What I Think About Zedd's New Album

So I actually got the True Colors album quite a while ago. And I have listened to it several times. It simply is awesome. I'm not like a really really super committed EDM fanboy. But the kind of music that Anton Zaslavski makes is simply different. I know that EDM is a actually a large music genre and there are a lot of sub-genres in it but that's about what I know. My knowledge isn't really that deep when it comes to EDM and I don't know what EDM sub-genre that Zedd specialises in. But I can definitely tell that it's different.

When I say "different", I'm not only talking about the tunes and the beats and the drops or whatever. I'm also talking about the lyrics. Every song that Zedd makes always tells a story and I find that awesome. It's not like AronChupa's Albatraos that tells about a mouse named Lorry and suddenly it had something to do with the word "albatraos" which I thought was a name of a bird but in the end turned out to mean "a strong, independent woman" in god knows what language. I think that music is one of tons of medias out there to share stories through. And Zedd did exactly that through this album. He told stories about falling in love, experiencing heart breaks of some sort, showing your true colors, those kind of stuff. He really is telling something through his songs. And it really is that awesome.

One of my his songs that I like the most in the True Colors album is "Daisy" which was sang by Julia Michaels. From my understanding, it was a story about someone named Daisy (oh, that's not obvious) and how the we experience the singer's love to him or her (no idea what gender). It was a simple song. But I find it really romantic and powerful in it's lyrics. There's a part where the lyrics said "I would take the light out the stars to help you see. Anything to guide you straight to me." And I was just like "How the hell did he come up with lyrics like these??" Zedd is clearly more than a DJ and that's exactly why I love his music.

Have you listened to the True Colors album? Go buy it then! I guarantee you will not be pissed. And after you've bought it please do tell me what you think about the album itself and Zedd's music in general. See ya, lads...

Speech Script: Being an Introvert

Hey, Guys. I thought I'll share another speech script today. I used this script when I was competing in a competition held by a Senior High in Bantul, Yogyakarta Special Area. I got 1st in that competition so I think this one is pretty good. And I also wanna say that in this speech script I slipped in a little personal story of mine. So it's gonna be a little hard if you're going to copy it haha... So here you go. I’ve always felt that I’m different compared to most people. At least compared to most students in my school. On break time, they like to gather in groups and gossip about someone or chat about the current trends. I prefer not to. If I necessarily have to get involved in a group chat outside my class, I always try not to do the unnecessary. Not to talk too much. Some people say that I’m shy and weird. Some even say I’m arrogant and antisocial. The truth is, I’m an “introvert”. So ladies and gentlemen, the honourable judges, and my fellow competitors, this morn...

My Not So Professional Take on Indonesia's Education System

    So recently I just had this little realisation. I was about to call it an epiphany but I thought using that word would be a dramatisation, so for the moment let's just call it a minor realisation. So I live in Indonesia which if you don't know already, is a developing country. We have so many things to be proud about like our astonishingly diverse culture and our unique culinary taste. But education isn't one of those things. Education is far from those things. Like our education sucks. I don't exactly know the reason to that. I mean I haven't done a research or anything but I might have some ideas and hypotheses to the situation. The human resource, the gap between islands Firstly, I think the problem comes from the not-so-advanced framework of the whole education system itself. Indonesia comes 4th globally in terms of population. There's about 250 million of us. And yet, our education system doesn't have enough human resource to support...

What's Next?

It's been a long time since I've written another post. A lot of things have happened since then. I believe the last time I posted something on this blog, I was in the middle of my studies and I was in no mood of sharing anything to any medium or audience whatsoever. I was in a bit of a hectic situation and my focus was all over the place. But thankfully, now that things have settled down, I want to write a blog post that serves as an update and also as a sharing medium where I intend to put my plans for the future on the table for everyone to see. I'm not sure what I'm trying to achieve through doing that but I hope it could and would give you readers out there a tiny bit of something. In terms of my current academic situation, well, there is none. I am now thankfully free of any academic situation. I've finished all my duties in high school and I as of the 13th of May I have officially graduated from High School. It's been a wild 3 years and I really feel...
