Foster the People (PART 2) and Bu Sum

Not quite done yet with the post previous to this one.. Lately, it's been so hectic that I got no spare time to go online. Either I have been so worn out that I went straight to bed or I have been so lazy that I just sit watching whatever shit they're showing on TV..

Backing up a bit to Foster the People.. I have pictures that I took from my blackberry. It wasn't that good, but I just wanna show it..

I think this is the perfect memes to explain how I felt when I'm watching the concert yesterday..


I literally snatched it from Ivan's hand




Oh oh oh, did I tell you HOW EPIC THE CONCERT WASSSSS!!!???





Okay.. I have to admit I was quite narcissistic that night.. *Guilty as charged*

ALSO,

I have other pictures that I took from my blackberry in Bu Sum (at the same street before Mangga Dua ITC). The place only opens at 10 p.m and they're closed on weekends.. It's just a typical cheap nasi (rice) uduk  restaurant, but what makes it special is that we are offered with varieties of food choices to accompany our nasi uduk.. Even national actors and actress came here to have supper.. Let me just show the pictures..

The food goes from this side to that other side of this perpendicular table. I was very much excited to see the choices of food and it really turned on a feeding frenzy side of me..


 This dish belonged to Ivan. He ordered just the right amount of side dishes for his uduk rice.. 


 I CAN'T EVEN SEE MY RICE DUE TO EXCESSIVE SIDE DISHES THAT I PICKED.. 
I wasn't even that hungry by that time. But seeing all the yummy food being presented in front of your face just made me a little bit crazy.. Obviously I didn't finish all this. I couldn't even if I wanted to. Since Mr. 'Hungry all the time' was there, he finished his meal and mine as well..

I gave this place a two thumbs up for cheap traditional food. I will definitely go back here for supper.. The steaming hot uduk rice, the savory side dishes, the cramped up place filled with customers and plastic chairs, they all are very INDONESIAN.. Very much likely to be recommended for those of you who like traditional food..

Sorry for the low quality of the pictures.. I didn't bring my camera since they didn't allow to bring one to the concert..

Foster The People!

Yesterday, I finally went to Foster The People's concert in Jakarta... I didn't eat anything the whole day except for a bowl of oatmeal and yogurt.. Yeah, that sounds pretty disgusting, but I'm trying to eat healthy and I just thought of a quick way of consuming two healthy things at once.. It's not that bad..

After striding between Jakarta's awful traffic, I managed to go to FX and ate a decent meal with Ivan before going inside Tennis Indoor Senayan, where the concert was held. I was acting like a bipolar hungry bitch.. It was horrifying (well, at least for Ivan ;p)

Next thing I knew, Hanny and CJ was queuing to get inside, so we went straight to where she was (hell yeah for not queuing from way wayyy behind). I met surprisingly a lot of people inside.. Picture time..


Before it started, met up with my lovely senior, Renata. The two girls on the right side are lidia's cousins. Devy and Deby..


Hanny and Me being silly in the middle of the concert


 How epic me posing with Mike's face when he looks like he wanna dump a poo


Foster The People behind thereeee


CJ lurking at his own girl


This was before the arena was filled with people


CJ and Hanny


Trio Picture Time


EPIC EPIC EPICCCCCC


I was just being silly


Lidia took this pic when she was sitting down cause we have no clue what song they were singing


Ivan kept taking pics of me from this side of the view.. My nose looked so pointy I LOVE IT!





Don't judge me. I tend to dance crazy nonstop at concerts..

You know, when most girls would feel the world to own a new bag, a new pair of shoes or a new dress, well, going to concerts is my new bag, new pair of shoes and new dress. I LOVE the feeling of watching bands or singers performing live. I can see how inspired they are and they inspire me somehow in return.

The whole night, I was laughing, jumping, dancing, singing, screaming. For that one and a half hour I feel so sparked up as if a life-sized energizer just boosted up my energy. Going to concerts is my Balenciaga, dancing to the live music is my Bottega, enjoying it with the people I love is my Hermes..

Maybe some people wouldn't understand the thrill I felt. But it's okay. This is my muse. It makes me happy  and grateful just to be there. It's okay when others don't get it, that's what makes it special..

All I know is, I am 20 years old and in the right time of my life to be having fun doing these kinds of things, acting like a complete fool in it, appreciating simple things in life, and just simply be grateful for being so ALIVE..

A chorus from the song "waste" that inspired me the most that night. It's about getting your ass up and achieving the things that you really are passionate about or just staying where you are with no change..
"And every day that you want to waste, that you want to waste, you can
And every day that you want to wake up, that you want to wake, you can
And every day that you want to change, that you want to change, yeah
I'll help you see it through 'cause I just really want to be with you"

Seconds after 2012 and before that


Ivan took this shot of me with no make up and messy hair as if I've just been mobbed. And of course, with Riyan and the guitar.. 


Epic real memes by Teng



Nothing like the view from a 25th floor when the cars down there were not moving one bit






Durian Ice with cendol plus the creamiest durian juice I've ever had.. 
Yeah, we're all just 20 years old and all of us are in a brink or has fallen to the brink of what's so called..
CHOLESTEROL!



Cholesterol, Y U EXIST?! *isn't this the perfect memes or what?*
Look at Ivan's biceps.. My nagging works!


Yes yes yes, 2011 had been AMAZING!!! It just passed with a blink of an eye and before you know it, it's DOOMSYEAR.. Okay I gotta stop saying that it's a doomsyear, I don't even believe in it. Hell, I refuse the prediction that 2012 is the DOOMSYEAR. I haven't done a thing that could make me feel like I was meant for something. Hell, I haven't even lived! So I refuse, I refuse, I refuse you MAYANS! If the Mayans can know so much about everything, where the hell are they now anyway? What kinda of jerk predicted all kinds of right things, including the so called doomsday, then just disappeared without leaving any traces behind.. MAJOR JERKS

Enough with that. So, the earliest event that I'm looking forward to in the early 2012 is FOSTER THE PEOPLE concert, which is next week on the 11th of Jan 2012. So excited for it.

Okay, since I got nothing to write, I'm just gonna blabber this

First movie I watched in 2012


Basically, I watched this movie due to all the chinese cultures inside it. And also, where else can u watch Hugh Jackman sings a mandarin song(really badly)?

First new restaurant I tried in 2012

It's a place that has been opened since a year ago I guess. But I never had the chance to visit it. It's called NUZZY'S

Three words for this Canneloni, OH MY GAWWWDDDDDDD! It's cheesy, creamy and the hint of pesto above it is just like a cherry on top. The fillings are chicken and mushrooms. It's so yummy that I keep staring at the dish while Ivan was happily eating it. While I order just only the Salad.. Well, not that it's not good, the salad is really good, but I just regret of being a healthy hypocrite when what I really want was just that Canneloni!



See, even the salad looks so YUMMY



Quesadillas with Guacamole that Ivan ordered. Not really a fan of it since it's dry. But he seemed to enjoy eating all of it.


Thumbs up for cute tea cups..

The price is very much affordable! The place is cozy and comfy. I rate it 8.5/10. Definitely going back for other menus..

Last but not least, I wish all of us will be blessed with bundles of happiness in 2012. Let's just hope the Mayans predicted wrongly. and I still don't know how to stop seeing 9gag.
