As we all know, Indonesia is one of the country that has a great fondness in soccer. What is so great about soccer? For me, soccer is one important element that can strengthen unity and togetherness among all people throughout the nation.
Indonesia played very beautifully and attractively in AFF Suzuki Cup 2010, which had just ended. Indonesia failed to win the AFF Suzuki Cup 2010, but it successfully moved hundreds of million of people worldwide. And it wins the hearts of Indonesian.
Soccer has once again unite the nation, at least in the last 2 weeks. Millions and millions of people nationwide consistently talked about their nation soccer team, wore their red color jersey, and shared their pride with counterparts worldwide.

Most of women dream about having a perfect husband, perfect career, perfect family and of course perfect WEDDING!! and yeah, I'm one of those people who crave for a fun and grand wedding!!
This time of year, I received lots of wedding invitation which inspired me to have a beautiful wedding of my own. Got lots of spare time today, in the end i came up with this TOP 5 wedding venues that i adore,,,,

it's finally here!!! The concert that i've been waiting for!!! This is the great closing concert of the year! woooohooooo,,,,give it up to
The Temper Trap!!!
Ok,,,,first,,,Thanks to Ismaya Live for bringing The Temper Trap to Indonesia! The show start at 8pm with Efek Rumah Kaca and James Yuill as the opening act.
and yess, after waiting 2,5 hours it's finally here! what i hate is i got a nice spot in front of the stage but i left it because i have to pee and we need cigarette breaks, we can't smoke inside. when i returned, the place is crowded!! I can't move to the front at all,,,
Ok at 22.30,,,,Temper trap open with instrumental intro followed "Rest". And the heat is on when they play FADER!! yess,,,,i'm screaming while singing and jumping like crazy. Yess that's the beauty of festival place, we feel the ambiance! Temper trap again play Fools, Down River and Love Lost,,,,,mass choir is on!!
you can hear the mass choir clearly and but instead you can't hear Dougy! but if you were there,,,it's impossible not to sing even though Temper trap song is not easy to sing! Dougy speaks Bahasa fluently!! YESS,,,the man with that amazing falset voice comes from Indonesia!! Proud of you Dougy!!
SING IT LOUDLY!!! "Our love was lost Our love was lost,but now we've found it. And if you flash your heart, your heart, I won't deny it. I promise,,,,"
They have 5 minutes break and come back again with New Song and Sciences of Fear! Dougy talked about how members got stomachache for having too many Indonesian dishes,,,so they have to take a break!
The concert finished at 1am i guess,,,and i spend the rest of the day hangout with my friends at Melly's, a cool cheap place to drink and hangout! i ended up going home at 5am in the morning! But it's totally worth it!
Wow,,,it's LOOOOONG! Overwhelm with the exitement! Too bad i didn't get to see The Raveonettes in Bandung, because they both perform at the same day at different places! I heard The Flaming Lips concert in Singapore were awesome! I wish i got money to go there,,,
I didn't plan to go to this Festival before but fortunately one of my friend who works in media offer me free tickets,,,and Thank you Cecile for doing that coz i had a time of my life! there are several singer that perform that day which are Les Nubians (french soul duo), Dira Sugandi, Sandy Sandoro, Barry Likumahua tribute to motown, The Boogiemen and the highlight of the evening COOLIO!!
I arrived late at the venue which is in Istora Senayan, i immediately go to Main stage to watch Les Nubians. The one that i like with Java Production is they always always ON TIME! Bravo for it!
Helene and Celia, under their voices, we were on a spell!! Their voice is amazing and the song mostly in French so it always sounds sexy! I had a best spot to watch them in front of the stage exactly
(i capture it with my low quality camera phone)
And this is one of their song Liberte in the new album called Nu Revolution!
And one more performer that made my day is Coolio! I only know two songs of Coolio but i enjoyed the show very much! I didn't believe that Coolio is 47 and he's too attractive for that age. He interacted with the female audience often! He's down to earth indeed! after the concert finished, he came down to the crowds and shake hands with them include me!!!!!!!!!!! yesss,,,,i shook Coolio hands! i didn't took any photos or video,,,we just simply enjoy the concert, sing along, dancing and screaming out loud!
Today is a blast! Good concert, good performer, good friends,,,
after 14 years waiting,,,,3 hours waiting in the rain,,,
Give it up to KULA SHAKER!!
They played 13 songs in total!! That's a lot! in Korea they only played 8 songs! I'm really grateful for that,,,
Good songlist including old "kick ass" song such as Hush, Govinda, Tattva, Hey Dude, Mystical Machine Gun, Sounds of Drum.
A bit higlight on "Peter pan RIP",,,before play this song, Mr Mills jokes about it by saying "But hey, this is not the song about the pop/pornstar kay?",,,the audience were laughing and questioning how the hell Crispian knows about that???
And the magnificent closing song by Kula Shaker, "Govinda" chanted by over 1000 audience! good and skillful intro yet again from Mr. Mills
Mr Mills rocks the stage amazingly!! crazy fangirl alert huh? he's one of my idol growin up,,,The performance was awesome,,,,best day of my life!
usually i spend most of my summer workin in Club Med,,,but i guess my CM days are over now coz i have a job and a bf who minds a lot if i travel,,,
oh how i miss the shows,,,,i miss all the nice GM's,,,i miss workin like shit day and night,,,i miss the 3 days workin and partying without sleep,,,i miss the pressure,,,i miss doin the choreography for kids,,,i can continue on and on about this
this is one of the show that i did there,,,which i miss the most,,,
Karimun Jawa,,,islands near Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia! good gate away place to release your stress and awesome place to dive and snorkling!
It takes around 12 hours to get there from Jakarta, we go by train to Semarang then we switch to a speedboat ferry that drive us to Karimun Jawa mainland,,,
From there, we're off to our lodge. The place called "Pulau Tengah", we rented one whole island for us.Isn't it amazing? We can scream and sing as loud as we can!! The island is heaven and the locals are friendly however there are no electricity until 6pm. Well who needs electricity anyway when this is what you got!!
For the next two days, we're hopping island from Menjangan island, Sintok island, Gosong island, etc,,,,we drive around using this fisherman's boat
We discover the most beautiful things under the sea,,,colorful corals and fishes!
and found the perfect place to take a picture!
Our guide also manage to catch Barracuda fish for our lunch!
and our last night together, we spend it star gazing, chit chat-in, drinkin lots of booze, fantasizing, etc! For me it's our magic moment! the moment where we just look at the stars, lookin for shooting stars, laughing our ass off, no stress indeed!! it's perfect!
We go back the next day,,,feelin unsatisfied! Well, holiday it's over,,,it's time to work again! make lots of money to spend on holidays again!
bye bye karimun jawa!! we'll be missing you! hopefully i can come visit you some other time!
