Floating Colors

October went by so fast and we need to face the last week of October. I want this week to stay longer, but here we are, in the fast-moving world. Trying to survive.

So, I sum up a list of exciting things to check out below.

I have been in love with the newest Kapadokya collection from Safomasi. I wrote about them before and still fascinated by how they translate travel experience into everyday objects. The color combinations in this collection are wonderful. The combination of bright pink, orange, and blue can be a little bit tacky, but the end result is surprisingly gorgeous. My favorite piece would be the Fairy Chimney series.

Being 30

One year ago, I thought I need to celebrate my 30th birthday in an unusual way. Because hell, I will turn 30. A new chapter that anyone in the late 20s is somewhat afraid of. Especially with my kind of track record, officially jobless and unmarried.

The Late Show

To celebrate the return of David Letterman who will be hosting the upcoming talk show on Netflix, I feel the obligation to dig up this two years old draft post. The original draft was written in English, but I took the extra mile to translate it to Bahasa Indonesia, just because I want it :P

Setelah memilih kanal YouTube dibanding siaran televisi lokal selama hampir 11 tahun, saya merasa lebih bahagia untuk beberapa hal. Walaupun sebenarnya sama saja dan bisa dibilang saya menonton siaran TV lewat YouTube, tapi saya merasa bisa lebih selektif dalam memilih tayangan yang saya konsumsi. Salah satu tayangan yang gemar saya tonton adalah beberapa late night show dari US.

Hirarki late show kadang ditentukan dari seberapa malam sebuah acara ditayangkan. Semakin malam, berarti acaranya semakin populer karena waktu prime time tayangan US berada di rentang waktu 20.00 – 23.00.

Indonesian’s Foolproof Guide to Singapore – Shopping

October 11, 2017 by Prisanti Leave a comment

Setelah sebelumnya berbagi tentang tempat makan dan wisata favorit saya di Singapura, sekarang saya mau sharing tentang toko atau spot belanja favorit saya. Sebenarnya, saya kurang menangkap kenapa turis Indonesia hobi belanja di Singapura. Karena menurut saya barang-barang di Singapura harganya lebih mahal dari di Indonesia atau Malaysia. Sekarangpun beberapa merek yang suka dibeli turis Indonesia lumayan banyak yang sudah tersedia di Indonesia. Memang sih tipe barang dan variasinya lebih lengkap di Singapura, tapi menurut saya harusnya Singapura tidak lagi menjadi tempat belanja yang spesial. Tapi memang saya akui, bahwa Singapura sangat nyaman untuk dikunjungi.

Walaupun belanja di Orchard, Sommerset, dan sekitarnya terlihat sangat instagrammable dengan dekorasi yang selalu berubah setiap saat, tapi hidden gem Singapura ada di balik stasiun-stasiun MRT yang jarang disebut di buku guide. No, I’m not talking about the hipster-ish Haji Lane or Tiong Bahru. Berikut ini saya cantumkan tempat-tempat yang saya rekomendasikan untuk belanja dengan harga yang lebih miring.

The Pumpkin Season

The last two weeks were pretty exhausting for me. A lot of things happen in a short time and I cannot remember days and dates anymore. It’s a really nice feeling to be home again, waking early in the morning still tucked in a blanket staring at the ceiling while doing nothing. Finally, taking a deep breath.

October is my favorite month, simply because it is my birthday month. So, here’s a couple of things to cheer up the mood.

As a loyal Google Chrome user (who doesn’t?), I fall into the ‘tab abuser’ category. I love opening a lot of tabs and clicking a lot of related links. Palettab is beyond belief, the Chrome Extension combines fonts from Google Fonts and color palette from ColourLovers to create party every time you open a new tab. I’ve been using the extension for a long time and still inspired every single time.
