Verner Panton – The Collected Works

Hi everyone, i just returned back from a lovely weekend trip and found something really interesting while i stayed there. Held at National Museum of Singapore, Verner Panton visualized his collections perfectly nice. All of his chair designs and furnishing textiles he used describes how fun seating should be – just like playing. Each of his designs has a different concept, such as for “Mobile Furniture” and his initial design “Phantom chair”, but the best was (for me) highlighted by the “Phantasy Landscape” in bold and beautiful combination of colors and shapes.

Jens Lekman Coming to Town

Oohh….he’s really coming? ! This lad soothes my ears, and sadly, i didn’t get to watch his concert last year while i had a chance to  (i was probably busy spending my pennies for sumthin else, ex. lipstick).  Well, hopefully i can kick my ass today and ride myself to bandung to specially see Jens Lekman (pronounced ‘Yens’) singing directly in front of me.

Beggars in Jakarta

Ada beberapa kesan sih yang gue tangkap tentang Beggars, alias peminta-minta di Jakarta:

1. Banyak juga yang ngendon di JEMBATAN PENYEBRANGAN busway, kadang gak enak lalu lalang ngelewatin mereka.

2. Kebanyakan mereka itu ORANG TUA, alias ibu-ibu atau nenek-nenek…ga tega kan?

3. Ada juga yang sengaja GENDONG ANAK, kadang suka penasaran siy, itu anaknya beneran gak ya? Konon katanya, anak-anak ini disewa atau dipinjemin dari sang juragan…ckckck.

4. Bermodalkan GELAS AQUA BEKAS, mereka gak perlu repot-repot minta, cukup tidur di lantai atau lirik kanan lirik kiri dengan muka memelas…duh, gemes juga liatnya, kadang-kadang ada juga ibu-ibu yang keliatan masi sehat & bugar, mungkin masi ada lahan kerja dengan menjadi pembantu rumah tangga?

5. Jam operasi mereka dari PAGI menjelang MALAM, jarang siy ngeliat mereka beroperasi di pagi hari, karena gue udah biasa jalan ngelewatin jembatan setiap pagi & malam,  kalo diperhatiin tampaknya mereka lebih banyak beroperasi saat hari sudah mulai gelap. Well, as you guys can see from the pict below, which i took just about last nite, one of these beggars appears in night lights.

Junk Food tastes Damn Good

Mc Donald’s BIG MAC

Aaaaaah….pusing yeh mikirin berat badan?

Sama dong ah. Well berdasarkan pengalaman-pengalaman sebelumnya, lebih gampang gain weight rather than losing weight. Hahahaaa…pasti semua setuju dong? tinggal comot sana-sini then there you go…tradaaaa !! sukses naikin berat badan dengan cepat. Apalagi kalo comotnya itu nyomot greasy foods yang gurih, juicy dan tasty. Siapa juga yang gak ngiler? Kayak saya nih…dua minggu terakhir lagi doyan banget makan Big Mac, dan dalam waktu sekejap, jeans saya sekarang tambah ketat dan sesak. Konsumsi makanan junk food pun membuktikan betapa gak ngaruhnya bulan Ramadhan kemarin ini in losing my weight. Hahahaa…ya iya lah ya…niatnya kan bukan untuk nurunin berat badan.  Anyways, saya juga pernah nyoba makan di KFC, dalam seminggu makan ayam crispy (bukan ayam yang original ya) sekitar 3-4 kali, dan hasilnya: saya langsung gained 6 pounds in just a week! Wah…kebayang deh itu lemak ayamnya ada di dalam badan saya rasanya lemes kalo kepikiran. Soalnya nurunin fat massnya itu susah setengah mati ! Padahal ngerasain ayamnya juga gak nyampe 10 menit. Tapi ya gimana dong ya…it’s so frickin hard to resist these junk foods. Cos it tastes so damn good guys!

My Sibling’s Wedding Party

Morning everyone !

It was my big sister’s wedding day yesterday…pretty exhausting, sensing lots of tension, tears and laughters. Above all that, i’m happy for her. So happy for her having a new life, even though i’m a bit sad as it gets closer for her going away from home. Well, these are the pics i’ve just uploaded from the wedding party !

Life Cycle

I have so many wedding days in my schedule for this month. Turns out it became a marriage month after all. To make it clear, probably i should write down my weekend schedule: Two week ago was my friend’s engagement day. Last week i went to an ‘accident’ wedding party which made me as one of their Pager Ayu’s. This weekend is my big sis’s wedding day. And in another week again is my friend’s wedding day. See…? Almost every weekend!

Tapi sebenernya kawinan tuh menyenangkan lho, we get to meet & greet long lost friends, and also meet new relations, and don’t forget the free meals (cihuyy…terutama bagi para lelaki yg makannya super liar pas liat all of the delight dishes). Tapi plis deh, tiap minggu kawinan berturut-turut? sebenernya ada alasan lain sih, yg bikin agaK sedikit males hadir di kawinan.  Biasanya kalo di kawinan, kita pasti harus nyari kalimat pembuka tiap ketemu orang. Kan ketemu temen lama, pasti harus basa basi dong bok. Dari mulai “apa kabar” ampe selanjutnya topik pembicaraan mulai mengarah ke independent issues. “Kapan lulus…kerja dimana…kapan kawin…” trus nanti kalo uda kawin, pertanyaannya masih bersambung tuh “rumahnya dimana sekarang…kapan punya anak…” nah loh. Liat tuh. Ga abis2 deh pertanyaannya. Nah kalo buat kita2 yg ngerasa hidup sudah mantap, maka berbahagialah anda, hidup tenang hati pun senang. Tapi kalo buat kita2 yg hidupnya masi empot-empotan, wah males juga tuh ngejawabnya. Pasti di dalam hati sayup-sayup terdengar “cape dueh…hari gini masi ditanyain juga, MYOB please”. Tapi gue sih ga masalah kalo yang nanya juga senasib…hehehe. Walopun hati jadi was was, pertanda nexttime mulai harus bisa ngejawab dengan mantab (yes, pake B, mantaB) pas ketemu si x yg hobi nanya-nanya di kawinan. Mantab menjawab dengan maksut dan tujuan bukan berpamer ria lho…tapi justu ingin berbagi, siapa tau nanti si x bisa jadi rekan bisnis, ato jadi future husband/wife? Bisa jadi! So, that’s life. Life has to be better in every tomorrow. Dan betapa kita ga menyadari bahwa life cycle keeps on moving!
