PULP - Pencil Skirt

When you raise your pencil skirt
like a veil before my eyes
like the look upon his face as he's zipping up his flies
Oh I know that you're engaged to him
Oh but I know that you want something to play with baby.

I'll be around when he's not in town
I'll show you how you're doing it wrong,
I really love it when you tell me to stop.
Oh it's turning me on.

You can tell me some lies,
about the good times that you've had,
but I've kissed your more than twice,
and now I'm working on your Dad.
Oh baby.

I'll be around when he's not in town,
I'll show you how you're doing it wrong
I really love it when you tell me to stop
Oh it's turning me on.

If you look under the bed
then I can see my house from here
so just lie against the wall
and watch my conscience disappear now baby

I'll be around when he's not in town
I'll show you how you're doing it wrong
I really love it when you tell me to stop
Oh it's turning me on.

I only come here cause I know it makes you sad
I only do it cause I know you know it's bad
Oh yes I know
that it's ugly and it shouldn't be like that
Oh but oh it's turning me on.

Sophisticated Sophie Ellis-Bextor

On September 25th 2011 ago, I was going to Java Soulnation Festival day 3. I was planning to watch T-Five's performance at 4.30 PM but my boss asked me to come to office so I couldn't get there on time. I was running away at half five hahah I was really scared of missing the show. And I got there by cab. Due to senayan's near location, The cab charged me only for 10.000 rupiah but I only paid for 5.000 rupiah because the taxi driver didn't have the change. I planned to meet up with Ditto and his brother. When I was on the phone with Ditto, suddenly my Junior High mate, Jessy stopped me. She asked me to fill in the questionnaire for Trax FM. After meeting Ditto, he wanted to eat something at food-court, and then we watched Aditya's performance for a while. At 6 PM we were moving to inside Istora, queuing for Miss Sophie Ellis-Bextor. The Gate were opened at half seven but I don't know why people were pushing each other. OMG please this is Sophie's show, not Korean boyband's. When we finally got in there, the MCs asked us to sing along Indonesia Raya. Not long after that, Sophie came out and started to entertain us.

OK so the Intro was good. I thought she was gonna sing 'Heartbreak' because there's in it. The first song she sang was Dial My Number. Then she continued with Bittersweet, one of my fav songs. Not much who sang this one, I don't know why. She got the groove steady until Take Me Home. The whole crowd danced and sang together. Yes, this is her #1 hits in Indonesia. She also gave the crowd Me and My Imagination. People loved this song, though most of them only sang the same title lyrics at chorus part. A few songs after that she brought us Catch You. Oh how i love this song so much. It was a hit on early 2000's But I don't know why didn't they sing along together, where we should jumped around at this part. I tried to enjoy other songs. Seems like there was something missing. It wasn't the sound, nor the vocal. After a while, i found that the music composition wasn't really matched. Sophie's music which is basically dance music, is best fit with DJ accompaniment instead of full band. With full band accompaniment, the sound listened really bad, not blending each other. But since Sophie is beautiful, so it doesn't matter haha. Most of Indonesian fans of her tend to love her old songs. When she played Murder on The dance Floor, then the whole Istora were dancing and sing along together. Sophie sometimes put in some dances into her singing, without choreography for sure. Not long after that, Sophie medley-ed her songs Get Over You - Lady (Hear Me Tonight) - Groovejet (If This Ain't Love) - Sing It Back. For me, this was really fascinating! The remix was a groovy end of the show and successfully made the crowd uncontrollably dance just like on the dance floor. As i said before, it has to be mixed with DJ so Sophie would be looking stunning. The last song closed with Heartbreak (Make Me A Dancer). This is the song that Ditto and I had been waiting for. Though it's not really famous in Indonesia, but this song was a hit in UK. So the show of the beautiful leg lady had ended. I was a bit disappointed because she didn't bring Music Gets The Best of Me to be played. I scale 7.5 out of 10 for the performance, and 9 for her beauty :p

After enjoying the show, we moved again to food-court and met with Mahdesi and Rasyid. I was really tired so I went home approximately 1 hour after meeting them. Thanks Sophie for coming to Jakarta! :)

hal-hal yang membatalkan puasa (buat gue..)

Puasa tahun ini godaannya ada adaa ajaaa.. Dari godaan baru ada juga godaan menahun. Ada nih satu godaan yang suse banget ditahan. NGUPIL. Iya, ngupil. Menurut agama memasukkan sesuatu ke dalam lubang itu membatalkan puasa. So, ngupilpun termasuk hal yang membatalkan puasa. Ude banyak yang protes sih sama hobi gw yang satu ini. Salah satunya bokap. Bokap berkata "Kamu itu kok ngupil melulu sih? Nanti kalo punya mertua kalo diliat gimana?". Terus si Jaet "Pantes idung lo gede, ngupil mulu sik". Grrrrr dan rasanya puasa tanpa ngupil itu kayaaa.. kayaaa puasa tanpa ngupil... mmm.. ya begitulah, maksud hati ingin menggali, namun jari tak bisa memberi. 

Ada lagi cobaan yang bikin gue agak-agak emosi menjelang buka puasa. Ya, gw belom pernah nyicipin buka puasa di rumah selama weekdays. Mau pulang cepet jam setengah empat juga gak bisa nyampe rumah sebelum maghrib. Ini rumah gue yang kejauhan, jakarta makin sedeng macetnya, si komo pingsan gak ada yang nolongin, ato emang kerjaan gw yang gak bisa ditinggal sebelum jam segitu?? Yaudahlah yaaa enjoy aja puasa tahun ini namanya juga godaan. Mudah-mudahan di bulan Ramadhan ini pahala kita dilipatgandakan dengan bersabar dan positive thinking. beuuuhhh... Berasa keren B) 

Enjoy Ramadhan, mates! :)

The Cranberries at Java Rockin' Land

Honestly, I wasn't so excited about coming to this festival. But i was thinking of when will The Cranberries come again to Indonesia, many songs of them i love, and I hadn't been to international concert for quite long time. Music is my true solace. So within these busy weeks i had, i decided to come before regreting the whole things. I made an appointment with Tessa there to give her Suede's CDs she ordered from me. I met Yodha and Linda as well. As usual, before the band started the show, we all sang Indonesia Raya at the beginning. 

And so the band began. They started it with Analyze. And i sang along instead :p. That's one of my fave songs. Dolores still wore black jacket and then she took it off on the next song. They Continued with Animal Instinct. And the whole Carnaval Beach sang together. When they were about to give us Salvation, Dolores wore Apache headdress. Ha ha nice one. They brought 18 songs which are their greatest hits, and several songs from their upcoming album. And then they ended the show after played 16 songs. We knew that was just a tricky way to do the encore part. Dolores had changed her clothe into a long black dress. They were coming back and sang my most fave song off all. Yes, PROMISES. Woohoooo... This is the best Cranberries song for me :p. And the last song they played was Dreams. I like this one too though...

The show was ending at approximately 00.15 AM. I I was so exhausted but gotta find a cab to bring me home. My conclusion is, THE CRANBERRIES is STILL an Irish Legend, and i couldn't agree more :). Iscale their show 7.5 out of 10.

Simply Red - Stars

I am currently into this song so much :P

Anyone who ever held you would tell you the way i'm feeling

Anyone who ever wanted you would try to tell you what i feel inside

The only thing i ever wanted was the feeling that you ain't faking

The only one you ever thought about wait a minute can't you see that

I wanna fall from the stars, straight into your arms

I, i feel you, i hope you comprehend

For the man who tried to hurt you he's explaining the way i'm feeling

For all the jealousy i caused you states the reason why i'm trying to hide

As for all the things you taught me it sends my future into clearer dimensions

You'll never know how much you hurt me stay a minute can't you see that

I wanna fall from the stars, straight into your arms

I, i feel you, i hope you comprehend

Too many hearts are broken. A lover's promise never came with a maybe

So many words are left unspoken. The silent voices are driving me crazy

After all the pain you caused me. Making up could never be your intention

You'll never know how much you hurt me. Stay can't you see that

I wanna fall from the stars, straight into your arms

I, i feel you, i hope you comprehend
