What Was Great in April?

So, what was great in April? Sehr vieeelllleeee!!!

1.       Ging zum KKF Film mit Kak Izzan und einige Freunden und Freundinnen. This was not our first date, this was our second date. Our first date was in March, when he introduced me to his friends. Both were very nice. His friends are kind and friendly. I remember Kak Iyan also said that our faces were alike, hmm yes I agree haha but the first person who said that our face are alike was Mas Rofiq, 10^th semester student. He is also nice.

2.       My mother had her birthday on 4^th April. Ich habe ihr ein Kopftuch geschenkt and I think she likes it. I am happy.

3.       Being one of the committee of FBS International Talkshow in PLA. I didn’t really understand what it really was, did the other committees neither. This was 3^rd WD’s project and we just did it as the instruction. Ah kein problem, important is: I got new friends from this Talkshow and the speakers were from UK and Australia. Cool!

4.       Have been having violin lesson with my greatest teacher, Oka. Yes, violin lesson is the best lesson and Oka is the best teacher I’ve ever had. Oka is pretty pretty good in playing Viola. Viola is the alto of string, violin is the soprano, and Oka plays both very well. He also plays keyboard. Yes, we don’t need to ask about his talent. Auβerdem, he is veerryyy kind. I went to some concert with him and he didn’t mind to pick me up and take me home even though he lives in Bantul and I live in Sleman, quite far, wahr? And he came only to take me to buy violin’s spare part in crescendo and back for repairing my violin. Oh thanks!

5.       Went to Plenthong Konslet Concert in TBY, I got an invitation on behalf of Stupa, cool eh? I went with Aldo, he is one of Stupa’s crew. Actually, I wanted to come with Kak Izzan but he was in Lombok. Then I planned to go with Mini, Endra, and Bustam but hell Bustam went with his friend, Komar. So, mini didn’t get a ride. I remember Aldo offered me a ride the day before so I text him and finally I went with Aldo and Mini got a ride from Endra. The problem was: aldo and I came on behalf of Stupa and my friends come with tickets so we could not sit in the same line. Aldo and I sat on VVIP seat haha. Kak Izzan was angry because finally I went with Aldo, not with my friends. But what could I do then? Should I go home alone? Thank God, as I said before, Kak Izzan is a good guy, he understood and forgave me, thanks!

6.       Went to Campus exhibition in Gedung Wanitatama (by accident). By accident? Yeah! So, my father came to jogja that day and my sister and I met him at UIN. After that, I had to back home because my sister had to go with her friend. As usual I walked (actually kak Izzan wanted to pick me up but he was still in Lombok). On my way home, I saw a huge poster and I stopped. Wow it was campus exhibition! I decided to come inside and the exhibition was really ‘big’ but only few people came.

7.       Attending Seminar “How to Study in Germany” also by accident, because the seminar was one of the campus exhibition’s agenda.

8.       Went to Les Yeux Noirs concert in IFI/LIP with Alek. The show was great! It was my first time hearing gipsy music and I am interested. Les Yeux Noirs is one of my idols now. I wish I could play violin just like them. I will, someday! Oh, Les Yeux Noirs means the dark eyes, it’s French. And I took a picture with one of the players. I was soo happpyyy! Thanks Alek for coming with me.

9.       Practiced violin with Kak Izzan. He played guitar and I played my violin. It was Wednesday and he just arrived in Jogja on Tuesday. He picked me up at about 12.30 and took me home at 20.30! Hahaha actually we have finished at 5 but then we had a walk (yes, we were walking, very nice, eh?). I recorded our practice and I still have it in my cell phone. It was funny, and fun!

10.   Went to Cello Ansamble in Pertamina Building with Binta. Hmm it was called ‘galau night’ because that night Kak Izzan and I fought and then I listen to the cello sad song. But the concert was good.

11.   Bought Barcelona T-Shirt with Kak Izzan. Firstly we planned to buy the green jersey but then we decided to buy this T-shirt, look at the picture! Cool, gell? It was Thursday night. We went out at 6.30, he took me to look for stocking but we didn’t get it. Then we had some dinner and after that direct to the shop. The owner said that we could come at 8 but there was no one there. We had a long wait, until then Kak Iyan texted Kak Izzan that we just had to come and knock the door. And you now what? The owner was sleeping inside, OMG! We were waiting for about 1.5 hours you know? We took M size but it was still too big so we decided to bring it to the tailor. On Monday we wore it and took pictures. I love it!

12.   Went to Chamber Concert with Binta, I met Kak Iyan and Kak Panji there, Oka played. This is my first time to come to an Orchestra concert. It was great! I asked Kak Izzan to come with me, Kak Iyan and Kak Panji did either, but Kak Izzan couldn’t come because he had to help the 6^th semester students practicing a drama. Hmmm he is responsible. Ah there I also met Aldo and then he sat beside me. Ega also played there. He was one of the great violin players who took part in Iskandar Widjaja Master Class in Tembi. Oka played really good, after the concert I took some pictures with him and his viola but then I deleted them because Kak Izzan got angry, for sure. Stupid me. There I met Mas Dani and Mb Dwi and we got knew each other.

13.   Went to Welcome Concert ISI ’10 with Oka. I asked Kak Izzan but he couldn’t come because of the drama, again #huh. Finally I came with Oka, with Kak Izzan’s permission for sure. Mas Dani and Mb Dwi played there. After the concert we went to Ongkang-Ongkang, place where Oka, Mas Dani, and Mb Dwi usually spend the time. O2 is in front of SMM, Music School in Jogja. Oka, Mas Dani, and Mb Dwi learned there. So, no wonder if they play very good music. They are very talented, they had ever played with Erwin Gutawa Orcherstra, Andi Rianto (pianist), and many more. Hmmm I envy hahahaha.

14.   Went to Jogja Bamboo Night with Oka again. Meine Mitbewohnerinnen gingen auch zum Konzert. There I met Teh Uci. Oka, Mb Dwi, Mas Dani, Mas Argo, and Mas Arya played. I got a task from Mas Dani. I’ve got to take pictures with his camera. It was ok because I entered without ticket. Actually I had to pay 20 K or 30 K I am not sure but because I came with Oka so I could sit in VVIP seat without ticket hahahaha.

15.   Got new friends: Mas Dani, Mb Dwi, Mas Arya, Mas Argo, they are violin player and Oka’s friends, and also Kak Iyan  (studies vocal in UNY) and Kak Panji (senior in UGM Marching Band, he plays percussion), they are Kak Izzan’s friends from Lombok;
