Music: What It Is
What It Is by Amy Winehouse
I can see you ahead of me but I’m not always forward thinking * I’ll tell you what you want to hear, it depends on what I’ve been drinking * Cause everything I do or say makes it hard for you to stay * We both know, What it is.
Nowadays we talk too much like you’re forgetting all the good shit * You decide whats wrong with me * I always used to let you say but now I like to think out loud * You’re running with some different crowd * We both know what it is.
I don’t know you anymore, supposed to be the man, that I live my life by * And you’re attitudes become a bore and I’m so tired, I can’t even cry, cry*
Mr Ultra Sensitive, I’ll NEVER let myself forget you * Messed each other up you know * So I’m sorry if I upset you * Tomorrow is another day so I’ll call you cause that’s OK *
Relationship doesn’t remain, we resonate on different planes * I could cut you down again if you was like all other men * If you were like all other men, I know that I could shut you down again * But my friend, but my friend, I don’t know you anymore*

Indonesia: Indonesia’s First Lady vs Myself
I love fashion and I am allergic to counterfeit. Fashion is a piece of art that is why it is very important for designer to register their trademark, therefore it would not be copied. But apparently the Indonesia’s First Lady Ani Yudhoyono loves to wear FAKE Burberry. She said that she purchased her scarf in factory outlet and the real stuff is not sold in the factory outlet but authorised shop in Senayan City or Plaza Indonesia. It is way better that she is wearing batik than fake burberry scarf. Am I right?
I think Ibu Ani needs to learn about fashion from her daughter in-law Annisa Pohan, who is a former model. What do you think?

Ztreet Queen: Abhaya Skirt
Well, some people say that there is nothing new under the sun and I would say that my design is not particularly original. But I often put a little detail on my design such as button, zipper or line.
Here it is my latest design, A-line skirt, which is made from orange and green Cambodian silk. The skirt has no waistline and use invisible zipper on the left side. And I named it Abhaya skirt, which means fearless skirt.
Somehow, I really like my Abhaya skirt because I can wear it for formal meeting or hanging out with friends. It all depends on what kind of top that I am wearing with.So what do you think?

Coming from a tropical country such as Indonesia, I used to dream to go to the Western Country to have a white Christmas. Wearing a pair of knee boots, long black stylist winter coat and colorful scarf while doing some window shopping in down town Toronto, London or New York City.
Or the idea of having outdoor Christmas tree light, snow, candy cane, Christmas gift and any other Christmas decoration in every corner of the town from the street to family house or churches to the shops, it seems that white Christmas is very magical. But I had no idea how freezing cold the winter would be.
So here I was… Christmas 2011, I went to Canada for nearly one month. Finally, I knew what the white Christmas is. Despite the fact the ambience is very magical and romantic, I must admit that winter sucks BIG TIME! It is so freaking cold! I must wear multi-layers of clothes. Geez! I am so blessed to be born and come from a place with a wonderful weather just like Indonesia.Nevertheless its suckness (that sometimes I miss), I really like Canada. It is such a beautiful yet organized place. There are so many old historical beautiful buildings (I love old historical building). While I was in Canada, I did not go to many places. I only went to Ottawa, Halifax, Toronto and Montreal.
I am looking forward to another trip to Canada but in different time of the year. Preferably during the summer time.
Anyway, here I am sharing some snapshots from my trip to North America.
