Violin is remarkable and amazing musical instrument that human kind ever created.
Everybody would easily fall in love with the beauty sound of a violin in the right
hand. If there is a musical instrument I’d like able to play, I wish a violin in
my hand.

But a friend told me, even in a class of music, only the students with highest rank
would able to hold a violin. Meanwhile I’m blind in musical notation, and everything
about playing a musical instrument. Well, I just look like a donkey which tried 
to cross over a mountain in a single jump.

Sometimes I just hold my old dusty violin, clean it up, and gazing for a moment.
I really don’t have any idea where to start. I won’t take any class to learn how
to play violin, just like I never take a class to learn how to build a website. 
It is a hobby, I never put my self in front of black or white board to hear some
expert tutoring me.

I turn on my DVD player, and put some classical music instrumental audio CD. Listening
any part of the melodies, try to capture any magical sound that bring about peace
and harmony in my mind. For awhile the moment just make me feel in the very vast
ocean, where the wind blows softly, and the sea current running gently takes me 
to the never land. I can see how the clouds change their form from one beauty to
another beauty.

A couple hours later, I realize that I did fall asleep in my bad. And I have not
grasp any more talent by listening the music. At lest I can smile to my self, and
say yes, if I love this musical instrumentation so much, and so much that I dream
to make myself able to play even a single bar of musical notes.

I remember that day, she smile at me and asking me to play one song for her. And
the only thing I can do only offering a simple pizzicato without so much harmony.
What a shameless moment. But yet, I still love to hold my violin, even I can’t play
the simplest notes. It is a joy to love a harmony.

If someone asking me if I can play a violin, ah.., sorry, I am not a violist…, at
least, not yet.

biola ya….
 aku dulu juga punya mimpi bisa jadi violist, tapi mamaku memutuskan 
supaya aku les piano. Aku jadi pianist keren? ga juga, kurang tekun. Yang lain latihan
2 jam sehari, aku seminggu sekali sejam. hahaha! ujian terakhirku dengan lagu “Last
Sorrow” nilainya B. 😐

Untuk membuat benda mati menjadi indah adalah kemauan yang sangat kuat. Bukan cuma
cerdas atau pintar. That’s what I learned…..

I won’t forget that our national anthem was created by a violist.
