An Additional Concept of Home

Hi there,

It's kinda late now, sekitar jam 2 pagi; dan gak tau kenapa, gue sama sekali gak ngantuk. I have no particular intention by posting this entry, just want to show you the workspace that I'll be working at for this one year :) (well, plus the library, but I'd rather work on my sketchbook alone like any other introverted people :p)



It's small, I know... It wouldn't fit an A3 sketchbook with all the knick-knacks that I'll be using. But, I'd have to adjust myself to it (the table in the kitchen is actually A LOT bigger but, yeah...it's a KITCHEN)

The Comeback...

Akhirnya, nama "ManekinTua" ada artinya juga.
What is it, you may ask?
Let me get you up to speed.

Four months ago, I finally graduated with an IB Diploma; with a total score of 35 out of 45 (not so great when you put it this way, but all I know is when I first saw this the world just got better :D)

After that defining moment, I spent the 3 months of unemployment by producing this semi-documentary year book video with a friend of mine; lots of fun.... and stress.

Cut-to: 09/09/09
This was the day when I was overwhelmed by different sorts of emotions - and they were mostly contradictory. On one hand I was excited, on the other hand, I was scared; and sad, but happy at the same time (nah lo, bingung kan?)
It was the date of my flight to UK; and basically left Jakarta for 4 years or so (holidays don't count)

Back to the first sentence:
"Akhirnya, nama "ManekinTua" ada artinya juga."

I said this because I finally got to write about things that are actually related to fashion; well at least, about my study of fashion. So, for the next 4 years, hopefully I'll be able to pour in my thoughts into this virtual world and enjoy them to myself - or if anybody wants to read them as well, I wouldn't mind at all :p

See you in a bit!

tangan keramat

... kalau ada yang udah baca post gue sebelomnya, gue kira bencana manjatuhkan barang akan berenti di kejadian kamera. tapi.... siang ini....

gue lagi jalan menuju Gym sekolah untuk Sholat Jumat (ke tempat olahraga kok malah Sholat Jumat? ya begitulah sekolah gue) nah, karena laptop gamau ditinggal dimana-mana (dan males naik lagi ke loker untuk naro) akhirnya gue bawa ke lokasi Sholat beserta mukena gua. Lagi jalan, percakapan antar teman terjadi seperti biasa, tiba-tiba, kejadian yang sangat amat cepat terjadi... laptop gue JATOH!!!!!!!!!
gahhhhh, kaki langsung lemes, gue langsung duduk tadinya tanpa bersuara sampe akhirnya berhasil ngerengek kesel. Otak panik sekaligus takut, takut laptopnya kenapa-napa. Pas dikeluarin dari tempatnya, CD drivernya kebuka tiba-tiba, nah, panik kan, takut dalemnya ada yang patah ato apa sampe ga bisa nahan CD drivenya buat nutup, tp akhirnya setelah sedikit tenang, laptop berhasil untuk kembali ke bentuk semula. Alhamdulillah banget gak kenapa-napa. Sekali lagi, pasti ini adalah bentuk dari pemberitahuan ttg sesuatu oleh Tuhan (ceileeee), ya abis gada angin apa apa tiba-tiba jatoh aja laptopnya...


setelah dianalisa, makin kesini, barang yang gue rusakin makin mahal.
transisi dari gelas -> gelas -> kamera -> laptop -> ???

semoga yang selanjutnya bukan mobil...
amin
