One of my favorite Indonesian music videos, ever!
I always had a thing for mermaids, moreover the story of love between mermaid and human. And this video presents a story line.
Check out the lyric, it's so touching *sobsob*:
Mungkin ini memang jalan takdirku, mengagumi tanpa dicintai. Tak mengapa bagiku asal kau pun bahagia dengan hidupmu, dengan hidupmu.
Telah lama kupendam perasaan itu, menunggu hatimu menyambut diriku. Tak mengapa bagiku cintaimu pun adalah bahagia untukku, bahagia untukku.
Reff (twice): Kuingin kau tahu diriku di sini menanti dirimu. Meski kutunggu hingga ujung waktuku. Dan berharap rasa ini 'kan abadi untuk selamanya. Dan ijinkan aku memeluk dirimu kali ini saja. 'Tuk ucapkan selamat tinggal untuk selamanya. Dan biarkan rasa ini bahagia untuk sekejap saja.

Christmas in Singapore

It's Christmas' season already in Singapore! I love Christmas, it's one of the holidays I love the most. No, wait, it's the only holiday I love.
Anyway, the Christmas ambiance is felt strongly here in Singapore. Most of the shops already have they're Christmas tree installed, and the Christmas decoration can be seen everywhere.

The magnificent thing of all is, you can see all the way from Tanglin road, to Orchard to Dobby Ghout (maybe even further, but I'm not sure), the highways, streets and trees are decorated with lightings and purple snowflakes. Oh, my favorites! Snowflakes and the color purple!
Also, the theme of this Christmas is 'A Fairytale Christmas'; How unique!
I heard Singapore government spent a huge sum of money for the lights: S$80 million, wow!
And, to add the attraction, there is -as usual- end of year sale everywhere :p So, if you live everywhere else, you really should visit Singapore this times of the year.

However, despite of the blings and glitz of it, let's not forget the true meaning of CHRISTmas: it's the birthday of our Lord! Have you prepared a present for Him?

Want =/= Deserve

Just because you want something doesn't mean you deserve to get it.

So remember that when you walk past something that you want but can't really afford to buy.

Impulse buying might feed your needs for a minute or two, but the long-lasting financial sting is not worth the temporary joy. Think long-term about your money now.
There are many important investment opportunities coming up, and you need to have capital at hand in order to make the most of them.

I miss my -sweet- lovely durian.
Do you still remember who you are?
I do - :)

Sekarang aku tahu apa yang aku takutkan. Bukan mimpi yang terlalu indah yang takkan menjadi kenyataan, tapi mimpi yang menjadi kenyataan tapi ternyata tak seindah yang aku bayangkan.
