A New Beginning

Hey all, it's December 30th already. And since I'm not gonna be here tomorrow night to say it, I'll just tell you now

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011!!

Well honestly, 2010 hasn't been my best year, but it's still very memorable. Maybe I'm gonna list down some things I hope I'll never ever forget.

1. I joined Media Siswa in my school, and it's one thing that I never regret. I met some really cool friends who also love the things I love, such as photo editing and other Media-Siswa-things.

2. I went to Anyer with X-G and it was so so fun. Really.

3. I watched Boys Like Girls and JakJam'10 Day 2 Concert. And I won the meet&greet quiz on twitter so I had the time of my life hugging Andrew Richards from HelloGoodbye :"D

4. I went to Universal Studio Singapore on school days. And not just any school days, they were 2 days of mid-term exams :p

5. TESIS with 8 2012. It was one of the best memory in my high school life. :)

Actually, there are still many more things I wish I'll never forget, but some of them are just too... personal hehe. Anyway, I'm wishing you all will have a great year ahead. Happy New Year everyone! :D

The Book of Tomorrow

Have you ever read a book, that by the time you finished it, you feel like there's a part of you that has changed? That you finally realized this was the right book for you? Well I have. I just finished it this morning. This book titled The Book of Tomorrow.

"I think that most people go into bookshops and have no idea what they want to buy. Somehow, the books sit there, almost magically willing people to pick them up. The right person for the right book. It’s as though they already know whose life they need to be a part of, how they can make a difference, how they can teach a lesson, put a smile on a face at just the right time."

This book is about an almost-17 years old girl named Tamara who was used to get everything she ever wanted since his dad was a very successful man. But then her dad died and she had to lose everything. Her mother and she moved to her uncle's house, Arthur in the country. Her uncle's wife, Rosaleen, was a very odd woman who at the end, you'll know that she'd been hiding so many secrets.

Tamara was very bored. She didn't have any friends there. But then she found this book, a locked and old book, from the traveling library. She couldn't open it, until she met Sister Ignatius, a friendly 70 years old nun, who could unlock the key. And what she found on that book, was a diary of 'Tamara of Tomorrow'. The book told her some things that will happen on the day after she read it. And there her world changed.

Not to spoil the ending but that part was very unpredictable. She finally found out the truth about herself and her family. And she finally realized, that she was actually a lucky girl.

"All families have their secrets, most people would never know them, but they know there are spaces, there are gaps where the answers should be, where someone should have sat, where someone used to be."

This is a highly recommended book about how tomorrow can change today. So now, can you please go to a bookstore near you, take this book, then bring to the cashier and pay it? ;)

The City That Has It All

Paris. People say it's the city of lights. The place for lovers. The most romantic city ever. The fashion capital of the world. The home of croissants. It's one city that makes me scream 'OH MY GOD I WANNA GO THERE!!!' It's an old city filled with classical buildings. Museums and statues all over the town. Like Eiffel Tower. Or the Louvre, where you can find that famous Mona Lisa painting. This city is rich of its art, beauty, and architecture.

I want to sit outside the cafe on the street. I want to walk around its beautiful park and sit on the bench when I get tired. I wanna go to the top of Eiffel Tower and see Paris from above. I wanna see those street musicians and artist, and go to that famous Opera Garnier. I wanna hop on a boat of the Seine River and feel the windy air. I wanna see that historical Arc de Triomphe. Go to one of the oldest cathedral and most gothic architecture, Notre Dame Cathedral.

Oh Paris. I hope someday I will be able to see you with my very own eyes!
