One fine rainy day

This semester, I'm having six hours break every Tuesday. Clearly, sitting for six hours doing nothing in campus would be boring. Last Monday, I decided to accompany my friend, Pito, to go to Pertama Complex.

Shockingly, I enjoyed every moment on that day. Pito and I went to Pertama Complex by LRT. We stopped at Masjid Jamek. We were planning to have breakfast somewhere around there. We just walked, then we found a lot of interesting things, such as something like Little India in Singapore.

The rain was so bad that day, it forced us to go to random places such as small food court and Baju Kurung shop. We managed to go to Pertama Complex. Pito was having her jeans to be altered.

The best part was while we want to go back to our campus. We walked to LRT station and it was raining. We used umbrella and decided to take some pictures. We saw the Twin Towers and KL Tower covered by clouds. It's just comforting.

If Frank Sinatra said"on a clear day you can see forever", I would say "on a rainy day you will see differently." Everything seems to be different. Something I never seen before was there. That was one of the best moments in my life: walking under the rain, observing something and feel alive.

Well, I love to just sit and let my mind goes free. Feel and see something from the different perspective. Enjoying every moment I could take. Feel alive and feel the enchanting happiness.

"Zeexplorer exploring her sentimental heart"

Currently, I'm listening to Sentimental Heart by She & Him.

I do have sentimental heart right now. It's been a long time since my last post, and my life have changed. Too much changes had happened, something I barely recall.

I have found and lost something.

I've been trying so hard not to think about those things, but maybe I should.

I have hurt someone, but I never meant to hurt anyone.

I have found the new excitement in my life, but sometimes I feel that I am wrong having the time of my life while someone is hurt.

Now, we're just a stranger to each other. Maybe I should leave it just like that or I might hurt someone even more.

Well, I will try to always look in the bright side

So, hello my new life.......
and cheerio my old "habits"..................

:)



PS: I have learned how to drive, haha!

The Cat

Part 2:

I ran, the smell of Whiskas has brought me inside. It was a special smell that always makes my tummy feeling hungry. Oh, I loved Whiskas. I looked to my plate, my owner has poured the milk. The brown color of Whiskas and the whitey milk have mixed together.
These combinations tempted me. I took a bite. Hmm, delicious! Those Whiskas are crunchy with the unique taste of meat. It feels like heaven and like the nuggets my owner used to give me during his dinner time. The milk has given the own sensation. Some of my Whiskas had melted with the milk.

The Cat

"I'm taking Feature Writing subject this semester. My lecture asks me to write something about a cat that lived in the farmer at the breakfast time. The first part, the cat did not move at all. I need to describe what the cat saw. I'm going to post the revision from what I have written. It will be the story about the cat from what I have revised based on my lecture's comments"

Part 1:

The smell of bacon has woken me up. I looked through the window, waiting for the Mr. Golden Sun to rise up. It was dark outside. The farm has been covered by the darkness. I could not see clearly. I can smell the leaves with the dews flowing down to the land. I heard the cock waking every side of the farm up. It was fine morning, even the sky was not clear. The moon had already disappeared, the stars were followed. It was dark sky above, waiting for the new shine from Mr. Golden Sun.

THS: True "Hollywood" Story - Natasha

Livia is my brother in law's niece. One fine Sunday, I was attending Livia's English Competition. The English Competition was for students from kindergarten to junior high. It was interesting to see these young people were good enough in English (Indonesia is not an English speaking country). Then I saw the grand prize was 3 days 2 nights trip to Bali, wowww it was so tempting.

I did not mind to company Livia and I think this competition was good for these young people. Then, while they were waiting for the results, there was one girl named Natasha. Natasha (suppose to be) an actress. The MC was reading a lot of Soap Opera, advertisements and movies she had acted. I guess, she must be popular enough. She sang a few songs for the audience, which sadly supposes to be adults' type of song.

She was only 10 years old, still studying in elementary school and I bet she did not understand anything about those songs. The audiences were children as well. They would not understand what is love, why people tend to have triangle love, or anything that have been mentioned all the time from those songs.

She sang with EXTREMELY fake smile and looks kinda like plastic girl with full make up. She did flirt while singing, she moved and danced a bit. She was using pink dress, with pink legging and white boots (so entertainer).

I pity her. I did not know whether her mother forcing her to do these or this is all she wanted to do. I think, it is not suitable for her to be fake in very young age. She should enjoy her days as a kid, because someday when she grows up those fake smiles are more needed.

I asked my brother in law, "If you have a daughter, are you going to let her to be like Natasha?" He said, "NO" (thanks God my brother in law is clever enough not to let her future daughter being that sick)

I looked at Natasha's mother, she was proud of her daughter.

Natasha, I think she did not even really understand why she's doing all those things. She looks blur and young. She did not look like she enjoyed her performance. She did not understand what she was doing.

I remembered there were a lot of young actors or actresses who finally screwed up their life because they were popular when they were kids. Most probably, Natasha would ended up like them.

I saw Livia, she did not win the competition but she just sad like kid who had lost their Ice Cream. Someday, she will learn to do better, and she has her days as a young girl. Natasha, she might not only loseher Ice Cream, she might lose her days that suppose to be the most unforgettable days in her life.

Cheers for Natasha


PS. I will post Natasha's video later. I could not transfered the video from my cellphone, huhu. I don't know how to use the bluetooth.

Skeptics and True Believers

I need to admit, I used the title of The Academy Is... for my blog's title. Actually, I'm not a fan of The Academy Is.. I don't even like the song Skeptics and True Believers. When I was thinking about my blog's title, I searched to my iTunes playlist, and found Skeptics and True Believers is the sentence that quite reflect my personality. I could not explain it more though, hehe.

Know I think I need to change my blog's title because I really don't like the song. I was listening to this song last night and I felt like this song is sooooo high school, haha.

When I could not find the right words, I always use something pop in my mind which mostly come from songs. I think I need to start to avoid this habit, sometimes I felt that I did plagiarism or something. Most of my writing must be influenced by some songs, haha.

Okay then, I need to find the right blog's title.

Cheerio

Movie killed the book

Have you ever feel betrayed after watch movies that based on the books?
Indeed, most of the movies based on the books are always disappointed. I feel that some movies have killed my imagination.

Why people made a movie based on the book, if they tend to change almost the whole stories.

Gossip Girl, Da Vinci Code, The Nanny Diaries, Devil Wears Prada, and etc. there were a lot of differences between the books and the movies.

Let's take Gossip Girl as comparison. Even the serial was not that disappointed the story has changed. Jenny was supposed to be double D. Dan and Serena? Where is Vanessa? I thought Eric studying in Brown.

If you watched the movie, I just wanna tell you. Based on the book, Jenny has double D, she quite scandalous, she was naïve and Serena wannabe. Serena was a goddess (the serial has shown it too). She was never interested with Dan. Dan was dating Vanessa, the other Constance’s student and indie movie maker. Blair was not lost her virginity with Chuck Bass (for God sake). Eric was a college guy, studying at Brown and has partied a lot. Blair’s mom was not a fashion designer; she was dating someone that Blair hates so much. Blair’s step brother, Aaron, had a relationship with Serena. Blair was not that mean, she was not evil. She just want everything to be perfect, but unfortunately Serena always ruining her plans. Please be objective with Blair :)

Can you imagine how disappointed I am? There was a huge different thing.

Da Vinci Code, The Nanny Diaries and Devil Wears Prada were acceptable. Even I like the books much better, I understand, it was hard to put few hundred pages of book into two hours movie. They should cut something to fit in, and more drama is a must! Well, drama drama drama, maybe they thought all of us like too much drama.

There was some movie that followed the remarkable book loyally. Gone with the Wind, I just watched it once again, I felt it was fascinating. The movie given me the same satisfaction as the book.

Pride and Prejudice was the same though. Even it gets more romantic in the movie, it's acceptable.

If you read the book, you like it, why do you want to make a movie that totally different? You can change a bit, but not the main story.

Should I watch the movie first rather than read the book? I know, I wont get disappointed if I watch the movie first then read the book. So, there is no more pleasure of reading then. Bcos my mind has been set by the movie. I could not have the free imagination anymore, something people could not take from me.

After all, each person has their own interpretation about the book they have read. I couldn't blame them. Even I still feel my imagination has been killed by those movies that shown really different stories.

Well for all the movie makers, please don't destroy the story.

Cheerio
