Sleep Mode Plastic 3: ON

Semalam, Himasurya dan SMC--sebagai satu kesatuan panitia Plastic-- mengadakan rapat evaluasi terakhir untuk PLASTIC 3 sekaligus "pengistirahatan" panitia PLASTIC. (Istilah "pengistirahatan" digunakan dengan harapan akan ada PLASTIC 4 tahun berikutnya)

Jujur, saya salut dengan panitia PLASTIC tahun ini. Mereka semua bekerja dengan optimal dan kompak. Dalam kepanitiaan ini, bukan hanya hasil akhir yang baik yang didapatkan, melainkan juga rasa kebersamaan. Pada awalnya saya merasakan adanya gap (tidak banyak, memang) antara Himasurya dan SMC. Untungnya, gap itu sedikit demi sedikit mengecil seiring dengan berlalunya acara PLASTIC dari minggu ke minggu. Seperti yang saya bilang tadi, rasa kebersamaan perlahan hinggap di hati kami. Banyaknya waktu yang kami jalani bersama membuat ikatan persaudaraan kami makin kuat. He he. Bahasaku kok jadi makin formal ya?

Saya juga salut dengan penonton. Nggak nyangka, antusiasme mahasiswa STAN cukup tinggi terhadap acara ini. Menurut saya, hal itu terjadi karena:

  1. Musik adalah interest yang universal. Banyak mahasiswa (dan dosen, dan penjaga parkiran, dan anak-anak, dan orangtua) menyukai musik.
  2. Mahasiswa membutuhkan wadah untuk menyalurkan hobi dan bakat bermusiknya.
  3. Acara ini tidak membatasi kreativitas bermusik dan seni mahasiswa. Semua jenis aliran musik diterima. Segala bentuk kreasi performance juga diterima.
  4. PLASTIC memberikan kesempatan bagi mahasiswa untuk berani tampil dan jadi eksis. He he.
  5. Banyak band mewakili kelas atau organdanya sehingga banyak suporter datang untuk menyemangati dan menonton teman-teman mereka yang tampil di atas panggung. Akibatnya, Plasma menjadi ramai tiap malam Jumat dan Sabtu--di mana ada PLASTIC. Ho ho.
  6. Kehidupan di kampus kadang membuat jenuh. Daripada suntuk di kos, mending datang dan menikmati musik di PLASTIC. Udah mudah (dekat dengan kos, nggak perlu jauh-jauh), nggak perlu keluar duit pula. He he.
  7. Plasma adalah tempat yang strategis dan nyaman. Strategis, karena keberadaannya berada dekat dengan tempat kos mahasiswa STAN, yaitu Sarmili, Kalimongso, Ceger, Ponjay, dan PJMI. Nyaman, karena plasma cukup luas, sangat terbuka, dan tidak dibatasi oleh dinding sehingga bisa menjamin oksigen bagi seluruh pengunjung PLASTIC yang bisa bebas menghirup udara malam yang segar. Kalau diadakan di tempat tertutup, bakal berasa panas dan pengap tuh (kecuali kalo ada ACnya. Hahah. Untuk sementara ini, ruangan yang memadai seperti itu--yang luas dan ada Air Conditioner yang berfungsi optimal-- belum ada di kampus)

Sayangnya, nggak semua mahasiswa STAN datang dan nonton PLASTIC. Masih banyak juga yang nggak pernah datang sekalipun di acara ini. Menurut saya, memang nggak semua orang menyukai keramaian seperti acara musik ini. Juga, nggak semua orang suka menghabiskan waktu di luar rumah malam-malam. Hal itu memang nggak bisa dipaksakan.

Acara ini sempat menghadapi kendala, di antaranya perijinan, ketepatan jadwal acara, dan kualitas sound. Namun, berbagai kendala itu bisa diatasi. Panitianya juga oke. Menurut saya, kualitas sebuah kepanitian bisa kita lihat dari bagaimana mereka menghadapi dan menyelesaikan hambatan yang ada.

PLASTIC 3 memang belum sempurna. Akan tetapi acaranya berjalan dengan lancar, kehadirannya pun berkesan di hati mahasiswa STAN. Saya tetap mengacungkan jempol untuk acara ini dan panitia yang bekerja di baliknya :)

So-Last-Week Diary

It's funny when some entities say that you are talented and smart while at the same period there are other entities say that you are silly and stupid.


I'm still Tasa, however, an ordinary girl who has a big obsession and some big dreams. I'm just a girl who loves freedom, making friends, laughing, learning, loving, dancing, blogging, facebook-ing... (And still want to be able to cook.) :p

I'm not perfect. Sometimes I make mistakes and hurt people. Sometimes I am too lazy to do homework or take a bath.


I realize that:

I feel sad when I'm neglected. But then I know it won't happen forever.

I feel frustrated when I'm too far from my goals and no one come to support me. But then I know it's only for a while.

I feel I miss something when I'm not with my family. But then I know I always have them inside my heart.

I feel I need bestfriend(s). But I know I already have them. I just have to open up my heart widely and see that they're here beside me.


By the way, to my friends Ari and Primbon, thank's for being care to my silly notes in Primbon's book a week ago. You guys really made my day :)

Spending The Long Weekend


HOLIDAY, from Wednesday till Sunday. :D
Recently, I do really NEED holiday. From college. From extracurricular. I need time to let myself free to do anything I like. To do my plans.
I'm actually a solitaire. But I still love to group, anyway.
Flexible? Hm. Let's say so. I need other people as I'm a social person but it's not weird when I need time for myself, right?

Huah.
By the way,
some of my friends had said once that I'm a perfectionist. Now I guess they're right, a little.
I'm still human. Not perfect but still thriving for the best. I feel word "excellentionist" is more preferrable than perfectionist. Hahaha.



Well, it's people's mind. I cannot force them to change their perception about me. But I think I will get the positive results at the end. My efforts will bring a very BIG satisfaction, I believe :)
A way too optimistic? No, but it's much better than be pessimistic.
World is sometimes damaged or flawed. But that does not mean you can't be excellent.



TIPS

If you are perfectionist:
You're good. But you can be better if you relax! Don't let your perfectionism drives you. See something more clearly. The "right" way from your side not always be the "right" way to others. There are still many possible "right" ways.

If you are anti-perfectionist:
You are practical and realistic. You won't force yourself and others too far to get perfection. But, it's not wrong if you want to be excellent. Explore your power! I believe you have bigger potential than what you think.



MY OPINION
"Kita ini ciptaan Allah, yang pasti mutlak sempurna (Berani bilang bahwa ciptaan Tuhan itu nggak sempurna??). Namun, kita harus ingat bahwa melakukan hal-hal yang sempurna itu nggak mutlak sifatnya. Aku pikir tiap orang punya standar masing-masing tentang hal yang terbaik bagi mereka."


Sekian diary hari ini!
Have a nice weekend, all :)

New Vocabulary: Mouthpiece

Say I'm a lil' bit late that I knew this vocabulary just now... hehe.

From Oxford Learner's Pocket Dictionary:
Mouthpiece
n [C]
1. part of a musical instrument, telephone, etc that is placed in or near the mouth.
eg: Those mouthpieces have been the most important part of trumpeter(trumpet player)s' life.

2. person, newspaper, etc that expresses the opinion of others.
eg: The newspaper became a mouthpiece for its owner's political views. (from Wikipedia)

Here are the mouthpieces...


Hmm. So, we know now what Mouthpiece is. Ini sebenarnyaaa...


*images from: here, here, and here.

5 Facts About... Me

Again, I got it from my daddy... :)

And... here they are... the facts that:

1. I love to call some of my friends as if they were my family. (ex: Deady "daddy", Said "brother", Mia "sister", Faiz "little brother", Aryo "father", ... etc)

2. I'm afraid of touching animals, except rabbits.

3. I prefer keeping my own problem to sharing with friends.

4. I can't tell a lie. (you can see it if i lie... they happen at the same time: too many unecessary movements, too many "emm"s, unfocused eyes, unlogical statements...)

5. I'm rarely annoyed with dangdut music. I think dangdut is fine (except some "too-hot-and-too-blink2 performance of some dangdut singers). heheheh



What about you?
Would you like telling me 5 facts about you and tagging me so I can know you better?
