Navidad en Sureste

I'd like to wake up, open my window and feel the first snow that falls on the tip of my nose. I'd like to walk in the neighborhood and see frosty the snowman. But most of all, I'd like to be near my home on christmas day.
All the photos are taken by www.arielbezaliel.com
Check my be sties website guys, he's really a great photographer, videographer, performer, model, an amazing personality and my best friend as well! :)
Picture
When I was a kid, Christmas and snow are always full of magic. Sneaked out from my room just to wait for Santa Claus on the Christmas eve. My dad would tell me, 'Jangan di tungguin, ga bakalan dateng did kalau kamu tungguin kayak maling gitu.' (meaning: Don't wait for him, he wouldn't come if you're waiting for him just if you're waiting for a thief to come)

Veinte Años

Some people said time's running fast once you are 20. I do not know what's coming up ahead, neither do i have a clue how to handle things. No matter what, I ain't grow any younger, I'll make the best of it!
Picture
A friend asked me on facebook, 'so how does it feel to be 20?' and I said, I have no clue yet, I have been 20 for only 3 days. By anyhow, it is clear that growing up is not like flipping coins, there is no option to not adding up 1 year after your birthday.
However, there are few option when we grow up, and it is all up to us. Some people choose to settle down earlier, and the other choose to pursue their career. And also there are few who still sit back and playing around, shuffle their cards, waiting for opportunities to come and surprised that it is us to run for opportunities cause it has passed you by.
Picture
Picture
As soon as we blow the candles of our ages as the numbers, we are already reminded that we need to make some progress.
I was somebody who still sit back and shuffle my cards, and I was shocked after looking at my long lost agenda, and I found this.
It reminds me how little I have achieved in 2 years time.
It got me looking back at the things I've done, in previous years and back then.
But, the good news is, all the decision is up to us. We can sit back and relax, or to fasten our seatbelt and drive in a normal but slightly faster speed. Both are good, cause in the end of the day, it's happiness that matter the most.
Cindy and Ariel kept me accompanied after few minutes 'galau-ing' (being so emotional) about my promises on my long lost agenda.  I didn't notice by the time Ariel set on camera on my tripod, it was just a normal thing for broadcasting people like us to 'kotak-katik' (play with) the camera.
In 15 minutes, my door was opened wide by the faces that always made my day at campus, singing happy birthday to me. Not just that, my dearest housemates brought me cake and presents as well. I was speechless, never expected they would gather and come to wish me on my born day.
Honestly, I feel the happiest of my life, just can't smiling of how all of them made me feel :)
Picture

Here comes the day. Indonesian custom is always the birthday girl/boy treats their friends. It is believed to give thanks and show gratefulness and appreciation of one year or more of togetherness. For being thru ups and downs together.
Picture
Picture
Thank you Junvelyn Limarco, my beautiful housemate for the hairdo :)
Picture
A born day means a lot more if we get to spend with special people. Even though I'm living separated with my family, I got to spend it with my best friends, they are my family here.
Picture
At first, I chose Marini on 57 for our dinner, but due to last minute reservation, I couldn't make it. That brought us to Thirty8 Restaurant, Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur.
Picture
We had amazing meals. Starting from the Roti naan that is believed that we finished it because of hunger being stuck in the jam for 1 hour. Main course from Grilled Chicken, Assorted sushi, rib eye, sirloin steak and of course, dessert! :)
Picture

Don't mind the empty plates on the table. All the meals are worth it, definitely will suggest anyone to have dinner here. Beside, the hospitality was very warm compared to the other restaurant that I was planning to make a reservation.

Have a nice December all,

Roadtrip to Sekinchan

I will run to some place, where the paddy grows, and the sky has no limit. All I see is green and blue.
Picture
After Ariel, Nathan, Yi Sheng, Wilson and me voluntarily worked for Enfagrow Expo, and earned a little money, I flipped my coin again. Whether to save up the whole money or spend a little bit on a trip.

And yeap!
Numbers!

Sekinchan here we go!

Pasar Seni & Around

12/7/2013

0 Comments

 
You can always walk out from the crowd, to find a different place where you can walk till night sky turn to red.
Picture
There were two choices I had,
to stay for Photojournalism Class,
or to accompany my friends to Pasar Seni.
So I took out my coin and flipped it...


 It showed numbers!
Without a second thought, I ran to my friends car and left.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Before we arrived at Pasar Seni (Central Market), my friends and I had decided to go back straightaway after buying Gasing (Malaysian Traditional Game) for montage shooting purpose next week. No matter near or far, broadcasting people always bring cameras along with them. We just do not want to miss anything that makes news, or interesting, or sudden thing, or photo taking (of ourselves) as well.
Picture
Picture
Waiting inside a moving LRT, to be arrived at Pasar Seni was the longest time I had ever spent to sit still, but we've got great companions. When we are talking, 2 of my Malaysian friends admitted they had never really explored entire part of KL. I guess it's BINGO!
Picture
So, are you guys sure to go back straightaway after we've got Gasing? Hemm.. :)
Picture
Picture
We will definitely wander outside and around Pasar Seni.
And we will encourage you all to explore starting from your own country :)
Cheers,
Liv
