Flashback: All About Indonesian Music

Konbanwa, everyone..
Oke, langsung ke topik aja. (Males banget buat basa-basi :p)

Jadi gini, beberapa menit yang lalu, aku nonton pembukaan IMB malam ini. Dan apa yang terjadi? Aku langsung pengen "WUEEKSS" gara-gara ternyata lagu yang dibawain di pembukaan tu lagunya orang alayers dan plagiarist, SM*SH. Ya Allah, asli deh KAGET. Jadi keinget, beberapa minggu lalu nonton derings, SM*SH live dancing, but i thought that they was lipsinging. Masa mirip banget sama yang di klipnya? Pokoknya ketahuan banget lipsing-nya gara-gara pas nadanya agak panjang, dia udah nutup mulutnya. (Woi, melenceng dari topik!). Terus beberapa minggu sebelumnya lagi, aku iseng-iseng nonton MTV Alay, eh ketemu klipnya si SM*SH ini. NGAKAKS asli!! Waktu aku nonton itu, SM*SH belum terkenal, temen-temenku aja pada belum tahu. Haha, jadi kebawa suasana NGAKAKS hahaha..

(loading please... LOL times for SM*SH)

Oke, jadi aku mau bilang sesuatu yang sedikit "important". Kalau lihat musik-musik Indonesia sekarang, aku lihat penurunan kualitas. Bener-bener turun loh, kalau kalian juga perhatiin. Dulu, musik Indonesia tu kayaknya terasa banget terus rasanya kayak "Never Die" ato "Immortal" gitu. Tapi sekarang, bagus beberapa bulan aja terus hilang entah ke mana. Aku agak disappointed juga sih, kalau kayak gini 'kan jadinya bener-bener nggak berkembang. Masalah nge-BOOM-nya album juga ada di perilisan album. Kayaknya sekarang ini, band/boy band/singer aja, yang nggak bagus-bagus amat suaranya, nggak kreatif, tapi berhasil buat dan bawa SATU lagu aja (remember, JUST one), langsung melonjak dan bener-bener, kayak nggak terkalahkan. Tapi denger lagu-lagu lainnya, beeh, nggak nahan di kuping! Jadi inget kata-kata vokalis band KASABIAN asal Inggris, dia tu marah-marah sama band/singer jaman sekarang. Keluar 1 single, ngeboomnya ampe sedunia. Tapi lagu-lagu lainnya jelek banget, kayak sampah. (Not me, but that vocalist). And the last, ROCKER isn't DEAD! gitu deh kata-katanya, soalnya, rata-rata para rocker dunia itu dalam 1 albumnya aja, semua lagunya hampir terkenal semua dan enak-enak. Coba di Indonesia, look inside yourselves. Dari macam-macam band yang sering nongol di depan TV, lagunya itu-itu aja. HAMPIR nggak pernah ganti. Mereka nggak berani ngerilis album kali ya? Kayaknya mereka merasa 1 lagu itu udah cukup buat modal terkenal. Tapi kenyataannya,

"Dunia Entertainment itu menyakitkan. Nggak seperti di depan panggung, belakang panggung sangatlah hancur dan berantakan. Tapi, walaupun begitu, mereka berusaha menampilkan yang terbaik di hadapan Audience."

Aku tau aku bukan yang sempurna, whatever you say, it's just words. I just give an opinion to my beloved country, Indonesia :)

Yesterday For Today

Konnichiwa minna-san!
Like everyday, I'll tell you about my AWESOME stories!
From yesterday 'til today. Check it out!

YESTERDAY..
is about an important events. I told them that i DISLIKE any perform bout Fashion Show or Dance. But I LIKE something that fills my life, yeah thats MUSIC, maybe a vocal group? I don't think thats hard. Band?? I LOVE IT MUCH! But, in the Arts lesson, the must important events, the way to get a better score, we MUST follow the vocal group and FASHION SHOW? Are they NUTS!?? I HATE fashion show. Something strange, and make me confused. Why? Because it's weird, walking on the red carpet, with their styles, show their "flirtatious" eyes, a "swaying movement", or something makes me "WUEEEEKSSS". Oh GOD PLEAASEEEE! I need the "click" remote one, to pass this weak moment. Another experience? Maybe i'll tell it through the stories i make. You'll see.

TODAY..
is about a tired job. We were cleaning our new class in the 9.7 room. Because the first grade room have done, the first grade student will present in normal shift like us--the second and third grade. But you know what? Before we get our new fan class--class with fan inside--like I told you on the post before, we must through the hardest way, because the owner class was disappointed--they was soo disappoint cause they must loss their fan. And.... what make me feel "wanna kick her--9.7's guardian class--ass and head" is, they need their MONEY back, because they won't use their fan again. And she was mad to our beloved guardian class, and she was mad to my classmate, and another things, the reason "why" i wanna kick her. WAAAA~ it called FURY!

Another story? Hmm.. I think i'll make my own short story, then you'll read it like you read a novels, or something like that :)

Okay, I think thats over. We'll meet in the other posts, guys! :D

Nothing Interesting Today

Konbanwa, everyone!

Today isn't too special. Because today i had studied, and maybe social knowledge is the most boring lesson. But the one thing i wanna tell you that one of my friend asked me a stupid question. Yeah, the others? Nothing interesting. JUST trying to keep posting bout something :)

Hey, maybe i'll tell you that my class room will change into the 9.7 room. Woow, a fan in that class! You should try to keep your smile, because the unfortunate events will come to you, like me yeah. Trust me, key? Maybe you don't get fan or AC, but maybe you'll get a car, or a big house, just keep hoping and smiling!

Band Festival

Konnichiwa, minna-san! our topics ..

SHOCKED is when i heard my friends that they wanna follow the band festival. You know? I didn't thought about bad feels until one of our personnel band said to me that we must enter the band festival on saturday. We'll bring the Cancer song by My Chemical Romance and Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade. I'm so sorry to them because when we trained our skill, i always used the wrong way to cheat. In keyboard (i mean a kind of music instrument, not one of computer forces), i can use the transpose menu to step across some note (and "note" in this text must be the symbol like a bean sprout, some of them is white and the others is black, you can find it in music lesson) because the chords was too hard to play. So, i was using this menu to play the Cancer song, and they want to join the festival, perform the Cancer song, with complete instrument, that i don't know where is the transpose menu if the keyboard is different with mine. So, now i must train my Cancer skill again, hardly. Oh, i hope i understand the menus in the keyboard i'll play in the festival later. You know, i must try it over and over again until i'm ready when the deadline come.

Hope so.. ;(

Oh yeah, in this holiday, i'm very tired and bored, hope one of you wanna come to my house. Then lets play some interactive games and we can cook together, smiling, laughing, with full of happiness. :)

Another Happiness, Better Gifts

Good evening, guys. How is your day? Good? How bout me? SPECTACULAR!

In this morning, i haven't got any good feels. Just wanna know how the school report work. I dislike my english score, and was frustated. I don't care about my ranking, just my english. It was a dissapointed score before Maam Yuli told that there's a mistake in our english and math score. And it happened in our class, JUST our class. You know? My score was 77 and it was the WORST score i've ever got! I never thought that i'll get that score, NEVER. I don't really care bout my math, because it was 80, i think it isn't bad at all. So, when Maam Yuli entered my class, she was staring at our eyes then she "weeeewh"ed. She opened her score book and told us that she was very sorry bout her fault. Actually, it wasn't her fault, but it WAS the scorer team. She told about their neglect and they were fixing our score. I feel soo LUCKY and thanks to GOD whos always never sleep. You must know it, from the score 77, it changed into 90! How lucky i am :) I never thought that GOD gimme this way,

"a complicated life, going to feel how painful this world, disenchanting caused stupid promise, and finally we do understand, what is the meaning of all this shit."

That's all of my journal day. In the score pages. We'll enter the different doors, guys.

Finally I finished the end of the unfortunate events novels! You know, that was the AWESOME novels i've ever read! Lemony Snicket, the author of that novels, wrote the description about somethings soo details. Until i imagine by myself, the world he created. Soo perfect, and i don't know how this story ends. A sad one? But if i say thats happy ending, maybe we can find the sad one in the chapter 13. I also LOVE Violet Baudelaire, shes a smart oldest sister, who has been create many invention. And Sunny Baudelaire, the Baudelaire last sister, shes a little girl who likes cooking or something thats not too different. I HATE Ishmael, even the evil is Olaf, but Ishmael was a resent old one, oh I can't tell you how AMAZING this story! You must read thats by yourselves! I guarantee that you like that novels, I swear!

For today, i got another interesting experience. We were playing a games, guess what? My friend, Andreas made some murder case and told us (Me and of course my awesome friends) to solve the case. I just can solve a one case, and i think i'm interest to that case. I never solve any case, I always need a help to solve it. I can't analyze about some clues like Sherlock Holmes or Shinichi Kudo. But i'm proud of myself, I can do any good things with my english skill. I told him (Andreas) to make a mystery novel, and i promised him that i will read it. He had a big brain, full of unlimited imagination and experience, with many novels around him. I really like the cases he created.

"It was simple, but when you make it with your unlimited imagination, your experience must be the perfect ever!"

First Day, Another Experience

Okay, good night everyone! I hope ure still wanna read this. Hope so..

Okay then, i wanna tell you something 'bout today. Present in the first day at the school after holiday, was soo boring activities. But before i tell you everything, they seems boring to me. And then, when i said, "I bring my notebook!" everyone looked at me and one of them told me to play the house game again. Everythings changed. So, before i open my notebook, my guardian class told me to clean the class before we play. Okay, maybe it isn't an important thing. And then, one of my friends can't be patient, she really wanted to see hows horror is the game. We were ready to play the games until i didn't realize that many people was there--standing behind my notebook, wanna see it together.

Oh, i forget to told you that in the first day at school we weren't doing anything like studying, or something bored. I still remember how they asked me to open my notebook, and they were so happy when i took my notebook from my bag. They was so busy until i typed the name "The House 2" in the searching box at google. They already took their position to watch that horror games, after i realize there was so many people behind my back. When i've done to prepare the games, i sat in the most behind in that place, so far from my notebook, and i will not see the ghost sooo real and big.

Ah, i forgot. Maybe i should not tell this story to you. It was embarassing, the student of junior high school in third grade, playing this horror game with they creepy faces, and put their hands in their faces, ready to yelling with their biggest voices, and close their eyes when the ghost started to scare them. suddenly, with his big voices, he was coming to my class, standing between the corridor and the door. I still remember when he yelled, it scarer than the horror games we played. Mr. Killer--thats how we called him--was staring us, while we closed our eyes because we were afraid caused the ghosts. He was mad. He told that we're so selfish because we didn't want to give our cleaning set to the second grade students. Nah, you know what? We didn't know that the students wants to borrow our cleaning set. After all this shit things, we were continued our games until it has done.

One question, why i must tell this story to you? Isn't important? No? Okay, if you think so, don't read this or another post again. I just share my experience to you, and i trained my writing skill because i wanna be a novels writers (and this is the last things that i mustn't tell you).

I think thats all another of my experience today, with english? Isn't bad? Or you don't think so? Gimme critics and solutions :) Caou guys! So long and goodnight, guys! There are soo many ways, waiting us to take them in our adventure in the simple and ordinary life!

Take One: With Stephanie, Action!

Di sore hari saat aku sedang menanti azan maghrib, ada panggilan dari luar rumah. Ternyata Stephanie, ia meminta tolong padaku untuk membantu mengganti themes blognya. Saat aku menyalakan laptopku, aku menyadari bahwa laptopnya low batterai. Jadi, aku berusaha mencolokkan charger laptopnya. Aku berusaha meraba-raba lubang stop kontak tanpa menyadari bahwa stop kontak dalam keadaan menyala. Tiba-iba aku merasa kehilangan kesadaran, lalu sekujur lengan kananku terasa seperti ditimpa oleh kucingku. Aku kaget, lalu ujung jari telunjukku terasa nyeri, seperti kesetrum.

"Kenapa ko Yu?" tanya Stephanie samil memasang tampang keheranan.

"Nggak apa-apa, tapi tadi rasanya kayak..." aku berhenti bicara. Takut terdengar oleh ayahku.

"Mbak kesetrum ya?" tanya adikku.

Aku wanti-wanti ayahku tidak mendengarnya. Aku hanya diam.

"Kenapa Yu?" tanya Stephanie lagi.

"Nggak. Nggak apa-apa. Udahlah, biarin aja."

"Pasti aneh, 'kan?" tanya Stephanie lagi.

"Iya sih, aneh," jawabku sambil meraba-raba ujung jariku yang kesetrum. Lalu aku menatap stop kontak itu.

"Untung aku nggak mati gara-gara kesetrum," ujarku. Ini merupakan pengalamanku kesetrum dengan Volt (tegangan) yang cukup besar. "Kalau aku terlalu lama memegangnya pasti aku bisa mati."

Akhirnya aku pun melanjutkan tugasku membantu Stephanie mengganti themes untuk blognya.

Setelah urusan kami berdua selesai, ia bertanya padaku. Seperti biasa, dengan senyum-senyum :D

"Yu, ngapain lagi kita?"

"Gak tau saya," sambil mengutak-atik laptop yang ada di hadapanku.

"Main The House 2 aja yuk?" ajak adikku yang sedang menonton TV.

"No no, never!" pekikku.

"Nggak apa-apa, Yu. Kan rame-rame, pasti seru!" ujar gadis yang biasa dipanggil Tepi itu.

"Ya deh. Bener ya, jangan bising."

Akhirnya kami membuka homepage The House 2. Pertama-tama kami masih menutup mata, ketakutan. Kadang sedikit memekik di balik selimut. Lama-kelamaan kami tenggelam dalam permainan itu. Hari pun semakin gelap. Kami tahu tidak baik bermain game horror saat malam hari, tetapi rasa penasaran kami makin memuncak. Apalagi setelah adikku menyarankan sesuatu.

"Eh, coba The House 1 yuk? Katanya lebih serem..."

"Tiidak," jawabku sambil mengambil laptop.

"Eh, coba aja yuk!" seru Tepi.

"Oke, oke."

"Tapi aku takut nanti pulangnya.." ujar Tepi kemudian.

"Gampang itu."

Akupun mencari gamenya di google, seperti biasa. Kemudian kami mulai menutupi wajah kami dengan selimut. Awalnya aku ragu untuk melanjutkan, tetapi adikku dan Tepi ingin sekali melihatnya. Setelah memasuki ruang pertama, kami cukup kaget dan takut dibuatnya. Saat masuk ke ruang kedua, kami tidak tahan dan akhirnya menghentikan permainan.

"Udah deh Yu, entar kebawa mimpi."

"Ya, aku juga udah takut."

"Eh, gimana ini aku pulangnya. Gelap.."

"Nih, nonton ini aja dulu," ajakku sambil membuka folder video di laptopku. Aku membuka masing-masing videonya. Stephanie mulai tertawa melihat video-video lucuku.

"Sumpah itu bodoh banget!" serunya sambil tertawa.

Akhirnya sampai video terakhir ditampilkan, ia pun memutuskan untuk pulang. Sebelumnya ia sudah  menghabiskan secangkir teh yang disajikan oleh ibuku. Ia pun pamit dengan orangtuaku, serta pada kucingku.

"Tante, Brandon ikut pulang ya? Hehe.." senyum Stephanie.

Akhirnya ia pun berjalan pulang, menghilang dalam kegelapan. Aku memperhatikan sosoknya yang menghilang dari balik pagar rumah.

"Baiklah, selesai sudah. Aku harus makan malam."

Begitulah akhir kisah di malam pertama tahun 2011. Have a nice day, guys! :)
