HAPPY HALLO-WEEN!

Today is October 31th, it means today is Halloween Day!
Woo-hoo, Trick or Treat? (oops, we don't do it in Indonesia ):
So where do u celebrate Halloween this year? So bad, im not going to celebrate it anyway.
I heard there is Haunted House in Jakarta, La Piazza. I think I'm not brave enough to try it. Too scary!
Don't know why, I don't feel afraid when I watch Horror movies. But I'm really scared to go in haunted house, or any scary ride.

Take a look on those picture (took it from Google.com)



Cute Halloween Chocolates!


I wonder if there any shops sell this in indonesia.



OMGG! This really cool, maybe for Sweet 17th party? LOL


Classic Car Exhibition

 About one week ago me and my family went to classic car exhibition.
Those cars are so damn cool! I really love the one which has Hello Kitty design on it.
Take a look!

Back From Hibernation !

Hell Yeah!
My midterm test finished 2 days ago! So that means I can sleep with much time than before. Yeah, week ago I slept only about 5 hours because i've to sleep late and wake up early to study. I hope my rank won't be worse than before. I got 2nd rank on my first midterm test. But i think it won't be the same, bcos I didn't do well on my second midterm test. Yeah, some subjects were too hard. *Sorry for bad grammar*

Today my post is about my mom's bday even it's too late :P
My mom's birthday is on October 4th.. And this is me and my sister present to my mom!
I bought this from Oriflame, luckily one of my classmate is an Oriflame seller so i don't have to go anywhere to buy things. :D

I chose The Babes Perfume and Lotion for Dry-hands.
Yeah, my mom has really sensitive hands so i chose to buy the lotion, and my mom said it's really useful. Thanks GOD! :)

The Babes Perfume is a perfume with cute Japan dolls for the bottle. Oriflame sells The Babes Perfume series with 3 options for the flavour. I chose the Peach Flavour for the perfume because i think my mom will like it :)
The pack of the perfume is reallyy cute! And they gave the stickers for decorating the bottle too.
The dolls looks like this, they give a plain doll so we can decorate it ourself : (i took this from google)








Sorry for bad picture, because I'm not using SLR, i use my Sony Ericsson X1 camera.

GBye :)

Infinitely Yours - Orizuka

Hi guys.
Today's post is about a novel which I finish read about 2 weeks ago.
The title is "Infinitely Yours" and the author is Orizuka.
I really love the story!
Here's the synopsis from goodreads (In Indonesian Language) :


Orang bilang, pertemuan pertama selalu kebetulan. Tapi, bagaimana caramu menjelaskan pertemuan-pertemuan kita selanjutnya? Apakah Tuhan campur tangan di dalamnya?

Kita bukanlah dua garis yang tak sengaja bertabrakan. Sekeras apa pun usaha kita berdua, saling menjauhkan diri—dan menjauhkan hati—pada akhirnya akan bertemu kembali.

Kau tak percaya takdir, aku pun tidak. Karenanya, hanya ada satu cara untuk membuktikannya....

Kau, aku, dan perjalanan ini.



I rated this book as 5 stars! Really recommended to KPop Fans but I like it too even I'm not KPoppers. :D
Happy Reading!


Infinitely Yours Book's Cover


Anyway, since I will have a midterm test , I think I won't be able to post everyday like before. Maybe my new post will be about 1 or 2 weeks to go.
GBye!

Simply Black

Hi friends, this is my first posting about my fashion style.
Yeah i'm not really good at mix-match clothes, but I always try to match my outfit.
Actually i used this clothes at my friend's sweet 17th. I'm not a blackholics, but I don't have a lot of dress which is same as the dress code. So I used this :

I wore Carla's Tanktop and Gowigasa Skirt.. The ruffles detail is so cute :D
The shoes I bought from one onlineshop on Facebook. It is so comfy.




Big thanks to my sister who captured it with her Canon 550D and my mom who did the makeup :D

Remembering Steve Jobs

6 Oct 2011, there was a big news, and it was a bad news :(
Steve Jobs died. Maybe some of you don't realize who is he. At first I don't realize it, too.
His real name is Steven Paul , and usually he's called 'Steve' Jobs.  He was co-founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Apple Inc. Jobs also previously served as chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios.
He became a member of the board of directors of The Walt Disney Company in 2006, following the acquisition of Pixar by Disney. He was credited in Toy Story (1995) as an executive producer
He's the founder of Apple computer, neXT Computer, etc. 

Jobs later claimed that being fired from Apple was the best thing that could happen to him; "The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

This is a statement on Job's death, which i found from Wikipedia :

Excerpts from President Barack Obama's statement:
Steve was among the greatest of American innovators — brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it. By building one of the planet’s most successful companies from his garage, he exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity. By making computers personal and putting the internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible, but intuitive and fun. And by turning his talents to storytelling, he has brought joy to millions of children and grownups alike. Steve was fond of saying that he lived every day like it was his last. Because he did, he transformed our lives, redefined entire industries, and achieved one of the rarest feats in human history: he changed the way each of us sees the world.

Maybe without him we won't have gadget like iPhone etc? We must be thankful to him. :)

Apple,inc. products :





Sorry about a lot of mistakes in grammar. I'm not really good at English. =_=

Happy Batik Day

Sorry for late posting. I've been really busy lately. It's because i'm joining an orchestra for Christmas Concert. It was quite a long time, but we need to exercise every week because the orchestra will accompany choir. So we will need extra exercise. My posting will be about Batik Day, although it is very late. Sorry !

2 October 2011 Indonesia celebrated Batik Day.
I'm really proud of Indonesian's Culture. Even there's a lot of foreign people who loves Batik. And there's many fashion designer from America who can design an unique Batik design. We must be proud of it guys!
I've been googling and found a lot of Batik design. Look at this guys!

For special occasions, batik was formerly decorated with gold leaf or dust. This cloth is known as prada (a Javanese word for gold) cloth. Gold decorated cloth is still made today; however, gold paint has replaced gold dust and leaf.

That's all guys. Indonesia's Culture is cool, doesn't it? :D

Musical Journey

Hi all.
I want to share my story about music. I really love playing music, especially violin. I can play violin,piano and guitar. I started playing violin when i was about 9 years old, and now I'm 16 years old.It means i have been playing violin for about 7 years. But, I don't play really well either. Maybe I'm not old enough for playing with passion and something like that. You know, it's really hard for me to play with my feeling, i don't know why.
And then yesterday, I had an exam , usually it's called ABRSM. It has 8 grade, and now im on 7th grade. (If i passed) Yeah, just hope i will pass it because i feel so nervous and didn't play really well.

Anyway, i'm newbie in playing piano and guitar. I started playing piano about 1 year ago, but with a lot of absence. And, about 2 months ago, I started to take guitar lesson with one of my bestfriends. I really love it!
I hope i can play everything better in the future.


This is some photos of my latest concert in CCF, Bandung
I played 3 classical songs :
1. German Dance
2. Souvenir de Sarasate - Potstock
3. Spring Sonata 1st Movement - Beethoven


i want to upload more than one, but my internet connection is so damn slowly!

tee-hee. This is me when i was a child :O
I can only played pop songs that time. x)

I would like to meet violinist from all around the world! So just add me on facebook if you want to talk about violin. 
Thanks for reading!

Big Hello everyone!


This is my first post on my brand new blog! Actually I have made one blog before, but it has been so long time since i opened it. So, I just made the new one and I promise i will keep updating this :) Hope this blog will be more interesting than before.
The last blog I made is all about movies I love. In this blog, I think i will post a lot of things like fashion, music, movies, and everything i keen on. The meaning of "Simplification Minds" in Indonesian is Penyederhanaan Pikiran. Sounds strange, maybe, but i will use it anyway :P
hmm, that's all i think.
I will update the next post !
Btw, follow me on twitter , add me on  facebook
Thankyou! 




GBye,
