Welcome back to blogging world, my dear Self!

I was so inspired to blog a few minutes ago, but it seems like I've lost the urge to write something. Maybe because I have so many things in my mind and I want to write all at the same time. It's very frustrating to have something to write about but there's another thing comes up and that "very interesting" thing is about to be written is forgotten. Grrr!

So..maybe I should start with this day. Hmm...it started the day before actually. Or the day before yesterday?.. Maybe two days ago is a good start.
Ok. So there's this Indonesian Choir visiting AIU campus. For Sabbath service, the performed three wonderful songs. Their name is TOT Choir btw. We sat there and enjoyed their performance, even though it's technically not for us, it's praising God. But it was enjoyable. Like any other choir, the smallest soprano (physically)has the highest voice. Mostly. This choir too. It's really mind-blasting :D
As one of the Indonesians remained on campus, we took pictures with the choir. I got tired with taking pictures so we went out to eat in the green noddles place. We had great noddles, cha yen, and time and stop by Khun Malee vineyard. It seemed it's going to rain so we went back quickly, stopping by to take picture at the front gate. I didn't want to go home yet so we went to Deanna's place to watch "Joan of Arcadia". Later that afternoon, the choir had another performance but we didn't go. We got food from outside campus and played Wii instead. It was a fun night.

I was sneezing and feeling awful that I slept early..er that night, praying it's not H1N1 since I felt a little feverish. It continued untill the next day, I practically slept the whole day and watched a few episodes of "Beauty and Geek". That night (means last night..) the choir had another cultural performance so we went to see it. They performed dances from East Indonesia (actually, most of the dances they performed were from central Indonesia, not east Indonesia..but I think I was the only one cared about trivial thing). The first one came from my dad's homeprovince but I had no idea about it. I know the name but that's the only thing I remembered. The other dance was trivial to me. The LAST dance was something. It's from MY home province (my mom and dad came from different cultural background, island and region. So for Indonesian, I'm a little "third culture"). The music I was familiar with, the songs I could actually sing (I memorized the lyric when I was younger) and the dance I used to dance with my friends :YOSPAN. Yeeyyyyeeeeyyyyeeeyy!!!!


And we took picture with the dancer..

I just had a taste of home....

i do hope you're feeling better now...

it's always nice and strange to see part of your heritage which you are familiar with being performed in front of you... you feel like going up and shoving them aside, "pls okay pls..my turn to menari!" haha joking, but yeah.... glad you enjoyed their visit!
