If you haven’t listening to Nicki Minaj’s new album “The Pinkprint” better hurry to get it. I guarantee, you’ll fall in love with the album as I am. It has 22 tracks and every tracks was special. Quoting her interview with Ellen, this album was made in a year and her emotion attached to this album was like a mother giving birth to her child. Yeah! This album was telling more stories of Nicki Minaj, her vulnerable and her life.

Out of all, the one that i really love is “Grand Piano”. Aside of other tracks like the megahits Anaconda, I Lied, All Things Go, Pills N Potions, Bed of Lies, and the rest, this track really special for me. It’s not related to any experience in my life or at least I never felt to be played like a grand piano. This music shows us something different.

For me, it shows us another side of Ms. Minaj, the side that we seldom see. The side which she is not rapping and her voice is still awesome. The side which she attached her feeling while she sings it and you know you can feel it. Not only those, but also the music really calming, softening, and somehow sad that you’ll never bored listening to.

The release of pinkprint was like the end of year gifts for us and a great year for Nicki Minaj. She was not heard for such a long time, and suddenly everything falls back into place. She had recorded great songs for several artists album like Trey Songs, August Alsina, and Usher. She also remix Beyonce’s Flawless and as a change the queen collaborated with her for “Feeling Myself” that goes to The Pinkprint.

She also made great music videos; Pills N Potions, the booty MV: Anaconda and The Pinkprint Film. The Pinkprint Film colaborated with Beats by Dre which is a great idea of releasing musics. She released another 4 songs together: All Things Go, The Crying Game, I Lied, and Grand Piano days after stunningly performing Bed Of Lies with Skylar Grey on AMA. The movie was stunning and her acting skill was fierceless and the song was great too.

It's 30th December 2014 10:00 am. I am in the cake store ordering a small wedding anniversary cake for my parents. The owner is a sister of my best friend. She runs a small classic traditional bakeshop in Medan. Business been very good for her this year and many more years to come (finger-crossed). So, we are having a small chat since she is not busy and we talk about decorating ideas, business and life.

Yeah, I knew her not by coincidence. I heard some of her story from her sister about what she had been through. I'll try to share it in quick paragraphs below:

"Her father making good business to support the family. So, she met a nice guy, married and have 3 children. One of them has disability, brain and motor nerve system was not functioning properly. So you can imagine having a child that can't talk very well, can't take care of herself, and need support all the time. Luckily, the other two was well and healthy.

The next story of her life was pretty tough and how she become was exactly how she should be. Her husband was unable to provide and support the family economically. So, there are times they really broke and they should eat instant noodle everyday and even when she had the money to buy meat, she had to share it with the whole family. A small piece of meat to be shared with 5 family members and she always offered hers for her son. That is how tough her life was.

She become a very strong woman. In all the series of unfortunate events, she is very lucky that she had sisters who support her and her talent in baking. It's all how it start, the new business growing and we saw her succeed. Sounds like happy story but they are full of life-teaching"

So, I wonder what really taught her. Here are few things to reflect: 1. As long as you still can do and the business is good, don't reject customer because life is a circle, sometimes we are at the high place and sometime at the low place. 2. Always be grateful !!! Whatever your religion is, be grateful is the key !!! 3. Believe in Karma but not blame things to Karma! We own what we do! 4. Don't forget to donate! She donate every first baked! 5. Understand and accept the condition. People always nagging to every bad things happened to them but what life had taught her is she accepting every condition that happen. 

That's how she enjoy her life. As I share this, I hope that people enjoy their life as much as she did. And I learn too that I have to accept the condition I am facing and with full spirit to change the condition.
