Crazy Teenage Dream

Gilak, believe it or not pas SMP gw pengen jadi penyanyi opera.

or Broadway :D:D:D

Even when I was about to choose which faculty in Lasalle to join (oh I remember the younger and more hopeful version of me wanted to taste simply everything. Lasalle = artistic wonderland), I couldn't choose between visual art or..


musical theater. *jreng*jreng*jreng*


Err. Nunggu giliran presentasi aja mimpi buruk.


Found a corner in school's library.
Ahahah. Aida was my first opera VCD.

Actually I bought La Bohème first. Then it turned out to be a CD.
*slapping myself - stupiakkk but beneraan huhu it looked like a VCD*

Not that I had a particular favorite opera, but those kind of videos were so rare in Indonesia - and YouTube wasn't around. And internet wasn't that accessible. And Groban was relatively new to the industry so classical crossover wasn't so popular like now.

So when I discovered the *magnificent!* fantastic!* sensational!* classical music section in TA's Tarra Megastore (now sadly closed), I spent quite an amount of my pocket money to purchase anything affordable. I wanted everything actually. The more affordable ones first. And for a junior-high schooler the number was almost zero.

Now. Thank God for YouTube.

Eh no wonder I like Mall Taman Anggrek so much.

If I had the chance to visit the library during those junior high school days, I would have gone innnnsssaaane, I'd spend hours there trying to sing. Ahahaha.

O Mio Babbino Caro, from Gianni Schicchi *applause*

"Oo mioo babbiiiiino carooo...
Mi piace e bellohh *cough* cough* haaaa *cough*aaaahh, e belllloooo."
