1. Tips Enjoy During the Pandemic

In the midst of her performance, Monita shared tips on how to still enjoy yourself during this COVID-19 pandemic. Simple things can be done to maintain your mood while staying at home.

"Because the environment is limited, if you want to work from home, still wear clothes at home. Dress up every day. So the mood for work is there even though you're still at home. At the beginning of the PSBB (Large-Scale Social Restrictions), I was confused, but now I'm used to it. I can do many things. So do what you like, don't let it become an obstacle because I see many friends doing many things like gardening, learning to cook in the midst of this pandemic." Monita said.

2. Concerns During the Pandemic

Monita, who released her new album during the pandemic, admitted to being worried about the promotion period. However, she still responded to this limitation with a positive attitude.

"During the pandemic, we all have our own concerns. As for me, since my third album DARI BALIK JENDELA was released in the midst of the pandemic, I learned to believe that everything has its own time and this song can be a companion for those of you who are staying at home," she said.

3. After the Pandemic Ends

If the Corona pandemic is over, Monita admits that there is one place she wants to visit. Apparently, Monita has her own memories of the place she wants to visit.

"After this pandemic is over, I really want to go on vacation and the destination I want to visit is Lombok. There, I filmed Memulai Kembali. I created it together with Gerald Situmorang (Barasuara)," said Monita.

4. How to Get the Perfect Blend

As a singer, Monita admits that she really likes to collaborate. To achieve the perfect blend with her collaboration partners, Monita has a special method that has proven successful.

"Collaboration is something I enjoy. Collaboration in terms of choosing songs, producers, playing music. Collaboration is fun for me because I get to know other people and the most important thing in collaboration is the perfect blend. For example, when I share stories and have a lot of conversations with Ananda Badudu, the perfect blend is created, Jauh Nan Teduh," Monita said.

5. Message for KLovers

At the end of the event session, Monita delivered a message and her experience of joining the KapanLagi Buka Bareng event.

"I'm really happy to have this experience, being able to do a live performance from home, hopefully it can entertain, stay healthy and have a smooth Eid," she concluded.
