Sudden call

Song that just popped up on my phone

Coeur de pirate - Comme des enfants

p.s: So glad I heard it, little Manhattan I'm coming...

Kucari Kamu

Currently listen to:

Payung Teduh - Kucari Kamu

Kucari kamu dalam setiap malam
Dalam bayang masa suram
Kucari kamu dalam setiap langkah
Dalam ragu yang membisu
Kucari kamu dalam setiap ruang
Seperti aku yang menunggu kabar dari angin malam
Aku cari kamu
Disetiap malam yang panjang
Aku cari kamu
Kutemui kau tiada
Aku cari kamu
Disetiap bayang kau tersenyum
Aku cari kamu
Kutemui kau berubah
Kucari kamu dalam setiap jejak
Seperti aku yang menunggu kabar dari matahari

She and Him

In the Sun

Sing

She and Him's songs are my current track in my playlist lately. Accompanying me through my sleepless nights in a row. I believe that somehow Zooey Deschanel has reincarnated from past era for her voiceand style are really unique and vintage. You may check out her performance in She and Him's website here.

Current picts, current song, current feeling

London (still) 

moving on

new chapter

literally :'(

but I wont give up, I will add a lot of efforts (again) into it

and a plenty of love potion

inner and kaffah scarf - saturday market, forever 21 top, Gaudi bag, TLTSN flats, Lil' Moo ring

no more standing in a blurred situation

(insha Allah)

mam, dunno why this song really suits you well I guess :'(

or that I'm just a fool

waiting for nothing, in vain

too much expectation

but that wont stop me trying

this time, I only rely on you ya Rabb

Fix You

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

It, really, is a blurred night. Thank you blogger, for being such a sweet escape. Well yeah, just unimportant post, but it could make both edges of my mouth rise, thank you. Here it is, 'black and white' may become, what should I say, hmm objectification of my mood today. Bold and silent. Or? Perhaps in between, blurred like grey. For I am now, hate myself for being such a fool placed my position in this gloomy grey area. 

SORE - Essensimo

My fave

you say going under
not too clever in these days where life surrounds us
you fret to surrender
to a lesser pacifying soul invader
everybody stays in one place
it takes to know one
avoid the wrong ones
serene for the life to convey
it breaks to hold one
if one desires to 've sold the fire whole

save it and crave it..
it fortifies the one desire
to hack it and to savor it to elope
save it crave it it fortifies the one desire
and have it well damn it
it glorifies the one desire
to live in one delusion to elope

Let's Sing!

Nothing could make me more delightful than going to a local music event. This is where myself to be. Realease myself from the so-so routinity. I love the time when I could sing loudly and no one would care of my bad voice. I love it when the beat of drum made my heart beats faster. I love it when I could sing with many strangers there. Such a good distraction from a mountain of assignments which await at home. And I'm so thankful for having such a good companion to accompany me to go there. Ian. Here we are at Langit Musik birthday party in Epicentrum.









Me and Ian both love and support local indie bands, especially Efek Rumah Kaca. We started admiring them since the first time I entered college. ERK has a very ideological lyric. They see things in different ways and then pour it into a song. They prefer to choose their song's theme in politic and humanity besides other mainstream bands which tend to always talk about love, love, and love. Here they are, Adrian, Akbar, and Cholil.



This week, we have watched ERK performance two times. First, we went to a friend's college, UNSADA, to watch them and second, to an event from Speedy. Here is the documentation.


at UNSADA


Yeaaah, with the vocalist, Cholil Mahmud!


Speedy's event at Balai Kartini


oh Cholil, I'm a fan!

behind us, Seringai was performing








and this is my favourite of all, Akbaaar!

How lovely I met Akbar ERK when we wanted to pray Maghrib. We had some chit-chat, intruduced each others, and had a chance to pray Maghrib together. What a wonderful time! I will never forget it for sure! :D He's very kindhearted and handsome of course. Don't you know that he's Indra Bekti's brother? Thing I learned at that time is, It feels very different when Akbar is on the stage, we both different in case of a fan and a star. But then I realized, we are all equal in front of our Lord, Allah SWT. Only faith and good deeds which distinguish us. I noticed it when we both had a time to pray Maghrib together.

Our Song

Now I knew what kind of song should be played on my wedding day. And It's a must! It is Konservatif by The Adams. Our song :)

Music

I bet everybody likes music as I do. See how's the self-image of each person by guessing and judging his/her music they like. Kinda prestige for some people. And very powerful. Yet for me, it's current pictures of myself. Reflection of my gloominess, my roaring laughter, even at my vanity. Carnival by Adhitia Sofyan. I don't know where I should put this song into any of them I've mentioned before. I just know by far, that this song, umm..

Carnival - Adhitia Sofyan

I do remember your name

We met at the carnival

You said till we meet again

I guess here we are now

You said till we meet again

I guess here we are now

And I don’t even see

Why we can’t stay a while

No we should not be afraid

Of going through the silly things

It might just uncover a path

To a similarity

No I don’t even see

Why we can’t stay this time

Till grass on the hills getting longer

They’re waving at us to be seen

That face on the moon’s getting brighter

But he’s going down anytime

Nobody knows what’s tomorrow

It might brings us to our last

Do you remember the time

When they were the simple things

Where I just looked in to your eyes

Then we’ll be connected

Still I don’t even see

Why we can’t stay this time

So let me remember the shape of the evening

Cause when the day’s over who knows when I’ll see you again

I do remember your name

We stayed at the carnival this time

Well, it's been a hard time for me. And still. Cause no one knows how wide a woman's heart is..



much love,
Niken

Two Is Better Than One

I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought
"Hey, you know, this could be something"
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing

So maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one

I remember every look upon your face
The way you roll your eyes
The way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's okay
I'm finally now believing

That maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one

I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought, "Hey,"

Maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking
I can't live without you
'Cause, baby, two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
But I'll figure it out
When all is said and done
Two is better than one
Two is better than one











a trip to Ancol


a birthday present


Dont know what to write. Dont know what to share. As I heard this song, an idea came into my head. Try to flow out what was in my head. And it's you. Such a silly posting. I Love You. Always have. Always will.
