Favorite YouTube Covers

There are some people doing song covers in YouTube and here I share my favs to you.

First is, Lady Gaga's Telephone covered by Audrey and Gamaliel. I actually don't really like Lady Gaga's songs but they make me love this Telephone! Audrey's voice is unreal lol love it, so much. Cute talented brother & sister! 

We all know Adele's famous song Someone Like You, right? Yeah Adele, but what if a 10 year-old girl sings her song VERY WELL? Check this out, Connie Talbot singing Someone Like You. I'm shaking.

"Woke up in London yesterday, found myself in the city near Piccadilly"

That's One Republic's Good Life. The first line already got me drowning. And even drowning deeper watching its cover by Tyler Ward and Heather Janssen. Check them out!

Tanzt wie Jagger! yep, that's moves like Jagger in Deutsch! Why I wrote it in Deutsch? Because, I'm gonna share you TWO of the best Moves Like Jagger's cover video. One is in Deutsch and the other one in English. Tiffany's eyes just... incredible. <3

This one, If I Die Young covered by Michael Henry and Justin Robinett. Apart of their amazing voices, I don't fancy all those candles! lol

Then here's my twitter friend Matt Goodall covering Stolen by Dashboard Confessional. He has just joined a band called The Escape and I wish him all the best! He's a Liverpool fan, by the way. That even better.

Last but not least, this is Garry and The Peacemakers' YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE cover. Special for this one, I will include the song lyrics in order to you who don't know this song yet (oh, come on guys its the best song ever!) can feel how great this song is. It's Liverpool FC's famous anthem as well. Oh, I love the guy, by the way, looking so gorgeously fit! x

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet, silver song of a lark.
Walk on, through the wind,
Walk on, through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone,

You'll Never Walk Alone

We're Coming Back, Wembley!

"BREATHTAKING"

The word above may probably be the most suitable word for describing the match last night (or early morning over here in Jakarta). Two English teams at Anfield Stadium were in serious battle! Liverpool had secured the final spot after drawing 2-2 with Manchester City at Anfield Stadium on 2nd leg Carling Cup clash. It had put Liverpool with 3-2 on aggregate after winning the 1st leg by 1 nil. Liverpool were at first 1nil down when Luke de Jong scored the first goal that night at Anfield before the awwmazing Liverpool captain scored an equaliser from the penalty box 5 minutes before half time. 1-1.

"Get in! Does anyone strike a ball quiet like Stevie G?" Matt Owen (@LFC)

Manchester City then gave hope to citizen for a final ticket through Edin Dzeko's goal on minute 67 but it was then Craig Bellamy who had secured a ticket to final stage of Carling Cup by scoring only 7 minutes after Dzeko's goal. The score held until the final whistle was blown and Liverpool, for the 1st time in 16 years, are finally coming back to Wembley! Liverpool were overall the better side that night by pushing Manchester City into their defence area since early minutes on the first half. They also played very well and most importantly succeed converting opportunities into goals which led team to the final on February 26th. 

On the other field accross Spanish land, Barcelona and Real Madrid were again  in a dramatic clash of 2nd leg quarter finals of Copa Del Rey. I'm not into Spanish league nor also present in every El Classico match but  I can say that it was a superb El Classico. Quoting someone on twitter "I finally understand why the tickets for the el classico are so expensive. You're charged for both the great acting and the great football." I couldn't agree more there haha! many actings and controversy but that's football, right? Well maybe I can say that because I'm not a fan of Barcelona or Real Madrid cause if I were, I would probably complain much on that match haha. 

So in brief, I really love that night. Great entertainment of football from England and Spain. And my forever beloved club Liverpool FC are finally going to Wembley again. Must say it is a very busy week at Anfield because Liverpool will be hosting Red Mancs at Anfield on FA Cup just 2 days after that 2nd leg Carling Cup against Manchester City! Hope the players take a well rest, no injuries and 100% fit on Saturday. Oh, and also abit of funny little fact here.. Craig Bellamy scored for his former club against his former club to take his former club in the final against his former club. get it yourself haha. And Steven Gerrard at that Carling Cup final will play against his cousin!

I just can't wait for this all. Viva Football!

Euro 2012 Final Draw

The Euro 2012 draw has been done yesterday at The Palace of Arts, Kiev. England was the last randomly picked in the draw and placed in Group D with France, Sweden, and host team Ukraine. Not really tough, well if compared with group B. But just like Kenny Dalglish said following FA cup draw:

"We'll never be happy with a draw against anybody. We're happy with wins"

GROUP A: Poland, Greece, Russia, Czeh Republic

GROUP B: Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Portugal

GROUP C: Spain, Italy, Rep. of Ireland, Croatia

GROUP D: Ukraine, Sweden, France, ENGLAND

Unfortunately, all of 3 England matches in group 3 take place in Ukraine while England base camp in Poland. Come out the question whether England want to move the base to Ukraine or not and here is Fabio Capello's reaction on this: 

"Absolutely not. It is better to find a good place. The facilities are really good. We will stay in Krakow and we will fly."

Anyway I watched the draw and also reading my twitter timeline at the same time. Lots of people tweeting about the draw, predicting who will be with who, where is the group of death, etc. And even I've found some people saying that they want to be in the same group with England cos it will be easier for them to get through. And some even joking 'who is England losing against already?' haha. Well, we allways have hopes every year. BEL1EVE. #ComeOnEngland

it's me again. a little bit more personal :)

hello! it's been a while since I wrote here. it's uni to be blame. 1st semester at university.. not as easy as I thought. plenty of reasons I can't tell it here (well, who cares tho). But I'm just so sure that I miss my high school so much. friends, teachers, and even (can't believe I'm saying this).. maths! yep I miss the shit of high school's maths. well, think I've said it for a million times that I really wanna study in the UK (thru scholarship ofcourse cos I kno it'll cost much. don't compare with in Indonesia!) wish I can make it. still grateful tho I'm accepted in the best university in Indonesia, thank God. ok that's it about my debut as a uni student! hope everything goes fine.

now move on to family life.. I bet everyone in this world ever wished to turn back time. that's what I want the most right now. people has changed. and so has life. I really miss the moment when I was a little girl.. when me & my dad were so close each other and when my brother was a cute little boy who always made his sister laugh.. And I believe it's not only me in this house who wants to go back to the past. few days ago my mum suddenly put the family albums out of the drawer. she gave it to me and we stared at them with smile.. Gosh how beautiful my life back then. I tried not to cry while looking at the pics cos I know it cud've been an #awkwardmoment with mum haha. lovely photos of my fam :) *big hug*

Since it's ablsolute impossible to get back to beautiful past life.. I only wish the best for this family. I love my family so much may God bless us :) 

there's this song which makes me cry everytime I listen to it. old song. called 'Andai Aku Besar Nanti (When I Grow Up) by Sherina. it's for you dearest mum & dad :)

The Happiest Wednesday Ever

Last Wednesday, June 29th was probably the best Wednesday ever happened to me. Why? I've PASSED the SNMPTN test. Then why is it so special? sure it is so special. I've never had a test like this before. not only because I didn't cheat at all, but also because it was like the gamble between life and death lol. Seriously it was! thousands student participated in this test, many of them with their big and smart brain, and me, a girl who knows nothing about Maths. At first I wanted to go for International Relations University of Indonesia but then I realised it is TOO hard for me. I was being realistic hey! It needs at least the average of 57% of the test result, while I only stucked in 39% in every Try Outs. No worries, I got the alternative! I love foreign languages, so, I chose German Literarture University of Indonesia. Its passing grade is 43% so I think I have bigger opportunity in German Literature. I studied so haaaaard for this, day and night, nomatter if it's rainy or stormy lol no hour without studying. And I didn't forget to pray! I knew I was fighting for 20 chairs, yeah only 20 chairs, against hundreeds students who want German Literature. So I didn't stop studying and praying. Here's the result:

I CRIED when I read this. and I screamed. and told mum and dad that I'm accepted in University of Indonesia. They hugged me, we were in HAPPY TEARS. Thanks God :)

10 Minutes That Shook The Young Lions

It has been a few days ago but I just can't get rid of 'late heartache' that night in Denmark. I was pretty confident that the young lions will secure the semi final spot that night. The joy and happiness exploded in minute 80 when England scored. And then I was like 'oh come on ref FFS blow yer cute whistle this game need to be ended!' BUT BANG! 5 minutes later Czechs scored. It left me speechless, breathless, and feel like a blade cuts right through my heart. The victory was ALREADY in front of our boody eyes, hellooo! I couldn't stand to watch it again, too hurts. I went to my bed, check out my twitter's timeline and read bunch of tweets saying 'it's 2-1 hahahah england yer shit like always blahblahblah.' what the heck Czech scored again? well fine, I was swearing much and wishing the very worst to The Republic of Czech U21, and, cried.


"It is sad too that this will be the last time this group will be together at U21 level, with the likes of Frankie, Fabrice Muamba and a few others all being too old for the next qualifying campaign now. There are still quite a few of us though that will be eligible, so we will have to do our utmost to make sure that we bring that trophy home in two years time." -GK Jason Steele


I cried when I read the last chapter of his Euro 2011 blog. Those lads are talented, and fresh, and deserved a trophy. I'm gonna miss the moment they were together in the team. The banters when Muamba's strong shoot causing a big damn headache to Jason, Henners (Lansbury) sprayed deodorant on Jason's toothbrush, and Jason's revenge to Henners when he put the toothpaste all around Henners' toilet seat. Haha fun moments that I'm gonna miss. The lads are still young, though, so there's still many times to roar! 

I know I'm not an English lass but I really got England in my heart. So obviously I really want to see England (both in seniors and juniors) to win something. That night reminds me of last year's world cup when England met Germany in the quarter finals. I was in the bus with my high school mates going for trip in Bali so I couldn't watch it. I followed the live score using my cell phone. When the germans scored their 2nd, I couldn't stand to cry. Sat next to my friend, Inno, borrowed her shoulders to cry on. I didn't care what everybody think of me that night at bus. I just wanted to go home. The day after in the morning, my mum phoned me just to tell me that England lost (well, she knows me so well) and wanted to know if I'm okay, haha, mum seriously, you don't know me that well then! ofcourse I was NOT okay. I told him that I want to go home, screw this trip. But then she scolded me and said 'forget England, there's always another year, so dear go have fun at Bali!' 

The (true) story above can never enough to describe how much I love England. After Czech defeat, I was so confused and kept asking myself why the England national football team have to be like this? what's so wrong? England have many, many talented players playing in their football club in the premier league. But they just can't seem work (well) together as a team in England. Until I read my friend's tweets:

"2010 World Cup + U21 Euros + Football Governance Inquiry = Real Change or More of the Same? If you care about our national side get involved. In every other footballing country except England the international game holds a higher priority than the professional league. From 2000-2006 the business plan of every Bundesliga club was "put on hold" while the German FA rebuilt the national side. See our problem?"

I think he has a point there. Well, I am a GREAT fan of English Premier League, but yeah I guess England really holds much higher priority for the proffesional league than their international game. But it doesn't mean I expect the otherwise. I want England to be the best both in the proffesional league and international team side. I keep telling my self that it's only a matter of time. I believe, though, there will come the time when England reach their best like they did in 1966. Jules Rimet still gleaming!
