I'm made for FAITHFUL

Whenever I stumble in the middle, I always listen to this soothing song.
Pay attention to every single words in this song.
It's just wonderful period.
Yeah.... Brooke Fraser is a genius in writing love, environmental awareness, and worship songs.
What a talent !
I love all of her songs, particularly this one. : )

"When I can't feel you, I have learned to reach out just the same
When I can't hear you, I know you still hear every word I pray
And I want you more than i want to live another day
And as I wait for you, maybe I'm made more faithful"

"Show me how I should live this
Show me where I should walk
I count this world as lost to me
You are all I want
You are all I want"

List to Shop Shop

Ok, the final plan is I'm going back to Indonesia for good, unless there's something happened which can make me to stay in Boston. It's so hard to say goodbye to this place, Boston, a lovely city. I will miss lots lots of things, Charles river, cozy cafe, low tax, shopping, dining experiences, and of cos, the people. Oh well...

So, here is the list of things that I would like to hunt.

1. TOry Burch Reva flats in black patent and gold logo.

The flats is incredibly comfortable. However, I'm really looking for a pair of black patent flats. I'm looking for this anywhere but they don't have it anymore. : ( Shopbop has it, but in size 9 and 10.

2. Diamond Black Suede Flats by Diane Von Furstenberg. Ok, I almost give up looking for those reva flats. So, I also kinda like flats with studs. I came across this pair of shoes. And, I think it's cute. My concern is it's material. It's made up from suede.

3. A daily casual handbag, which is ready to be brought by me most of the time. I'm looking for a multi-functional handbag to replace my old beloved Ferragamo. : ) I think Givenchy nightingle would be perfect. I wish there will be more sale coming up. HAHAHa....

4. A wallet. (Optional)

5. A stock of cosmetic products.
Mineral powder, Bobbi Brown eye liner gel and eye concealer, Maybelline mascara, Sisley loose powder, NARS nude lipstick, and some eye cream gel (in search).

6. Luggage. I want a TUMI luggage. HIHIHIHI......

7. More to come... but I guess that would be the major ones. HIhihihi.....

Stand out from the crowd in good ways.

Rocky Balboa

I just finished watching the whole series of Rocky movie (Rocky 1-5, and Rocky Balboa), together with my family.

I guess this legendary Hollywood's hit is one of our fave movies.

Rocky is portrayed as a good-hearted man who is living for love and glory.

Although the whole series seemed to have the similar storyline, we just can't get enough of Rocky.

I love this character and I would love to see Rocky statue at the Museum of Art in Philadelphia.

Besides, I realized how cool the young Stallon in this movie. :)

Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth.

Current Obsession : Guy Wearing Tux!

I am watching Boys Over Flowers these days.

FYI, BOF is a new Korean version of F4 drama series.

Compared to the Taiwan version, this movie shows more glamorous lifestyle.

Particularly, the boys here are such 'fashionista'.

One of the guys that I really love to watch is Kim Bum (act as Yi Jung).

It's all because he always wears tux, blazers, or coat. : )))))

Oh.... it's also because of his one million dollar smile.

Craving for IPPUDO ramen!

I'm such a HUGE FAN of noodles! I just can't live without it! I'm such a noodle addict!

So far, Ippudo (NYC) ramen would be the second best ramen, after Meya Musashi (Japan) that I've ever tried!

I just love the texture of the noodle, very chewy and tender.

Well, the soup is ok, regular tasty garlic-y pork broth.

Overall, it's worth trying. : )

Love her! Love the pic! Love the hair! ~.~

MOVIEs!!!

I'm not a movie junkie, but I'll definitely watch these movies. Yay....

Bone, Anyone?

Photo by: Melissa Hom

The dish on the picture above is called The miso-glazed bone marrow (served at the Double Crown, NYC).

Many and many restaurants have actually been serving this entree.

Soon, Oak Room will be serving bone-marrow-crusted day-boat scallops with cipollini-onion purée, tomato marmalade, and bone-marrow crouton.

I would be so tempted to hunt down this dish if they left out the 'bone' part.

It also says that this exotic dish is becoming into comfort food.

Seriously?

My Mix and Match Song

Ok, so... I'm over with those mellow songs.
This would be my quick mix of songs that I've been listening to.
It would be the mix of alternative, pop, and some trance yo.
Oh... and, one Indie alternative song. HOHOHO

My Mix Match Songs

Good Girls Go Bad

I just found this new catchy song from youtube.
What's more catchy is this group of band, called Cobra Starship, is featuring with Leighton Meester!!!!!
Woohoooo....

My Current Playlist : <3 Glenn Fredly

This would be the playlist of songs that I've been listening in the past 2 days.
It's the combination of love, desperado, mellow, and break-up songs.

By olsens anonymous

Woohoo.... I might try to put huge fashion rings on each of my finger. : p

When it comes to the red carpet, I'm always amazed by how Anne Hathway dresses up.

My eyes popped out when I saw her in this gorgeous Armani Prive dress at the Oscar 2009.

And, I absolutely love her in this Marc Jacobs dress that she was wearing at the "Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion" MET Costume Gala.

Her Pour La Victoire metalic strappy platform definitely complement the dress.

I love her! : )

Puppy Love

I can imagine myself jogging with a Gold River dog along the Charles River.
Hihhihihihhi.....

Also, I love English Bulldog puppy.
Although many people think that they are not cute, I really think the opposite way.
They are AMAZINGLY cute, especially those which have lots lots of fats and 'wrinkles' in the face and body.

I miss Singapore

This song really brings back the old memory of my secondary school in Singapore.
I remembered the whole school sang this song to celebrate Independence Day.
We were really holding hands with one another while singing this.
At that moment, I realized how proud they are, as Singaporeans. (at least, it's applied to my schoolmates)
Most important, I realized how blessed I was to have the opportunity to study there, meeting great people, great friends. : )

I have been silent all these years.

Oldies! I love Oldies!
This song is originally sung by Tori Amos.
I love Tori Amos.
But, I love this version better.

My Current Obsession

I want to pursue my passion.

Influence with The Olsen Twins

As I passed by Urban Outfitters yesterday, I was browsing the twins' book, called Influence.

I was honestly tempted to buy the book.

I am a huge fans of them when they started acting as Michelle Taner in Full House show.

I even love their style now.

On the second thought, I'm gonna buy it. LoL

John Stamos - Uncle Jesse

He is 45.

With this look? Hotness!

I love Uncle Jesse!

What If ..?

What if you're right?
What if it's true?
What then?
But what if you're wrong?
What if there's more?
What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for?
What if you jump?
And just close your eyes?
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?
What if it's love?
What if you dig way down deeper than your simple-minded friends?
What if you find a thousand more unanswered questions down inside?
That's all you find?
What if you pick apart the logic and begin to poke the holes?
You've been running as fast as you can.
You've been looking for a place you can land for so long.
But what if you're wrong?

-Part of What If lyrics by Nicole Nordeman

This would be the cleanest sketch that I've ever drawn.

I miss Ruby

I have taken some lessons on horseback riding few years ago.

And, I really enjoyed every single of it.

I even asked my dad to buy me a white horse. Hee... of course, he won't let me.

I remembered how excited I was whenever I went for my lesson.

I ride the most beautiful white horse that I've ever seen, called Ruby.

It was so hard for me to get off of Ruby once I was on her.

I always asked my instructor for some extra time to ride Ruby.

I miss Ruby! I wonder how she is doing now.

I'm thinking to visit her!

And, do some riding! Heee..... : )

When I came across this picture, it just reminds me of Ruby.

I miss her : (

Isn't she beautiful?

Up !!!!

I can't wait till May 29!

I can't wait to watch this 3D Movie!

I can't wait to see the old grumpy Karl and the chubby Russell in their adventure. : )

Mirror, mirror on the wall, what do you see? ME

Yes, tell me about it! I'm bored to death.

Anyway, I just read about narcissism from wikipedia.

It's an interesting fact that it's derived from Greek mythology.

I've heard of this myth for long time but didn't really pay attention to it.

'Narcissism describes the trait of excessive self-love, based on self-image or ego.
The term is derived from the Greek mythology of Narcissus. Narcissus was a handsome Greek youth who rejected the desperate advances of the nymph Echo. As punishment, he was doomed to fall in love with his own reflection in a pool of water. Unable to consummate his love, Narcissus pined away and changed into the flower that bears his name, the narcissus.' - Wikipedia.org

D.A.I - Do As Infinity

Rakuen - Do As Infinity

I was browsing some oldies music on Youtube.

Somehow, I remembered one Japanese band, called Do As Infinity.

This band is trio, 1 female vocalist (Tomiko Van, she rocks!), and 2 male guitarists.

Their songs are my all time fave for Japanese songs.

Listening to their songs, it brings back my high-school memory.

Anyway, I love the vocalist!

She used to be my girl crush. :)

Her facial expression really shows cold innocent look.

She is just lovely!

Isn't she lovely with both short and long hair!?

I Do Not Hook Up

I Do Not Hook Up - Kelly Clarkson

Oh no I do not hook up up
I go slow
So if you want me, I don't come cheap
Keep your hand in my hand
And your heart on your sleeve

Oh no I do not hook up up
I fall deep
'Cause the more that you try
The harder I'll fight
To say...goodnight

~~~~~~That would be my fave.

Her song, My Life Would Suck Without You is pretty crazy.
I would say this video clip is even crazier!
She is showing her 'coyote ugly' side.
However, I lourve the sparkling jeweled heels that she is wearing. : )
It is amazing Balmain crystal studded sandals.
Me likey!

Food Marathon: Spicy Bonchon Chicken Slurpp...

Dear Chicken lovers,

You guys have to love this superb food creation.

The Bonchon Spicy Wings is divine.

I tasted the first bite which lasts forever when I was in NYC.

Two friends of mine and I were really addicted.

We, three girls, ordered 1 large, and 2 medium hot wings, and finished all of them.

FYI, 1 large = 23-25 wings, 1 medium = 18 wings. Do the math! ;p

You will just keep wanting and wanting after your first bite.

I seriously don't feel regretful consuming many calories and fats on this super greasy, crispy food.

Btw, they have two flavors; spicy (which I really love) and soy garlic.

I would highly recommend the Bon Chon spicy hot wings.

I'm lovin it! Parapapapa.....
