Happy Birthday, SLANK !!!

SlankI wanna say happy birthday to one of my fave band
SLANK who celebrate it’s 24th birthday this month
Well my bday it self is Dec 24th :P

Konser mereka yang menakjubkan yang pernah aku lihat salah satunya adalah Rockstra November 2000 di JHCC, Jakarta. 3 band rock tampil dengan gubahan musik orkstra Erwin Gutawa. Dewa, GIGI dan Slank tampil dalam satu panggung.

Racikan rock baru berasa saat GIGI take on the stage … Dewa adem ayem ajah, cuman jejeritan para cewek yang mengiri penampilan mereka. Once yang baru gabung menggantikan Ari Lasso masih belum nge-tune total dan sering ga ngangkat vokalnya (iya lah dibandingkan vokal melengking Ari). Dan begitu Slank naik panggung, the night was totally changed. Saking noraknya waktu itu plus saking hebohnya Slank, saya sampe mo lompat dari area VIP (dont ever nonton rock di area VIP) down to festival area. Tapi apa daya keburu diamankan pertugas dan “ditunjukkan ke jalan yang benar” menuju depan panggung :P Hehehehehehe, malu seh … but who cares, nobody knows me … err ga juga sih. Ada rombongan keluarga Servia yg pro banget ma Dewa yg kenal baik ma saya :P tapi EGP lah

Travelling to KL

Posted on by

Well, I’m going to KL for short vacation :D
Me and Decy and some friends have made plan that this year we will backpacking outside Indonesia. And since about … err 3 months ago we’ve arranged everything. Plane ticket done, hotel voucher done … but from 5 people, only me and Decy will go travelling. Arrgghhhh the other 3 are just sux :P

3 months ago we decide to go to KL, because we’re boring with Singapore :P Ahahahahahahaha. Not really like that. It’s more because we had a cheap plane ticket fare to KL using Air Asia , and fortunatelly we also managed to book a hotel in Chinatown area. Hotels in Bukit Bintang area are fully booked. Pheww…

Well, packing is done but I need to recheck it again because this morning I thought I lost my wallet. I’m affraid it’s a bad sign … thank God I just forgot where to put it last night (after 1 hour stress looking for it all over the house :P)

I hope we will have nice weather there for taking pictures (plan to go to Malacca also)
And then not beathen up by those uneducated pasukan RELA for no reason. We’re tourists, not illegal immigrants :P

dah ah … :)

I got an additional lens for my Nikon D40x. It’s a Sigma AF 30mm f/1.4 EX HSM DC. This lens performance is great specially in low light.
