Boleh Kita Ulangi Lagi?

Jika bisa, boleh kita ulangi lagi? Saya janji tidak akan terlalu menunjukan betapa saya suka pada kamu. Saya janji akan terlihat lebih bahagia dan lebih banyak bicara di depanmu. Saya janji akan langsung mengutarakan kegundahan saya tentangmu langsung padamu. Saya janji tidak akan pura-pura sok jual mahal tapi tetap berharga. Saya... ah rasanya saya malas obral janji lagi. Tapi saya ingin kamu tau, akan sangat berbeda jadinya jika kita mengulanginya lagi.

Saya ingin kamu janji untuk tidak mengacuhkan saya. Janji untuk membalas pesan singkat saya secepat yang kamu bisa. Janji untuk menelfon saya saat kamu merindukan saya bukan saat kamu kesepian dan bosan. Saya ingin kamu janji bahwa kamu akan memberikan saya kejelasan dan kepastian. Karena dari semua hal yang disukai wanita, kami paling paling suka es krim dan kepastian. Kepastian akan cinta dan kesetiaan kamu. Memang sih tidak ada yang pasti di dunia ini, tapi palin tidak coba yakinkan kami.

Kami perempuan memang terkesan suka menuntut, tapi percaya deh ini semua untuk demi kebaikan kita. Setidaknya itu alibi yang paling sering kami gunakan.

Mari kembali ke kita, tentang saya dan kamu. Saya pikir kamu tau kalau saya menyukaimu. Tadinya saya pikir kamu juga punya rasa yang sama, benar tidak? Atau saya hanya berenang dalam kolam delusi tanpa batas? Kalau ya, bantu saya ke tepian, kembali pada kenyataan, walau mungkin rasanya tidak semenyenangkan berenang dalam delusi.

Tapi akan lebih indah kalau kita ulangi lagi semuanya. Saya ingin kamu melihat sisi lain saya yang mungkin akan kamu sukai. Siapa tau kita menemukan kepingan puzzle yang selama ini kita cari. Dan semuanya pun akan lengkap. Jadi, mari kita ulangi?

Shop Till Drop at Bukit Bintang

Apa yang saya perhatikan dari Malaysia adalah mereka merawat bangunan dan gedung tua bersejarah mereka dengan baik, sehingga kota ini terlihat modern tapi juga klasik di saat yang bersamaan. Bukit Bintang sendiri merupakan kawasan yang nyentrik di mana gedung-gedung baru dan lama berkolaborasi satu sama lain. Ada banyak pusat perbelanjaan di kawasan Kuala Lumpur, tapi Bukit Binta menawarkan yang terbaik. Hampir semua pusat perbelanjaan di kawasan ini dapat dituju dalam hitungan menit berjalan kaki, ya jalan kaki. Jadi ini seperti dari mall ke mall ke mall untuk berbelanja!

What I have seen from Malaysia is they taken a good care of the their old historical buildings, which make the city looks modern yet vintage at the same time. Bukit bintang itself is a chic area with the old and new buildings collaborating each other. There are so many shopping malls in Kuala Lumpur, and Bukit Bintang offers the best. Almost all of shopping mall in the area can you reach within minutes walking, yeah walking! So it is mall to mall to mall to shopping!


Among all the shopping malls in Bukit Bintang, a few catch my eyes and my shopping sense for sure. And here they are:

Lot 10

Don't worry about walking from mall to mall, the pavement is big enough for all of us

Lot 10
Lot 10 sangat mudah menarik perhatian Anda dengan warna hijau cerah dari arsitektur bangunannya. Tempat ini sedikt kurang mewah jika dibandingkan dengan Pavillion, tapi tetap saja pusat perbelanjaan ini cukup besar dan akan akan mudah menemukan semua toko-toko yang sedang tren seperti Zara dan H&M di sini. Saya menghabiskan waktu yang cukup 'berkualitas' (menurut pendapat wanita, tentu saja) karena sedang ada Malaysian Mega Sale ketika saya berkunjung ke Kuala Lumpur.

Lot 10 will easily catch your eye with its bright green color. This place is less upscale compare to Pavilion, but it still quite big actually and you could find all the trendy stores like Zara and H&M here. I spent a good 'quality' time here (in women's opinion, of course) because the Malaysian Mega Sale is happening when I was here in Kuala Kumpur.

Skyscraper with a gloomy sky, another reason to shop!

Pavilion Kuala Lumpur
Terletak di awal jalan Bukit Bintang, pusat perbelanjaan ini cukup mudah ditemukan. Saya tidak sempat masuk ke dalam, tapi mall ini cukup besar dengan display merk-merk ternama diluarnya. Dari Pull & Bear hingga Zara. Dari Marc Jacobs hingga TOD's. Semua yang Anda inginkan, fashion kelas atas hingga street wear.

Located at the start of Jalan Bukit Bintang, Pavillion is quite easy to spot. I didn't make it go inside, but this shopping mall is quite big with all those well-known brands display outside. From Pull and Bear to Zara. From Marc Jacobs to TOD's. All you need to find from high fashion to street wear.

The edgy woman's heaven, Sephora!

Sephora
Bangunan Sephora terpisah dengan pusat perbelanjaan lain, hanya 2 menit jalan kaki dari Pavillion. Arsitekturnya sendiri terkesan edgy dan modern, terlihat sangat gaya. Ketika masuk untuk pertama kali, seperti yang sudah seharusnya, terasa seperti surga wanita. Semua rak terisi penuh dengan parfum, riasan wajah, dan perawatan tubuh. Saya bisa menghabiskan waktu seharian hanya untuk mencoba dan membeli barang-barang di sini.

Sephora has it own building separated with the other shopping malls, only 2 minutes walking from Pavilion. The architecture itself has an edgy - modern, looks so stylish. When I entered for the first time, just like it is always be, feels like women's heaven. With all those racks full of perfumes, make up, and body care. I would spent a whole day just to try and buy things here.

Low Yat Plaza
Plaza Low Yat merupakan pusat perbelanjaan perangkat teknologi informasi yang paling terkenal di Kuala Lumpur, sebagai perbandingan di Jakarta adalah Harco - Mangga Dua. Bangunan ini terdiri dari 7 lantai yang penuh dengan toko komputer dan gadget, tempat ini akan memuaskan rasa lapar Anda akan perangkat teknologi. Pastikan Anda membandingkan harga dari beberapa toko sebelum memutuskan untuk membeli. Harganya cukup bersaing dibandingkan di Indonesia. Setelah berjalan dari toko ke toko dan Anda merasa lapar, tak perlu khawatir, ada area kafetaria di lantai paling bawah. Saya mencoba sari tebu di sini, cukup menyegarkan setelah berkeliling dari toko ke toko selama berjam-jam.

Low Yat Plaza is the most famous IT Mall in Kuala Lumpur, as a comparison this is like Harco - Mangga Dua in Jakarta. Seven floor full of computer and gadget store, this place will feed your hunger about technology devices. You need to compare the price from several store before committing to buy things here. The price is quite good in comparing with the price range in Indonesia. After strolling from store to store and you feel hungry, no worries, there is an eatery section in the lower ground.  I tried a sugar cane drinks here, quite refreshing after going around from store to store for hours.

Enjoy the shopping sprees!

Eat All The Way at Alor Street

Jalan Alor Street Tag

Siapa yang tidak suka makan? Saya kira semua orang suka, dan tempat yang akan saya bahas berikut ini merupakan salah satu tempat terbaik untuk mencicipi Street Food di Kuala Lumpur. Beberapa dari Anda mungkin sudah mengetahui tempat yang cukup terkenal ini, ya Jalan Alor. Jalan Alor sendiri terletak di daerah Bukit Bintang, cukup terkenal untuk dicari.

Who doesn't love to eat? I supposed everyone does, and this place I'm about to share is one of the best place to eat street food in Kuala Lumpur, for sure. Some of you maybe already know about this so famous street called Alor Street or Jalan Alor, this street is located in Bukit Bintang Area.

Air Mata Kuching

Restaurant in Alor Street

Jalan Alor menawarkan Anda Street Food terbaik Asia, mulai dari makanan khas China, Thailand, dan Malaysia sendiri tentunya. Semua makanan ini akan memuaskan selera Anda. Lampu lampu terang di sepanjang jalan ini membuat suasana malam menjadi penuh kegembiraan. Setiap restoran berusaha untuk menarik perhatian pengunjung untuk duduk dan makan di tempat mereka. Kebanyakan resto mulai buka di sore hari, tapi ada beberapa yang buka selama 24 jam.

Jalan Alor will offer you Asian's best street food from Chinese, Thai and Malaysian's itself. All these foods are there to quench your appetite. This street is lighten up at night will make you feel joyous. Every restaurant will try their best to attract the passing people to eat at theirs. Most restaurant will open in afternoon but there are some that is open for 24 hours.

Alor Steam Boat

Variety of The Street Food

Di sini Anda akan menemukan mie wonton yang luar biasa enak, berbagai jenis dim sum, steam boat dan suguhan lezat lainnya. Tak lupa dengan rangkaian penjual buah buah eksotis khas Asia di sepanjang jalan, belum lagi minuman khas Malaysia seperti 'Air Mata Kuching'. Harga makanan di sini cukup murah, walau kebersihan bukanlah sesuatu yang dapat kita temui dengan mudah. Bagi Anda yang ingin mencicipi makanan Halal, ada baiknya untuk bertanya pada pelayan Anda mengenai bahan campuran dari masakannya. Beberapa menu bisa saja mengandung atau diproses bersama dengan daging babi.

Here you can find delicious wonton noodle, varied dim sum, roasted pork, and other delicious treats. Not to forget the exotic fruit stalls and Malaysian local beverages like 'Air Mata Kuching'. The price is quite cheap, although cleanliness is not something to offer. For you who eats Halal food, I suggest you to ask the waiter about the ingredients for some food may contains or processed with pork.  

Di Jalan Alor, Anda akan menemukan banyak sekali sekumpulan wisatawan saling bercengkerama dan makan bersama, sangat hidup. Suasana Jalan Alor pada malam hari cukup menarik. Tapi tempat ini terkesan sangat touristy, jadi jika Anda ingin melihat kehidupan Malaysia yang sesungguhnya, Jalan Alor bukan tempat yang tepat. Tapi tentunya, Jalan Alor merupakan salah satu tempat yang wajib Anda kunjungin di Kuala Lumpur.

In Jalan Alor, you may find several large group of people eating and talk to each other, drink beer till late night, it is so liven up. The night atmosphere of Jalan Alor is quite hype. Tough this place is very touristy, so if you want to find the real Malaysian's life, Jalan Alor is not the one. But still, Jalan Alor is one the must visit place when you visit Kuala Lumpur!

That Is It, That Thing

That is it, I want to do something with that thing.

The thing that make Edison did not want to sleep because he is so curious
I want that kind of curiosity

I want to do something with curiosity just like when Einstein discover the mystery of the world


I want to be thirsty and drink and thirsty again. I want to drink and drink everything as much as I could just to prove a point.

Just to find something in this stagnant life. Like what they said, "Life is not supposed to one place"

I do not want to be old and full of regrets. Because I don't try anything, because I don't try enough thing for my thirst. For my curiosity.

I need that thing that makes Hemingway could type his book standing still and does not feel tired at all.
I want that such of eagerness

Not just sitting lazily and waiting for the payday so I could afford an escape

I will find that thing, the thing I love more than anything. But not more than the love for my family and God.

And for everyone who is as clueless as I am about life. You are not alone, I could assure you on this. Try everything until you find it. Your purpose and mission in life.



Good luck


With love
@prettysprairie

Celebrate Tonight

Basically I just want to share this song lyric form Allen Stone called 'Celebrate Tonight'.
Listening to this song gave me some kind of chill feeling and at the same time makes me feel thrilled about life and what comes next.

I feel like everything will be alright and let's celebrate life itself for what it has already gave me.
All the happiness and sadness becomes one like a fusion. Like life is grand that we should cherish every moment, every feeling, all the success and failure. It's all a blessing in disguise. 

It's really a great song and kinda underrated by most people. So, you may try to listen and I hope the beautiful feeling that happen to me would happen to you as well. 

You can listen to the song here.
So, here's the lyric:

Everybody's feeling the strain of the nine-to-five,
Forecast is calling for rain, but we're still alive, yes, we are,
You know the sun is peeking over the clouds, and the music's tight,
Drummer playing kick-drum proud as the bass takes flight, hey, hey,

Just celebrate tonight,
There's reason to feel right,
Everyone unite,
And just celebrate tonight,

Steady, child, don't get lost in your worried mind,
Doesn't matter what it costs, matters what you find, yeah,
Forget all of the pressure from all your dead lines, hey, hey,

Just celebrate tonight,
There's reason to feel right,
Everyone unite,
And just celebrate tonight,

Don't be afraid,
'Cause the sun's still warm in the shade,
You gotta keep your chin up,
And just celebrate this day,

Just celebrate tonight,
There's reason to feel right,
Everyone unite,
And just celebrate tonight,

Celebrate tonight, yeah,
There's reason to feel right,
Everyone unite,
And just celebrate tonight, yeah,
And just celebrate tonight, everybody,
Oh, we'll just celebrate tonight.

On Death and After Life

I know death is inevitably but when the time comes how can You make sure that you're ready?
What to prepare?
What about the un-ticked bucket list?

And also, if there's life after death.
I already have list of people I want to meet.
