The Comforting Set-up

There’s always a certain kind of comfort whenever I listen to music in the darkness.   

It’s not that I like darkness that much, I just find solitude here. When my eyes are no longer busy taking care of my surrounding, suddenly everything feels so much less complicated. It’s comforting, really. The lights is no longer jabbing your eyes and you’re left blinded, the only thing left is the peaceful darkness. Maybe a part of the reason why it’s comforting is the fact that you can’t see much, and so you start to ignore your surrounding and furthermore your world. It’s quiet, but, usually when I lay alone in the quiet darkness my thoughts would run wild and bizarre, that’s why music is needed. Music always takes me to a whole new universe. It has an effect that nothing else has, it can lifts up and slams down my mood at the same time. It’s the best thing that can give me comfort, that’s why it collaborates the best with the dark room. 

it’s my very own version of comfort, we may have it different, so find your own comforting set-up :)

August: Part I

Hello! 

I know I haven't updated this blog for a quite long time, so many things have happened I don't even know where to start telling you. Oh by the way some friends of mine addressed my last post "leaf", they asked me why and showed their concern. I don't even know that there are people who actuallly read this blog, however I'm really grateful for those people, thank you for caring. It's okay, It was just one of my ups and downs. 

Okay, let's get started here......
What's been happening in my life?

You all know how much I want to study in SAPPK ITB right? Well, you also know how I failed miserably last year, And some of you probably know how I felt like I don't belong in mathematics. But do you know that this year I got accepted in SAPPK ITB?!

I can't stop saying Alhamdulilah and thanking Allah SWT. My dream really came true, maybe God just wanted me to wait, I'm sure there must be a reason behind everything. Thank you, thank you!

Thank you for all of my friends who never stopped supporting and believing in me, I really appreciate all of your "it's okay", "good luck", "you can do it!" "I believe in you". Thank you for my family who's been very supportive and loving. Thank you for everything everyone~!

I gotta admit that it's so funny, it seems like God has planned all of this for me. Remember weeks ago when I was really down, unmotivated, and blue? Well it took time, but I somehow managed to get my self out of the mess, and then I said to my self "it's okay, everything is really okay, it's time to let go. You're gonna be good, just go on, maybe this is where you belong, it's okay"  Seriously that was the time when I stopped worrying too much about everything and just let everything go, let everything flow. And suddenly BAM, God gives me something I've wanted for years, it's like a belated birthday gift. 

I earn so much lessons, First of all is to never give up no matter how impossible it seems, second is not to worry too much, and third is to believe that God always has a bigger plan for you.

Between the glee and all the euphoric feelings,

I'm very, very, very sad.
I have met so many great people in last year, and God knows how amazing my best friends are. I'm so lucky to ever got a chance to know them. Dit,Va,Ken,Nan,Mar,Tang,Zan..., take care there, and please try not to forget me :')  . Thank you for always being there, thank you for never stopped lending a helping hand, thank you for keep listening no matter how random my conversation is, thank you for accompanying me whenever I suddenly craved for some random foods. Thank you for being there!

I know that this is just a start of something so much bigger, I know that the journey won't be as easy as what I expected. I know that the road can be bumpy, and the mountain is very high, I'll try to do my best and make up for what I didn't get to do last year. 

❤ ❤ ❤

"But if you wanna leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
Just remember there's
A lot of bad and beware"

I don't have any idea where this quote came from, but it's just perfect.

#SigurRosJKT

Sigur Ros is a post-rock band from Iceland who just held its very first concert in Indonesia, it was held on 10 May 2013. After all the struggles of saving money, I was finally able to buy the ticket. I went there with the person who introduced me with the band, my big brother.
They said the concert would be started at 7 p.m, being very excited we were, we arrived at 4 p.m. We really thought that the queuing line would've been started by then but turns out there was no line, all of the sudden people just gathered in front of the door. So basically I should have come much much later because the concert started at 9 pm.

My money only got me the tribune seats, but my seat was PERFECT. I was right in front of the stage and the distance wasn't far. I could see them very clearly. I also saw some people smoking cigarette on the festival area so I guess I was really lucky indeed.
I'm gonna tell you about the concert but please don't expect too much, I'm not a wordsmith....

I have heard people saying that you must at least watch Sigur Ros concert once before you die. I have heard people saying that Sigur Ros concert is really great. I also have watched some of their concert in youtube
and it was really cool indeed. But I didn't expect it to be this AMAZING

It was everything you could have asked. When we entered the hall, the stage was covered by huge white screen. I and my brother wondered how will they lifted up the screen, but they didn't. The first song started and images and videos were projected to the screen. Right behind the screen we could see their silhouettes playing their instrument. Damn it was gorgeous! The first song was Yfirborð I almost cried when I first heard Jonsi's voice.  The second song was Ný Batterí and that was the time when the screen effect got to the climax. They showed silhouettes of different member on each beats then they just let the screen fell and the crowd got wild.

This is their setlist:

Every song has its climax and new things to leave the audience in awe. When Hoppípolla came the crowd went wild again. I was frantic! I couldn't even turn my camera on, I had never been that happy this year.
In some songs the crowd made their own 'koor' and it drew smiles on their faces, jonsi also said 'thank you'.

My favorite moment was Ný Batter, Svefn-g-englar, Glósóli , Hoppipola, and definitely the encore Popplagið. Popplagio was mad! damnit, I couldn't even say a word, my mouth literally hanged open, and my eyes were fixed on the stage. Everyone turned on their video camera, and the crowd goes wilder as if it was possible. 


I only knew half of the songs and I couldn't understand a word they were singing. But my emotion was crumpled up and shaken up. Their talent, their music, their stage act are something to be thankful for, and Jonsi's voice must be a gift from the God. 



it was more than just a concert, it was almost like a spiritual journey. I guess the right word to describe the concert is 'magical'. Yes, the Sigur Ros concert was magical.

---------------------------------
p.s at the end of the concert I heard someone said "Subhanallah, Subhanallah ya Allah itu keren banget". While I really agreed with him, I couldn't help but laughed.

RUN WHILE YOU CAN!

look what I just found at the bottom of our 'laporan python'. I'm pretty sure, she is reffering to the whole programming language, not just the nested if. Because I would run away from all of these if I could
