Champion League, unforgettable moment

2011-12-10T03:12:00.005+07:00

Yooo, what's up readers? Here i am, still in Lille, France, in the middle of freezing month. Currently , i am waiting for the snow now. Please do not simply blame me, i never see snow before. So, i am in the middle of dilemma now, between my curiosity in seeing snow and my ability to face the freezing temperature. Well, while waiting for the snow, i want to share something extremely cool that i experience in October.

So, in my university, SKEMA Business School, it has a lot of student clubs which provide the students many interesting activities, from the cooking club till the sport club thingy. I do not join in any of that clubs but if there was an event thrown by a club i mostly attend that event. One day, when i was opening my facebook, i saw the sport club posted in the exchange student group. They invited us, the exchange students, to join them to watch the Champion League live. The match was between Inter Milan and Lille Football Club which held in Lille. Wow, how would i resist that kind of opportunity? So, yeah, i just simply signed myself in.

The next thing i know that in the next day, i paid the ticket (which cost 50 Euro, that the cheapest one though) and wait for a week to see the match. Finally, that day came. I would not forget the date. 18 October 2010. We gathered first in the uni at 7 pm. There were like 20 of us, and there were only 3 girls including me. Since the stadium was quite far, we had to take the metro (subway). In our way to the stadium, there were a lot of football supporters inside the metro, started to sing the club anthem. I was so excited. Yeaaah, i was in the game mood at that time. The, after passed 6 metro stops, we got of at Pont de Bois metro station and walked for about 10 minutes, and here i was, in Stadium Lille Metropole, surrounded by thousand of Lille supporters. Aaaaargh, i couldn't stop smiling at that time.

After wait for about 15 minutes, we finally entered the stadium and waiting impatiently for the match begun. I got a seat behind the gate. Surprisingly, i sat next to my Indonesian buddy which i met during my flight from Jakarta to Paris. Wow, what a coincidence. We chatted, took tens of pictures and tadaaaaaaa, the two teams entered the stadium. Woooow, i never watch a football match live from the stadium and at that moment, i felt such that kind of feeling. It was beyond enthusiastic. Unexplainable :D

Well, i could not remember a lot about the game. But unfortunately, the host team, LOSC, lost 1-0 to the guest team. That was a bit sad. Since i watched the match with my local friends, i knew how frustrated they were during the match. There were some good opportunities wasted by the host team.

The match ended at 10.45pm, the Lille supporters were a bit dissatisfied, but at least their team only lost 1-0. Briefly, i was really happy that day. One of my dream to see Champion League live was finally come true. It was such a priceless experience that i will never regret. So, do you have any wonderful unforgettable moment? Go share with me!!!

Me, My Shoes, and Walking Culture

2011-11-01T01:38:00.002+07:00

heey my dear readers, what you've been up to this far? here i am, still here in Lille, France. I will return to Indonesia next year. My return ticket there supposed to be in January, but i am thinking to extend my stay here. Well, in this occasion, i would like to share about the walking culture that i experience here, in Lille.

Since the first day i arrived here, i still can not fit with the walking culture possessed by the people here. They do love walking. In Indonesia, we are not a big fan of walking, we prefer to take the motorcycle or car to walk. Being raised in that circumstances make me face inevitable situation in Lille. The first day after i got off from the train, i had to walk a lot. I walked like two hour non-stop in total. Well maybe for you guys it wasn't a big deal, but for me, i never walk that much before. Soon after i reached my apartment, i took off my shoes and sunk in my bed.

My flatmates are from Colombia and Finland. Apparently, they both like walking as well. My first trip with them was quite embarrassing for me. I was almost always left behind. They walked too fast for me, and to make it more juicy, my feet were bruised and blistered everywhere. During the first month, i had a very deep relationship with the plaster in my feet.

As the time goes by, my situation were getting better. Although i haven't able to walk in the same speed like the native, at least my feet start to adapt my walking habit that i tried to build here, bud sadly, this rule did not apply with my shoes. Only two weeks after my arrival, i had to replace my old shoes. Yeaaah, they were broken, hahahha.. The new shoes that i bought hopefully will be able to survive longer than the old one.

Now, i found myself more tough in term of walking. With the flat shoes, i am capable to walk down the street, beach, park or anywhere for hours with less complain. But i feel that my only flat shoes are getting uncomfortable. Geeez, i truly need to invest on comfy shoes, otherwise the plaster invasion will be repeated :D

Enfiiin....

Dear readers, how are you? I am in France now. I can't tell you precisely how exited i am here. I've been dreaming to come here since i was in senior high school. The wait was seemed like forever, but it's worth the wait. Ok, let me share you about what i'm gonna do here in France.

Three months ago, I assigned for student exchange program in my hometown university, actually there were several choices about the exchange destination, such as Austria, Germany, Netherlands, Scotland. Japan, Singapore and Malaysia. I did not have hard time to choose which university cuz as i told you previously that France already haunted me for years :D

enfiiin....

After being occupied with all the administrative requirements and visa matter, i finally left Indonesia at September 4, 2011. Hmmm, it was stated that the flight would be about 15 hours, including two hours transit in Changi airport, Singapore, but unfortunately, there were some problems with the aircraft which made me stay longer in Changi. I made my touchdown in Charles de Gaulle airport at 11am and after i took a TGV to Lille.

Here, i don't live in Paris, but in Lille, located in the northern part of France. I remembered the first day i arrived here. I was so shocked with the weather. Oh please don't simply blame me. Will you expect the sunshine, rain and wind in a day? Yeaah, that was happened to me, hahahha. Well now i already learn that no matter how sunny outside, you never go wrong by prepare a scarf or umbrella in your bag before leaving your apartment.

Nathalia, Alejandra and me ^^

Talking about apartment, i share a flat with two girls. They were from Colombia and Finland. They were so nice and sweet. I do love them and my flat. Until now, i just can not believe my luck in getting this flat. It's located in the center of the city, i only need to walk (Gosh, please remind me that i have to tell you about the walking culture in Europe) for 10 minutes to get to my university, and the best part is that i got a very good price. You have to see the looks of my friends when they know about my flat :)

The rooms and the kitchen

Well, there are still a lot of things that i wanna share, literally. No worries, i'll be back in a jiffy :D Have a good day for you all...

Lots of love..

"I finally found the answer and realized that all my suspicion was proven true. Now you remain nothing but coward to me. I made you shine, but you were just too blind"

That was the first cross my mind when I realized all my suspicions. The lies on the small stuffs and the radical changing attitudes. I made you shine, my dear. I transformed your appearance, I upgraded your dignity, I led you to the social oblivion. But I guess you were just too blind to see.

I had no doubt that you just used me as the experience and wait until the right time for simply ditch me. And you did, my dear.

Too bad you did not notice that the D as the beginning of my name is stand from Detective. You won't get away from this my dear. You won't. Sigh, I guess I have to learn the hard way..

Haloooooo, postingan kali ini ini gw mau nge-post pake bahasa. Bukannya kenapa-kenapa, tapi gw cuma ngga mau esensi lucu dari postingan gw ntar jadi berkurang *halah, ngaku aj blm jago bercerita in english.

Well, jadi gini niy, awal gw masuk s2 dulu, gw udah didoktrin dengan anggepan bahwa s2 itu lebih nyantai dari s1. Yang masuknya jarang lah, yang tugasnya sedikit lah, en de bla en de blaaaa. Nah, dasar gw orangnya ngga bisa diem, gw males aj dunkz klo misal kuliah sminggu 2 kali doank trus abis itu gw ngga ad kerjaan alamat gw bakalan mati bosen dilalerin ntar tuh. Sooo, jadilah gw cari-cari kerjaan yang ngga bakalan nyita banyak waktu gw dan bisa nambahin duit jajan. Gw pngen jadi part-timer teacher bahasa inggris, setelah gw jereng tuh koran, akhirnya gw nemuin tuh Realia English, tempat les yang pas bgt buat menuhin kriteria gw, jadwalnya fleksibel, atmosfirnya cozy pisan euy dan staff pengajarnya ramaaaaah bgt.

Ngajar dsana gw slalu kebagian kelas besar yang terdiri dari 6 orang. Nah salah satu kelas yg gw ajar adalah kelas 6 penyamun dari Teknik Perminyakan UPN. Oh yeaaaah, kelas penyamun aka cowok smuaaaa. Sempet bingung sbelum mau nerima niy kelas cuz takut ngga nyambung aj approach gw sama mereka. Hellooo, gw anak Manajemen dan mereka anak Teknik Minyak, errrrr, bagaikan air dengan minyak dah. Tapiii, keraguan gw berubah total. Mreka ngga seperti yang gw bayangkan. Hey, tenang aj, mreka tetep berwujud manusia normal laaah, tapi astagaaa, mereka kocak abis. Setiap kali masuk kelas ada aj guyonan yang sukses ngebikin gw ngakak dan terhibur dikit lah dari tugas-tugas kampus yang ternyata banyak bgt.

Jatah ngajar ini kelas cuma 14 kali pertemuan. Sbenernya dari satu bulan yang lalu, harusnya mereka udh masuk ke pertemuan terakhir alias pertemuan ke 14, tapiiiiii, ada aj alesan dan halangan yang ngebuat kelas terakhir gw bersama para jejaka itu ngga pernah kejadian. Kelas terakhir yang tak kunjung berakhir. *___*
Alesan-alesan klasik anak teknik pun mulai gw hapal dan diem-diem gw bikin list-nya loh *niat*

1. Praktikum
2. Kumpul laporan
3. Kelas malam
4. Ujian
5. Liburan
6. Kangen pacar x__x

Nah, alesan nomor satu itu lah yang paling sering mereka pake buat excuse. Minggu kemaren gw sempet rada bete sama mereka. Mereka bilang mau kelas terakhir jam 6 sore di hari Jumat (gw inget banget cuz pas niy hari ad royal wedding si Will-Kate di tipi, yang gw lewatiiiin - curcol). Dan karena gw pas itu lagi hectic bgt ngurusin seminar di kampus, gw minta mereka buat on time pas ujian dan mereka ngiyain pas gw bbm dan sms. Ya udah dunkz, gw tinggalin aj tuh gladi resik acara seminar gw jam 5 sore, saking buru-burunya gw sampai ngga sempet pamitan sama pacar yang jg ikutan ngurusin seminar. Ya udah, menjelang jam 6 sore gw udh duduk manis di Realia, kelas udah gw siapin, lampu sm kipas angin udh gw nyalain, tinggal nungguin murid-murid istimewa gw nongol aj tuh. Tapiiiii, menit demi menit berlalu *anjis bahasa gw* dan deru motor dan mobil mereka pun masi aj belum kedengeran. Gw liat jam, eh udah setengah 7 aj. Di Realia, klo murid ngga dateng lebih dari 30 menit tanpa pemberitahuan, guru boleh ninggalin muridnya loh. Tapi emang dasarnya gw masi berharap, gw tungguin lah mereka rada lamaan lagi. Jam 6 lewat 40, gw habis sabar, gw bbm mereka ngga dibales, ya udah dey gw balik ke kampus buat ngurusin seminar gw lagi. Selang 10 menit kemudian, hape sm BB gw mulai ribut, ternyata Realia sama murid gw pada ngontakin gw. Yaaa, gw udh kadung di jalan, mau balik males ah. Lagian gw kn ngga salah, gw udh ngikutin SOP 30 menit batas waktu telat. Biar mreka kapok juga ngebatal-batalin kelas mulu *pikir gw waktu itu, berapi-api banget yaaak.

Selasa kmaren ini, akhirnya kelas terakhir mereka jadi juga. Dimulai jam 7 malem. Dan mulai jam sgitu juga gw ngga berhenti ketawa. Jadi karena mereka ambil kelas conversation, maka ujian akhir mereka berupa presentasi gt dey, tipa orang dapet jatah 10-15 menit buat presentasi ditambah sesi tanya jawab.

Nah, murid gw yg pertama, Apry, doi presentasi ttg DRILLING HOLE *____* kbayang ngga siy gmana cengo nya muka gw waktu dngerin materi presentasi yang bener-bener ngga gw kuasai, kosakatanya pun ngga ad di gudang perbendaharaan gw. Makjaaaang. Apalagi pas doi mulai ngegambar bor di kertas. Kyaaaa, apa pula ituuuu *garuk2 tembok.

Presentasi yang kedua dari Daru, nah si Daru ini presentasi tentang AC Milan, darah Milanisti yang menggelegak membuat dia ngga bisa ninggalin Milan barang sejenak, sampai-sampai doi pake buat bahan presentasinya. Oke lah, gw lumayan muden, tapi pas sesi tanya jawab gw mulai kacau pas si Apry dan Siena mulai nanyain tentang sejarah AC Milan, hahahahaha..

Presenter yang ketiga itu namanya Ansi, bocah satu ini presentasi ttg The Role of Money, alias ttg duit-duit gitu dey, gmana sejarah uang, apa kegunaan uang, dan lalalala lainnya. Untung aj pas ngederin tuh presentasi mata ngga berubah jadi ijo.

Abis Ansi, terbitlah Ari. Doi presentasi ttg I-Phone aj dunkz. Serius. Instead of using paper and pictures, dia cukup ngeluarin hengponnya dan mulai utak-atik tuh hengpon di depan kita. Sempet tertarik juga siy sama I-Phone, abisnya aplikasinya jauuh lebih banyak dibanding BB. Tapi yaaa, gw lebih milih BB cuz klo I-Phone itu kan kudu touch-screen dan dasar jari gw jempol smua, stiap nyoba hape touch screen buat ngetik sms pasti salah-salah mulu. Errrr, si Ari sempet nunjukkin permainan seru, enemy apaan gt, jadi dia moto orang kn ya, trus tuh orang mukanya bisa dimacem2in, bisa didandanin kyk bandit gt dan kita serang-serang, tapi lewat hape doank siy. Ehehehehe. Seru jg yak, apalagi klo pas lagi bete, baik sm temen atopun sm pacar *malah curcol.

well, malam semakin larut, dan si Apry dan Ari mulai mnguap dengan gegap gempita, si Daru mulai sibuk ngliatin hapenya di bawah meja. Ngeliat gelagat bakalan dikacangin, gw akhirnya nyuruh Siena buat presentasi, secara tinggal dia doank yang belon presentasi. Nah, setelah terpekur beberapa saat, doi dengan bangganya bilang "tonight i will present about THE HISTORY OF UNGU BAND" ________________ *ceritanya hening lama. Kebisuan kita-kita pun dipecahkan dengan Siena yang dengan hapal presentasi mngenai Ungu Band favorit dia. Gw ngga habis pikir gmana Siena bs hapal album2 punya Ungu Band, dpake di soundtrack pelem apa aja, pokoknya hal-hal yang ngga gw duga sebelumnya dah.

Tibalah saat tanya jawab. Si Siena langsung dibombardir banyak pertanyaan dari temen-temennya, dari pertanyaan Apry yang bikin gw ngakak "Siapakah nama ayah dari vokalis Ungu?, Kalau kmu perempuan kmu mau nikah ngga sama Pasha?" sampai ke permintaan murid-murid gw dan ngga ktinggalan gw jg siy :D yang minta Siena buat nyanyi lagu Ungu buat menunjukkan legalitas dia sbagai fans berat Ungu, daaaaaaan si Siena MAU, dia bahkan milih sndiri lagunya. Soal gaya jangan ditanya, mirip bgt dah kyk Pasha yang asli. Lagu yang dinyanyikan pun ngga cuma satu, tapi dua skaligus. Kita yang liat doi nyanyi udh ngikik-ngikik geli gt dey. Gw bahkan hampir hilang kndali dan ketawa ngakak, tapi ya untungnya gw masi bisa nutupin pake tisu gt dey. Ehehehehe. Tapi bener loh itu lucu bgt, bgt, bgt.

Intinyaaaaa, gw seneng bgt Selasa kmaren. Ternyata mereka emang layak ditunggu. Murid-murid gw emang luar biasa, mereka berbakat menjadi penghibur dan pelawak. Kuliah mereka diTeknik Perminyakan telah membuat mereka menjadi sangat kocak luar biasa ;D
Luv you all, guuuuys..........................

the end of trimester 1

2011-04-22T09:00:00.004+07:00

Yaaaay, by reading my title i believe you've noticed that i'm done with all my exams. Yaaaay. Finally those exhausting exams and paper are over. As i mentioned previously in my last post, i take the international program which requires me to conduct everything in english. Even when i write paper. Sigh. But you know, it's so true that the first time always be the hardest. I still remember how confuse i was in writing my Operational Management final paper, which contained 20 pages least. Hahahahaha. But well, hell yeah, it's already passed, i just get down on my knees and starting to pray for the good score.

I will have a week holiday, but hmmm, i simply can not say that it'll be pure holiday. There are lot of things to do. I have been postponed them during my hectic schedule. Eeeew. Several stuff already lining down on my mind, such as:

Go to immigration office to apply the passport
Complete all the visa documents needed
Run the hybrid seminar conducted by my university
Back to my routines as a part-timer teacher (i took a week off due to my exams, lol)
Spend quality time with my loved one (hey, i deserve it after all the grueling exam time, dont i?)

Since my first trimester was officially end, it means that i have to say goodbye to 8 international students from Europe that already became part of our friends for the previous four months. It was funny seeing their effort to attend the morning class at 7am. Some of them were fell asleep of course, but i was touching enough by seeing them not skip the class. Hehehehehe..

My favorite subject for this trimester was Business Ethics. It was such an insight for me that we have to conduct our business ethically. Well, it might be costly in the beginning but it can create a long term profit for our business *_____* ups, sorry, i better stop now before you choose to quit reading my post :D

I would like to thank my friends, yeaaaaay, we did it. The first trimester finally over. Happy holiday guys, i'll see you again in the next two weeks. And happy Good Friday!!

Finally, A Long Post :D

2011-03-05T17:49:00.004+07:00

Hey all, what's you've been up to?

I've been extremely busy recently, but this 2011 so far is excellent for me. I got many priceless gifts that i never thought before. So, in order to payback my hibernate time, i'll explain you in details. It can't be any better, can it? Lol...

It was start with my graduate program. I felt confuse in choosing within the international class or the bilingual class. Mostly my friends chose the bilingual class. Well, actually the difference among those two classes remain only in the way the lesson deliver and the students. In the int'l class, everything is in english, like the books, the presentation, and even the thesis. Nah, the last reason was my biggest consideration in choosing int'l class. But in int'l class you can have int'l friends will allow you to experience the int'l ambiance in the class. And guess, finally i decided to choose the int'l class. My decision was made in the last minute, literally. But so far i do enjoy my choice. My lecturers and my friends are wonderful. I have new friends from Europe, mostly from Netherland and France. I will attach their pics later, no worries :D

Last February, Marlyne, a good friend of mine visited me from Singapore. I was so happy to see her again. We've been friends since senior high school, but now she works in Singapore, so it's kinda difficult to meet her. No wonder when the oppurtunity finally came, it felt like a reunion, because i didn't meet only with Marlyne, but also with Santi and Puspita. We went to Sangam House, a unique Indian restaurant, and discussed many things. We did have a good time there.

Santi, Puspita and Me

Marlyne

Several weeks after, i remembered that i had a voucher given by Marlyne. It was a voucher to shop in Body & Soul. Well, two days before the due date, i went to Body & Soul store and started hunting. Time went by, but still i couldn't find any good outfit *sigh... I was thinking to come back later when finally i saw it, an elegant black dress. I was so thrilled and even couldn't believe it with my very own eyes. So i grabbed it to the fitting room and voila, i bet you know the feel when you see your reflection in the mirror wearing a perfect dress :) I took several pictures in the fitting room, so you perhaps can see the price tag was still there, hehehehehe... Anyway, i also bought hotpants, but i didn't take the picture, i guess the dress pictures already enough :D

Black is my color

Last but not least, in September i will do an exchange program to France. Enfin!! I will be there for 4 months. I chose to do the exchange to SKEMA Business School in Lille. Not only because of the well reputation of SKEMA itself, but also due to my french friends suggestion. Lol. It will be a very priceless experience. I've been dreaming to go to France since i was in the undergraduate. I didn't know why, but France always has some kind of magical spell to me.

je vais aller la, au France. Yaaaaay

Hmmmm, i feel really grateful with all these gifts. Sometimes, good thing will come to you with its special way. I've witnessed it myself. So, i'll see you again later, although i don't know when, since i have tons of works to do. Wish me luck then, and happy weekend all

Just a Lil Sneak Peek of Me

shoes, my perfect guilty pleasure

Can you guess who the birthday boy is?

We might came from different background, but hey, we get along very well. Luv you all

Hi thereeee, how are you? I just finished struggling for my final exam. Have i told you that i take the Master now? I don't know, but i just wanna study something new. Well, my undergraduate background was Politics. I took International Relation, but now i take Management as my Graduate major. At first, i only had a little faith for my choice, and the faith was getting tinnier when i met my classmates. They're totally brainy. Fortunately my lack of confidence happened only in the first week. I kept saying to myself that if i didn't make any move i would be left behind.

Seven subjects, three months and one brain only

How about simpler formula??

I had to join the Matriculation first. Matriculation means you're registered as an official student. It's the process of beginning study at a university, and fulfilling any prerequisites. Sooooo, night after night i forced myself to read all those thick economics book in order to make me at least familiar with economics vocabs. FYI, i had no economics background which just make things harder. And i had to learn how to use the calculator. It was quite funny for me because i just notice several very useful function of calculator. I didn't even imagine it before. Geeeez... Well, briefly, during the first month of my matriculation i found that i couldn't get enough sleep everyday. All i wanted just crawl into the bed and sleep like a baby.

Finally the matriculation is over. And i was surprised that my result wasn't bad as i predicted before. Yeah, now i believe that we have to try our best first, no matter what the result will be. And here i am, gladly to inform you that now i'm officially a graduate student. LOL. Well, my long journey is still waiting. And i've put some pictures about all my dearest mates in this battle field. They're so adorable and helpful. Enjoy and have a nice holiday :)

MBA students batch 56, Yaaaay....

Nail Art, My Guilty Pleasure

2010-11-06T20:49:00.037+07:00

Dear readers, my daily routines in office and college, school assignments and homeworks have diverted my mind a lot.. All of them are undoubtly such a time consuming activities in some particular stage. No wonder it quite necessary for me to hunt for nail saloon just to have my nails painted.

Why nail art? Well, it's kinda difficult to explain why i do love nail art. I just love watching a talented person paint and polish my nails. Especially after i see the result, wow, i will easily speechless just to see the transformation of my nails. Yeah, it may sounds so cheesy but that's the truth. How about the compliments i gain after? Nah, that's just another side effect of nail art which i adore ;)

In the last two months, i found a very good nail saloon in my hometown which satisfy my wildest fantasy of nail art designs instead. I took some pictures of the result just for you peeps.

Actually there's still many designs which i do wanna apply. But, i'm taking my master now, so i guess i better choose the safe designs. No worries, if there's any special occasion coming, i would be gladly to try those wonderful designs.

I started to treat my nails since 4 years ago. At that time, i was really like frech manicure nail designs. Well, i still fall for this style actually. We have to admit that french manicure is the most timeless style that you can apply anytime without having fingernails faux pas. For those who really into this style, no need to worries because now there are many variations of the French Manicure itself.

French Manicure, classy and elegant

see the variations of French Manicure

My adventure of nail art world began about one year ago. Yes, i'm still a newbie here. I notice that nail art has to be in fashion. If you like challenge yourself and do trials for new trends, this will be a very joyful chance for you. You will be able to play with color, discover new unique pattern and even put on some 3D effect onto our nails. Wow. We can say that nail art is the ultimate fashion when it comes to manicure.

The main obstacles of nail art are the shape and length of your fingernails. Some patterns might seen not too good in short nails. I have long (average) and squares nails naturally. I don't know is it just me, or some of you have the same thought, that the popular rounded nails just not fit in me *sigh*

And oh, i don't recommend nail art for those who still like bitting the nails. Yeah, the fancy investment that you did for your nails would be just worthless then. But hey, if you want to take the chance of tasting nail polish in order to stop your nail-bitting habit, why not? We all know the there's no invention of tasty nail polish. Lol..

So, are you ready to do some nails experiment? Just try and share with me about the result. I'll see you in a jiffy...... (hope so)

greeting

2010-08-17T16:51:00.000+07:00

Hello my dearest readers, I do miss you all, but I was kinda busy recently so perhaps I'll post my new article next week. Please be patiet ok, luv u all..

The Touch of Brooch

2010-05-23T16:37:00.025+07:00

Hello peeps, please forgive me for my back-dated blog. I have a bad cough. I have been suffering for almost 3 weeks. Eeew, it's so disturbing. I went to doctor already trust me, but well, it didn't work. And now, i decide to let my body cure it itself. I just eat and sleep regularly. I just want this cough go away. I don't ask to much, do i??

Anyway, back to my back-dated blog. I want to share about Brooch in today post. Brooch? Why brooch? Well, the idea of putting the brooch in my blog actually already popped since early of this month, and again, i'll blame the cough for my lateness. Lol..

Brooch Fashion Week Fall 2009

Brooch is very classic. I remembered i had many brooches collections when i was little. My favourite one was the brooch with hat shape. It was so cute. I used to wear it to pin my handkerchief on my kindergarten uniform. He3x.. Did i just mention kindergarten? Oh yeah i just did. I know that you all now may imagine about me when i was little. One thing for sure, I was innocent and sweet. Like i am now. Lol..

Ok ok ok, i was diverted a bit. Let's back to the track. A brooch could cheer up your outfit. If you have many black or dark colored tops why don't you keep some brooches just for change your look? Well now, brooch has come in so many different designs, you could choose one to suit your mood and preference.

Jeweled Magnolia Brooch Flower

Yay, I love this brooch, so chic

As a Gossip Girl addict, i notice that there were many scenes using brooches for outfit addition. Well, never doubt the power that a brooch has. It can glam up your look instantly. Hmm, for formal occasions usually call for a simpler kind, maybe with a little bling on it. You can also put your brooch set at the waist of your gown. It'll add sparkle and also attention surely.

For going out on a Saturday night, why don't you use big, bold or fun shapes. Just have fun with your brooch collection. You can also wear broaches on the center of the collar of your favorite blouse. You can attach to a hat to add something special. Or as the most common way, you can wear it over the right or left side of the chest .

If you just have a little time to get dressed, maybe you wake up late or something, you could simply twist your hair and just pin a beautiful brooch onto a headband. That way, you have two pieces that you can use separately as well as together. So, what are you waiting now then? Go check your brooch collection and if you don't even have any, let's start to look out for pretty brooch out there. Happy hunting!!

Which one do you like? I heart the peacock..

Pilihan akhirnya jatuh ke The Park, sejenis Korean food gt, bukan karena kita penyuka makanan korea lah yaw, tapi lebih karena pertimbangan dari porsinya yang tergolong porsi kingkong sama harga yg ngga terlalu menguras kantong.

Kelar makan kita sok2an keliling Grand Indonesia yang guedenya minta ampun. Semua toko kita masukin. Kecuali beberapa toko yang masuk black list kita cuz ngga layak bgt kita kunjungin, kyk Massimo Dutti gt lah *Cuiiih, banyak gaya lu pada cuuy... Akibat berkeliling ternyata berdampak kembali pada perut2 "mungil" tiga dara manis manja grup ini sodara2. Jadilah kita memutuskan lagi buat nyari cemilan. Cemilan kok bukan makan berat, sungguh hanya cemilan sahaja *jurus berkelit dari alasan kenaikan ekstrim berat badan. Ahaha..

So kita putusin buat cari makan di ........................ Plaza Indonesia.. Jreng jreng. Sungguh niat cari cemilan. Waktu masuk ksana sempet terbius pengen masuk ke Emporio Armani yang ada tulisan 90 % sale segede bagong di depan tuh outlet. Cuman pikiran sehat masih berkuasa. Jadilah gw kembali pada tujuan smula buat nyari cemilan dunkz..

Sampai di lantai lima, perdebatan sengit pun terjadi. Gw pngen makan Pancious, si Gabz pngen nyoba Pizza e Birra, si Retha pngen FatBurger. Kwang kwang, ngga kompak bgt. Ngga mungkin kan kita makan pisah2 gitu sambil kontak2an. Sok borju bgt atuuuh. So stelah lama mikir (pengennya siy sembari suit jepang, maen domikado atopun ber cap cip cup. Utung smua masi pada inget umur. Ehehehe) akhirna kita ngikutin pilihan si Gabz di Pizza e Birra. Buat gw ngga terlalu mantep siy pizza model gepeng2 begitu.. Tapi ya takpapa, kn gw udh order tiramisu pizza yang meskipun gepeng juga tapi ad tiramisunye..

Akhirnyaaaa, setiap ad pertemuan pasti ad perpisahan. Perpisahan trio maut ini terjadi di stengah 6 sore. Tenang sodara2, ngga pake acara bertangisan atopun jambak2an. Yang jelas gw seneng bgt bs ktemuan lagi si Gabz, sama si Retha juga loh *sbelon gw kena gaplok klo lupa nyebut dese, he3x... So ktemuan lagi yuuuks kapan2, anytime, anywhere. Asal jangan di kuburan aja, ntar dikira kumpulan dedemit. Ok then, See ya readers in the next post..

Gw, Gabz sama Retha

Pose ngga bgt gw hasil jepretan si Gabz. Muka gw sadis beneeer...

My Transformation

2010-04-10T19:10:00.014+07:00

Hello readers, how are you? Any plan for this weekend? Well, i'm going to meet my old friend from univ, but hey, that's not related with my post today, just a sweet greeting from me to you all. Lol.

Today i'm going to share about my transformation for the last 4 years. Well it's not like good girl gone bad or bad girl gone good, it's all about my looks. My hair exactly. My hair always grow fast. I noticed this since i was in grade 5. My hair only needed about 2 months to grow from shoulder to waist. No wonder my mother took me to the hair salon once a month to cut or just trim my hair. And below are some pictures of mine with many hair styles.

Me in pink. Pink was my favorite color at that time

Me in my little black dress

Me in pink again. Yup the same outfit with the first picture, if you notice

Me in a blue top. This top is really useful

Me in my comfortable orange shirt. I have an adorable necklace with the same color.

Yup, that was me. In very short hair. The hairdresser made a mistake. I thought we were miss communicate. I was kinda sad at the first time saw myself in the mirror.

My hair was getting longer in a timely fashion

My hair was already reach the waist. And i was kinda bored my straight long hair. Hey, i have that style since i was in senior high school. So i decided to curl my hair. Lol

I loved my new wavy hair. Not curly like i said before. But it's just so cute.

That was me. That picture was taken 3 months ago.

So, as you can trace from above, i have the wavy long hair now. And i miss my long straight hair. I can't believe i finally say it. Lol.. So what do you think? Which style is fits me most? The straight one or the wavy one? The long one or the short one, instead??

Just gimme some comments and i'll see ya all in the next post then. Happy weekend..

Poncho for All

2010-02-21T10:57:00.010+07:00

Nowadays, ponchos light the runways of fashion shows, but they aren't the heavy-style ponchos that were popular in the past. Today's fashion trends include big size ponchos made of smooth fabrics and sexy styles, which are casually elegant, ornamented with sequins, embroidery beads, or other decorations that shine.

Why women love ponchos? Well, the poncho covers all the right areas, hiding the most worrisome figure flaws. They also say that the sleeveless poncho is easy to whip on and off as the temperature demands. The ponchos are warmer than coats because they trap heat by keeping the arms close to the body. But clearly, ponchos are so much more fun and glam than a regular coat!It's never too tight.

Throw the Ponchos on during the day for a casual feel or team them with an evening dress for the sophisticated look. Make them in a selection of colors to suit your mood and wardrobe.

cute school uniform

2009-12-04T13:04:00.010+07:00

Hello readers!! So what you've been up to today? Yay, the long holiday is coming, what's your plan for the new year? I have so many ideas that keep on poppin' in my head, lol, i better start to make my 2010 lists.. Ok, then, Well, my post today will be about the school uniform. Don't you ever wish to be teenager again? Hmm, seemed like the school uniform today is already much more dazzling than i was.

Well, the girls still want to personalize their style in clothing, so no wonder we can find easily many cute uniform around you, not only in tv-series but also in real life... That's make me want to go back to school again. Don't you feel the same??

1. Classy Style

well, these three uniforms are just too ordinary for me, but maybe if you like the safe style, you may like them then.. I like the 1st uniform, look like sailor.

2. Modified Style

i like this purple set, my favorite item in this set is the shoes. They looked very comfortable, don't they??

nah, in this set, i do like the black corsage, just like a statement in the uniform

this pic was from Legally Blondes 3, these two girls were so creative in modified their uniform, luv it.

3. How to Mix n Match

Well, if your school allows you to modify your uniform, i mean by adding some accessories, you can easily change your look by using these items:

You can add knit, cardigan, vest, scarf, ribbon, headband, or even colored tights. But do not add them at once, you won't look fashionable but weird instead. Just put two or three items only are already enough.

Anyway, uniform is just uniform, you can modify them surely, but do not forget to study. Ok then, see ya on the next post. Have a gud day, pals..

super sexy stockings and tights

2009-11-11T19:08:00.013+07:00

Hi peeps, how are you all there? I hope you'll always be fine. Anyway, when i was texting my friend this evening, i suddenly remembered about one of the Gossip Girl scene. It was the scene in "Victor Victrola" episode. When Blair danced in front of Chuck Bass using lingerie only, yup, that was my favorite scene in that episode. Blair was absolutely looks so sexy. Not that time only, but in her daily life in Gossip Girl. If you notice, you'll find out that not only Blair but her cliques in that series often wear stockings or colored tights. That's cool. I have some pictures of them, just go see then...

those two pictures are cool. They look preppy (plus sexy!!) in that outfit. I love the pink tights on the first pic

Which color are you?
Well, the trend of tights recently are dominated by the colored one. From the classical white until the jungle red. You better choose the one that suits your personality. You should have at least two pairs of these stuffs, the black and the white one of course. Trust me, you'll never go wrong using them..

the sensual red

the red tights, how sexy.. You'll win the public attention surely

the safe and classic white (or black)

so sweet and innocent. Black and white are timeless, once again, you should have them in your closet!!

colored tights, so playful

so trendy, so now, and yes, definitely so attractive

Hair Accessories Domination

2009-05-24T11:04:00.024+07:00

I so love every kind of hair accessories, even hats, and such. They keep my hair in check. Hair decoration is hot. And not to mention truly fun adding a little sparkle to your wardrobe with tiny jewelry will never hurt.

Here is a short list of popular hair accessories to help you look beautiful on your day:

Headbands : headbands are simple, yet elegant. Select a wide one for a retro look, or skinny ones for a modern, preppy look.

oversized headbands

Blair Waldorf's hairstyle: Queen of Headbands

Bobby Pins: bobby pins are so in fashion. Simple and fabulous at the same time. Your quick savior in your bad hair day. Make sure your keep some on your bag.

very cute bobby pins

beaded bobby pins

Veil - believe it or not, sometimes less is more, and a veil may be all you need. If you are opting out of hair accessories go elaborate with your veil - pearls, jewels and crystal accents will compliment your look.

Feathers - feathers are a hot trend right now, these are perfect for the trendy chick. These can be purchase and added to combs, clips, barrettes or even woven through hair.

Tiaras - these can range from classical princess styles to modern, asymmetric looks to retro inspired glam.

Fresh Flowers - once a trend, now a tradition - adding a sprig of your favorite flower to your hair can give you a romantic, soft touch.

Hair Vines - held in place by pins on each end, these are highly flexible and can conform to most any hairstyle. Many are encrusted with jewels, crystals or pearls.

Barrettes - these are not what you would think - a simple barrette can sweep back locks, hold bangs to the side or keep layers in place.

ups, this dog just too cute to be missed

Hair Jewelry - whether you decide to decorate your hair with shells (for a beach bride) or crystals (for an upscale look) hair jewelry is placed either around your style (such as a bun) or strategically placed throughout your style.

kebaya, so lovely so elegant

2009-02-08T16:39:00.007+07:00

Kebaya is Indonesian traditional cloth. It is sewed dress and has good shape. Kebaya doesn't have collar and could be classified as piece work of art. A kebaya is usually made of brocade or embroidered silk, and usually is somewhat see-through.

Kebaya has been simplified and modified. Formerly, there were not lots of varieties and decorations. Modern Kebayas are combined with Western styles. Therefore you could match this kebaya with jeans, etc. Really cool and comfortable.

Also, there are numerous varieties of materials used to make Kebayas, from ordinary to elegant and shiny materials with lots of beads on it.
Mostly, kebaya is used in formal occasions. Women love to wear it. If you pick the right kebaya, you'll look dazzling instantly. Kebaya could show the curves of your body perfectly. As Indonesian, i'm so proud wearing kebaya.

The two sides of bejeweled dress

2009-01-11T08:35:00.008+07:00

I luv Beyonce and Rachel Weisz, others are just a bit too much for me...

Hi there..

When i was opening my closet, i found my bejeweled green blouse. I wore this only for few times, almost never actually. I don't know why, i just thought that bejeweled clothes are give heavy accent to me. I have petite figure, so maybe i should say nay for all these bejeweled clothes. And plus, i have to keep jewelery to a minimum with a beaded dress as you do not want to look like a Christmas tree. But i'm gonna say nay for the clothes only, because another bejeweled stuff such as clutch, tower heels, tongs, hairband, and other will always okay for me..

Jewel tones are hot right now. Additionally, i’ve noticed a lot of hot accessories being adorned in beautiful and bold gems stones. Well, bejeweled is just a trend that we may love and hate.. Which side are you?

sex and the city- soundtrack

2008-12-31T17:48:00.015+07:00

I was listening to my list when suddenly it played Sex and The City (SATC) soundtrack, Labels or Love by Fergie. This song is so gud and meaningful. I could play it again, again and again. This song also shows us the reason why the high-class women love to spend their money for labels.

I like SATC, I find good reasons to adore this like; fashion, style, love, friendship, my favorite characters and the moral. SATC is the show which I believe improved with the passage of time. And I feel there are lots of motivations and inspirations for every one. But dunno why, now i'm crazy about Gossip Girl, another heartrob tv show.

So here's the lyrics for Labels or Love by Fergie. Actually i'm trying to find the video, but i haven't found it yet. Enjoy.

"Labels Or Love"

Shopping for labels, shopping for love
Manolo and Louis, it's all I'm thinking of Shopping for labels, shopping for love
1, 2
Manolo and Louis, it's all I'm thinking of
1, 2, 3 Turn the lights on.

I already know what my addiction is
I be looking for labels, I ain't looking for love
I shop for purses while love walks out the door Don't cry, buy a bag and get over it
And, I'm not concerned with all the politics
It's a lot of men I know I could find another.
What I know is that I'm always happy when I walk out the store, store

I'm guessing Supercalifragi-sexy, nothing to be playing with
I love him, hate him, kiss him, diss him, tryna to walk a mile in my kicks

[Chorus]
Love's like a runway but which one do I love more?
No emotional baggage, just big bags filled with Dior
Love's like a runway, so what's all the fussing for?
Let's stop chasing them boys and shop some more.
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, Turn the lights on.

I know I might come off as negative
I be looking for labels, I ain't looking for love
Relationships are often so hard to tame
A Prada dress has never broken my heart before
And, ballin's something that I'm fed up with
I'mma do the damn thing, watch me do the damn thing
Cause I know that my credit card will help me put out the flames

I'm guessing Supercalifragi-sexy, nothing to be playing with
I love him, hate him, kiss him, diss him, tryna to walk a mile in my kicks

[Chorus]

Gucci, Fendi, Prada purses, purchasing them finer things
Men they come a dime a dozen, just give me them diamond rings
I'm into a lot of bling, Cadillac, Chanel and Coach
Fellas boast but they can't really handle my female approach
Buying things is hard to say
Rocking Christian Audigier, Manolo, Polo, taking photos in my Cartier
So we can't go all the way, I know you might hate it but
I'm a shop for labels while them ladies lay and wait for love

[Chorus]

Shopping for labels, shopping for love
Manolo and Louis, it's all I'm thinking of
Shopping for labels, shopping for love
1, 2 Manolo and Louis, it's all I'm thinking of
1, 2, 3 Turn the lights on
