Got Robert Sweet of STRYPER's drum stick @ Java Rocking Land

After 22 years of waiting, I finally got the chance to see STRYPER performing live in front of me, yeahhh... it's like a dream come true

I first recognize this band when I was in junior high school back in 1988 from their video "I believe in you" and soon after that become a huge fans, collecting all the LP released. Robert Sweet's cool drumming style also has attracted me to learn how to play drums (let's not talk about my poor musical career, ok? who cares anyway LOL)

So it's a dream come true @ Java Rocking Land 2010 last October, and it even a bonus when I realize it was Tim Gaines who play bass on the stage, so I was like "OMG.. original line up..!!!"
And you could never imagine how I felt seeing Michael Sweet doing solos just 1,5 metres away from my very face!!!

At the end of the show Robert throws some of his drum stick to the audience, and I was lucky enough to catch one of them :)  


Ini dia stick drum dari Robert Sweet komplit dgn signaturenya











Doi kadang turun ke stage wing sebelah kanan panggung, posisi gw pas di depannya







Tim Gaines is Back...!!!



Sepintas mengingatkan gw pada Metallica's Kirk Hammet, tapi gw yakin Oz Fox jauh lebih oke nge-gitarnya

Iron Maiden : Tonight in Jakarta

Wohooo...




Akhirnyaaa...

Akhirnya dapat juga crayfish jenis Cherax Papuanus/Peknyi (atau biasa di sebut LAT black tiger)

Sejak mulai jalanin hobi pelihara crayfish (atau di indonesia akrab dengan sebutan "Lobster air tawar), awal 2009 lalu, selalu penasaran cari2 jenis papua atau jenis2 eksotis lainnya.

Pernah dapat sepasang Cherax Sp Bluemoon yang cantik, dengan telaten berusaha supaya pasangan itu segera kawin & berkembang biak, tapi gagal karena sang betina gak bertahan lama, tewas saat berusaha untuk molting (diduga pH air ketinggian). Sementara sang jantan bertahan sekitar 6 bulanan, coba2 di gabung sama betina  dari cherax destructor (yabby) sapa tau aja doi mupeng & mau kawin, ternyata enggak tuh ehehehe... sampai akhirnya bluemoon jantan itu menyusul pasangannya ke alam fana.

Kemarin, 06/02 nggak sengaja ke tempat tukang ikan hias langganan, eeehh betapa kagetnya liat di salah satu aquariumnya ada cherax papua, total ada 7 ekor, di kasih 6 ekor, "sisanya buat display" kata bang Syawal si juragan ikan.

So, akhirnya, setelah menanti kurang lebih 2 tahunan gw berhasil pulang mambawa 6 ekor Cherax Papua dengan komposisi 2 jantan 4 betina, mudah2an bisa mengembangbiakkan cherax jenis ini...
