catatan online pribadi andry

  • 1. Apa kesan pertama anda saat bergabung di group Musik Klasik Indonesia (MKI) ?
    Anggotanya aktif-aktif, berpengetahuan, banyak info bagus jadi saya yang orang awam untuk musik klasik ini bisa lebih menikmati musik klasik secara live, menambah wawasan, mempertajam taste dan memantapkan musik klasik sebagai sumber inspirasi.

    2. Apa hal_hal yang anda sukai dari group MKI?
    Sangat informatif, dan kuis-kuisnya juga fun (apalagi kalau menang, heheh), jadi saya juga tahu harus start dari mana kalau mau mulai dengar2 musik klasik.

    3. Apa yang diperlukan MKI agar group ini bisa semakin berkembang?
    Coba ajak para dedengkot musik klasik Indonesia lain untuk bergabung, misalnya Addie MS & Maylaffayza

    4. Adakah info - info seputar musik klasik yang ingin anda ketahui? (yang belum di posting di MKI)
    (....) Ya
    (v) Tidak, sudah cukup info untuk album2 baru, pemain musiknya dsb yang lain tinggal cari di wikipedia.

    Jika Ya, apa saja info yang ingin anda ketahui?


    5. Menurut anda, Bagaimana pekembangan musik klasik di Indonesia? Menurut Anda, Apakah MKI sudah memberikan kontribusi dalam perkembangan musik klasik di Indonesia?

    Selain yang ditunjukkan oleh Addie MS & Maylaffayza, musik klasik di Indonesia masih diasosiasikan pada kalangan atas, dari konser2 bertiket mahal di hotel2 berbintang dsb. Bagi kalangan awam, musik klasik tdk lebih dari musik yang bikin ngantuk.

    Masih adakah dari generasi muda Indonesia sekarang ini yang membuat karya (composer) musik klasik? Itu saya penasaran.

    Ya, MKI sudah memberikan kontribusi yang cukup lumayan tapi memang harus take it slow, one man at a time. Jadi prosesnya seperti pohon yang tumbuh terus bercabang, tidak bisa langsung gembar-gembor buang biaya percuma. Classic is for anyone, but not everybody likes it.


    6. Apakah anda ingin menjadi koordinator MKI?
    (....) Ya
    (v) Belum/Tidak

Tanya (anonymous):

Bung Vadis, kemarin saya diskusi tentang novel perdana gitu
nah, kata anak2 PULPEN, novel perdana ga boleh tebal2, karena penulis ga mau ngambil resiko nerbitin buku berbudget tinggi yang belum tentu laku..
nah, pertanyaan saya, ada ga sih batasan ga tertulis tentang jumlah halaman novel perdana? kalo novel fantasi kan penuh deskripsi, jadi agak sulit dipersingkat..
trus, waktu bung vadis nyerahin naskah fireheart, sempet dikritik ketebelan ga?

Jawab:
(sori jadi disebarluaskan, karena saya rasa ini layak saya simpan dan bagi dgn yg lain)

memang sempat dikritik ketebelan, tapi masalah gak boleh tebal2 atau tidak itu jangan terlalu dipikirkan, yang penting deskripsinya dan ceritanya mengalir gak. Soal jadinya tebel atau tipis itu tergantung plot.

yg bikin ada batasan itu adalah pasar indonesia yg pada dasarnya cenderung memang antipati kalo ada orang indonesia yg bikin novel fantasi bersetting mirip eropa (kecuali segelintir fans fantasi yang sebagian tergabung dlm pulpen dsb) dan penerbit yg gak mau ambil resiko nerbitin buku tebel tapi dengan genre yg pasarnya ngebatasin tadi. jadi ya, dari segi komersil memang seharusnya jangan tebal2.

naskah gue ditolak gramedia, liliput dan gagasmedia juga mungkin dengan pertimbangan tsb, dan pasar juga rada enggan membeli karena harga buku jadi terlalu mahal. dilemanya juga: kalo deskripsi ditambah, buku jadi tambah tebal, dan kalo dibagi2 lagi jadi bbrp seri, plotnya jadi ancur.

dalam kasus gue juga, gue gak mau terlalu banyak pusing dgn batasan2 komersil tadi. walau bagaimanapun negatifnya kesan pasar, apalagi harus gue akui ilmu penulisan g juga blm begitu mantap, gue harus jalan terus. Mau ketebelan kek, kurang deskripsi kek, so what? Yg penting gue terus mengembangkan teknik penulisan gue lewat workshop2, seminar2, buku2 ttg penulisan dsb, kalau perlu buku 1 di-rewrite lagi dan re-publish dalam bentuk lain (utk rewrite jadi dilempar dalam bentuk game di fsaga.blogspot.com). soal penerbit, gue senang ada penerbit yang mau mendobrak batasan komersil tadi dan mempublish karya gue, dan gue harap dia mau menerbitkan karya2 gue yg berikutnya. yah, setidaknya 1 dari 10 di indo lah.

Buku 2 saat ini baru masuk bab 13 dari bab 7-14 di sana utk versi Bahasa Indonesia, and I won't ever stop, no matter what. I've put my heart, my dream and my passion in it, and I won't die in peace until I finished the job. Itu pendirian saya. Sisanya terserah anda.

Tanya (anonymous):
bung vadis, memang kemarin itu saya buat novel 410 halaman, tapi saya lupa pake spasi 1.5, berarti tebelnya bukan main kalo jadi novel..
nah, saya udah pakein spasi, dan saya cutting2, sekrang tinggal 393 halaman...
yang pengen saya tanyain,

1 jumlah halaman segitu kira2 udah cukup dimaklumi untuk diterbitkan blum bung? (masalahnya udah pake spasi 1.5)
2 kalopun biaya produksi kemahalan, apa ga bisa diteken dari kualitas kertasnya aja ya?

Andry Chang
Jawab:
1. Dengan spasi 1.5, waktu itu naskah novel gue setebal 330 halaman dan jadinya 500 halaman, kira2 begitulah hitungannya. Yang penting kamu sudah OK dan Pe-de dengan plot dan isi cerita kamu itu.

2. Benar. Sebaiknya usulkan agar kertasnya pakai yg daur ulang, istilahnya "Paperback". Kalau pakai kertas bagus, contohnya novel saya pakai metode "soft cover", harganya kemahalan, gak terjangkau oleh anak-anak SMP dan SMA.

yg penting tuh desain cover depan dan sinopsis cerita di cover belakang. kalau nanti perlu saran ttg itu, draftnya kirim saja ke saya biar saya lihat.

Cahaya fajar, siang benderang
tenggelam di malam kelam

Mentari merenung, adakah sinarnya
menghidupi makhluk segala?
Berharap, tak berkesah?

Akankah fajar baru menjelang?
Ataukah patah asa, akhir dunia?

Entahlah, mentari hari ini sirna
Telah berpancar sedaya upaya

Biarlah mentari esok berkiprah
dan hari ini tidur damai
di pelukan mesra purnama

Jika sang mentari terus bersinar,apakah ada asa yang menjelang ? Jika mentari telah sirna apakah asa dapat ber kata ? Bahwa esok mentari akan bersinar lagi ??

Andry Chang pada 22 Juni 12:28
selama masih ada mentari esok di dunia ini, masih ada asa. mentari hari ini cukuplah untuk hari ini.

  • bj: My life is an adventure to find home, to where I'll go back when I've had enough adventures.

    zin: Nope. Life is a medium for the holy spirit to work impacting the lives of others by you glorifying the living Christ.

    bj: yeah that too. but eventually you'll have to find a way home, your true home with god in heaven. that's when God sez "you have worked enough, you have glorified my name, now come, rest by my side." it's not entirely my thought, someone else told me that and i think he got a point.

    and this world... it's a battlefield, a jungle of adventures, and a field to sow, grow and reap.

    Q: I wonder how Argus Filch managed to keep on the job guarding Castle Hogwarts? It's like the most boring job of all.
    A:rumors said filch was paid 3 galleons per hour guarding hogwarts alone. that's why his name was filch, acronym of filthy rich.

    Q: Well then, where is all the money? He doesn't seem rich at all.
    A1: in gringotts, of course. and argus filch secretly donated a bit of his fortune to the world squib foundation. all rumors.
    A2: paying for a quick course in magic and mrs. norris' beauty treatment.
    A1: yeah, that too, lol.

God’s Work

A friend of mine talked to me yesterday, telling me about the things happened to him last Sunday. When he was on the way home by car about 11 PM at night, he witnessed a terrible accident just in front of him. A motorcycle – with rider and passenger – crossed lanes in high speed from the right, while from the left a white minibus also came in high speed, passing my car.

BAMM! Both vehicles crashed. The white minibus just sped away, avoiding more trouble than the damage on the car. The motorcycle was thrown, all with flying debris on the road and the two riders were thrown too. The rider seemed okay because of his helmet and physique, but the passenger, a woman of her late fifties got a nasty bump on her head and blood keep running from her wound. Seeing that, my friend stopped on the road, got out from his car and guide the old lady to his car.

At first, he meant to do first aid on that head wound, but as the lady complained all the time, "Oh, the blood won't stop! Help me Allah (like Moslems do), don't let me die..." my friend decided to take her to the nearest hospital he knows. He drove straight to the Emergency Ward and took the lady in there – there's no time to waste, no time to think too much and just finish the job. The medics treated her at once.

As compelled by hospital policies, my friend just waited there for the anyone from the lady's family members to come, erasing blood marks all over the back couch of his car. And then, some males from the family – her sons, including the bike rider. They thanked my friend two times and asked whether he saw the licence plate number of the white minibus who ran their mother down, and my friend said he didn't saw it, as it's dark at night. My friend deliberately didn't tell them his name, phone number etc., just told them just to drive and ride more carefully next time and just strolled back to his car and drive home.

As he finished his story, he told me that he really didn't want to get any credit of what he has done. He just did the job God has given him to do, given the chance. He also confessed that he used to be and still a carefree, apathetic, egoistic person who doesn't give a damn about others, but God has spurred him into action that night: don't think too much, just do it. He also said that actually, the old lady also did him a favor by removing the guilt that was in him for years, as he too have been a hit-and-runner (though it was not a terrible crash).

"Oh, well, another God's work was done," said my friend, his expression unchanging. "And I just go on and live my life, feeling like being a slightly better person than before."

A Near Death Experience

Andry Chang, my journal September 20, 2008

I just feel like I want to share something...

On my way to the Soul Revival Sermon by Reverend DR. Stephen Tong in Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, Jakarta, Indonesia September 19-21, 2008 today (Sep 20) by bus from North Jakarta, our bus was hit by a trailer truck. It was just a bump, fortunately, and the driver was seem sleepy – or he wasn't even a trained truck driver after all. Avoiding more trouble with the police, things were settled quickly and we continued the ride.

But still, it might have been a crash and for a moment there, a split-second, I thought I was going to die. Nevertheless, something bumped my mind hard. As you might perceive, if God wanted me to die yesterday, I would die and (probably) go back home (to heaven, i hope) and rest in peace in God's loving hands. Apparently, God has other plans for me and all of the 40+ passengers there. It was like He said, "Hey, you can't go home and rest now. There are still lots of work to do for you in this world. Missions to accomplish, fields to sow and grow, and lives to seek out. Your time isn't up yet."

So, that's what happened, and this is what I did afterwards. I'm doing the job by telling it to an old guy sitting next to me just after the sermon, and telling this to you through this journal.

Well, there's still lots of work to do, and things will get hectic for me from now on.

God bless you.

Tailing A Ferrari



Spotted a Ferrari driving by in da hood, and I idly trailing 'her' and took a shot at 'her'. Yeah, it's kinda dangerous filming when driving, and I won't do it again - ever!

It's my dream car, though. Some day I shall be driving in there and got tailed, not the other way around.

A little trivia:
What model of Ferrari is that?
