Kylie Who? The Remake

Hi there readers!! Can you believe that Kylie

has been making music for 20+ years? To

me she is LEGENDARY. That is why my

topic for today is why the hell am I still

listening to her and not considering someone

similar to her to be my favorite singer?

Why can't I just make Lady Gaga my new

Favorite Pop Princess, or Little Boots as

my favorite Pop singer? Here is why...

Kylie first caught my interest when I saw

her video named "In Your Eyes". She was

hot, and that song was so catchy I can sing

to it even though I was still a first grader

at that time. I began to buy one of her DVDs

and accidentally saw that my cousin has her

cassette. She gave the cassette to me, and

I couldn't stop listening to her songs. Years

go by, and I started to buy her next albums

and stopped when it was 2005, where she

was diagnosed for Breast Cancer. I started

to notice she made a documentary about

how she returned singing after cancer, and

my obsession to her rose from then on.

Why did I stay with her all these years? To

me, it's because she is classy, elegant, caring

to her fans, creative, and always happy. She

is currently working on her 11Th album, and

it was after touring for the 1st time ever in

USA. She wanted to tour there for 2 decades

and never got the chance, and now she can.

She said, that this tour is a sign of thanks to

all her fans in the USA who kept supporting

her. Now, from that I could see that she's

REALLY not doing this for fame, she did

this for the sake of her adoring fans around

the world.

And that is why I love her so much. I don't

care if there are haters saying she's a

Madonna copycat, or an 80's has been.

Those guys are jealous coz there are still

caring fans who adore her very dearly, like

me perhaps. The best Kylie fan you'll see in

all of Indonesia!!

I Am... Money

Hi readers! Today I want to talk
about 2 things that has been going
through my mind. First thing I
want to talk about is my alter ego
named Money.





About 3 years ago, I was still a
young kid with a high imagination.
So, I began thinking what if I make
an alter ego, so that if I don't want
to be myself, I just be him. And
with alot of names in my mind, I
decided to have an alter ego
named Money.

I was 12 years old at that time,
and I am in a position where I
was still being insulted and
teased. I'm not a cryer, but I'm
the kind of kid who holds
grudges. So, that is why starting
from the age of the 13, I shall
become my alter ego. He is the
mean side of me who is boastful,
self centered, vengeful, and
real snobby. But, when I became
13, I decided to lock Money, and
use him only when I'm going out.

When I say I use him only when
I'm out, is coz everytime I go out,
I wanna look rich, snobby, and
mean. But years have flown by,
and now that I'm 15 it is the best
time to be Money. If I became
Money, I'll talk about all the things
that I own, the skills in English
that I'm best in, and I will never
give a damn about what others
say. I will laugh at other people's
misery and always think I'm
better than them.

It is hard to know that I will
be hated by others, but surely
Arif Putra Wicaksana is still in
me, and he is trying his best to
hold Money down whenever
he is angry.

So, there you have the idea of
who the hell is Mr. Money and
I hope you understand that
revenge can do lots of things to
you.

The City: The Brand New Start

It's now time for me to
tell you Feby's dream
and her side of the story.







2. Feby
She is always cracking jokes,
and she is fun to be with. Her
passion to write and play music
is strong, that is why her dream
is to go to Juliards in New York,
and learn to play music and
start her music career in
California. She is going to start
doing that after leaving Bakti
Mulya 4oo High School. She is
in IF just like Dain, and she is
going to leave BM 400 after
the 11th grade too. I could see
that she wants to be famous
too, but she wanted it to be by
music. She also wanted to be
the next Katy Perry.

There you go, 2 dreams that I
hope can come true for them.
I really wish it would be the same
for me. And I hope my family
could help me get through this,
and with the help of my friends'
support, I could just be in New
York joining these 2 girls.
And what would be great, if we
could go through this together
and be succesful together in
the Big Apple!

Amen to that!

The City: That Doesn't Sleep

... that wasn't what I was

planning to do, but in this

case, I will.

Coz, my dear friends, Feby

Bachtiar and Daindra

Widyaputri (blog mates,

and school friends) has

already planned to go to

NYC.

They have their life planned

way better than mine. I'll tell

you one person at a time. Let's

start with Dain.

1. Dain

She is smart, and hillariously

funny. She took and IF class in

a school called Bakti Mulya 400

High School. IF is an International

class, and I think they speak

English most of the time. She said

that she wants to take IF only 'till

the 11th grade, and then she

wants to go quickly to New York

University School Of Medicine.

She said if she doesn't go

quickly, she'll lose lots of subjects.

Coz when she go there after the

11th grade, she is already in Year

Two in NYU. And her dream is to
be a doctor. How nice, right?

And now, I'll tell you my other friend's

dream...

The City: Where Dreams Are Made

Hi people, Mr.Money here to blog
something important in life. Yes,
I'm going to talk about our life
long dreams. I don't know what to
call this a goal, or a dream, but
whatever it is we want them to
happen right? Well, I really want
to tell you my dream. And it's
going to New York!!

Like in Jay-Z's, song New York is
like a jungle where dreams are
made of. And before the song was
released, I already want to go
there. Coz there are lots of
opportunities for us to live our
dream. And I always wanted to do
lots of things there!





The problem is, since I got lots
of bad grades in my high school
BiNus, I don't think I can be an
arcithect like I always dream of.
Now, I wanted to do a job that
seems easy enough, that doesn't
require alot of thinking. And I've
have some options I would like to
share:





1. Pianist
I know this sounds crazy, but I
want to play piano again like I
used to, and hope that I can be a
pianist. Maybe even a pianist that
could sing, like Alicia Keys or
maybe Daniel Powter. They are
talented and famous. It's a
situation that I always like!





2. Actor
Yeah, I'm so lazy in studying I
don't think I'm strong enough to
have a job that requires alot of
knowledge. That's why I rather
be a stupid actor, that is funny,
famous, and friendly. I don't
think I have to prepare alot to
be an actor, coz I already good
at impersonating my teachers :D
But, seriously I want to do this so
that I can end up like Taylor
Lautner. Young, rich and famous!





So after reading this you'll know
that my dream is to be in New
York, already rich and famous.

Well...

i'Ve Just Begun (Having My Fun)

Hello bloggers! Remember me?
The boy that used to blog all the time?

Well, that's me, Mr.Money back in

businnes. There are lots of things I want

to say, 1st let me just say I can't continue

my last post coz there are more important

things to blog about. Here's what has happened

after my last post.

I have graduated (Hooray!), and with a

not so high score, I went to a High School

called Bina Nusantara (BiNus). It's in

Serpong, and it's an international school

(cool!). So we speak English everyday,

but we rarely speak English with each other

(students). I made some friends, I study a

lil' too hard and so on. I'll talk on school later

Ok?

Now, I HAVE GOT iPHONE 3GS! Yes,

months ago I've told you that I'm obsessed

with it right? And a few days ago, it was my

B'Day present! I can sleep with a smile

now :D It's black, 16GB, and I love it. I

love it so much I'm naming it Jacob Black.

Coz I'm a fan of Taylor Lautner, and the

iPhone itself is black, just like Taylor's

character's surname.

So, I'm still the same kid. But, I'm a

high schooler now, who still loves Kylie,

tweeting, and surfing the web. I just

turned 15, and I can feel my alterego

corrupting my mind even more.

Witness the evolution of a new teenager!

Kylie Who? Part 1

Being the first ever singer that
I love in 1st grade, Kylie Minogue
has been my number 1 favorite
singer of all time. Many singers
have interest me, for example
Beyonce, but Kylie's songs are
far more catchy than hers.
And yesterday, the Pop Princess
turned 41!!






All day long, I watched her X2008
DVD yesterday. Staring at her
beauty, dazzled by her style and
melted by hervoice all day was
no problem for me.Since yesterday's
her birthday, I wanted to do a
post just for her. And if I'm still not done
I'll break it into many parts. So I'll
start here, my first ever post about
the beautiful, and talented
Kylie Minogue.








Kylie first made it big in the
late 1980's as Charlene in the
Australian Soap "Neighbours".
Moving to England, she made the
transition to Pop Sensation when
she worked with producers Stock,
Aitken and Waterman.


When the hits dried up in the
1990's, Kylie was faced with her
first major challenge. She had to
reinvent herself for a new generation
of fans. Stepping out of the shadow
of her producers, she bravely
forged her own path as an
independent performer. But though
everyone was still talking about
her and she was often in the charts,
she had to face the fact that she
wasn't at the very top anymore.


To Be Continued...

My Goals+My Nightmare=My Life

Ok from the image above you can

already see what my Goal is. Yeah,

I have been crazy about the new

Iphone 3G, and everybody seems
to not care. Well, Dain and I was

really iPhone maniacs, but when I

asked my Mom about buying it,

she says " NO WAY ! ".

But, to tell you the truth, I'm

going to get it in July, no matter

what!

So, I had a couple of

nightmares a few weeks

ago. And I was really scared

'coz the nightmare was about

Prom. And in my nightmare,

I didn't wear a suit like I

wanted to, but I wore a BATIK!

It was frightening, but my 2nd

Prom nightmare was worst.

In it, I wasn't invited!

But now, I'm happy again

knowing that I bought my

suit in Zara, and I'm ready for

Prom.

So, that has been my life for

a couple of weeks now. And I

hope my life gets better and

better just like Kylie's succes.

Speaking of Kylie, heres a new

french tune that she made from

her song "Sensitized". I know it's

not a music video, but it's a demo.

It's re-recorded for Christophe

Willem's new album "Cafeine".

Away Too Long

Hey Bloggers! I know I haven't been

writting cool posts like Dain, but to

tell you the truth, these stories are the

only ones interesting enough to be

written on my Blog.

Yesterday, I read Dain's post that said
something about me teasing Dain's

laptop, which was true 'coz VAIO and

Acer are two different laptops. But, what

I didn't know was the Vista program looks
the same (Sorry Daindra..).

And in good news, I have succesfully
got a haircut weeks ago. It was inspired
by Matt Gordon's haircut (the model for

Paco Rabanne). But when I got to school,

my friends told me I looked like Rihanna.

(really??)

Plus, look up Madonna's 3rd single

called "Miles Away". I like it alot, 'coz

it's a nice ballad composed by Timbaland,

Justin, and Madonna herself. And

she said this song was inspired by

her ex-husband Guy Ritchie.

This photo was taken from her "Sticky And Sweet Tour".

Happy To Be Fashionable

Bonjour everyone, I would like to say Happy
Birthday or Joyeux Anniversaire in french, to
the Haute Couture Designer Jean-Paul
Gaultier, who is a friend to Kylie.

Jean-Paul Gaultier who turns 57 today, is a
French Designer who is known for creating
concert costumes for Madonna and Kylie.
For Madonna, he created the infamous
Cone Bra that was used in her Blond
Ambition Tour, and some costumes for her
Confessions Tour. For Kylie, he created all
of the costumes in her X2008 tour .







And, I also want to thank him for making Le Male,
the number one men's fragrance in the Europe,
which I have. I bought it 'coz it really smells good.

Love To You All, and Good Night!

A Help From A Friend

I would like to dedicate this post to my
good friend/blog buddy Daindra.

Yesterday, I brought my VAIO to
school, and I did that 'coz I needed
Dain's help to install "the Sims 2"
in my laptop. So, after my exam I
went to her class, then I showed her
my laptop. After a couple of minutes,
she managed to install it succesfully
in my VAIO. I was really happy she
helped me on that. I know it's not
such a big deal, but it means alot to
me.



So, for all of you blog buddies out
there, never turn your back on a friend.
'Coz you'll never know that someday,
you will really need one. Just look at me
now. Today was my last day of exam,
and I get to relax while playing "the
Sims 2" nonstop since noon.

Love to you all,
Arif the RingLeader.
P.S: The Sims 2 series that i have is
Nightlife.

Just Be Yourself

Today I had an Exam, but it didn't turn out
very well.

The problem was that my hair is
too long (kepanjangan lah intinya melebihi
kuping gitu). So, one of the teachers that I
dislike no, HATED told me to cut the hair
before doing the exam. I had no idea what
to do, so I just went to the teachers lounge
and told my fave teacher to cut some of my
hair symbolically, then I started doing the test
like others.

I was pissed off like HELL, I couldn't think
straight. My friends then realized I got a minimal
haircut, that looks effing insane, but unique ;) .



So, I went home thinking about a new cool pixie
haircut that I could copy, and looking at Vic's new
pixie haircut, I was a little inspired.



But, to tell you the truth I was energized again
coz I heard Tiesto's old song, which happens
to be my fave, "Traffic", taken from his 2nd album
named "Just Be". Heres a link to his music
video.

Love to you all,
Arif, the Ring Leader.

If U Seek Arif

The reason I wanted to write this
new post is to give you some
information about myself. Who
is an ordinary student, still young,
has a light brown skin, and likes
to read magazines.

But seriously, here are some infos
about the creator of Mr. Money's
Story.

Pet: A female Persian Cat named Kitty
A Fan Of: Kylie Minogue (since 1st grade, I've sang her song), Beyonce (same
birthdate), Britney (such a big fan since 5th grade), Mariah (since 3rd grade).

Thinking Of Circus.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v-0Ap_pYxE


Hi Blog buddies, I saw this video of a
sneak peak to Britney's Circus tour,
and it was amazing, you must watch!
That's the URL, so you better check
it out or you'll never know what her
tour consist of.

This has been her 7th tour, and this
time it's more stylish. In this tour,
Britney's Stylist is none other than
Kylie's trusted friend William Baker
(Who I saw in Kylie's White Diamond
documentary). Britney's costumes
were made by Dsquared2, and as you
can see, she looked magnificent
wearing them.



Today, I fell in love with Katy Perry's
song "Thinking Of You". This ballad song
sounds sweet and it has been
downloaded all over the world. You
can see the video being played in
Mtv Asia very often.




Love to you all from Arif,
the Ringleader.

That Is My Destiny

Hey everyone, sorry it has been
a while since I have wrote my
last post. But, I got some things
to say.

As you all know, after all the
exams I'm going to take, there
will be a Prom Night. And I was
a little concerned about it today.

The problem is, we have to choose
our Prom dates, or we will look
stupid going alone. Then there
is a fact that we have to look
good, and my friends and I
are trying to find some clothes
with Brands. Why? Well I don't
wanna look bad in something
too simple. Plus, we have to be
fit too.

But, I have a bigger problem. The
Prom was considered to be at
June, but I am going to Macau at
early June. So, I was in alot of shit
thinking about it.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_ppm6tRRxg


Good news, today I saw the video
to Pussycat Dolls' new single "Jai
Ho! (You are my destiny)". It was a
cool song, and it will be in the soundtrack
of the movie "Slumdog Millionaire".
And PCD's new album will be re-
released on April. It's called "Doll
Domination 2.0", and don't forget
to catch their tour.
Love to you all,
Arif.

Earth Hour, SingFest,& Followers.

Hey everyone, at 20:30 it was Earth
Hour, which means we got to turn off
most of our lights off for an hour. But,
coz I was so busy watching the funny
improv show called "Whose Line Is It
Anyway", I forgot to turn off my lights
like my friends did. So tonight, I'll sleep
with my lights off (YA IYALAH!).

(The Cast of "Whose Line?", the US vesion)

I chatted with my friend today, and we decided
to go to SingFest 2009 in Singapore at August!
But, problem is will my Mom let me go alone
with my friends? I hope so, but we'll get back to
this later.


And now I'd like to say for those who have read
my post, please be my follower. Of Course if you
enjoy my blog. But still I'll be your follower for sure.
Well, good night then. Love to U all!
Arif.

Math, Mirrors, & LoveGame

Hi everyone, I have a Try Out today, and

it wasn't succesful. I mean I can do the

Bahasa Indonesia part, but today I sucked

at Math (WTH?). I used to be good at

Math, but I blanked out while I was doing

it.

So, when I went home, I watched "Mirrors"

in DVD. It wasn't scary, but it shocked me

alot.

At home, I surfed the web and watched a

new video by Lady GaGa called "LoveGame".

It has a nice beat, and the video isn't bad.

It's Lady GaGa's 4th single, but now it is

still number 96 in the US Billboard Chart.

So, if I do something new, I'll

write it in my blog. Love to you

all! Arif.

Back for More: The Remake

Hi, I'm back coz I need to add a few Info

regarding my last topic.

I was bought 2 CDs by my Dad. the

other one is Katy Perry's "One Of

The Boys". And I think the CD has

only a few good songs, but I still

like her song "Hot N Cold". And I

think her new single "Thinking Of

You" isn't bad either.

So, both girls are good singers, and

I think it's a good choice for Indonesian

people to buy those CDs, coz their songs

are on the top of the charts right now.

Thanks for reading, Love to you all!

Arif.

Back For More

Hate to admit it, but making a blog needs
alot of time. Coz I'm not the kind of person
that has alot to tell.

So, yesterday my Dad bought me a new
CD, it's the Fame from Lady Gaga. Do you
like her? I know I do, coz her music is
electro pop with a unique style. My fave song
has got to be her top single "Poker Face", and
I like her other song "Beautiful Dirty Rich".



And there's nothing else I can say,
but keep reading my blog.
Love to you all,
Arif.

Let's Get it Started

Hello everybody, I'm Arif from Bakti Mulya 400. I went

to school with my other blog buddies, Dain and Arninne.

Yeah, I was not a blogger, but Dain made it very interesting

Though she said she is a trendsetter for getting me to make a blog

I still think I did it by my own.

So I said to myself, "I need a blog, and I'll make it in English
to make it easier." Hope u enjoy the crap that I make,
Love to you all, Arif.
