piano, they have an antique piano, feel free to play it!

FRIDAY 17th April 2009

since my VERY last post...many things gud and bad happened this April. Conclusion...I hate April! :(
buttttt.........I will review my CATS performance last 19th April with my sis! yey!my sis came on Fridays night, early morning actually, so we decided to wait her in Esplanade again, for watching the FREE performance like usual. that was Endah and Rhesa from INDONESIA!!!!!!!!!! yipiiipipiii!!!:D they were so talented and we bought their CD for 15 SGD and also embarrassed myself with asking them for signature...what the teenage! hahaha...
after that we were having dinner with friends in Makan Sutra until midnight. and headed to the airport...
and was so happy cause she brought a lot of goodies from mom! ;)

SATURDAY, 18th April 2009

we wake up early and 3 of us headed go bring my sista around this small Singapore! 1st destination is Arab Street where a lot of Malaysian stall here. the buildings is mostly shop houses 2 storey with different colour each shop. the shops mostly a kind of boutique, and have beautiful mosque called Sultan Mosque, have a good Malay restaurant such as Kampung Glam. Located near Bugis area, you only need walk around 15 minutes. unfortunately we were to early, so almost all shops still closed. so just taking few pics then decided to go to Bugis Street.

Bugis Street is the largest Market Place in Singapore, which sells every things in cheaper price. not too crowded actually but nothing much too see. so ended with bought watch necklace for 5 SGD only.
After feeling tooooooo stress because too hot that day, then we decided go to Vivo City. went to visit National Geographic Store. one of unique store i have ever visit. combined of gallery, and shop.
having lunch in Food Republic and decided to bring my sis to Sentosa. and still the weather VERY DAMN HOT!!!!! so we just took Sky Train from Vivo City, 2 SGD for return and taking pics in some areas and ride the shuttle bus 2 times just to see around that small Sentosa. then we decided to try the new game called SKYWAGED, like otoped, using solar energy. for 10 SGD each person for fun ride.
after feeling SO HOT! we decided to back at Vivo City and shopped a while at Forever 21 bought new dress for watching CATS on the next day.
and after sooooo tired we decided to directly had dinner at SUSHI 99 CENTS in Cathay. so here all the sushi only 1 dollars. is very cheap and delicious off course. :D
and then the journey not stopped, we still try to bring my sis around Singapore. we took bus to Orchad Road and again walked around there over and over again. and it was just 8pm.
and then again OMG.... we decided to go to Clark Quay...my foot almost broke. T.T. that is a place where all cafe and restaurants near the Singapore River. very good place to walk in the night, because each cafe in the shop houses have different theme each.
and then we are back home....what a day...

SUNDAY,19th April 2009

HERE COME THE SHOW!!! YIPYIIIIEE!!! :) Get dressed, having breakfast with my mom goodies, headed to City Hall. just hanging around about 30 minutes in Starbucks, where always be our fave place, and went to Esplanade...we got seat in very back and need to look down for almost 3 hours. actually the performances was interesting but why suddenly i got sleepy...T.T...hahahha i didn't catch up the stories also... i think next time better chose more expensive tickets rather than usual tickets for better look.
after that we just see again FREE outdoor performance in Esplanade...still Endah and Rhesa but have Bonita! I like Bonita better. she is daughter of Koes Hendratmo, one of famous MC and singer in Indonesia. :) really enjoy the night...

Antonio Blanco Museum, Ubud, Bali

okay. suddenly i want to write? why? don't ask too much please...=)
i just got photos tagged from my best friend in Bali. remembering me that we went to Ubud, Bali last December.

only 3 of us, ride motorcycle to Ubud. never in my life, felt so tired just sitting in motorcycle and almost hit by a car. SH*T. even though it wasn't traffic jam at all, but it felt so long to arrive there. i just tried to enjoy every view that I see. tried to memorize everything i see cause i wont find those beautifully God's work in land here.. so natural and love the smells of rain...feels like mint mixed with honey..hihihi

took about an hour to arrived in Ubud. first we dropped by in Celuk, one of small village before Ubud. this place VERY FAMOUS with its SILVERY ARTWORKS. you can find everything from jewelry until statues from pure silver. bought this cute baby bracelet..hihihi for 100 Rp. they have different price for local tourist and foreigner. so make sure you go with locals cause they will give you normal price if not you will get abnormal price...
you can find a lot of stores near the road, but it was a little bit rainy so we just decided to visit 2 storey only. after that we continued to go to UBUD. actually we dont have any special place to go. in Ubud you can find, Bali Bird Park and Bali Zoo i think. also you can watch traditional Bali dances like Kecak in Batu Bulan. Batu Bulan also famous with its artworks like statue and partings. *Bali very famous with its artwork*.

the raining became harder, so we decided to stop by in Antonio Blaco Museum.

OFF COURSE anyone of you know about HIM rite? hah? dont know?..huh how come..okay get little review about him...

he is a famous Spanish-American blood artist, borned in Philippines in 1912. Before he was worked in California, and then interested to visit Asia Pacific, then he arrived in Bali and fell in love with local called Nyi Ronji. he then felling in love with beautiful Bali and put every his desire and passion to his paintings. he built his own gallery and museum in Renaissance style. people talk about Antonio Blanco wont be able be separated with women. his object of painting.he is one of feminist artist in the world. all of his paintings is about women, passion, desires, and love. you can see all his painting so passionate. :D *but for you are guys under 17th better not go to this place* hihihi.

mostly his painting are his wife, Nyi Ronji *half naked* who is famous Bali dancer and often dances for King. and some paintings are his relatives or women he's seen. he admires women and her body. and DUDE i DO totally heart HIM! i never see his painting like a porn but more to Women Art. and i do love his works! :D Even Michael Jackson has visited his museum once. :D his gallery and museum was unique. the entrance of the building, they said is metaphor from his autograph. it is surrounded by garden with water feature in the middle. a lot of animals like chicken and bird there. it is a traditional type of Bali Houses, have few houses in one area. so he has about many houses also, museum, gallery, his house and i think his family member's house there also.
the museum is 3 storeys with roof deck. you need to pay 30 Rp or 4 SGD for entrances fee and they will give you a welcome drink. all the staff are his relatives, in the other hand are his grandchildren, and nephews, nieces.
we got tour guide *actually we followed previous group and pretend as a member of the group*, she is his grand daughter. she explained every single painting in the museum. the paintings are around 50 nos? not sure, but all of them have different funny story. his painting is not just like ordinary oil painting, but sometimes he combined with piece of paper like col lase. he also made his own frame that also have related story with the painting.. check this out..

she also brought us to the roof deck so we can see Ubud farmery view..COOL! ^^v too bad it was raining again so we decided to back inside.
besides his museum, there is also his art gallery and place where he usually works. oyah, have also his son's gallery, Mario Blanco who is also an artist but different style. if Antonio loves women, i think mario love veggie? hahahaha kidding, he is more impressionist style. so he likes paint like veggie *that why i said he loves veggies*, fruit, etc. one of his durian painting WITH durian frame, won MURI Record for MOST UNIQUE PAINTING FRAME. hihihi. but definitely i prefer Antonio's.hahaha i like seductive art..XP

check his website :D
