winter delights

Trying to find what's missing and fit the puzzle one step a time.
gotten what expected. experiencing the unexpected.

The winter season, a cup of regular chai tea latte a day is perfection.
a smile a day is a blessing.
chatters away with closest companions are a warm comfort.



after a very long hauling day..
I'm still trying to be grateful here, damn it.

knowing it's not just any other afternoon...

when i woke up yesterday, I thought it would be like any other Saturday. Boy, I was wrong.
that Saturday, I accidentally walked pass a Hollywood film set on my way for lunch! and I'm not in LA!
yes yes yes, i am that psyched. call it what you want, It's something that pretty cool to see. I saw a few of local filming, but of course, the hollywood tag makes everything totally different to experience. hahaha

The street is transformed into something more American-y, somehow. When you've been around melbourne for quite a while, you'd notice the city is always clean! at least, decent enough to live. Whilst yesterday, kaboom! trash is everywhere on the street and there was this smoke machine thingy to make up the 'american' look. well you know, since we don't have the underground steam pipe anywhere around the city.

It was pretty exciting.
A lot of people were taking photos, of course I took a couple too! Not very good ones though, since I took 'em while waiting the tram and can't be bothered to stand up to take some clear shots. The 2nd pic is the cameos waiting for the director to shout 'action'. It's in the middle of winter and I'm thinking.. the movie isn't? Girls are wearing sleeveless and shorts! Well, all the things you would do to get famous, huh? =D

Unfortunately, didn't get to see nic cage. Although! i didn't know that it was nic cage's film set! LOLs. even if I knew at the time, i wouldn't wanna wait long just to get a shot of nic cage either.

people live in LA prolly had enough of this kinda thing huh. It's like you're in Jakarta and saw our so-called celebs walk around the malls and we couldn't care less of who they are. HAHAHA

when 'knowing' (thats the movie) comes out and I see the scene of where these two pics took place, I might scream the bloody murder and shout 'I WAS THERE I WAS THERE!!'
So. Who's going to the movie with me?? ;)


ps: some good shots of the set on the local papers http://www.theage.com.au/photogallery/2008/06/22/1214009181700.html

Indonesian Idol - my version

is being ambitious can get you to the top?

or was it planning and dedication?


if your heart is already set on one thing. and up the ladder you go.
baby steps.

but you will get there. no matter how high the ladder is.
half-way down would be a waste. why not further up the next half. that'll get you to the top... the one you want.


if only i can crack open that skull of yours and dig inside your brain just to find out what makes you, you.

people wants.
and i want to sit on where you are now.

people don't always get what they want.
and you are not the person to speak out those words.


It's the pessimists.

spandau ballet

So true
Funny how it seems
Always in time, but never in line for dreams
Head over heels,when toe to toe
This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound
I bought a ticket to the world
But now Ive come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line
When I want the truth to be said
I know this much is true
With a thrill in my head an a pill on my tongue

Dissolve the nerves that have just begun

Listening to marvin all night long
This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound
Always slipping from my hands
Sands a time of ts own
Take your seaside arms and write the next line
Oh I want the truth to be known

It's way past jadul. outfit? hello?!
but Manhattan's story can even orb that dude's 80s look (which should be 60s!) to a fabulous 21st century. I blame it on the ugly.

and I mean, ugly betty.

my heart goes ba bump bump bump for Gio!!
all the gugugagaass!! yeah. it's all junior high again.


oh. if you can't handle this kooky looking guy and the outfit, and the music. Will.I.Am and Fergie did the remake for 50 first dates. Betcha love it.

between a rock and a hard place

when you're in that situation
some hopes up will be a relief.

or rather let some words ripped your heart out?

and left you clueless on words like: "pride, trunk-loads of titles, and prestige".

what would you rather choose,

pride, looks, and prestige
or
trunk-loads of experiences, skills, industry exposure, and good money. (but!!! let every bit of your big pride go)



After much considerations, I chose the latter.
I'm prepared to crawl from below the dirt to reach the sky.

Are you with me on this?

percaya gak sih lo?!

Gara2 orkes sakit hatinya Slank... gue jadi dengerin PSP di itunes gue! Believe it or not, yes I do have a collection of its album. Thanks to my dear mijungskii!!! '__'

dengan suksesnya terngakak2 di sore hari abis pulang kerja.
dan sekarang gue ngidam film2 jadul.
Benyamin, catatan si boy, warkop DKI, ali topan, dkk.

Di jakarta belinya dimana ya? Bajakan ato asli, don't care.

si adek bakal pulang jakarta in few weeks time.
Pastinya titipan gue bakalan setumpuk komedi muat untuk sekoper!

aaaaaaaahh aku butuh komedi! ____________ *Serrrr*



hehehhee

Mari Menikah!

bukan maksud menyinggung2 events yang sudah, sedang, dan akan terjadi.
menikah, maksudnya.

tapi karena kebetulan judulnya yang sangat berbahasa inggris padahal ini film indonesia. makanya mending saya terjemahkan aja ke dalam bahasa aslinya, bahasa indonesia. Yang komersilnya berjudul Get Married! menjadi Mari Menikah!

Jadi lebih enak di dengarnya kah? :)
Mungkin ironisnya disitu...

Dari judul yang kebarat-baratan ninggalin persepsi pertama tentang ke metropolisan sekelompokan anak-anak jakarta. ah tipikal.

Tunggu dulu.
Judul boleh barat layaknya Ashton Kutcher menikahi Brittany Murphy di hadapan bapak penghulu pastur. Tapi konsep cerita? yah, di persingkat, yang paling bule di film ini cuma si mbak2 pencuci rambut (why she has to be bule?) dan si mas2 bule-indo nan kaya dan ganteng pujaan hati nirina zubir. They are the bules you would see in the movie, at most. Selebihnya? Mari Menikah sangat Jakarta sekali!

dengan celetukan2 Hanung Bramantyo (eh penulis skrip siapa sih?) yang menunjukan ke'sederhanaan' akan kota Jakarta. Di balik segala gemerlap gelimang metropolitan yang kita liat di Arisan, Sinetron Punjabi, dan Jatuh cinta sama Eiffel... kita diajak masuk ke pelosok2 kota Jakarta yang seasli2nya... seIndonesia-Indonesianya.

Mungkin saat itu waktunya tepat untuk menayangkan film ini... dan judul yang sangat tepat.
dengan semua gedung, catering, salon fully booked dalam setaun untuk event 'kekeluargaan' bertopengkan 'resepsi pernikahan' itu. Yang seluruh Jakarta direpotkan dengan pengaturan jadwal untuk undangan si anu dan si inu. Sabtu Minggu, jadwal penuh. Bukan.. bukan. Bukan ngemol, nonton, makan, ato apalah kegiatan anak muda sekarang. Boro-boro ke gereja? iya gak? Yang ada mereka ngendon ke gedung satu dan yang lainnya. Paling pol si eneng pake kebaya seksi, si abang pake batik necis. Maju deh nemuin dua mempelai yang udah nerusin ke garda depan.

Hal yang sama diceritakan oleh Hanung Bramantyo ini. Although, entah sih maunya dia apa saat kedapetan skrip film ini. Tapi menurut saya sih, waktunya pas banget disaat semua anak gadis dan den bagus udah di umur yang 'mateng' dan langsung disuruh (ato mau?) berbondong2 ngadain 'acara keluarga' besar2an itu untuk memproklamirkan kemantapan mereka. Mungkin si pembuat skrip dapet ide setelah jadwal weekendnya penuh dengan undangan ke gedung ini itu kali ya??? Yang pastinya, timingnya pas.

Pemilihan pemain2nya juga handal. Si Aming bertampang konyol tidak dibuat2 itu udah bikin ngakak terjungkir2. Ringgo yang berusaha melucu dengan tampang cupunya itu seperti anak 10 taun yang lagi imut2nya. Desta... well, sorry to say, dia yang paling normal diantara dua manusia2 ajaib di trio kwek kwek ini. Nirina.. surprisingly, sangat sederhana. She's the girl next door, without the glam make-up. Love her! but love aming dan ringgo at most!!!

Ada satu adegan yang bikin gue agak2 merasa hipokrit. Disatu sisi, untuk 5 menit (kira2) adegan itu cukup membuat gue megap2 ambil nafas buat ngelanjutin ketawa. Tapi di sisi lain, gue merasa seperti Bart Simpson yang menertawakan kebrutalan Itchy and Scratchy di layar kaca dia. Tau dong adegan mana yang gue maksudkan? Ya ya ya. adegan tawuran! Coba kalo kita liat tawuran yang dikemas salah satu stasiun tv nasional kita dalam acaranya 'sergap dan siletkan!!' (ini misalkan!), pasti penonton yang 'beredukasi dan berwawasan tinggi' akan bertingkah sok righteous dan mengumpat2 dengan bahasa kamus setaraf merriam-webster. Lah, ini. Kemasan Hanung Bramantyo malah membuat kita ketawa ngakak ngikik cuma karena ada Aming dan Ringgo nyelip di dalamnya. Ternyata udah saatnya tawuran bisa dianggap lucu untuk khalayak banyak. Ato seperti yang gue pernah denger dari seorang komedian, you have to find the funny in everything. and BAM! there you go. you get "Get Married!" The movie.


Get Married! ato menurut versi saya: Mari Menikah! adalah film patut di tonton disaat kalian perlu di tendang2 dengan banyolan2 konyol tapi nggak membodohkan iman. hehehe

Kalo begini jadinya, gue sangat kangen Jakarta!!!!!!!!!!!!!

blue balloon

if ever to set the mood right, the blue-eyed Croatian is here for comfort. On a Friday evening, when the sun quietly excuse itself for the day and night took over to entertain the life show. It brought stars and sprinkles of rain to glam the rest of the Friday.

Miss chiquita turn-in early on this very evening. A blanket over the shoulder, a turtleneck covering half her face. Maksim's blue balloon was on loud speaker.... "a melody for tonight's chills" she said.

The mood is right, the companion is not. Alas, it's not the desire for tonight. The dream of peterpan's and never wendy's. Flee from the pile of duties and feel alive again.

Although love and blood hold us forever
The adolescent and adult minds introduced drama into a merry year.

This lady is in a mambo and twist...
the dance of life.

in a crowded house,
where wood, bricks and chaos collide.
'til no more space to walk..

who would then care?

be mine

Sejak pertama kali berjumpa
Ku merasakan yang berbeda
Ada getaran yang kurasakan
Namun ku tak bisa jelaskan

Mungkin aku terbuai olehmu
Kau buat hatiku jadi merana
Serasa terbang menuju angkasa
Ku ingin jatuh dipelukan

Baby I want you to be mine I want you to be the boy of mine Baby I want you to be boy of my life I want you to be mine I want you to be the boy of mine Baby I want you to be boy of my life
