learn about my country #1

hey, i am back again. hope u wont bored with me. :D

I think my blog has became worldwide. so i think i am gonna post something about my country. Indonesia.


in this post, i will not talking about histories, heroic stories from my country (i think that's quite boring for a teenager blog ;). but i'll tell you,
how do we communicate.

Maybe, u got a little curiousity when im talking with my friends on my twitter ( http://twitter.com/justcantika ) or Facebook account. (http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/cantika.prasetyo?ref=profile)


now, i will answer all your curiousities :) it's not too difficult, trust me ^^

dont worry about the pronounciations. Just try to say it. :)

first to learn: greetings

how are you? ,how is your day?, how is it going? : apa kabar mu? / apa kabar?
i am fine : saya baik-baik saja

good morning : selamat pagi
good afternoon : selamat siang
good evening : selamat sore
good night : selamat malam

thank you : terima kasih
your welcome : sama-sama / kembali

what is your name? : siapa nama kamu?
my name is... : nama saya adalah



well, i think it's enough for beginners. i'll post the other later.

happy learning, friends!

violin and me


well,its been a very long time, i haven't written on my precious blog.
its almost a year [wow] after my last post. know,i just realized, how long i've been leaving this blog.

here, i want to put my precious stuffs in my precious blog ;]
frist, u have to know, i am a violinist. i played some songs pretty well, but my favorite is "Canon In D". violin isnt my first musical instrument. i've played organ before i learnt violin.

you really need to know, i am not good at playing organ.
i couldnt read the note as fast as i read the violin partitures. pretty weird,i know.

well,its not yhe main reason, why i hate learning about organ. the main reason is: i have a fierce teacher. [not that creepy,but, i didnt feel comfort at all..]. fortunately, my school has a violin course. then,i tried that. and violin was so cool for me.
i found a unique difference that an organ never has. i dont know exactly,but i feel "connected"
with that strings instrument.

my parents bought me my first violin, and i named it 'kay'. you may think i'm weird or else, but, giving a name to our musical instrument will make us more closer with it.
thats my belief. ^^

almost 5 years have passed. and i still in love with my 'kay'
although i have some accidents while i performing with it, those accident teached me thing:
never give up,although you have a really embarassing accident, believe, someday, that acccident will lead you to the first place.

and it happened. (although i am not the best,but its nice to be he one of the special group ;)





smile all the time,
