an angel has gone, a legend is born



It was almost 12AM local time when I checked my twitter timeline and bumped into Giuliana Rancic (from E! News) tweet. She tweeted,




Reports say Amy Winehouse found dead...

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, "maybe it's just a cheap rumor!" I secretly wished it was too. But when I checked my timeline once again, #RIPAmyWinehouse has become a trending topic worldwide. I still couldn't believe my eyes. 
As a huge fan, I saw it coming. The last news I read about her was, "Doctor tells, sobers up or die". 
But when the death actually came, I still in deep saddened. I listen to her every day, inspired by his heartache lyrics and beautifully haunting voice that came from a tortured soul. 

Now she's gone, I hope the world will remember her as an exceptionally extraordinary talented artist than just a mere junkie who couldn't overcome her problems. My thoughts goes to Mitch Winehouse whom so kind to me on twitter (we chatted a bit every once in a while) and the rest of family.. Her brother Alex, her mom Janis, her goddaughter Dionne.. To her sweetest band Zalon, Ade, Heshima and crews. Maybe this is the best for her and I'm sure she's in a better place. She finally finds her peace. 

If I read about Amy, most people who knows "the real her" (before alcohol and drugs took her away) described her as "SWEET" person. Her "Hello darling" and "How you doin you alright?" will be missed. Sweet attitude that never fails to wave her hands to fans sincerely and even took photos. It's so sad cos I never had a chance to meet her or even watch her gigs.. I wish I was in London so at least I can arrange her flowers. But here I am, reminiscing Amy Winehouse as the most talented singer/songwriter in my generation. An angel has gone, but a legend is born. 

Amy Jade Winehouse, you and your music will remain in my heart forever
Rest In Peace Amy darling... I love you

RIP Amy Jade... 14 September 1983 - 23 July 2011

tied the knot

The Groom with all the best-men Happy boy happy couple current mood : *sigh* Finally, after the very long waiting and preparation since LAST YE AR week, my brother tied the knot with girl of his dream. They held a morning ceremony at Cathedral Church and then thrown a party later that night at Grand Eastern. I was having a blast, yet exhausted, and starved and weary and all! Since I didn't catch enough time to eat something, and were busy buzzing around the ballroom, cos my friends were all there and I've some duties to do. Well, now the party's over and it's time to "renew" the life. Cos life will never be the same. Brother, sister, I hope your love will last forever, no more assault, no more violence, just PEACE. Don't ever lean on to someone else, cos since yesterday, two became ONE. Just like the priest said, you both have to received each other the way they are, and blend each personality as one. Married life isn't going to be easy (LIKE I KNOW.L...

anger & depression

Have you ever feel that you're the dumbest, stupidest person on earth? I did some terrible mistakes most of my life, feel like I can do nothing right.. I always wrong. Although I always tell everyone my slogan " absolutely no regrets ". But actually, there are several things that I wish I didn't do. I wish I can study more, I wish I exercise more, I wish I'm not a forgetful girl and can remember every single thing that ever happened in my life, I wish I wish I wish.. Many things I've missed in my whole life. I've messed it up and now I regret it. FFS, please forget those trashy feeling!!! back to reality.......... I've two new best-friends right now.

Frustrating. Sometimes I thought, can I do this alone? But than my...
