EARTH DAY!!!

this afternoon we spent up accidentally with watched movie just only for 6 SGD! in NEW ILUMA mall in Bugis by.....off course WOHA!!!!!

another new launch project from WOHA, and another mall in Singapore! the building is like molusca, said my friend :). the mall is not full completed yet, still have construction inside it, but some stores has opened, and also the cinema. that's why they have promotion for cheap watch movie all day! :) then we decided to watched The Confession of Shopaholic.it was okay movie not that great but enjoyable enough. :) it actually just about a shopaholic girl who was being looked after a debt collector.. that's all....


then after that we spent an hour in National Library, designed by Ken Yang since it is only few steps from it. I feel so sleepy although library was a little bit crowded yesterday. here library very different with library in Indonesia. people are being used to read, so a lot of people come to here not only for reading but also for hang out or play net.
yesterday also was an earth day sodara sodara! spent up again in Esplanade waterfront to watch sky scrapers in Singapore turned off the light including may bank tower and Fullerton hotel.. yep. since my bf said in Bali they have their energy saving already for Nyepi day! hihiihi. and he is so proud of it.

and also having nice performance from Rima Rasif! 2 thumbs up for her! so such enjoyable performances, and meeting up with my college friends :)

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
www.blancobali.co.id/



Visit his Museum if you visit Ubud, Bali :D

Shop Shop Till You Drop!!!! Part 1

okay wondering why i have time to write so much. it's all because i have 2.5 hours to kill. have things to do but my brain seems lost. too tired of yesterday.

just go and review places here in Singapore. hmmhmm almost 2 years here, i almost gone everywhere. not everywhere actually but ALMOST, since its so small country..

shopping mall? oh yes man, Singapore very famous with its shopping mall. rich people in Indonesia always have opinion that shop branded stuff here are very cheap, just say Gucci, Prada, etc. i don't know how come they call it cheap. it will cost almost 1000 SGD for 1 tote bag? huh but again here in Singapore you can find shopping mall in every step. near your home, office, everywhere. yeah since Singaporean really highly consumptive person so almost single tip in shopping mall *laris manis*. even if i review all maybe is wont be enough for 10 chapter! :D hahaha so you guys like to shop, Singapore is the best place.but for me Bandung is still number 1 heaven of shop :D hihihi

Going to review shopping centre in my office area!

1.Raffles City
located in City Hall MRT, not that big, don't have food court?!. valuable store: Topshop,Esprit, Dorothy Perkins, Warehouse, River Island, and some others branded store. they have also supermarket in basement and some F&B. It isn't my favorite place to JUST walking around, unless see Topshop off course.:D


2.City Link Mall
off course located in City HAll MRT. connect Raffles City and Marina Square. not that big but you can find some good store here such as HMV, Charles and Keith,SakaeSushi,Hynosis,G2000,Times,Giordano.Bysi.Hula&co,Bodyshop. i walk here EVERYDAY! so i knew every single corner of it. actually it is very entertaining while you have to go to Marina Square, but like i said, they will seduce your eyes with good stuff. and then you realise your pocket has dried..:(

3.Marina Square
it is not that big, but almost everything you can find there but not much with branded stuff except for Topshop,Mango, and Charles and Keith. good for shop, have a lot of small reachable store. the cinema Golden Village, and Superbowl. big food court with Esplanade and Singapore city line view. the clothes are cute, they have big atrium which always have diiferent occasion every week. actually the layout a little bit confusing, they have alot of corner which will make you surprise that you find store in little corner. Marina Square is one of the oldest mall in Singapore.oyah in food loft you can find delicious Ayam Penyet here! :D


4.Millenia Walk
this shopping mall linked to Marina Square. not big and mostly they only have furniture and electronic. even for store they only have branded super branded store. the food court is linked to Marina Square and they have good Korean food and Nasi Padang. :D
5. Suntec City
this is a shopping mall and also a convention centre. suntec is very HUGE. usually Body Shop big sale is here!!! :D and also IT show and others branded stuff sales held here. the shopping mall is very HUGE HUGE! the layout very confusing also, for me its a kind of trap. here you can find from unbranded shop till branded. Overall its quite good to shop here. they have Carefour also. but i rarely shop here cause its too big and too confusing..:D hehehehe. oyah here you can find the Biggest Fountain in the World? not quite sure about that. it called Wealth Fountain.
yeah it is big, and some people trust if you walk around n the middle of fountain 3 times? or 5 times? *dun know* it will bring you luck. they said the position of the fountain surrounded by 5 towers brings the luck... maybe you wanna try??? :D

Deep Condolence for Him

Deep of my condolence for David Hartanto who is my high schoolmate's brother..., Weha........hope the truth will revealed and if not lets give everything to HIM.



well got this email from my schoolmate also,check this out


"Jumat, Maret 06, 2009David Hartanto Widjaja Tidak Bersalah!Hari ini (5/3-09) saya dan temen2 SD/SMP yang seangkatan sama DavidHartanto (Ming2) kita sama2 main kerumah keluarga Hartanto, sekedar untukmenyampaikan bela sungkawa, serta mencari kebenaran yang sesungguhnyakarena kami tahu kalau David tidak akan melakukan hal-hal yang sepertidiberitakan oleh media. Disana kami disambut oleh kakak David, danorangtuanya, kebetulan kami datang bersamaan dengan keluarga besarHartanto, jadi kami lebih banyak mengobrol dengan kakak David, yaituWillian Hartanto, atau dulu dikenal teman2 seangkatannya dengan panggilanWeha.

Semakin lama mendalami kasus ini, makin banyak keanehan yang terbuka, danuntuk adanya pemberitaan yang mulai menunjukkan kebenaran, kami berterimakasih untuk rekan David di NTU yaitu edwin, kami tahu dia mempertaruhkangelar sarjananya demi mengungkap kebenaran, karena itu kami juga maumembantu menyebarkan kabar yang sesungguhnya -walaupun terus ditutupi dandihalangi oleh pihak NTU-
Kejanggalan-kejanggalan yang ada:


1. Munculnya berita bahwa David menyerang Profesor Chan Kap Luk, lalu bunuhdiri, padahal tidak ada bekas sayatan di pergelangan tangan seperti yangdiberitakan, lalu darimana muncul berita tersebut? Untuk apa dimunculkanberita palsu bahwa David menyayat pergelangan tangannya?

2. Saat keluarga tiba disana senin malam setelah kejadian, keluarga inginlangsung melihat jenazah David, namun dihalangi oleh pihak2 tertentu,dengan alasan sudah peraturan, tentu saja keluarga harus menurut, apalagisaat itu keluarga masih syok. Lalu saat diizinkan melihat kondisi jenazahkeesokan harinya, keluarga hanya diizinkan untuk melihat jenazah bagianleher ke atas, sedangkan bagian tubuh yang lain telah ditutupi plastik.Keluarga Hartanto juga telah mengkonfirmasikan ke pihak polisi Singapura,tidak ada luka di bagian pergelangan tangan. Saat itu keluarga Hartantojuga melihat di bagian leher depan (daerah leher dibawah bahu) terdapatbanyak plesteran luka.
Pertanyaannya. Untuk apa keluarga Hartanto menunggu 1 hari untuk melihatjenazah keluarga kandung mereka sendiri? Mengapa jenazah harus ditutupioleh plastik? Apakah benar ada peraturan seperti itu? Atau hanya karanganpihak2 tertentu saja untuk menutupi kenyataan? Darimana asal luka di leher?Mengapa jenazah David terlihat berdarah cukup parah di bagian bokong?

3. Saat keluarga tiba di TKP senin malam, karena tidak diizinkan untukmelihat jenazah, keluarga datang ke NTU untuk melihat TKP, namun saatsampai, polisi tidak menemukan satupun bekas darah ataupun police line.Hebat bukan? Hanya dalam waktu sekitar 7 jam sejak waktu kejadian, TKPtelah bersih total, adakah alasan untuk buru2 membersihkan TKP?

4. Lalu keluarga datang melihat kamar David, dan apa yang ditemukan?Ternyata semua peralatan komputer yang ada di kamar itu semua MENYALA.Apakah seorang yang mau bunuh diri akan menyalakan semua peralatankomputernya? Bahkan menurut kesaksian seorang teman, account MSN Davidmasih menyala. Apakah hal ini terlihat seperti David mau mengakhirihidupnya? Bahkan dia masih bermain game online sampai jam 2 pagi di harikejadian bersama teman yang tadi menjenguk keluarga David.

5. Pada ruangan profesor tertinggal tas David yang biasa dia bawa, dantebak apa yang dia bawa dalam
tasnya? Sebuah handuk dan botol air mineral1,5 L. (Semua yang mengenal Ming2 pasti tahu, dikelas, sejak SD, Ming2selalu membawa handuk, bahkan kadang dikalungkan di leher saat berada dikelas, dia juga selalu membawa air minum yang banyak karena mamanya selaluberpesan untuk banyak mengkonsumsi air). Apakah seorang yang mau membunuh,lalu bunuh diri, akan membawa barang seperti itu? Akan jauh lebih mudahuntuk membawa sebilah pisau yang besar (lebih besar dari pisau berukuran10cm yang muncul di TKP, yang entah milik siapa). Keluarga dihalang-halangi saat hendak bertemu dengan Profesor Chan KapLuk, dengan alasan, saat itu dia sedang di ICU, dan kenyataannya? Hari rabusang Profesor telah keluar dari rumah sakit. Apakah ada catatan seorangyang menderita luka tusukan parah yang harus masuk ICU, dapat keluar darirumah sakit dalam tidak sampai 2 hari? Benarkan sang Profesor terluka? Atauhanya membaca koran sambil bersantai di ICU?

7. Saat keluarga ingin bertemu dengan "saksi mata" yang melihat Davidmelompat dari lantai 4, pihak NTU menghalangi dengan alasan hal itu harusdirahasiakan. Oke, kalau begitu, darimana kita tahu kalau benar2 ada orangyang melihat kalau David benar2 melompat, bukannya terjatuh ataupundijatuhkan orang?

8. Data tentang David dan FYP (Final Year Project) nya telah dihapus daridatabase NTU. Hanya dalam 2 hari, NTU langsung menghapus data topik FYPyang sedang David kerjakan, adakah alasan khusus dibalik keterburu-buruanpihak NTU untuk menghapus data tersebut? Tidakkah ada rasa ingin mengenangsalah satu mahasiswa berprestasinya, alih-alih langsung menghapus data,seakan David tidak pernah kuliah disana?

9. Polisi Singapura menahan Laptop milik David dan akan dikembalikansetelah penyelidikan selesai. Untuk apa?

10. Pisau yang ada di TKP, dilaporkan berasal dari hall 4, itu hasilinvestigasi? Atau hanya karangan?Seorang teman di NTU berkata bahwabiasanya seorang dosen memiliki pisau kecil di ruangannya yang biasadigunakan untuk memotong buah. Jadi? Itu pisau milik David Hartanto atauChan Kap Luk?

11. Waktu kejadian adalah sekitar jam 10.45 waktu Singapura hari Senin,apakah tidak terdengar aneh jika hanya sedikit sekali mahasiswa yang adadan menyaksikan kejadian? Adakah tekanan dari pihak NTU untuk tutup mulut?

12. Senjata yang ditemukan -pisau buah 10cm- ditemukan tanpa gagang,dimanakah gagangnya? Mengapa tidak dilakukan analisa sidik jari? Jelastidak mungkin menusuk seseorang tanpa menggunakan gagang pisau, jadi entahsiapapun yang menusuk siapa, pasti ada gagangnya, namun pemberitaannyabelum jelas.

Pemberitaan miring yang disebutkan media pun tidak berdasar, dan hanyamengikuti spekulasi yang dikarang pihak NTU, berikut klarifikasinya:

1. David berniat membunuh Profesornya lalu bunuh diri meloncat. Di dalamruangan tersebut hanya ada David dan Profesor, David telah tiada, dankesaksian yang bisa didengarkan hanyalah dari Profesor, darimana kita tahukalau kesaksian tersebut benar? Tanpa bukti2 yang cukup, kesaksian Profesortersebut tidak bisa dijadikan alasan untuk menyalahkan David.

2. David dikatakan stress karena beasiswanya dicabut, bahkan dia salahsasaran, yaitu mengamuk ke dosen pembimbingnya. Tidakkah hal itu terdengansangat aneh? David sangat tahu dengan jelas bahwa beasiswanya diberhentikankarena prestasinya menurun, bukan salah Profesor itu. Pihak keluarga telahdiberitahu sejak hari pertama diberitahukan bahwa beasiswanyadiberhentikan, dan pihak keluarga menerima, dan mampu untuk membayarnya,David juga bersikap biasa2 saja tentang pemberhentian beasiswanya. Bagiyang mengenal dia, tentu tahu bahwa dia orang yang sangat cuek, hal inijuga dapat dilihat dari post edwin.

3. Dikatakan pula, bahwa David depresi karena tidak mampu menyelesaikanFYPnya. Seorang rekan David disana menyatakan bahwa FYP David hampirselesai. Dia tidak pulang ke Indonesia pada akhir semester lalu, karenaingin berkonsentrasi menyelesaikan FYPnya. Bagi yang mengenal David,apalagi kami teman sekolahnya, tentu tahu, David sejak dulu memangketagihan game, tapi 1 hal, dia selalu mengerjakan tugas dan PRnya denganbaik, tanpa bantuan orang lain apalagi menyalin hasil pekerjaan orang lain.Jadi, jika dikatakan dia menyerang dosen pembimbingnya karena FYPnya tidakselesai, hal itu benar2 tidak masuk diakal.

4. David diberitakan pula menghilang dari pergaulan selama kurang lebih 1minggu sebelum kejadian, namun keluarga David tahu yang sebenarnya, Davidsedang berkonsentrasi untuk menyelesaikan FYPnya, jadi pernyataan bahwaDavid menghilang dari pergaulan karena sedang depresi dan ingin membunuhitu sangat tidak valid, karena saat itu dia banyak chatting dengankakaknya, bahkan bermain game online bersama temannya di Indonesia.Terlihat seperti orang depresi yang mau membunuh dosennya? Tidak samasekali!

Saat ini fakta-fakta yang muncul setelah menyingkirkan pemberitaan mediaadalah:1. David meninggal jatuh dari lantai 4, tanpa luka sayatan di pergelangantangan, dan dengan luka di bagian leher, serta bagian bokong berlumurandarah.2. Sang Profesor keluar dari rumah sakit dalam 2 hari.3. Pisau tidak jelas berasal darimana, dan ditemukan tanpa gagang.4. Pihak universitas menutup-nutupi kejadian ini.
Spekulasi dan kemungkinan-kemungkinan

Apakah benar David menyerang profesor saat dia sedang membungkuk menghadapke layar komputer?
Jika itu benar, maka tidak mungkin saat ini profesortersebut telah pulang ke rumahnya dengan keadaan sehat wal afiat.

Apakah sang profesor tersebut yang justru menyerang David?Hal ini sangat mungkin, karena bukti dan fakta yang ada mengarah kekesimpulan tersebut. Lalu apa motifnya? Sampai saat ini, hanya Tuhan danProfesor Chan Kap Luk yang tahu.

Namun saat ini santer beredar kabar bahwa sang Profesor ingin merebut FYPmilik David. Hal ini didukung oleh kesaksian teman David yang mengatakanFYP David hampir selesai. Apakah mungkin seorang dosen dan Profesor dariuniversitas terkemuka di negara maju mau merebut FYP milik mahasiswanyasendiri?
Kenyataannya, hal itu sangat mungkin terjadi.

Seorang yang mendengar kabar tentang kematian David bercerita pada seorangteman-sebut saja A-, bahwa seorang profesor di NTU, di jurusan yangberbeda, memberikan nilai D pada FYP si A, lalu si profesor menawarkanuntuk membuat FYP baru, dan dia akan beri nilai B, dengan syarat FYP yangsebelumnya akan jadi hak milik si Profesor. Apakah terdengar aneh? Ya, siprofesor ingin merebut hak atas FYP milik si A dengan iming2 nilai.

Jadi hal ini sebenarnya bukan hal yang baru di NTU, hanya saja kali iniujungnya berakhir tragis bagi David karena dia tidak mau menyerahkan hakatas FYPnya. Sekali lagi, ini spekulasi, namun jauh lebih logis daripadapemberitaan media dan NTU.
Ming, saat ini lo udah gak ada, gak ada lagi yang bisa kita lakukan buatlo, selain pulihin nama baik lo, dan menyatakan kebenaran, lo istirahatyang tenang aja disana.
RIP, ming.

Guys, tahu gak sebenernya sekarang apa yang sedang keluarga Hartanto sedangcoba lawan? NTU, sebuah universitas terkenal milik pemerintah singapura!Untuk perbandingannya adalah ITB di Indo. Apa yang bisa dilakukansegelintir orang: keluarga Hartanto yang hanya tinggal bertiga, keluargabesarnya teman2 yang berjumlah puluhan sampai ratusan? apakah bisa melawanNTU? Bisa! Bagaimana caranya? Kita harus menyatakan kebenaran harusdiungkap sejelas2nya tanpa ada yang diubah2 atau ditutup2i. Saat ini, kitasebagai sesama pengguna internet, harap sebarkan kabar ini seluas-luasnya,agar banyak orang makin peduli tentang kasus ini dan investigasi akandilakukan lebih lanjut, setidaknya jangan sampai orang-orang berpikir bahwaDavidlah yang bersalah, karena itu jelas tidak benar.

Kabarkan ini keteman-teman, saudara, dan copylah tulisan saya ini diblog/forum/facebook/friendster anda, tidak akan saya tuntut untukcopyright. Terima Kasih.

well, all those opinion upthere lets just give it back to Him, cause He is the real judge of all..:)

Lets go for Picnic

Chinese Garden


we went here about last year? oh my Gosh time has been running so fast. that was lantern festival held in here Chinese Garden, in Chinese Garden MRT. right next to MRT station. i remembered that time, we planned to have picnic there. i already prepared all cute lunch box..heheheh...
with all my proud i represent this cute lunch boxes..hihihii
cute panda and burger :D. inspired by cute lunch boxes from Japan.
it was very easy to make but don't forget to use Sushi rice, it will construct the pandas better...
when we arrived there with all our guns, then this garden usually open for free, but due to Lantern Festival, we need to pay 15SGD per person and the festival will start at 6pm! o GOSH this just only 11 am!
but then we decided, because we have gone there and didn't want go for nothing. the garden was combination of Chinese and Japanese garden. have a big lake in the middle. all the garden are man made like in Chinese landscape architecture. we chose 1 pavilion near the lake, and had our lunch there. spent the rest of the day to wait until 6 pm with just walking around and taking pictures. they have a replica of Chinese temple and house, cute man made garden, bridge, waterfall. AGAIN ALL CLEAN and even the grass is neat enough so you can lay down there.
that day was very HOT, we almost have walked around the garden, and that day I remember i was terribly thirsty, but cannot find any drink machine, and the food stall hasn't open yet.
when it 6 pm, the festival started, they turn on all the light. the have a lot of lanterns of Hello Kitty and friends theme. i wondering why they chose that theme. so like you can see all the lanterns were hello kitty, or kerokeropi, reminds me my childhood.
the lanterns were a LOT and cute. some they put together made a KINGDOM OF KITTY *sounds scary*, some they put on the lake and river. a lot of merchandise and food stall there, off course selling traditional Chinese food. i insisted him to buy me this cutie doggie balloon, :D Does it cute! :D for 8SGD...
at 10 pm they have fireworks and barongsai. for the first time i saw the fireworks so near. a lot of family went there with their children. i thinks one of place in Singapore you can visit. even though not many attraction there but more to picnic activities or outing.

Free performance in Esplanade!


HEYAA...
yesterday was a lot fun but now I'm totally tired :(. went to ESPLANADE yesterday to watch FREE MOCCA performance in outdoor stage.
YEYEYEYEY so long never see Indonesian band, so even though I'm not that crazy of Mocca, somehow they performance entertain a lot. or am i missing my hometown?


ESPLANADE designed by Michael Wilford and DP arch, located in Marina bay VERY near to my office. this concert hall become one of Singapore landmark. they said it was metaphor from 2 mikes, but it more likely a durian. huehehe :D

Esplanade is very big, they have a library, store, restaurant, club, recital room, and of course theater. they have a lot of performance from around the world. but not every world singer performs here. they mostly performs in Kallang Indoor Stadium. maybe because the capacity there bigger than Esplanade. So usually Esplanade hold shows like ballet, musical performance like CATS, which i wish to see :(.this musical performances very well known, they tour around the world.
they provide everything about art. every week they have different of theme of occasion, different singers, different performances. this week they have Mozaic.



check this out www.esplanade.com

now they have built an outdoor stage with amphitheater which hold free outdoor performance every Friday to Sunday. i usually went here every Friday to enjoy that FREE performance.hihihi....*always sounds good when it's free*

yest, was Mocca,famous Indonesian band and Yuna, a talented Malaysian singer, and typewriter from Singapore. Mocca and Yuna performed 2 sets of songs were totally awesome. Especially Yuna, even though she looks a little bit nervous with that crowded audience, but DUDE her voice was amazing.

check her song here...
www.myspace.com/yunaroomrecords

she writes her own song and also a guitarist and off course a vocalist also. remind me alot of Avril Lavigne. and she got unique voice and plus her songs all *for me* easy listening. :D 2 thumbs up for her.
we bought her CD for 15SGD and so far i love it so much. :D now I'm playing her song over and over again. somehow this deeper conversation just spinning around my mind.

Esplanade become one of centre of all arts performances being hold. here also become tourist attraction, people just can sit in its garden or in its roof garden to watch Singapore cityline.

we should have one in Indonesia...*wondering when :(*but now I'm waiting for KD free live outdoor show for upcoming 9 May! yeyeyyey! :D oyah will upload mocca video later...

Singapore. Sentosa

Share some reviews for my hometown now. Singapoh lor! *sigh*
beside *sometime* people here are rude, high pace, etc etc Singapore


actually is a good city to living in and also city of fine. cannot split, cannot bring durian in MRT, soon soon. they have a lot of regulations that control EVERYTHING! so this city become very neat and FLAT! low crime...even a beggar they have license..

so please imagine how does it feel to live fulled of control...
despite of all, they have lot of places good to visit. start with SENTOSA. who doesn't know about this place? almost everyone knows this place as a landmark of Singapore.

after so long never visit, finally we visited Sentosa again for 1 day recreation. nope half day recreation. the first time i came here, we went there by cable car. you can reach that from VIVO CITY MALL, designed by Toyo Ito and Dp arch, pay around 30 SGD including Sentonsa entrance fee. you can go there also by car *if you have*, or commonly by train. just pay 2 SGD for return tickets.

now sentosa is under redevelopment called Sentosa World Resort. will open in 2010. they will have integrated resort, casino, hotel, and theme park like Disneyland.http://www.sentosa.com.sg/index.html*only this I'm waiting for ^^v*

currently sentosa only has beach which not that good at all. because you only can see tankers from Batam, called Siloso Beach. here where Zouk Out Party always held. they have some good attraction *but not much*, such as Song of The Sea, cost about 8 SGD, sky train, sky luge, Singapore Historic museum, sea world, etc. they have big purple merlion also where tourist usually take photo.

Actually all quite fun, they have beautiful lighting in the night. Song Of The Sea show also awesome. :D they put element like cabaret, water, fire, and laser to 1 hour show which is worth to watch. they have accommodation here if you want to stay over. but the price must be expensive.
okay just take a look for the photos ;D
