Minutes to end Daylight Saving Time


Yap.. 18 more minutes to set the clock back to the standard time due to the end of the Daylight Saving Time.

At least, it feels like I get an hour extra to study because the time is turned one hour back.
(Hahaha, ga kelar2 belajarnya gara2 ngeblog)

Updated: The notebook's clock has automatically changed to 2 AM when it's supposed to be 3 AM. And I have set my watch and cellphone's clock manually. I hope tomorrow I won't forget that I don't set my wall clock yet ;)

Hayley Westenra & Joseph McManners

During my overnight study for The Production of New Technology exam next monday, I am glad I was accompanied by Hayley Westenra & Joseph McManners. I just downloaded their albums from multiply network. Hayley's "Pure" and "Celtic Treasure" and Joseph's "In Dreams"

Their voices are amazing and having a soothing effect (eh, somewhat tempting me to go to sleep actually :p)

I knew Hayley from Bien and Charles who gave me 'River of Dream' and 'Beat of Your Heart'. I knew Joseph by coincidence this night while searching for Hayley's album.

For tonight, I specially like 'Heaven' by Hayley and 'The Little Prince Song' by Joseph (maybe part of my likeness to the book 'Little Prince' by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry).



PS: eh, tapi aktifitas belajarnya jg di selingi dgn gangguin Tantri dan ngobrol dgn Dias di YM tengah malam >:) huwehehe..

Ada skitar 15an orang yg bersepeda. Sisanya pake mobil ato bus. Tapi asyiknya, jadi kayak tur bersepeda,heheh.. Lucu aja anak2 S2 kayak gerombolan bersepeda di jalanan..

Shalom Chaverim

'Shalom Chaverim' is the name that some friends from GII Dago Choir and I (and some other friends ) use if we sing separately from GII Dago Choir. Every time I hear the name, I remember those GII friends.

I just found a song in ISC's (International Student Chaplaincy) songbook with the same title. It's an Israeli folk song (This might be where our choir's name came up after all ). After reading the translation of the song, I found another reason to remember those GII friends..


Pronunciation: Shah-loam khah-vair-eem (hah will do if you can't make the "kh" sound); Luh-heet-rah-aut.

Translation:
Shalom, chaverim,
Shalom, chaverim,
Shalom, shalom;

L'hitra'ot,
L'hitra'ot,
Shalom, shalom.


Shalom, o my friends,
Shalom, o my friends,
Shalom, shalom;

Till we meet again,
Till we meet again,
Shalom, shalom.


The melody, sung in canon can be heard here in youtube.

So, Peace friends.. Till we meet again
