AKB48 and JKT48 at Plaza Senayan
Monday, February 27, 2012
Today I went to Plaza Senayan to check out the Japan Pop Culture Festival 2012.
I wanted to see the cosplay and AKB48 also JKT48!
Well, I missed the cosplay events... I went to PS and ate at Mos Burger. After eating, I struggled to find a space amongst the crazy crowd and finally settled on the second floor railing. When I reached there, the event was JKT48 showing off their outfit coordinates.
Then there was a looong break.........
And finally AKB48 appeared!!!!!!!!
When I watch them it makes me feel happy and light.
I remembered my experience in a maid cafe in Japan. The maid told us that a maid is forever 17. Because 'this is a fantasy world for everyone. People come here to be happy and forget their troubles'.
Since AKB48 is a product of Akihabara, they no doubt follow the same concept.
I wish Perfume would come to Jakarta next!!!!

And finally AKB48 appeared!!!!!!!!
I have never listened to their songs or seen them before I just know their name. But when they went on stage, escorted by a whole pack of security guards in neon green vests, I became sooo excited! Then they appeared in the white light of the stage looking all slim and clean and beautiful!
So... thanks to that event, I went home and checked out a lot of AKB48 stuffs and now I like them! Though... I only like one song enough to put it in my iTunes, which is this:

Today I found out about this event!
Details are in the poster. I'm happy it will be in Plaza Senayan, which is easily accessible~
Also I did a bit of research on JKT48 and I think two of the members are pretty! Rena, the only Japanese in JKT48, and Melody, the leader. I'm surprised that Rena is only 13 years old. I think she will become really popular after this debut.
I also watched their commercial for Pokari Sweat and the ad quality is so nice~~
Love the first scene with the long shot and the girls running across the sand.
Also love the final scene. Melody looks beautiful there!

Maid Cafe in Jakarta??
Monday, February 20, 2012
Today I went to Sushi Tei at Plaza Senayan and was shocked to see this!
O_O
"Serving You Soon..."
*moe pose*
O_______O
I can't believe it! Don't know when it is opening. I hope the waitresses are actually going to be cute like the one on that picture though. I'm a bit unsure and all but if it is going to be good then I can't wait because more Japanese culture in Jakarta makes me love this place more and more.
In fact, today I was sooooo shocked to see Natural Beauty Basic brand in SOGO dept store today!!!!! I was damn hyped and bought myself an utterly overpriced (but cute) skirt. When I went home I regretted it. I won't say the price of the skirt but it's enough to shame me lol. I'm going to go on a diet for half a month to make up for the expense (win-win situation..hahhaha).
I only knew NBB from their advertisements which are by PERFUME!!!! LOVE THEM!!!
So the marketing bait totally hooked me blind and I bought me a pretty darn expensive skirt.
To make myself feel better I went home and gave a full-blown quirky fashion show for my grandpa. He kept laughing and laughing and telling me how I dress myself well. I was being pretty ridiculous but it made him laugh a lot so I gave him 3 different fashion coordinates. lol! Love my cute grandpa!
Anyway
I'm sure going to that maid cafe and I hope it's good! Are you?

Look at that. Isn't she cute? Peeking at me from up the stairs. If you happen to think she is in a weird position, well, those two white things hanging down the stairs are not her legs... Well, one is, but the other is her ear.
School was bliss. Why? Because it was only from 8am to 11am. Great isn't it? I went to Plaza Senayan after school, looking for an organizer. I saw one in Puri yesterday and wanted to buy it but I thought perhaps there will be better ones in Kinokuniya. So I left it first.
On the way to Plaza Senayan, I ran out of drinking water. It was hell. My throat was like... burning. And... whew. I don't know. My throat is dehydrating really quickly today. I wonder why.
My throat hurt so much, I was scavenging any single droplet of water I could get gold of.
So! I reached Kinokuniya. Saw several organizers here and there. Then I saw these:
Well. Cushion-y texture... pretty colours... and bling. Oh and if you're wondering, the excessive shiny-ness of the organizers is caused by the plastic bag it was in. Not the leather... thing. I had a hard time deciding. I tried holding each of the books in my hands.
Black... too gothic for some very odd reason
Pink... too girly for my brute hands
White... too... bright? For my skin colour?
Okay bad excuses but hey. Point is, none of them seem to suit me. I know I'm being as picky as a lady trying to get her wedding dress. It is just an organizer after all. But since buying one of those will cost me Rp. 259, 000, I should be picky, shouldn't I?
In the end, after calling Susan and having long discussions, I decided not to buy it. The organizer I saw in Puri will be my choice.
On the other side of things... Kinokuniya has many Japanese-y things. Such as these pencil boxes:
Oh crap. If it were me from a year ago, I would go hyper and buy all 3 pencil boxes. However! I think my taste has changed O_o ... I am no longer madly into Japanese objects. Well, still am, but not to that standard. What has happened to me that I would actually prefer simple, clean designs?
Mad isn't it? Anyway. Remember I mentioned the difficulty of finding music sheets for violin in Jakarta? Well, Kinokuniya has a rather large collection of music sheets... well, not that large. Compared to the ones in Gramedia it is. Alas, they are, as expected, mostly for piano. And orchestras. I couldn't find one book for violin solo. I did see a book on Vivaldi - The Four Seasons (complete with the CD), but I wasn't too sure about it. It was sealed, I was too lazy to ask.
So after looking through four racks, I conclude that there isn't a single damn book solely on Violin solos. If there was, it slipped.
After long hours in Kinokuniya, I didn't actually buy a single item. I went back home, planning to go to Puri Mall to get my organizer. But before that, I did some... self-photo taking.
I have to say, again, even though I've said it before on my Mobile Blog, that my nose is actually mancung (Gosh what is that in English again?) when seen from a 45 degrees angle! My actual nose is... round and ... bulbous... well.
And here is me hugging a big white doll (she does look like one doesn't she?):
What is so hard about taking pictures with your dog? IT FRIKIN MOVES:
and moves:
After all that, I left for Puri Mall. Went to Gramedia, and took out the organizer, which I had placed at the very corner of the rack so I wouldn't forget. And here it is!
=_= I'd be lucky just to get a single shot where Gucci is not blurred and is actually facing the camera. Oh wow she looks gigantic in the photos doesn't she?
And here are the three foxy (right) ladies of the household:
Whoa my Mom is super white-skinned. She looks like those Chinese ladies from olden days in this picture. Her skin is almost as white as Gucci's fur. Shocker.
Change of venue! I moved on to my indoor garden, where it was really sunny, and everything looks warm coloured:
Ha! I like that picture!
It was so sunny in fact, that I decided to... suntan! In the middle of the broad daylight, at a garden, yes.
Oops. Forgot to rotate that. Well whatever. Point is, that's me lying down, enjoying the sun.
And as I looked up, I was unexpectedly faced by this beautiful blue sky:
After all that, I left for Puri Mall. Went to Gramedia, and took out the organizer, which I had placed at the very corner of the rack so I wouldn't forget. And here it is!
Oooh I find it very classy. Grey cloth, and dark brown leather for the thing that encloses it.
Additionally, I also bought some super cheap (approx. Rp 8,500 each) stickers at Gramedia! Everything is cheap there! In Kinokuniya, stickers are Rp 45,000, and some Rp 75,000. Crazy isn't it?
Aaah I haven't bought stickers in so darn long. I got myself three sets, for the sole purpose of decorating the pages of my organizer.
Next, I wanted to buy something more girly to tone out my organizer. After a long time searching, I saw this, sold at a mere price of Rp. 20,000! There was a really cute Hello Kitty keychain with large roses and cute pink stuff in another store, but it costed Rp. 75,000, which I am so not going to get. So in the end I got this white-pink-gold-pearl-beads-cute thing:
Then, I attached it to my organizer. How did I do it, you ask? Long story. It's better not telling, but it involves attaching, detaching, strings, scissors, and knots. Here is the final product:
A touch of Japanese cuteness!
Oh and, I also bought a pen especially for the organizer. Here it is:
Can't spot it? There:
Ah yes I'm very happy with the results. SPEAKING OF RESULTS, I almost forgot to mention, I got a 19.5/20 for my Australian legal studies essay on Tort of Negligence!!! YAAAAAY!!!
Oh and back to the organizer. Yep, I'm planning to use it when I get to Australia. I guess people use electronic stuffs to replace organizers now, but I like it nonetheless and prefer paper to touch screens. In this situation only.
Oh and hey look, it was sunny before, now it's raining like mad:
UPDATE:
I think Sammy's depression virus has gotten into me. Yes, I was very hyped about going to Melbourne to study. It feels as though once I reach there, I am going to start a completely new and foreign life. It would be exciting, exuberant, challenging. I can hardly wait. That was, until, when I mentioned it to my Dad, he gave me a mournful expression.
Of course I know who would be the saddest for my departure to Australia. Obviously my Dad. And I feel that if it weren't for his sorrow, I wouldn't even be sad right now. I'm not sad leaving, but I'm sad because... well, just thinking about my father crying (which I bet for sure he will) for me, is just too heartbreaking. I know what kind of person he is. I hope he will continue living a good life happy even though both his children won't be there with him. I hope he will take good care of my Mom, and, as silly as it is, I hope Gucci can, even if just a little, fill the empty voids of his son and daughter. That is why I've been trying hard to make Mom and Dad fond of Gucci.
...okay Sammy your disease really got to me.
Anyway, after a while of bawling on the floor, I'm back here typing. Well, just to close up... I will go to Australia, study dilligently, gain lots of experiences, make my parents proud and show them their efforts so far haven't gone to waste. I don't know what awaits me in the future. But I'll accept any challenge they throw at me.
Good luck to me.
