Pendatang Baru di Blantika Musik Indonesia

Si Cemplon meninggalkan pesan, memberitahu bahwa ada yang lebih gila dari anggaran belanja 1 unit laptop seharga 35 JUTA RUPIAH.

Apakah itu?

Pengadaan alat musik sebesar 1 MILIAR RUPIAH!

Dan untuk siapakah alat-alat musik ini?
untuk disumbangkan ke band-band indie yang tidak mampu? atau untuk diletakkan di karang taruna atau pesantren? atau untuk dibawa ke disaster affected area like Aceh atau Padang? atauuu,.. ke under developed area kayak Irian?

No, bukan sodara-sodara.

Baca di sini, deh. Alat-alat musik itu untuk DINAS PEMADAM KEBAKARAN.

Omigod....
Masyaoloooo....

*kembali menghela nafas panjaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanggg dan mengelus-ngelus dada lagi*

Oh, mungkin ada yang belum jelas. Dinas pemadam kebakaran itu bukanlah nama band nasional dari Indonesia, tapi dinas pemadam kebakaran ada Firemen. Yap, those Indonesian firemen!

Sigh,...!

Pantes aja kebakaran bukan lagi kasus yang aneh di Indonesia. Contohnya pas di Surabaya, Pasar Turi nan megah itu kebakaran. Kayaknya si firemen itu menununggu sampek apinya fenomenal dulu, baru dateng. Padahal, sodara-sodara, letak kantor pemadam kebakaran tuh ngga sampek 500 M dari Pasar Turi.

Seorang teman yang punya toko di sebuah kawasan di Surabaya pernah bercerita pada Oma. Suatu hari, toko kelontong milik ayahnya terbakar (entah dibakar atau memang kecelakaan). Agak lama, baru datanglah tukang pemadam kebakaran. Dengan santai-santai dan lenggang kangkung, mereka menghampiri si ayah, sang pemilik toko, sambil berkata "kalau mau apinya dipadamkan, bayar 1 M, koh!" (kejadian ini terjadi di era 90-an)

wooott???

Si ayah bukanlah seorang yang bego. Dia menolak membayar 1 M untuk jasa memadamkan kebakaran. Dia membawa barang-barang yang penting, melangkah pergi dengan gagah dari tokonya, dan membiarkan tokonya terbakar.

No wonder, sekarang Oma baru tau. Mungkin si pemadam kebakaran suka telat dateng, karena ternyata oh ternyata, mereka hobi nge-band di post pemadam kebakarannya.

Petugas Pemadam Kebakaran 1 (PPK1): Guys, ini ada info kalo Pasar X di jalan Y terbakar lho!
PPK2: Ah, lu masih junior! Tunggu aja bentar lagi.
PPK3: Man, lu jangan ngobrol aja. Gimana nih ending lagunya? Ga enak banget tadi
PPK2: Iye, sorry man. Oke gue nyanyi reff nya lagi ya. "Dapatkah aku memeluknya, menjadikan bintang di surga...."
PPK4: Bentar-bentar, drum nya kurang enak! Ulang lagi sekali, man!
PPK1: *bingung*
PPK4: Eh, lu, junior! Loe katanya bisa nyanyi juga kan? Coba loe jadi backing vocal!

Mungkin kayak gitu kali ya keadaan di Dinas Pemadam Kebakaran.

Lagian, peralatan band lengkap emang harganya berapa? 1 M ya? Merk ngga tuh?

Ah, nanya ama temen Oma yang musicians aaah!!!

What would you do if you could live another life

What would you do if you could live another life just for one day? This line is quoted from "Last Chance Harvey" . I have watched this film twice and still feel so touched everytime I watch it. Kate Walker, the main character in this film, uttered this question to Harvey Shine. In this story, both of them lived a life that is not very happy-chappy. Kate lived in a pathetic, boring life; Harvey in a screwed one. When Kate asked this question, both of them seem to ponder: what if I could live a different life, just for one day, just to try out. This question makes me ponder, too: what would I do if I was given a chance to live any kind of life I want, just for one day? Where would I be? What would I do? Who would I be? Lately I have been thinking about the life I am living right now. Everything is so well-planned. I graduated from high school, went abroad to study, came back home to work, went abroad again to do my master, working in a reasonably good organisation, and going ho

Cold Feet

One of my closest friends is getting married tomorrow another one in May another one in November. and an ex-classmate is also getting married in April/May. and, I dreamed about getting married last night. I remember some months ago I was so enthusiastic with the idea of getting married. Although I knew that our relationship was not yet ready for that stage, I was so pushy to Stefy. I had asked him when exactly we would get married. Ah well, it was all the flashy things that I longed for. Right now, what I want is to avoid it! I am just not brave enough to throw myself into this new status. Don't get me wrong, I am probably just like any other girls out there who like the beautiful wedding gown, like to be made up, like to be the queen of the night. But, have you ever considered what would happen after you wave off the guests and head to your own home, starting your new chapter of life? or what would happen after the happy chappy honeymoon? Would we then live

WSAD? (What Should Ariel Do?)

As a communication expert, we always need to be prepared for crisis communication or disaster management. If a company suffered a bad publication, or when bad things happened, like with BP’s oil spill or Toyota’s cars, the communication people need to work very hard to communicate the right message (while some other people work on to make things right) and to win the public favour again. In theory, companies need to be prepared for crisis way in advance; however not many companies did that. I believe, Ariel had also never thought that such drama would happen, but yeah, here it is, and he has to face it! So, here is my humble opinion regarding what he needs to do to clear the air: Scenario 1: Launch a single/album Celebrities, especially musicians, usually would create a drama or scandal to increase their popularity in order to promote the next movie, single, or album that would be launched. What Ariel could do is to write a song (or an album) as soon as possible and launch it! And thee
