forawhile
Kenapa dev? Malam ini, tadi, gw iseng buka youtube dengan tujuan mau nge"stalk" orang. Tapi semakin ditonton, semakin pahit yg didapet, bukan info yang dibutuhin. Dan sayangnya orang ini bermain di aliran favorit gw, jazz.
Seketika itu juga, gak tau kenapa, langsung jd benci sama genre itu. Iya emang sinetron abis. Rasanya mau jingkrak-jingkrakan dengan alunan lagu keras. Tapi gak sekeras metal juga, belum se-hard-core itu.
Band yang lagi pengen gw tonton : NAIF (berhubung punya kaosnya, jadi yaa..), White Shoes and The Couples Company (musik apik favorit jaman smp), THE S.I.G.I.T, dan jebolan-jebolan myspace lainnya.
Gw tau ini mendadak. Apalagi hari Minggu besok gw harus menghadiri salah satu acara bertemakan jazz kental.
Semoga ini cuma sementara.

H-3
Hey guys! :D
So I have good news and bad news, The good news is that my school will have a study tour to Bali this Saturday. YEAY FRIGGIN XCITED. But I haven't packed anything yet. Just done with those bathroom stuffs. And about snacks. I bought LOTS AND LOTS of them (as you see up there, I'm not exaggerating) I was a little bit overwhelmed and confused about where I'm gonna put all those snacks. Excluding the drinks. I bought 4 types of drinks. The isotonic, soda, tea, and mineral water. But that doesn't matter because I drink a lot. And pee a lot too.
The bad news is that I. Haven't. Got. My. Period. Yet. Which is mean I got fifty percent chance to got my period there in Bali. And that, is not cool. I don't want to sit down on the beach when the other is having their fun time in the sea or else. I just wish I got my period as fast as I can OR got my period after the tour.
So, well wish us (34 2012) safe and have lots of great times there! TEE HEE.

After the rain has gone II
I recently attended an event called "Jazz Moment" at Gazebo cafe, kota tua. At first I had planned to meet up at FX with my new friend on facebook, and from there we're supposed to go together to kota tua. But in the morning I had a math test so when I got home I fell asleep 'till 3 o'clock. I supposed to be at FX at 4 actually..
duh gw lagi capek mikir, pake bahasa indonesia aja yak
Ya jadi bisa dibilang gw ngaret. Langsung deh tuh gw pesen taksi dari depan komplek mengingat ga ada yang bisa nganterin. Gw naik taksi ampe halte busway ragunan doang, soalnya udah ga keburu kalo naek angkot. Satu hal yg bikin gw gedeg bgt waktu itu adalah ujan yang ngeledek sama si supir-taksi-yang-baik-hati-dan-rajin-numbuhin-kumis itu lama banget isi bensinnya. Kamfret. Gw berangkat dari rumah gw di bilangan Tanjung Barat jam 3.30 dan baru sampe ragunan jam 4, biasanya cuma 10 menitan.
Udah sampe halte beli tiket terus akhirnya capcus juga ke kota tua. Mata gw masih kriyep-kriyep di busway udah gitu hape sama ipod rusak jadi ga bisa denger lagu. Mana ujan lagi, yowes untung gw bawa ini buku judulnya The Catcher In The Rye ya lumayanlaaah biar ga mati gaya gituh di basweh :p
Perkiraan gw awalnya: berangkat dari ragunan 4.10 sampe fx jam 5an. Tapi nyatanya yang terjadi: berangkat dari ragunan sampe dukuh atas jam setengah 7. DUA SETENGAH FUCKING JAM maigoat...........
Jadi tuh emg namanya apes ya gw kejebak di kemacetan halimun jam 5 sampe stgh7 disaat orang lagi pulang kantor. Mana ujan lagi kan, pol banget ditambah dinginnya ac busway yg bertengger di atas kepala gw (atau emang di atas semua kepala?)
Di tengah macet itu gw cuma bisa berdoa semua doa yang gw bisa, kecuali doa makan, not necessary. Pas gw lagi khusyuk doa tiba-tiba hape gw geter. Ada sms,
From : GS Dewi
Dev, udah sampe mana? Kita udah nungguin di fx nih. Apa mau nyusul ke kota aja? Takutnya kemaleman ntar. Gapapa kan?
Gw sih ayo aja langsung nyusul ke kota. Dan satu hal yang ga temen baru gw ini tau adalah bahwa gw berangkat sendirian. Yaudah deh akhirnya sampe dukuh atas dan langsung antri busway jurusan kota. Skip aja ya ceritanya gw udah sampe halte kota dan gw dapet sms lagi,
From : GS Dewi
Dev kamu langsung ke gazebo cafe aja ya kita ketemuan disana kamu naik taksi aja. Tempatnya ga jauh kok. Ok?
Ok, jadi gw memutuskan buat naek ojek aja soalnya itu kendaraan pertama yg gw liat begitu turun halte. Dan FYI, kota tua pas malem itu bagus juga ya ternyata hahaha lumayan buat referensi tempat hunting :p
JENGJENG jadi sampailah gw di gazebo cafe ini *tears* Pas di gate nya gw liat ada neonbox dji sam soe tulisannya 18+. Mati saja lah ya gw udah cenat cenut waktu itu takut ga boleh masuk. Trus ya udah mau gimana lagi gw udah sampe sini, perjalanan 3 jam, sendirian. gw.harus.masuk. Di gatenya itu juga ada 2 bapak-bapak duduk gitu gw gatau itu berdua ngapain lah ya. Mereka cuma meriksa tas trus ngeliatin gw dari atas ampe bawah (this made me felt totally humiliated) trus senyum dan mempersilakan gw untuk masuk.
Pas masuk venue, di sebelah kiri gw ada semacam bar kecil gitu dan disitu gw liat sebagian anggota BLP lagi kongkow pewe banget. Ya tapi ditahan dulu kenorakan-nya jadi gw langsung ke tempat anak goodspellers (fansbasenya blp) ngumpul. Dan akhirnya gw ketemu kenalan di facebook dan twitter ini. YEAY. But dude, you don't know what I've been through that day. Sampe situ gw kenalan sama yang lain juga, masih awkward gitu sih ya tapi ntar juga lama-lama semoga asik. Trus temen gw ini, nawarin buat makan. Trus nanyain dimana kupon makan gw. Lah gw yang baru dateng langsung bingung ini kupon apaan lagi yak. Trus tmn gw nanya setengah interogasi, "Lah tadi di depan, ga dikasih tiket sama kupon makan dev?" "Lha, tadi masuk ngeloyor aja tuh cuma diperiksain. Ga ada ticketing kok tadi." Lalu beberapa anak GS (goodspellers) yang denger percakapan gw langsung nyaut, "LOH BERARTI LO GA BAYAR DONG? GOCAP LOH." ok ini antara mujur atau emang bapak-bapaknya ketipu sama badan gw yang, sekedar info, sama miripnya sama performer di dalem. HAHAH gw agak merasa bersalah sih ya sama mereka yang bayar tapi yasudahlah ya nasi sudah menjadi ketupat #gaknyambung
Usut punya usut setelah gw cek twitter keesokan harinya si bangber ngetweet gini:
@BarryLikumahuwa Elseos Jeberani E
dan ini
Berlanjut ke acara utama, ya seperti biasa udah jadi hal lumrah kalo soundcheck bikin ngaret. Jadi waktu itu blp yang mestinya tampil jam stgh 8 jadi stgh 9. Lumayan lumutan juga sih nungguinnya secara belom bisa ngobrol banyak sama yg laen. Trus ya udah yang lain memutuskan buat mesen RAGUSA sedangkan gw celingukan nyariin bangber. Trus kita putu-putu dan gw disuruh jb padahal aku kan masih malu ceman-ceman ;p
Di tengah sesi foto tiba2 ada lelaki ambon manise lewat. Cihuy itulah yg ditunggu. Dan pas itu anak2 yg lain (dan gw tentunya) langsung manggil dia trus dia "EEEH hai!" lalu pas ngeh ada bocah bulukan nyempil (baca: gw) he was like "EEEEH PAKABAR?" w00t senang sekali dia inget guweeeeee haha *labil*
Sang MC yang kala itu lagi (sok) ngelawak pun akhirnya ngomong "Selanjutnyaaa mari kita sambut, Bari Likumahuwa Project!!" (iya dia bilangnya bari, bukan beri) langsung deh gw ngeluarin kamera udah ready get set go banget WOGH sangat berkoar buat moto-moto. Oh iya, sebelumnya gw juga mikir pasti bakalan rame gitu ternyata ya SEPI tapi ini yang gw suka. Musik jazz dengan audience yang ga begitu sesak. Selain enak buat fotonya, enak juga buat joget dengan leluasa. Sayangnya gw ga moto audience, males, udah terlalu in the hoy sama performernya.
I had such a great time pas blp manggung. Gw mondar-mandir depan stage, tapi teteup ya mesti jaga sopan santun, kalo ngga bisa disundut rokok ama penonton dewasanya. Ada suatu saat waktu gw mantengin di depan keyboardist terus pas abis gw fotoin dia kayaknya nyadar dan bilang makasih tanpa suara (ya iyalah kependem duluan ama speaker). Abis itu gw makin semangat. Gw set lah itu Canon 450d abang gw jadi monochrome warnanya alias item putih. Kenapa begitu soalnya gw mau nyoba nangkep momen waktu barry dkk pas endingnya kan pake asep2 gitu, biar keren aja *ezik*. Terinspirasi sama herman leonard juga sih ya kayaknya. Hahaha ngarep banget gw bisa kayak gitu bagusnya :p
Setelah blp selese, mereka langsung ke ruang ganti. Dan ini dia untuk kali pertama gw nyamperin ampe ruang ganti artis. Sungguh pengalaman berharga yang ditawarkan anak gs buat gw. Disitu kita nunggu blp selese ganti baju tapi udah cemas duluan karena di bawah, maliq udah maen. Tapi kita tetep stay diatas nunggu blp. Satu persatu personil mulai keluar. Anak gs pada foto-foto. Sedangkan objek gw cuman satu, dan muncul paling terakhir. Pas bangber keluar langsung deh tuh diserbu, meh. Gw foto ama doi terakhir-akhir soalnya emang sengaja ada sesuatu yang mau diomongin haha. Pas akhirnya giliran gw foto bareng, dia nunjuk dan langsung nanya "Gimana udah liat korannya belom?" OH ya jadi tuh seminggu sebelumnya barry diwawancara sama pikiran rakyat dan dia minta hasil foto gw buat jadi foto profil dia di koran itu. Tapi sayangnya gw ga bisa ngasih soalnya foto yg hi-res ada di laptop sepupu. Emang belom jodoh sih tapi ya at least dia udah minta gitu kan ya. Alhamdulillah banget. Terus gw jawab "Udah kak, waktu itu ada yg tweet photo kan hehe.....he he.." Eh dia malah ngeliatin rada sinisctic way trus gw langsung kyk orang dipalak cukong glodok "Ampun bang ampuuuun huhu maaf banget yaa" *ini beneran* terus sok-sok pake puppy face lagi ya ampun labil bener lu dep. Tapi ya dia bilang gapapa dgn senyum pepsodentnya uhuy. Trus sebelum foto gw request gaya biar trendy and funky bersama bangber, pas mau gw bisikin langsung awkward moment karena kupingnya dia yg mau gw bisikin itu ditindik. Yak. Yowes deh akhirnya kita foto bareng, bisa diliat hasilnya disini
Lanjut ke MALIQ & THE ESSENTIALS. Gw seneng banget gila karena ini untuk pertama kalinya bisa nonton mereka tapi sepi. Di saat mereka perform, gw ga moto sebanyak waktu blp. Soalnya gw mesti memanfaatkan waktu berharga itu yg mungkin ga gw temuin lagi. Iyalah, kapan lagi coba nonton maliq bisa joget lompat-lompat sana-sini dengan leluasa? Terus pas lagu Dia dimainkan, gw memutuskan buat akhirnya duduk setelah 2 jam berdiri. Di sebelah gw waktu itu ada suami istri gitu udah cukup berumur, rangkulan sambil cuddling gitu. Udah gatel banget pengen gw foto, unyu maksimal, jarang2 gw liat pemandangan kayak gitu..
Ok, the show was over. Gw dan anak gs lainnya akhirnya ke depan dressing room para performer. Gw tadinya ga mau ikutan tapi mengingat yang di dalemnya itu siapa....... jadi gw ngekor ajah ;p
Setelah rada bangkotan nungguin maliq lama banget gantinya akhirnya gw sama temen gw balik. Dan oh ya satu lagi, temen gw ini rada deket sama vokalis blp DAN tadinya diajak pulang bareng tapi kerana masih mau nonton maliq yaaaaaaaaaaaa udah deh hu sayang sekali.
Yowes akhirnya kita naek taksi berdua terus ternyata buncit masih macet aja loh jam stgh 1 padahal. Pertama gw nganterin temen gw dulu ke rumahnya di daerah ciganjur, ya ga jauh jauh amat sih sebenernya dari rumah gw, cuma belibet aja jalannya. Terus FUHNALLE sampe rumah juga deh saya. Selamet, utuh, capek, tapi SENENG BANGET. Ya despite all the struggle of the earlier math test and 3 hours bus ride, gw sangat seneng hari itu.
Thank you banget buat Dewi, yang udah gw repotin dari sebelum acara sampe selese.
Thank you banget buat anak-anak goodpellers yang walaupun gw baru kenal, tapi kalian asik banget.
Thank you banget bangetan buat barry, yang udah mempercayakan hasil foto amatir gw.
Alhamdulillah, terima kasih Ya Allah
dan terimakasih juga buat lo yang udah sudi mau baca ini tentunya ;)
foto nyusul ye

After the rain has gone
HEYALLZ it's been a looooong loooonng time no post rite?
Such a bad blogger you, Dev.
Ehm those exams and endless assignments blocked my chance to have my time for blogging. I do online every night, but I just don't feel like blogging much b'cause I connecting the internet for Google, wikipedia and stuff. So now I will tell ya about everything that happened while the blog is unattended *sounds creepy* OK WELL here goes........... (sorry this might be kinda long)
So, as we all know that I skip half of September and October without making any post in here. Well, first, there was this "teacher's technique for student torturing mode" or we can say, exams. Yes, my school has this mid semester exam that held every 3 months after starting the new semester. I don't know why, but I think the mid exam's test is harder than the final. Is it the new government policy or just a pleasure for teachers who had successfully tortured the pupils? idk.
Well, I spent those horrible night dating with text book, and for you who don't know yet, SCIENCE BOOK IS DAMN THICK. Me and my friend were wondering whether we could smash a puppy with it. Honestly I love learning science, but Indonesian educational system is not good man, I told ya. Fortunately, my bio teacher always bring those cool documentary from Discovery Channel (although it says that it is for elementary school yea whatever) it really helps me understand the difficulty of biology.
After I spent a horrible week struggling with books and Qs, there was this birthday celebration that my school held every year. This year's theme was High School Celebration. And I was FRIGGIN EXCITED because on the closing day, my "bro" came as the guest star with his wonderful/amazing/groovy band called Barry Likumahuwa Project. YEAYYOYEAYYOYEAYO (i took a pic with him, it is the top of this post):D
Ok so here's the bad news. I didn't do well with my exam so my report is totally awful. God, I really upset and disappointed with myself. But there's no time for mourning and look backwards, I HAVE TO AND I MUST GET BETTER SCORE THE NEXT EXAMS. Stop with all the moron me.
Now here's some good news. I attended the Java Soulnation Festival which is one of "my music" besides jazz hahahah.. Yeah as you can see the title soul, it was all about urban, hip hop, soul and r&b music. It was so so much fun, although there were some mistakes and misunderstood happened. And there I met my "bro" again hahahah and we took some pic 2gether. He represent the motown music back to us, youth/reckless/pop generation. I'm glad to saw that tribute, because I could sing 8 out of 10 songs that they played. Tee Hee yeah you can call me old then :p
AND NOW, the 1st semester final exam is almost here. 2 weeks again................ Have I told ya that it is TWO WEEKS AGAIN??? Hmmph sorry for my hyperbole sentences T_T
As I wrote up there, I have to and must get better score next exams, I really wanna do some changes. Whether my learning concept or the resumes, I have to keep working on it and make em better.
By the way any bus way, I have also made a "to do list" that must be done after the final exam. So here they are :
1. Focusing the final exam first *hell yeah*
2. Having a photoshoot, hunting, etc *sounds fun, eh?*
3. Web research for undergraduate scholarship
4. Go to the US embassy for any chances getting a scholarship or studex.
WISH ME LUCK and I mean it. Wish. Me. Luck.

Blame those school tasks and tests. They make me feel retarded enough to just make a single post. Yes, I think my high school has this "evil plan" that includes torturing-pupils-with-tasks-and-some-other-shits.
THANK GOD, now is the time for us, kids, have a couple of weeks of ramadhan holiday. This is so important for me, because finally I can get the time that I wanted for making some projects and blablabla..
Talking about projects, actually I already made some back then, and posted them on posterous but once again, I am a bad blogger. But I leave it with some reasons, so don't just judge me like I told you so :p
Last month, exactly the same date as today, I had my 16th birthday. I didn't have like some parties or what, just mom who made the cake (as usual) and bro who brought us cake from sevengrain that is just some overthrows from his office, hehe. So from my birthday I got some money (which is super great) 'cos it can buy me a lomolitos and some ticket concerts later. YEAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! :D
This post is just a re-introduction, I'll post pictures maybe in the next post. Or not, or yes. Oh well.....

clutter illusion
Kinda tough weekend. Homeworks are the worst murderer. No, the tests are. I've applied for an AFS program, and the test is tomorrow. Matilah awak.
Besides of those creepy things, i still have so much pressure. External-Internal. Mind-Body. People act differently these days.
Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart - Alicia Keys
Even if you were a million miles away
I could still feel you in my bed
Near me, touch me, feel me
And even at the bottom of the sea
I could still hear inside my head
Tellin' me, touch me, feel me
And all the time you were tellin' me lies
So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times we had tonight
I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart?
Well, you could try sleeping in my bed
Lonely, on me nobody ever shut it down like you
You want a crown
You made my body feel heaven bound
Why don't you hold me
Near me, I thought you told me
You'd never leave me
Looking in the sky I could see your face
And I know right where I fit in
Take me, make me, you know that I'll always be in love
With you
Right til the end ooh
So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times we had tonight
I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Anybody could've told you right from the start
It's bound to fall apart
So rather than hold on to a broken dream
We'll just hold on to love
And I could find a way to make it
Don't hold on too tight
I'll make it without you tonight
So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times we had tonight
I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
