My Blog

The silly, quick, and sarcastic dialogue is never lost from my interest in watching a movie. This week I am in to the Gilmore Girls Series. The 3rd season was already finish watched though it has been broadcasted on the TV, but It’s worth to rewatch.

I am getting positive to catch another concert this month. Thanks to my Associate Professor that moved this month seminar schedules to earlier morning time so I have just enough time in the afternoon to go watch the concert.

Hmmm… tonight I called her. It’s nice to hear your voice, hope you’ll okay. The secret is safe with me, I guess…. heeee

This weekend I had this fun sporty time. Though, I had to skip my japanese class and missed the last time seeing my Canadian friend.

There was this tournament to honor one of our beloved friend who already finished his PhD study and will go back to his hometown soon. The tennis tournament started at 12 pm, right under the hottest and brightest sky. It was not just the play that tiring, the sun light in the middle of the day also drained all of us. And in the end, we still had the good time together for the last time.

This going home friend left some of his things to me. One thing that I was glad to be given is a guitar with a hardcase included. I haven’t touch a guitar since years, since I tried to work on Balinese music. I already tried to get a guitar from other friend before but I should share it with other three friends, and then the guitar was broken in unreasonable way. There were also other things he gave me but the  guitar is really make myself just like the old times: being alone in the room, got a song played on the PC, put the guitar in lap, then sing…

I hope this will lead me to finish my work immediately. My supervisor already gave me schedules of conference to submit to. Jrengggg… jrengggg…. jrenggg….

Spring vacation ahead …

No friends around …

Just tune to sad love songs …

Hahahahah

Bad poem, isn’t it? Yeah it is. The sad love songs part is true, but they can’t make me sad. I already decided not to leaving any space for sadness inside. (Yeah, man no vacancy for you #%@$!!!). All space was already lodged in by the "yippy kaiy yee" and "boink .. boink" feelings.(Thanks to PPI, same PPI in different stand … gosshh those coincidences) Jamie Walters, Tommy Page, Michael W Smith, and Richard Marx come on! Give me your best shot!

I don’t have anything to post recently since I always look everything was happened just like the way it had to be. But not this time, suddenly I realize that everyday I wake up in the land of coincidences. Though it is so far away from home, many things resemble home. Mostly the people.

Each new persons I met here, surely has close connection to my friends back home. And the more I get closer to them, I feel more closer to home also. I don’t know if this is kind of home-sickness symptomps. But, I think I don’t need to feel missing homies.

This thoughts start when I accidently chat with this woman. She is just a woman just come up at a blog site. My friends like to visit her blog, but I don’t really keen to build new blog beside this friendster’s blog. Not now I think. Then, I accidently stream to one of online radio. The woman is on the air, and turns out that she is one of the DJ. A little view of her profile, I found out that she lives near my homies. I tried to open a chat conversation, then she came out to be my high school senior. What a small world it is.

Then I started to look back to things that happen since I got here. Many friends in the memory started to come out one by one. Junior high school friends, childhood friends, I don’t know who else will surprise me later. I really look forward for the surprises.

By the way, I passed the exam. It’s not so surprising compare to that one above. Cause after the exam, I still have a long way to work on anything.

12.20 local time…

The phone rang. Fujisaka answered ‘em then passed it to me. Professor’s voice on the other side start to zapp me with shocking news.

"February 3rd, at 4 pm. You will have the examination presentation".

I didn’t know how to react about this. Some part of me feel relieve, but the other part was beating so hard considering the preparation that I haven’t finished yet.

Maybe this is the right time for me to start preparing everything for the exam. I haven’t tried to prepare everything properly in the past. Always have them at the last minutes. It is kinda habbit, a bad one. I really have to change that. So, let’s start to prepare.

First concert abroad ever. I was dreaming to have a nasty crowd jumping under the stage, with yelling in every word they sing. Mohawks everywhere, alcohol-smelled people shouting oud loud, glass bottles of beer in every corner, gosshh… I thought I was gonna have those moments.

So, I took off at 4.15 from campus. The bus came right away, the train already awaited at the station, and arrived at Sakae just few minutes before 6 pm.  I thought I would loss in the big city of Sakae, wandered for the concert hall. But, it really didn’t happen. The concert hall just right across the subway exit. And the concert hall, you wouldn’t imagine, a fancy-shinning building with big glass windows, yellowish "remang-remang" lights, and marmer stone all over the walls and floors. "It is not supposed to be the concert", that was I thought before. But, when I see some "romantic-nearly wed-holding hand" couples having the DT posters in their hand, I said to myself, "I must be dreaming, oo… a dream it is".

And the concert hall, wooooowww…. surely look like a concert hall, but not for this band, my worshipped band. Maybe for the philharmonic orchestras or others with Mozarts or Bachs partiture orchestra, the place is really proper. And I start to look around for the audiences. My gooossshhh…. most of them is typical, men are in suits and women are bloused-skirt outfit. I kept wondering myself, whether they really know what they will watch on the stage that night by having those kind of looks. The worst part is when a woman actually sat next to me. She really looks like a 2 children-mother to me. And before the show started, she tried to fix her make up first. Wakakakakakak … real concert, huh…

Finally, I just make myself comfortable as the others do. I sang all the backsound music while waiting they started. Make a drummer or guitarist-like gesture when there is a drum or guitar part in the songs. And after the lights went out, the band was performed…. this where the Hell-Yeah parts started.

Best Regard for James LaBrie, Mike Portnoy, Jordan Rudess, John Petrucci, and John Myung. See you guys soon!

Yapp… the holiday will be over soon. Tomorrow I’m gonna start the new school days, with the entrance exam ahead. Fiuuuhhh…. what’s it gonna be like?

Nice holiday I had before, visiting Universal Studios, OASIS 21, wandering to Hamamatsu, and a concert on this Jan 11th. Start on thursday, my life will be overwhelmed with presentations, equations derrivation, programs building, and other "yet-sophisticated but cool" stuffs. Hey, it’s my life, I have to face them all.

Can’t Hardly Wait…

It isn’t really a fire. It is made up so we can keep going on when things get tough.

Goossshhh…. I rated this movie 12 out of 10. It showed what real friendship is.

Akhirnya…

Setelah beberapa lama menunggu-nunggu,

Dapet juga film Dead Poets Society di DVD.

We really have to have something which we stay alive with and we live for.

I have a lot, but don’t know which is.
