I didn't attend my school, it would be 2 days holiday. I stayed home but still woke up earlier.
Computer was still turned on, forgot to shut it down. The music kept playing, I was so careless, letting the computer turned on and music playing all night long. But that morning, it was a silent morning. Piano sounded from the speaker, the song was "Beautiful Dusk". So ridiculous, it wasn't dusk. It was dawn..
I opened the curtain covering the window, then opened the window. Cold wind got through the window, it felt so cold, as cold as a corpse being left by the soul fly up up away to heaven. The music blended with the atmosphere, making something unusual and special for me in that morning. I sat on the corner of my bed and looked outside. Grey, white, orange, dark-violet, that was all I saw in the sky. Degradation of those colors made a spectacular painting created by Lord. Bird started chirping, humming, and flying low around the tree. No sunshine got down through the clouds. They were too thick, so no sunshine reflected in my window. Music kept playing, I closed my eyes and enjoyed the feelings. I tried to blend with the nature, and I did it. The nature and I, we were an intact unity. Then, sounds of chirping birds echoed in my ears. I opened my eyes and found the sun has totally arisen but still the thick clouds above, blocked the sunshine. The sky was cloudy then.
I wish, still I could have that morning again..

Issue for Today : Asean China Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA)
This is the one of the hottest issues in Indonesia today. Yeah, let's walk out from "Century Bank" case for a while, and take a look at this motion.
Okay, time to speak Indonesian! (LOL, taking bilingual class)
Motion ini tiba-tiba terpikir di benak saya setelah sempat di bahas di pelajaran Kewarganegaraan siang itu (entahlah, dalam forum diskusi kelas ada yang tiba-tiba bertanya mengenai ACFTA ini dan langsung dibahas oleh guru pelajaran). Dia (guru pelajaran sosial), memaparkan tentang bagaimana sebenarnya ACFTA itu dan segala macam pernak-perniknya (aksesoris kali, mas...). Ternyata, ide mengenai perdagangan bebas ini tidak muncul sekarang-sekarang, melainkan sudah pernah tercetus sekitar 10 tahun yang lalu! Kalau memang sudah tercetus dari 10 tahun yang lalu, maka seharusnya Indonesia sekarang ini sudah siap untuk menghadapi Free Trade dengan negara-negara Asean lainnya (Laos, Myanmar, dan Vietnam pada tahun 2015) dan tentunya China (hhuuu... saya kangen kampung halaman). Tapi pada kenyataannya, pasar Indonesia 'memang' belum mampu mendobrak pasar luar. Yeah, bisa dibayangkan ketika barang-barang dari luar masuk ke Indonesia dengan bebas. Bagaimana dengan nasib perusahaan-perusahaan di Indonesia, terutama perusahaan kecil atau usaha rumahan?
Dalam kasus termudah, sebelum tahun 2010 saja (misalnya 2009 atau 2008, 2000 juga boleh as you wish dah!) coba kita lihat dari produk-produk yang ada di pasaran, terutama mainan! Jarang banget saya lihat produk dengan atribut 'Made in Indonesia'. Kalaupun ada sepertinya mainan 'asli' Indonesia (becak-becakan, kelereng, atau layangan), tapi kan pada faktanya memang ngga kelihatan kan label 'Made in Indonesia' di layangan, apalagi di kelereng. Sebagai gantinya, kita mungkin pernah dengar lelucon 'orang Bali yang tinggal di Hongkong' alias 'Made in China'. Silahkan coba cari ke toko mainan atau elektronik. Maka kita akan mudah mendapatkan atribut 'Made in China'. Itu membuktikan bahwa begitu banyaknya produk China dibandingkan produk asli Indonesia.
Kasus berikutnya, coba deh ke supermarket atau minimarket. Dan ambil beberapa makanan ringan brand tertentu. Saya, salah satunya yang sering membeli kripik kentang merk ..............., coklat batang merk ............, dan wafer merk ......... Saya dapat dengan mudah melihat label di belakang produk : "Imported from Malaysia" atau "Imported from Singapore". Tentu saja tidak semua produk itu diimpor dari Singapura atau Malaysia. Pasti ada lah produk asli Indonesia. Tapi anehnya, kenapa justru produk 'imporan' itu lebih banyak fansnya dibandingkan produk asli Indonesia? Memang bagi sebagian orang, yang namanya popularitas 'brand' itu faktor utama dalam membeli sesuatu. Misalnya, susu merk A diimpor dari negara blablabla menggunakan teknologi terbaru dan duaar dengan harga N rupiah memiliki kandungan (misalnya ya) kalsium X gram. Sementara susu merk B produksi Indonesia menggunakan teknologi yang ada dengan harga M rupiah yang lebih murah daripada N rupiah namun memiliki kalsium X gram, yang sama dengan susu A. Saya lihat, orang-orang lebih memilih susu merk A karena atribut 'Imported from .....'
Ironis! Seperti yang guru saya paparkan bahwa Indonesia mengekspor bukan barang jadi melainkan bahan baku dan bahan setengah jadi! Contohnya? Kain! Gampang kan? Di Bandung terutama hari Sabtu dan Minggu, Pasar Baru Trade Center yang penuh dengan ratusan bahkan ribuan atau mungkin puluhan ribu umat manusia berjejalan untuk memborong barang sampai perang tawar-tawaran (they keep bargaining but I can't bargain well LOL). Eits, diantara ribuan orang itu yang terdiri dari berbagai ras dan agama, seperti Sunda, Cina, Jawa (yang rela dengan bus wisata rombongan datang buat shopping sepuasnya, thanks for coming to my city ya guys!), Betawi, Batak, Bali, semuanya! Ternyata, ada juga serombongan kelompok yang terlihat 'mirip' kita. Mirip? Yeah, mereka orang Melayu alias Malaysia yang datang jauh-jauh dari Kuala Lumpur atau Johor Baru or wherever they are ke Bandung desak-desakan buat shopping. Mereka memborong (biasanya) ga cuma baju, tetapi kain! Kain? Yup, harga kain (garment) di Indonesia (katanya sih) lebih murah dibanding disana, makanya mereka berombongan datang dan ngeborong kain-kain yang ada. Setelah kembali, entah kain itu dibuat apa disana tapi kain itu akan kembali ke Indonesia sebagai baju bukan kain lagi! Dan parahnya, terkadang baju-baju atau kain hanya dibawa kesana buat di-tag dengan brand tertentu yang mahal atau 'wah', maka seketika pula harganya meningkat tajam. Maka, kain yang dibeli di Indonesia seharga (misalnya) 90.000 IDR, dibawa ke negara lain dan 'dikembalikan' dalam bentuk baju dengan brand apalah yang akhirnya dijual dengan harga 3 kali lipatnya. Ya Tuhan...
Kasus yang sama mengenai ekspor impor juga dijelaskan oleh guru saya tentang kayu rotan. Indonesia mengekspor rotan ke negara lain. Dan akhirnya, rotan tersebut 'dikembalikan' alias diimpor lagi ke Indonesia dalam bentuk furnitur! Kalau aja, Indonesia mengekspor barang jadi, bukan bahan baku atau setengah jadi.. yeah, mungkin setidaknya tidak akan mengalami 'kerugian' seperti itu. Ohya, kembali ke Pasar Baru Trade Center, Bandung. Selagi orang-orang memborong baju dan pesta tawar harga, kain-kain impor datang ke gudang dengan harga yang bersaing ekstrim! Indonesia juga punya banyak pabrik garment, tapi bersaing dengan kain-kain impor dari Cina yang katanya harganya lebih murah dari kain produksi pabrikan Indonesia. Belum lagi kain-kain atau baju dari designer terkenal di dunia seperti Versace, Gucci, atau apalah. Lantas, produk impor akan lebih mendominasi dan tentu saja menyebabkan kerugian buat produk bikinan Indonesia. Harga barang-barang produkan Cina lebih murah karena biaya tenaga kerja mereka juga murah (maksudnya ya.. mungkin dari salary, lebih rendah daripada salary pekerja di Indonesia). Kenapa bisa lebih murah? Karena disana banyak Human Resources. Pasti! China dengan penduduk sekitar 1 milyar, mendominasi daratan yang ada di bumi ini dan tersebar di berbagai negara. Artinya, China punya banyak sekali pekerja kan?
Kalau perdagangan bebas ini dipaksakan, bukannya tidak mungkin bahwa Indonesia akan kalah saingan. Nanti kita lihat, akan sangat banyak produk 'imporan' dari Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, atau China berserakan dimana-mana (berserakan karena kalau sudah banyak ya.. overwhelming aja kali ya?). Dan bukan tidak mungkin, akan semakin banyak pemutusan hubungan kerja di Indonesia. Memang seharusnya Indonesia sudah mempersiapkan selama 10 tahun itu untuk menghadapi perdagangan bebas ini, tapi sepertinya ya.. ya sudah lah, pada akhirnya I just can hope for the betterment saja. Entahlah, ya saya sih percaya pada mujizat ya (Miracle is real, kan?) yang mungkin tiba-tiba saja pasar Indonesia mendominasi seluruh pasar ASEAN dan China (wow!) dan membuat nilai rupiah menguat (whoaaaa!).
Hhhh... sekarang banyak demo menuntut perdagangan bebas dihentikan. Yeah, mereka pasti sudah melihat prospek kedepannya seperti apa. Semoga saja, langkah-langkah yang diambil para petinggi bukan langkah yang salah.. I wish..

My Favorite: Happy Island on Facebook
A friend invited me to play a game called 'Happy Island'. Usually, I ignored unwanted invitation requests (especially for useless stuffs), but dunno why I confirmed the invitation and started playing the game.
*My island, LOL still (level 8)
Now, still I play the game. Simply funny. Developed by Crowdstar, this game allows us to build and decorate our own island. Also, visiting our friends is allowed.
But nowadays, hardly to be online so I haven't played the game for several days. I just play it again and see nothing changes a lot but my buildings have earned coins to be collected. I just click on the buildings and earn my money.
*Island Shop, enables us to buy some attractions and decorations for our island
There are some ways to earn money :
*Visiting Sendy's island
- Visiting neighbors. Then, clean their trashes and click on the treasure chest. It will earn money, also gain the XP points
- Clicking on the building. The indicator will show when the building is ready to be earned. Click the bag coin to earn money (it only works in your own buildings, not someone's building)
- Cleaning your island. Trashes also spread around your island. Earn money by cleaning those trashes.
- Selling decoration. This also can help you earning money.
*NEW on Happy Island! If you have reached level 15, secondary islands are available! The picture shown above is about visiting Idoey's island
Something new on Happy Island. Secondary islands can be achieved if you have reached certain levels. I'm still in level 8 so I cannot achieve secondary islands. Also, higher level you reach, more attractions and decorations you can buy.

Suzuki Violin School: Violin Part, Volume 2
*Giggling*
*Same cover layout as the first one, nothing changes a lot
Poww!! (Falling from the ceiling like a spidey LOL) The second book of Suzuki Violin School books by Shinichi Suzuki. The songs included are (a bit) more difficult and more challenging than the first one. Still, song names and composers are written in 5 different languages (English, Japanese, French, Italian, and German).
Here is the songlist below :
- Chorus From "Judas Maccabaeus" by G.F. Handel
- Musette by J.S. Bach
- Hunters' Chorus by C.M. von Weber
- Long, Long Ago by T.H. Bayly
- Waltz by J. Brahms
- Bourree by G.F. Handel
- The Two Grenadiers by R. Schumann
- Theme From "Witches' Dance" by N. Paganini
- Gavotte From "Mignon" by A. Thomas
- Gavotte by J.B. Lully
- Minuet In G by L. van Beethoven
- Minuet by L. Boccherini
Several comments by me come to several pieces
*Hunter's Chorus, 3rd piece from the book
The piece should be played in Allegro, with catchy tunes at last 3 bars. Legato and staccato are also available here. The first favorite piece in this book.
*Long Long Ago, new variation part of the piece
Still, we can find this piece in this book. But, now played in G major (related to the first book, the same piece is played in A major [3 sharps]). The part above shows the variation part of this song. Legatos and staccatos applied to those notes make me dizzy. Down, up, up, legato, double up-staccato. Rrrrraarrrr...!!
*Bourrée, find this piece in this book
My second favorite piece in this book. Played in medium tempo (Allegretto), I can play this one well (but not perfectly). An ascending scale can be found in the first and the last part of this piece.
*The Two Grenadiers, I found some stupidities in this piece (together with my cousin)
Hahaha, here is a piece which has made me and my cousin laughed stupidly. Firstly, I didn't really like this piece until my cousin visited my house and said, "Wow, listen to this song. This is so stupid but funny!". I listened to the song firstly and it sounded a bit awkward, then she commented in some parts of this song :
"Listen! This sounds like.. rrrarr!!What's that?""Yay! I remember! This is like a song which has phrase like this, 'Tempat pahala dan dosa bersaksi..', right?""Hahahahahahaha!"
So stupid we were talking and laughing. Then, we found another stupidity at the last part in which is sounded like a song we have known before.
Yep! It sounded like one of Indonesian folk-song, "Dari Sabang Sampai Merauke!"
*Note : It might be sounded different for different people, just a speculation
*Gavotte from 'Mignon', I love the pizzicato-ed notes at the last bars
The third favorite song from this book. Still, the tempo in medium speed (Allegretto), but it has several bars which contains demi-semi-quaver notes and they sound like trills. Also, last bars which contain pizzicato for the notes. A bit cutie, like its name : Gavotte from 'Mignon' (Mignon means cute in French).
*Minuet in G, composed by Beethoven
The last favorite piece from this book. This is the second-last piece contained in this book, the last piece is Minuet by L. Boccherini. Nothing's really special here, but I love the way in moving the bow at the middle parts (legato and 4 up-staccatos).
This book can be found or bought at Amazon.com (possibly available in your bookstore or music store). I really recommend this book, and you gotta try it yourself :)

My Favorite: Pianos from Famous Brands
Favorite pianos from my favorite piano brands. I can't imagine for the price but I keep imagining to play that piano, afford it, take it home, or play it on a concert LOL. Steinway and Sons, my first favorite piano maker brand. I've played a baby grand of Steinway and Sons once, and I really liked it! I wished I could take it home :'(
This is Steinway and Sons : Parlor Grand (Model A), with length : 188 cm (6' 22''), big enough for small space 
Steinway and Sons : Music Room Grand (Model B). 211 cm (6' 10 1/2''). Bigger than the parlor one, and truly I don't really like the stool.
Steinway and Sons : Living Room Grand (model O). 180 cm (5' 10 3/4''). See, this is smaller than both of 'em! I can put it in my living room or library! I love the stool :) it looks comfortable.
At last! Steinway and Sons : Concert Grand (model D), 274 cm (8' 11 3/4''), wtf I don't have big space for this one! But this looks so precious, luxurious, and.. *aaaargh! gotta get that! I have to work for.. umh.. I can't imagine 'bout the price :'(( Here are another pianos from Steinway and Sons (and please don't think about the price!) :
