There was a band audition for the Culturaholic @kansas yesterday. And this kind of thing always meet some obstacles no matter how well you've planned the event.
1. The forgetful boss forgot to bring the guitar and the keyboard.
2. Pak Cecep, the dean, wanted to cut this thing short because we didn't have any legal permission to hold the event.
3. We didn't have the permission letter to hold the event.
4. The lack of time to let all 31 bands + Rinda perform and finish before 6 pm.
5. The rain.
But turned out, things were okay. Although it was 2 hours late, the event still started and Pak Cecep can hide behind his tacky name because Bu Ida (I don't know who she is) allowed us to continue the audition. And thanks to Indro, the time management was back to perfectly fine.
O yeah. The rain. It caused no problem at all. The bands were still playing, and the audience were still listening. Overall the audition went well. The band committee got money from the DUDU and the polling. You can say that it was a success. Thank god. And thank these committee--Sinro, Nilam, Bune, Aiya, Dhista, Heidi, Inro, and Dion. Oyeah, and Sami for being my slave for about 15 minutes. Tunggulah traktiranku minggu depan ;)
Wee! Senangnyaaa...
With all the hecticness, I still managed to go home, take a shower, and go on a birthday dinner with the girls, Bangun and Angga @ Tartine Citos. It'd be better if Ingga, Ebonk and Gibond could join us, but they all got their reasons. Anyways. Tartine was tasty, Bangun and Angga were funny, and the gank was comfy as always.
Aside from the above, these are little things that made my day:
- I turned 21. And I thank god I've changed from the girl who hates her own birthday into a normal person who loves it so much.
- Sinds and some of my classmates decorated the table that I was in with balloons and colorful crepe papers.
- Nils gave me a penguin plush, Sinds gave me a mug and even better, bando yang ada toeng2annya and *ahem* big balls on it xD
- People saying happy birthday.
- Meeting Bapet, whom I rarely see.
- The band audition. Because of it, I could enjoy non-stop music @kansas, be it the good ones or the nauseating j-rock ones. And also, because of it, my campus finally smelled like testosterone with all those guys from the bands. I like it ;9
- Again, the band audition. Who knew, I like working my ass off like yesterday until I forgot to eat and didn't even feel hungry. Also, the trust that people gave to me to handle some things? Liking it!
- People ambushed me with confetti sprays while singing happy birthday.
- Meeting the girls.
- The purple and gold pom-poms that Bangun and Pedhe gave for my birthday.
...Erm, what else. Point is, yesterday's giddiness was all about little things and the unknown x factor. What was it? I don't know, maybe it was just the fact that I was having my birthday. All is sugar and spice and everything nice.

However. Today. I had to tell Bangun that his band didn't make it. DARN. Breaking the news to him wasn't supposed to be this hard if only Gibond didn't shower him with exaggerated false hopes before. Ughhh! I dropped the bomb just a minute ago, and Bangun sounded okay. But I can't help feeling guilty (for idontknowwhat) and wanting to cry blood *nangis darah maksudnya, don't take it literally*, and I’m blaming Gibond for it.
"kiss me now that i'm older
i won't try to control ya
friday nights have been lonely
take it slow but don't warn me"
