Well hello! :D So after this blog died for like 3 months it's finally coming to live again. haha! I'm an art lover, especially music. My life would feel so empty and worthless without it and some of you guys probably have the same kind of mindset as I have. So, I joined the student choir at campus and I totally love it. And! they're very good. My senior just won the Gold prize in Busan Choral Festival 2010 for ethnic category and mixed. This is them singing Janger, a Balinese traditional song written by Guruh Soekaroputra who is the son of the first Indonesian president. His pieces are amazing and so timeless. I love that it sounds like gamelan and kecak because it reminds me of the beautiful Bali :) Ngiring ma jangeran di jabe tengahe.. are ki jang jangi janger kopyak pong are ki jang jangi janger kopyak pong Kopyak sede kopyak sede pakde dopong Kopyak sede kopyak sede pakde dopong Sreag sreog... Ngiring ma jangeran di jabe tengahe.... Are ki jang..... Are ...

Well hello hello! Sorry for the 100 years of vacum :D I've been very busy with going to university and you probably know how it is to be a first year. Also my Grandma moved to Jakarta and had to deal with house buyers and stuff. It's sold now so I'm back hoome! home sweet home! :D but with the lack of internet (One of the reason for the '100 years' update. lol :D). So... I don't know whether I've mentioned it before, thank GOD... I got into interior design and I'm so psyched (is that the right word 'phyched' for happy excited? blaaah) No calculus, not too much physics hahahaa... I swear I used to love math when I was in elementary... you know the 8 times 2, 12+3 part and the 'fun stuff'... After a lot of calculus, integrals, the complicated formulas they just made me lose my interest... :p Interior design is as you know, designing the interior part of a building. I used to think that it was just for homes, but it actually has broader ...

It's 2010! I mean, hey! who in the world doesn't watch YouTube ? :D Sometimes I like it even better than TV! haha! :D why  YouTube offers so much. Entertainment, education, reviews, tips, music, everything! And the best thing is that you can find almost everything in it and you won't get tired of it. There's always something new, something fun, something inspiring from the people around the world. Who said being a celebrity is hard? YouTube has proven that you don't have to be a movie star or a politician to be famous. Y ou just have to be yourself and show the world what you got :) Take Justin Bieber, Greyson Chance! They started their career from YouTube! And you probably know these: Charlie McDonnell 'charlieissocoollike', Dave Days 'davedays', Shane Dawson 'shanedawsontv', Elle Fowler 'allthatglitters21', Kandee Johnson 'kandeejohnson' (Those are my favourite channels on youtube :D). Who of them even thought that they...

You are sixteen going on seventeen waiting for life to start.... I bet you know the song that I'm quoting. It's Sixteen going on Seventeen the Maria and Liesl version, a soundtrack from the 1964's The Sound of Music <-- What a heartwarming family movie. I won't get tired of it :) Have you ever known some songs that you sing a lot but don't exactly know what it means. Or you know what it means but you just feel "it's a nice song and it has nice lyrics"? When I was younger I used to be like that. Sing a lot of songs and didn't really cared about what the message's trying to say. Like Mariah Carey's Hero, George Benson's Greatest love of All. But then as I got older and I listened to the songs. It made me go "Wow, that's so true". And that too is applied to the quote above. I'm 18 and I feel exactly that way (but then the song should be when you're 18 going on 19, LOL!) See, when you're in school. Everything...

The last time I saw her was back in 2003. Far away from my homeland Indonesia. It was in Belgium. We were only 11 year old kids. Old enough to understand the definition of friendship. She's an amazing person, still is and will always be to me. I remember the last time I get to see her. I had to go back to Indonesia. So she had a farewell party arranged for me with some friends from class. It was really sweet what they've done for me. We played and plucked a lot of raspberries from her garden and she said that I could have them all. Afterwards she and her mom drove me home. We talked a lot on the way of how we would send email and letters to each other in order to stay in touch. We got up to my appartment. The house was really messy so they couldn't get in. The last minutes were awkward. Our eyes were filled with tears, we just stood there staring at each other and we didn't know what to say. We weren't ready to say goodbye. Until her mom...
