Eight years ago. My cousin had a Slipknot cassette, and he often played it. I used to really hate Corey’s growled vocal. It was quite disturbing.
Two years ago. I was changing the TV channel when I suddenly saw Slipknot’s live concert. After watching the show for awhile, I felt that the vocal was no longer unfamiliar, although I still didn’t like their music (and I don’t).
Now. I regularly listen to metal bands that make use of unordinary vocal style like Cradle of Filth and Children of Bodom.
What have happened to my ears?

PS : I prefer high-pitched scream and shriek used in bands mentioned above to death growl used in bamds like Sepultura and Napalm Death.
PS 2 : I am currently listening to Santa Monica

Akhir-akhir ini lagi sebel…

Lihat Rian majang fotonya pas dia berdiri di deket Menara Petronas jadi gambar YM…
Lihat Irfan majang fotonya pas dia berdiri di deket Merlion jadi gambar YM (asli apa editan?)…
Lihat Bima majang fotonya di Belanda jadi gambar YM (betulkah?)…
Lihat Sunu majang logonya KMITL jadi gambar YM (dan asal comment-nya dia pun dari domain yang belakangnya .ac.th!)…
Lihat Dafferianto majang fotonya di Eropa di blog…
Lihat Lesnanto pake account email dgn domain fmi.com…

Awas kalian!!!
Walaupun domain ntu.edu.sg sepertinya sebentar lagi sudah bisa dipakai, tapi…
Nanti aku bakal foto di rumahnya Kurt Cobain!
Nanti aku bakal foto di kuburannya Jimi Hendrix!
Nanti aku bakal foto di kuburannya Isaac Newton!
Nanti aku bakal foto di kuburannya Galileo Galilei!
Nanti aku bakal foto di tengah George W Bush sama Mahmoud Ahmadinejad yang lagi salaman!! (emang mungkin ya? )

Damailah bumiku…

(Tapi sepertinya aku ga bakal lihat fotonya Joe duduk di kursi pengantin dengan Dian Sastrowardoyo ataupun Zaskia Mecca, apalagi maen sepakbola di Anfield dalam rangka Premiere League )

UPDATE 20 JUNI 2008 : Ternyata Irfan itu foto di deket Merlion versi Surabaya!! Ah sial ketipu…

Malam ini aku eyel2an sama adikku masalah matematika. Ceritanya, adikku ada tugas matematika, salah satunya tentang mencari sudut antara 2 bidang dalam sebuah limas segitiga yang 2 dari 4 sisinya adalah segitiga siku-siku. Eyel2an dimulai ketika pada salah satu langkah adikku lebih memilih pake aturan sinus, sedangkan aku Teorema Pythagoras. Kami sama-sama merasa nyaman dengan cara masing-masing, dan menganggap cara yang lain susah. Akhirnya kami setuju untuk tidak setuju. Toh hasil akhirnya sama saja.

Seperti eyel2an agama (atau apa ajalah) yang semua / salah satu partisipannya (saling) mengkafirkan ya

Theme song hari ini adalah The Beatles - Yer Blues.

But I am of the universe…
…..
I feel suicidal, just like Dylan’s Mr Jones…

PS: Aku sebenernya ga begitu suka lagu blues sih. Adikku lebih suka. Tapi hari ini tahu2 pingin nyanyi sambil teriak2, dan tiba2 terlintas lagu ini. Lirik dicari, tab dicari, file Guitar Pro didownload (gitaris cupu yg bisanya cari tab ), gitar diambil, nyanyi lagi…

Feel so suicidal, even hate my rock and roll…

What a weird weekend…

1. Happy Saturday

• I went to Adi Sucipto Airport to accompany Wanda depart to Jakarta. She is working in Schlumberger, the training will be in Abu Dhabi, and the placement will be in China. Ah…worldwide adventurer…I wonder when I can be like her, travelling to many countries…
• I and the remaining friends had a breakfast.
• I rehearsed with my friends, playing music from 80s…you know, the kind of Skid Row, Bon Jovi…because we lost our vocalists (some are already working, the rest is seeking (desperately :p) for a job), I became the lead vocalist. The members of the band said that my voice is good for singing those songs…gosh, I hope they REALLY know my voice’s characteristic! I think I’m better at singing 60s and 90s rock songs…and pop, of course . Please don’t give me high-pitched or full of growl songs!! I lost my voice shortly afterward…but only for a few hours.
• After rehearsing, I ate Acehnese food for the first time.
• At night, I applied for student dorm at Nanyang Technological University online.

2. Emotionally-mixed Sunday : Sad, Weird, Nostalgic

• Morning, my cell phone rang loudly. Lukman sent me a message that Cosmas’ mother had passed away…the requiem would be in 12, and the burial would be in 14. Rest in peace, mam…
• I wanted to take my mother to local market, but I got tire leak on my motorcycle…
• I took my motorcycle to nearby tire plugger, and then saw a mentally sick person…what was he doing? Praying? Meditating? Practicing Kungfu? (here in Indonesia you can sometimes find mentally sick people wandering on the road)
• I accidentally put the motorcycle’s kickstand on my foot….Ouuccchhhhhh!!!!
• I attended requiem for Cosmas’ mother
• Things get happier…I had lunch with several friends…
• At night, I had a nostalgic event : I had a chat with the 1st
• Finally, I wrote this post.

Wew…I’m becoming older and older. I remember chasing a cat in the backyard of my house. It seems like yesterday, but it was about 17 years ago. And now many of my friends and seniors are already married : Deri, Nico, Mastris, Nathalie, so on. Many others already either planned or set their wedding : Ilma, Giri….Who wants to be the next? Ryan? Fikri? Rico? Tepe? Andri? Desi? Adin? I guess it’s not going to be me…

I am afraid to have an established life, with permanent salary, house, a family. It makes me feel old! Well, I think it’s just me. The idea (of having established life) must not be that horrible, and after all I have to face it. Nevertheless, although my physical body is aging, I will try to keep my idealism "forever young", until my soul is separated with my body and travels to hyperplane afterlife. If someday I lose my idealism, I think I better die…no, I won’t kill myself…for now

Finally, a short goodbye message (for today).

Silakan coba, siapa tahu ketemu jodoh

Dari 5, gagal 4. Yang satu lagi masih tanda tanya. Jembatan dah terlihat, tapi masih belum yakin aku dipersilakan atau belum. Bagaimana ini? Apa cari jembatan lain lagi?

Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t know exactly how this blog started to be a diarym, but here it is…

Just this morning. As I entered my campus, I saw a girl. Although only seeing her back and hair, I was sure that she was the 2nd! I ran up the stairs quickly, and slipped….(Un) fortunately she did not notice me…

Just before I went to eat, I met R & D. I greeted D, without saying even a word to R. Ah……..

Right after I came to campus after eating, I couldn’t find my flashdisk. I thought I put it in my sack, but it lost. I went back to the place where I ate, and the owner said that she didn’t find anything. Gosh, the 2nd flashdisk lost in 5 days….

What else? I hope it will discontinue, because I am going to go to Kaliurang in 1 hour and I don’t want to have troubles anymore.

Well, I tend to write in English from now on, so please get used to it .
