CS Bandung Writers Club 6# Gathering, 07 Nov 2013: Hilang (Lost/Disappear/Missing)

Hi guys!

On this 5th gathering we will bring up "Hilang (Lost/Disappear/Missing)" as our theme to write.

The first time I heard this theme suggested by Uti reminds me of one Coldplay. They have used that word for two of their songs.

1) "Everything's Not Lost" on "Parachutes" album

"If you ever feel neglected
If you think that all is lost
I'll be counting up my demons, yeah
Hoping everything's not lost"

2) "Lost!" on "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends"

"Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I'm across"

Well, come and join us!

Bring any idea of yours about our theme either literally or metaphorically and transform it into any writing piece!

Date and Time: 7 Nov 2013, 7:30 PM - 22:00 PM ('till drop)
Venue: Dakken Todays Koffie, Jl. R.E. Martadinata No. 67, Riau. (Hint: next to Cascade factory outlet).

See you there!

Happy writing!

CS Bandung Writers Club 4# Gathering, 31 Oct 2013: Runaway

Hi guys!

After having been skipped for two weeks, we'd like to gather again with the upbringing theme "Runaway".

Hmm... I believe that there must be some idea crossing on your mind right after hearing theme. For me, somehow it reminds me of an old old romantic comedy movie starred by Julia Roberts and Richard Gere titled "Runaway Bride". *LOL*

Come and join us!

Bring any idea of yours about our theme either literally or metaphorically and transform it into any writing piece!

Date and Time: 31 Oct 2013, 7:30 PM - 22:00 PM ('till drop)
Venue: Todays Koffie, Jl. Ir. H. Juanda (Dago) No. 374 Bandung (hint: from McD simpang going uphill, the coffee shop is on the right side, around 100m before Sheraton)

See you there!

Happy writing!

CS Bandung Writers Club 3# Gathering, 16 Oct 2013: Sacrifice

Hi guys!

Though it may be late, I'd love to congratulate Happy Ied Adha for all Moslem colleagues who celebrate that holy feast which is also called Feast of the Sacrifice.

Still in the same week which the spirit of that feast still lingers in the air, I'd love to raise "Sacrifice" as the theme for our 3rd gathering.

Though we may not as great as prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) who had great heartiness to sacrifice his young first-born son Ismail (Ishmael) as an act of allegiance to Allah’s order and his son’s acceptance to being sacrificed, before Allah intervened to provide Abraham with a lamb to sacrifice instead, I believe we have had our own act or story of sacrifice no matter how small and simple it was, haven’t we?

Or maybe we have been inspired by sacrifice done by some people surrounding us.

Or maybe we have another interpretation or link about “Sacrifice”.

I personally link that word to my must-be-sung song every time I go k-ok i.e. My Sacrifice (Creed) :D

Come on, join with us at Paris van Java Coffee Shop (NOT MALL!), Hegarmanah, Setiabudi, Bandung. (Hint: next to Borma, from downhill it’s before Geger Kalong, in the same building with Daun Pisang Restaurant). 19:30 – 22.00 (actually, until drop)

Bring and share any idea of yours!

Transform it into writing product no matter how simple it will be!

Salam Tulis Menulis,

Ariana

Venue: Kopi Progo, Jalan Progo, Bandung Wetan, Bandung, West Java 40115, Indonesia
Time: 19.30 PM - drop

The more the merrier!

Cheers!

CS Bandung Writers Club 1# Gathering, 03 Oct 2013: Eureka Moment

Hi guys!

CS Bandung Writers Club Bandung has just been established and the theme for its first gathering is 'Eureka Moment'.

Based on its etymology, Eureka is literally translated into 'I have found(it)'. That exclamation is famously attributed to the Greek scholar Archimedes. He proclaimed that word when he was in his bath tub and suddenly realized that he had just found the solution of the problem posed by Hiero of Syracuse. He was so excited and it led him to leap out of his bath tub and ran through the streets of Syracuse naked just to share his discovery.

For more recent time, Eureka moment may be associated with the last part of each Dora the Explorer episode. The time she and Boot (her monkey best friend) have just solved their assignment and happily, with her caprioles, she will shout, "We made it. We made it. We made it! Horray!" (Please forgive this childish part :P)

Well, actually I have been inspired to use this word as our first theme by the book written by Haruki Murakami titled "What I Talk When I Talk About Running". The book contains beautiful memories and intertwined obsessions with running and writing of its writer. In the second chapter, with his vivid memories and insight he wrote about his Eureka moment when he decided to be a writer. 

For some people though the idea has been deep rooted on their mind it's not easy to make it come true. There often be many lame excuses for us to procrastinate and even let the idea vanish into the air. As a geek, borrowing form physics term, I interpret that Eureka moment is the time when we have big impulse to change our momentum to do something.

Well, do you have any other interpretation of Eureka Moment? or have you even ever experienced your Eureka Moment?

Well just your bring idea and share it through writing on our (first) club gathering at Potluck Coffee Bar and Library (Potluck Kitchen), Jl. H. Wasid (Bagusrangin) No. 31, 7.30 PM - 10.00 PM (or I may say, until drop).

Hope to see you soon there.
