Top Five Most Inspirational People

Woody Allen.
His sarcastic jokes, his skeptical views, his movies, etc etc. Oh God, he’s my numero uno!

Jens Lekman
His songs inspired me in many ways. Reading his blogs, has successfully made me want to write even more. Because life is the opposite of Hallelujah, it’s the opposite of being you.

Nick Hornby
High Fidelity! About A Boy! How to be Good! Juliet Naked! He’s my favorite author. His knowledge in music and the way he writes, it just made me get highly addicted to him. Oh well, not him literally, but his works.

Larry David
He used to be a paralegal. Then, he did it.

Anna Wintour
Enough said. She never let anyone stay in her way.

December

Time flies.

It feels like yesterday, when I listened to Let it die by Feist on the New Year’s Eve.
And yes, without any consent from me, time flies.

I thought I’m gonna leave Malaysia for good, but here I am working here as Paralegal, a job I never thought about it before.

2011 is a year to remember.

I failed in many ways, I was lost and but now I found my way back.

I met some guys, I made new friends, I got robbed, I lost my ipod, my favorite bag, monopoly deal and so forth.

I spent three months in Singapore to learn that there’s no perfect life. The life I want, there is no shortcut.


I cant wait for 2012.
On my list so far;
India (16-26 February)
Laos (21-24 June)

The grass is greener on the other side

Whatever it is, don’t get jealous with other people’s life.

Please, promise me.

The grass looks greener on the other side and it will always be like that.

Do you like to watch How I Met Your Mother?

Do you remember one episode when everybody’s smiling on the picture?

Do you remember what was actually going on?

Yes, Marshall and Lily were having a complicated relationship. Ted’s parents were divorced but Ted’s mother has the tendency to share good news only, hence she hasn’t told Ted about that matter. Barney was competing with Robin and etc etc..

The grass looks greener on the other side; everybody’s smiling on the picture.

You don’t need to be jealous, because you don’t know what is actually going on.

Be thankful, whatever it is be thankful.

One of my favorite quotes from No one belongs here more than you by Miranda July;

“Look at the sky: that is for you. Look at each person's face as you pass on the street: those faces are for you. And the street itself, and the ground under the street, and the ball of fire underneath the ground: all these things are for you. There are as much for you as they are for other people. Remember this when you wake up in the morning and think you have nothing.”

Cherish whatever you have right now, promise?

Just Kids

I spent my lunch hour drowning to the poetic words of Patti Smith.
I’d like to thank you, dear Kiddo, for giving me this book.
You told me, you gave me this book because you want me to remember you.

I was ignoring your words,
but today, I’d like to admit that I will remember you.

What we have right now won’t last forever.
I enjoy every moment with you,
it’s just too beautiful to live for a moment.

In the next five years or maybe ten years,
We’re gonna meet again and I will tell you that you and the book had successfully turned me to be melancholy.
I will tell you about the unspeakable charm you have.

I bid you goodbye since the beginning.
Kiddo, we’re just kids after all.



Yours truly,

Chika

blah

L,

I don’t wanna hear your complain.

Here I am, writing this letter to you, I just want to let you know that you and I are totally different type of travelers.

I want to travel because I want to see people, their cultures, foods, etc etc.

I don’t care if I need to stay in the place that you think it’s just too fugly for your standard.

Let me tell you something, if you want to stay in the five stars hotel go ahead, but you don’t really need to go to travel actually. What is the different between five stars hotel in Jakarta and in Bangkok? Do you get what I mean?

If Hong Kong people are rude or Chinese are impolite, I don’t care.

I want to know them.

I want to enjoy the unusual stuffs.

They don’t need to impress me, I go traveling not to be impressed, but to feel the differences.

I will accept all the good and the bad part of that particular country.

If you want to be impressed or if you want to receive the same treats like you have in your home, then don’t go out. Stay home or just go to the nearest mall.

I want to travel not for the sake because I can take a picture under Eiffel Tower or pretend to understand the meaning of Mona Lisa in Louvre; I want to travel because I want to see all those things that I can’t get in my country.

I want to enjoy every little thing they can offer to me.

So L, you better stay home or go to the mall.

And I,

I will travel the world, I will open my mind.

And you, who are having the same thoughts with me,

Let’s cheers for the joy the world can offer to us.

Because we’re not empty, we’re not empty, so come runaway with me now babyyyy.

=)

A little lost

This year I’ve messed everything up.
I tried to arrange my life properly, but I’m failed.
Shit happens,
But it happens continuously.

I hate plans.
I have given up planning.
I might gonna stuck with this job for a while,
but I don’t care.
You,
You’re having the same uncertainties with me.
You,
You’re not really sure on which path you have to go trough.
But,
You, you’re not brave enough to take unconventional chances.
You,
You like to control, you like everything in order; you like to meet the expectations that society has made for people in our ages.
You,
you are not sure, but because you’re on the right track; you think you know what you’re doing now.
In fact, you are not sure, just like me.

Why should I follow you?
Everything is relative, happiness is relative.

You can get a foot massage and feel happy, you can get $10,000 and feel sad.

if you cant put yourselves in my shoes,
I guess you’d better just leave me alone.

Don’t judge, I need a support.
Oh wait, I don’t need a support,
I just want someone to listen to me.
Don’t judge, I don’t need any support, but just listen and see how it goes.

I will make the most impulsive random decision I can make and see how it goes.
“Once you’ve lost everything that you are free to do anything”

Live the dream, Potato

My life seems like a rollercoaster lately.
Everything seems to go to different directions;
uncontrollable, exciting yet tiring.

I lost and gained both material and immaterial things.
I cried for one night,
laughed for another night.
I started to flirt with destiny,
I gave my sweetest smile to the strangers,
I frowned to my friends,
I cherished life then made fun of my own life.

I tried to turn the tragedy of my life into funny stories, because I would not take anything seriously anymore.

I dont give a damn about others,
I dont give a damn that I might going to regret this one day.

I dont have career, I will live a good life according to my instinct.

(who needs career, thats so mainstream (Emir, 2011)).

2012, I am going to explore the highest dream in the highest point.

"Things usually make sense in time, and even bad decisions have their own kind of correctness"
Miranda July


Until then,

Cheerio!
