RIP Leslie Nielsen (1926 - 2010)

I just sit in front of my computer at the office, when i suddenly saw the news.

Leslie Nielsen, the star of "Naked Gun" died yesterday, November 28, 2010.

He died at the age of 84 by complication arising from pneumonia.

He died on his sleep.

That's how i want if i die, too.

It shocks me a lot. He is my most favorite comedian ever.

I even wish that i could be his grand-daughter.

I love the way he put the jokes in his words while making a serious face.

He starts his career in dramatic roles on television during what is now known as "Television's Golden Age", appearing in almost 50 live programs in 1950 alone. He appeared in over 100 films and 1,500 television programs over the span of his career, portraying over 220 characters.

His last movie i saw was "Superhero Movie".

On that 2008 movie, he starred as Uncle Albert, the wisely-silly uncle of Rick Riker, the boy who bit by a dragonfly and turn himself into a superhero.

Bye, Leslie.

Thanks for dropping thousands of laughter on my face each time i saw you on the tellie.

With Anne Francis in his second film, "Forbidden Planet" (1956)

Young Leslie. Cute, huh? :)

Katy Perry, The New Barbie

Barbie has been the biggest fashion role ever. Her hair, her make up, her outfits, even the way she chose a guy has been an issue for every girl in the world. People starts to create her imitation. The look-a-like dolls and even look-a-like face. It's as if the perfect look of a woman can be seen of the doll. Long blonde hair, white skin, tall legs, and flat belly seems like a standard display of a woman.

Among every single woman who tries to imitate Barbie, i choose Katy Perry as my favorite. I have no idea, does she looks like a Barbie on purpose, or is it her real face since the day she was born?

I bet she's a luckiest girl in the world who destined to born as a living Barbie.

 

 

Look how pretty she is...

I'm not her fan and i only knew a few of her songs, but i knew she's as georgeous as a Barbie.

The Hectic Day! Part 2: Jakarta Culinary Festival

(sambungan dari part 1)

Gw dan Muktar pun langsung nyari Kopaja ke Pacific Place buat liat Jakarta Fashion Week. Berbekal petunjuk jalan seadanya, kita pun langsung cuuuus...

Sesampainya di sana, kita disambut beberapa manekin berbusana hasil rancangan sejumlah designer ternama Indonesia. 

But... the event hasn't start yet!

Pembukaannya baru malemnya dan kita dateng siangnya, jadi kita early banget ya cun...

Gw sih mau-mau aja nunggu ampe malem, liat openingnya. Tapi gw sendiri nggak yakin apa openingnya terbuka buat umum atau kalangan tertentu aja, atau pake undangan gitu.

Akhirnya kita langsung cuuus ke halte busway terdekat. Pulang.

Pas di halte, Muktar nanya,

"Kalo yang ada Farah Quinn itu kapan?"

"Jakarta Culinary Festival? Bukannya udah kemaren?"

"Sampe kapan?"

Gw pun buka Facebook, baca note yang gw tulis kemaren. Notes yang isinya list event buat tugas.

"Sekarang masih"

"Mau ke sana?"

Gw mikir-mikir. Ke sana? Beneran?

Akhirnya kita pun keluar dari antrean. Padahal kita udah ngantri lumayan lama karena busway di situ lewatnya jarang-jarang. Penuh pula. Kita pun nanya rute ke Grand Indonesia ke mas-mas petugas di halte.

Tololnya, ternyata rute ke Grand Indonesia itu antriannya di tempat kita antri tadi.

Kita pun ngantri dari awal. Lama lagi. Oke. Stupido.

...dan yeaaay, kita pun tiba di GI.

Welcome to Jakarta Culinary Festival 2010 !

 Ini Magic Potion dari Kitchenette. Di dinding ini ada minuman dengan berbagai rasa. Untuk bisa mencicipi minuman ini, para pengunjung harus menyumbang sejumlah uang yang nantinya akan disalurkan ke korban bencana alam. Berhubung gw bawa duitnya pas-pasan, jadi terpaksa mesti nahan penasaran kayak apa rasa Magic Potion ini.

 Chef Sandra Djohan from Miele. Mirip Dhawiya anaknya Elvi Sukaesih itu ya?

Hasil masakan Chef Sandra Djohan. Sayangnya kita gak kebagian.

 BCA Lounge, tempat event-event tentang wine. Booth ini ada di sebelah booth Miele. Sayangnya, kita telat dateng. Padahal ada wine tasting. Jadi kan enak tuh, masuk booth demo masaknya Miele, icip masakannya, terus masuk ke booth BCA Lounge deh, icip wine. Komplit tuh, abis makan terus minum.

 Selain di booth Miele, demo masak juga ada di booth ini. Boothnya lebih besar.

 

Ini cumi bakar yang ada di salah satu booth seafood. Gw sempet icip dan... pyukkk... 

Nggak ada rasanya! Kayak dipotong-potong terus dibakar aja gitu. Nggak berasa dibumbuin.

 

Ini spaghetti yang gw icip di salah satu booth. Lumayan lah, walopun rasanya nggak enak-enak amat. Mentang-mentang sample kali ya.

 

 

 

 

 Sample yang satu ini mesti bayar. Sample segede upil gini harganya mulai dari 15.000 sampai 23.000.

Selain itu juga ada booth Magnum. Para pengunjung bisa beli es krim Magnum terbaru seharga 10.000. Pembelian ini termasuk bonus foto dengan kostum kerajaan. Kostum kerajaan ini sesuai dengan ingredients Magnum terbaru yang memakai cokelat Belgia. Sayangnya, gw nggak sempet foto boothnya. Hehe, sorry...

Sayangnya lagi, tante Farah Quinn datengnya kemaren dong, jadi gw nggak ketemu dia di sini.

Oke, selesai icip-icipnya. Sepulang dari situ gw langsung cari taktik gimana caranya bisa masuk ke Jakarta Fashion Week besoknya.
