half-hearted

Lately ,i can't focused in my practice .It's so frustating when you can't do the stuff right .And at this rate i'm not enjoying the violin very much .I thought it's better for me to browsing than practicing right now (i don't want to practice with this attitude) .I saw another spectacular performance by Elli Choi .Click here to watch it :)
I envy her .Not only her skill ,it's her will that makes her that brilliant .I can't believe that she's improve that much for about 2 months .I started thinking ,she's still at that age yet she has matured more than i do (and she learned violin at age 4) .She's just amazing !If i play violin at her age maybe i can be like her .But it's just a foolish excuse .And i think i'm being half-hearted up until now .But i need to keep practicing .I want to enter the audition ,and i hope that i passed .
Hope just not enough .Efforts is what matter .If a 7th years old girl could done so much improvement ,then so do i .haha ,i want to think that way ,be an optimistic doesn't sound bad .Well i want to try my best .I'll pace up my skill .I know being half-hearted is bad (maybe the worst) .But you'll need time to overcome it .I'm sure that i'll overcome it .When that time comes ,i'm sure i;ll enjoy violin better .Wish me luck friends :)

about my holiday


 
La Corda D'oro Secondo Passo
a must see !


holiday finally here !hehe ,i've got my school report already ,so i can spend my holiday in relieved .Luckily there's no bad scores .The worst one is 60 .Alright ,i have enough of school .Let's just switch topic .
About my last violin lesson .Finally ,my teacher praise me for the 2nd time (i don't think that he's realize that he praising me) ,he said that my technique is better than irene ,and if i'm not mistaken ,he also mentioned that i should be able to reach her level if i practice seriously (he said it may take 4-6 months).Okay ,i'll be serious in no time !After that ,he give me a new lesson for double stop .Double stops sure are hell !But somehow i manage to be better at it .
Due to the holiday ,i can practice all the time ,but sometimes i feel frustrated !So ,i just started blogging in time likes that .Right now ,i'm focusing myself on bowing .I need to do some correction of my bow hold .It's not like i'm wrong ,but i think it's not the proper bow hold .Besides ,i want to improve my bowing ,little by little .
Ah !Finally the new season of La Corda d'oro has released (though there's only 2 episodes) .Do you watch it too guys ?It's awesome ,and i like the manga too (the manga story is a bit different though) .I bought the La Corda D'oro secondo passo .It's great !I want to watch the rest of it .But they haven't finished it yet in Japan.I hope they finished it soon .I can't wait !
About the audition that i've talkin about in my last post (Twilite Youth Orchestra) .They said that the audition hasn't fully decided yet .But ,they think it will come on April .Well ,it's good ,then i can practice even more .I hope both irene and me will passed the audition .Well ,just wish me luck in my practice :)

N.B : I'd like to say merry christmas and happy new year to all the world !May God Bless Us !

enjoyable moment

Hi friends !how's your day ?Mine is boring !I can't wait for school holiday to come !I was so bored that i wanna take a day off from school (it's okay if there's no lessons ,right ?) .But my mama won't allow me to do such thing .She asked me to bear with it .And i come to school *yucks* !There's nothing to do in school .they're just doing silly things ,like classmeeting .
Well ,when i reach my class ,i can't believe it ,only 6 student that arrived already (and in the end it still 6 ,it's include me) .Ooh ,they must have a nice day right now .And i'm here stuck by myself .The other class is the same as well ,there aren't many students comin .Oh mom ,i just want to lying on my bed .
Ricci 1 is a based catholic school ,and christmas is coming ,yay !So the school held religious ceremony (i don't think it's right ,in Indonesia we called it "misa") .And all the student must participate .Luckily there's a few of my friends that still coming .So i'm not alone ,haha .Well ,we have set a plan !We're escape from all of the silly school today !So right after the ceremony we start our moves .And our destination is Kristina's house (a.k.a itin's house) .


look it !it's itin's house !cool isn't it ?

When we reached itin's home .She looks terrible !(She's not even take a bath !and just wearing pajamas ,moreover her hair is sure awful) .Maybe she's got quite  shock ,haha .Then after she take a bath ,we're having lunch together ,here comes the fried rice !*yummy* !
Itin's house is so big ,and filled with extreme decoration .There's an arwana statue !So freak !We started online and play Ragnarok .Wow ,i can't play it ,but i make an avatar .I'm confused !what should i do ?i can't decide on jobs either i want to be a mage/acolyte .In the end i choose mage .Oni done created my avatar .But i can't understand it !Aah it's better to do things that i understand .

take a look at this pic !itin is a drinker ,each day she drink about that much water !

I started read her comics ,wow as expected ,she's hiding her comics !there's so many of them ,i can't decide .Sure things that we talked a lot .And i come to think ,that this day isn't too bad at all .It's been quite long since i enjoyed my time with my friends .Maybe i need to do a refreshment today *wink*    ;)

fire up !

Hello friends !How was your day ?Mine is spectacular ,thanks to my friend ,Cory and Kimberly ,haha .You know what ,this week i've gone to Wijaya Musik 4 times (2 times by myself and the other 2 is accompanied by my friends) .But thanks to it ,i've memorized blok m already ,haha .Even the employee of Wijaya Musik has recognize me .She even ask me to bought a violin case ,haha .Sure i want it !But give me more discount please  ,i'm just a high-schooler sis =)





Today i finally got my string !I bought an E string (evah pirazzi) .It's said to be a good quality string ,and it said that compared to obligato ,this string has a brighter tone .Sure things i have no problem with it ,since i'm not advance enough to understand the character of strings ,at least i know they have different character .But talking bout it ,i admire a warm and gentle sound .It's soothing !haha
Okay i'm so happy right now ,hahaha .I've finished all the freakin exam (finally no more exam) .Moreover ,i've got enough time to practice (with new strings and bow) .Aah ,life is treating me well ,haha .I must thanks to god for his blessing within me .I want to play my violin soon .My teacher always tease me ,that i've never practice .I hate it for sure .He's cruel ,he doesn't know how hard i try .It's quite a shock when he praise me (But it's only come once from his mouth) .I admit that i'm not as good as him ,but i'll reach his level soon .
He don't know anything .I want to practice too ,but i can't do it without strings .I'll beat his student up !Practice even more !And the holiday is comin too ,life sure's great !

i'm all new !

Hi guys !I'm really really excited ,hehe .Guess what ?!I've finally bought a new bow and strings ,"giggle" ,i can't bear the fun !hehe x)
I bought it in Wijaya Musik shop .They're all so nice and friendly ,and top of that ,they have great selection for string instrument (and the prices is reasonable too).About my new bow  (The brand was carbondix) .It's so great !It's deliver the tune well ,aaargh ,it's kinda hard to explain .But ,seriously it sounds so clear and ,maybe you can call it "soft" ,or something like that .I can't get the right words to describe it ,so sorry :(
Aaah ,i wish i could play my violin soon .Well ,right now i can't do any practice .I don't have any strings .Ooh ,i did buy some ,but i have a problem with it .It's so unfortunate of me .I buy a set of string ,and my E string is not the same brand with the others .Uuurgh ,so i have to go to Wijaya again and trade it soon .
Oh no ,violin is really kills my wallet .I don't have much cash in hand .And there's something shocked me today .You know about my violin case ?Okay ,i'll describe how awful my case is .First of all ,I can't close my violin case (It won't close ,so the heat can be through my case) ,i'm afraid that it harms my violin .Okay ,in second ,my case is a real eyesore ,it makes people won't believe me that there's a superb violin lying inside (hahaha ,just kidding) .
The employee of Wijaya also told me .It's better to change my violin case .Ugh ,i know it's pretty bad ,but i don't have any money .She shows me some collections of violin case .Ah ,i'm so ashamed .My case is a true eyesore .I've promised myself .Right after chinese new year ,i'll change my case !But ,it still quite long .
Okay ,my instrument is in a great shape right now .I love you Ruth !Moreover , i fell right to practice now !Can't wait until tomorrow !hehe ,please wish me luck in practicing friends ,i'll try hard ! :)



 

What do you think about those cases up there ?
Pretty cool huh !Well ,for me the green one is the best .But i can't bear the price !

study-study-study

Oh my God ,what i've doing up until now .I'm dying up practicing with my shabby strings .It almost kill my time ,it's really hard to tune it well .And moreover ,my school will held exam starting tomorrow ,(great ,i haven't studied anything) .And the first exam will be economy and citizenship (it's kewarganegaraan ,is it right ?)
Yesterday my mom ask me ,"Where are you going to continued your study ?" .Mmm ,it;s hard to be asked suddenly .I told her (and my brother) that i'll continue to UNSW ,music major ,and tell her about my second choice ,it's University of Sydney .I know it ,it's super hard !I'm not confident enough bout my skills .My mom knows it .She ask me to choose undergraduate study in my country .And take post graduate study in Sydney Conservatory .
Mmm ,it's not bad idea .That way i can study music further ,heehe thanks mom !Well ,in return of her trust ,i've decided to obtain fantastic score in my report (of school grades) .So i'll studying extra hard from now on .Well ,i changed my first option ,it will be in Sydney Conservatory of Music .



And here's my next option :

Well ,both of them is the superior university in Australia ,so i need to work extra hard !
Oh no ,i spent too much time in this post ,well i have to continued studying ,wish me luck guys :D

did you named your violin ?


Glitter Words - http://www.glitterwordslive.com

Lately ,my friend (Caroline a.k.a Olin) ask me 'bout my violin name .Well ,it sound weird & i feel weird hearing it too ,haha .Before ,i think it's unusual to named a violin ,but she's named her violin "Elysse"  ,Haha she's totally a weirdo .And she even add more info about the name ,haha .She tells me that Elysse isn't an ordinary name ,it has a meaning & i love the meaning too .It means salvation by God .Whoooa !applause for you Olin !I love it too :)

Then ,she asked me to named my violin .But i can't think a good name for it (Beside ,i don't wanna be a weirdo ,hehe).While we thinking of a good name ,i browse the internet .And i found out ,there's so many musician who named their instrument (Ahh ,i see .So it's not too strange ,but it's possible that there's a lot of strange violinist out there) .Olin told me to search a name for my violin on the internet .What a bossy girl ,okay i'll do it .haha , i'm kiddin you Olin .
Finally i found a good name .Before ,i was confused .There's 4 names that suits my violin .It's Claire ,Phoebe ,Elouisse ,and Ruth .And the meaning is all so good !Claire means "clear and bright" ,Phoebe means "as bright as moon" ,Elouisse means "gentle" ,and Ruth means "friend" .Aaargh ,i love all of them ,but i've decided it :)
I choose Ruth !It's a great name .I reallyreally want to become friends with my violin ,i don't know if i had become one or not .But i do wish my violin loves the name ,hahaha .Oops !I've named my violin too .But i changed my opinion  ,i named it but i'm not a weirdo (besides ,if i'm a weirdo ,then i have a lot of friends) ,haha i'm sorry Olin ,for talking bad 'bout you .
If you read my post and you're also named your violin ,please share it with me .I'd love to know ,haha  =)

my first step !




Hi Fellas !
Yesterday ,when i finished my lesson .My teacher told me that i've got quite progress with my staccato .But he said that i'm not patient .(i have no idea what's he talking about ,guess i'm so stupid).If i remember it clearly ,i realize that he did mention about my scales ,and he asked me to play more accurately .Oh God ,i've made a lot of mistakes in my practice session too ,guess i'm still bad at it .
I've been thinking for awhile ,how to improve my violin .If i stay in this state ,there's no way that i could study abroad in Sydney ,and i kept thinking about my school fees in Sydney ,It's too much !I can't ask my parents to afford it .When i talk about it with my teacher ,he ask me to practice harder ,so that i can show to my parents ,i'm really worth to study abroad .
I want to show them too ,that i can do it & of course i want it !Finally ,i made my decision .I heard that in February 2010 ,TYO (twilite youth orchestra) will open an audition to recruit new members .I'm sure the audition is hard ,since my friend who's better than me was once failed .I'll take the audition with my friend ,i heard that i need to practice my choosen song ,and one more song that given as the basic criteria .
Okay ,Irene did told me that she's tried the audition when she's studying grade 4 Suzuki ,so it make sense that she failed .However ,i hope i can pass the audition ,and join with TYO ,hehe =)
I'll do my best !Wish me luck friends :D

Platoon Provi Cup V




Hi everyone ,it's been a while :)

Today i'm going to Platoon Provi Cup 5.But ,how sad ,i' haven't meet all of my old friends (i miss you guys) .But i meet a few of them ,such as Marsha ,she's my friend in my 1st year in Junior High School (i don't even know that she plays the violin too ,and she's in concerto for 2 violins ,violin 2).and i did meet Amelia ,amel !i really miss your acts ,gal ! :)
Oh ,almost forgot !The most entertaining is the all star (basketball) .The all star is going to compete with the graduate (i stand for the graduate !there's my brother and my former coach !go for it !beat the all star).And sure things ,the graduate beat the all star easily !you'll never know the game unless you watch it !it's worth watching !
Well ,the new looks of my school sure surprise me (it sure great now ,and i admire the basketball court most !aah ,i wanna play in there !).And i finally made up with my friend ,Irene (a.k.a nene) .She ask me to wait for her in front of school and finally meet amel .When we're out for lunch ,i don't have much money (just about 30.000 rupiahs in hand) ,haha but nene is the same as me .so we share our meals ,she treat me like a vegetarian ,that's too much haha .And we've a lot of fun watching the MD shows .(To tell you the truth ,there's a boy who dance so ****** ,and it almost look like a gay for me).
The next fun is three-points contest .My senior in my junior high school is participating ,wooo !(she's a girl ,and most of the participant is male) Go for it Cindy !I'll cheer you on !But the new court doesn't suit her ,she's failed to score a ball .And the winner is Rikki ,coach of providentia basketball team ,he scores 8 from 10 balls ,Wow cool !
Seriously this year event is sooo bad !(it's like a private show ,it's not crowded like the past events).hopefully ,the night won't be as boring as this one .Somehow i fell bad for the committee ,well it's because of lots of my friend is joining it ,cheer up guys ! :)
Well ,i'll be waiting for next year event !heehe

no money


Hi all ,i'm really having fun with my violin lately (include my practice session & my lesson).It was soo much fun !I can't stop playing the violin .I don't know what exactly happen ,but i'm glad that i can enjoy the violin better ,heehe .
But i'm really need a stable bow and a set of strings .ooh no ,my bow is really-really unstable ,and the weight ,it's too light (okay ,i did buy the cheapest bow that time ,it cost only 75.000 Rupiahs) ,Enough for the bow ,and now my strings are in a really bad condition (it's the worst !i bet it will break soon ,and the sound is really squeaky ,especially A string ,yucks!) I wanna replace it with pirastro obligato violin string ,hmmm ..i bet it will suit my violin XD
OMG ,i have sooooo many list of stuff that i wanna buy .I wanna buy a bow ,strings ,case ,rosin ,bridge (i want the deluxe aubert ,heehe),and a tuner .I think all of them would be 5.000.000 Rupiahs .Sob ,i don't have that much money .I spend all of my money to buy my violin (but i reallyreallyreally love my new violin!).
I think i will buy a bow and strings soon .My teacher promises me that he will take me to his friend's music store (yay!bet that i got a discount) .So i'm really looking forward to it ,i think next week i'll go to buy it .Aaargh ,can't wait anymore !
But i have no courage to tell my mama ,i'm scared if she won't lend me some money (i'll be disappointed if its happen) .But i really need to replace my strings ,or else my violin won't get its best sound .Okay ,it's just a matter of time that my string will break ,so hopefully i changed my strings and bow before that happens ,hehe :))

i won't lose


hi all ,starting today i'll write my blog in english ,i know my english isn't good enough ,so i'll try to be better in it .You know, it's the fastest way to improve my english (i'm going to study abroad in Australia) .
Okay ,it's been so long since i write my last post ,i'm soooo sorry .I spend my time to practice violin harder (due to compete with my teacher's student) .But my practice isn't as smooth as it must be .I don't have much time left to practice after school .My teacher said that i need at least 6 hours practicing each day .and i'll do it ,i'll make my word to be true .(i hate liars)
I find it too hard for me .My school lesson end at 2 p.m ,usually i reach home at 3 p.m .I started practicing right after i reach home .and usually it occurs from 3 p.m until 6 p.m .Then ,i take a bath ,and have a meal .i continued my practice at 6.30 p.m until 9.30 p.m .Sometimes i feel so exhausted .Not having any break and keep practicing all day .(usually happen when there's no time left to practice) .
Sat 14 Nov 2009 ,when i've my lesson ,my teacher said that his student has finished suzuki book 6 (continued to suzuki book 7) .I feel very down ,it's not like i feel beaten ,but it's more like my effort has no meaning at all .I feel depressed .I hate being lose ,but i won't show it to my teacher (i wanna show him ,i won't lose to his student) .I can't accept it ,how could i lose to one who have never practice her violin .(i spend all day at it !)
I'm practice extra hard for my next lesson ,but now ,i feel exhausted .I don't feel motivated at all .I'm not sure that i'm gonna reach her skill soon .But i keep my practice 6 hours a day .I wish i can get a little better at violin ,and finally beat her up !hehe ,i'll be waiting for that day .
Aah ,it's feel really good !I'm feeling fire up already ,okay ,i'll try to practice even more .hope that i can enjoy violin more and more ,hehee . Wish me luck :)

  • oh ,and one more thing ,my violin(hofner) has been sold already !thanks oni :)

n.b : sorry that my english is very poor (my next post won't be this bad)

practice !

Beberapa hari yg lalu gw cerita ke guru biola gw kalo gw mau kuliah musik di Sydney,UNSW .Maka dari itu guru gw cerita masa-masa kuliahnya .Mulai dari pergaulan dia yang bener-bener seni abis ,sampe pelajaran dia (mulai dari teori sampe praktek).Gw bener-bener ga sabar buat kuliah musik waktu denger cerita dia .Tapi buat masuk kuliah musik ,gw mesti punya skill yang cukup buat modal pertama .
Sampe waktu itu gw percaya kalo skill gw termasuk cukup ,lagian selama ini gw termasuk murid yang cepet belajar (kata guru pertama gw) ,tapi guru gw ga setuju .Menurut penilaian dia ,teknik gw masih kurang ,gw juga ga berekspresi waktu maen .Jadi gw disuruh usaha benerin cara maen gw .Ternyata gw baru sadar kalo teknik gw masih kurang banget pas nonton video di youtube (anak kecil umur 5 taon namanya elli choi maen paganini caprice no.24) .

Mata gw udah ga bisa dipercaya ,tuh anak maen rapi banget ,suaranya jelas juga ,pokoknya bener-bener jago deh tuh anak .Waktu gw cek link youtube dia ,dia juga maenin Allegro Brilliante-nya W.Ten Have ,Gavotte en Rondeau-nya Bach ,dst .Bener-bener talented deh !Ditambah lagi tuh anak baru belajar 2 setengah taon udah nyampe buku Suzuki 9 ,sedangkan gw yg belajar 1 taon 3 bulan cuma sampe suzuki 5 (aduh malunya) .
Emang susah banget benerin teknik gw yang kurang itu ,walaupun setiap hari gw udah latian 6 jem ,gw bener-bener takut ga diterima kuliah di Sydney .Tapi gw ngerasa hampir putus asa tiap kali latihan .Gw minder sama tuh anak kecil (sebenernya ngiri gara2 ga sejago dia ,wkwk) ,minder gw juga ngefek ke permaenan gw ,bahkan gw ngerasa semua yg gw maenin selalu jelek .
besoknya juga sama ,gw ga bisa maen kaya dulu lagi ,tapi sejak gw liat latian temen gw yang mau kuliah musik juga ,gw tau kalo dia juga takut ga diterima .Dia cerita ke gw kalo dia ga mau kuliah selaen musik .Menurut dia kalo emang ga diterima ,taon itu dia bakal latian penuh buat ikut di taon berikutnya .Gw salut banget sama dia .Biarpun tekniknya biasa aja tapi komitmennya kenceng abis .

Sejak itu beban gw serasa agak berkurang ,paling ngga gw merasa "gw udah usaha semaksimal yang gw bisa .hasilnya juga pasti hasil dari usaha gw" .Gw juga mau ikutin temen gw ,hehe (copycat banget nih gw) .Gw juga mulai enjoy latian lagi kaya dulu ,gw sadar kalo selama ini gw selalu ngerjain sesuatu setengah2 .Tapi buat biola ini beda .Gw ga mau setengah2 kaya dulu .Paling ngga gw mau berhasil disini .

oh iya Turut berduka atas meninggalnya kung-kung temen gw (Leoni Angela) . sori ya on gw ga ikut ngelayat


O iya ,gw jual biola hofner 2nd ,masih bagus kondisinya .kalo berminat kasih tau gw ya .
hehe :)

Study Tour


Hari Selasa lalu ,tanggal 27 gw pergi study tour ke Bandung .Namanya juga study tour ,jadi pasti ada acara belajar-belajarnya .Hari pertama study tour itu bener-bener ga enak ,kerjanya cuma liat waduk yang ga jelas ,panas-panasan trus cuma makan yogurt J.Cool (padahal di jakarta kan ada ,ngapain jauh-jauh ke Bandung)
Buat urusan Hotel ,emang lumayan lah ,ga jelek-jelek amat makanannya juga oke ,tapi kamar gw bener-bener serem !kalo dikata kamar gw jelek banget feng shui-nya terutama tempat tidur gw itu .Ranjang gw tempatnya di sebelah WC ,udah gitu di samping kanan dan di depannya ada kaca yang gede ,aduh bayangin deh !Kaca kan terlarang banget dalem urusan feng shui (soalnya gw udah sering denger cerita serem tentng kaca) .

Hari kedua dari study tour gw ke Observatorium Bosscha .Nonton film astronomi sama liat teropong .Filmnya bagus tapi teropongnya ngebosenin .Gw jadi dapet pencerahan habis nonton film itu ,ternyata bumi itu kecil !jupiter juga kecil !matahari juga kecil !galaksi kita juga kecil !gw lebih kecil lagi !(kerdil).Ke Bosscha sih mendingan daripada ke waduk Jatiluhur ,tapi jalannya agak jauh & nanjak .Tapi ga cape-cape amat sih .
Habis dari Bosscha ,gw ngelanjutin studi di PT.Inti Jamur Raya (IP Farm) ,disana gw ngeliat kebon yang mirip sama harvest moon (pengetahuan gw sebatas harvest moon) .Ngeliat sapi yng gede-gede (ada namanya ,dari chelsea sampe maria) wkwk.Terus pulangnya dibagiin jamur gratis ,asik juga .Pulang ke hotel buat makan siang doang ,sekolah gw bener-bener perhitungan wkwk .
Habis makan siang ,acara "Tour" baru dimulai (sebelomnya study semua) .Gw jalan-jalan sekitar Dago sama Riau .Cuma liat-liat distro sama beberapa toko disana ,tapi barangnya biasa aja ,karena ga dapet makan malem ,setiap orang dikasih ceban buat makan (gila pelit banget ,gw makan siomay aja ceban gak kenyang) .Akhirnya gw patungan sama temen gw (makan sepiring berdua) beli mi baso keju niatnya nyobain tapi sayangnya ga enak .
Pulang dari Jalan Riau ,gw balik ke hotel ,disana kerjaannya cuma bengong ,maen UNO ,maen kartu (udah kayak judi) dst .Sampe akhirnya temen-temen gw ngajak jalan keluar ,bayangin aja .Jem 2 pagi kan udah ga ada orang tapi temen gw denger ada yang teriak2 nyuruh gw & temen-temen gw diem (ok gw emang berisik sih wkwk) .
Gara-gara perintah yang ga tau dari siapa itu keadaan mendadak hening ,sampe akhirnya lanjut ke cerita setan dari temen-temen gw .Berkat cerita setan temen-temen gw ,malemnya gw ga bisa tidur .Tadinya gw kira temen-temen gw juga belom tidur (malah di depan ada anak2 rajin lagi bikin KTI ,berisiiiik banget ,pengen gw usir untung udah diusir temen gw).
Tiba2 gw denger suara2 ga jelas (menurut gw itu bunyi langkah kaki) jelas banget ,disaat gw pura2 bego ,temen gw nyerocos bangunin gw ,sialan ni orang !udah gitu dia tetep nyerocos "hai ,lu denger ga ?mampus gw apaan tuh hai ,jawab hai !" gw cuma bisa jawab dengan "diem bego !" . bukannya suaranya reda ,sekarang tambah parah ,ada bunyi keran aer segala .Saking takutnya badan gw lemes n akhirnya ketiduran juga .
Hari ketiga gw ke Ciater .Gara-gara setan semalem ,temen-temen gw heboh soal kamar gw .Begonya lagi di Ciater bukannya gw trauma malah naek Rumah Hantu .Gw yg habis shock akan setan di kamar gw langsung bereaksi lebih ekstrim dari biasanya ,ga ada apa2 juga gw teriak sambil melok temen gw (namanya jenny juga) .Sampe si Jenny teriak gara2 gw pelok wkwk .
Sekarang gw udah sampe di rumah ,lagi ngerjain tugas KTI (Karya Tulis Ilmiah) bareng temen-temen gw .Doain ya nilai KTI gw bagus hehe

Kuliah Musik


Hari sabtu kemaren (23/10/09) ,sekolah gw ngadain education fair ,namanya PPR a.k.a Pameran Pendidikkan Ricci (sumpah ,ga keren banget namanya) .Di acara itu ,murid-murid dari sekolah gw ikut ngisi acara ,rata-rata semuanya berhubungan musik .Ada Padus ,Band ,MD ,Ansambel Biola .Gw ngikut isi di ansambel biola ,wkwk .
Soal pamerannya sih gw ga gitu tertarik ,soalnya males banget deh kalo dapet tugas segala ,hehe .Tadinya gw males banget ngerjain tugas ,ternyata di acara itu ,univ tujuan gw juga ada !(gw mau ke UNSW ,Sydney) .Begitu gw tau ,gw langsung naek ke Hall Matteo lantai 5 di skolah gw ,awalnya gw ga yakin ,masa UNSW bela-belain ke Ricci cuma but ikutan edufair ?!

Ternyata temen gw bener .Gw liat ada bannernya juga ,tulisannya gede banget "International Study in Australia" ada gambar kampus UNSW (OMG keren bangeeet !) Berhubung stand UNSW itu lagi kosong ,gw lngsung duduk di tempat yang udah dia sediain .Mbaknya ramah banget nyambut gw (dia ga tau bentar lagi bakal kelabakkan hadapin pertanyaan gw yg angker2) .
Pertama-tama gw jelasin dulu sikon gw ,bahwa gw mau ke Sydney buat kuliah musik disana .Gw cerita gw punya relatives yg bakal nampung gw selama disana (Sodara gw juga kuliah di UNSW ,engineering) .Mbaknya langsung tanggap ,dia ngeluarin buku ,semacem buku panduan foundation disana .Dia ngejelasin semua yang gw butuhin ,dan gw baru tau ,nilai rapot gw pas SMA itu dibutuhin buat lanjut disana ,tapi katanya sih yg major gw aja yg dipake .hahaha
Menurut mbak-mbak baik hati itu ,untuk kasus gw ,gw cukup ikut standard program disana (programnya ada macem-macem ,ada standard ,english plus ,standard plus ,etc) .Tapi buat lanjut ke UNSW music performance gw butuh ielts minimal 6.0 ..Oh tidak !gw bener-bener gak pede .Gw ga yakin tes ielts gw bagus ,gw ga ada pengalaman ambil ujian ielts/toefl .

Gw jadi kurang pede ngedengerin betapa tingginya kualitas kuliah di Australia ,terutama di universitas tempat gw akan belajar nantinya ,UNSW menempati peringkat 47 !UNSW itu universitas terbaik ke-47 di dunia .Gw mikirin tes masuk aja udah takut ,takutnya ga diterima .Gw kan baru maen biola tanggal 1 Agustus taon lalu (1/8/08) .
Gw kasian sama ortu gw ,dari ke-3 anaknya kayanya biaya terbesar di tangan gw ,(koko2 gw semuanya di lokal ,Binus sama Untar) .Gw liat biaya kuliahnya ,katanya sih udah termasuk semuanya itu AU$19500 , 1 AU$ saat ini 7900 .MAHAAALL BANGET !Sekarang gw jadi ngerasa ga enak ,gw berusaha ngurangin biaya buat ortu gw .Gw ga mau lagi beli barang2 ga penting (baju baru ,HP ,Laptop ,dst) .Pokoknya sampe gw kuliah gw ga akan minta ortu beliin barang2 begitu .Tapi ternyata susaah banget .
Hidup gw emang tergantung banget sama ortu ,gw udah siapin mental ,kalo aja seandainya gw ga diterima di UNSW ,gw mau pulang dan lanjutin kuliah di Indo ,mungkin gw ambil UPH ato IKJ .tapi gw sih tetep berusaha masuk disana (Habis kampusnya keren banget !hehe)Doain gw ya buat kuliah gw nanti hehe .

biola baru =)


waktu tuh jalannya cepet banget ,rasanya baru aja kemaren gw minta nyokap buat les biola ,tapi ternyata udah lewat setaon dari sekarang ,hehe ..Akhirnya taon kedua gw ganti biola yg sesuai sama keinginan gw ,ini udah kayak dream come true aja ,wkwk :D

Kasian juga sih kalo ngeliat biola lama gw yg udah ga pernah dimaenin lagi ,gw ngerasa klo aja dia bisa ngomong ,pasti gw udah dimaki-maki ,hehe ,mungkin dulu dia gw sayang ,kan gw dulu ga ngerti kalo suara dia tuh ga gitu bagus ,namanya aja pemula ..wajar dong hehehe .
Berhubung gw udah experienced hal2 yg enak & ga enak soal biola ,gw ga mau ngulangin kesalahan gw ,contoh : Dulu ,waktu baru belajar ,gw beli rosin buat bow gw ,ternyata Rosin itu bawahnya (sampingnya juga,kalo ga salah merk stainer) dilapisin kaca yg tipis gitu ,gw juga bingung pas gw gosokkin tuh rosin ke bow gw ,ga ngefek apa2 ,akhirnya temen gw yg ngeliat kejadian itu nyebarin kebegoan gw sampe 1 komplek rumah gw tau .

Setelah nyari sekian lama ,tiba2 guru gw bawa biola pas gw lagi les (katanya biola Prancis) ,merknya Vilaume ,taon 1912 .Pertama kali gw maenin gw baru berasa ternyata suara biola gw ga layak dibanding biola normal ,karakter suara tuh Vilaume enak banget ,suaranya tuh bening & berkesan girly gitu ,kata guru gw itu Romantic Violin (jangan tanya gw ,gw juga ga ngerti) biolanya keren & suaranya enak .
Gw tertarik banget dan saingan sama temen guru gw yg juga mau bayarin tuh biola ,tapi habis nyokap gw (dengan berat hati) ngijinin gw beli tuh biola ,paginya guru gw telpon ,padahal dari malem sampe pagi itu gw udah ketawa2 ,cengengesan sendiri ,eh dia malah bilang biola itu ga jadi dijual .Lemes banget gw dengernya ,dan alesannya itu loohhh !! "biolanya ga jadi dijual jen ..ga dikasih sama nyokapnya ,katanya mendingan dipajang di ruang tamu aja .."

Gw yg udah putus asa ,berusaha nenangin diri (lagi di sekolah tuh gw) ,gw tidur sebentar ,dan dibangunin sama SMS guru gw ,dia ga enak sama gw dan mau nyariin biola baru buat gw .Gw udah penasaran ,menurut gw biola Vilaume itu udah paling oke ,sampe akhirnya gw dikenalin sama biola yg ternyata lebih oke lagi (biola gw yg sekarang hahahahaha)
Sama kayak kejadian Vilaume ,gw juga rebutan tuh biola sama temennya guru gw ,itu cewek ngotot mau beli biolanya ,bahkan dia bawa uang cashnya langsung ,tapi gw lebih pinter ,gw telpon pemilik biolanya ,dan bilang gw bakal bayarin biola dia tapi jangan sampe dijual dulu ,dan gw bilang ke dia malem itu juga gw bayar (padahal nyokap gw belom bilang oke) ,saking mahalnya tuh biola ,bokap gw pulang bawa kantong plastik jelek ga jelas ,yg isinya ternyata B.I.O.L.A ..
Swear ,seumur hidup gw tuh biola terhancur ,terburuk ,bahkan bentuknya udah ga jelas ,di bodynya banyak paku gitu ,dan bokap gw bilang "Kamu pake aja biola yang itu ,tinggal dibenerin aja ,dulu bekas opanya papa kok ,pasti suaranya bagus
"
Feeling gw bener-bener ga enak saat itu ,dan akhirnya gw bilang gw mau biola yg ini aja (sambil nunjuk biola giovanni gw) ,dan gw diceramahin habis2an ,tapi gakpapa ,gw ga mau bawa biola yang angker gitu ,bayangin aja kayuny udah somplak2 dan ga ada apa2 ,pegs sisa 2 doang ,ga ada stringnya ,fingerboardnya lumutan ,idiiih ..
Nyokap gw yang sangat ga rela gw beli biola giovanni itu ,akhirnya mangkir dengan alasan , "bayarnya entar juga bisa ,kalo bisa ya malem ini ,kalo ga bisa besok ,ngotot banget sih !" padahal sekarang temennya guru gw lagi mau jalan ngambil tuh biola (dia bawa duit cash)
Dengan rayuan gw akhirnya gw nemenin nyokap ke PIK ,cuma mau ke rumah sodara sekalian transfer duitnya ,hehe .Berhasil !tuh biola udah hak milik gw ,akhirnya tuh cewek gak dapet biola vilaume atopun giovanni ,kasian juga sih .hahaha ,akhirnya biola itu jadi milik gw setelah banyak badai2 lewat ,badai terakhirnya sih tuh cewek ngamuk ke guru gw ,hehe

Oh iya gw mau jual biola gw ,merknya hofner ,ni biolanya cocoknya buat pemula (ada gambarnya di atas) soal harga ntar nego aja sama gw haha ,kalo tertarik
bisa hub facebook gw : joyfull.jen@hotmail.com
