You're my kryptonite

So,
dont call me act like a young girl, because I like this young boy band. "One Direction"!
Yeah...
This is a nice lyrics of their song, I guess,
so I put it here.

Lets sing... :)


"One Thing"


I've tried playing it cool
But when I'm looking at you
I can’t ever be brave
'Cause you make my heart race

Shot me out of the sky
You're my kryptonite
You keep making me weak
Yeah, frozen and can't breathe


Something’s gotta give now
'Cause I’m dying just to make you see
That I need you here with me now
'Cause you've got that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing
And you've got that one thing

Now I'm climbing the walls
But you don't notice at all
That I'm going out of my mind
All day and all night

Something’s gotta give now
'Cause I'm dying just to know your name
And I need you here with me now
'Cause you've got that one thing

"Please stop the time..." My 7th book.

Reading a japanese comic, with the title as above, really inspired me.
So many good things in this life make us wanna scream:
Pleaseeeeeee, stop the time, please......
I still wanna enjoy this moment.

Then, it became an inspiration for my next book.

Please,...
stop the time...

My 7th book.
Enjoy.

One day at J-Rock Concert

So,
this is gonna be my first time to watch rocker from Japan on concert in Jakarta.
There are 3 rocker group, but the most liked by me is MUCC. I like their songs (even though i cant understand all the lyrics, hahahaha) especially a song that sounds slow and melancholic, and seems a sad song. I am planning to memorize the lyrics (You'll never imagine how many weeks I spent to search for this song, hehehe).

so, 意外で、I like japanese rock music!

And... this is the lyrics:
暁のやみ
AKATSUKI NO YAMI

Shinitakute me wo tojita
Boku no subete mu ni kaeshi
Kioku kara kietai to nemurezu kangaeteita
Kumorizora ame chiratsuite
Kinou no tenki, uso no you.
"Ikiru kutsuu mo niteru na" to, ame ni utarete mita

Kaze, hitotabi fukeba
Utsurou keshiki dou korobu?
Fukaku zekkai no soko e to shizumi hitori, kara ni komoredo
Urei wa muda to satosu sono egao ni sukuwareru
Fukaku oboromori yami e to susumi kokoro mayu ni tozasedo
Nageki no ito mure wo hodoki
Akatsuki no yami tatazumite kono te ni nokorishi nukumori ni tou
Itsuka seseragi ni sasabune ukabe
Ano basho e kaeremasu ka?

Ame ni, tsubuyaita
"Ashita, tenki ni nare"

*****Translation:*****

"Moonless Dawn"

I wanted to die and close my eyes
Return myself to nothing
I wanted to erase my memories and sleep without thought
Cloudy skies and flickering rain
Like yesterday's weather was a lie
The rain tried to beat it into me:
“Stop reflecting life's misery”
The wind, if it blows for a moment
How will it change the view as I fall?
Even as I'm confined to this shell, I sink to the depths of the distant seas alone
There's no point in pleading with my sorrow
I'll be saved by your smiling face
Even though my heart is locked away in a cocoon, I venture deep into the darkened misty forest
The threads of grief an unraveling tangle
I attempt to withstand the moonless dawn and care for the warmth left in my hands
Someday I'll float a sasabune** down a little stream
Can I ever return to that place?
I murmured to the rain
“Things will be better tomorrow”

Farewell, Saito san...

This year, we lose three expatriates that return back to Japan. It was Tsukada san, Ichihara san, and the last one is Saito san.

Farewell, Saito san, hope we can meet again in the future. We're gonna miss you in the kitchen, since you were the most frequent visitor of the kitchen for taking the water to drink, hahahahaha....

The concert of my daughter

My daughter likes singing and dancing. She loves to sing. Even though her voice is not so great, we put her into a course on singing. This course institution always do concert every year, maybe three or four times. Last year, related with Jakarta city anniversary, they held concert in Istora Senayan. Beside that, also in Grand Indonesia, Gandaria City, Cinere Mall etc. This year they'll have concert in Istora again, on June 23, 2012, in opening Jakarta Book Fair, like last year. As a parent, we can only proud to be a fans and audience for our daughter's concert. We are not planning to make her a star or a singer/dancer in the future, but to maximalize her left brain, to have fun, to get many friends and to make her childhood happy. Thats a parent can only do, hope, and pray, right? :)

Mom is playing football :)

What a mother is doing in the weekend? Yeah, what else, accompanying the children. My daughter likes ice skating, and only two places in Jakarta to find itu, Pondok Indah mall and Taman Anggrek. Sometimes I just cant resist if she ask for skating. And for having a son, a father and mother will be also playing football. This is an interesting game for a mom, playing football with your son, so masculine, yet fun (but please forget your high heels, hahaha...). And off course, who doesnt like swimming. This is a perfect zone for a family. That is how we spend the weekend. Isnt it nice, huh? :)

The birthday party

Its eight. Eight years Yeah, the more I remember my daughter's age, the more I realize that I'm getting older more each day, hahaha... Time runs so fast. It feels like yesterday when I hug her in my arms, when she was still a baby... And now she's like a teenager who can plan her own birthday celebration. This year she ask to do it at Mc. Donalds, with the angry bird cake and the clown. She even only invite her favourite friends. Yeah, all the parents in the world want is their children happiness. Right? :)

Oouch! Jakarta is so hot!

Oh no, it is so hot today... I need some ice...

Is it summer in Jakarta? I'd rather get in refrigerator...

So, guys, if you miss winter season, just jump to your kitchen! Its near, free and safe!

I hope someone look in this picture and ask me to be a model for their product, hahahaaaaaaaaa
