It was May 21st 2009. I went to Jakarta alone for watching Vidi Aldiano’s showcase in Kelapa Gading, Jakarta. I was not afraid to go to Jakarta alone because it had been my second time, after I went to Jakarta for watching Hady Mirza’s show.
I woke up at 4.30 am and then I took a bath, took a subuh prayer, and had breakfast. I departed to Jakarta at 6.00 am. I went there by bus. 3 hours journey, finally I arrived in Kampung Rambutan Terminal safely. Next, I went to Kelapa Gading Mall by TransJakarta Bus or busway. You just need to pay 3500 rupiahs to go around Jakarta. From Kampung Rambutan halte, busway took me to Kampung Melayu. And then I moved to the next bus which took me to Senen Halte. At Senen Halte, I moved to another bus that took me to Pulo Gadung. I didn’t stop at Pulo Gadung Halte, but I stopped at Pulo Mas Halte. At Pulo Mas Halte, I asked to the officer there, “Could you tell me how I can go to La Piazza Kelapa Gading Mall?”. And the officer answered, “Yes. You can go there by public transport no. 44.” I thanked to the officer and based on the officer instruction, I took the public transport no. 44. And thanks God! I arrived at La Piazza Kelapa Gading Mall safely.
Actually I arrived at Kelapa Gading Mall too early. The show was begun at 12.00 pm, meanwhile I had been there at 10.00 am. So I decided to go to ‘Disc Tarra’. I bought a copy of ‘Pelangi di Malam Hari”. I wanted my CD would be signed by Vidi. After that, I walked to La Piazza. I had seen a stage, some tables and chairs. I sat on a chair beside the stage. I took a rest for awhile. I thought, I would feel bored If I waited Vidi there. So I decided to go to other places. Not far from the chair that I was sitting down, Vidi Aldiano came with his mom, his manager and 2 person who wore Vidies T-shirt. It was unbelieveable moment. I went closer to Vidi. And then I introduced myself to him. We shaked our hand and he was smiling to me. What a beutiful smile! I love his smile so much! Vidi had to go to stage area. Not long after that, Vidi came out from the stage area and he went to Pizza Hut near the stage.
I remembered that I brought something for Vidi. So I must give it to him. The only way to give the gift was going to Pizza Hut. So I went there although I felt so nervous. In there, Vidi was eating spicy wings. I came to him and said, “Vidi, this is a gift from me and my friend in Cianjur.” Vidi said, “Oh... Thank you so much! But, my hand is oily. How can I grab your gift?” Vidi showed his oily hands. “Oh, it’s okay I can put it here.” I answered and put the gift on the table. And then Vidi asked me, “What is that?”. I answered, “It’s a T-shirt that full of messages for you from my friends and me.” Aunty Besba, Vidi’s mom thanked to me and she offered me to eat with them that time. But I declined the offering. After we chatted, I went back to the stage. Outside the Pizza Hut, I met others Vidies (Vidi Aldiano’s fansclub name) such as, Fika, Dinar, Dje, Nuniq, Clara, Via, Riekhe, Estrin, Tasya, Tania, Dita and Nanako.
Finally, Vidi performed. He performed at 2 pm. I was standing at the first line of spectators. Vidi sang ‘Status Palsu’, ‘Cinta Jangan Kau Pergi’, ‘Cintaku’ and ‘Nuansa Bening’. After Vidi finished his performance, I met aunty Besba and took picture with her. Stupid me! When I was with Vidi, I didn’t take my picture with him! I was so blue to myself. How could I forget? Vidi went home, so did I. But I didn’t go to Cianjur. I went to my father’s boarding house in Pasar Minggu, Jakarta. And my experience meeting Vidi for first time finished.
This is it! The experience that I never forget in my life. What an awesome day! I could chat and watch Vidi’s performance live. For the next day, I won’t miss the chance to took picture with him.

MY ELDEST BROTHER’S PERSONALITY
My eldest brother Karl is an active person. He is a student at Universitas Katolik Parahyangan (UPAR) majoring in International Relation and he is in his 5 semester now.
Even though he lives opposite his campus but he leaves for the campus at 7am straight to the library to read books. While waiting for the time his classes start. After classes he then go straight to the library again or to the field for his soccer training’s, he has classes 5 days a week from Monday to Friday his classes is mostly at 10am. He attends class everyday if the lecturer is not in he keeps him self busy by studying.
During weekends on Saturday he plays rugby union at Jakarta and on Sunday after church he goes straight to the field to play soccer. Although his spends weekends at the field he is very concerned with his studies so he covers up the time he spends on weekends by staying up at night to study and do his assignments. He makes sure his assignments are handed in on time.
The time he goes to sleep is when he is satisfied with his work and knows for sure that he will get good marks or result for what he has done.
He dose all this because he says “it’s part of life” if you want to be a successful person in life, you have to work hard and face all challenges in life cause it worth a million, and also he have to prove to the Indonesian Government that the scholarship given to him was not wasted and will complete his studies in the given length of time.
My Hobby
My favorite hobby is playing Rugby Union. It is a kind of sport mainly played in countries such as Australia, Britain, New Zealand, Pacific Island, and South Africa. It is a game consisting of either 7, 10, or 15 players. Depending on the officials calls or decisions.
Even though most people think that rugby is a rough and dangerous game but to me it is fun. I started playing rugby union this year for the Bali Barbarian girl’s term. We train 3 time’s a week at Jatinangor and play on weekends at Jakarta. I play as a winger and a jumper. The best thing I like the most in this sport is tackling, ticking and running. Apart from this rugby union makes me relax and have lots of fun especially when meeting new players from different countries and back grounds. But some times me feel aches on my body when I play so rough.
I prefer rugby union as my favorite sports because it is a term work if we play as a term and stay as a term we would win the matches, but some times time’s are not that way because we all have differences and can’t cop with one’s decision but thank God we have our own ways to solve problems we face. Rugby field is the own place I’ll be at on free times and holidays.
The Best Day
The best day that I really liked and enjoyed was 14 of Novermber 2009. Not like another Staurdays which I wake up late. Today I woke up at 4 am then started the day with a prayer, and after that I check my emails and carried on with facebook until 6am. I was so happy because the BB club had a meeting and we would be learning how to cook food from different countries.
At around 6.30 my sister’s and I went to the Gerlong to buy the things need for our cooking, then went back home and started preparing the food, then went over to my Thailand friends house to cook there. It was really nice event we learnt alot about the cooking from other countries.
After that I went to Jatinangor for my rugby training from 4pm-6pm. Since I didn’t train for almost 2 months. I felt so tired, but it was fun that I played and played until satisfied, and after the training there was a hand over- take over party for the captains because the old captain was going back to Papua New Guinea, but I didn’t attend the party because I have to go to Bogor , so I left after the training, and went to Bogor because it was my cousin in Bogor’s birthday. We had a really good time celebrating there.
It was a really busy day, but I enjoyed it becasue I kept myself busy instead of sleeping and relazing around in my home stay.
