Eurovision Song Contest 2011 Second Semi Final

The Second Semi Final has done! poorly, like usual, I couldn't watch the performances LIVE. So I have to wait til BBC posts the videos in YouTube. hell bitch, StarWorld Asia why don't you broadcast it instead of that American Idol? well, not that I don't like American Idol... I like it, really! only I'm boreeeeed there's no more Simon and Paula you know! AND, Pia is eliminated already. She's deffinitely the best among those contestants. What the hell did America vote? lol but no worries much we still have James, right?

HEY!

what's the title of this post, by the way? alright.

on May 12th, the second semi final was held. though this year Eurovision is in Germany, we have A Friend In London! lol it's Denmark I mean. Actually, I didn't like it when the first time my cute-bum-chum friends introduced me the song. But now I like it, I just don't know why lol. "Come on boys come on girls... in this crazy crazy world..." keeps playing in my head.

And the other one I like is Sweden. the title of the song is Popular and sung by Eric Saade. Actually, I don't really like the song. Well, I like but not much lol. only Eric is just too cute to be not liked! He is so fit! and I'm GRRRRRR when I read someone's comment on Eric: "Justin Bieber's brother?" holly coconuts! where the hell have your eyes gone? here's the video.

when yearning-him-feeling attacks...

there is this guy, Aleksandar Vrteski, who plays as a goal keeper for Indonesian Premier League team Solo FC. he is a friend of Brad Jones, that's one of the reasons why I really wanted to meet him. And then on Saturday (about long ago), Sasha and I went to the Sumantri Stadium to watch him play YAY FUCK YEAH EXCITED! 
And... there we are! in the bloody stadium wohoo! we watched them play on VIP seat and I was like 'oh come ooooon Aleks don't let those arseholes score! you can do it!' haha. whistle blown. it's 2-1 for Solo FC yay! then after the game when the opponents already left the field, Solo FC players were still there. so were Aleks. I was still on my seat and discussed with Sasha if we should go down to the field or not.... and then I decided YUP I came to Aleks.

*body shaking* "hey Aleks nice game congrats! can I take a piture with you? just a moment?" 
*hot smile* "thanks yeah ofcourse"

YEHAYYY :) got it!

The players were in the bus already and ready to leave the stadium. Sasha and I watched them living and waved them 'byeeee' and then one of the players, David Micevski, looked at us and formed a heart using his hands to us WOHOOO aww moment. and NOW, I miss Aleks really bad. miss all the players too! if only they played in Jakarta every game... hahah. 

just now, my another friend, Adi, told Aleks (thru Twitter) that I miss him so fuckin freakin muchhhh. here's the result.

"GUYS"? hey Aleks it's ME who's missing you! not him so it shud've been "I miss you too" HAHA no problems though. hope to see ya in my dream tonight, Aleks.

It is such a pity that Norway didn't make it to the final. the song is good, got the beat, and I personally feel it sounds kinda world cup themed song. it's just energic! That's why I was so surprised that they're out. what the hell did Europe vote? Here I share you the video of Norway when in the 1st semi final.

But I have one favorite from this 1st semi final qualifiers. It's Finland! beautiful lyrics, good song, lovely voice.... for me, Finland deffinitely go 2nd after UK! if UK didn't win, so it must be Finland. Here you may enjoy the video.

Awesome isn't it? But I really hope this year's winner will be UK cause I just love this country and their song for this contest is splendid! Unlike last year when it's sung by Josh Dubovie, it is much better now and sung by Blue yay! I can't wait to see their awesomeness in the final! I'll share you the promotional video anyway!

And oh, tho I'm not from Europe but I really enjoy this show. I can't watch it live anyway but yet I watch it on YouTube haha thank god! so, who are your favorites?

"DANK JE, WILHELMUS!"

Wilhelmus van Nassouwe

Ben ik van Duitsen bloed
Den vaderland getrouwe
Blijf ik tot in den dood

Kutipan di atas diambil dari lagu kebangsaan yang tertua di dunia, The Anthem of Netherlands, Het Wilhelmus (The William). Lagu yang diciptakan sejak tahun 1568 namun baru diproklamirkan pada tahun 1932 ini berasal dari perjuangan Bangsa Belanda untuk mencapai kemerdekaan. Lirik ini ditulis sebagai mengingat jasa Wilhelmus van Oranje, atau dikenal juga dengan William dari Nassau, yang mengetuai pemberontakan Belanda terhadapan pemerintahan Spanyol dalam Perang Lapan Puluh Tahun. Tidak senang terhadap sentralisasi kekuasan politik dan dengan penganiayaan Protestan Belanda, William bergabung bersama pemberontak Belanda dan berbalik melawan pemimpin-pemimpinnya masa lalu. Sebagai pemberotak paling berpengaruh dalam politik, William berhasil mengantarkan Belanda ke dalam kesuksesan dalam perang melawan Spanyol. Namun kemudian, pada tahun 1580, William dideklarasikan sebagai penjahat oleh Raja Spanyol sebelum akhirnya dibunuh di Delft empat tahun kemudian.

Mengilas balik sedikit tentang sejarah Bangsa Belanda tersebut, dapat memperkuat asumsi yang berkata bahwakeberhasilan suatu bangsa tidak pernah lepas dari sejarah masa lalunya. Dan juga mengingatkan kita akan tokoh nasional sendiri, Ir. Soekarno, yang bersabda "JAS MERAH: Jangan Sekali-Sekali Melupakan Sejarah." Jika kita kaitkan asumsi tersebut dengan keberhasilan Belanda saat ini, tentunya sejarah masa lalu Belanda mempunyai peran yang cukup besar. Dimulai dari hal yang fundamental bagi suatu negara, lagu kebangsaan. Het Wilhelmus menjelaskan tentang pemberontakan William menuju keberhasilan Belanda. Dan yang menarik dari lagu kebangsaan ini adalah lagu ini ditulis dengan perspektif orang pertama, seakan-akan lagu tersebut benar-benar William yang mengungkapkannya. Melalui lagu kebangsaan tersebut, bangsa Belanda mau tidak mau jadi mengetahui sejarah bangsanya sendiri, mengetahui perjuangan William pada masa lalu demi mengangkat harkat dan martabat bangsa Belanda. Terlebih lagi, lagu kebangsaan ini selalu dinyanyikan di even-even internasional seperti halnya sepakbola. "Kepada tanahair aku berbakti, hingga hayatku yang terakhir" Dengan khidmat mereka menyanyikan lagu kebangsaan mereka, ditambah dengan lirik yang menggunakan perspektif orang pertama, seakan membuat mereka semua merasakan perjuangan pemimpinnya masa lalu, William, dalam membawa Belanda ke ladang kesuksesan. Dan mungkin dari situlah orang-orang Belanda mewarisi sifat ingin sukses, berhasil, dan maju. Dengan didukung oleh keinginan yang kuat dan juga sumber daya manusia yang tinggi, Belanda kini telah menjelma menjadi salah satu negara terbaik di dunia. Masyarakat kincir angin modern kini terus berinovasi dalam segala bidang. Sebuah negara yang memiliki luas terbilang kecil, Belanda mampu membuat dirinya untuk disebut sebagai bangsa yang besar yang mempunyai pengaruh kuat dalam dunia internasional. Dimulai dari pelabuhan perdagangan internasional mereka yang terkenal, Rotterdam Port, yang merupakan pelabuhan tersibuk di Eropa hingga merambat ke sistem pendidikan yang bisa dibilang 'gudangnya beasiswa' bagi masyarakat nasionalnya maupun internasional.

Oleh karena itu, dengan semangat Wilhelmus, Belanda modern kini mampu memikat masyarakat dunia untuk singgah di negaranya. Dan tentunya bagi para pelajar internasional yang ingin mencicipi indahnya budaya baru dan bertemu dengan pelajar dari berbagai penjuru dunia. Termasuk diantaranya adalah saya sendiri!

Dank Je, Wilhelmus!
