Well obviously the first place I would recommend anyone who hasn't been to Indonesia before is to stop over Bali. It has the most beautiful beaches in the world. No kidding!

But I highly recommend these two places:

Situ Gunung, Sukabumi and Puncak, Bogor.

They're not really well known to the outside world, but believe me when I say they are the most breathtaking places in this world. Personally, I've never been to Situ Gunung before (even though I only live an hour away from there back in Indonesia) but the stories I've been told makes up for it. Let these pictures by Rarindra Prakarsa (Shot I | Shot II | Shot III) explain my reason why you should head to Situ Gunung.

Puncak is a must see too. A popular destination for the native Indonesians. Lovely mountain sceneries, lots of tea fields and it's also my dream place for my wedding reception XD But really, it's such a beautiful place to visit, especially on a nice sunny day.

I'M BACK FROM JUPITER!!!

And I've just uploaded two covers this morning from yesterday. Can I just say how scary it is having fast internet? Well...I find it disturbingly scary because now...I know...I'll be watching more videos than ever. God, help me!!

Anywho, here I present "Nagareboshi" - Nakashima Mika and "Heavenly Psycho" - Kanjani8.

About time I covered one of Kanjani8's song ^^

The internet literally died on me for a day and magically sprung back to life.

Stupid technology >=|

So how is everyone going? Hope you Sunday has been as enjoyable as mine =)

But I'd like to start on...Tuesday. Beside the fact that my infatuation took over me that night, I really enjoyed watching "ハンサム★スーツ" (The Handsome Suit) It is FUCKING hilarious! Cheesy love comedy...I think only the Japanese movie industry can pull it off XD There were familiar faces there: Kitagawa Keiko-san and one I didn't see coming, Yamamoto Yusuke-san. Oh his character was such an ass. But I loved it!! One movie I'll definately purchase soon! Can I ask, is it that unbelievable that I'm 18? Everyone thought I was like...23 or something and when I told them I'm only 18 they all burst out in awwww. Especially the lovely Rebecca-san. I'm now officially the baby of the class. Great *le sigh*

Friday was splendid. 'twas Eid and spent it shopping with parents and then hanging out with Fariz and Zain. I miss hanging out with them boys. It's never been the same when Ameerah and Pigar left the scene. But Team Jar2 has gone strong. Went cruising around the Eastern suburbs...mainly Bondi Junction and Kingsford. Maccas Kingsford got my McFlurry mixed up with someone's Strawberry Sundae but that was all fixed up in no time =)


Saturday went to watch two more Japanese films with Sarah-san and Emily-san: "夕凪の街　桜の国" (Yuunagi City, Sakura Country) and "ブタがいた教室" (School Days with a Pig). The first is about a survivor of the Hiroshima bombing, Hirano Minami and the tale slowly goes to her younger brother, Ishikawa Asahi. More familiar faces: Sakai Masaaki-san (Monkey!!!!). I just realised, Tanaka Rena-san and Kanari Yuta-san were both in "にぃにのことを忘れないで" (Niini no Koto wo Wasurenaide) with my lovely Nishikido-san. Small world I tell you. No wonder they looked so familiar XD

School Days with a Pig is about a 6th grade class looking after a pig for a whole year and then promising their teacher that they'll consume the pig once they graduate. It is such a sad tale of life and the decisions we must face in life. The kids were so...articulate...I don't think I was able to makesuch decisions or be so opiniated when I was their age!!! Scripted, I know, but this film is loosely based on a documentary which I find more fascinating. What surprised me even more was their hot teacher played by Tsumabuki Satoshi-san...I did not realise it was the same man I fell in love five years ago in "Waterboys".

Why didn't anyone tell me it was Suzuki-san from "Waterboys"?!?!?!

My god I fell off my seat when I found out it was him. The love of my life back in year eight...we finally meet again ^^ Looking much more finer than before I see!

It made me want to watch the movie again...which I have XDD

But anyways, both films made the three of us shed tears and we decided to call it a day and not watch anymore films. Yup. Going to buy them two as well.

And Lazy Sunday...went cruising around the city + Bondi with my lovely ohmonika Was planning on lomoing though that kind of failed. Maybe next time dear ^^ But I did have a splendid time with her like always...even showed her the macaroons at Kinokuniya which made her smile.

You know...speaking of lomo, I might drop by to the lomo store at Paddington before my Japanese class on Tuesday and get my pictures developed. Lovely idea, Isrien =D

Anywho, dinner time!
