Free At Last

Hai All...

After finishing 10 assignments and 4 exams.. i am free !!!! My first semester in Melbourne Uni is over. Fiuhh, that was more works than what i imagined. At least more than works that i have done when i attended my Informatics Master Degree in ITB.

Anyway, i spent my first day of freedom (which is last Thursday) by lazying all day long. Wake up late, youtubing, eat, sleep again (ow please..), wake up again, and nearly forgot that i haven't taken bath all day (whups...).

However, after that day, i followed an interesting activity. I became a drummer in Indomelb band. Hahaha, a drummer? Can i actually play a drum? Well, not really.. drum is even the last instrument that i could think of playing if i joined a band. I usually play bass guitar, sometimes a rhytm guitar if i must, but not a drum. Nope.. never play the drum for a band even once.

Despite of never been a drummer, i actually remember took a drum lesson while i was in Bandung a few years back. It was a really short course, around 2 months only, and the only song that i've ever studied was Nothing Else Matters by Metallica. I was really proud that i could play that song's drum at that time, but that was all. I don't even remember how to play that song's drum anymore.

Okey, back to become a drummer for Indomelb band. The indomelb band decided to play some songs in UMAC party. It was some kind of welcoming and farewell party for AusAid scholarship awardess (maybe.. not sure though). We played some Indonesian tradisional songs medley as well as other songs like Like a Stone and Last Kiss, and i have to admit that playing drum is really great !! Why didn't i try to learn it in the first place. Having said that, while i'm here, i think i'll stick to this instrument for a while..
