded herself with bad people. Amy Winehouse was one of the sweetest people we have ever met, and it is such a tragedy that the world has lost such an incredible talent. We remember all the times we spent with Amy and the thing she wanted more than anything else in this life was not fame and fortune but somebody to love her. That's a deep desire we had in common and would talk about a lot. She dreamt of cooking for her man and starting a family. She'd share her favorite recipes and dream of simpler life. Oh, and she loved music. A lot! One time, we went with her to a record store, she asked an employee where...

http://m.holymoly.com/music/blog/amy-winehouse-1983-201158264 Amy Winehouse 1983 - 2011 There’s an awful lot of talk about “real music” these days. A bogus and myopic attempt to distance the transparently marketed commercial pop acts from those we hope will be this generation’s artists of legacy; those we can point to in our old age and say, “You hear that son, that’s the music of my day. Proper pop stars, with songs sung from the heart with voices that could make the hardest of bastards cry like babies.” It’s mostly nostalgia and nonsense. But whatever real means, Amy Winehouse was it. The most talented, charismatic and brilliant singer, songwriter and performer I’ve ever witnessed. And I’m devastated that she’s gone. The first time I ever heard of Amy Winehouse was when, in the summer of 2003, I was given her album Frank to review for a music magazine called Bang. I read the press release and was filled with a familiar dread. I think it mentioned nu-soul a...

It was almost 12AM local time when I checked my twitter timeline and bumped into Giuliana Rancic (from E! News) tweet. She tweeted, GiulianaRancic Reports say Amy Winehouse found dead... 12 hours ago Favorite Retweet Reply I was in car, sitting next to my boyfriend. We're still on our way home from Jakarta. Tears Dry On Their Own played in car stereo.. Shocked, I immediately screaming and broke the silence between us. Dieter asked, "hey what happen?" I wanted to deliver the news to him, but I muted. My voice restrained in my throat. I looked at my boyfriend and he's getting confused. A minute later I said to him that Amy was found dead.  We're both in dead silence. I knew he loves Amy as much as I do cos we listen to her songs every single days.  He was like, "may...

... will be the day I remember forever. The day when I finally spoke up my mind and thrown up my childhood burdens. The day when SHE yelled at me with rude words The day when SHE nearly slapped me in the face The day when SHE cursed me The day when HE proved himself that he's not more than a pussy The day when HE didn't being righteous The day when HE blinded by fake love The day when THEY hurt me so much, and so deep The day when... I left home Now everything won't be the same no more Only time will tell

I've been looking for a perfect black bag. But I cheated on shoes everytime I intended to save my money for a handbag. Anyhow, let's forget about the black bag for a while cos I just found the most mouthwatering (NOT literally ) black shoes I've ever seen!  markesling 120 Ain't it feel good when you stand about five inches taller than others? Markesling is the perfect laser cut sling back bootie for all seasons! Paired it with skinny jeans or your favorite skirt or even curve hugging dresses and you're ready for the season ahead.  I'm not an accessories kinda girl.. I don't have stack bangles or chandelier earrings or super huge rings. My shoes is my only accessories. I hope I can bring her back home someday...  PS: as you all know, it's a Louboutin

Today I'm going to share about my friendship with one girl whom I love dearly.  We first met on the first day of high school. She sat next to me, we chatted a bit, later I found out that her house was so close from mine. Only couple houses away. It's funny cos the next day, Dad told me that he was her Dad's bestie when they're young. We're totally inseparable. From high school to college, even though we didn't go to same college. We're still hang out or have a coffee every now and then to tell each other's story and problem.  Maybe I'm not the best friend she ever had, but I tried to :) I told almost all my problems to her and I think she did the same way too, Years passed by and we've been many things together. We even had couple holidays, get wasted and do some crazy things. Haha missed those moments so much!  Until one day, my blackberry beep. She text me something like, "will you be my bridesmaid?"  ---- Oh how I couldn't...

Since my sister learned to be a Make Up Artist (MUA), I became more obsessed with this beauty world. When I set my feet on Sephora, it felt like heaven on earth. But of course it's much different with On Pedder.  At On Pedder, I think I've died and gone to shoes heaven. All of my dream shoes were there! From Louboutin's Daffodil to Givenchy's wedges to Valentino's bow pumps. Ahhh.... I wish I could take them all home... :( BTW.. This is not a post about shoes yet I still can't get rid my mind off of it! -.- So... Months ago one of my friend was buzzing around the "Naked Palette" by Urban Decay. I've read in several beauty blogs written the palette must be one's holy grail cos it contained neutral colors that can be worn everyday and well, night. Problem was, UD is not available in Indonesia so I didn't buy it even though I was tempted.  When I visit Sephora weeks ago in Singapore, I found that Naked palette was really beautiful. I trie...

Along the winding road of life, sometimes we encounter two streets that equally look the same until we hardly make a decision which path should we go. As a human being, God given us body, mind, and soul. Brain (mind) and heart (soul) to help us choose our path. Should we listen to our heart, or does our brain take a bigger part in our decision making? Cos as I live and breath, I still don't know how to use both. I'm a melancholic kinda girl, so I often ask my heart to help me out finding solution in almost all my problems. Sometimes it ended good and sometimes it such a pained in the ass. But the later mostly to be the end of my issues. I'm tired of relying my heart to be a decision maker.   The complication that I'm currently facing is not an easy one. For this time, dear brain, would you please cooperate and help me decide? Due all respect to my heart, please step back as I permanently fired you to take part in my decision making.  ... But most of all, I surrend...
