Back to Sentences Posted by Detective Muse on 1:33 PM

It's been a long time since I sat in front of my computer and typed some words of my imaginations to become a new story. The last story I wrote is... Crap! I even can't remember it! -__-'. Since I "trapped" in this condition (secretary of student organization and other busy conditions), I just type letters and proposals. I rarely have time to write new stories (even to update my blog).

But now, the condition has been changed. During my last days on second grade in Senior High School, once again I found another inspiration for my new story. I got it from many sources, such as games, music, and even historical figures

Now I'll explain a little bit about the new story...

The story is about rise and fall of a king. The King in this story is inspired by Coldplay's Viva La Vida, Louis XVI of France, and many games such as Suikoden, Sim City 4, and many more. In the past, The King had a best friend and a lover. And.... (oops, sorry there isn't any spoiler for this story ^_^). I planned to divide the story into two parts, with different point of view and characters.

For their titles, I prefer "Rise" and "Fall". I was inspired by a book named "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" which I knew from a history book. "Rise" is for the first part, while "Fall" is for the second part.

"No guts, no glory". Based on that proverb, I will try to write this story set in a fictional kingdom in British regions on circa. 1000s A.D. So, I'm going to need a lot of research on these things.

Well folks, that's all I can tell about my new story. I'm fighting so hard to make it come true, so wish me luck and success ^_^. And if you want to participate in this project, you can contact me via email to kharishar_kahfi@yahoo.co.id.

That's all folks. Au revoir! Read More..

American Field Service Selection - An Experience Posted by Detective Muse on 5:48 AM

I think every high school student in the world must be known this. Yes, it is American Field Service aka. AFS! Historically, this is some kind of humanity organization which helped wounded soldiers in World War I. But as the life goes on, the organization which based on world peace changed its programs into intercultural student exchange.

But now, I won’t tell you about it (you can search it in Wikipedia). I will share to you about my experience with American Field Service Indonesian Edition, Yayasan Bina Antarbudaya.

My journey with Bina Antarbudaya started a year ago. I was a first grader of a senior high school who is really interested with student exchange program, especially AFS. So, I signed myself to the selection test. There are three phase of test. First, there’s Writing Test (general knowledge, English, and Indonesian Essay). Then we got Interview Test. If we pass it… well I don’t know much about the third phase, because I didn’t pass until the third phase T.T.

When I didn’t see my name in the list of who passed the test, my family and I felt so disappointed, especially to me. But I recover from my disappointment and decided to try with another student exchange program when I’m on college. But, I decided one thing; I have to be a Volunteer of Bina Antarbudaya and keep join with them in another way.

Almost a year later, my senior in high school asked me if I want to be a Volunteer of Bina Antarbudaya. Suddenly, I saw a bright light of inspiration; if this is my chance, why not? So I give him a Yes and he told me to come to help him and his friends with the registration. That was the first time I became a Volunteer of Bina Antarbudaya.

Me and Seniors of Bina Antarbudaya

I come and helped in the registration phase. Silently, I asked my senior if I can help them again on the test phase. I get the confirmation from my senior after a few days and he said, “Yes! You may come with us.”

During the test phase and its preparations, I helped them like I do my job in student’s organization in my school; a total work. Of course, I met many people I didn’t know before. There are kind people, crazy people, but they are really professional with their job. I like that! After the test, I really want to help them on the second phase of the test which will be held in Jakarta. But I still wait for the confirmation from the seniors. I really hope I can work with them again ^_^ . Read More..

Idle ≠ Dead Posted by Detective Muse on 1:57 PM

Well, it's been a long time since the last time I wrote in my blog. Well, idle from blog didn't mean my creativity died like a dying soldier in the battlefield. I usually transfer bright ideas in my brain to my Twitter. Those ideas are just like quotes

Minimize ours, maximize theirs
(refers to casualties in war)

I sing, I think, I solve things
(inspired by Jason Mraz and Bobby Rama Jaya)

Our mind is a time machine; it can go to the future, it can go to our past
(got this when I wrote my autobiography)

Our life is just like company's profit graph; sometimes it goes up, sometimes it goes down
(ah, I forget about this one -_-)

Not only quotes, I made some design with my lovely Photoshop. Actually some of those designs were my friends' request for their autobiography project.

These are my design
for Kiky's cover














<- This is my design for Bopal's cover
->
This is my design for my school's graduation

Chapters of My Life Posted by Detective Muse on 9:16 PM

Since I was on the 4th grade, I had a dream to become a writer. Specifically, a successful writer which books are all best seller. But when I enter the new phase of my life which I know many people with different characteristics, I was influenced by those things and began to forget my dream.

But actually, the feeling of create some stories sometimes appears. Sometimes i just want to go to my computer and start typing a silly but amazing stories. I want to write a lot of story and show it to the world. But, sometimes the inspiration seems like they hate me and fly away from me.

In April 2010, I found a stairway to my dream. My Indonesian teacher, Miss Widi, gave me and my friends an assignment to write about ourselves. Well, it was not just a story, but it was an autobiography. Start from our childhood until our time at Senior High School.

When I wrote mine, I got an idea to publish it in Internet, so the world can know me and my writings. So, here I am, publish my autobiography so you can read it.

Thanks to Miss Widi for the assignment. Last but not least, thanks to everyone who has brighten up my life and fill my life with millions of memories.

Cheers! Read More..

Me and History Posted by Detective Muse on 6:58 PM

Jujur aja, aku lagi gak punya ide untuk nulis postingan di sini. Tapi tadi kepikiran buat nulis sedikit bagian tentang aku. Jadi, kuwujudkan saja pikiranku itu :D

Cerita ini mungkin dimulai sejak beberapa tahun yang lalu, ketika aku baru mulai suka buku-buku sejarah karangan P.K. Ojong yang bertema Perang Dunia II. Waktu itu, aku coba-coba aja beli satu buku tersebut. Kubaca, aku ketagihan :D. Jadi aku mulai ngoleksi buku-buku karangan dia.

Dari saat itu, aku mulai suka sejarah. Waktu itu aku masih mengkhususkan tentang Perang Dunia II saja, karena emang waktu itu baru kenal tentang itu. Akhirnya aku pun berniat jadi sejarawan, tapi waktu itu masih tetap spesialis Perang Dunia II :D. Tapi perlahan-lahan aku berubah, mulai suka sejarah dunia secara umum, tidak mengkhususkan pada satu bidang saja (wow, bahasanya rumit! :D)

Aku gak cuma tertarik kepada buku-buku sejarah yang tebal-tebal (kuakui, buku sejarah emang tebal), tetapi juga kepada hal-hal di sekitarku. Misalnyaaa.....

Kakekku pernah cerita kalo dia mau bikin silsilah keluarga. Tapi gak cuma itu, lengkap dengan ceritanya satu per satu, terutama yang generasi tuanya (maksudnya generasi yang terdahulu gitu lho :D). Nah, aku tertarik tuh sama cerita yang kaya begitu.

Gak cuma itu, aku juga tertarik ke barang-barang tua, kaya mobil antik, benda-benda rumah tangga tua gitu, senjata-senjata (terpengaruh Perang Dunia II :D), pokoknya apa aja yang tua deh. Contohnya, aku suka banget sama mobilku, yang bisa dikatakan tua, karena umurnya yang hampir sama denganku :D.

Well, last but not least, aku suka banget sama sejarah, dan berniat memperdalam ilmu sejarahku biar bisa berguna di masa depan :) Read More..
