First Concert With Krashna Musika

Haaa, the Brahm's Ein Deutsches Requiem that we have rehearsed since September 2007 will be presented for the first time to public tonight.

My music score, checked. My suits, checked. My Vocal cord, still there, checked :D I just need to fill my stomach now, hehe. I cook Chicken Rendang for today. Hmm, I wonder if it will be okay for my throat. But whatever, I need a decent food after this 2 weeks full of Integration Moment assignments.

Tomorrow will be the last day of Integration Moment, which is the day of assessment by doing a business game/simulation. The whole knowledge from all courses that we learned from this semester will be tested there (well, if we did learn them). I hope I can still read some of the materials after the concert tonight.

And right after the assessment tomorrow, I will be rushing again to the concert venue, which is in Den Haag. 15 minutes by train from Delft and some more time (I don't know yet) to the exact building. I hope I can make it. Otherwise I will miss the warm-up, which I badly need for singing the Brahm's Requiem.

Wish me luck for tonight!

Snowing again

After the white days, no more snowing in Delft. No white Christmas. Surprisingly, the winter days are bright and sunny.

This afternoon I went to the bank & supermarket, wearing only sandals for my footwear. What I didn't expect was the wind blowed snow here and there.

I didn't mind the cold, it's a nearby supermarket & bank. I chuckled seeing a bank officer stared at my sandals when I entered the bank.

Well, welcome back ice & snow!

Gelukkig NieuwJaar!

Well, it's 1 January 2008.

Happy New Year for us all!

At first I wondered if I should spend my New Year in Amsterdam, because people said the scene would be great and I still got a free entrance to one of the museum there. But then I decided to stay in Delft.

Besides, Stephan invited MoT students to spent new year eve at his home. So there I went with Doudou, Dirk, and Amin.

It's great tonight!

Well, I don't usually go out on new year eve in Indonesia. Just spend the night with a little gathering and prayer with my family (in Pekanbaru) and friends (in Bandung).

So, tonight at Stephan's home with the olliebollen, the snacks, the drinks, and the chat worked really well for me. We also played and watched fireworks at the front street. There were a lot of great fireworks and explosions that we could see because Stephan's house was located behind the train station where there was a wide space around.

It was foggy when I rode my bike to Stephan's house. Then the fireworks produced a lot of smoke and that resulted a thick layer of smog when I rode my bike home, I hardly could see a thing.

Well, good bye 2007 and welcome 2008. Wishing for a more wonderful and more peaceful world in 2008. Happy New Year, everybody!!
