midnight post

Yeaa, besok -- err, nanti pagi lebih tepatnya, aku dan temen-temen kelas IPA di SMANSA bakal menghadapi hell-day test kedua di UAS Ganjil ini, duet maut Fisika - Kimia.
It was like a WHAAATTT, waktu tau ini beberapa minggu lalu. Sumpe looo >,<

Gak mau ikutan gila, makanya aku berusaha santai *jadinya jam segini belum selesai belajar -,-
Bosen dong bosen, kelas 12 nih, jenuuhh.
Gak mau setress berlebihan, cukup tau lah yaa..


Rada random nih sekarang.
Despite of the post I wrote few days ago about my violin, sebenernya sampe tadi aku males megang biola. Males nggak tau kenapa.
Sampe tadi? Emang sekarang gimana?
Bentar.

Lalu di saat lagi random ini, bosen pula, di playlistku lagi muter sebuah lagu yang tiba-tiba membuatku pengen liat-liat video biola.
Salah satunya ini.



OH MY GOD, sesak nafas deh *lebai super
Enggak, beneran breathless liat ini.

Flashback ~
Motivasiku belajar biola, at the very first time, adalah lagu ini, Dear Reader
Violin Concerto in A Minor, Antonio Vivaldi
Aku hampir selalu berhenti melakukan apapun yang lagi aku lakuin, termasuk belajar, kalo denger lagu ini.
Ah suka banget banget bangeeeeet, pengen banget bisa main ini >,<

I've neglected my violin long enough.
Ternyata, kangen juga :)

I'm not that good, Dear Reader, I'm not being humble in this case.
Tapi aku bisa bilang aku cinta biolaku

I'm coming, Darling :)

Merepotkan

Kadang, tanpa kita sadari, kita menutup pintu jalan penyelamat yang ada di hadapan kita. Alih-alih menggunakan kesempatan yang sudah ada, kita mencari jalan lain dengan cara menyusahkan banyak orang. 

Merugikan orang lain untuk hal yang tidak perlu. 

Pantaskah? 

Well, malam ini aku dapat pelajaran berharga. Mumpung masih inget detailnya, aku tulis sekarang. 

Malam ini aku pulang les biola, lalu niat ke toko buku deket sekolah karna ada yang perlu dibeli. 

Berhenti di lampu merah. Yak ganti hijau, langsung gas dan seperti biasa ganti gigi untuk tambah kecepatan. Maka dimulailah kisah ini. 

Ceklek - ganti gigi 2. Loh loh loh kok malah nggak bisa maju, udah di gas tapi nggak maju? Ada apa ini? Wah nggak beres nih. Langsung sein kiri, pelan-pelan minggir.

Aaah udah dinetralin, masuk gigi 1 nggak ada perubahan, masuk gigi 2,3,4 juga nggak bisa jalan. Ada apa ini?? di sekitarku cuma ada 1 bapak becak yang lagi nunggu di becaknya. Sempet kepikiran minta tolong sih, ah tapi entah kenapa aku nggak tergerak untuk turun dari motor dan minta pertolongannya. Ah hopeless dan ngga tau harus ngapain deh, langsung telp Bapak minta Bapak dateng.

Sambil nunggu Bapak, aku coba lagi siapa tau bisa. Hasilnya sama aja. Bunyinya gretek-gretek-gretek kaya ada yang rusak.

"Itu rantainya, Mbak" Ternyata si bapak di becak itu yang ngomong. Si bapak itu turun terus mendekat ke motorku. Aku turun dan ikut ngeliat rantainya. Udah malem dan tempat itu gelap, jadi nggak begitu keliatan.

"Iya tuh, Mbak, rantainya lepas." kata si bapak yang udah jongkok. Wah iya, ternyata lepas. Glek.

"Oh iya ya, Pak. Terus gimana ya, Pak?"  

"Ya dibawa aja ke bengkel, deket situ" Bengkel? Oh ada bengkel deket sini?

amazed and wondering if...

well, this is about violin, which is a music intrument I have learned since my 14. It is already passed a year from my first time learning violin, and I have to say "My skill is just like a total beginner, not a year-violin player"

God, I feel so hopeless! 

I can produce sound, yes. 

But I am lack of tempo management skills, and I don't possess any further technique in violin such as vibrato, staccato, don't mention pizzicatto and so on. 

Really, I am still a beginner.

Well, I rarely had time to practice. I do have time, but at night, when I feel not good to play 'cause that will disturb my neighbors. And more often, I already exhausted enough when I reach home at almost-evening time. I feel so bad, really, 'cause I used to skip course and then eventually take a break from my violin course. I can't help, guys. I can not play violin with so much mind distraction. I feel so terrible, I hardly get good focused concentration to learn.

But I DO WANT TO BE BETTER! I begin to spend some time each day to touch and play my instrument. And when I play it, I realized how much I love music, how much I love violin. I will try hard and disciplined myself in order to be BETTER and PRO-er! 

And usually, if I see these videos, I get some motivations and spirit to learn harder. 

Violin Solo from of Music Department Indonesia Art Institute, awesome!

Hm, I do want to enroll in University of Indonesia. Do you know that UI actually has an ORCHESTRA as student activity? Yes, the name is Orkes Simfoni UI (OSUI) Mahawaditra. They are also great! I plan to join this orchestra if I will really be able to be an UI student. Check them out!

Pachelbel's Canon in D

J.S Bach Concerto in D minor

Alright. Hehe thank you for your visit and actually read my article. Keep spirit for us!  

Violin o Violin

If you ask me, what thing I need most in my life, to make a peace within myself? I'll surely answer, "It's my violin ~ my accompaniment, my balancer, my soulmate"

I LOVE VIOLIN sooo much. I guess I've been in love with this instrument since I was much younger than now. I kinda love violin, piano, and guitar. But it was only "love" without any realization. Then I started to get in touch with guitar in my late 13. In my 14, around 6 months ago, I actually left my guitar and started to play the violin. I found my real passion here, and I guess violin will be my instrument till the end of my life. Oww kinda hiperbolic! :D

Well, I'm not a pro, not yet. Told ya, I just started it. And moreover, I started in my 14, and I don't have any music background, nor music fanatic family. I am a mere beginner and I tried my best in it.

I do admire Antonio Vivaldi for his masterpiece ~ "The Four Season".
His music catch my ear, and I fell in love with his music soon after that. My love to violin and my passion in classical music grew deeper and deeper. Then I can't help holding my desire to learn to play it, so I beg my mother to let me learn the violin. In other words, Vivaldi had a great role making me learning violin.

I'm not aiming to be a great violinist, no. I know my ability, my limit. I basicly just wanna play it for myself, for people around me perhaps. I wanna play it, have some fun, enjoying music especially the classic ones which I love so much. And mostly I play violin to balance my life. Really, violin did a great job balancing my mood and mind.

I live a hectic life. I can't deny I have many activities in my high school life which I love and enjoy very much. I found I need something to balance my life, to decrease the stress rate, to harmonizing the rhyme of my life. Then I found violin helps me living better.

To play the violin means you need to be patient and relax. Play it softly, so it will produce its great voice. Relax, and violin will be your best tranquilizer. Play it patiently, and you'll feel its beauty. No need to rush, let the note flow and enjoy the melody.

Hahaha, those words sound hiperbolic. Eventhough I'm still a beginner of the beginners, I guess I know the passion in violin. Play it more, feel it more. Be ready to see the beautiful colour in your life drawn by the violin.

Vi - ai - o - el - ai - en. el - o - vi - e. :)
