A Fun Birthday!

Two days ago, a close friend of mine was having a birthday, and the moment I stepped into the car, he told me his idea of celebrating the day was: AKS - 'Asal Kamu Senang' (in english: 'Whatever Pleases You'). So of course I went on board with his brilliant idea! LOL.

First stop! I chose to have a spa treatment, so he googled a bit and found this place called Bimasena, at The Dharmawangsa Hotel. Here's me on it's backyard. :)

4 PM, yet it's still so bright outside -_-

Ok take one more, then!

Stepping in.. It was a pretty small hotel, nice atmosphere, though. :)

Both of us had the Traditional Indonesian Massage Hydrotherapy (1.5 hour) in separate rooms because we'll be wearing paper panties only wtf. By the end of the session, the masseuse patted me on the back cos I fell asleep! Woah I reaaalllllly love her massage!! So soothing and all! :D

Next, for the sake of the AKS theme, I chose to have a hair treatment at Irwan Team's Salon which located in Grand Indonesia. But, since we didn't make any reservation, it was already packed by the time we got there. T_T

It's pretty sad cos I really love their Kerastase Treatment. This is the treatment room and a pic of me wearing the robe, taken on March haha.

But, worry not my friends, there are plenty other salons in the mall! So we got to Peter Saerang instead, got Hair Spa Treatment while slurping Soup & Spoon's delicious soups (bought them on our way to the salon). ˆڡˆ

Pampered body -checked.
Gorgeous hair -checked.
Delicious appetizer -checked.

Ah, it's time for a meal! Hahaha actually I felt pretty awful for my friend because it was his birthday and he got to do all these girly stuffs. Well in my defense, it was HIS idea to get me pleased (:b) and in my second defense, he seemed to enjoy it as well, aside from the complaining. Hahaha.

Going on, we went to Social House; full. Paulaner Brauhaus; also full. And finally went down to Ninety-Nine and got seated by the bar after waiting for a while. Haha it was a nice spot, though! Got some food and this sweet red wine that tasted REEEEEAL GOOD: Piemonte Brachetto. I love sweet wine!


Next, we were going back to the parking lot, thinking what to do next, then we passed Fun World, and yeah, it's our next activity! ♥

He just got back from the car for taking the camera, and took these pics of me playing basketball wth. Super wrong outfit for the game but, nevermind :b I scored 217 pts, btw! Hm, haven't lost my skill, apparently. Hahaha..

Lousiest karaoke ever, choosing the songs was quite a challenge with that giant remote over there T_T


And... Here's my favorite!!

Didn't ride this carousel for real anyway hehe.

Played other games some more, finally got exhausted and we decided to go home after all the fun we had. :)

He told me it was the best birthday ever lohhh hahaha! And guess what? By the time we got in my apartment's lobby, he gave me THIS:

 Containing a pretty dress, a beautiful pink rose and a thoughtful handwritten letter.


Muahahahahahaha it certainly felt like MY birthday instead of his! But anyway, like he said, it was his best birthday ever, and I couldn't agree more. ;b

Happy birthday, AB!

Have you read today's newspaper?

..cause I'm gonna tear it apart and use it as my wallpaper.

Remember my old photos back in 2009, when I used newspaper as the background?

It was all started because I entered GoGirl! Holiday Project - Celeb Pict Immitation... *I chose Bjork.

...and I got the 1st prize!!

I think I have to thank her quirkiness that made it stood out among the other contestants'!

After the photoshoot session was finished, I felt like it was such a waste to throw the papers right away.

"Why don't I use them again for another photoshoot?"

And so I did...

And again in 2011...

GOWIGASA Zebra Printed Skirt

Isn't it funny that I have the same bangs as my 2009 photoshoot?

I just realized it by the time I'm typing this.

Stradivarius Shirt

 

Faved! And no, that's not my underwear.

Just pretend you don't see the ruined paper down there.

PLUS...

 

 

Hahaha I know they are out of context (no newspaper background),

please excuse my vanity.

BIGBANG(S)

Recently I found myself drowning in Korean dramas. I can't believe it myself because I thought they were just another boring-predictable-cheesy love stories.

However, I finished THREE titles in ONE week (You're Beautiful, Dream High, and Mary Stayed Out All Night), yet there are still another five series lying around waiting to be watched wtf.

Those dramas are like dope!! I'm telling you, Korean is an expert when it comes to re-live the 'prince who rides a white horse' tales. The romantic stories, the jokes, and the FREAKISHLY handsome men are so addictive that I sacrificed my whole weekend just to watch them. There was even one day when I just sit through the series, munching some tons of snacks, PLUS I didn't even get the chance to change my pajamas.

How unproductive was that? But as John Lennon said, "Time you enjoy wasted, was not wasted." and I enjoyed every minute of it. ;)

Anyway, there were side effects from watching too many Korean dramas, as for me... I've become a big fan of JANG GEUN SUK!!! I CUT MY OWN BANGS.

At first, I didn't realize it was because of Korean dramas. I thought I just got bored with my hair style (as usual). It was until Jess teased me the other day, "It's a good thing you watched those Korean dramas, at least it made you cut your bangs." (Yep, she is such a fan of bangs).

Hm maybe she's right. Maybe I DID get influenced by those Korean girls.

These are some pictures I took to memorize my last looks when I still got side-swept bangs.

 

So this:

So which style do you think suits me better? :)

p.s. The scissors can be bought in the FoodHall for only IDR 22.000.
