Proposal Daisakusen

YOOOOOOOW…..

Setelah nonton dorama SP-nya, yang merupakan penutup dan penyempurna dari 11 episode dorama nya, kesimpulan untuk Proposal Daisakusen adalah dorama yang sangat sangat sangat sangat BAGUS…. dengan ending yang hepi, alias Happy Ending (^_^)

Sebagai penggemar love story dan cerita yang ada persahabatan nya, nih dorama OK banget. Di tiap episode, ada aja bagian cerita yang bikin “tersentuh“. Mana OST nya juga mendukung buat menciptakan suasana, jadi feel nya kena banget.

OST-nya yang Ashita Hareru Kana sekarang jadi Most Played song di iPod gw (^_^), ditambah dengan lyricnya, jadi deh karaokean terus tiap kali dengernya.. he he.

10.000 BC

** Pics taken from wikipedia **

YOOOOOOOW…..

just watched 10.000 BC yesterday (^_^), with Manasa san and 3 other Indian.

It’s a movie with a touching and inspiring content.
The mainstream of the story actually is simple, the man who is a hunter from mountain tribe is chasing and trying to rescue his kidnapped lover

The story evolves with prehistoric animal, predators, etc. Then that man meet with another group, tribe, race or whatever they’re called whom their family are also kidnapped by the same group of warlord. As the story goes, they are all together fight against that group to free their family. The final boss is the one that they called GOD, who make all of that kidnapped people his slave to make a huge pyramid and sphinx, etc.

What inspire me from this movie even if we don’t understand each other language, come from many differences such as race, tribe, skin color, etc. We can always unite, understand and work with each other.

And one more lesson learned, never give up on hope, and keep chasing for your love (^_^), even the star will show you the way….
** ha ha (^_^) **

It’s worth watching (^_^)

American Idol (Season 7) - what an AWESOME show

YOOOOOOOW….

Pics taken from somewhere over the internet **sorry forgot the site**

As the title said, I really feel that American Idol (Season 7) is an AWESOME show, when I was watching it since this last couple months, this show draw me many kinds of feeling: happy, sad, weird, also made me doing many things while watching it: applauding, screaming, laughing, etc.

I really enjoy watching this show, hearing the contestant sing the song that they choose and get comments from the judges. I also like to see the story of personal life of the contestant. That’s another part of the show which made it more interesting, I think.

What makes it more interesting is that they have to show their originality, personality and whatever it is that the judges usually said to the song that they will perform. So based on their interpretation, sometimes the song that they sang turn out to be.. WOW!!

Not only just watching or listening to the show, sometimes I was drowned into it, applauding if the performance was good, moving my body (dancing) or even that show can brought tears to my eyes if it was really touching and moving.
Here are some performances which are “memorable” for me :

David Archuleta - Imagine
This performance was ABSOLUTELY GREAT!!! it brought tears to my eyes. And guess what, the next day I purchased this song in iTunes! ** The first song that I buy through iTunes, yay! (^_^) **
Carly Smithson - Blackbird
I dunno why I like this version of blackbird from the Beatles, especially with her strong voice. I watched it over and over
Syesha Mercado - Yesterday
Another performance that was really touching. Tears came again. And the studio version of this performance is even better
Michael John - We Will Rock You - We are the Champion
ROCKS!!! and the lightning + angle from camera was just PERFECT!, it seemed like he was a real star that time. I even shouting “SUGOOOOOOOOOI” that time after he was finishing the song (^_^).
David Archuleta - Smoky Mountain Memories
The BEST that he have sung this far, I think, and this became my song of the day (for one week to be exact (^_^) )
David Cook - Music of The Night
I remember this song by heart (^_^), and he sang with his style, he didn’t really rearrange it, but still it impressed me (^_^)

After watching and observing all the contestant since the very beginning of the audition, of course I have my own fave (^_^), there are :

Pics taken from americanidol.com

Carly Smithson
She has really nice TATTOO he he (^_^), I love her strong voice. And somehow she reminds me of my cousin.
I saw that after she performed the song, she always payed attention and listened to the judges seriously and the next week she showed the progress, better than before. love it.
David Cook
The tone of his voice is NICE, he can interpret almost all kind of song and made it his own. I like all the song that he performed.
I also like the style of his performance, usually he will take the microphone, hold the mic stand with the other hand and pull it around the stage (^_^)
David Archuleta
REEEAAAAALLLLY nice voice. A little bit different with Carly that choose the song which was hard to sing to show her vocal technique etc., David usually choose the song with has “meaning” or “message”, and then try to modify that song to show his voice.

I was predicting them to be the TOP 3 of the show. But from the last elimination show, I was shocked that my fave Carly was voted down and leave the show (>_<). Even so, this is not the end for her and I'm sure she will launch an album, and I’ll make sure I’ll buy one (^_^)
Now there are only two Davids left as my fave. Maybe they will fight each other at FINALE (^_^).

Despite that there are many issues about this show, that some part of the show was manipulated to give more “story”, get the rating, etc. Or even some controversial of the show such as Carly has been worked with Randy Jackson before, David Hernandez is a gay, etc. I still love the show. Plus the 2 hours Idol Gives Back which was really moving and touching for me.

And also, knowing that there is a website called votefortheworst, I LOVE IT (^_^). I dunno why, but after exploring that site, I’m smiling and sometimes laughing, it gives another point of view of the show he he.. (^_^)
First I dunno what’s this site is about, but after reading the “About Us”, and browsing some content, I bookmarked that site (^_^).
The world is fair, even the worst deserve to be voted right? (^_^)

And Finally, about the judges, here are several things from my observation (^_^):
- Almost in all performances Randy always said about “Pitch”
- Randy used to said “Hey man“, “Look at this man”
- Paula ALWAYS try to comfort the contestant
- Paula’s favorite words, “you… are….“, “such an amazing talent”

Special observation for Simon Cowell (^_^):
- Almost in ALL episode, Simon “touch” Paula’s chair.
- The color of Simon’s clothes “in the show” are ONLY White, Gray, Black. And MAYBE his fave color is GRAY, coz 51% of his clothes’ color on the show is GRAY. Only once in episode 10 (Hollywood Week result) I though he was wearing different color, dark purple?
- Until now in Season 7, the style of Simon’s clothes is 91% T-Shirt (whether V-Neck or Crew Neck), 2 times wearing shirt in SAME COLOR, white (in episode 20 and 25), once wearing suit (in Idol Gives Back).
- He usually blink his eyes whenever he got a compliment, or in the beginning of the show when Ryan Seacrest introduce him (^_^)

Overall, I LOOOVEE American Idol very much (^_^).
So much, that I remember by heart the number to call if you want to vote, it’s :
1 866 43657xx or text “VOTE” to 57xx, with xx is the number for each contestant, ha ha… (^_^).

Now… let’s see who’s gonna be the next american idol….

Hari yang “Melenangkan” (>_^)

YOOOOOOOW…..

Whoaaa….
akhirnya hari ini bisa beristirahat….
beres2 kamar yang berantakan serta mengganti wewangian kamar dari aroma yang “membuat lapar”, menjadi aroma “segar” grape fruit (^_^)
Lha trus makhluk apa Melenangkan ini?
It stands for : Lelah + Senang + imbuhan Me-kan, jadi deh Melenangkan
Sampe smiley nya juga digabung : (>_<) + (^_^) = (>_^)
** ga penting, he he **

Berawal dari Kamis malem (17/4), sekitar jam 11 malem menikmati nasi goreng lezat sambil “berencana” belajar buat Quiz Nihonggo besoknya. Eh… tiba2 keinget, besok jum’at gw janji ngebawain Cheesecake ke lab buat desert sehabis meeting, langsung aja gw santap cepet tu nasgor dan cabut ke Seiyu (supermarket) buat beli bahan2 kuenya yang, untungnya tuh Seiyu buka 24 jam (^_^).

Sambil ditemani musik Orchestra yang megah serta menggetarkan hati, Cheesecake yang dibuat dengan penuh perasaan pun jadi dan tinggal didinginkan di kulkas (Resep dan cara membuat dapat dilihat di postingan selanjutnya (^_^)). Fuuuuh…. untung aja keinget buat bawain Cheesecakenya, kalo ga kan ga seru ditagih (^_^).
Maksud hati mo bersantai trus langsung tidur, eh…… belom belajar buat quiz!!!. Mo ga mau harus stay awake buat belajar, sampe kira2 jam setengah empat baru tidur.

besoknya Jum’at (18/4) bangun jam 8, review lagi bentar, dan cabut ke kelas. Sehabis quiz dan kelas di pagi hari, siangnya lanjut lab meeting, trus menyerahkan Cheesecake yang udah dibuat semalem, dan alhamdulillah, semuanya bilang ENAK!!!. Lanjut dengan cek2 email, browsing bentar, dan jam 5 harus caw ketemuan temen, karena udah janjian dari dua minggu sebelumnya buat KARAOKE!!! (^_^).

Gw menyanyi dengan merdunya (^_^), mulai jam 6 sampe jam 9.30 malem, ditemani dengan free drink bar, dan hot chocolate jadi fave gw sore itu. Di tengah-tengah asiknya bernyanyi, tiba2 gw ditelp, “let’s eat yakiniku tabehoudai for my birthday today“.
Whoaaa….. tak bisa ditolak itu… (^_^)

Lanjutlah dari karaoke ke restoran Yakiniku Tabehoudai. Kita makan sepuasnya BUANGET…, secara All You Can Eat gitu, mulai dari nasi, sayur, daging, dll. Sambil ngobrol, nyanyi, manggang daging dll. akhirnya kita keluar sekitar jam 11-an dengan kondisi yang SANGAT KENYANG, sampe kalo masukin makanan lagi bisa muntah.

Makan sampe kenyang di Yakiniku Tabehoudai

Eh eh eh… tiba2… “karaoke yukks….”
Ada yang ngajak karaoke, karena udah kepalang keluar, dan ga seru kalo cuma makan doang.
Mau dan pastinya ga bakal ga mau, gw langsung setuju donks….
Setelah mampir bentar ke Seiyu beli bir, kita karaoke, dan kebetulan lagi, di tempat yang sama dengan tempat karaoke gw sore tadi. Si Mas2 dan Mba2′ nya senyam senyum aja ngeliat gw dateng lagi (^_^).

Kalo udah di atas jam 11 malem, sudah bisa dipastikan kita ambil paket karaoke yang sampe pagi (sampe jam 5 pagi), karena JAUH LEBIH MURAH.
YOOOOOSH…. beraksi lagi bernyanyi dengan merdunya
Kali ini karena orangnya lebih banyak dari sebelumnya dan ada orang Cinanya, jadi bisa beristirahat bentar nyanyinya kalo sedang lagu Cina yang maen.

Saking lamanya karaoke, jadi semua jenis lagu dicobain, mulai dari lagu yang slow melow, yang bisa buat goyang2, teriak2, loncat2, ngesot2 dll.
Diselingi dengan prosesi + surprise buat Oliver yang ultah dan kanpai/bersulang bersama, suasana karaoke jadi lebih seru.

Karaoke sampe pagi

Akhirnya jam 5 kita pulang dari karaoke, dengan suara yang setengah serak karena teriak2, terlebih gw yang kalo ditotal jadi 11 jam karaoke!!!.
Tak lupa mampir lagi ke Seiyu buat beli roti, telor, mie, dll. sebagai bekal buat sarapan pagi.
Sampe dikamar, mata udah merem melek dan pandangan berkunang2. Setelah menyempatkan makan roti dan susu, akhirnya tidur dengan pulas dari jam 7 pagi sampe jam 2.30 siang.

Eittts…. lum selesai…
Sabtu (19/4) masih ada yang harus disiapkan, yaitu persiapan buat party di hari Minggu besoknya, dengan konsep outdoor di taman, piknik bareng.
Daripada beli minuman ato makanan di luar, mending gw bikin cake sendiri aja, udah prosesnya asik, hasilnya “biasanya” enak (^_^). Dan kali ini gw merencanakan bikin “Apple Walnut and Cinnamon Cake“.

Setelah mencampur bahan2 awal yang dibutuhkan, gw kumpul rapat dulu sama anak2, meeting persiapan party (he he.. party pun ada panitianya). Dan ternyata eh ternyata, dikarenakan cuaca di hari minggu bakal windy (berangin), dan sang matahari akan tertutup awan, maka Party di postpone jadi minggu depan.
Huaaaaaaaa….. gw udah mencampur bahan2 kuenyaaaaaaa…..!!!
Mau ga mau, kue harus tetep dibuat (>_<)...

Yasudah, tetep SEMANGAAAT doonks tentunya… secara menyalurkan hobi gitu (^_^)
sambil bernyanyi, bersenandung, goyang2 dikit mengikuti musik, proses pembuatan cakenya jadi lebih asik.
Ditengah2 proses mixing bahan2 dengan mixer, tiba2…….
Mixernya RUSAK!!!!!
HUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA……….

Padahal prosesnya belom selesai…
duh… kesian mixerku…. (>_<)
Ga habis pikir, langsung menggoes sepeda, mendaki bukit lewati taman lalui hambatan konstruksi jalan menuju ke Donkihote (toko yang jual barang2 unik dan murah) buat beli mixer baru.
Habis itu langsung cepet2 balik buat nyelesain mixing adonan cakenya.

Akhirnyaaaa…..
Cakenya selesai….. (jam 11 malem)
langsung dipotong2 dan dibagi2 ke tetangga dan orang2 di dorm.

Fuuuuuuuuuh……
Akhirnya beres juga, dan karena Minggu ini ga jadi party, jadi gw bisa istirahat deh…
Tapi……
disaat gw mo bersantai, gw toleh dapur dan lantainya….
hikks…. (>_<)
masih berantakan..... (>_<)
Karena udah kecapean, akhirnya gw tinggal tidur aja...

Minggu (20/4), target utama adalah cleaning…
Dan AKHIRNYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA………….. semuanya bersih…
bisa bersantai dengan tenaaaaang dengan hati yang senaaaaaang…..

All this days was tiring, but it’s absolutely FUN! (^_^)

Let’s Cook : Okonomiyaki

YOOOOOOOW…..

******* PROLOG *******

I looooooooooooooooooooove my mom and my grandma very much….
Karena selama ini gw ga pernah mau dan ga mau tau cara masak memasak…
Kalo emang mau makan, ya tinggal teriak ato cari ke dapur… Kalo ga ada, mending beli deh.. toh udah murah, bisa pilih2 lagi (^_^).
Tapi setelah mengarungi samudra dan berlabuh plus tinggal di Jepang, beneran ini perdana banget buat gw menyentuh yang namanya kehidupan “masak memasak” (maksudnya yang beneran masak yaa… gw di Indonesia hanya bisa masak mie sama goreng telor doang, he he)

Bayangin coba gw beli rice cooker, karena pengen masak nasi, trus udah beli beras.. Nah, trus gmana cara masaknya??? gmana cara gunain rice cookernya? udah mana petunjuknya pake bahasa Jepang (yang ga bisa gw baca), trus takaran beras dan airnya mboten ngertos. Walhasil, dengan bantuan dan bertanya sama Jekko, Rika dan video dari You Tube, akhirnya sukses!!!

Diiringi dengan trial and error, akhirnya sekarang udah semakin jago dalam hal masak memasak.. hwe he he he (^_^)
Dan ternyataaa.. kok malah sekarang jadi suka ya????? jadi kek hobi gitu… kalo ada waktu luang, ke supermarket, dan keliling2 cari2 kira2 mo buat dan coba masak apa hari ini.. Apalagi kalo masakin buat dimakan bareng2 orang lain, pasti jadi konsen banget, hati2 nan penuh cinta masaknya.
That’s why, baru sadar ternyata my mom dan nyai, yang senantiasa menyajikan makanan yang beda2 terus tiap hari, pastilah masaknya dengan penuh cinta, makanya rasanya selalu enak (^_^)

Sip sip sip.. udah pengantarnya… kepanjangan keknya
Nah.. kan udah di Jepang neh.. sekali2 donks coba ngebuat masakan khas jepang (^_^). Gw iseng2 coba buat Okonomiyaki, dan ternyata hasilnya : ENAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!!!!
Ini juga diperuntukkan buat si bukansaya alias Anda dan si Ayam yang ngebet banget pengen makan okonomiyaki
So, here is the recipe and how to make it (^_^)

******* RECIPE and HOW TO MAKE OKONOMIYAKI *******

Ingredients - Bahan:

- 100 gram Okonomiyaki’s Flour (tepung Okonomiyaki)
- 100 ml Water (Air)
- 1/2 part of Cabbage
- 1 egg (telur)
- As Desired : Green Onion (Daun Bawang secukupnya)
- As Desired : Katsuobushi
- As Desired : Salt, sugar, chilly or whatever you want as a flavour
- As Desired : Chicken or Beef or Pork or whatever you want as topping for Okonomiyaki

All of that ingredients can be found in supermarket nearby in Japan (^_^)

How To - Cara Membuat :

Mix Flour and Water - Campurkan air dan tepung Okonomiyaki di dalam batter, kemudian aduk sampe tercampur semua.
Chop the Cabbage finely then mix it again with the flour - Potong kubisnya kecil2 trus campurkan ke adonan yang tadi.
Add the egg - Tambahkan telur di tengah adonan tadi, lalu aduk kembali (ga tau ya kok harus di tengah, tapi kalo liat2 Mas2 nya itu bikin Okonomiyaki di toko, entah kenapa kok mereka selalu taro di tengah dulu, baru di aduk, kali ada jampi2 nya dulu :P)
Slice the meat - Potong halus daging untuk topping Okonomiyakinya.
Fry the meat - Goreng sebentar daging yang telah diiris tadi
Add another additional ingredients - Sembari menunggu dagingnya, boleh tambahkan garam, gula, cabe atau apapun sesuai selera untuk tambahan rasanya, mo nambahin jengkol juga boleh, tapi tar rasanya jadi aneh .
Pour the batter to the pan and add the meat (topping) on the top of it, cook for about 5 minutes - Masukkan adonan tadi ke dalam penggorengan (yang dikasih sedikit olive oil), trus taro daging yang udah digoreng tadi di atasnya, tunggu kira2 5 - 7 menit, sambil ditilik2 jangan sampe gosong..
Flip the Okonomiyaki, cook for about 5 more minutes - Kalo kira2 udah mateng, trus dibalik. Masak lagi 5 - 7 menit.
you can add Mayonnaise and Okonomiyaki Sauce - Untuk mempercantik dan juga menambah rasa, bisa ditambah okonomiyaki Sauce dan Mayonnaise.
Add Katsuobushi as a finishing touch and make it lively - Tambahkan Katsuobushi di atasnya untuk membuatnya lebih hidup!
Okonomiyaki is ready to serve!

Apa kabar 2 SKS ini???

YOOOOOOOW….

Berawal dari diterimanya gw menjadi mahasiswa di kampus ITB tercinta, sejak itu juga gw berhijrah dari kota kelahiran tercinta nan indah, aman, damai dan tentram yang bernama “Prabumulih” ke “Bandung“.

Sedari dahulu kala, gw emang suka banget yang namanya nonton pelem * maksudnya pelem layar lebar, bukan pelem “gitu2an” *, tapi sayang cuma bisa nonton di VCD ajah (sebelum zamannya DVD), entah rental ato beli (bajakannya, he he).

Soalnya di Prabumulih itu cuma ada dua bioskop, dan semuanya….. entahlah….. (>_<)
Yang satu pelemnya jadul2 lamaaa banget updatenya, bayangin coba pelem Titanic aja baru diputer lima (5) tahun kemudian!
Satunya lagi yang R-rated, yang dari judul nya aja ketauan, contohnya, “bercinta di dalam kubur”, “Nafsu Birahi”, dlsb.
* dan kabarnya sih sekarang kedua bioskop itu udah ga ada lagi, means sekarang ga ada bioskop di Prabumulih (>_<) *
Jadi kalo mo nonton ke Bioskop, harus pergi ke Palembang dulu, yang berjarak sekitar 2 jam setengah dari Prabumulih.
Yah… jadinya at least sebulan ato dua bulan sekali lah nonton bioskopnya.

Naaaah…. begitu pindah ke Bandung… langsung terbersit, “yeaaah… semua hasrat buat nonton dapat tersalurkan!“.
Awalnya si cuma nonton pelem yang “keliatannya” bagus. Tapi lama-lama kok jadi addicted (^_^).
Dan kebetulan lagi tiap senin kan Nomat (Nonton Hemat), bisa memperkecil pengeluaran tuh, jadi kebiasaan kalo nonton itu pas hari Senin.
Trus lebih kebetulan lagi di Senin siang (jam 1) itu ga ada kuliah, jadinya bisa dialokasikan buat Nomat.
* Biasanya sore jam 3 ato 4 ada kuliah, dan malem udah cape’ lagian besoknya suka ada PR dlsb. (^_^) *

Dan sangat sangat kebetulan lagi, di semester-semester berikutnya, tiap Senin siang itu ga ada kuliah. Sehingga lama kelamaan, akhirnya si kelakuan Nomat ini menjadi “habit“. Dan entah kapan bermulanya, perilaku ini menjadi “matakuliah” 2 SKS, begitu sebutan yang awalnya dipopulerkan oleh Jekko, Upiks dan Iprit.

“matakuliah” 2 SKS yang bernama Nomat ini juga akhirnya masuk dan tertulis secara explisit di Jadwal Kuliah gw, tiap jam 13.00 - 15.00 di Bioskop 21 (twenty-one). Biasanya si di BIP, ato ga Ciwalk, soalnya ambil yang deket ajah, buat ngejer balik ke kampus kalo ada kuliah di jam selanjutnya. (^_^)

Mo panas, hujan, badai, petir, dll., pokoknya Senin siang harus nonton (^_^).
Mo besoknya UTS juga no problemo. Kan kalo kuliah ga boleh nitip absen, hwe he he…
Biasanya sih sebelum gw nonton, pasti teriak-teriak dulu, “Eh nonton yukkkkss“, entah teriak di kelas, di himpunan, lab, ComLabs, dll., kalo ada yang mo join ya nonton bareng, tapi kalo ga ada, sendiri pun no problemo (^_^).
Selama ada pelem yang belom ditonton, ya 2 SKS nya teruuuus (^_^).

Selain itu, entah mengapa gw suka banget nyimpenin kertas2 ga penting, kek struk belanja, receipt bank, dll. Termasuk tiket nontonnya. (^_^).
Yah… itung2 jadi bukti kuliahnya lah ya… he he he (^_^)

Semua tiket nonton tersimpan tetap dengan rapi

Ternyata oh ternyata, matakuliah ini tetep ada di masa-masa “Kerja Praktek” (KP) di Jakarta. Walo dengan waktu yang berubah, biasanya malem habis magrib dan selesai waktu kantor, bertempat di Bioskop 21 yang berada di sekitar Menara Jamsostek (seringnya ke Plaza Semanggi). Namun sebelum nomat di masa-masa KP itu, sering terjadi penyiksaan yang dilakukan oleh saudari Iprit (partner KP gw), baik berupa cubitan, pukulan, tarikan rambut, dll., dikarenakan saudari Iprit ini sangatlah parno untuk pulang sendirian, yang akhirnya ikutan nomat juga deh… hwe he he he (^_^)

Trus…..
matakuliah ini ga hilang donks walo gw sedang di Jepang sekarang (^_^)
Malahan jadwalnya lebih flexible lagi. Secara ada diskon khusus yang berlaku buat mahasiswa asing, dan itu berlaku tiap hari.
Boleh dibilang, nomatnya Tiap hari… HOREEEEEEEEE…..
* walo kalo diitung2, dan dibandingin, harganya jauuuuh lebih mahal dari Nomat di Indonesia *
Bertempat di Toho Cinema, dan biasanya ditemani oleh Mas Bas, Mas Juanda dan Mba’ Suwen nontonnya teruuuuuuus…. (^_^)

Tapiiiiiii……
ada satu masalahnya…. Pelemnya mana?????? (>_<)
Waktu pemutaran pelemnya suka beda2 (kayak Golden Compass aja baru puter 1 Maret 2008).
Trus gw hanya bisa nonton pelem yang berbahasa Inggris saja, kan bahasa Jepangnya lum sampe taraf nonton tanpa subtitle, he he (^_^).
Subtitle yang ada juga bahasa jepang dooonks… means ada huruf kanji yang banyaknya seabrek dan belum gw pelajari. Jadinya mustahil nonton pelem yang kaya’ Taxi 4, udah bahasanya ga ngerti, subtitlenya juga (>_<).

Padahal pelem-pelem Jepang sendiri banyak… mulai dari Anime, kayak Detective Conan The Movie, Doraemon, Bleach. Trus The Movienya dari dorama kek Kurosagi gitu, dan masih banyak lagi yang lainnya. Tapi tetep, belom bisa ditonton (>_<).

Matakuliah 2 SKS ini keknya emang bisa diambil di negara mana aja, bisa ditransfer lagi (^_^). Tapi syaratnya berat euy… harus bisa bahasa dulu (^_^).
Kalo ga, ya… ilmu (pelem) yang bisa didapet terbatas…. he he he….

YOSH…. mari belajar bahasa Jepang lebih rajin…
Biar bisa nonton lebih banyak (^_^)
SEMANGAAAAAAAT!!!!!

I HATE Goodbye (>_<)

YOOOOOOOW…….

There will always a Goodbye time for every Meeting
And I HATE it very much…..

It’s been 5　months since I came to Japan and meet them.
They are the senpai that pick me up at the time I arrived here.
It’s like a tradition, that whenever the newcomer come, all the former students (in this exchange program) will pick up and show around the city, take a short tour to the supermarket, shop etc. to find and buy the things for daily life.
Then, not only that, we also become more than just senpai(senior)-kohai(junior) relationship, it’s like a family, especially that’s what I feel.
Despite that we come from different country, but it doesn’t matter.

We often Chit chat to each other, party, travel, sight seeing together. All the sad and fun things together.
Now, it comes the time for them to leave this Country and back to their country coz they already finished the program.
Each of them gave me really wonderful and unforgettable memories, that made me wanna see them again.

Here are the people that already went back…

From left to right:
Ekco
Thx for playing PS3 with me
Wen Hai
thx for helping me bring my SUPER HEAVY suitcase, I still remember that till now
Tammy
I promise you that I’ll make a cheesecake as delicious as u can make :D. Thanks for the tools and recipe
Rongrong
You help me a lot with life in here…. sorry that I can’t see u off that time
Tommi
I’ll miss your “f**k” and weird style in my pics
Risto
Tall Estonian guy that looks straightforward from outside, but really nice inside. Never had a nice friend like u :). I still remember the last thing u said to me before leave, “Nice meeting you, little fellow“.

Everytime I send them off in the Bus or Train station, it really made me feel sad, even crying a little bit when I hug them in the last time before they leave.
Dunno why everytime this goodbye time comes, I hate it very much. Start from Kribow’ers, ComLab’ers, IF’ers, etc. and now all the senpai will go.
But, still, everytime I said goodbye, I also said “hope we can meet again in the future” and deep in my heart, I believe it will happen someday.

Yeah, I’ll believe in it, that I’ll meet them again someday, somewhere in the future.
Even if it’s not in this world, then I’d be in the eternal world later…
C U guys…..

アンクルン　－　ANGKLUNG

YOOOOOOOW…….

YOSH… after four months in Japan…. and learn Japanese Language almost everyday (including homework, quiz, etc.), I can feel that my nihonggo is improved (^_^)
Really thank you for All the Sensei who taught me up till’ now…

So, this time I’m tryin’ to write in Japanese (^_^). Actually this is part of my task in da class.. But, whatever (^_^), just wanna write it as a part of memorial of my life in Japan.
And as the title said, It’s about ANGKLUNG, coz I like Angklung and I’m proud to be Indonesian. (^_^)

アンクルンは　たけで　つくったがっき　です。インドネシア　の　でんとうてきながっきです。

これが　アンクルン　です

一つの　アンクルンは　一つの　おとをだします。
もし、
ド、レ、ミ、ファ、ソ　の　おと　を　だしたかったら、アンクルンが　いつつ　ひつようです。

小さい　アンクルンは　高いおとを　だします。大きい　アンクルンは　低いおとを　だします。
たとえば、この　大きいアンクルンは「ミ」です。小さいアンクルンも「ミ」です。でも、サイズはちがいますね

アンクルン　の　えんそう　の　しかたは：

アンクルンをもって。つよくふったら、大きいおとがでます。
それから、やさしくふります。つよくふらないでください。そして、あまりはやくもふらないでください。

一つの　アンクルンは　一つの　おとしか　だしませんすから、一人で　えんそうする　ことはできません、ちょっと　むずかしいです。ふつう　十五人か　二十人　の人と　いっしょに　えんそうします。
たとえば、一人の人は　三つアンクルンをもちます。たとえば　ド、レ、ミ　です。ほかの人は二つ　アンクルンを　もちます。

アンクルン　の　えんそうします。

いろいろなおんがくを　アンクルンで　えんそうする　ことが　できます。でんとうてきな　おんがくから　げんだいおんがくまで　アンクルンで　えんそうする　ことが　できます。クラシックおんがくもえんそうできます。

これは　アンクルン　の　えんそう　の　ビデオ　です。

みなさんがインドネシアに　行ったら　ぜひ　きいてみてください。

P.S. Thx to Oliver for taking the pics, and Ulung for sending the pics :).
