never forgotten...



Today mark the first anniversary of Amy's demise. I couldn't put up a nice tribute. I just CAN'T. It's so hard to describe it into words. The pic above is the best I can do really.. But I want to share something that my friend wrote at the forum. He wrote it straight to the point, eloquently.

Legend--a modern story that has taken on the characteristics of a traditional legendary tale.

Hell no. She only put our two albums. The rest of her time was spent doing drugs and alcohol, roaming the streets of Camden. She couldn't even put on a decent concert because of her lifestyle. Elvis was a legend, John Lennon, Bob Marley, Janis. Amy was as legendary as my plumber. I couldn't stand that junkie.


A year after death, should the word legend even be discussed? Who knows? Maybe it's too soon. But the comparisons of Amy with Janis are everywhere. Was Elvis a legend? Of course. Bur over his career, very few of his songs could have matched Amy's genius. Of course there were his movies. {{cough}}


If Leonardo De Vinci had lived life close to the edge(maybe he did)and only painted the Mona Lisa, would he be a legend? Yes.


The insanity that Van Gogh lived made his paintings shine even brighter and it sealed his status of legend.


So, it's the negative with the genius that mix together to form a legend. And you can't say she was the best singer(subjective) in history but if you grouped the best singers together at one place and Amy arrived, they would say "we were wondering when you would get here."


Mega stars saw genius in Amy, we fans knew that early on. She could walk into a photo shoot with twenty rock stars and your eyes were drawn to her. And in her short career, she didn't kowtow to any of them. She earned her respect. She knew she was good.


Besides the great performances, there were the unbearable ones. What's ironic is that many people saw the other part of Amy and saw a life filled with pain and chaos, and sublime beauty. But at most of these shows they knew what they were seeing probably the most honest, raw, and real performance of their life.


Her lifestyle will not be talked about that much as the years roll by. Only here voice, her writing, her legacy. A kid, in 60 years, will be as excited as we are now to score an Amy album.


So, is Amy now or in the future a legend? Yes. I think she defined the very essence of legend.


Would that impress her? Not in the least, Amy couldn't be bothered. Only one of her most adorable traits that added fuel to the fire of the legend, Amy Winehouse.


Tomorrow, millions of fans around the world will honor her memory in their own way. Beneath the tears of focusing on a songbird gone too soon, our hearts, out thoughts, and our feelings will remind us that we were blessed to have her. A legend that will live in our hearts forever.


So Amy thanks. your music changed music, but it was all of you that changed our lives.

I'm shaking as I type this.  After so many years I haven't update my blog, but i feel like now i need it more than ever.  Writing use to be my therapy.  so. my husband died. on 22-11-22 to be exact.  85 days ago  there. i say it.  you won't believe how much courage i've gathered to type this post here. the very blog that witness our journey. from a hopeless teenager, to finally got married, and eventually became parents of two adorable kids. too bad i didn't get a chance to update it more. however i frequently updated my twitter & instagram. so there are traces of our journey there as well.  how do i feel? PAIN. EXCRUCIATING PAIN. A PAIN THAT IMPOSSIBLE TO CURE My heart so tattered that there's nothing more to be torn. He died a sudden death. I won't go into details, at least not now. Our 20 years journey ended abrubtly. there goes our future hopes and dreams. __________________ I begin to questioning the existence of God. We've lead a good life. w...

still..

current mood : still upset Every children biggest dream would always be make their parents proud. Including me. But how? Many whispers came to my ear that said, "Go ahead and find your place at your Dad's Co.", "Why wasting more time with useless job?", "Don't ever try to work in a -desperately-needing-investment Bank!", and blah and blah and blah. Dude I really wanna show my Dad that I can earn myself money. Now my new car is on its way to my garage doesn't mean I'm fully happy. I mean, I feel very grateful with my Dad's present, but I realize that it will burden me. How long until I can earn my own money? Let's rewind to two years ago, when my friends busy to get a part-time job. This "part-time job" means SPG (Sales Promotion Girl), or Bridesmaid (at someone else's wedding), or Wedding Organizer's crew. That's all we can do for our status as a under-graduate student. Nothing else more and nothing else better...

W.W-II

My boyfriend and I have been fighting a lot lately.  What the heck is our problem? What is left to fight about? Don't we fight enough? I thought seven-and-a-half years is more than enough to get to know each other. Seven years ago, what we fought about was jealousy. I hate seen him with his female friends (let alone his ex girlfriend!) I hate to accept the fact that he loved his bike more than me, I mad when he late to picked me up. Seven years later, the problems between us are rapidly growing, to some serious ones.  Here comes the question: WHAT KIND OF MOTHER WOULD YOU BE? ...dead silence... That second I thought, holy shit.  How could he ask this weird, tricky, and unimaginable question? Honestly, I couldn't help it. He trapped me.  I muted for a while. Not because I didn't know the answer, of course I want to be not just good, but a GREAT mother (who doesn't anyway?)  But Dieter isn't the type of man who easily satisfied with a shortcoming answer. He nee...
