Amsterdam

(dermaga laut/pelabuhan dan tempat kita bisa foto dengan baju khas belanda dan jalan2 naik kapal keliling2)

Dari central stasiun Amsterdam naik bus arriva jurusan Edam, berhenti di Volendam. Bus nomor 110 atau 116 atau 118. Harga tiket 6euro perorang (harga 2009/2010), ini tiket pulang pergi pakai tiket 6euro itu.

2. Red Light district

Tempat yang harus dikunjungi, karena Belanda terkenal dengan free prostitution, free drugs, and old building =)

Kalian bisa lihat “dagangan” mereka, kalau lagi jualan, warna lampunya merah (namanya juga red light district)…Jauh berbeda dengan di Indonesia tentunya…Hanya hati2 saja dengan pencopet…Kalian akan bisa ditawari drugs dijalan haha…So beware >_<

Cara kesana dari stasiun Amsterdam central tinggal jalan...Ini juga dekat dengan china town dan gay street (tempat mayoritas gay berkumpul)…

Indonesian Folk Songs Medley

The medley is composed by Alin and Tammy. It covers several traditional folk songs from different regions in Indonesia. Embed video was recorded in a ppin meeting, without Alin's permission ;P
The following is the lyric of the songs

Tanduk Majeng (Madurese song from East Java)

Ole olang paraona alla jere

Olle ollang ala jere ka Madure

Manuk Dadali (Sundanese song from West Java. It describes the might of a falcon)

Mesat ngapung luhur jauh di awing-awang

Meberkenjangjana bangun taya karingrang

Kukuna ranggaos reujeungpamatukna ngeluk

Ngepak mega bari hiberna tari myuruwuk

Alu siau (Batak song from Sumatra)

Maragam-ragam doanggo sita-sita di hitamanisia

Marasing-asing doanggo pangidoan di ganup-ganup jolma

Hamoraon haga beon hasa ngapon ido di lui na deba

Dina deba asal matarbarita goarna taheee..

Rasa Sayange (Mollucas song from Maluku)

Rasa sayang e.. rasa sayang sayang e

He liat dari jauh rasa sayang sayang e

Ramko rambe yamko (Papua song from Irian Jaya)

Heee,, ramko rambe yamko aronawa kombe 2x

Ending : indomie (it's not a traditional folk song, just a jingle from Indomie commercial)

Dari sabang sampa merauke

Dari Timor sampe ka talaut

Indonesia Tanah airku

Walau beda tetap satu….

-Fin-

Well done, girls!

ps. medley ini sebenarnya ditujukan buat mengisi acara keseniannya PPI Eindhoven, berdasarkan adanya usulan "gimana kalo pipin nyumbang paduan suara?". jadi teman2 yg berminat buat ikutan dan latihan bareng, bisa contact2 lwt facebook atw email. btw, medley ini masi kurang pieces dari kalimantan dan sulawesi, jadi prototype ini mungkin bisa berubah lagi. mudah2an bisa tercapai program ngisi acara keseniannya ;)

happy (lazy) sunday!!

The newborn PPI Nijmegen!

There was once PPI Arnhem Nijmegen. However, due to the distance and increasing number of students in both cities, the organization split. On the cold cold 26 February 2010, 'Nijmegeners' (self-proclaimed nick name by some Indonesian students in Nijmegen :p) gave birth to PPI Nijmegen. It aims to facilitate communication and good 'silahturahmi' among the Indonesian students, especially in Nijmegen. Other reasons such as practicing organization skills, exploring the interest in music and sport are also there, but creating some sort of 'family or home' for the students is still the main ambition ;D

Not to mention, to support PPIN's activities, people in charge of some departments were chosen by the elected chairman. The committees in PPIN are as following

The chairman. Our charismatic and outgoing Yosua's elected for year 2010.


The vice-chairman, is his fellow Taruna allumnus contender, Damar.
Octa is the 2nd secretary. enough said :p


The main secretary is the cheerful and active Alin.


The treasurer, the witty and sensible Tammy.


The Student Affairs Department, or Seksi Kemahasiswaan,
the hippie&skinny duo: Stella and Ilham, responsible for reaching out the new comers :P


The Art Department, the hard-working Dyah,
will organize art and music- related activities.

The Sport Department, in charge of organizing PPIN participation in sport events,
is occupied by the jayuzz force from LS1: Dhanu and Meily!


Last but not least, The Information and Publication Department, Bella and Eugin. We'll be especially in charge of this blog (and other publication stuffs -teasers, posters, etc.), so please don't mind our frequent use of broken language :p

The committees and most of the active members are undergraduate students from HAN University of Applied Sciences (Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen). More members are students of graduate programs in Radboud University and HAN. Let's enjoy our stay in Nijmegen :)

ALTIJD NIJMEGEN!!
