All I need is You

I'm entering a strange zone in my life

And I think these are the hardest parts I’ve ever faced

Where I have to stand here alone by myself

Nobody knows what I am facing now

These are the coldest days of my life

Where I do not have any places to take shelter

Except You, my Lord

You always be there for me

Sometimes my tears fall

I just want to get out of this zone immediately

But I know, You are always here beside me

And never let me to be alone

I’m sure I can pass this zone

Because You help me when I'm in distress

When I fall down, You raise me up

Then I realize, all I need is You

Moonlight Sonata XVII

‘Sweet seventeen’, maybe we often hear these words. Everybody interprets them in different ways. Not a few people celebrate it by holding a big party. But it is fine. However, for me, what is most important is that I start a new stage in my life. A stage where I have to be more mature both in thought and action. Moreover, I must start to understand how to face the life, how to love the fellow human being, and how to build a relationship with God, fellow human being, and environment. And this starts from today, I will try to achieve this goal as my age increases. Therefore, from this moment onward I will choose a theme in each birthday of mine. Theme, I need it for aspiration guidance, self-control guidance, and my future life journey.

If I have to say, which was the most unforgettable birthday celebration for me? I will say my fourth birthday. Because my birthday was celebrated at one of the hospitals in Jakarta. Yes, at that time I was being treated in the hospital because I had typhoid illness. I still remember very well, the wheelchair I used was decorated with balloons. The doctors, nurses, my parents, my parents’ family who is in Jakarta sang “Happy Birthday”. This was very touching and unforgettable. The other lasting birthday was when I was five year old. I celebrated it at an orphanage in Bali. I tried to share my happiness to them and as well as my thanksgiving because I had recovered.

My seventeenth birthday theme is “Moonlight Sonata XVII”. Why did I choose it as my birthday theme? I think, almost everybody knows that Moonlight Sonata is a song which was composed by the German pianist, Ludwig Van Beethoven on 1802 which was dedicated to his seventeen-year-old pupil, Giulietta Guicciardi. He loved her very much. Unfortunately, their relationship was not approved by a Giulietta’s parents because their social status was different.

Beethoven made the sonata for a girl who he loved very much with all his heart. From here, we can learn how to love the fellow human being. Not only for our special ones, but also our parents, friends, and the universe, and even those who are hostile to us. We should love people sincerely, regardless of their social status, appearance, etc. As the Chilean poet, and literature Nobel laureate in 1971, Pablo Neruda said; “I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way.”

Actually, what is love? Maybe it is a bit hard to be answered. But for me, love is a sacred feeling which is possessed and comes from self-consciousness of each person to pursue true happiness. But, people often do not want to accept the risk that comes along with it. After they face the risk, it is not infrequent they protest if they do not get it. It is good for us to imitate Beethoven who sincerely loved Giulietta and he was ready to accept the risk of loving her.

Myself and My Future Aspiration

            When asked, who are you? Everyone has their own answer. As for me, I will say I am a girl who loves music very much. When I was in elementary school, I wanted to be a doctor, but also a pianist. Why did I want to be a doctor? It was because I had a serious illness when I was 4 years old. I had typhus and there was liquid in my pericardium. I saw how the doctor helped me and gave me some medicine that gave me a ‘moon face’ (a medical term).The doctor was also very nice. She was very friendly and reassured me so that I would not be afraid. This experience inspired me. For this reason I want to help others by becoming a doctor. And why did I want to be a pianist? Both of them are so different. I wanted to be a pianist because I love playing piano since I was in kindergarten. Playing the piano makes me feel calm and I have a connection with my piano as if I can ‘talk’ to it.

Time flies so fast, I was in junior high school. There was also change in my mind, especially about my dreams. I started to be interested in business, this was because my parents and my extended family are businessmen and businesswomen. I saw how they gave others the opportunity to work. It is good because the rate of unemployment in Indonesia amounts to 7.24 million people in August 2012. And the climax of unemployment and poverty is criminality. Criminality will make the country paralyzed in every aspect, economically, socially, politically, culturally, etc.

I am currently studying in a public high school in Denpasar, Bali. I have a new idea. I want to be a doctor and I want to build a hospital. Because I love playing piano, I want to specialize in music therapy. It has shown its effectiveness in treating symptoms of many disorders, including Amnesia, Alzheimer, Parkinson’s disease, etc. I think Indonesia should develop music therapy because there are many functions of music therapy besides curing symptoms of some disorders, for example, it can help improve our intelligence. The effect of music therapy which can improve our intelligence is called ‘Mozart effect’. Based on scientific research by Franches Rauscher et al from University of California, after 36 students listened to Sonata K.448  by Mozart for 10 minutes, they scored 8 to 9 higher on the spatial IQ subtest Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales than after they listened to relaxation instructions or do not listen anything at all. This activity lasts only 10 to 15 minutes. Besides that, it can also improve our memory. This can happen because the part of the brain that processes music is located adjacent to the memory. So when a person trains the brain with music therapy, he is also automatically training his memory.

My hospital in the future will be different from other hospitals. I want to build an international hospital. So other countries can admit the existence of the hospital. I wish it can be the first international hospital with free service for paupers. Then other countries can adopt the same model and foreigners can trust the hospital too. The hospital will be a hospital with the best quality and serves its patients with love. The profit will be obtained from the pharmacy and other facilities. I will also find donors who want to help fund the special free service for paupers provided by my hospital. I want to make people realize that there are still many people who needs our help. I am inspired by Mother Teresa. She cared for paupers before caring for herself. She cared all for paupers with great love. She once said “Work without love is slavery.”

As Aristotle said “Man is by nature a social animal; an individual who is unsocial naturally and not accidentally is either beneath our notice or more than human. Society is something that precedes the individual. Anyone who either cannot lead the common life or is so self-sufficient as not to need to, and therefore does not partake of society, is either a beast or a god.” We need one another. So, to build the hospital I will need a pharmacist, a psychologist, nurses, internists, pediatricians, etc. The hospital cannot run without them. But I have to be able to manage it. I have to make all staffs feel comfortable and they must be loyal to their duty. I also have to ask them to serve the patients with great love and care. So, the patients will feel comfortable and loved by the people who want to sincerely help them.

High Scorers' Concert 2010 at Jogja

Tanggal 18 April 2010 lalu, aku mengikuti High Scorers' Concert di Hyatt Regency Hotel, Yogyakarta. Saat itu aku memainkan piano. Konser ini diikuti oleh 27 orang dari Yogyakarta, Purwokerto, dan Denpasar yang mendapatkan nilai tertinggi untuk instrumen dan grade di masing-masing daerah. Aku sangat senang bisa mengikuti konser ini. Karena aku mempunyai teman-teman baru. Banyak anak-anak yang sudah ahli memainkan alat musik meski umur mereka masih belia. Aku sangat kagum dengan mereka. Aku mengikuti ujian grade 4 piano tahun 2009, dan karena mendapat hasil distinction, aku mengikuti konser ini. Tahun ini aku ikut ujian grade 5, semoga saja hasilnya memuaskan. Hehehe.
