For those of you who did not get the chance to hear it on Sunday, here is my interview with FMBRUSSEL I have told you about in my previous post.
I have split the 11:35 minute interview into three parts so that it will be lighter for you to load. To listen to it, click the following:
Please refrain from calling me stupid, lame, and other bad things right in front of my face. I have had a very bad day (hence my earlier post) and I was also EXTREMELY nervous when I did the interview (which I know is a lame excuse for the bad grammar and pronunciation).
Enjoy!
Ms. Chantal de Smedt (the host) and Oliver the technician.
Rima, I love your music and your interview was great. You should come and record your music here. So proud of you girl
“Thanks mba!!!!”
Your English was excellent! And that Chantal woman was very funny too, how she said “kerupuk” and “panjat pinang” ha3x…
I love the bit when you said the best Indonesian food could be found at your place LOL
So what Indo food can you dish out for me when I cum visit you? Quick. Apart from the pork kebabs and stuff… mmm, kebabs….
“Yeah, here we have kroepoek sold in the supermarkets, just like potato chips. it’s tasteless, just a very basic shrimp cracker that doesn’t taste very good, but they love it. strange, right?
as for my cooking, just get your ass here first, and then i’ll cook for you..hehehe”
sumpah pertama2 gue malu malu gitu interviewnya, denger suara, kaya anak keciiil banget, kemaluannya besar..
pas masuk menit ke 6-7 kok jadi malu2in yah???
Ooooo, suranya bagus sekali. You’re doing just awesome.
Proud of you too. Thanks for sharing Rim.
“ah masaaa.. lol thanks mas udah dengerin..
”
Rima,
Loe ngobrol biasa aja suaranya merdu banget! Ta voix est trés mignonne.
Didn’t know that there is a Dutch speaking Radio in Bruxelles.
Kalo albumnya keluar, let me know ya, kali gw dateng keconcert The Housepainters.
You did really good girl!
“duh, kalo ngomong biasa jelek kok suaranya.. sumpah.. itu pas lagi genit aja.. hehehe”
Rima … I’m loving it!! Sama sekali ngga jelek .. there’s nothing wrong with your English, dan elo cerita fakta apa adanya mengenai 17-an di Ind.
Yang gw berasa sih, waktu elo cerita mengenai kecintaan elo sama kota brussels, kedengeran banget suara elo menghangat, berasa bahwa elo bener2 betah tinggal di situ.
Suara elo bagus, rek …. kabar2in mengenai album yaaa.
TFS!
“Thanks shan.. I think it was rather ‘kaku’.. i was nervous..
”
Yeah.. I LOVE brussels.. it shows ya?
seandainya “tone” kayak di wawancara lebih sering terbaca di blog ini loh, Rim. aku gak nyangka bisa mendengar impresi semenyenangkan itu tentang negara ini dari kamu.
“duh, kalo banyak alasan yg bisa bikin ‘tone’ blog gue jadi menyenangkan sih pasti tidak ada masalah.. tapi kalo udah mengenai indonesia, jauh lebih banyak suramnya daripada terangnya.. jadi ga bisa tuh.. utk interview ini, mau gak mau lah gw harus sandiwara.. gak mungkin gw kasih tau yg sebenarnya.. tapi kalo blog ini kan milik pribadi jadi gw bisa nulis sejujurnya..”
“…..(which I know is a lame excuse for the bad grammar and pronunciation).”
Ah yang bener aja, gak percaya! kalo Mbak Rima bahasa Inggrisnya yang sebagus itu masih dibilang jelek, apalagi gue? tambah ancur aja deh
“sumpah pertama2 gue malu malu gitu interviewnya, denger suara, kaya anak keciiil banget, kemaluannya besar..”
idiiih hahahahah. gak lah, masa suara anak2? suara orang muda iya betul, tapi suara anak2? speakernya sentimen kali hehe.
Congratulation sekali lagi, good luck
“terima kasih ya yonnn…
skrg jelek bgt inggrisnya soalnya gak kepake banyak, terus jarang banget interaksi sama native english speaker, jadi otomatis jadi gak bagus.. beda banget sama pas dulu baru sampe sini, jauh lebih fluent dan accentnya pun lebih jelas.. skrg gak jelas, european accent gini.. lol”
Rim.. you have a lovely voice girl.. aduh aku jadi padamu nih hahaha…
Eh tapi bener loh gw nyangka suara lo yang serak-serak berat dan agak becek gitu eh taunya malah merdu kayak anak remaja, gak nyangka deh… you go girl, Rima rocks!
“duh.. udah sendirian, ga ada suami, pake bilang2 becek lagi.. tambah sengsara deh gue.. hahaha
merdu.. wah ini satu kata yg dah lama bgt ga gw denger .. tapi iya, kaya anak2 bgt.. aneh deh suara gw..”
Rima, first, thank you for being such a thoughtful person. Splitting up the interview file like that so it’s easy to download and enjoy. Nice. Thanks
Me and baby Asha both listened to you. She was rather mesmerised by those holograms on the media player. But your voice was soothing for her too! Like Ecky, I thought your voice would be “serak2 basah”.
On your accent, I expected a Kiwi accent (since you went to primary school there). So yes, I was rather dissapointed to hear the European accent. LOL. You sound great Rima!
“Well, I’m not that toughtful, don’t worry.. lol
Why do all of you think my voice would be deep? Is it because you all secretly think I’m a transvestite? hehehehhehe
I did have a kiwi accent, then it changed into an american accent when I lived in the US and now, slightly European.. Very strange..
Thanks for listening kat.. kisses for baby asha”
You know what Rima, first of all. Your voice is great. Definitely ’serak serak basah’. Mind you, I was expecting a deeper kinda voice for some reason. But nevertheless, I love your voice.
As to the lame excuse to the grammar and pronounciation mistakes, well, since you pointed it I was aware of it! Lols! (but generally I am pedantic on grammar, even when I make my mistakes my own..). But then you speak fluently, that it hardly shows.
Oh, and on the accent, I thought you had more of an American accent than European, no? Mind you, there may have been a hint of European.
Damn, I wished I had visited Brussel when I was in Europe. One day I will…
Congrats once again, and love love your blog..=)
“thanks babes..
and you should visit here.. you can stay at my humble abode.. lol.”
On second thought, after listening to it more..yeah. I have to agree, you do have more of an European accent, and it is SEXAAAY baby! =)
“Ahh shucks.. *blushing*”
See Rim, I’m not the only one who’s turned on by you LOL
Rim, it’s really great. Your English is fine
But what was the language that the radio host was using? Dutch?
“Thanks babe…
The language is Dutch (flemish dialect)”
Oh I forgot something, once you release your album in October, I can go bragging around that I know a singer in Brussel *hehe* (ceritanya sok pamer nih
)
“No, I’m scheduled to record it in October, the release will probably take place next year”
You did a good interview. You’re a natural.
“Thanks Mike!”
Félicitations et bon courage pour ton futur album.
“Merci bcp Lisa..”
Hey Rima, I love your music, the nocturnal sky sounds really nice, I like it.
“Hi bumblebee, thanks for taking the time to listen to it..:)”
Mak, websitenya expired yah? Gue klik Part 1, 2, and 3 ain’t working tuuu
“gak kok.. gue disini bisa… coba lagi..”
