Psychology of Music

Music, Mice and Madness
A student named David Merrill devised an experiment to discover how music would affect the ability of mice to learn new things. Merrill had one group of mice listen to classical music 24 hours a day and another to heavy metal music. He then timed the mice as they ran through mazes to see if the music affected their speed of learning. Unfortunately, he had to cut the first experiment short because the heavy metal mice all killed one another. In a second experiment, mice that listened to Mozart for 10 hours a day dramatically improved their maze-solving abilities, while the heavy metal mice actually became worse at solving mazes than they had been at the beginning of the experiment.

Music, Intelligence and Learning
According to the Association for Psychological Science, intelligence test scores grew higher in children who took lessons in keyboarding or singing. In another study, boys between the ages of 6 and 15 who took music lessons scored higher on tests of verbal memory than a control group of students without musical training.

Music and Pain Reduction
Researchers found that patients who listened to harp, piano, synthesizer, orchestra or slow jazz experienced less post-surgical pain than those who did not.

Music and Suicide
On a stranger note, sociology professor James Gundlach found higher rates of suicide among those who listen to country music. However, Gundlach notes that the suicide link occurred only with older country music, which he believes is not as upbeat as today’s.

Music and Plant Health
Experiments conducted by Dorothy Retallack to learn about music's effects on plants are described in her 1973 book The Sound of Music and Plants. Retallack played rock music (Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and Vanilla Fudge) for one group of plants and jazz for another. When two weeks had passed, the jazz plants were healthy and bent toward the radio. The rock music plants grew very tall and droopy, with faded blooms, and most had died within 16 days.

about TUCK and Patti

"The balance of the personal and the universal is always in music, just like the balance between human and divine love," (Tuck Andress)

"It doesn't hurt to have Patti singing, either," Tuck adds. "It's fun to mute the guitar on playback and realize that she doesn't really need any accompaniment anyway, she's already swinging like a whole big band."

Tuck provided a sparkling accompaniment, explains Patti, "like little prayers, little galaxies. It's beautiful music, beautiful guitar. One of Tuck's great strengths is that he sees all the harmonic options. It's magic to me that, out of all the possibilities, he chose the perfect ones."

Tuck adds, "People are always asking, how does your relationship, your marriage, play into your music? With songs like these you can't help but reflect on the personal, even though these are universal songs. You are performing the song, you are lost in the music, and the song has its own life. But still, we've had this extremely intense relationship with each other for over half our lives. So we can't help but put ourselves in there. How can it be possible for a casual word or glance from your partner still to take your breath away after all that time? In exactly 140 words this song completely describes the miraculous daily fabric of our personal relationship, something I've been trying to grasp and articulate to myself for decades. It is amazing what a song can do."

"There a reason why these songs are called standards," says Patti. "They are gorgeous tunes, with perfect lyrics, and they speak unabashedly about love. They'll never stop being relevant.

everybody knows a singer needs a companion from any instrument, i don't see what's so wrong with what i'm doing..the love of music, the love of God, and the love of human beings explode much way too BIGGer than just people's opinion or the culture
that bounds over hundreds of years..
aghz people..get a life!

IvanKa Trump vs Paris HilTon

totally ivanka!!
not until i saw oprah today, i knew ivanka trump
totally rocks, i think

well, trump and hilton
both are blond, sexy, and rich, what any men or even women could wish for
but what i put my 4 thumbs up is because
ivanka says their parents taught her that she is only lucky for using their's properties
if she wants those things, she has to fight herself. she said she bought her house from her dad
she's got a look and she's also got her brain. oprah said she was 15 when she was once invited to oprah (she's now 25) but since that moment, oprah could say that she went to one of the best school and she was very smart.
ivanka said that she works 13hours a day to make a living. wow

meanwhile, hilton, i guess i don't have to say anything more about her
you all have already known the reason behind her fame (or you may never realise it till now)

well hey then again..
blond is not always stupid!
when someone got a look, it doesn't always mean that she doesn't got a brain to think
ya ya yayyy!!

TaLk and TalK

well, what should i say?
i love talking..yeah..
but hey, i learn a new thing..
one said that since i've been given 2 ears and 1 mouth,
i should listen twice as much as i spoke
well i still learn to guard and control everything i say

sometimes, there are things that should not be spoken anyway
i learned to be more quiet, anyway hehe

well hey
do you not know that the Lord says that you will be judge for every word you speak

so people
mind your talk

~whoever gueards mouth and tongue, keep his soul from trouble~

Genuine interest in seeing into a person's soul is more seductive than the sexiest look-ever!

SINGING is not just a profession
for me, it is a compulsion [a strong desire,usu.an unreasonable one, that is difficult to control Longman Dict.] - a calling!

2008-02-15T22:09:00.001+07:00

Georgia O'Keefe once observed
"Singing has always seemed to me the most perfect means of expression. It is so spontaneous..."

"All I want to do ... is sing and travel around with my music" (Eva Cassidy)

if only there were words to express how i love jazz
it's more than i could ever said
there are no words to describe it
no..
even A from Z are not enuff

when i have jazz-
it feels like the whole world is mine
it feels like i'm hugging the whole world!

2008-02-10T16:59:00.000+07:00

for now,
love is not about you and I anymore
for now,
i understand when they say that love is not selfish
for what i have with you,
is something
something
that come from heaven

and im ready to dig it with you
and with PAPA

coz i know
whatsoever come into our path
i will still be loving You, PAPA

coz i know
everything i got now..
is YOU
and i'll do it all for YOU
just for YOU

2008-02-08T13:49:00.000+07:00

i don't recall how or when i actually met you
i just knew somehow, somewhere
i have to follow my intuition...

coz somehow somewhere
with you...
it just feels Right to do 'Wrong'

yeah, it does, baby, it does-

Sade - Kiss Of Life

There must have been an angel by my side
Something heavenly led me to you
Look at the sky
It's the color of love

There must have been an angel by my side
Something heavenly came down from above
He led me to you
He led me to you
He built a bridge to your heart
All the way
How many tons of love inside
I can't say

When I was led to you
I knew you were the one for me
I swear the whole world could feel my heartbeat
When I lay eyes on you
Ay ay ay
You wrapped me up in
The color of love

You gave me the kiss of life
Kiss of Life
You gave me the kiss that's like
The kiss of life

Wasn't it clear from the start
Look the sky is full of love
Yeah the sky is full of love
He built a bridge to your heart
All the way
How many tons of love inside
I can't say

You gave me the kiss of life
Kiss of Life
You gave me the kiss that's like
The kiss of life

You gave me the kiss of life
Kiss of Life
You gave me the kiss that's like
The kiss of life

What Sushi Are You?!

sushi menggambarkan sisi wanita yang dibuat dengan cara lebih khusus, hingga ia memiliki banyak kelebihan

alasan pria membandingkan pria dengan sushi bukan karena wanita sering menjadi pihak yang dimakan (makan hati) tapi karena wanita adalah kebutuhan pokok semua orang.
selain itu sushi juga harus diperlakukan dengan hati2 agar tidak rusak
rasa sushi yang bermacam2 yang paling menggambarkan tipe2 wanita

1. sashimi sushi
tipe paling standard,tidak macem2 lugu dan mudah dimengerti
wanita jenis lembut namun membosankan
mudah diterima,namun tidak istimewa
untuk urusan cinta, tipe ini paling mudah diambil hatinya, mudah diatur, tidak merepotkan

2. sushi roll
seperti namanya, wanita tipe ini penuh kejutan dan tidak membosankan, tampilan luardansifat dalamnya bisa sangat berbeda dari yang dibayangkan. tapi,itulah justru yg menjadi tantangan bagi pria untuk mengenalnya
sushi type ini pun punya banyak pilihan, baik yang tidak terlalu rumit, namun nikmat luar biasa ataupun yang penuh pernik dengan rasa yang istimewa
ada juga yang rasanya aneh bagi sebagian orang, namun nikmat bagi yang lain
ada yang matang,mentah,crunchy dan ada yang empuk dan lembut dengan siraman mayonese.

dynamite sushi : dianggap sushi yng paling menantang seru saat pertama dirasakan tapi kalo kebanyakan malah membuat perut tidak enak
wanita yang menantang juga seperti itu, seksi dan membuat penasaran bila baru dikenal namun bila diajak menjalin hub bisa bikin pusing dan stress

california sushi : dianggap paling aman. disukai semua org, isinya cukup komplit, tidak membosankan, harga tidak terlalu mahal. artinya, wanita yang paling disukai adalah wanita yang mudah bergaul, tidak membosankan, cukup pintar an memiliki kelebihan namun juga tida suka bertingkah aneh2 haha

3. sushi temaki (handroll)
memakan sushi yang satu ini paling sulit dan pasti berantaka maka itu perlu kesabarankarena bentuknya yang paling besar jadi isinya paling komplit
yang pasti..rasanya enak
sushi tipe ini menggambarkan wanita ideal yang komplit walaupun sulit 'dipegang'
ti[pe wanita yang satu ini perlu diberi kesabaran dan perlakuan khusus.
makannya pria yang tidak cukup niat bisa jadi cenderung mengurungkan
niatnya untuk mendapatkan wanita jenis ini.
tapi juga sebaliknya, bila sudah mendapatkan yang cocok, pria tidak akan
mencari yang lain, karena tipe wanita seperti ini
sudah memenuhi segala kebutuhannya

Cinta Kan Membawamu Kembali
"Terbaik Terbaik"

Tiba saat mengerti, jerit suara hati
Letih meski mencoba
Melabuhkan rasa yang ada

Mohon tinggal sejenak, lupakanlah waktu
Temani air mataku, teteskan lara
Merajut asa, menjalin mimpi, endapkan sepi-sepi

Reff:
Cinta 'kan membawamu
kembali disini, menuai rindu
Membasuh perih
Bawa serta dirimu, dirimu yang dulu
Mencintaiku apa adanya

Saat dusta mengalir, jujurkanlah hati
Genangkan batin jiwamu, genangkan cinta
Seperti dulu, saat bersama, tak ada keraguan

2007-12-16T18:26:00.000+07:00

Terang saja aku menantinya

All i am

Who do you think you see
When you look at me
Is it somebody strong
Somebody you could admire

And who do you think I am
When I take your hand
Are you counting on me
To fill your dreams
and your desires

Chorus
Well all I am
Is lonely just like you
All I wanna do
Is have one dream come true
All I am is handing you my heart
And hoping to be part of you

Who do you think you are
Standing in the dark
Are you waiting for me
Why can't I reach you from here

And how do I get to you
Won't you let me through
Don't you think maybe we
Have something
special to be shared

2007-11-08T21:18:00.000+07:00

You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night

you're still the one (Shania Twain)

some things are better left unsaid
some things will never ever be changed,
they just stay there and remain forever...
some things will never ever be forgotten
and they can never be replaced by anything! anything!

Bukan hanya sekedar penghibur
Diriku ini sayang
Bukan pula sekedar pelepas

Kau datang dan pergi
Sesuka hatimu
Oh... kejamnya dikau
Teganya dikau padaku

Kau pergi dan datang
Sesuka hatimu
Oh... sakitnya hati
Bencinya hati padamu

... I was only meant to teach the broken wings to fly

Till you found somebody who means much more to you than me
Then the tenderness we knew will be just a memory

You only needed someone to guide you through the storm
Now you're safe upon the shoulder you don't need me anymore

And so I'm walking out the door you don't need me anymore

(you don't need me anymore-Eddy Arnold)

Bila nanti
Aku pergi
Takkan ada
Cerita kita lagi

Kita pisah
balik lagi
Pisah lagi

Apa kau mengerti
Kalau ini bukanlah
bukan permainan

Kau tak bisa
buat ku menangis lagi
Kau tak bisa
Buatku bersedih lagi

Tanpa aku
Kau akan baik saja
Tanpa kamu
Ku akan baik saja

Bila nanti
Kau sendiri
Jangan ingat-ingat aku lagi

Ordinary People

[Verse 1]
Boy im in love with you
This ain't the honeymoon
Past the infatuation phase
Right in the thick of love
At times we get sick of love
It seems like we argue everyday

[Bridge]
I know i misbehaved
And you made your mistakes
And we both got room left to grow
And though love sometimes hurts
I still put you first
And we'll make this thing work
But I think we should take it slow

[Chorus]
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow

[Verse 2]
This ain't a movie no
No fairy tale conclusion ya'll
It gets more confusing everyday
Sometimes it's heaven sent
We head back to hell again
We kiss and we make up on the way

[Bridge]
I hang up you call
We rise and we fall
And we feel just like walking away
But as our love advances
We take second chances
Though it's not a fantasy
I Still want you to stay

[Chorus]
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow

[Verse 3]
Take it slow
Maybe we'll live and learn
Maybe we'll crash and burn
Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll leave,
maybe you'll return
Maybe you'll never find
Maybe we won't survive
But maybe we'll grow
You never know baby you and I

[Chorus]

2007-10-11T20:15:00.001+07:00

everybody just needs a distraction everytime they got depressed
what's yours?
some people become a train smoker, some people just lose their appetites
(well, wishing it was me)
while for me, i'm eating like a pig
Christ! it's just-i eat and eat...
i just don't realize when now..i feel it's so not me!
my butt's getting bigger, my tummy..my back..all over my body
Christ i have fat all over my body..it just won't go away
and i still HATE to go on a diet
and i still HATE going to the gym
and i still HATE my fatty look
and i still HATE looking those slim girls showing their skinny look
and i still HATE being me today!
and i want my LOOK back!

there are times when you feel uncomfortable with your look
you feel uncomfortable to wear your jeans and T-shirts
there are times when you cannot wear your old mini skirt!or the new red hot pants!
there are times when you want to wake up and be SLIM!

HATE IT
HATE IT
HATE IT!

2007-10-08T19:28:00.000+07:00

do i love you? do i?

for all seem to be in a hurry and i wasn't ready for it

do i love you? do i?

for it isn't easy saying goodbye

do i love you? do i?

for i miss every single moment we do together

do i love you? do i?

for i hate there will never be the days of wine and roses and you

do i love you? do i?

for there will never be any 'don't get around much anymore' in piano
but it is the song itself we play it in life-

Which Harry Potter Character Are You?

You are part Dumbledore. You're the wise sage in any group. With your guidance, any situation can be resolved in the fairest way possible.

You are part Hermione. You're a bookworm always in search of answers. When pressed, however, you can always be counted on to put away the books and help your friends.

Which Pixar Character Are You?

You are part Woody. You've got an overall well-rounded character, but your insecurity sticks out like a sore thumb. If you ever want to recapture your past stardom, you're going to have to accept that the game has changed and you'll need some help.

You are part Lightning McQueen. Your Hollywood look sends the papparazzi into a tizzy every time you step out of your house... And that is even before your Hollywood debut. We'll let your imagination take over from here, but be careful of destiny interfering in your stardom. If luck is on your side, you're a star in the making.

What Kind of Drink Are You?

You are a Cosmopolitan. You are quiet and content. You don't stand out too much, but you don't mind and don't care what people think of you. You don't need everything to be perfect, as long as you get what matters. Sure, you may be 'girly' and you may not be the smartest, craziest or most refined, but you really like yourself, and that's fine by you.

and so the quizes continue...

What Car Would You Be?

You would be part Mini Cooper. Everywhere you go, you turn heads with your charm and charisma. You're no deep thinker, but taking life seriously can be such a drag!

You would be part Ferrari Enzo. You are quick, slick and ever-so-cool. Your ostentatious showiness may put some people off, but your friends know you're the real deal.

2007-10-05T12:21:00.001+07:00

Which Disney Princess are you?

You are part Belle. You are strong, deep, and you are not a slave to petty superficial things. You are independent and allow yourself to see inner beauty without sacrificing your values. You are almost too good of a person.

You are part Cinderella. You are hard-working and never complain, however, your trust is sometimes misplaced and people sometimes take advantage of you. Still, you are beautiful inside and out, and one day you will realize it and find true love

What Kind of Guy Will You Fall For?

You would fall for the gentleman. Keep an eye out for your love at your next formal or field trip to the opera. Watch out for bad boys who walk on the inside of the curb and don't hold the door for you, and you'll end up with the guy who's suave, sophisticated, and classy through-and-through.

Which Female Action Hero Are You?

You are Princess Leia. You are down-to-earth and stick to a rigid sense of ethics. Nerds may lust over you, but everyone looks to you for your grounded logic and intellect.

What City Should You Live In?

You should live in Paris. The city of lights will appeal to your appreciation of beauty and romance. You are a lover and a poet by nature, and Paris' sensitive charms will be a perfect match for yours.

What Type of Movie Would Your Life Be?

Your life would be a Drama. You're rich in feeling and emotion. You constantly play life out in your mind, imagining the "ifs, ands, or buts." You constantly feel like the world is your audience, which might inevitably affect your sanity! While your passion is endearing, the over-dramatics may grow a bit too intense after a while.

so i read meta's blog and i found it interesting
so i took the quizes and these are the results
hey it's fun!!! ^________________________^

Chance or Choice

When we meet the right person to love
when we're at the right place at the
right time, that's chance.

When you meet someone you're attracted
to, that's not a choice. That's chance.

Being caught up in a moment (and there's
a lot of couples who get together
because of this) is not a choice. That's
also a chance.

The difference is what happens
afterwards. When will you take that
infatuation, that crush, that
mind-blowing attraction to the next level?
That's when all sanity goes back, you
sit down and contemplate whether you
want to make this into a concrete
relationship or just a fling.

If you decide to love a person, even
with his faults, that's not a chance.
That's choice.

When you choose to be with a person, no
matter what, that's choice. Even if you
know there are many people out there who
are more attractive, smarter, and richer
than your mate, and yet, you decide to
love your mate just the same, that's
choice.

Infatuation, crushes, attraction comes
to us by chance. But true love that
lasts is truly a choice. A choice that
we make.

Regarding soulmates, there's a beautiful
movie quote
that I believe is so true about this: "
Fate brings you together, but it's still
up to you to make it happen."

I do believe that soulmates do exist.
That there is
truly someone made for you. But it's
still up to you to make the choice if
you're going to do something about it or
not.

We may meet our soulmates by chance, but
loving and staying with our soulmate is
still a choice we have to make.

"your music means nothing if you don't have God in your heart,
your cleverness means nothing if you don't have God in your heart"

it is such a WOW when i heard this from the Worship Leader, miss Judith, this morning at the church.
and i guess this statement is truly right.
so what's next if you can reach your dream to the top?
you have all that world can give you- wealth and fame
so what's good is that for if you can't really share them all with people you love?
all means nothing, nothing, and NOTHING

they are all just to make yourself proud of yourself- then what's next?what of it?
you are what you are now, it is only because of the grace of GOD,
not because how strong, how clever, or how famous you are!

c'mon people! wake up and see the world on its depth, not just on the surface
Give thanks always-
Jesus bless you

life is a work of art
choose the medium
and put some colours in it
RED, GREEN, PINK, BLUE, YELLOW
just mix it!
and see how great you are in combining the colours

2007-08-06T14:26:00.000+07:00

once
life-is a a game
sit back, relax, enjoy, be lame
no consequences, no rules, no aim

now...
life-is a work of art
canvas, paint, brush, loads of cart
push myself to dart

then
life-is a crown
put myself in a sexy black gown
have a duet with bobby brown

midnite,
the clock starts to click to 12
my eyes are ready to close
the eyelids are so heavy
but my heart and my ears are enjoying jazz too much
listening to my ipod
reading 'the world of jazz' book
just make my time fly away
boy, it does fly away...

2007-07-30T12:28:00.000+07:00

some people say that you do CRAZY things when you're in love
that you might not realize how CRAZY it is for you
and there you are, CRAZY of falling in love

Makes Me Wonder

Hmm..what a title! I love maroon's 5 song entitled makes me wonder
...and it surely pops up in mind when i took a shower this morning
Since I always went to the gym and met my girlfriends who are
a 'lil bit-tiny bitty' in somewhat older than me, and in some terms
already had two lil 'tails' wherever they go, namely children.

So, go back to the topic, (like i always do, not getting the focus-
do too much talking about nonsense), it just makes me wonder
what will i be when i reached 30. Some say that life begins at 30,
well as for me, life begins when you know what to do,
what should you do, and what best for you.

Gosh, it surely entered my mind. This morning, I have a chat with
my friend, and he asked me whether i enjoy my life now or not.
Well, mister, you got a very wrong question. As for me, the answer to
that question is ALWAYS GREAT.
My life is GREAT, period.
Very Good, indeed...
as it's always been...

It just makes me wonder
What will I gonna be when i grew up, i mean a lil bit more grow-up frm now
What will I be doing..
How will my husband look like
and the children of mine..ah will they be naughty as like 'annoying'
Gosh, all i know is that
I don't want to be as soon as possible be Grow up
in fact, i'm a lil bit scared to be old
nahh..i know being old is natural
but i like being in 20's
make life easier, simpler than ever

jazzy baby, one more time...

so, here we go again..
i was planning on watching Spiderman III with the gals..
as you know,the queue for the Spiderman thing has been heard lately..
and I thought that one of us should make a reservation 2days before
and both of my friends had many things to do at that day,
therefore, I took an inisiatif action to buy the tickets

it was 5.30pm when i rode my honda jazz all the way to BANDUNG SUPERMALL
opening the door of my car, i turned around, and i saw this beautiful view
on the sky...
like usual, ialways enjoy window shopping by myself
then, i bought 3 tickets..and looked around for just a moment
it was 6pm when i opened the door of my car
and i listened the jazz music while enjoying the night view ^-^
so beautiful

2007-05-09T20:09:00.000+07:00

in my house..

2007-05-07T13:02:00.000+07:00

What a Blast! I will appear on BANDUNG TV (sat,12may 2007) 9.30am and was interviewed live at WALAGRI RADIO 93.3FM

What can I say? GOd really puts His promises in my life!I was just doing my job as usual, performing jazzly at Prefere 72...when suddenly someone shooted me using big big "handycam" (dunno what it's called) i thought that it was for Prefere 72's documentation.
But then, the PR (Public Relation) said that they are form Bandung TV and that they wanted to interviewed my band, SKYLARK band! cool!
so then, they "videoed" us and interviewed us...

Not just that, but I was choosen to represent my band to talk live in Walagri Fm.
Some of you may never heard of this name before..
but i'm sure it's just the beginning...

People crawl from the lowest right?

ahh GOD thank you so much! You are great in Your ways!
Jazzy GOD rock!

2007-05-06T13:09:00.000+07:00

OMG!
I gain weight!!! not one not two kilos, but FOUR!
GOsh! didn't realize that !
But, really, i just realize that environment DOES change YOU
i am now surrounded by people that OMNIVORA haha and eat whenever THEY CAN but they still have a body like a model..ahh..so unfair :(

2007-05-05T15:54:00.000+07:00

i never like reading..aa..in fact i hate reading..
but lately i just find myself drowning in books..
the feeling to know more urges me doing that
and i find that "hey it's kinda fun."
you know..open pages by pages, you'll find that there's so much information that you are dying to know!
No wonder, they call book as the window of the world..
see,never too late for you to read something that interesting
first thing to do is that you have to have that "want to know" spirit
and the subject must interest you..
so..coffee plus book plus jazz.. what else, babe?

2007-05-03T07:59:00.000+07:00

Being a musician is a great gift from GOd!

a beautiful sight-seeing..city-view to be exact..i was on the highway and there was an elegant jazz music played on the radio..wow! what a night! my kind of situation..my kind of jazz with the sweet sweet sound of piano, saxophone, contra bass, simple drums, and angelic vocal...
just jazz and i and the city view! it's enough..it's just ... wonderful..

I'm on the LOcal Newspaper ^-^ Pikiran Rakyat Bandung

Komunitas Jazz Bandung di Cellar
Menanti Suguhan ”Whisper Not”

AWAL April lalu Komunitas Jazz Bandung kembali menggeliat dengan penampilan dua rising star, Zefanya Putra (12) dan Demas Narawangsa (14), di Cellar Cafe. Zefanya dengan kecepatan jemarinya di atas tuts piano berkolaborasi dengan gebukan drum

Demas, yang juga juara Indonesia untuk penabuh drum terbaik, dengan mainstream dan ethnic fusion yang keras.

Sajian yang bertajuk "Mainstream and Fusion in One Plate" ganti menu, yakni jazzy music yang benar-benar sweet dari Sky Lark serta grup jazz Nuansa Sky Lark yang dimotori Iswandi (piano), Tatang (gitar), Rudi (bas), Sugeng (drum), dengan vokalis Han Han dan Om Tula. Grup ini membawakan lagu-lagu mainstream standard seperti "Satin Doll", "Autumn Leaves", "Route 66", dll.

Dilanjutkan dengan penampilan Nuansa dengan pimpinan Yenyen (pianis), didukung Dadan (bas), Benny (saksofon), Yopie (drum), vokal Michelle, dan tambahan musisi lawas yang baru turun gunung, Maman Darisman, pada perkusi. Mereka membawakan lagu-lagu fusion yang telah akrab di telinga. seperti "Feels Like Making Love", "Summertime", "Cantalope Island", dll.

Perubahan atmosfer sesuai dengan pergantian irama dari mainstream yang dibawakan oleh Sky Lark ke irama fusion yang dibawakan Nuansa dapat dirasakan dengan jelas oleh semua komunitas yang hadir dan memperkaya pengenalan mereka akan musik jazz.

Pekan ini, Jumat (20/4), penikmat jazz akan menanti sajian Kang Gep dkk. dari Whisper Not. Tampil dalam dua sesi bersama Grup Koalisi, sajian jazz pekan ini diharapkan kembali mampu menjalin interaksi yang semakin dekat di antara komunitas. Artinya, dalam komunikasi itu sangat dinanti improvisasi yang semakin memikat. (Mardjan Zen/"PR")***

i wanna tell you how i miss you..
how i dreamt about you last night
but everything seems just a blur thing
when i know you are a thousand miles away from me

so, i say my prayer today
hoping you always happy and make your special someone happy

2007-01-17T08:03:00.000+07:00

i asked the stars why do i miss you
they said the don't know for they don't shine today

i asked the sun why do i miss you
The sun answered " I am busy during the daytime.."

i asked the moon why do i miss you
the moon said "I am lonely too..but I don't know why you miss him
that much in time I appeared"

2007-01-15T10:09:00.000+07:00

is it some kind of magic spell or what
just right after i posted the former 'heart-talk' about
how i want him to put his chin down and say that he misses me..
it's truly happened the next day
wow..
hmm
but now it makes me scared haha
well, how would you talk on this people?
or perhaps you should try to do so in order to make someone aware
of what you are thinking about them haha

2007-01-14T08:05:00.000+07:00

stop putting your chin up!
look into your deepest heart
don't freeze it
for i know you still have a pulse for me
so
Say it-say you miss me
just like i do miss you..

2007-01-10T08:15:00.000+07:00

FOOL TO LOVE

people say i'm a fool
fool for loving you
fool for waiting for you
fool for hoping you would come
fool for missing you..

everything reminds me of you
it's just everywhere..
everywhere i look

so yes, again, i'm a fool
so fool to know that you are not in the same path with me
i know you don't miss me the way i do
you don't
you just don't..

Happy New Year 2007!!

So, New Year it is!! ^^i was having job at CONGO, singing with the new jazz band, and the senior singer, Mr.TUla,
my friends came, yayy!! it was 11 pm...CONGO is a nice resto up in the peak of the city,
where you can see the view of the city lights there, and my friends came at that time, you can imagine how cold it was that night, some of them were riding their motorcycles, ahhh... how sweet
