Peter "Phenomenal" Fennema

Actually there's no phenomenal in his name.. I just created the nickname.. and I'll tell you why...

I can't sleep... tired of doing my work.. so I went to my #1 website; Youtube... usually to seek funny, inspirational, reference videos... but mostly to listen to songs that are not on my playlist... what to do right.. it's 5am in the morn and I was feeling kinda blue, straight away I search the song Sempurna by Andra and the Backbone, a very beautiful love song... shortly after that... on the search list, I saw this...

I was really amazed that this man sang in fluent Bahasa Indonesia... I know many people have, but often they speak, not sing fluently... On the description of the video... he put a link of another website (MyIndo.com) which was an interview he did and explained all on why he sings Indonesian songs... 

Quoted from the website;

"A few years after graduation we (my girlfriend Lucie and I) went to South East Asia to travel for a year. Indonesia was our main destination, and it appeared to be a good choice.

Before we left we studied Bahasa Indonesia for about half a year. We flew to Bangkok and travelled down South through Malaysia and Singapore to Indonesia. We stayed in Indonesia for 8 months!

We visited Java, Bali, Sumatra, Kalimantan and Maluku (Ambon, Banda, Kei and Tanimbar). The diversity of the country is huge, so many different cultures and traditions.

If you travel in Indonesia you are very close to the local people, especially when you're using public transport and when you're in remote areas. We've encountered so many warm hearted friendly people, so many lovely smiles, that Indonesia began to feel like our home, even though we did not have a residence."

I feel like I wanna go travel to a foreign country like him...

I didn't put the rest of the interview here but feel free to read it at the link I put above... Here's another cover he did..

Gotta love this cover too!
