Viola vs Violin

VIOLA VS VIOLIN Being a fan of classical music gives me new the knowledge of some instruments. Even though I am not a musician, I am interested in classical instruments and orchestra. One of the instruments that attract me the most is Violin. Before I go deeper to know more about violin, I thought violin is the English translation of Biola in Indonesia and had no clues about viola, but after I watched some YouTube videos and did some web-surfing, I realized that viola and violin are two different instruments. Here are some differences and similarities between those look alike instruments. If I catch a glimpse of both instruments, they look like twin. I might call viola as violin and other way around. But if we observe the details, their differences on physical appearances are obvious. The wooden materials and accessories such as case, bow, strings, tuner, chin and shoulder rest might deceive us, but if we look further on their size, measurements and clef I can tell they ar...

Unfinished Short Story

Cafe Daydream I remember that   I met him two years ago in a coffee shop near by the Maryglots lake. Friday night with Barry Manillow’s famous song on the played accompanied me sitting alone at the seat by the window. The drizzles outside became my sight view while I was waiting for my chocolate milkshake to arrive because I had nothing to be done since my phone out of battery. People’s crowded footsteps could be heard clearly by me. I looked up the café’s door every time the people passed by. Suddenly, someone that was familiar appeared through the door alone. He looked similar with someone I knew. I observed him from top to toe. A bit messy brown hair fit his small face. He wore a moss green inner turtle neck with a dark brown long coat and black skinny pants; all were perfect but one, his puffy grey slipper. He walked straight to the order table, I didn’t what he was order he did it by pointing at the menu screen and comb his hair at the same time. Then, he looked ar...

I Love You, Noah Centineo

I Love you, Noah Recently, I am obsessed with Noah Centineo  who starred as Peter Kavinski, the main character of Netflix movie “ To All The Boys that I’ve Loved Before”. I like him in the movie as Peter Kavinski as well as his real self-Noah Centineo. He can pull off Kavinski’s character with his Attractiveness. He’s the type of guy who gets cheered along everywhere he goes because of his looks. He is a white-tall guy who got a nice looking leg which support the way he walks at school when he played Peter’s role. He got a small head but still perfectly fits his full well-built body. His messy curly brown hair attracts people to cuddling with him. Then, if I look at his round face, I fall in love with his face’s features. First thing that I notice is, even though his nose is quite big and his eyebrows are thick, it does still look good on him. He also got sparkling deer-like brown eyes together with his thick and wide mouth present a bright smile. It gives the smiling vibe...

Make New Friends with Japanese

A month ago, I had a chance to join cross cultural training (CCT), training between Japanese and Indonesia to commemorate Indonesia and Japan Relationship. Actually, it was an annual exchange program from Sing Out Asia (SOA) Indonesia and Japan, an organization and acapella group for university student to experiences multicultural. I wasn’t the one who was joined the exchange program, but I was the participant of CCT, because I would be SOA Japan committee for their mini concert at UIN Jakarta. So, the recruitment of the committee for the mini concert was opened by International Studies Club (ISC) my organization in the late semester off. I thought I should join this one so I would become closer with my seniors. I had no idea about what kind of event it was and never expected it would be one of my best experiences. I couldn’t come to the first meeting, so I was excluded from the list of the committee who would join CCT at Swissbellin Pondok Indah. I was okay with that...
