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.

Stranger by Distance

Your current addiction and the drama.
You cannot stop obsessed about it.
And there’s a whole song about falling in love with a total stranger.

I don’t think I can understand that feeling.

But there you are, telling me stories about friends you’ve never met before.
Calling them by nicknames.
Telling daily jokes and congratulating them on milestone moments.
On text.
Via cable.

I don’t think I can understand that feeling.

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.
