Ear Bleeding Potential

Holla!

I just made a Soundcloud account finally. And this is my first recording. I sang The Way I Am by Ingrid Michaelson. It's not a really difficult song, but it got me 5 times to take vocal. There's a loooott of missing pitch-control here and there. Haha! But don't you ever underestimate my skill in singing, you don't know that I've been a vocalist in a band when I was still in college. You believe it? No? Hahaa,, whatever!


By the way, this song is for my boyfriend that is far faraway, though I know he doesn't get internet connection right there. Extraño su besos bebe! :*

Bye!

Sunny Day in Taman Mini Indonesia Indah

Holla!

Dari kemarin-kemarin pengen ngeblog cuma bingung mau post apa.. Ehm, sebenernya ga bingung sih, there are soooooo much thoughts swirling in my mind lately, but I was too lazy to write it down. Well,  posting some late pictures aja yaa..

Jadi dua minggu yang lalu, pada hari minggu, saya diajak Ami ke TMII, yep Taman Mini Indonesia Indah. Saya lupa kapan terakhir kali kesana, tapi yang jelas nggak pernah ada yang berkesan, so did that sunday. Haha! Of course! It was damn hot freakin sunday! And it's veeerrryyy crowded, both people and vehicles! 

Tujuan utama kesana adalah nemenin Ami ikut halal bihalal daerah Tanjung Balai, tempat si Ami berasal. Tiket masuk TMII gratis, ditanggung sama acara halbil Tanjung Balai. But free entrance didn't really tempted me by the way, because you only have to pay 10k and it's not a big expense compare to other tourism spots in Jakarta like Dufan. 
Jadi sebenarnya abis acara halbil, saya, Ami, dan Ika berencana piknik. Yes picnic! Kita bertiga udah janjian bawa bekal. Tapi pas sampe sana liat orang dan mobil bejubel, niat piknik pun dibatalkan. Dan ternyata hari itu hampir di semua anjungan lagi ada acara halal bihalal. It's a reaaally wrong time to visit TMII that day. 
Akhirnya abis acara halbil, kita cuma masuk ke salah satu rumah adat di anjungan Sumatra Utara sebentar dan abis itu memutuskan buat sepedaan keliling TMII. It's quite fun, although I still couldn't stand the heat. Bike rent costs 10k/hour and one hour was totally enough for me. 

met Ami's friends, expressive Bataknese girls ;)
traditional dance  
Anjungan Sumatra Utara
love being candid. haha!
mau naik ini tapi antriannyaa.. rrr..
ignore our kucelness please..

That's it. I think it would be better plan a picnic day in TMII on weekdays. That's one of my not-yet-accomplish plan with my boyfriend. 

Will post more pictures soon. 

Bye!


ps : teman-teman, mau nanya dong, kalian bisa ngeblog dari blackberry, android, iphone, atau other mobile phones nggak? cause I can't. Udah pake download blogger app-nya loh padahal. Any solutions? Thx :))

Childhood Paintings

Hola! 

Lately I need something to keep me busy, to make me forget about stressful job hunting. Sigh.
Then, I found my friends' Path account and she posted a lot of her water painting works and those amazed me. 

I used to have that hobby when I was still in elementary school and junior high. Painting with water colour. I loved painting. I could sit and painted all day and worried about nothing else. I forget the precise time I stopped doing it regularly. Maybe growing up and going to another school that further away had robbed my leisure time ( I blame growing up most! ). 

And yesterday I found my old painting book in a pile of dusty books in one of cabinet at home! So glad mum hasn't throw it away. My paintings are not that preety though. I didn't use any special technique and I wasn't a pro of course. I did that because I enjoy it so much and I always think that drawing, painting, crafting, or any other artwork should be done without being told it's right or wrong and also done without compulsion and deadline! Yeah! 

Here are some of my childhood paintings..










Looking these old works surely makes me want to paint again. This is one perfect distraction!
