West Side Story

I was forcing my family to watch West Side Story with me in Cologne. The Broadway Team is doing roadshow to Europe :)

Singing and dancing was perfect! Music as well. We watched them in Kölner Philarmonie. The accoustic of the theater was really great. Maria, played by Elena Maria and Tony, played by Liam Tobin are such a great singer and dancer. Anita as well. I really like it. One thing I think could be better is the stage setting. Laskar Pelangi's stage was much more alive and nicer. I think the stage setting of West Side was too simple, though the lighting was actually great.

I miss PSUMB somehow :)

Fireworks, burn my exams :P

Markus, Nandea, Ines, Jessica, Johann and I went to watch fireworks at Brückenkopfpark Jülich. The ticket costs us 9,5€ -13€ for a day, but thanks to Alexander Peters, who told us that we can watch them also from outside, we watched for free :) I like the japanese fireworks better. I don't know why. I think, the music was louder, well, the fireworks were also much louder than spanish one, but I mean here, from outside I heard the music much better. They played "River flows in you"!! With piano, lovely. This is the video of it. Enjoy ;) (turn on your speaker a bit louder to hear the song better)

(Little) Sister :)

Kanya Pratita Wanaditya.

I met her in 2006 when we joined PSUMB as junior for the first time. She was actually citizen of Bekasi, but unfortunatelly she moved to Jakarta (gak gaul :P)

My first impression is: she is too small and too cute for being a junior high student. haha.

Even I can't believe that in 2009 she was a senior high student!! Her face still looked like a 8 year-old-girl.

But I like her, she is just like a little sister for me. The fact is we went to the same primary school, we got even the same teacher when we were in the 5th grade! We went to the same high school. She was also in X-5 and XI-IPA-3. Sudah kujampi-jampi emang. hahaha.

We got closer and closer, especially after I was moved to Pit Percussion :) I had a great moment with you in PSUMB, Nya :D She's younger but she plays better than me. I learned lot of things from her. 

You know what? I went home last year, and I just didn't believe it. She's growing up (just a bit from the height hahaha) : she was 17, the instrument coordinator of pit-percussion, falling in love,  is maturer than before, she wears often skirts and high heels! But she still looked like 10!

Now, she is 18. Has just graduated from high school. Has been accepted in University of Indonesia, Department of Architecture! Damn, Sis, you're not little anymore :P 

So proud of you, Kanya :* You rock! Go run get your dream. I miss you :* :* :*

<--- Kanya at the graduation party. Her high heels is higher than mine! I can't even wear the one higher than 3 cm. (dita, go to hell). She is pretty, isn't she? :)

Darling, (never)set me free!

Sayangnya aku tidak bisa menebak mengapa dia tidak bisa membalas messageku yg terakhir. Mungkin dia lupa. Seperti dulu-dulu. Ah sebal rasanya. Terakhir aku bercerita bahwa aku ingin chatting dengannya, walaupun bukan sesuatu yang penting. Tapi bukan juga mau masih ingin tahu masalah pribadinya. Apalagi masalah dia dengan pacarnya yang baru. Sebenarnya aku tidak begitu ingin tahu apa yang dia kerjakan di ujung dunia sana. Apalah dayaku, aku tidak lagi punya kuasa untuk menyelamatkan dia dari semua 'kebodohan-kebodohan' yang dia lakukan. Well, aku mendeskripsikannya begitu. Atau bisa kukatakan lebih halus 'ketidakdewasaannya'.

Hanya ada satu alasan mengapa aku kembali menghubunginya setelah sekian lama kami berpisah. Dan alasan ini sayangnya untukku sedikit penting. Aku kembali tersedot pada masa lalu. Tiga tahun lalu ketika kami masih bersama. Dan ketika hubungan ini menjadi sulit karena dimensi jarak dan waktu. Hampir setiap hari dia mengirimkan pesan singkat kepadaku „I pray to God that He will let me to be yours forever“. Selama itu, entah dia sadar atau tidak, aku tidak pernah mengomentari hal itu. Ketika kami memutuskan untuk mengakhiri hubungan kami, atau tepatnya aku yang meminta, sempat beberapa kali dia mengungkapkan, „I still can't let you go“. Though, I have set him in my mind and heart free. In fact that he is ,since 2 or 3 months after we broke up, again in a relationship. Well I was angry at first, but now I don't actually mind. I know it just didn't work out between us. Aku hanya penasaran. Despite the fact that he IS in a relationship, has he set me free?

Orang Jawa terkadang masih kental dengan budaya pamali, tabu, dan lain-lain. Menyumpahi dan mengumpat adalah bukan sesuatu yang bisa dianggap main-main. Berbicara, hendaknya hati-hati. Satu yang aku ingat, cerita sorenya di mobil, ditemani AC yang kalah dingin dengan angin di luar dan ujung puntung yang menyala. Kala itu dia bercerita tentang seminar pancaran aura yang baru saja dia ikuti. „Dit, orang itu yang kasih seminar, dia bisa 'liat' masalah orang. Misalnya nih, ada satu ibu-ibu dia perkawinannya selalu gagal. Orang ini bilang, si ibu ini masih 'diikat' sama mantannya yang lama dan dia menyarankan si ibu ini supaya datang ke mantan pacarnya dan menyelesaikan langsung masalahnya“. Nah, you see my problem?

Beberapa bulan setelah kami putus, aku juga mulai 'lirik-lirik' lagi. Setidaknya aku tertarik pada 4 pria. Setidaknya empat yang kuingat.(Hahaha). Semuanya bisa kudeskripsikan gagal. (Jiahaha). Sayangnya termasuk dengan si pemilik jari-jari cantik. Mungkin memang belum saatnya. Toh masih muda, bertualang jauh lebih penting. Aku cuma berusaha menghindari sesuatu yang tidak penting seperti cerita sore di atas. If he has set me free, that should be a good sign, which is not so hard to realize that from what's happening around me. He is a good guy, you know, pray regularly, really good moslem I should say. And I believe somehow if he prays for me, then I'll meet my mr.right soon :)

Suddenly Baby Brother

Do you know that an elder brother or sister usually envy her or his little baby brother or sister just because all affection that she or he used to have from her or his parents is suddenly gone? As long as I can remember, I never had that feeling before as I was a kid. But I have this feeling currently! :(

It happens since my brother came here to Germany. Trust me it feels so bad.

I still get all I need, even what I don't really need, like smart phone. My parents live now alone in the house. My dad doesn't go to work at the moment. But I had such an impression, that they are so busy there.

I just realize currently that I don't know anything about my aunty's coming marriage. I was totally shocked when my dad sent us photos from the proposal night. I asked myself, wheather I am the only the part of family who didn't know anything about this. and I think the answer is a yes :(

I stayed the whole weekend even from Friday at home to learn all the exam stuff and I tell my parents that I'm home, let me know if you have time skyping with me. In fact, they didn't online at all. My brother just called my dad on viber, but the signal wasn't that good in my hometown. Tada, in 10 Minutes skype is online! Ha! I skyped them, but no answer. Alright. Pity me.

Anyway I just wrote my first exam. Thanks God it was good. 5 to go! :)

Oya, my parents didn't remember that I'm having exam today, they just remembered at my brother's remedial exams and wished him luck. Great!
