Assalamu'alaikum.
You know, you always have to be patient with technology. Gosh, it's tiring...
Anyway, I was uploading another version Bengawan Solo that seemed like forever!! This one is from a CD, from Wani (thanks a lot!!!) the name; ANGKLUNG AND ORCHESTRA played by Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra and Hans and his Angklung Ensemble. So from the name I think the songs, which are Indonesian songs are played by Chinese!

So, Click Here!!!
Hope you guys'll enjoy the song and LEARN!!! Listen to the tempo and beat. From listening carefully I hope we can play better next time. No matter how different this version of Bengawan Solo or our version of the song, but at least we know where are the parts that we play. This and other songs that have been uploaded for you guys aren't just for FUN.

p/s: actually I can give you all the songs, but I think it's better for you all to find the CD at Jusco. That's where Wani found it. DO NOT SUPPORT PIRACY.
Besides, I can only upload up to 10 mb. I can upload more, but you know, money comes first ^_^

Ja! read more

To Farah and Azie, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO YOU, GIRLS!! I know, it's a bit late, but hey! At least you were celebrated by all =) *feeling jeles a bit*
Anyway, they were celebrated just now, after our practice on Bengawan Solo, Jalur Gemilang plus Pandang2 Jeling2.
Especially for the song Pandang2 Jeling2, actually I was surprised!! We did it well.
Well here doesn't mean perfect, but it's a hard song, and I think we played good because we had enough people to play the angklungs tonight. So keep up your good work!! And to all Angklungians, keep on coming to practice, keep on playing, and keep on smiling. I understand our songs are a bit tough, especially for the juniors and me, but "HARDWORK CAN PASS GENIUSES!!"- quote from Rock Lee in Naruto ^_^ (want to know who's Rock Lee and why he said that, watch Narutola, ayoyo!)

And this is an announcement.
If you want to download the two songs (Edelwiess and Bengawan Solo), don't go to ITD Lab, Library Lab or your department Computer Lab. This is because some of the PCs there won't allow any downloads and if they do allow, it's going to take more than an hour!! So go to CC. It'll cost you a bit, but it already cost me as twice as yours, haha!!
It'll only take at least 20-30 minutes maximum. And if that's your final resort, and it still troubles you, then I'll send the file to you all. I already checked and tried it myself, and I got no problem.

I'm already feeling sleepy, so bye!! Good night! Oyasumi nasai!! Wa'an.
Ilal liqa' ma'assalamah.
Assalamu'alaikum. read more

OK, now I'm feeling soooooooooo excited!!!!
I found this perfect choir voices of Bengawan Solo. At first I thought, 'nah, this wouldn't fit' because it was sang in group (I think it's a Singaporean choir group) but you know what, I WAS SOOOOO WRONG!!
Now I'm listening to it, it gives me a real goosebumps, meaning that this one is veryX10 great!!!
Now I'm telling ya, find a big headspeaker and listen!! It is sooo cool (oh my God, I never thought I would love this song this way)
Yup, Abang Najib was right. It's a good song.

Just click here!!!
to save: right click, and 'Save Target As' You can also do that to Edelwiess.

information:
Bengawan Solo is the name of the longest river at Java. Written in 1940 by Gesang Martohartono, it is a keroncong style song with Portuguese influence. This song is actually very popular in ASIA (can you believe that, how couldn't I know??!!).

lyric:

bengawan solo, riwayatmu ini
sedari dulu jadi perhatian insani
musim kemarau, tak seberapa airmu
di musim hujan air meluap* sampai jauh ...
--
mata airmu dari solo
terkurung gunung seribu
air mengalir sampai jauh
akhirnya ke laut ...
--
itu perahu, riwayatmu dulu
kaum pedagang s'lalu naik itu perahu

*in the choir you hear them say' mengalir' instead of 'meluap'. I think they also change some other word, which is (for me) isn't good 0_o
However, it's still beautiful =)

Enjoy!!


p/s:
Ok people, since I'm using this Library PC now I couldn't save the target (the mp3 file) because it doesn't allow me to do that. However, if all of you have problems to download just tell me, but I think you guys can always listen to it by just one click (and I don't understand the broken link thingy T_T).
And if you really want the song, email me at myunicorn_02@yahoo.com or kairan_85@yahoo.com and I'll send the file to you. So don't worry, be happy.

Thank you for your concern =)

Perfecto!! as what I expected, Wawachan already posted yesterday's event here.. It was fun and I just love yesterday's family day. Eventhough less than twenty angklungians attended it, but I saluted those who came and went back all wet after the Eplorace. Well, I was one of the committee (Prep and Tech) and I guess I'm still tired of going out the day before that I did not join any games but to be the committe who handle the games. The photos during Family day will be posted here soon..

Anyway, for this time, let's take a look at our potos during the Humanitarian Week performances taken by our friend, Myra. Thanks to her! Go check it our here..!! oppss..the image is kinda big, so be patient while it uploads.. hehe.. TTYL!
