Welcome! This is my own 365 project of creating at least one post per day about the stuff that I learnt, achieved, and found, the stuff that made me happy, or the new thing I did every single day.
The project was started on 21 February 2010. It has stopped for few times but I am determined to continue!
This project is dedicated to myself. I want to feel grateful for every single thing I have. I want to be thankful for my own life. I just want to feel that I have enough.
When you have a lot of things you want to get rid of (and you’re kinda lazy to cook), it’s best to make nasi goreng (fried rice)! Broccolis, zucchinis, shrimps, and mushrooms ๐ — everything needs to be gone by next week.
Glad it’s over! Phew. Finally I can take a rest a little bit. Our performance at the Festival Muziek op de Dommel was the biggest one so far, targeting the Dutch public audience, instead of Indonesians or students. We didn’t get to perform at the main stage, but hopefully next year we would be able to perform there!!
On that day, we all gathered in the chapel nearby the festival to do our last rehearsal before our performance. Then we walked from the chapel to the venue.
It was so hot on that day! We were all grumpy waiting for the performance at the main stage to finish. We were behind the schedule.
The cutest loyal angklung supporters who never failed to attend the rehearsals right from the beginning ๐
Conclusion: it was a great performance! I really enjoyed it. The audience seemed to enjoy it too coz we got 2 offers to perform again. Yay!

Here’s the video of one of our performances, playing Sleeping Beauty by Tchaikovsky.
Yay! Finally it’s here! The festival that we’ve all been waiting for is coming up very soon. I’m thrilled and super excited. I can’t wait to perform and promote our culture ๐ I also can’t wait to watch the orchestra. It’s going to be awesome! I’ll post the videos when they’re available.
Since the theme of this year’s festival is Russian music, so we decided to play the following songs (I include the links of the past performances too): Kalinka, Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini v2, Swan Lake, and Sleeping Beauty.
I went to Enschede today with some friends to visit Baby Kenji. Enschede is a city 3 hours away from Eindhoven by train; quite far by Dutch standard. Before we visited the newly born, we went around the centrum first and had lunch at La Place. My friend had some discount coupons so we used them to buy 2 tuna sandwiches, 2 fruit cakes, 2 banana yoghurt drink, and 2 coffee. It was only 5 euro per person! Hehehe. I loveeeeeeee bargains! ๐
And… baby Kenji?!
He was just an adorable and cute little baby! Oooohh I always wanted to squeeze him soooo tight! Soo sooo soooooooo CUTE!!!!
Great job, everyone ๐ And yes, that’s the trophy!
This would be the last event I organized and involved in. I still have a web design work to do with an Islamic School here, then I’m done and I will focus on my thesis entirely… Oh boring life awaits…
