No I Never Meant To Do You Harm

the lightning, oh so damn fantastico!

must be "Yellow". always do the same in any part of the world
whoops, funnyman Chris!

look at the butterfly confetti!

I miss my Hong Kong moments

You can never argue with me that I love Coldplay and I love London and I love Wembley. And that shows how I really hate the fact that Coldplay Live at Wembley Arena was beyooooooond divine!

For the love of my (future) UCL seniors aka Martin, Berryman, Champion and Buckland


the view from my seat

the view from my seat



God, help me breathing to write this post.

I abso-bloody-lutely still remember every minute of it. 250309, Wednesday.

Chris is, undoubtedly, Mr. Gwyneth Paltrow and I can say that Gwynnie was just sooooo fuckin lucky. The American mass media might say she's blablabla for marrying this English bloke after someone like Brad Pitt, but seriously, Chris is a lot more handsome in person!!

No, I'm not being such a smart ass because I really saw him clearly in front of me. I smelt Guy's perfume (perfume doesn't sound right for a man, but, who cares really). The mini-stage was right on my left-hand side. I don't think I spoke, neither do I think that I breathed.

What makes me write this post? Well, today during lunch break, Erin and Aya came to my class and suddenly we sang "Yellow". It makes me sing all Coldplay songs I know for the rest of the day and all of a sudden... I got the vibe back! I have seen some artists before, I saw Fergie and she was amazing, but nothing is as great as Coldplay!

Their 2-days in a row Wembley gigs is on September 19th! I wish I still stay there until then! I wanna see Chris' funny English jokes again, or Guy's superhot beard and of course, the vibe! Click here for more scoop.
Here's a glimpse of what Mr. Martin said.

Of going to sing 'The Hardest Part': "So, let me tell you. During the tour we actually have our solo moments for each of the members. sometimes it's Jon, could be Will or Guy. But for tonight, it's my turn, so, unlucky for you (laughs). Aren't you disappointed to see just me here? while the rest of the band is backstage, drinking, smoking cigarettes (laughs) texting girlfriend or sometimes wife... (laughs) Anyway, I wonder if anyone in this room has been to England, or UK, or London particularly? (YEEESSS) Because it seems like y'all understand my English accent, sorry for talking in this horrible accent all night. But you do, understand right? (YEESSSSS) Because sometimes it's hard to understand some London expressions if you haven't been there while I'm used to using it since we're in college. That will makes me feel like a twat (I don't know the correct spelling, pardon me, i'm no good in London slang) And because if you don't understand English, or if you don't speak it, that's not good. (laughs) Anyway, This is inarguably my 'Phil Collin's moment', I grew up listening to him anyway. So let's just take a relaxing breath and this is actually not the hard part. Because the next song is called 'The Hardest Part'."

At the end of 'Yellow': "Somebody please give a balloon, I need a balloon!" (then he blew out the ballon so the confetti fell right to him, very beautifully)

After singing the end of 'Violet Hill' jokingly: "Thanks for coming here just to watch Coldplay tonight. Because I don't even know where this place is on the map, it's very far from the city or where you live, it seems like in the middle of nowhere..." (laughs)

While singin 'In My Place': "...in Hong Kong, in Hong Kong..."

What makes me Coldplay the most? The fact that they went to Gower St. while I used to spend days in Gordon St. <3>

Music Gigs I'd Kill To Watch

#1. Damien Rice
Lullabies that have brought me to a lot of places; dreams, realities, knowledge (not school subjects). Helped by fellow Irish songtress with angelic voice Lisa Hannigan, I'd definitely kill for this one! (I even followed him on Twitter!)

#2. The Virgins
You who haven't heard of this band might live under the rocks or something. They've been heard in Gossip Girl, the sexy frontman Donald Cumming has been rumored to date Peaches Geldof, and they're one of Cory Kennedy's favorite! Definitely one of the best in New York music scene (from a lot of NY bands, as seen on Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist)

#3. Green Day
I always thought that they will never come near Indonesia.... however, maybe someday they will!

#4. Radiohead
The greatness of how they sound, cleverness of their lyrics, must be clear enough to explain their awesomeness.

#5. John Mayer
Womanizer, Grammy's Best Male Vocal... well, no need further reason.

#6. James Morrison
Cheesy? Who fucking cares. Love him as much as we love Jim Morrison! ...I never thought that I'd love someone/that was someone else's dream...

#7. Kanye West
The best rapper I know, musically and attitude-ly.

#8. Arctic Monkeys
Nggak ada ampun, HARUS HARUS HARUS! The only band that I even buy their EPs.

#9. Maroon 5
Shit mereka hanya ke Singapore waktu itu. Kapan ke Indonesianya, Mr. Levine?

#10. Coldplay
Well, it's not funny if I don't put them in the list considering what I'll be doing in the next few days :D

don't PLAY while it's COLD

God I hate this fckin day!! Biology and German test today, chem test tomorrow, math on Monday and physics on Tuesday....... shoot me now.

Ditambah lagi masuk jam 1. Ugh maunya apa sih sekolah gue.

AND COLDPLAY! UGH DAY TO DAY THESE BOYS JUST RUINING EVERYTHING GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

i've let go almost all that lovely things--konser Rihanna, java jazz festival, another eurotrip in summer with family--just for these 4 British blokes and now it's getting even more frustrating.

daaaays before today, masalahnya terletak pada nyokap gue.
"Jauh banget sih kamu mau nonton Coldplay aja pake ke mana-mana tauk!"
setelah luluh:"Tunggu ya, mama lagi cari tiket pesawat yang murah."
setelah mulai mencari:"Cari hotel dulu."
setelah lama nggak ngebahas:"Aduh tiket pesawatnya cuma dapet 1, satunya lagi waiting list. apa kamu sendiri aja?" (ya nggak mungkinlah ma, daddy won't allow me!)
kemarin:"Dapet dek tiketnya, hotelnya juga. kamu tinggal cari tiketnya ya!"

gue, kemarin: YAAAAYYYY!! GOD I KNOW YOU LOVE ME, AND I REALLY LOVE YOU BACK!

terus, pagi ini, gue pesan tiket. semuanya lancaarrrr sampai akhirnya nyampe deh di titik ini.
dia (si internetnya) bilang, kalau nanti setelah klik bayar halamannya gagal tampil, email ke contact-nya atau telepon ke nomernya (gila ya masa gue disuruh telepon ke hongkong, gue aja ga bisa bahasa cina apalagi suruh pake hokkian) DAN BENER AJA GITU. failed. ugh.

padahal udah masuk shopping cart-nya, udah ditulis sih gue udah beli gitu ya, but i still don't know what to do now!!! kewl.
gue takutnya, credit card nyokap udah keburu dipotong. sementara sekarang masih jam 09.23, mau telepon ke sana juga baru mulai kerjanya jam 10.00 (fyi, no time gap between HK and JKT)

somebody heeeeelp me!
