Plaza Senayan Palm Award 2013

This should be posted long time ago. And has been save as draft for two months. Blame me on my laziness to blog. As I wrote in my previous post, I joined Plaza Senayan fashion competition and be one of the finalists, I attended five days quarantine of Palm Award 2013. Meeting new people whom adore fashion, and made friend with them. It's my very first time joining fashion competition, bet you can imagine how excited I am. Luckily I have Wiha with me, because she's one of the finalist too. I think five days passed so fast. Well, It's a little tired at first, because you know I just get back from bf's hometown before heading for quarantine. But I do enjoy every moment, and I'd rather call it a holiday instead of quarantine.

See how I arrange all my stuffs.

On our third day, we visited Textile Museum in Jakarta. Instead of listening to the guide showing us types of Batik, we were being camwhore around the museum.

And comes the D-day! At the backstage, snap snap and snap!

Well, you can hardly see the dress is way to short for the model. I felt so disappointed about that. Guess I have to work harder in the next competition. Sorry for the image quality, that is all I have.

I am joining another competition, wish me luck ! :)

Flooding Week

I suppose to call it worst weekend since it was flooding in Jakarta. In fact, I found it better than I could imagine. First day when flood hit Jakarta, it feels like hell! I was staying at home the whole day, thing get worse once the electricity has been shut. As much as I hate darkness, I have to bear sleeping in dark (without air conditioner!) The next day, I was thinking no matter what I should get the hell out of my dorm. So I decided to evacuate. Together with my housemate, we rode trash cart! Yeah, you heard me. As soon as we saw flood getting higher, we leave. I admit riding the trash cart is unforgettable experience. Though we're ashamed, we can't resist the laugh. 

Flood everywhere!

Wish for Cinderella cart, and this came up! 

Enough with the flood. After evacuate to a friend's apartment. I met up with my lecturer and some seniors from Limkokwing. Most of them can't make it because of the flood. Ms. Melina is 'not really' teaching me. But she really help me a lot during my finals. She's so expert in pattern making and garment construction. Though Im not good at sewing and pattern making, somehow I wish I could've done better when I was in college. Oh! Really miss the college life.

After chat at Coffee Bean, we headed to Kafe Betawi, Indonesian restaurant. 

Another story of the flooding week is I met new people and make friends! :)

I admit I am a terrible diet person. MEAT is so hard to resist. This is just another outing with Marisa & Tiffany. We are truly carnivore!!!

Kondangan Peranakan Tionghoa

Last night I was invited to Kondangan Peranakan Tionghoa to celebrate the first year anniversary of ASPERTINA, a chinese descendants association of Indonesia. Held at Hotel Mulia, Jakarta with the chinese culture wedding as the theme. I was so excited finding the match outfits to attend the party. So, I specially make a skirt from batik. Which I modified from dress. I put a lot of afford though it. Luckily it ended the way I want. Here's the picture of my handmade batik skirt.

Outfit of the night

Basically it's a fashion show. But I didnt get the runway picture, because it way too far from my table. Another thing is it serves the Peranakan food which is so much alike with Indonesian Melayu cuisine.

The atmosphere is bringing me back to my hometown wedding party. Everything from the lighting and decoration are so 'Medan'.

I come to represent VOICE+, the magazine I work for. Luckily, I was accompanied by a colleague who helped me a lot during the interview. And he managed to take some pictures from the runway collection.

Legally 21

Yesterday was my birthday. Yeah! Im officially 21. Like finally :)

My wishes remain the same. May all my family and friends stay healthy and lovely. If there's an addition, it'll be my career. I hope everything will go smoothly years ahead. Not to mention a simple love life :)

So, we had a little celebration yesterday. Pizza party with my colleagues. And a 'probably brunch' at Kitchenette with my besties Wiha and Marissa.

Place is quiet fancy, the food doesn't taste so good, but service is satisfy.

Thanks Mar for the present :*

Happy birthday to me! =)

Thanks for the cake! :)
