Sep, 12th 2024

I hope, writing is still my healing
Writing in this page, writing to you
I am enough to understand the situation
But what i value to myself is on my control
Not from outsiders

30 years enough to be selfish
I did everything when i was aware
I help and i initiate.. because i want it
It supposed to be like that on my side
It was not your force
It was pure my dedication
But if the feedback is not good enough now
I will accept it
No matter what, it was my decision

I have to visit some places in this city before i leave
I am used to moving since i was a kid tho
So it will be easier to learn and adapt in the new places
I hope so
It is in my dreams
I have to pursue it
I don't know where to go but with myself i believe
I know what's the right path for me
To live in my own happiness
To help myself first
And to live with no regrets anymore

I Can't Believe It

When your doctor said "this is not a life-threatening illness" it means you as a patient have to adapt and accept your pain every day or forever? Am i wrong? I just need help to cure my pain. It is been a year since August 2023. I don't whether Covid that causing it, or my motobike accident in 2013 or anomaly since i was a kid. If the doctors are confused, then what should we do as a patient ?

This is not a life-threatening illness but make me want to die. It annoys me every single day, every single hour and minutes. I can't sleep well, i can't rest i can't do normal activities as much as i want. I have been patiently, optimistically, waiting for me meeting the right doctor. Now it's been 3 months with the right hands but i don't see any changes. What should i do? Am i not allowed to be sad, mad, frustrate, depressed. Should i be fake happy? I've been there.. I tried to act normal so no one ask about my condition, even my family. No one ask. I have some strangers in my life who cares about me. Sometimes it's both make me happy and sad. 

I have talk to them who is cured. They're so kind, telling me what to do since the first screening. It is not easy to get here today. I have to meet several doctors, i have to accept their words that they want me to adapt with my illness. "It is just a sound of your blood flow, so what can we do?" Damnit.

I've been so patient, i've mad, i've cried, i've tried to do normal stuff like normal people without a rare disease. I avoid toxic people, toxic positivity, fake cares, i just avoid fake people that make my life heavier. It is one of stress relieving. It is a way of medication too. 

But i am just tired. Not like i am not being grateful. It is a pure human feeling, and it is my rights to cry or sad or mad. It is my rights to search the cure.

Single Baru! Minggu Ke2 September '24

What's up?

Don't let dreams just be dreams, lagu pertama yang berhasil kutulis tahun 2017. Yeap, 7 tahun berlalu, banyak yang ku pelajari dari songwriting, music production, mengerucutkan dan membentuk standard supaya tidak terlalu lebar. It helps me a lot. Ini juga termasuk progress besar-besaran yang aku lakuin akhir-akhir ini. Selain fokus medication, survive with wfh job, aku nggak pernah stop bikin musik. Banyak hal yang gagal tapi lebih enak kalo mereview yang berhasil. Itu nggak selalu tentang uang kan?! So, first skill unlocked, secondly.. i am still doing this, music and writing. 

Don't let dreams just be dreams terinspirasi dari film Sing Street. Punya nuansa happy sad dan pilihan chord yang simple dan lirik yang jujur. Lagu ini sebenarnya sudah sering dibawakan secara offline di beberapa panggung gigs lokal di Balikpapan. Bukan lagu yang banyak emosi, lebih cocok didengar saat bepergian, driving if you drive a car, because i am not haha

Don't let dreams just be dreams akan tersedia di berbagai platform musik digital di minggu kedua September 2024. Sebagai jejak dari proses pembuatannya, aku akan update di blog ini rutin, just for myself in the future. Kali ini artwork dikerjakan oleh artist asal Balikpapan juga, ipn.dd. So brilliant!

Mind & The City 2024

I maybe forgot about the topic Mind & The City. But i am here now to write another episode of that. So.. how are you doing ? I hope everything's going well.

I don't know to whom i talk to in this blog. But i believe each year my visitors coming from different phases of my life. Well, i am 30 years old now. I can't imagine how happy i am now that Allah still give me chance so i can be a better version of myself from the past. 

Not like what i've thought in the past, when i was in my 20's.. i was too afraid to turn 30. 
"How it will be ?"
"Will i be successful?"

The fact that i am a thinker, yes, i am a Pisces and my MBTI is INTJ. How can i don't think about my future? 

It turns out enjoyable, even if i know i am not that successful the way people think, by based on my standard, i already got what i wanted all these times. Those recording tools, music stuff, skills that I've learned and still learning... 

I have no full time job right now, it is been a half of year.
But I am now a freelancer (smiling) :) :) :)
The long waiting all this time,
the submissions, the sign ups in every platforms
finally, one of them give me a chance to feel how it's like to be a freelancer.
it is just started in February this year (2024), but i already got clients from Ireland, UK, Singapore, Indonesia and USA.

If you need me to help on your music project, simply click on the page Order Music and for my portfolio please check on my Youtube Channel or feel free to contact me on my Whatsapp Business. Thank you in advance, have a nice day! ^_^

Half of 2023

December, 2023

Rumah sakit yang sama dengan bulan September lalu, namun berbeda poli. Poli ini pun bukan yang pertama melainkan yang kedua. Timelinenya di mulai dari bulan Agustus 2023. THT-KL pertama di RS Restu Ibu, dua kali kunjungan namun belum reda setelah mengkonsumsi obat flu/alergi, vitamin saraf, dan pelancar darah.

Pun, belum jelas apa diagnosa pastinya. Self-diagnosed bukan hal yang baik, tapi nggak bisa dipungkiri, begitu banyak pikiran di dalam kepala sejak 5 bulan lalu. Sedari awal ke fasilitas kesehatan, diagnosanya berbeda-beda, namun pastinya seputar masalah telinga. Dari 'otitis media, unspecified' dan terakhir kali ke spesialis THT-KL, diagnosanya 'Tinnitus'.

Berbagai artikel online aku baca dan begitu banyak faktor-faktornya, begitu luas sampai akhirnya mengerucut sendiri akibat inisiatif membaca dengan seksama. Self-diagnosed tidak baik, namun so far, ini mengarah kepada Pulsatile Tinnitus, subjective. Begitu banyak juga penyembuhannya dari orang-orang yang sudah sembuh, salah satunya adalah operasi gigi geraham bungsu. Satu hal yang masih aku takuti sejak 2015 sampai akhirnya berani di tahun ini. Ikhtiar ke dokter bedah mulut, RS Balikpapan Baru, namun rontgen dilakukan di RS Beriman. Lalu, aku terbiasa dengan aktifitas itu, drama bolak-balik faskes, demi mengetahui penyebab pasti penyakitku. 

Sampai sini, apakah ada yang salah dengan keputusanku? Aku merasa sedikit kesalahan, karna tidak percaya dengan dokter THT-KL yang pertama. Kesalahan itu diperkuat dengan statement dokter bedah mulut yang mengatakan "impacted teeth tidak ada hubungannya dengan tinnitus. dokter nggak janji ya kalau operasi gigi bisa menyembuhkan tinnitusnya"

Aku menjawab, "iya dok ngga papa"

Tetap harus dilakukan, karna akan menabrak gigi depannya. Dan kebetulan gigi yang harus diangkat pertama adalah sebelah kanan atas, sisi yang sama dengan telinga yang mengalami tinnitus.

Timeline lengkap:

1 Aug - pertama kali terjadi di telinga kanan

6 Aug - semakin intens 24jam, susah tidur

9 Aug - ke THT diresepkan cetirizine, mecobalamin, methylprednisolone

16 Aug - ke THT diresepkan flunarizine, mecobalamin, cereton

27 Aug - ke dokter bedah mulut

9 Oct - operasi gigi geraham bungsu kanan atas

suara ditelinga berangsur hilang dan jarang muncul

Akhir Nov - pilek nggak sembuh-sembuh, hidung kiri mampet, suara ditelinga muncul lagi intens


Kemungkinan-kemungkinan

Akhirnya, setelah menunggu seminggu karna dokter THT yang dituju masih cuti, 12 Desember jadi hari pertama konsultasi dengan beliau. Sangat ramah dan konsultasinya berisi, edukatif dan membicarakan kemungkinan-kemungkinan yang bisa menjadi sebab terjadinya tinnitus di telinga kananku. Diagnosa baru pun muncul dengan nama 'Oklusi Tuba Eustachius'. Aku lalu di beri obat pilek, lambung, radang, dan obat semprot hidung. Lalu diarahkan untuk mengikuti terapi sinar sebanyak 10x di poli rehabilitasi medik di rumah sakit yang sama.

Timeline terbaru:

12 Dec - ke THT yang baru

14 Dec - Terapi Rehabilitasi Medik pertama1

8 Dec - Terapi ke2

Sampai dengan terapi ke 7 tidak ada perubahan. Aku dirujuk ke sp. THT di RS lain yang paling lengkap di Balikpapan.

My First EP 'Bloom' is Out!

I've just released an EP, the lyric videos are now available on my youtube channel. 'Bloom' means like a flower blooming and also means i'm not done yet (pronounce as 'belum' in bahasa Indonesia means not yet). 

Contains 3 songs including Restarting that i've been released on last March (2023), i think it has incomplete vibes because at the start, i want to make an album, so this EP is just like an intro of the story. But nevermind. 

Mostly, the songs production was done by me and Aan (Bedroom Dweller Records) and the rest was by me and my friend A.M (photos, videos, lyric videos). 

Hmm, i have no much words to say because i am literally so tired and happy at the same time, mixed feelings. But this EP is for myself. I remember i started to learn to write a song since 2015 and began to produced in 2017 and this EP itself planned to be produced since 2019. It was a long waits. The X factor is my production skills such as mixing and mastering is not that far, so it took some years to learn and know what i want. Because, most of time, what i listen to and what i make is totally different.

Now, it's worth it. Seeing that my things are done is better than hoping the progress runs well. I know both are important but i prefer to focus on the result now so i have to make the progress is run well.





BLOOM EP

  1. Restarting
  2. Bargain 
  3. Accompany Me

Track 1 - Restarting

Restarting is a song about me restarting my music life by believing that i can do the production alone and i don't want someone to change my plan, my songs, my anything in the progress time. And also i quit hoping that people or community will help me to produce and promote my songs. Because eventho i love my very first single 'If I Knew', it is just not like me. Not what i wanted, but it still sounds beautiful. The production is awesome. I can't lie. But yeah, Restarting is about me starting my own journey as a bedroom musician. It all began at my bedroom. This song was made in 2019 when i got a new job and moved on from the studio.

Track 2

Bargain is a song for my belated father. This is the hardest song to sing. For me it took years to reach the Bargain stage. I use the word from the stage of grieving. The song was made in 2020.

Track 3

Accompany Me is amazing song about my anxiety seeing friends in their hard times. Seeing friends in college and working all day. Trouble sleeping and all, thinking about being me to help them. 

Can We Call This As A Photoshoot ?

So, i have a few photos here to accompany my new songs. Though i didn't make a booklet, at least i can share some photos along with my songs online or through social media as well as i share it here. Hehe, i enjoy it and i hope you enjoy the EP too. Thanks for visiting around! 



Thanks to:
Aan from Bedroom Dweller Records
Ayu, my bestfriend. to help me making the videos and photos
Irghi, quality checks
Archguitars, for always technical support especially for my guitars, my main equipment.

I hope we can work in the future too.
