the girl who plays slenthem and kicks butts

she's kinda tomboy: liking jeans and shirts more than girly attire; making friends with lots of boys and some girls, too. her sport is taekwondo, and she just won her gold medal yesterday, and a trophy for 'best pre-junior female athlete'.

before yesterday, about a month ago, and a month prior to that day, she was so keen on rehearsing for the karawitan concert, where she played the 'slenthem'. slenthem is a kind of 'bass' instrument in the gamelan orchestra. slenthem is played by one player only in the whole orchestra, and she reigned.

she's my girl. the girl who loves both the soothing and almost meditating 'hammering' of gamelan instruments, and the fiercess of kicking your oponent's arse in a tournament. she is both part of a harmony, and a single fighter.

mom is so happy for you.
