Wrecking Ball

Oh well, this might came to an embarrassing thing for me to say, but yeah..one of the reasons why I chopped my hair last time was because of Miley Cyrus. She has been rocking some exceptionally unusual looks these days and am obsessed. To be honest with you guys, I actually had none knowledge whatsoever about her music and or films, but her bold fashion statement caught my attention once she turned herself into a sexy diva from a country girl. Just like the lyric of her song 'Party in the USA' the only song of hers I knew. I mean, come on..let just admit it. She is an icon for a rebel pop fashion street for the youngster. And even though am not that young anymore, but I totally adore her transformation. As a fashion forward she definitely has some balls. 
So when the Kasabian frontman Tom Meighan slammed Miley by branding her a ‘f***ing nightmare of the 21st century, I was like 'wtf'? I mean, of course I do understand everybody's concern about her suddenly changes herself into a semi porn star in her latest music video, but hey..that was the industry. The music industry is to blame for the 21-year-old singer’s rise to chart dominance by allowing her to trade her sexuality for money. And nope, am not about to defense her music here, but her fashion..yeah. Maybe she was a nightmare, after all she did make some controversies in life and people might knew her from things she did that shocked others rather than her achievements.
‘We (the music industry) created Miley Cyrus, man, that’s our fault. She’s just a f***ing accumulation of internet porn, f***ing hip-hop, f***ing Disney World. She’s just a f***ing nightmare of the 21st century,’ that how the Kasabian guy went, in an tirade against the Wrecking Ball singer. I was like, huh? Really? I mean, does everyone really feel that way about a young girl like Miley? Do you guys really annoy that bad? Wow. 
Okay, let me tell you one thing. Do not take things seriously and never think that everything you seen on telly was exactly like what it is. In my opinion, she might have been a wrecking ball herself but Miley was just playing around with other people feeling while she was enjoying her fame. And please, guys..must admit that when it comes to fashion, she is a diva. No argue about that whatsoever. She turned to became one of the celebrities people love to hate and I didn't see anything wrong about that. The industry made her who she is today and she was just a girl playing her part. Amen to that.

I hopped off the plane at L.A.X. with a dream and my cardigan
Welcome to the land of fame, excess, whoa! am I gonna fit in?
Jumped in the cab, here I am for the first time
Look to my right, and I see the Hollywood sign
This is all so crazy, everybody seems so famous
My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda homesick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
And the Jay-Z song was on
And the Jay-Z song was on
And the Jay-Z song was on

Late Post, NYE 2014


Welcoming 2014



Whoa! It’s 2014 already and I’ve been away for approximately six months. Not something that I normally do as you guys knew how obsessed I was with writing. But yea, now am back and the first thing that I want to write here is about my new life. So here we go…
After the death of someone I loved in Bali, I decided to relocate to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where I resided for almost nine months before I got a job in Sumatra Island of Indonesia, where I originally came from. So yea, since September last year I became a Sumatran. Alright!
Living in the island where Muslims are the majority of the people after fourteen years in Bali was not something that I could call an easy adjustment. I have several things to manage, started with my fashion statement. I am an island girl who loves island lifestyle and fashion. So to see many people, women in particular, covered up in hijab were something that I never used to. And for a fashionable reason, I was kind of shocked. Honestly, I felt so uncomfortable at first.
I am a very active girl and have a thing for sports in general. So one morning, I went for a run at a running track around a mosque called Masjid Agung. I have no idea whatsoever that in that place, there are rules about dressing up and so I went with my usual sport gears such as, legging and t-shirt. I aware about the location was close to a mosque so I dressed as polite as I could be. I am not a fool girl who didn’t understand manner and that what in my mind was at that time. But guess what?
Yup, while I was enjoying my run, an old guy approached me and told me that I was not supposed to go there in my legging and t-shirt which according to him were invited. And he said that loud enough for people around to heard and looked at me like I was an alien. Oh wow! I was like, huh? I was covered up enough according to my standard but obviously that was not enough to the city. What an embarrassing morning. I then decided to cut my run short and went home. It was enough for my embarrassment. Like a dog lost in a fight, I went home with tail between my legs.  
Funny, that was my opinion to this incident. But that doesn’t make me give up to this town. I mean, come on. Am a fighter and I don’t take no as an answer. Never. What happened at that mosque challenge me even more to defeat this town. Not that I am about to surrender to this place and follow its rules, no way. But seriously, I determine to change the people here to realize and see that you are not what wear, but more like what inside you. You can cover up from head to toe but if you are a bad person, than you are bad person. So yea, wish me luck guys. I think I need all the luck that I can get to change this town and make it more acceptable to my lifestyle. Ha!
