dilettante, part ii

 

still need to improve on my angle-taking and editing skills. hwaiting! ^^

piano recital

it's been a while since i attended a concert. i miss my college time when i got free exposure to music. ucsi exposed her students well. every end of semesters, music students performed various musical performances. personally i found them entertaining, fresh, artistic and fun. i never appreciated classical music, but since they have these events, i learn to appreciate it. hopefully this tradition still goes on.

so when one of my colleagues, erika, who loves classical music found this piano recital ads on newspapers and asked me, i willingly accepted it. it's a piano recital by loo bang hean, who is an adjunct lecturer at ucsi. what a small world huh?

arriving at the piano room, i was surprised to find an ivory-colored piano prepared for him to play. what a fancy man, i thought. but when he, loo bang hean, introduced himself and pieces he was about to play, he himself admitted that he was surprised to get an ivory-colored piano to play with. that night he played five pieces. i'm no music expertise, but i enjoyed his music. perhaps because the beat was quite fast, so i didn't fall asleep.

i'm happy with the music progress in medan. we have annual event for jazz lover. and lately we have more exposure to classical music too.

dilettante, part i

if you still remember i took some pics last year and made dilettante, here's  the sequence ^^

i still couldn't convince anyone to be my model, except my sis, with my little knowledge of photography. so thankful i got her. with my awkward way of photography and my sis' awakward posing, i guess this time's shot was much better than last year's.

vw garage

it's so green!

it's a very old vw garage. i myself have no idea whether it's still open or not. and i didn't find the courage to meet the owner. i love to see old car. and they have a few, which are awesome. 

i love small cars. definitely gonna mad about this car, if only it's clean.

my first ever bruschetta

i've been dying to try this recipe since i watched julie & julia movie. i did search the recipe since then, but i never found the time to make it. now since i have a long weekend, i pushed myself to make it, with help from my sister. she was curious of it, the look and the taste. although i tried to follow every ingredients and steps written to make a good bruschetta, i just couldn't. i didn't put salt and pepper. i used coriander instead of basil. and an indonesian, i put chilli on it. and frankly it tasted better. bon appetite!

another happy wedding party this year

congratulations to hendra & lina.

the happy couple

the bride

bro & sis-in-law

today is definitely not their wedding day. it's been months since then. and these are definitely not their pre-wed photos. they were taken during cny and this year is their first year of wedding. they still live with us. they argue now. over a simple matter. they know each other better now. they are not as goofy as they were. thanks God! and they learn from each other. perhaps i haven't congratulated them enough, so here i am wishing you guys happy wedding ^^ again.
