Nyi Hiromi Kano

This is a video I uploaded to Youtube this morning. This is the voice of Hiromi Kano, Japanese who sang Javanese song (nyinden). She had learnt for years from some popular Javanese artist. This voice was taken when I was attending Japan Edu-Cultural Week, 13 November 2009, at UC-UGM Yogyakarta. Check this out!

Amazing!!!

ทานให้อร่อยนะ…!!!

Well, this is not so ‘new’. Even I’ve been there few times. Yeah, that’s ‘Phuket’. Phuket is a restaurant in Yogyakarta, special in Thai meals. Firstly opened few years ago, Phuket always full of people eating there. Now it has two outlets, in North Ringroad and Jl. Dr. Sutomo (please correct if It’s wrong).

Tentang Pak Sumringah dan Bu Legi

Kemarin aku pulang ke kos naik bis dari kampus. Jogja panasnya luar biasa, udaranya lembab bikin gerah. Tapi berada di luar rumah tetap paling menyenangkan buatku, karena kalo di kamar terus makin kerasa pengapnya.

Aku naik bis jalur 7, seperti biasanya. Sebenarnya bisa naik jalur berapa aja, tapi jalur 7 yang paling dekat. Sepanjang pengalamanku naik bis reguler (non-TransJogja) di Jogja, bis yang paling ‘berdinamika’ itu memang bis jalur 7. Isinya rata2 mahasiswa. Entah karena itu juga, copetnya pun lebih banyak dibandingkan bis2 lainnya. Mungkin mereka berpikir mahasiswa itu bawa uang banyak dan gadget-nya macam2, mulai dari handphone, i-pod ataupun mp3 player buatan Cina yang menyerupainya, laptop, dll. Dalam satu bis aja bisa lebih dari 3 orang copet!!! Entah mereka temenan ato kebetulan aja barengan.

World Peace Orchestra @UGM Yogyakarta

Celebrating it’s 60^th anniversary, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) held a musical concert by World Peace Orchestra. World Peace Orchestra is a musical group conducted by Dwiki Dharmawan. They combined various kind of traditional music instruments in the style of orchestra. I was so excited to attend the show, even since the day before. Fortunately I got the ticket!!! *many pepople said it was SOLD OUT*.

On last night’s event, UGM campaigned “Vote Komodo for the New 7 Wonders”. Rector of the university, Prof. Ir. Sudjarwadi, M.Eng, Ph.D, symbolically voted  for it by clicking on the link after the clip of Komodo Island profile.

Ahahaaa…

Ahahaaaa… tiba2 aku kangen dengan orang ini… kemana yah dia, *Wah, ini mesti gara2 dengerin Mad Season barusan*

Rob, I miss youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu……..!!!!!!

Iqamah

اَللهُ أَكْبَرُ اَللهُ أَكْبَرُ

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ

أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُوْلُ اللهِ

حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلاَةِ

حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلاَحِ

قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلاَةُ قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلاَةُ

اَللهُ أَكْبَرُ اَللهُ أَكْبَرُ

لاَ إِلهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ

Sebenarnya saya memposting tulisan ini karna saya ingin menyimpan teks iqamah di cyberspace, tapi setelah saya pikir2 kenapa gak sekalian di-share aja, mungkin ada juga yang membutuhkan versi teks tulisan Arab semacam ini…

Silakan di copy-paste dan mohon digunakan sepatutnya…

3 generations

These are some old pictures framing my family in three generations. Some of them are coloured, but I made them in BW for more dramatic image . It’s important for us and our children to know who their grand and great parents are…

Economy-Class Syndrome

Economy-Class Syndrome, or Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), is a blood clot (thrombosis) that forms in the deep vein system of the lower leg (usually between the ankle and the upper calf). The condition is serious, potentially fatal, and very difficult to diagnose by external examination. Symptoms, if they occur, might include muscle tension in the lower leg, a dull ache or sudden painful tear, or a cramp in the calf with swelling and elevated body temperature.

"The last hope"

Zenbu: House of Mozaru

What is ‘mozaru’? Mozaru is baked rice with mozzarella cheese on it. Based on my culinary experiences, I could only find it HERE in Zenbu.

Zenbu is an open kitchen restaurant that adopted the concept of Japanese fusion in every food. “Positive eating, positive living” is their motto. They use no MSG, and we could find out how many calories in every meals.

Happy Ied

This year’s lebaran (Idul Fitri) is not so different with last years, but always has extraordinary happiness when the (almost) whole family get together in an event. As always before, I celebrated lebaran in my hometown, Jambi.
