It seems to me that I have gained an enormous amount of weight this week.
I hope I can fix that up with my newly-given-by-my-friends digital weight scale.
Thanks to Eek and the Neneks on the Glodok.
My weight is now 86 kg.
Dining is a delightful process for both my tongue and my stomach.
Today I made some onion rings. I got the recipe from a good friend of mine, complete with the tips and tricks.
Right now my weight is about 84 kg.
You may laugh at me if you will when you read this story, but have no doubt that I’m not fond at all with mouse or rat.
This morning, I woke up at 8. As usual, I went to the bathroom. Just when I entered the bathroom, I saw a big, black, dead rat inside the water container. I was shocked and almost screamed. Damn you dead rat!
My weight is 85 kg.
Lagu "Payung Fantasi" pertama kukenal dari acara kuis TVRI waktu kecil duluuuuuuuu sekali berjudul "Kuis Siapa Dia?". Kuis ini biasanya menghadirkan panelis yang disuruh menebak di antara ketiga orang peserta manakah yang palsu. Terkadang diberi juga format lain di mana hadir 1 orang peserta yang harus ditebak profesinya. Anyway, lagu "Payung Fantasi" terus-menerus memberi rasa penasaran dalam diriku untuk terus mendengarnya. Berikut lirik lagu tersebut, hope you’ll enjoy this song too.
Payung Fantasi
(Ismail Marzuki)
Lenggang mengorak menarik hati serentak
Hei, hei siapa dia?
Wajah sembunyi di balik payung fantasi
Hei, hei siapa dia?
Siapa gerangan Dinda? Bidadari dari surga?
Ataukah burung kenari membawa harapan pelipur hati?
Payung fantasi arah ke mana dituju?
Hei, hei tunggu dulu
Bolehkah aku melihat seri wajahmu?
Bolehkah disayang?
Payung fantasi melambai di sinar pagi
Hei, hei cantik nian
Boleh kupandang wajahmu secantik bintang?
Bolehkah kupandang?
Siapa gerangan Tuan? Cendrawasih dari bulan?
Ataukah si bintang siang membawa pelipur rasa bahagia?
Payung fantasi melambai di sinar pagi
Hei, hei cantik nian
Boleh kupandang wajahmu secantik bintang?
Bolehkah disayang?
Saya sudah sejak lama (dari kecil) menyenangi musik keroncong. Bunyi ukulele dan gesekan biola memberi kekhasan pada musik keroncong yang tidak dimiliki musik lain. Rasa suka ini mungkin berasal dari mama, yang memang katanya pernah jadi penyanyi keroncong kampung, dan juga dari nenek yang sering memutar lagu keroncong di radionya, kakek saya pun juga dulu adalah pemain ukulele.
Saya yakin tidak banyak di antara teman-teman sekalian yang menyenangi lagu-lagu lama, apalagi keroncong. Ayah, kakak, maupun adik sayapun tidak ada yang menyenangi musik keroncong.
Lagu-lagu keroncong pernah mengalami masa emasnya pada tahun-tahun perjuangan. Alasan saya menulis post ini pun tak lepas dari teringatnya saya pada lagu-lagu semacam itu mengingat banyaknya pemutaran lagu-lagu sejenis pada hari ini, 17 Agustus 2006.
Salah seorang komponis lagu yang memang luar biasa, baik dalam penciptaan lagu keroncong maupun perjuangan adalah Ismail Marzuki. Siapa yang tidak tahu lagu "Halo-halo Bandung", "Rangkaian Melati", atau "Selendang Sutera"? Lagu-lagu itu adalah beberapa lagu memang sangat bagus didengar.
Saya berharap suatu saat nanti keroncong pun akan kembali mengalami masa jayanya. Bukankah jenis musik jazz dan musik beraliran vintage sudah mulai banyak lagi? Sepertinya hanya masalah waktu hingga keroncong menjadi booming lagi. Tentunya dengan sedikit modifikasi seperti yang telah dilakukan Slank pada lagu "Juwita Malam"
Berat badan saat ini tetap 85 kg (semoga cepat turun. Amin) .
I really don’t understand myself sometimes.
I realize that most of my friends are in tunes with hiphop, RnB, and such. But I find no greatness in those kind of songs.
I do enjoy the true essence of music through old jazzy tunes of Broadway songs, the beautiful, yet sad song from most people who doesn’t even exist anymore in this world.
Well, although the circumstances are not supporting my side, but I guess there are a lot of people who do understand my taste for music. I hope someday I’ll meet them.
Oh yeah, if you notice my indicator at the end of my posts, you’ll realize that I have lost some weight than gained some. I have to tell you that, in my case, the "don’t eat dinner, just drink 2 glass of fruit juice" diet did succeed in reducing my weight and my HAIR. So, I stopped using this method. My hair does regrow but so does my weight. I suggest not using this diet method.
My weight this time is 85 kg.
Today is a new start for me and a few colleagues of mine in the Microbiology Laboratory.
Certain things did happen, but those are predictable even before the process had begun.
Right now I’m confused whether to take the Bioethics class this semester or not. If I take the course this semester, it would be very easy for me next year. But if I do that, there’s also the possibility of not gaining a perfect mark this time since a lot and difficult subjects have been loitering throughout this whole semester.
Well, let’s leave all those behind since there is no need to worry too much. After all, I did pass fourth semester quite good, didn’t I?
By the way, although this may be unrealized by me, some of my friends have been considering me as a proud, rude, and egoistic person. These remarks, much or less, have been affecting the way I socialize nowadays. I wonder, do I really need to bother all those?
I have some other plans for the future. I’m planning on writing a certain series of comedic tragic story and a scientific article. Hope these plans will work just fine and give me some money.
Hehehe.
Bye for now.
My weight for today is 85 kg.
