That’s why I fall in love with Jazz

There’re only two types on music that make me crazily in love. The first and the most is Jazz. And the second is the britpop music. Jazz, for me is very very enjoyable. I keep swinging when listen to this music. Everynight after working, i always play The Jazz Music. I enjoy every single thing of it. My favorite jazz musicians are Incognito, Lysa Eykdal, Olivia, Michael Buble, Richard Elliot, Jammie Cullum, Kenny G, workshy, Dave Brubeck, George Duke, Four play, coco d’or, Maliq & d’essential, Barry Likumahua, and many more. I love jazz. For me, jazz is the high class music. It has high musicality. As i said before, i don’t like the low class music which everybody likes, and without the adequate musicality. Because for me, music is for being enjoyed. Music is for being the inspiration. The jazz music is exclusive. Just some people who can really enjoy it. Music can make you look younger. Because music makes our left brain and right brain balance.

He’s my friend named josh who introduces me deeper to Jazz. He’s a saxophonist. He used to give me all the best jazz songs to me. If he got the new one, he used to call me and gave it all to me. And then, the more i listen to jazz, the more they grow on me. Usually i enjoy the jazz music with a cup of hot chocolate. I think it matches between jazz and hot chocolate. And I swing with them. I always spend my night by listening to jazz. And it can make me relax. Very enjoyable. That’s why i fall in love with Jazz.

My Childhood On Playing Piano

Yesterday, i saw a small concert of children in the mall. They’re so cute. And it reminded me to my childhood when i used to perform in the piano concert. Since i was 4 years old, i’ve joined the piano course. That’s because one day, there was a piano exhibition on mall when i was being there with mom and dad. Suddenly i begged to mom to join the piano course. Mom and dad allowed me to join the piano course but with One Agreement. The agreement i made with mom was i was not allowed for leaving the piano course whatever happen before i graduate from the piano course. I accepted the agreement. Then I started to learn piano. It was so fun. Maybe i was born with the music talent inside of me. Almost my piano’s friends were chinese and so do the piano’s teachers. I enjoyed playing and learning piano. My piano’s teacher named Miss Helden is a kind of dicipline. She taught me firmly. I had to play piano well, and there were no wrong fingers on the piano. If i did mistake, she would punish me. But i love the way she taught me piano. At first i was affraid with the way she taught me. But finally, the more dicipline she taught me, the more energetic i felt on learning piano. Once when i was kid, i felt bored of playing piano. And i begged to mom to leave the piano course. But mom was angry to me. She said that i was not allowed for leaving the course. And i must kept my promise to her. And then i didn’t quit the course, and still enjoyed the course.

Since i was kid and had joined the piano course, i was often involved in every piano concert. From the small concert till the big concert. I enjoy everytime i play piano. Mom dad always came when i performed on the piano concert and gave me support. From the stage, i could see their happy and proud face seeing their daughter played piano in the concert. Playing piano like something that unable to be apart from me. When i was on college, my campus has 2 pianos in the back of auditorium. 1 Grand Piano, and 1 an ordinary piano. When i finished my class, i went to the auditorium and played piano. Just for had a rest and very enjoyable.

Mom ever said to me that someday when i grow up and graduate from college, you have another skill that you can use it besides your main knowledge and skill. You can use your piano skill to earn money. But through it all i always play piano with all my heart. Because it can cheer me up. It can make me relax. And it can make me happy. I keep on playing piano forevermore. And one day if i have children, i want they can play piano well too. Aamiin.

Disappeared from The Circulation

Several night ago, there’re so many my old-friends (friends from college, friends from school) called me and asked where i am now. They said that i disappeared from them. They searched me on Facebook, Friendster, and twitter and they didn’t find me. Yes,, they can’t find me in any social networking because i don’t have social networking. I’ve deleted them all since april 2009. I just have blog for being my place to write (i do love writing), and some emails from gmail, from telkomselblackberry, from my office. And i just have blackberry messanger and gtalk for chatting. By the way the Blackberry Messanger, it helps me much for communicating with my old-bestfriends. I deleted my yahoo! account because it’s been hacked by stranger people.

I ever wrote about live without social nterworking before in this and many contradictions about it. How could i delete my social networking. I just let them talk as they want. As long as they don’t hurt and bother me. But the most important is it’s FULLY MY RIGHT for deleting them. Even some of my prajab’s friends ever said to me, “how could you don’t have any social networking such as FB, FS, or Twitter. Because you’re such an IT’s people.”. And i replied them, “it’s fully my right for having a social networking or NOT.”. For me, it’s much more important for having blog than FB, FS, or Twitter. In this blog, i can write about everything. And it enriches my knowledge especially my english.

I often call my friends if i miss them. And i still keep in touch with them. And so they do. They often call me if they miss me. They just said that i disappeared from the circulation. Because they do wanna see me now, how do i look like now. They said that they often uploaded our pictures, but they can’t tag my pic. And there’re many comments about these photos. Even one of my bestfriends ika, she begs me to make my own twitter. hehehe. I know how much they miss me. Cause i do miss them all too. But be calm friends, you won’t lose the important informations about me. I’ll keep in touch with you all. So damn missing you all.

The wonderful “prajabatan” in Ciawi

Prajab? when the first time i joined prajab, i was lazy for joining it. Why? because prajab took 2 weeks of mine. I had to stay for 2 weeks in the dormitory, and had an unusual activities everyday for 2 weeks. We had to be very dicipline. We had to wake up so early every morning, then did sport. We are not allowed to be late in every activities. We used to eat reguraly three times a day, and had coffee break twice a day. And we had too many intensive activities. From early morning till 10 pm. We had so many assignments. We had to sing mars prajabatan and mars korpri. We had to do “Apel” every morning and night.

At the beginning of prajab, i was sick. I had fever. But alhamdulillah it didn’t go long. When i was sick, my friends especially my classmates always helped me. When i threw up, then my classmates (Mas roni, galuh, mb farah, mb astri, and etc) helped me. The males cleaned up the floor where i threw up, and the females took me to the bed for having a rest. I felt them all are my families. We had the feeling of togetherness in us. Oh god, thanks i found them as my friends and as my families. They’re all are so nice to me. And from that, i’m starting love this prajab. Because prajab has given me so many friends, made me dicipline. It didn’t matter if we had so many assignments, and have one punishment. We could still have fun together. Like our widyaiswara said to us, “prajab is our fun party”. Althought we’re so damn tired, but prajab is fun.

I have a nice new friends from prajab. When prajab is ended, all of us were sad. But we’re happy because we passed prajab 100 %. We can’t be together again everyday. We had different work. We’re gonna miss this moment. We miss our togetherness and our friendship. Prajab is fun. Let’s take a look our prajab pictures.
