Halooo DAI ini Fair dan teman-teman band-nya, LFP (Ajyeng, Reiz, Rana,
Kyoko, dan Tiar) ya..kita semua Arch Angels dari Sidoarjo. Mau sharing
pengalaman seru kita waktu acara photoshoot (cielah) untuk project
B-Day nya David.
——-
Membaca hasil pengumuman rapat di YM kemarin, Dari awal kita punya
ide, untuk berbagi kebahagiaan dari David kita sama orang-orang yang
kurang mampu, terlebih anak-anak jalanan. Waktu itu kalau ngga salah
tanggal 2 atau 3 desember, nah kita ada ide untuk mbikin video tentang
anak-anak jalan itu sambil nyanyi lagunya David. Tapi berhubung video
camera yang dinanti-nanti tak kunjung ada, terpaksa dibatalkan.
Alternative lainnya, kita pake kamera biasa.

Project yang kita rencanain lumayan rumit dan susah. Mulai dari
pemikiran kalo para anak jalanan itu menyeramkan, harus siap mental,
dll. Tapi kita berusaha buat bisa. Mulai dari dana, kita coba buat
nabung selama 4 hari dan selelu mbawa bekal ke sekolah : ) atau ngga
jajan sama sekali. walau cuma sedikit, ternyata cukup membantu.
Setelah menunggu waktu yang pas, dan juga menunggu uangnya pas : )
akhirnya kita putuskan hari sabtu kemarin tanggal 6 Desember 2008.

Dari hari sebelumnya, kita sudah mbuat semacam poster. Tapi sialnya,
ketinggalan di rumah Fair (peace!). akhirnya setelah pelajaran di
sekolah selesai sekitar jam 11, kita cepet-cepet mbikin poster lagi.
Di poster itu ada semacem symbol : ) hehe..itu aksara jawa yang
artinya “Selamat ulang tahun”. Dan akhirnya poster itu selesai jam 12.

Tempat utama yang di hari sebelumnya telah disurvey ada banyak ANJAL
(Anak jalanan) nya yaitu ada di daerah alun-alun kota Sidoarjo.
Akhirnya kita berangkat kesana naik angkot. Setelah sampai disana.
‘What?” anak-anak jalanan itu kena razia tadi malemnya. Jadi sepiiii
banget ngga ada anak-anak jalanan itu. Kita sampe ngerasa dehidrasi.
Haha. Putus asa. Sambil lari-lari mirip superman berjubah poster
tulisan kita buat David. Akhirnya kita putuskan untuk beli es
oyen(mirip-mirip es campur gitu) sama batagor. Beli satu mangkok es
oyen dan satu plastik batagor buat ber-6. haha. Buat menghemat dana
maksudnya. Kita ngga cerita sama orang tua, cerita sih.. tapi masalah
dananya ngga.
Di tempat es doger itu kita mikir buanyak. Tapi putus asa lagi.
Akhirnya kita putuskan untuk jalan-jalan aja ngelilingin alun-alun.
Waktu itu, kita ngelihat ada pengemis. Ide baru datang deh. Ngga jadi
anak-anak jalanan tapi siapapun yang kelihatannya perlu dibantu : )
lari-lari ngejar pengemis dan minta poto bareng (lho?) haha. Iya
ternyata mereka suka difoto gitu. Jadi ya sudah nampang-nampang. Kita
mbantu pengemis, orang jualan makanan, penjual trompet, dll. Kita
berhasil menemukan seorang anak jalanan yang ngga kena razia
beruntungnya. Gapapa walau Cuma satu. Setiap orang-orang itu pasti
tanya “sopo ta Archie? (siapa Archie?) kita nerangin panjang lebar
walau juga mereka Cuma angguk-angguk. Haha.
Setelah project dikira selesai.. kita bisa agak kaya. Beli es degan
sama baso di pendopo dekat alun-alun. Laper. Dari jam 12 sampe jam 3
an menggila di tengah suhu 40 derajat kota Sidoarjo. Kita sampe
tidur-tiduran di pendopo (jadi Anjal deh). Ngga jauh dari tempat pas
baso itu aku lihat, disana ada sekumpulan pengamen yang lagi kerja
(ngamen maksudnya). Terus aku ndeketin mereka sambil ngasi beberapa
uang di mangkuk mereka. Trus aku minta foto bareng mereka. Aku tanya,
“tau david Archuleta?” ada yang jawab “penyanyi dangdut?” hahaha..aku
jawab, “bukan! Dia sinden!” haha…ketawa aku. Habis ngobrol sebentar,
terus aku pinjem salah satu gitar mereka, sambil ngajakin
temen-temenku nyanyi CRUSH bareng. Seru banget waktu itu..hampir semua
orang di dalem pendopo itu ngeliatin kita!! Mulai dari penjual baso,
pengemis, pengunjung biasa, pegawai pemerintah, temen-temennya
pengamen, pasukan kuning, orang-orang lagi pacaran, dll. Kita juga
mulai promosi “Ini lagunya david archuleta lhoo! Judulnya C-R-U-S-H.
Beli albumnya ya!!!” hahaha.  Keren banget! Sampe kita dikira kaya
pengamennya! Dikasih uang di mangkuk tempat pengamen-pengamen itu!
Kira-kira ada 20 ribuan deh. Kaya deh nyanyi gitu sekali dapet 20ribu
ya? Haha, Terus para pengamen itu tanya, “kalian jadi pengamen aja!
Suaranya bagus lho!! Oh tadi itu lagunya si Dapit sapa tadi….Dapit?”
aku jawab” Dapit arculeta!” haha. Trus mereka minta ajarin! Mereka
juga janji mau nyanyi lagu itu waktu mereka ngamen!! (walau aku ngga
yakin gimana tuh bahasa inggris nya!) haha. Pokoknya seru banget.
Mereka juga tadinya ngasih uang di mangkuk itu buat kita. Tapi jelas
kita tolak.
Akhirnya perjalanan seru berakhir jam 3 sore karena kita sudah
dijemput dan harus pulang! Eh, Tapi kita mbalik lagi ke alun-alun, tau
ngga kenapa? Belum bayar baso sama es degan nyaaaa!!! Hahaha….

ENGLISH Version written by Fairy

Hey all archangels.. I’m Fairy Fairus, 14 years old arch angel from
Indonesia.  I wanna share you some of my experiences when me and my
friends were doing a project of David’s birthday!
Well, We all Indonesian Arch angels have a plan for David’s birthday.
We’re gonna make a video which contains our photos and videos with our
David life. Its deadline is December 15th.
After I saw that announcement in www.davidarchuletaindonesia.com (a
website of Indonesian Arch Angel) I got an idea of what I want to do.
I told my friends at school about it and they agreed. This plan was
pretty difficult for us actually. ‘Cause we wanted to make a gifting
project to someone who needs our help. Especially for poor road
children.
We began our project with saving our moneys. of course we required
moneys as fund from us to help those poor children. We saved our own
pocket moneys in 4 days. We didn’t tell our parents about this saving
money plan ’cause we wanted to do this all by ourselves. It made us
couldn’t eat at school or even pay our mobile subscription. Haha. It
was very bad but made us know how difficult being as poor people is.
Actually, We were also concerned that most of poor children are
criminal. However, we tried to do our best and prepared our bravery as
well as possible.
The day when we felt we could do that was Saturday, December 6th
2008. we made a poster  “Happy Birthday Archie” at school from 11 am
to 12 am. After finishing that poster, we went to the town garden
where we had checked the days before had many poor children who
usually work as street musician there. Then we went there by public
transportation and walked about 2 kilometers. Unfortunately, when we
had arrived there, “What?!!” there was no child. Some people told us
that they was hit by police of children road raze at night before. We
felt dehydration, and sad ’cause we thought that we had failed. haha.
At that day, my city got 40 degrees Celsius temperature. It had been
hotter since we’re in the big determination. We were crazy at that
moment ‘because we’re running like superheroes in the garden with our
David poster as our flying chasuble. What a crazy! After we felt
tired, we bought a food and a drink. Only one food for 6 persons and
so does one drink for 6 persons. Haha. We only bought one drink
because we’re still hoping that we could do that project. Therefore,
we still tried to save those moneys.
in the place we bought food, we tried to find another idea. But
hopeless again. Finally we decided to walking around the town garden
for refreshing. When we’re walking, I saw a bagger there. Than a new
idea came, we decided to do not only help poor road children, but all
people who seen to be require our help! We searched for them, we gave
them some moneys, we helped them if they need more help from us, we
took pictures with them, our poster, and many more we did with them.
We met baggers, public road merchants, and many others. Haha. I
thought it was funny when those baggers like taking pictures. They
also asked us when they saw our poster “Who’s Archie?”. We told them
everything about David elaborately although they only merely nodded
their head without understood our speech probably. Lol.         We were very
happy at that moment! We could share them our happiness in celebrating
David’s birthday. It made us very proud to be his fan all the way.
(Sigh) after we did that project through 3 ours, from 12 am to 3 pm.
We celebrated our success by eating Bakso (Indonesian food) and
coconut ice still in that town garden. When we’re eating, I saw many
teenagers street musicians were working (singing). I got an idea with
my friends; we were coming near them and giving them some moneys. I
asked them to taking pictures with the poster and us. I asked them,
“Do you know David Archuleta?” one of them answered, “Is he a
traditional sinden (A calling for traditional singer)?”. I directly
answered, “hahaha yes. Noo!! He is not.” I told them about him and we
talked about him (again) for a few minutes. After that I borrowed
their guitar. I played CRUSH with all my friends who were accompanying
me while singing CRUSH. Those street musicians were amazed by us, not
only them but also the whole people in that town garden!! Haha. They
looked at us, and thought we’re street musicians even they gave us
moneys! While we’re singing, one of my friend’s promoting david with
telling them “This is a song by David Archuleta, its title is CRUSH,
David’s album has been available to buy in your lovely CD stores right
now!!! please buy!” I thought it was helping a lot because after that
those people were asking us where they could buy it. Haha.
After we have finished singing, those street musicians asked us to be
street musicians too. Haha. They liked CRUSH and asked me to teach
them how to play it. I was sooo happy they asked me to do that! They
also promised to us that they would sing CRUSH when they’re working!
Although I wasn’t sure they would be fine in singing it. I mean they
couldn’t understand and speak English. So when they’re singing it, I
think it would be weird even funny. Haha. They gave me moneys which
people gave us when we’re singing crush, but we absolutely refused it.
Haha.
We had to finish our project because our parents had been fetching
us. We said good bye to those people in that town park and went home.
But wait, we eventually went back to that town park, guess what!!! We
forget paying our foods! Haha.

Thanks!
