My First Trip Abroad (and ALONE)

Hey, been so long since the last time I posted something here.

Hehe, if you want more updates well, I guess you can try visiting my fashion and beauty blog by clicking My Fashion Blog on the pages above.

So, I am going to Singapore for five days and four nights this September, from 8 to 12 of September. I am going to attend Ingrid Michaelson LIVE in Concert at Esplanade Concert Hall. Hehe, are you familiar with her, anyway? I bet that most of you never heard about her, but for those who reside in Indonesia, well, you must be familiar with  one of her song which featured as commercial jingle of Mizone; BE OK. 


For more information about Ingrid Michaelson, you can visit her official website here.

You can watch her latest video, which I love, of course!


Anyway, this will be my first time traveling abroad, and ALONE! Woohoo, I'm so excited. Hehe, I've been to Singapore once, but it was 6 years ago so there will be a huge change of course. I have friends there, but I decided to try on Couch Surfing. Well, if you don't know about it, I'll briefly explain it to you. Couch Surfing is a volunteer-based worldwide network connecting travelers with members of local communities, who offer free accommodation and/or advice. I accidentally stumbled on this amazing website on StumbleUpon (click here to add me on StumbleUpon).

So, after a few requests and a couple of rejection (most of the rejection are due to the host's disability to host because they are already hosting others during my arrival), I finally found a host! Yippie, being hosted means that I can save for the accommodation (which is expensive here). It's a boy anyway, we're keep contacting each other about the trip and so far the response is still positive. I hope that I can get free guide, too. :p

I'll keep you posted when I get there!

And Then You


How my thoughts they spin me 'round
And how my thoughts they let me down
And how my thoughts they spin me 'round
And how my thoughts they let me down

And how my dreams they spin me 'round
And how my dreams they let me down
And how my thoughts they spin me 'round
And how my thoughts they let me down

Then there's you
Then there's you
Then there's you
Then there's you

And how my love it spins me 'round
And how my love it's let me down
And how my thoughts they spin me 'round
And how my thoughts they let me down

Then there's you
Then there's you
Then there's you
Then there's you

You know I know that you know
I've written it on myself if you can't tell
With a melody that climbs and then falls, then falls, then falls
Without you, without you

How my days they spin me 'round
And how today it sets me down
And how my days they spin me 'round
And how today it sets me down

Alongside you
Alongside you
Alongside you
I am in love with this song by Greg Laswell. So who is this guy, exactly? Well, for my friends in Indonesia, I bet that many of you have already know him. Greg Laswell is a musician, recording engineer, and producer from USA. If you're a fan of TV Series Grey's Anatomy, then you spent most of your TV time listening to his song. Many of his songs are featured in that famous TV Series. But to be honest, I am not a fan of Grey's Anatomy since I never watch it even once. So, where did I found out about him? I am a huge fan of Ingrid Michaelson, which is his wifey, then after learn about that I started to browse about him and listen to his pieces. The result? Magnificent! I love this man. He and Ingrid is match made in heaven. His music is beautiful and so is the lyric.

So, lately I've been playing this song of his all the time, literally. This song called "And Then You" is a terrific song. The lyrics are beautiful and I find it so soothing and deep in its meaning. Though I don't have my significant other yet, I still say that this song is a perfect song for those of you who is in love with somebody and feels like you can rely all of your world upon him/her.

So, have you try listening to Greg Laswell's songs?

Adele's Someone LIke You: Overrated

I repost this from my own tumblr post. Yeah, I'm too lazy to write anything new. You can also visit (or even follow) my tumblog here.

I guess this will be my first time for a long post in tumblr (especially it’s only an opinion, not a matter of my broken heart, hehe). Lately I’ve been talking to my friend; Riska, about overrated things. Yes, overrated.
