Public Enemies

Sebenernya siy ada film "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" yang belum gw posting. Tapi berhubung udah lewat 11 hari dari gw nonton itu film (gw bela-belain nonton hari pertama tuh.. hihihihi..), gw posting belakangan aja deh sekalian hehehehe..

Sekarang gw mo posting tentang film yang baru gw tonton semalem, "Public Enemies"

Still Gorgeous ;)
The reason I wanted to watch this movie is just because of Johnny Depp.

Harusnya gw nonton "Public Enemies" tanggal 22 Juli kemarin pas tayang pertama kali di bioskop. Tapi berhubung alasan ini itu, mundur terus. Sampai akhirnya ada ajakan dari one of my elementary school buddy buat nonton film ini bareng kawan-kawan SD gw lainnya. Ya sekalian reuni kecil-kecilan ketemu kawan-kawan masa kecil, makanya gw setuju buat nonton di Minggu malam.

I rated this movie 3 out 5 stars! And I really hate Christian Bale in this movie. It's all because he killed my Johnny Depp in the end of the movie!

But telling you the truth, I really don't fit to this kind of movie. If it's not because of Johnny Depp, I will never watch this kind of movie.

Gosh.. This movie made me realize how long I admire him. Since "21 Jump Street" when I was only 7.

Almost 20 years ago :D

Kami Tidak Takut! - We're Not Afraid

sung by Pandji Pragiwaksono


Terlalu lama gua berdiam
Melihat, membaca, menonton membuat gua geram
Jangan pernah kita anggap mereka pahlawan, atau diliput bagaikan pemenang
Giliran yang pemenang media gak datang
Teroris menjual berita baik basi, teroris gak penting jadi jangan berisik!
Biarin mereka tertangkap dan tertembak mati (Hey!)

Kepada kalian yang berkeliaran, Detasemen 88 kan datang
Teman-temanmu sudah kami makamkan
Jadi sekarang giliran kamu yang gentar

Kerjaanmu memang hanya intimidasi
Sekarang akhirnya senjatamu aku curi
Coba ngaca lihat wajahmu pucat pasi
Dua ratus juta rakyat kami bersaksi

Bangsa Indonesia! (KAMI TIDAK TAKUT!)
Gue ga bego, gue tau loe gak takut (KAMI TIDAK TAKUT!)
Cuman mungkin loe ga terbiasa untuk jujur tentang ini sama diri loe sendiri (KAMI TIDAK TAKUT!)
Apalagi di depan orang lain (KAMI TIDAK TAKUT!)
Yang harus loe lakukan hanya mengulang satu buah kalimat (KAMI TIDAK TAKUT!)
Dan sangat gampang (KAMI TIDAK TAKUT! KAMI TIDAK TAKUT!)

Masa kita ga mau bersatu
Jelas-jelas ada usaha untuk kita hancur
Bom Bali satu dua, Kedubes Australia
Elo pikir itu apa?

Akuilah bahwa mereka mencoreng negara
Masa Kanye West aja ngelompatin kita
Singapur ke Australia
Padahal dia ngefans sama gue (hehehehe..)

Teroris yang berbahagia, puas-puaskanlah kau tertawa
Atau bahkan kau simpan semua kenang-kenanganmu hidup di dunia
Karena kami, Bangsa Indonesia, sudah muak dan KAMI TAK TAKUT!
Kami maju dan kamu tersudut, di neraka kavling-mu menunggu (Hoo!)

Ayo, Bangsa Indonesia! (KAMI TIDAK TAKUT!)
Yang perlu elu lakukan adalah mengulangi kalimat ini dan ini sangat gampang (KAMI TIDAK TAKUT!)
KAMI TIDAK TAKUT! (KAMI TIDAK TAKUT!)
Ayo, kalo perlu berdiri dari tempat loe duduk (KAMI TIDAK TAKUT!)
Kalo perlu angkat tangan jari tengah loe ke udara (KAMI TIDAK TAKUT!)

Benarkah langkahku, benarkah perwujudan kata-kataku?
Apakah Tuhan, Engkau merestuiku?
Melawan musuhku yang juga hamba-Mu
Hamba bukanlah umat terbaik-Mu, tapi keimanan hamba tak sampai membunuh
Hamba hanya ingin rakyat tuk bersatu, berdiri, bersama melawan pembunuh
Amin!

Bangsa Indonesia! (KAMI TIDAK TAKUT!)
Terlepas dari apakah yang melakukan kegiatan terorisme itu betul-betul teroris (KAMI TIDAK TAKUT!)
Atau bahkan orang Indonesia sendiri yang berusaha untuk menakuti kita (KAMI TIDAK TAKUT!)
Kita harus buktikan bahwa KITA TIDAK TAKUT! (KAMI TIDAK TAKUT!)
Kita tidak bisa diintimidasi! (KAMI TIDAK TAKUT!)

KAMI TIDAK TAKUT! KAMI TIDAK TAKUT!
KAMI TIDAK TAKUT! KAMI TIDAK TAKUT!
KAMI TIDAK TAKUT! KAMI TIDAK TAKUT!
KAMI TIDAK TAKUT! KAMI TIDAK TAKUT!




This is a nice song from Pandji Pragiwaksono. He's not really a new comer. He already has 2 (two) albums and the latest album was launched on July 4, 2009.

This song itself is on his second album. Actually he wrote this song on November 2008. And since Jakarta Bombing last Friday, this song became (like) the theme song of a movement called #indonesiaunite. Pandji himself became one of the spoke-person for that movement.

This song is clarify that we, Indonesian, are not afraid about those terrorism things and we will unite together to fight against the terrorism!

Hear Pandji every Monday-Friday, 6-10 A.M on Good Morning Hard Rocker Show (Jakarta) and every Thursday, 8-9 P.M on Provocative Proactive (Jakarta)

My First Exclusive Concert

This is what I want to tell you a few weeks ago. About my first experience attending an exclusive concert on July 11, 2009. Why it was exclusive? Because it was held by invitation only. And I got the invitation from a radio quiz. I got 3 (three) free invitations, so I asked my lil sister and my cousin to came with me.

The concert was sponsored by one of famous cigarette in Indonesia. That's why the concert called by the name of the cigarette. And the concert itself was held in Golden Ballroom of Hotel Sultan, Jakarta. The star performer of the concert was Alexa and RAN - two of famous nowadays band in Indonesia. Well, actually I was not the biggest fans of them, but I knew some of their songs and sometimes I was humming their songs.

Please enjoy the pictures from the concert. I believe that pictures can tell you a lot of fun than thousand of words.

Went to the concert with a bruised head

When Reality Bites

Picture taken from here

I want to apologize to all of my neighbors here. I'm sorry if I don't do the blogwalking as I used to and maybe it took so long for me to come to your house.

Telling you the truth, I do have some problems here in my real life. But so sorry if I cannot talk about my problems here. Those problems are making my brain running so fast so I could not think about my comfy home here..

I do miss you all a lot. And I do have a lot of stories to tell here. I have my first exclusive concert to tell. I have my nephew and niece's birthday to tell. But I guess those stories are have to wait to be published.

I hope you can understand my condition. All I need now is your understanding, your love, and your support. I don't need any compassion. I just need you to be here as always for me..

Thank you for your understanding. I love you all, Neighbors!

My 4th of July Celebration

Even though I'm a truly Indonesian, but yesterday I was celebrated the 4th of July. But this is how I was celebrated the 4th of July.. In my style, anyway ;)

One of my best buddies in Geng Hore was having his wedding party on 4th of July. Let's say that this is the first wedding among the main member.

Inilah tampilan seragamnya..

Keren kaaaaaaaan..?? ;)

Kedua mempelai bersama orang tua masing-masing

Geng Hore di Pelaminan (lagi)
(tanpa Om-Om bercelana putih :P hahahahahahaha..)


Selesai dari nikahan Mas B, bukan Geng Hore namanya kalau ga cari tempat lain untuk kongkow-kongkow. Pintong-lah kita ke salah satu mall yang jadi tetangganya Gedung Bursa Efek Indonesia di kawasan SCBD, Sudirman.

Tadinya siy kita cuma mau sebentar aja di mall itu karena sudah ada jadwal untuk pindah ke mall di Pintu Satu Senayan. Tapi karena kebetulan ada kampanye putaran terakhir untuk pasangan capres-cawapres yang mau melanjutkan visi dan misi mereka 5 tahun ke depan, jadinya kita malas untuk mendekati daerah Senayan. Macet gilaaaaaaaaaaaaa.. Lha wong untuk ke SCBD aja harus menempuh perjuangan berat di seputaran Jalan Gatot Subroto :(

Tujuan awal di Pacific Place Mall adalah nyobain restoran baru yang ada di lobby utama mall (bener-bener ga bisa diakses dari dalam mall tu resto.. harus keluar dulu dari mall lewat lobby utama, baru bisa ke resto itu) Yang tadinya niat untuk ngemil di resto bernama Potato Head, eh qo ndilalah malah makan besar (dengan harga besar pula..)

"Tangga" akses ke lantai 2 di Potato Head

Suasana di Lantai 2 Potato Head

Burger di Potato Head

Ice Cappucino di Potato Head

Salah satu pasta di Potato Head yang bikin gw mabok keju @_@

Kenyang bego di Potato Head, eh masih lanjut untuk cari diskonan 60% di Secret Recipe. Tapi dalam perjalanan ke Secret Recipe di lantai atas, nyangkut dulu ke stand permen Yupi. Secara dari tadi keliling Pacific Place nemuin wahana Yupi Land terus.. Itu tu patung-patung binatang yang dibuat dari aneka permen Yupi.. Berhasil membeli permen seharga hampir Rp 50.000,00 :P Untung gigi kita kuat-kuat.. Kalau enggak, bisa-bisa dilarang makan permen karena takut gigi pada bolong :D hehehehehe..

Bolak balik naik eskalator di Pacific Place

Coba-coba permen di Yupi Land

Makan permen sampai sakit gigi

Ngemil permen kenyal sambil lirik-lirik diskon sana-sini, nyampai juga di Secret Recipe. Sayang saat sampai di situ, semua cake sudah ludes des des des.. Tak bersisa! Bener-bener semua orang memanfaatkan diskon yang cuma berlaku 2 hari itu saja (Sabtu untuk all item - food, beverages, and cake; Minggu untuk cake and pastries) Jadinya gw kembung aja di Secret Recipe.. Karena pesan begitu banyak ragam minuman tanpa ditemani cake :(

Menu di Secret Recipe

Total lebih dari 12 jam gw habiskan bersama Geng Hore. Bahkan melewati waktu Dhuhur, Ashar, dan Maghrib bersama di mushola Pacific Place :P

Great day.. Great food.. And great buddies..
