I'm sure you know Belarus, no? But, if today is the 1st time u heard of it, let's learn some little facts about this republic together :) 

Let's start with its location on the world map.

Belarus or officially Republic of Belarus is in Eastern Europe and is one of 47 landlocked countries. What is landlocked country u ask?
If u can notice from the map, Belarus is bordered by Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia. The entire country is enclosed by land with no coastline. That's landlocked country.

The capital city is Minsk.

Belarus people are called Belarusians and the official languages are Belarusian and Russian. Learn from now if u plan to visit.

They eat little during breakfast and enjoy big meal during dinner. You might need to take the dinner you've been skipping for diet while in Belarus :) 

They eat potatoes, bread, pork and beef. Most of the products are organic, they check radiation constantly to avoid food contamination.  

Belarusian alphabet is based on Cyrillic script. *I need a phrase book!

Airport - Minsk National Airport or also known as Minsk 2 Airport.

Some corrupt hotel may practice 'legal theft', an annoying way of stealing :( 
Housekeeper will hide your personal belonging in the most outrageous part of your room while cleaning. If you didn't notice your belonging gone missing, well, it will become theirs after you left. And if you report items missing or you managed to find them by yourself, u can't do anything much since your items are not actually leaving the room, it's not consider a theft. Mmmm...as cunning as a fox!

However, don't let that stop you from visiting. Some interesting things to do are hole fishing when Minsk Sea is completely frozen and visit Khatyn Memorial.



So by now, I hope you know where Belarus is and some interesting facts about it. Well, if you have been to Belarus, do share some stories you found interesting. Meanwhile, I might need Dmitry's help to learn more about it :D

The Best Way To Travel

"And u can fly

High as a kite if u want to

Faster than light if u want to

Speeding through the universe

Thinking is the best way to travel"

But it is never the same like the real traveling...

Central-East Java: Berikan Cintamu Juga Sayangmu :')

My host in Jogja, Lisa was a great host!
We talked and shared almost about any topic, music was no exception. For me, Peterpan and Kerispatih have good songs but she thought otherwise. But one thing we both agreed, Ungu is the best. Among their songs that I like so much are Tercipta Untukku, Demi Waktu dan Cinta Dalam Hati *jiwang mode ok :)

Remember my live update from Jogja? The late night when I spent writing quick update to u guys while the internet cafe playing a very nice Indonesian song and it rained outside? Well, I didn't know to whom the nice song belongs to. But the song was wonderful, both in the melody and its lyric. I instantly fell in love with the song I could tell it's the song if I ever heard it again somewhere some other time. And I was right, the night I left Jogja to Malang at train station, that song was on air and I recognized it. I assumed it must be one of the song in current hitlist since I heard it twice in 2 days.

Since I didn't bother to ask around the song tittle and the singer when I was in Indonesia, I suffer as my curiousity heighten as I reached Malaysia, urged me to google for the song. So, I spent some time typing 'top Indonesian songs' in my google bar in my effort to know the song. I should've asked the local if i knew Indonesia has too many top songs from singer I haven't heard of :(

But tonight, I finally found the song y'all :D
And guess what? It was Ungu's song! I like it as much as I liked their previous songs. It has haunting melody. It never leave my head for now.



Have u heard this song before? Tell me if u have the same thought this another masterpiece by Ungu keep humming in your head like me :)

Join KL Flash Mob 2011!

I always wanted to participate in a flash mob especially after seeing many on Youtube, particularly the Glee-related. Im a GLEEk, what do u expect?

What is flash mob?

"denote a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and sometimes seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment and/or satire"

Tell me how do u like to be part of this crowd?



I mean not the watching crowd. But the one looks like came from nowhere and join the dancing pool :D So, thrilling!

Well, the dancing steps and moves are quite complicated and twisty here. It'll take me long time to perfect it or I'll end up creating my own dance moves when I lost the steps. 

So, if u are around KL this Saturday and need to get loose a little and wanna play 'immature' for awhile, join the fun at KLCC.

And the best thing is no dancing involves at all! No need to be a dancing queen to join. U need to only FREEZE FOR 5 minutes :D Easy!

To give u guys some idea, here is how the freeze flash mob would look like.



Be there and see if u we could bump into each other :D
