unforgettable moment...

I'm falling in love right from the first time i heard this music
there's a digeridoo..groove..funk..acid jazz..vintage jazz funk..even disco!
wow..that's something!
only one band can blend it into something really great music
and it's Jamiroquai...
from the first time I heard, It was on 1997..
the more I heard them, the more I fall deeply in love with them..

Jamiroquai, as in Jamming and Iroquai...with Jay Kay as their leader
they not just making some great music they also care for this earth
and their music not just about love...but also about all things that happened on this world..the war...the hunger over the world..political message..love for the human and earth..
I collected all their albums..from the first album till the latest.

And it's not easy to found a friend with same interest as me back in that day.
I have nobody to talked about this band..just kept it to myself,
until one day on 1999, Dolly Pasaribu, a new friend in college had not only same sure name with me, he also love Jamiroquai!
We like to listen to the music together in his car and discussed the latest news from the Jamiroquai's site..we both a huge fans of Jamiroquai.
I even always use "cosmic_girl" as my nick name on the internet, on my email too

And after 12 years of waiting, I heard Jamiroquai is coming to town!
I almost jumped from my chair and I booked the ticket right away..
I don't care how much it'll take to watch them live on stage!
I booked ticket for the show, I booked airline ticket and pack my things and go


It held on this new stadium Sentul City Convention Center on Jakarta, April 8th 09..
Fortunately I have my junior high's friend, Dita, watched the concert too..but she on F-class, I'm on D-class...well, dat's okay..as long as they don't cancel the concert because on day after the concert there's an election day..
But, thank God...the show still go on...


When I finally sat in the stadium, I still can't believe it...!
It's just a moment away I will watch him live on that stage!


And the time is come!
There he is...take my breath away...
the show opened with the song "For the kids", this is the list ;
1. For The Kids
2. High Times
3. 7 Days In Sunny June


4. Allright
5. Little L
6. Black Capricorn Day



7. Use The Force
8. Travelling Without Moving
9. Cosmic Girl
10. Space Cowboy
11. Canned Head
12. Love Foolosophy
13. Deeper Underground
(Too bad he didn't sang "Virtual Insanity"..)

It was quiet well at the beginning...but when they reach the 3rd song, people on the E and F-class get hectic and they trespassed the line and go to the front row!
Wow...what a crowd there...
well I'm not suprised because u know the ticket is not cheap for some people it's expensive especially for students..so I didn't blame them for trespassed the line..
and the crowd get more crazy when Jay Kay sang "Cosmic Girl"
Well, it's officially a theme song...=)
I saw the crowds go forward and it seems that Jay Kay like it that way...
he seems prefer a crazy crowd than a polite one ;)
because he said "that's more like it..!" to the crowd in front of the stage...
And when he finished "Love Foolosophy" they all go back stage and said "thank you"
What?? That's it??

Then the crowd yelled "we want more..we want more!!"
It's take 10 minutes more then they all come into the stage again and sing the last song "Deeper Underground"...then Jay Kay wrapped the show with said
"thank you, Jakarta..! See u on my new album next year!!"
And still it felt like a dream for me saw him live on stage...
I just can't get my eyes off him..watched Jay Kay dance
What a performance..and I just can't stop dancing too...didn't care about the people surround me...I just wanna dance away with Jamiroquai,
coz I thought.."well..I didn't come all away here for just stood and watch..I just wanna enjoy this concert, no matter how crazy I am for other...well I don't care..! I've been waiting for this for 12 years!"
If others still have a chance to take picture, well I didn't...
It's too precious for me to skip the moments
I only take a few video just because my friends, Dolly and Lia can't make it to the concert and they asked me to upload the video on the internet..
well there you go, guys..enjoy this =)
And for you, Jay Kay...I am sure we'll meet again, maybe on UK??

Cheers,

music speaks louder than words

kenapa ya,
lebih enak dan damai rasanya dengerin paduan suaranya anak2 dibandingkan dengan orang dewasa??

pagi ini waktu aku gereja di salah satu gereja daerah Cibubur
disana ada pujian choir yang anggotanya masih muda2 banget, tunas remaja gitu
lagunya sederhana dan ga se "marvelous" choir yang biasanya
tapi suaranya mereka masih jernih dan enak didenger
aku secara pribadi masih lebih memilih choir dengan anggota anak kecil

Entahlah tapi suaranya lebih terdengar nyaman ditelinga
aku sempat berfikir apakah nanti di surga seperti ini?
mendengarkan suara nyanyian paduan suara anak2...

Dan aku bertanya pada diri sendiri,
apakah mungkin karena anak2 masih bernyanyi dengan perasaan sukacita,
senang dan tulus?
tanpa ada paksaan atau untuk mendapatkan pujian dan sanjungan?
yah, walaupun setelah itu pasti keluarganya terutama orangtuanya akan bangga dan memuji-muji sang anak...
tapi, dengan kepolosan dan pamrih yang udah beda dengan orang dewasa mungkin juga menjadikan mereka bisa bernyanyi dengan seperti itu

Bukankah nyanyian yang merdu adalah nyanyian yang berasal dari dalam hati??

Cheers,

hooray...!!

duh, ga sabar deh rasanya nungguin jam 5
kenapa? karna hari jumat ini beda dengan hari jumat yang lain
bedanya? karna hari ini aku pulang!
ke medan..then besoknya berangkat ke jakarta
ketemu lagi dengan sanak keluarga...kakak dan abang2ku dan tentu saja dengan keponakan2ku yang sekarang pasti udah tambah gede semuanya...

DAAAANNNNNN....yang paling bikin aku excited adalah...
KonseRnya JAMIROQUAI tanggal 8 April 2009 ini di Sentul, Jakarta!
oh, my God...udah lama banget aku tunggu2 kesempatan ini dateng
bayangkaaaann...yang selama ini cuma bisa aku liat di tv dan dengerin suaranya doang akhirnya aku bisa liat live-performance nya dia,
emang sih beberapa tahun yang lalu dia udah sempat ada rencana manggung di Indonesia tapi karna yah...tau sendirilah negara kita ini penuh dengan ketidakpastian dan juga adaaaaa aja yang bikin nama Indonesia menjadi negara yang dinilai "tidak aman" untuk ngadain konser,
makanya ga pernah jadi
That's why konsernya aja namanya "yes it's true!"
seolah memastikan bahwa ini bukan mimpi...

I just can't wait...
aku udah sampe bela2in nitip tiketnya ke temen yang menghadiri Java Jazz
karna kalo beli tiketnya disana bisa diskon gede...
yah, walaupun setelah diskon teteuuuuppp aja mahalnya ampyun,

but I think it's worth it...
u worth that, Jay Kay!!

okay...
for all of u who will be there too... I see u there, then!
*humming jamiroquai songs..."dance..not enough for me to do but dance"..*

story back then

Sejak kemaren tiba-tiba pengen denger lagunya Mr.Big
Untung aja aku ada mp3 nya...
Terdengar kembali musik yang dulu begitu akrab di telingaku
petikan gitarnya Paul Gilbert yang membahana dan ampyun deh
bener2 bikin aku kagum lagi...
apalagi di Collorado Bulldog, Daddy-Brother-Lover and u'r Little Boy, Green Tinted and Sixties Mind, Addicted to That Rush...banyak lagi deh
Yang pasti Live at Budokan juga oke..ada Billy Sheehan.
Jadi inget, dulu jaman2 SMA suka banget Mr.Big
Trus jaman kuliah juga masih tetep suka dengerin lagu2nya
Jadi inget juga suka nongkrong2 di salah satu cafe di Medan
Mereka suka ada live music nya dan karna almost every day nongkrong disana yang ngeband (nama band nya Feeling Blue) ampe akrab ma kita.
Dan suka nyambung ngobrol soal musik sama mereka
Bahkan mereka mpe sekarang neh belom balikin kaset2 gw..hahahha
Kalo lu baca, balikin dong "The Black Crowes" gw..ga ada dipasaran lagi, tuh..=)
Dan sempat cin-lok sama salah satu gitarisnya..hahahaha
(Nama dirahasiakan, ada pada redaksi....)
Dan dia mainin lagu kesukaan gw itu "Green Tinted and Sixties Mind" buat gw...
Hohohohoho....serasa bangettt!!!
Inget itu bikin aku ketawa2 sendiri betapa naifnya...betapa noraknya...
Sekarang gw jadi kangen ma mereka2..soalnya pada seru2 kalau diajak ngobrol
Wah, udah pada berkeluarga kali, yaaa???
Nice to know u, guys..
