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.

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..

Flag Waver Squad Posted by Detective Muse on 11:04 AM

Before continue to my story, I want to apologize about the silly title. Well, that’s because I really don’t know about the English of Paskibra, so I just translate it word by word, and that’s the result. But if you have any idea about the correct English, just tell me okay? Thanks mate, cheers!

This idea came to me several days ago. When my big family came to my house, some of them asked me, “What sport do you like? Is it basket, or soccer, or what?” Well, I usually confused with those kinds of questions. But now, I can answer them with this kind of answer, “Well, I usually do some exercise at Paskibra.”

Well, actually, Paskibra was a new thing for me because my extracurricular activities were never physical activities. When I was on Junior High School, my activities were Teen Red Cross, Science Club, and IT-Community (the last one is the best activities that I ever followed). Even on Senior High School, the first extracurricular activity that I joined was School Magazine.

It was started on March 2010 (or maybe last February 2010). My friends (or maybe my best friends), Bopal and Bobby asked me to follow Paskibra because Paskibra were going to follow a competition. Because of Bopal and Bobby, I joined with them.
The first time I followed their practice I didn’t surprised how hard it was because I felt it when I followed LDKS and LDKI for OSIS candidates. But just like those practice, Paskibra practice made me so tired.

On the first day too I met the seniors and knew them deeper for the first time, but of course not as deep as now. The seniors gave us some briefing about the selection of Paskibra for August 17th Ceremony on National and Province level. Bopal encouraged me to follow the selection. So I just filled the form and signed it. But we still had to concentrate on the competition.

There were two phases of first selection. Fortunately, I got through those phase of selection. But unfortunately, I didn’t get through the last phase of selection. But Bopal got through, so I just support him so he can get to National level.

After selection, we concentrate to our competition. The competition was held on April 25th. We got very hard training because the boy squad wasn’t serious at the practice. But H minus some days, we practiced seriously. But the both teams (boys and girls) weren’t lucky. We didn’t get any champion in that competition.

Well, for me, Paskibra is a very exciting activity. That’s because my friends (both old and new), my seniors, the Paskibra itself, and many things. I hope with this activity, my nationalism will increase than before haha.

The Origin of Kuka Posted by Detective Muse on 5:13 AM

I have lived for 15 years so I have met many new people. When I meet other people, I like to introduce myself to them. So first thing I tell them is my name; my full name and my nickname. But there’s always one question that come up after I tell them my nickname, and that question is:

“Nama Kuka dari mana sih? Kenapa Kharishar Kahfi bisa jadi Kuka?”

And I always answer that question with this sentence:

“Ceritanya panjang hehehe :D”

But now, I’ll tell you, my blog reader, the history of my name, Kharishar Kahfi and Kuka.
Sometimes, I ask my mama about the meaning of my name. Fortunately, she always tell me about my name’s meaning. I’m gonna explain it to you, start from my full name, Kharishar Kahfi.

The first word, Kharishar. Maybe you think it’s just one simple word. If you think like that, you’re very very wrong mate. Kharishar is the combination between three words and one hope (^_^). Those three words are Kharisma, (my mother’s name), and (my father’s name). According to my mama, Kharishar is my parent’s hope so I can have their charisma (Y) (Y).

The second word, Kahfi. If you look into Islam history, you’ll find a story about several men and animal who hid into a cave and slept there for hundreds years. God made them slept for hundreds years so they were save from their enemy. According to my mama, Kahfi is my parent’s another hope that if something bad comes to me, God will save me from those bad things.

Now, I’m gonna discuss about my nickname, Kuka. Well, Kuka is a simple word formed by three different letters; K, U, and A. First, I’ll tell you about the history of Kuka

My parents married on 1993. Since then, they have “love nick names”. My mama called my papa “Poepa” and my papa called my mama “Moema”. Because I’m the first child, they called me “Kaka”. But they used their “love nick names” to my name, so they called me “Kuka”.
Well, that’s the history of Kuka. But if we look deeper into Kuka, there’s another meaning of Kuka. My mama always said Kuka is the shorter version of “Kukasihi”, “Kukangenin”, etc. (Y)

But, I hate this part when I must tell another about the origin of Kuka, cause they make something bad with my name, like “KUKAcangin”, “KUKAsih tamparan”, etc. -_-

But I don't hate my name, I always love it. My name’s good because they contain my parent’s hope for me to be a better person. I hope their hopes are granted so I can be a better person.

New Post, New Life Posted by Detective Muse on 9:46 PM

Hey hey, long time no see my blog haha. It has been 4 months since our last meeting right? Sorry because I didn’t have any mood, even time to blogging

I have so many stories to tell ya. Well, it’s about my life. I mean my NEW life haha.

First story is about my lovelife (I always want to tell it since months ago but…. Sorry). Well, I’m single now. My ex-girlfriend and I broke up at November 20th 2009, in Kencana Loka, BSD. I was so sad that time, but now, it’s different me. Now we are walking on different way and different life. She has found another perfect boy and I still enjoy my single, (not totally) free, alone life. Well, I’m still looking for the next one haha.

Well, honestly, I just want to tell you about my lovelife. But I think that’s not enough. So, I’ll tell you my blog reader (^_^) another story about my life.

Since October or November 2009 (I forget when it happened), I was a member of Student Organization in my school, SMAN 2 Kota Tangerang Selatan, and I’m the member of 10th department of Student Organization. As one of many members of Student Organization, I’m involved on one of Student Organizations giant (more than big-red) project. The project is called Moonzher Cup (but my friend and I sometimes call it MooCup). So for all my blog reader, please pray for us so we are able to carry out our giant project (amen) :).

Well maybe that’s enough for opening after a very long break hehe. See ya next time guys in next post in the same blog :D. Good bye! Read More..

The Resistance Posted by Detective Muse on 9:16 AM

Senangnya bisa posting lagi, yess! Keep enjoying my blog, friends :D

The Resistance. Kata ini sangat berarti bagiku, malah ada dua arti yang sangat penting bagiku, yaitu:

1. Karena aku mempelajari Perang Dunia II, ada istilah Resistance, yang artinya pejuang bawah tanah yang menentang Jerman Nazi. Aku lumayan tertarik sama hal ini, karena emang seru
2. Album baru Muse, yang udah lama ditunggu, yang baru keluar pada tanggal 14 September 2009. Kalo ini sih jangan ditanya lagi, pasti aku suangaat tertarik :D

Nah di postingan ini, aku bakal ngebahas tentang arti The Resistance yang kedua, yaitu judul album baru Muse, termasuk cerita singkat tentang perjalananku bersama album baru ini.

Dulu, waktu pertama kali aku suka Muse, objective utamaku adalah ngumpulin lagu Muse, semua album dan kalo memungkinkan, B-Sidesnya. Dan Alhamdulillah, sebagian besar tujuanku itu udah tercapai.

Nah, aku gak mau stuck sampai di situ aja. Akhirnya aku naik satu level. Setelah ngoleksi lagu-lagu lamanya, aku pengen punya lagu barunya. Album barunya berjudul The Resistance.

Kabar tentang album barunya tuh udah lamaa banget, pas awal 2009 kalo gak salah. Nah, kuikutin tuh beritanya, soalnya ngarep banget dapet lagu baru dari Muse :D. Dan Alhamdulillah, banyak berita yang bisa didapetin dari banyak sumber.

Mulai bulan Juli (atau Agustus gitu), ada treasure hunt yang diadain muse.mu (official websitenya muse) buat nge-unlock lagu United States of Eurasia. Honsetly, aku gak ikut sama treasure hunt itu, soalnya Indonesia gak termasuk T_T. Tapi aku dapet hasilnya, yaitu lagu United States of Eurasia (sebenarnya sih download di tempat lain :D)

Terus muse.mu menyediakan free streaming (tapi mesti jadi anggota dulu sih) album The Resistance, pas deket-deket launching albumnya (14 September ’09). Satu per satu lagunya muncul, kuikutin juga perkembangannya :D. Sampe akhirnya….

TANGGAL 14 SEPTEMBER 2009. Di luar negeri sih launching albumnya, tapi di Indonesia nggak :D. Tapi aku ikut merasakan kebahagiaannya (cieelah). Kucari beberapa berita tentang launchingnya, terus kubuka muse.mu buat denger satu album. Wow, seneng banget rasanya :D

Aku udah berkomitmen buat beli yang original, tapi tetep, aku nyari di internet, terus kudownload lagu-lagunya :D. Dan Alhamdulillah, udah lengkap satu album, kecuali satu lagu (MK Ultra). Hehehe

Playlist di The Resistance: (with a little comment ^_^)

1. Uprising (opening song for the album, one of my favourite songs in the album)
2. Resistance (it could be wrong..it could be wrong..)
3. Undisclosed Desires (synth and slap bass :D)
4. United States of Eurasia (first song that I knew, and probably the most favourite song, because of its violin :D)
5. Guiding Light ("a little cooling down" song)
6. Unnatural Selection (guitar play in closing is sooo great :D)
7. MK Ultra (MOST WANTED SONG! NEED LONG TIME TO FIND THIS)
8. I Belong to You (+Mon Coeur S'ouvre A Ta Voix) (Viva la France!)
9. Exogenesis part 1 (Overture) (the opening of three part symphony)
10. Exogenesis part 2 (Cross-Pollination) (my favourite part of the symphony)
11. Exogenesis part 3 (Redemption) (closing, calm music makes me calm) 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..

Happy Ramadhan Posted by Detective Muse on 6:36 PM

Alhamdulillah, Ramadhan telah tiba. Berarti sebulan penuh puasa, sebulan penuh rahmat, sebulan penuh pahala. Alhamdulillah :)

Well, aku seneng banget bulan Ramadhan tiba lagi. Berarti aku bisa puasa, bisa nambah pahala setelah melakukan banyak dosa (tuh aku ngaku :D), dan lain-lain lah.

Tapi ada yang beda tahun ini. Kalo biasanya aku mudik pas lebaran nanti, tahun ini, aku yang dimudikin (istilahnya gak banget :D). Wah, pasti seru, lebaran kumpul di sini :)

Well, last but not least, happy fasting to all of you who celebrate this great month. I'm sorry if I have mistakes to you. Happy fasting, happy ramadhan :) Read More..

Uprising Posted by Detective Muse on 7:34 PM

Ini lagu hebat banget, soalnya muncul pas aku sakit, dan alhamdulillah, bisa jadi salah satu penyemangat buatku :D

Dan cerita tentang Uprising pun bermulai dari sini...

Hari apa gitu, aku kan udah dapet lagu barunya Muse, United States of Eurasia (dapat dilihat di postingan lalu). Nah, tuh lagu kudengerin terus, kucari liriknya. Pokoknya kudengerin terus deh, karena emang aku suka tuh lagu.

Karena aku kecapekan karena suatu kegiatan, aku sakit. Mulai kerasa hari Senin, tapi gak masuk sekolah hari Selasa-Rabu. Tapi aku tetep dengerin United States of Eurasia lah, sebagai hiburan juga.

Hari Rabu, aku kebetulan lagi di depan komputer, buat nanya tugas sama temen-temenku. Iseng, aku buka websitenya Muse sama muselive.com. Eh nemu tuh info tentang Uprising. Langsung kucari deh di YouTube videonya. Alhamdulillah dapet, langsung ku download.

Kalo untuk detail lagunya aku gak bisa ngasih komen sih, soalnya agak gak ngerti banget soal musik. Tapi untuk Uprising, lagunya keren, kaya ada sentuhan rock jadul gitu deh :D. Lagunya rock, gak kaya United States of Eurasia yang campuran gitu.

Kalo mau denger lagunya, ini linknya (thanks for YouTube for the video) Read More..

New Look Posted by Detective Muse on 4:51 PM

Akhirnya, setelah sekian lama agak pusing menentukan template blog yang baru, jadi juga template barunya :)

Kalo emang acak-acakan dan gak nyambung dan berantakan dan lain-lain, maafkanlah, soalnya emang aku gak ngambil dari website apa-apa, aku bikin sendiri aja :D.

Pemakaian warna hitam dan hijau adalah ngikutin Muse yang emang udah agak digital gitu. Jadi aku ngikutin aja :D. Gambar yang ada di belakang blog title itu adalah salah satu gambar yang ada hubungannya sama Muse dan United States of Eurasia. Kuambil aja, karena aku suka sama gambarnya :D

Thanks for blogger, google, orang yang udah nyediain gambarnya, Fastnet, HP, dan tentunya, thanks to Allah yang udah ngasih aku kesempatan untuk ngubah template blog ini :) Read More..
