The Upstairs, Adhitia Sofyan. Beautiful intruders!!

Hi all..

So, recently, me and my friend went to a gig. It was actually a private gig for a certain faculty in an X university, but since we really yearned to witness Adhitia Sofyan's performance, we set aside our sanity and logic. So, we attended the show. Yeah, of course, people straightly noticed that we were not belong to them. We're intruders, but who cares?? We really enjoyed the performance, moreover, there was also a good surprise for us; THE UPSTAIRS!!!

That is the first time we see the upstairs' show live!! And it was superb. Well, even if they performed with only 3 original band members and two additional band members, it did not lessen their musical quality. The best part of the show of this band is the way of the lead vocal to have a fun and hilarious conversation with the audience between the performance. Yes, Jimi Multhazam is ssooo goood in doing this!!

To tell the truth, I felt a little bit disappointed with Adhitia Sofyan's performance. It's wayyyy far from my expectation. Yeah, yeah, I know, I supposed not to expect much from singers with musical taste like Mr. Sofyan, but, I thought he could do better than that. I don't know, maybe it's the way he sang, but I just not really into the mellow songs when it is performed live :P

Baby Eat Crackers. Hmm.. I understand so well why this band take this name :P they're so soft like baby.. with bosanova tunes, I almost can't help myself to doze off.

Yeah, this is the crowd I'm talking about. They were like having this SNEAKCOSKOPE telling them that we were outsiders :(

Gitarku saja tak cukup menjadi andalan... Well, to me it is, Mr!

Adhitia Sofyan told the audiance that his keyboardist is still single, YAYYYY!!

Mr. Love Guitar :P

Pandu Fathoni, The Upstair's additional bassist.

Krishna Sukarya, additional keyboardist and synth!! I love this dude.

Jimi Oh Jimi... you're such a Darling!!

I wonder where he did he get that glasses???

Jimi once told the audience that he really loved the religious audience that nite. He likes to see the crowd looked sincere and nice. That's why he wanted to sing their Religious song. But that song is never come out of his mouth because they actually don't have it :P

Andre Idris, he's as cool as an ice..

Look at the flame above Jimi's head! It explains everything I want to say :P

Living in Bandung Today..

It is a fact about Bandung: Bandung is super crowded. People are everywhere and so does with the houses. Yeah, I know, this kind of situation just happens to almost every big city in every corner of the world. Big cities have allures that people can't deny and it is therefore people from everywhere are coming and make full the cities. Me and my family also the new comer in Bandung, that's why I know so well about this opinion :P But pleassseee, can people just stop coming and coming? 

The worst part about this kind of urbanization is that the native or local people that don't have strong economical background will be marginalized in terms of the area to live. Based on my own experience and facts that I witness, many people who are originally reside in Bandung have to move to other secluded area in order to be able to continue living. They will sell their houses and lands and buy another that is cheaper. Yes, most people do that in Bandung. And that is very sadden.

Bandung is already overloaded. If you need anymore proof, just check these picts out:

Look at this crowded and hectic houses, it will be very difficult to do the evacuation if something bad happens such as fire.

Houses are not supposed to be built near river banks like this due to the safety and environmental preservation reasons, but in Bandung, things like this is COMMON!

My lovely but sad Bandung..

I really wish the government will do something about this. All they need is only to CARE!! Once they care about others, next they will have the empathy and try to make everything better. That's why, in my opinion, people who are in charge is supposed to be elected from the minority sides that is well aware with the difficulties of living life, SIGHHHH... well, I'm just a chatterbox. I don't know what I'm talking about. But there's one thing that I am SURE I KNOW is that I CARE!! I Love Bandung. That's why I want people to notice about this issue.

SAUSAGE FOR YOU?? Ohhh, Isn't it just so obvious!!

During my wandering days attending interviews for my job applications here and there, there is a shop that captured my attention. So, I decided to take the pict of it and share it here. What do you think?? 

I don't know, is it the real name of the owner or is it just a marketing boost up??

This is a pen. These are dick's sausages. Isn't that just obvious?? :D
