My so-called Vintage Fantasy


This opening picture is from a Romeo-Juliet kinda movie of the 70s, "Love Story", one of my dad's fave.

I've always wondered how is it like to be lived on the 60s or 70s.. Life seemed simpler back then. And since the consequences of the western's industrialisation hadn't been there yet at that time, then I guess there still no pollution, or melted ice on North and South Poles, and my country was still somehow more rural in every way. I'm not quite sure though, would I survive without blackberry, notebook, and internet? I didn't remember how I got addicted in the first place!!!!

I'm in love with the oldies... And sometimes I felt that I'm stuck in those days...
I love old movies,
I love old songs,
But I don't wear vintage clothes though.

Yesterday, I went to a temporary exhibition in Leeds City Museum, displaying a lot of stuff from the 70s. I even try to do some cosplay there...with wig! lol





The 70s are the era of my folks. Somehow they could made through without pots and LSD... (maybe those stuff are expensive in my country, and my folks are good kids... I'm a good kid too...a nerd, but I stopped studying hard since undergrad--somehow the subjects I got into are not that interesting :p)

Anyway, you can always tell it's 70s from the wallpaper thingy

See..., it's sooo 70s!!

the typical 70s bedroom (not so typical in my country though)
I love the colours, I love the pattern, and I love the hype!


typical 70s kitchen. Gotta looove that retro style! Pastel is totally 70s!


Even the cupboard looks cute! Still got one of these in my grandma's house... But I think that one needs restoration (it's nearly broken into pieces).


A rattan hanging-chair, one of my dreamy things!


The family room, with rounded-screen tv and sofa... I bet the tv wasn't that big at that time!


I wonder, will they do an exhibition of the 60s too? It's my fave era--since I'm in love with the icon of that era, The Beatles.

Ikhtiar

Ingin sekedar berbagi cerita tentang perjalanan hidup sampai mendapatkan yang dinanti-nanti.  Alhamdulillah dua tahun slowdown karena pandemi membawa berkah. Setahun setelah menikah, kami dianugerahi seorang putri yang sangat kami sayangi. Perjalanan  mendapatkannya bisa dibilang tidak mudah. Akumulasi semua pengalaman sebelumnya, banyak rintangan yang dihadapi. Namun syukurlah Allah memberikan amanah kepada kami sekeluarga.  Berkah Habatussaudah Ternyata hadits Rasulullah tentang keutamaan Habatussaudah atau jinten hitam sebagai obat segala penyakit* benar adanya. Jinten hitam ini adalah faktor pembeda utama, selain suami yang sangat sabar dan waktu di rumah yang lebih panjang karena work from home (wfh) . Setelah menikah dengan suami yang penyabar ini, saya disarankan oleh adik saya untuk berikhtiar dengan cara mengkonsumsi 7 (tujuh) butir Habatussaudah/jinten hitam yang sudah disangrai dan madu setiap hari. Cukup tujuh butir, tidak perlu banyak-banyak karena Habatuss...

Mama Drama (yang tercinta)

Selain MLM dan rokok, ada satu hal lagi yang saya bener-bener ga tahan: Mama Drama.  ------- (Warning: postingan ini bikin emak-emak hardchore kejang-kejang. Use it wisely. 😂  Move along at your own risk. ) ------- Semua ibu-ibu baru ini (seumuran sama saya) kelakuannya sangat tipikal di media sosial macam facebook dan path. Terlalu banyak membagi informasi mengenai anak-anaknya dan sangat sangat sangat emosional jika diingatkan ( mama bear will bite you to death! ). Saya sampai pada satu titik dimana saya sangat yakin bahwa mungkin dulu saya tidak benar-benar berteman dengan mereka, karena jelas sekali saya di luar lingkaran mereka (dari segi bahasa, kehidupan, dan persepsi) (Semua ilustrasi saya hapus karena yang punya drama emosi..) Panggilan tipikal: si anu mamanya anu Yang bikin saya paling sadar kalo saya bukan temannya lagi itu adalah saat saya lihat statusnya dan komen-komen di statusnya, semua orang adalah mama/papa/ayah/bunda/kakek/nenek dari nama si...

The Revelation of the Infamous Hags

Well, well, well. What d'you know? At first you were their friends, but right there at the moment they don't need you anymore or despise you with hatred and envy you with all their might--you just turn into the object of their cruelty! Disguise in their keen elegance, never did they actually revealed their truer form infront of promising 'customers'. They even can agitate people into hating each other--and some people really take it personally and even put grudge to people they don't even know! Sick isn't it? Well, they DO dressed nice, covering all that evil devilish thoughts behind their artificial skins. But once you see them, they're nothing but ol' malicious hags, lurking around for prey. Their smiles aren't genuine. Their acts always for the sake of themselves and themselves only--whether to bossing around, getting ETERNAL youth (?), or just bullying others that potentially harmful for their mighty being. I wonder why some people still can'...
