Been more than a decade, but I can't get enough of this old Indonesian's song.. So I decided to post it and share this good music on my blog. Made the translation although not so sure if it is the right meaning behind the song.. Hope you enjoy it. *And hope one day I get a chance to visit East Timor.* 

"Biarlah layar terkembang.. Ku ingin menyeberang melintas pulau dan lautan menjemput cintaku, belahan jiwa yang tertinggal di timor loro sae."

Menderu ombakmu menabuh pantai kala tatap matamu sapa jiwaku.

Membiru lautmu memeluk pasirkala harum nafasmu sebut namaku. 

Dua biduk t'lah berlabuh di satu dermaga cinta..

Januari di kota dili, kian hangat dalam ingatan.Nantikanlah aku kembalituk menjemput cintamu

Menguning bulanmu mengetuk malam dan mesra jemarimu belai sukmaku.

Membias bintangmu menghias nyiur dan hangatnya bibirmu kecup kalbuku.

Dua langit t'lah membaur di suatu cakrawala, dua biduk t'lah berlabuh di satu dermaga cinta..

Januari di kota dili tak terkira cinta bersemi. Januari lekas berganti dan terhempas cintaku.. 

Januari di kota dili kian hangat dalam ingatan nantikanlah aku kembali tuk menjemput cintamu

"Let's set the sail. I want to go cross the oceans and islands to see my soulmate that was left in East Timor."

The waves roared beating the shoreline as your eyes met my soul..

The blue ocean reached the sands as your breathe whispered my name.

Two boats were harbored at the love pier.

January in Dili.. Getting warmer in memories. Please wait for me to see my love..

The moon was yellow tapping the night and your fingers stroked my spirit.

The stars drifted decorating above the coconut trees as your warm lips kissed my mind. 

Two skies have blended into one horizon, two boats were harbored at the love pier.

January in Dili.. Never thought love was blooming. January switched too quickly and my love crashed..

January in Dili.. Getting warmer in memories. Please wait for me to have your love..

Dear my beloved friends,

I used to be hesitated,

to say that you were the ones who understand me

but, now I know that you are.

Dear friends,

We might have our separate ways,

our own way to solve problems.

Today, perhaps we cannot talk often like we used to be

We cannot see each other

and share every little secrets everyday.

But we know for sure that deep down..

friendship is not just another word that easily spoken and forgotten by time

Dear friends,

As long as you still believe that we will forever be friends,

nothing's gonna break this friendship.

I just want to let you know that I'm so grateful,

to have friends like you.

**dedicated to my BFsF who have been there for me during my rough and tough times:: Mee, See, & ilL

A Passage of Life

Three years now, and we believe we've got it made..
Life is here for good and looks will never fade.
Time is all we have.. until the day we say goodbye.

Summer came and left without warning.
Just like a whisper; it's gone by..
But I still remember how you cared for me.
And I still recall every moment of those endless summer nights.

All that I know in my life, I have learned from you.
No magic carpet, no genie, no fairytales..
That we won't go down without a fight.
Our voices are strong.. our future is bright.

Just when I believe I couldn't ever want for more..
This ever changing world push me,
Through another door,
To a life next to my dream.

We don't know this game is never over.
'Til the cards have all been played,
And in our own we will walk by..
A passage of life.


*A poem given to me by a friend of mine from his high school year book*

Another Nutrilon Royal Ad (2012), the newest one, that brings me some kind of inspiration.

I don't know how they came up with such an idea, but I really like it (the music, the boys & girls, etc).

#LifeStartsHere!

This ad gives me encouragement..  "To live my life to the absolute fullest. To open my eyes to be all I can be. To travel roads not taken, to meet faces unknown. To feel the wind, to touch the stars. To promise to discover myself. To stand tall with greatness. To chase down and catch every dream. Because.. LIFE IS AN ADVENTURE" -by Nutrilon Royal 3 (2010)

This one is one of my favorite classic Indonesian songs.. Andai Kau Datang Kembali (If you come back) sang by Ruth Sahanaya.

Here is the original lyric:

Terlalu indah dilupakan
Terlalu sedih dikenangkan
Setelah aku jauh berjalan
Dan kau ku tinggalkan
Betapa hatiku bersedih
Mengenang kasih dan sayangmu
Setulus pesanmu kepadaku
Engkau kan menunggu
Andaikan kau datang kembali
Jawaban apa yang kan ku beri
Adakah cara yang kau temui
Untuk kita kembali lagi
Bersinarlah bulan purnama
Seindah serta tulus cintanya
Bersinarlah terus sampai nanti
Lagu ini ku akhiri

I accidentally saw this music video, We Were in Love by T-Ara feat. Davichi just now. Love it..! Although I don't speak Korean, but the subtitle helps me to understand the meaning the lyrics. Thanks for the subscribers!

Black Symphony

In a lonely cold night I dreamed about you. I drew a hope of us being together.
But I couldn't stop myself from thinking. Have I ever appeared in your dreams?

There's only your name in my heart.
Loving you and missing you become my favorite words,
But I couldn't keep myself from wondering.. Have you fallen for me yet?

I have sung all my sad love songs. I have whispered all my darkest sides.
I have forgotten all my dreams and longings. But why I couldn't still reach your heart?

If only you were here by my side. I would give you everything.
But still, I couldn't keep myself from wondering. Have you ever missed me?

Would you please for a moment just standing here and listen to me.
Listen to my symphony. That is the only one for you..

I have forgotten all my dreams and longing.. But I still couldn't move your heart.



~Black Symphony is a lyric that sang by Sherina Munaf, an Indonesian artist, who has beautiful voice. I love the song and the lyric. I tried to make a rough translation during my free time (to help me improve my English too! ;p).. So, enjoy! Courtesy of Sherina M~

A few weeks ago I went out for a shopping and saw this. What a great encouragement words I thought.. And then I decided to make one of my own inspired by it:

We are on this journey together.. Let's create memories and leave marks in each others' life. Don't be afraid of making mistakes; we can learn from them.

It's okay if we lost the track of time. As long as we have old friends who will be there to remind us of those happy/sad moments and cheer us up.

Enjoy every ups and downs. And don't forget to smile to everyone we meet. *cause you'll never know who will fall in love with your smiles..* ;)

I just finished watching a Taiwanese drama recently. It called "True Love Please Ring the Bell Twice".
In this drama they inserted a soundtrack from 五月天. I'm not sure about the tittle, but I fell in love with the song.. So I looked up for the lyrics online and tried to translate it on my own. And here is my rough translation:

Twinkle twinkle little star.. How I wonder what you are.

Up above the world so high like a diamond in the sky..

Do you know how to chase the rainbow together?

Do you know how to embrace that one summer breeze?

Stars in the sky smile to the people on earth.

Seems like I can't always understand, I can't know enough.

At the same time the wind comes and blow away the spell.

A kite flies high upon the sky

Because of your, your prayer, your blessing, and your touch..

But eventually your figure fading away in the crowd. 

If I fall in love with your smile,

How do I keep your smiles?

How are you gonna let me have you?

If you're happy.. but not because of me,

Could I let go the moments we had together?

Ok, this is my first time blogging. I'm excited, but I have no idea what I want to write. So as a starter, I decided to post my freshly baked cupcakes picture. To be honest, I used Pillsburry instant cupcakes mix to make them, and since I did not know how to make the frosting. So.. Voila..!! There you go.. Here is what they look like. Although there's no frosting on top, they still taste yummy for my tummy though. :)


ps: I am somewhat a little proud of myself. Hehe..
