Snow and Saman

Ok, maybe there is no direct connection between Snow and Saman, except that both start with 'S', but they connected for me. First, today was snowing, in midst of November, could you imagine?! It is actually seldom to have snow in Hamburg, and I was so happy to see the white calm environment, that was created by this beautiful light element. My day started perfectly, woke up with the snow, then the long brunch with my landlord, together with Shen, Gabita and Arturo of course. I tried new slices and liver-paste-with-apple this time.

Another highlight of the day was the cultural performance by KMKI (Indonesian Catholic Students Community) members for celebrating the 50 years jubilaeum of Franziskus-Kolleg. We sang some happy songs:
1. Yamko Rambe Yamko - a song from papua, east part of Indonesia, this one suppose to be a song for someone who goes to battle, but we sing it as if it was a happy one.
2. Ayo Mama - about a teenager and her mama of course
3. Potong Bebek Angsa - about the goose and the duck
4. Mana di Mana - about the lamb hihihi...
5. Butet - a song from Batak people, this one is also about fighting

We also danced Tari Saman, this is a traditional one from Aceh. The one thousand hands dance, some say, because it needs concentration and coordination to do it. I like it, and this was the first time for me to perform it. Joined the practice for three sessions, so two small mistakes were forgiven. I was so glad as we finished, and it was quite well, the audience liked it to - at least I got this impression, because the clapping was quite cheerful :)

Of course apart from us, there were also other musical pieces from some Koreans and Germans, presentations about different countries from multicultural students. At the end the day was closed with the snow. So the connection for Saman and Snow is that both were making my day perfect :)

PS. It was not only fun stuff today, I also learned a bit at Uni Hamburg in the course of SAP in Logistic, where I got to know the Material Management module a bit. Life has to be balance, no? Work and Fun!
