Jajan Jazz after Java Jazz

7th March:


Oh man..Java Jazz on its last Sunday was awesome!!!! Manhattan Transfer was the first show we watched and had to pay extra Rp to get inside.. it was alright was quite worth it... Vice President was there as well watching it with us. So much bargaining we had to do just to get cheap tickets to get inside :p


Bubi Chen was ofcourse amazing as well!! At the age of 74..and still going strong?! That grandpa rocks!! He played awesome jazz tunes and his band was so fantastic! I thought they're from Hongkong or Taiwan or somewhere East Asia. Only later that nite I found out he's from SURABAYA, Indonesia! Wow!!


Bob James Trio was definitely the highlight of the night.. We had to squeeezzeee just to queue outside the hall.. was hot and humid..but if it's for Bob James Trio.. we'd do anything! haha *no..that's a bit extreme* :P




13th March:


By around 8.15pm we arrived at Mall Serpong in Gading Summarecon.. it's really a nice mall.. I love the courtyard .. it made me felt like I was in Singapore...or Bandung.. or anything but Jakarta...awesomeness! Then mr D *mr dentist, 29 years of age - came to see us.. People had been saying he's interested in me but.. I couldn't feel the chemistry..it's just ain't there..sad..sorry Mr.D . So I heard he closed his clinic early to meet us that night, and I noticed he'd been smiling and all that to me..but hmm.. was I being mean or what? It's just a Big NO. Mum had been saying he's a really nice guy, family guy, financially stable blablabla..but who can deny what the heart is really feeling? I can't. Sorry Mum.

By 9.30pm we arrived at the Jajan Jazz Festival.. My piano tutor performed there.. The timetable ran VERY late, so he performed at around 11pm..but that's alright..coz it was worth the wait. His band was super awesome.. Really Really Really GOOD~ !! That was like a fresh air to my ear and heart after all the bitchiness I went through last week.


Then we took photos and congratulated him and the band. Seriously, they're the most good-looking jazz musos in that festival (and the most good-looking jazz musos in any festival I've ever been to). How often do you find good looking young talented musos all in one band other than poppish-rockish bands? We're talking about jazz here ;).


And the guitarist been noticing us two (my sis and i)..and made some introduction.. He's not bad looking at all.. From a far when the spotlight was on him, he looked like some kind of Korean actor..but when the spotlight was off..he's not as good looking haha..but still looked pretty cool with all that British-preppy outfit ..Oh and I think he's interested in my sis..HAHA.. he asked her , her age. .when he heard she's only 21, he was kind of surprised, he looked like 25++..Anyway..I think my sis kinda like him as well.. he's her type..;P

Public Holiday and a Birthday


I had a pleasant public holiday yesterday. I was waiting for my piano tutor but he didn't come and didn't even call me or text me why he's not coming.. Doh! But it wasn't a big deal .. coz I was looking forward meeting some old friends from Perth :)))

By around 2pm, the four of us arrived at Social House, Grand Indonesia. We ordered lunch, talked, toilet, talked, coffees and desserts, laughed, talked.. and time flew! It was 5.30pm already! We were going to watch a movie, but we opted for karaoke instead. So a friend of mine wanted to go to an ATM, we went to the food court area and saw RED MANGO. *i'm a yogurt frenzy these days*. My girlfriend and I ordered a Blackberry twist with mochi+coco crunch+strawberry as toppings. It was yummyy..I'm liking mochi now :D. It was quite funny how we girls walked really fast *according to the two guyfriends who walked behind us*..They really looked like two old men walking haha ;P.

Then by 7pm we arrived at Happy Puppy Karaoke somewhere in PIK.. It was one fun karaoke moment.. After two hours karaoke-ing, we went for leko in PIK as well. It was a nice area - PIK - . One of my guyfriends dropped me home (although we got lost for a little while around Pluit area..haha coz we entered the wrong freeway)

Arrived home about 10 30pm.. watched Take Me Out Celebrity and Mario Lawalata was thereee.. Oh seriously, he's the most good-looking indo man I've ever seen on tv/magazines/real life. A friend bbm-ing me saying he's on that show and told me not to be heart broken coz he's about to get a date from that show... Haha..oh well, I'm not a freak, okay?! Ofcourse I realize and know very well that he's a star and it's just for eyecandy ;). God..if i ever have a son, let him look like Mario hahaha ;D *to have a spouse as good looking as him would be hard to maintain..ahemm*

TODAY:
is Sis' bday..her three besties came over for a surprise bday bash. Who knew they've grown so big now and looking handsome..Aww..:) Three little brothers grown up already. So the procedure was all of them hid in the guest room downstairs and wait for my sis. As soon as my sis was downstairs, they opened the door, brought the cake lit up and sang "Happy Birthday".. that was so sweet of them :). And it was cute how they don't know how to call me.. just Agnes or with "Ci" xD


Anyway..I'm quite addicted to this one novel by Hannah Pakula about "The Last Empress" (Madame Chiang Kai-Shek)..I'm on page 126 now.. It's soooo addictive..I love biographies!

Good night blog! These two days r not stressful days.. I'm quite happy :)
