24th december 2008; tessa picked me up at 12, and we went to Tom's(she was searching for a sustain pedal for her keyboard and a violin pickup-a little microphone for the violin). unfortunately they don't have the pickup, so we bought the pedal only. then we went to matahari dps to search for a santa claus's hat-i have one,but she lost hers..the both of us were going to wear it that night during the Christmas eve's mass at kampial(Gereja Maria Bunda Segala Bangsa-Nusa Dua).. we played the violin, with kak kiky and 2 other keyboards, and ruli handling the 'ketipung',drums, and cymbals..oh, not to forget the choir.. we didn't find the hat at matahari. so, we went for lunch, and then to a small music store to buy the pickup. they have it! and to my surprise the price was exactly the same as when i bought it half a year ago. then we went to carefour,still searching for the hat, they don't have it..we went to bali bakery as tessa's mom asked her to buy some french bread for tonight's dinner. we're having turkey!!!yummy! it was very crowded at bali bakery, we managed to buy all the stocks of the french bread. lucky us...bad luck for the next customer! sorry! after that, we went to pepito to get the turkey..tessa's mom ordered it 2 weeks ago..the turkey was quite big, 4 kilograms...we were planning to go to ace hardware for the hat, but then i remeberes the other day when sister hilda came from a trip, she was holding a santa's hat..so i sms her,wondering if i could borrow her hat..she immediately answered,"yes dear!"...yay!!! we went back to tess's house, took a shower, and had dinner...wow,for the first time i realized that a-4 kilos-turkey=hard work eating it. there were 7 people, and we managed to eat a quarter of the turkey...after dinner, me and tess went to the church to prepare for the mass.. actually we were a bit late, but who cares? no one wants to miss the turkey...the mass was fabulous, and i think we all did a fantastic job. another prove that 'ancient' church's song could be easily transformed into an orchestra-type-of-song...the songs were majestic and great!!! after the mass-it finished at 11, we went home-to tessa's house i mean..i'm having a sleepover at hers for the first time. her mom kinda forced us to have another bite of the turkey.she succeeded...but i couldn't finish my portion, it was just too much..we watched the movie called nim's island until 2 in the moring and then went to bed..
25th december 2008: Christmas!!! i woke up at 8. for breakfast we had 'nasi bali'. you know what, the only not so good thing at tessa's house is: there's always too much food and snacks... but i really love the lemon squash...we watched 'the american crime'. a good but very very sad movie...the girl, named sylvia, died after a month being tortured by a woman and her kids without her parents knowing it... later, we went to discovery mall, only to find the place stinks badly-due to the dead fish at kuta beach..i went home after that
26th december 2008: my mom, my brother, and i followed the x'mas for children at st.fx church. all the kids brought presents for the poor kids in Donggo, and in return they received some snacks from santa. oh, the choir was the sekami kids...they were quite good..oh, and the church was great!!! two big x'mas tree, 2 'palungan' with the baby jesus and maria and joseph...it was really really fabulous!

Friday afternoon
last period at school. i have IT, usually we have it in class:theory. luckily, the regular classes are having their final exam, so the computer lab is free. next week, i'm going to have my semester exam.oh my god! i'm so not reay for exams. i really want to pass this week quickly. today, i'm supposed to skip school to play in a wedding ceremony at St.FX. the bride is the son/daughter of a big boss in timor leste. his friend is the ambassador of TImor Leste in Indonesia. The wedding is being postponed, he said he still have something more important to do. i was really hoping i could skip school...bad luck.
tomorrow, i have to play for a wedding at 11 am. no offense, but i don't really enjoy playing with Angel's Voice Singers. only because all of the members sing pop songs only, they cant read musical notes, and the 'leader' is just so unorganized...sorry to say that, but i'm just not used to working with messy people. good for me, tessa is going to play with me. so at least i have someone that i could talk to.

Free time
Hello again! i just finished my IT practical test. it was easy and boring (as usual). what was i talking about? o ya, right. this week i'm so busy. on friday, 28 nov, i have to play in a wedding in St.FX so i won't be going to school! Saturday, 29 nov, i have another wedding to play with Angel's Voice Singers in St. FX also. i had a fever last thursday. it was children's day, and the teachers were giving us a great performance, a drama and they sang the 'wonderworld'. well, only mr ben was singing and playing the guitar. after the first recess, i felt terrible. hot and cold at the same time. yep, i was having a fever. i was sleeping for the next 2 lessons; english and bio. ms jewel, my english teacher, was very nice to me. she told me to go home, but i told her that i have to wait for my brother. she then suggested me to take a cab, and she would pay for it. not that, money is the problem. i just can't imagine being in a cab with the driver who is a stranger, and at the time i was dizzy and my brain couldn't work well. so, no way...i refused her offer. still, she was being very very nice..no sorry, not was. she's still nice to me..hehehe
IT practical test
Hi! It just happens that whenever I open my blog, it's mostly on Tuesday. So, my news will be roughly about school. Ms mariza just replied my email, she said she's still in jakarta, teaching in Binus. In the next 20 minutes, I'll be doing my IT Practical Test... it's about Powerpoint...using master slide..bla..bla..bla...so boring..last night, it was raining very heavily and this morning as well. I love the rain. it's a bit cold and windy, but that doesn't matter to me. I'm glad I don't have the fever and sore throat anymore..Sister hilda's healing hands healed me completely last sunday, just after we sang in a wedding ceremony in St.FX...It was very enjoyable. It was also the first time, Tesa joined us. She played the violin with me. Gilang just showed me a crazy and cool website..sorry, have to go..I'll write more later..
