A Home Made of Dreams.


*This entry is best viewed alongside Google Image for references*

When I have a beautiful house like the one in Practical Magic (torn down after the movie) or The Le Coq D'Or Mansion aka Bok House in Jalan Ampang KL (now torn down, stupid city council), as close to the blue ocean like Maldives,
I would have....

my kitchen and dining area to look warm and wholesome like Nando's,

a mysterious library like Hogwart's,

a charming dance room with mirrors like Flashdance + Step Up,

a vintage but modern studio like the architecture firm in Cinta or the old Cenfad building,

and a bathroom as calming as the Pangkor Laut Resort Spa.

My living room sparse but cozy like British India,
furnished with the timeless furniture of Kevin Flynn's home in Tron Legacy,
Art Nouveau-esque wood carvings, grilles and furnishing like in Henry Van de Velde's house,
and white billowing curtains like the Nescafe ad featuring Nasha Aziz in the early 90s.

The bedroom would be inspired by the Victorian Gothic era + The Carnivale + Theatre/Opera house + Puteri Gunung ledang the Musical,
with the bed from Brandy The Boy is Mine music video which is actually a swing like in a hindustani movie that has drapes like the bed in Original Sin,
It would have a bewitching vanity area like Anna Sui's cosmetics counter,
Satine's boudoir in Moulin Rouge would be my sexy walk in closet filled with clothes like T-Joue, handbags like Kate Spade and shoes from Nine West and of course, anything designed by Rizalman Ibrahim.


And for the exterior part....

Labyrinth movie + Secret Garden book + Alice in Wonderland (book & movie) would be the inspiration for the wonder of my garden,
The view ethereal like in the film Mamma Mia + Rivendell in Lord of the Rings,
A peaceful inner courtyard like Al Hambra, Granada, Spain,
A romantic balcony like in Verona Italy in Romeo and Juliet,
A private lookout tower like Istana Seri Menanti,
A praying area in the likes of the floating mosque in Jeddah or Kuala Terengganu,
The enchanting corridors and hallways of Bangunan Keretapi Tanah Melayu + Bangunan Sultan Abdul samad,
With big old trees lining the driveway like Taiping in Yasmin Ahmad's movies or in those old Dunhill TV ads where the black expensive car swooshes by and scatters the dry leaves,
and a cool tranquil barbeque pit like in Sek San's Sekeping Serendah.

And all the places and spaces and places would be filled with unforgettably beautiful memories shared with people that I love and care about.


I originally began my blog as a place where I can freely wander in my imagination. I've had a wonderful trip, I hope you had too. Good night.

Fireworks, Katy Perry



Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in

Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that there's still a chance for you
Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on slet your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em goin "Oh, oh, oh!"

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

live. die.

There are times when I wish I wasn't me.
I'm too scared to live, yet too afraid to die at the same time.
