My Walkman Was Murdered!

Today I was in a very bad mood, extremely bad mood.

That super irritating, pain in the neck brother of mine spoiled my Walkman. My dad gave the Walkman to me because I got ninety percent for my Mathematics exam.

He could actually put the greatest invention of the decade into the water, saying that he wanted to test if the person who speaks in the Walkman could hold his breath for how many minutes. Oh my god! In this world, could there be any other more terrifying creature than a “brother”?

Ruining my Walkman was like ruining every hope of my life. Because of this, for a long time I wasn’t able to exchange the latest album with my classmates. I thought, Not very long I’d lose my reputation as DJ Pink. Perhaps I wouldn’t even have the chance to become a singer one day.

I reported this disaster to my mom, hoping that justice would be done, or at least gave my brother a piece of mind. Instead, she said the same old thing to me again, “Who asks you not to keep your things properly? Your brother is still young. You have to give in to him and guide him properly.”

I decided that next time I would teach him how to bang his head at the wall.

After that, mom gave brother what she felt was the worst punishment, glaring at him for twenty seconds and said, “You’re like a barbarian! If you do it again, I’m going to give you a good spanking.” The funny thing was, there would always be a next time.

The adults always say, “Being the elder sister should not bully your younger brother.” But why is it that younger brother can always bully the elder sister? Every time when dad and mom gave me a spanking, they would say it was for my own good. But why was it that when I hit my brother it wasn’t for his own good? I took his Transformer and had to return to him immediately; if my brother took my Barbie doll, mom would force me to let him played for a while.

If I was being a big bully, then wasn’t mom being a big bully as well?

This let me come to a conclusion: All adults are the same, like to be the judges for others, but never like to be their own judge and stick to the rules.

Forget it, there are parents everywhere. When will it be my turn to become a parent?

*This happened when I was still studying in Primary school.

Memoirs of WinterFairy

Memoirs of WinterFairy bring the readers into the past, present and future of my memories. Every story tells a funny, moving and sparkling portrait of myself. The characters in my stories are true and honest.

My notorious childhood, one that drives any mother crazy. My disinterest in education, struggles with friendships and a home I used to dread to going back.

From my father's infidelity, I become an unblinking observer. Watching the love affair evolved, I struggled to understand what goes on between lovers, and how relationships work - and fail to work. Then, as I step into adulthood, I have my own push-and-pull relationships, and the lessons in love are just as bewildering: how younger guys seem to be attracted to me, and my failure in having a long term relationship. I, a woman maneuvering her way through love, sex and relationships, and learning when to fish … and when to cut the baits. I've finally learned that in love there is neither pattern nor promise and there are never rules.

Based on true stories, parts of the stories are fiction in order to intrigue my readers. The names have been changed to protect my friends, love ones and family. The readers will get to discover the inner world of my thoughts and memories.

So, do look out for my series of short stories which I will be posting it up soon.

Sunburn & Lombok

Date : January 8 - 12
Venue : Imaj Villas (Lombok, Indonesia)

I'm back!!! I miss all of you so much while in Lombok. Below is a brief recap on my trip.

My 2nd visit to Imaj since last year March 2008 with my family and friends. I was at their 3-bedroom villa again since the package was purchased a year ago and expiring in February this year. I bought it for US$600 for 5 days 4 nights last year. Recently, Imaj had this promotion and their 3-bedroom villas was selling at US$40 per night only!!! @#$@#$@#@#$@@$#@#

Anywa, since I'm just back from my retreat, I'll briefly summarize on what I did. The photos below are the villa I was staying (forgotten to take a photo of the bedroom I was sleeping in). And not forgettig me sunbathing... and came back with sunburn. OUCH!!!

1 of my dinner, I invited the chef to cook at my villa. While they were busy preparing my dinner, I went to peep on how they prepared the food and penned it on my notebook. I will use it for one of my cooking class ho ho ho...

I took some photos of the place as well. Not a thorough photo tour, but at least better than nothing?

Due to me and my sunburn, I couldn't have a body scrub at the spa. I ended up with a full body massage, strawberry mask and milk (body), anti-agiing facial and pedicure. I took their Christmas & New Year special package which included 3 course dinner and a bottle of red wine. All these for only Rp960, 000!!! SO CHEAP!!!

On my last night in Lombok, I went to this seafood restaurant recommended by the staff at Imaj. They said the seafood there is not only fresh, but cheap as well. Verdict: GREAT GOOD, NICE AMBIENT AND SUPER CHEAP!!! 1 Lobster, 4 King Prawn, 6 sticks of Calamari, 1 whole Red Snapper, a plate of vegetables and rice and beer : Rp291, 000.

Some of the food I had while in Lombok, too layz to take picture for all my meals there =p

Not forgetting my cute pinkystreet doll. I was so lazy that only took a few photos for Yoshiko.

I was kind of unlucky. My 3rd night there I got sting by a bee on my nose, 4th night by an unknown insect on my right foot and ended up still swollen till now.

I didn't buy anything when in Lombok since the place isn't a shopping paradise. It is more for relaxation, spa, watersport, scuba diving and cheap and good seafood. I ended up spending quite a fair amount on tipping the staff at Imaj.

This will be a busy week for me for I'll be away again next week for cruise from Monday - Thursday. And after that will be Chinese New Year. Gosh! So many things to be done by this week!!!

Love Is By Rain/Bi

Before I head for my holiday at Lombok, Indonesia, I will leave you guys with this awesome song by Rain (also known as Bi). The song is from his latest album, Ranism. This is my favourite from the album, Love Is (Track 5). Enjoy and I shall see all of you when I return the following Tuesday. Until then!~

Love Is - English Translation

To me, love is
Giving and receiving everything,
Having the same thoughts
As you fall deeper, you turn into a fool
You can’t help but look to one place
You become more childish
When my hand is holding yours,
It feels as if I’ve got everything in the world. Yes~
I want nothing else

(Chrous)
I’m going to touch you
I’m going to treasure you
I’m going to be behind you,
By your side, protecting you forever
You need love
I want to see you in the mornings

yea yea yea oh~ Look into my eyes
Look at me~ My babe
We say that we will spend the rest of our lives together
Press your lips against mine
Please say I do
This is the beginning,
With the trembling voice I can not believe
When my hand is holding yours,
It feels as if I’ve got everything in the world Yes~
I want nothing else
–(Chorus)–
Everyday, every night,
I’m going to spend it with you
Everywhere, every time,
I will take you to the places you want to go
If you want
I will make a pledge of my love Baby~
–(Chorus)–
Yes. How do you feel, baby?

Stepping Into Year 2009

Most people would set New Year resolutions for themselves, so do I. The problem is, how many of us can actually keep to our resolutions?

It's odd how most of us see the new year as a time to start over. And while many feel compelled to review what we've done with our time on earth over the last year, few will actually commit to making any real changes, and of those who do, even fewer will actually succeed.

I believe most people make resolutions with the very best of intentions. Either way, the heavy hand of everyday life has such a grip on us that it becomes virtually impossible to break out of that rut and truly start life anew.

My first draft of this posting, I wanted to set resolutions for our family. Half way through, I decided not to and deleted everything. If you haven't noticed, I have quit from being the family master. I am saddened by a few things I notice that has been going on in the family. I cannot help but feel disappointed in some of the family members. I especially feel sad that both myself and the family are being taken advantage of, or rather, take for granted...

The irony part is, I am not even sure how many of the family members actually make an effort to keep up closely to the posting here. In a family, cohesion would be defined as the feeling of being loved, of belonging to the group and being nurtured by it. Although closeness is good in a family unit, there must be a balance between being together and being separate. A few things that bring a family together are the commitment of other family members, and the spending of time together.

Ever hear the saying, “What we have here is a failure to communicate?” A lack of communication can rip a family apart and destroy them. Things that facilitate communication are the things mentioned so far -- family closeness, flexibility, time spent together, spirituality. All members must feel a freedom within the group to express themselves freely. 

Do we have these qualities in our family? Are we bonded together or are we behaving as an individual? Do we communicate enough? Do we think and act what is best for our family?

If any of you do read this, ponder on what are said here. If you do not agree with any of these, we will move on without you.

A new year marks a new start for everyone of us and a new Da Ecchi Stars. Have a safe, happy and prosperous new year!
