Musical Life of Hushgirl

I always been a baladewa. Meaning, a fan of the band from Indonesia, Dewa 19 or Dewa. I started listening to them seriously since 2000 with the album Bintang Lima with Once as the band vocalist. I was in the College at that time and shared my love to Dewa with my partner in crime Iqie. She was so into Once cuz that's definitely her type. Well not for me. My type is always on someone like Armand Maulana of the band Gigi.  So lately, actually it was like 2 weeks ago. I was driving back to KL and since I'm not really a radio person, I put on this mixed tape of mine. It was actually a cd. And I named it as Rock 18. Cuz my favorite age is 18 ! I completely forgot what songs included in the cd, so every song seemed like a surprise until the 4th song.. Which is Risalah Hati from the albumn Bintang Lima.  Which I really diggggg and it is now playing in my playlist. What a coincidence! So I became so into Once's voice. To me it was soothing and powerful at the same time.  As I rea...

Early morning we woke up and packed our bags. I was fully dressed up when I saw Edu stood by our cottage. I smiled and told Ma that Edu was there. She talked to Edu and asked him to arrange for our transport back to Lombok. Lucky Sam would take us back.  I had lempeng for breakfast! Paid the cottage fees to Bernard and he asked if I ever been to Paris. I said nope, but someday! Pancake or lempeng with Lombok honey. Delish! Bernard sent us to the gate and Edu n other boys helped us carry the bags to the boat. We took glass bottom boat owned by Sam's brother to Sira. A beach in Lombok. Only 10 mins from Gili Air.  My rose Osprey! Bye bye Gili Air I will be back!!!! See at the back .. That's Mount Agung in Bali. So from Sira, Sam took us to Mataram using Beach route. So we passed by Malimbu hill to see the 3 Gilis,  Mentigi beach that to me looks still virgin and we passed by Warung Ikan Bakar at Nipah. Ma didn't want to try it cuz she said she was full. I dun mind, I know I...

On the 3rd day in the island, me and Ma decided to gor for a spa. But too bad, it was Friday and it seems like the spa is closed cuz the staff went back home. I didn't get it. But I was been told that way. So I took it as Friday could be the Sunday for the islanders. Maybe?  Also, the island seems quiet .. Like many people has left. We didn't do much as we wanted that day to be chillin n relaxin day. I was thinking to go on bicycles around the island, but didn't want to leave my mom alone. Maybe next trip?! Hihi So we walked to the left side of the Sejuk junction. And walked all the way to Gusung Indah beach bar and bungalows. I completed reading 1st part of the book - eat pray love. I borrowed from the hotel.  Back in the hotel, I went up to the Lumbung, finished the book and snored a little . Lol.  In the evening, get wet in the pool and Andes came by and brought us a very nice Bakso.  For dinner, we went to Ali Baba beach bar to have some seafood grilled.  La...

I was too ambition thinking to complete blogging on my 5 days trip last nite. Indeed I wasn't thinking for any part 2 or 3.  Oh well.  1st night in Gili Air was splendid. It was a night of isra' mikraj. We could listen to a man giving tazkirah in the mosque until 2 or 4 am. I wasn't too sure. That night back from dinner, Ma talked to Edu about the snorkeling trip for the next day. Later then, Edu came and confirmed the plan. Ma asked him to buy  for her a SIM card and off he went to the store. So helpful! Few minutes later he came and told us that tonight, there were a beach party. I joked and said Ma udah capek. And he continued to joke around and ask my mom if he could take me to the party. I pretend not to listen to him. Later we chill out at the room balcony and tried to fix my mom tab. He asked why I didn't want a SIM card to myself. I told him, I don't need any internet as much as my mom need. He just smiled and looked rather impressed.  The next morning was s...
