It was more than a week ago, Feist finally had a Jakarta live in concert.
Got a 375K-Rupiahs-early-bird ticket and I’m ready!
Surprisingly, Erlend Øye from King of Convenience appeared to be the opening show plus a duet with Leslie Feist herself.
How about the concert? Great!
Very dreamy voice, intense communication with the crowd, improvisation in some tracks plus interesting Mountain Man.
Best part? I Feel It All from The Reminder and Anti Pioneer from Metals.
2 hours, 20 songs.
Satisfied! 
Dirty business in politics, d’oh it’s a public secret.
I believe it’s not just in that, life is full of dirty business stuffs.
Sincerity, does it really exist right now?

Being a grown up is not that easy as I thought, really
My head is about to explode
Blame the perfectionism!
I need confidence in myself, I need all of it.
National Geographic’s Departures, Skins, and Akunin (Villain).
Maybe you need something to watch?
It was midweek madness, but hey we had Foster the People live in concert!
Too bad I couldn’t bring my D90 and I could only bring my Lumix.
Also, I wasn’t in the front row in the festival section, yeah so I can say the image quality is not good enough but still acceptable.
Oh I wish I got the all-access-ID to capture the show’s best angle!
1,5 hours. 13 songs.
Spotlighted songs?
Miss You, Pumped Up Kicks (of course!) as an ending, and….
Broken Jaw! Really, I had goosebumps.
Not because I responded to cold or fear, but I was super-excited.
For an opening tour of this year, you did great job!
Thank you, Foster The People!
Not much words.
I just want to run, escape from reality.
and again, Bali is never boring.
“Jak-Japan Matsuri” is a Festival of Japan in Jakarta, which is expected to be a cultural information about the Japanese culture for the Indonesian people who want to know Japan more. This year is the 3rd one, held from September 18th to 25th. I only attended the closing ceremony at Monumen Nasional, because, yeah it’s in weekend.
Got some shots, maybe just ordinary shots, because there was so much crowds and it was scorcher!! totemo atsui desu!!
Such a fun, fun, fun festival! You can see omikoshi, cosplay, some Japanese dances, and also eat Japanese foods~
But the main interesting point is the friendship between Japanese and Indonesian people here are reflected obviously, it’s priceless.
Look forward to attending this festival again, next year. Oh, how I love Japan!
Jaa!
You know what sucks? You were thinking you’re good enough, but now you can see you are left behind. Fvck.
So, the journey started at 2008 back there at Surabaya, Indonesia.
My very first APDSA and I was a group leader at that time.
Met with other dental students from many countries in Asia-Pacific and also shared the culture.
The excitement still exists until now, I never forget what a great experience it was.
And the journey continues to 2009 at Penang, Malaysia.
It was so memorable that my seniors won the 1st place on SRC’s Oral Presentation.
And then I, actually me and my research group, were inspired.
“We can do it, too!”
We prepared the research well and planned it to be presented on Japan’s APDSA 2010.
But. it was not our time yet. Our team didn’t get the quota because the enormous excitements from Indonesia to join it.
A little dissappointment, but yeah we just wait for next APDSA.
Then the 2011 arrived and finally our research got selected! So we go as a team for APDSA 2011 in Bangkok just now.
“Luckily”, I’m the one chosen as presenter for my group.
Excited with a bit feeling of worried, but there’s nothing to lose!
It’s already an honour to be selected and joined such this international competition.
I remembered the time when we started the research back there.
Until this memorable and precious moment!
It’s 2nd place for SRC’s Oral Presentation!
Maybe we’re not the best, but we did our best.
Well then, probably it would be my last APDSA, but as APDSA’s seniors said, “Once APDSA, always APDSA!”
Jaa!
(I’ll write the memories from this Bangkok’s APDSA on the next post if I got time, heheh 
)
Not super nor no power, just another mediocre one
