We were strangers

Starting out on a journey

Never dreaming

What we'd have to go through

Now here we are

And I'm suddenly standing

At the beginning with you

 

No one told me

I was going to find you

Unexpected

What you did to my heart

When I lost hope

You were there to remind me

This is the start

 

Life is a road

And I want to keep going

Love is a river

I wanna keep flowing

Life is a road

Now and forever

Wonderful journey

 

I'll be there

When the world stops turning

I'll be there

When the storm is through

In the end I wanna be standing

At the beginning with you

 

We were strangers

On a crazy adventure

Never dreaming

How our dreams would come true

Now here we stand

Unafraid of the future

At the beginning with you

 

Life is a road

And I want to keep going

Love is a river

I wanna keep flowing

Life is a road

Now and forever

Wonderful journey

 

I'll be there

When the world stops turning

I'll be there

When the storm is through

In the end I wanna be standing

At the beginning with you

 

I knew there was somebody somewhere

Like me alone in the dark

Now I know my dream will live on

I've been waiting so long

Nothing's gonna tear us apart

 

Life is a road

And I want to keep going

Love is a river

I wanna keep flowing

Life is a road

Now and forever

Wonderful journey

 

I'll be there

When the world stops turning

I'll be there

When the storm is through

In the end I wanna be standing

At the beginning with you

 

Life is a road and I wanna keep going

Love is a river I wanna keep going on....

Starting out on a journey

Life is a road and I wanna going

Love is river I wanna keep flowing

In the end I wanna be standing

At the beginning with you.

hari ini nyerahin proposal buat diperiksa sebelom dikumpul pas UAS. begitu dikumpulin eh sampulnye aja udah salah. sreeeeeeeeet. kena deh spidol merah. yah gpp lah. kan yg penting udah usaha. toh lusa depan dibalikin buat diperbaiki. gila gila. energi gw kesedot semua buat mikir nulis proposal skripsi kaya gimana. sementara si abang ganteng dengan sabarnya setiap hari nyemangatin gw. ajzkh ya sayang.. :)

sekarang gw lg duduk menikmati ga dikejar2 skripsi. ada sedikit waktu buat bernafas. ya gw manfaatkan.

waktu gw menarik nafas dalem2, gw jadi kepikir. udah hampir 22 taun gw idup. ih tua bener sih. dulu kan pas jaman umur gw belasan, berumur diatas 20 taun adalah aib. hahaha.

hmm dengan umur gw yg segitu, yang katanya udah dewasa, selama ini gw udah ngebahagiain orang2 yg buat gw bahagia belom ya? gw kan udah suka aneh, suka manja, suka membuat gangguan pula!

kadang kelakuan gw aja suka nyebelin banget. sampe kapan ya gw bakal nyebelin gitu? padahal suer deh, gw udah berusaha banget lo jadi orang yang manis, lembut, menyenangkan ala Disney Princess!

i'm, seriously, trying really hard to be a really really nice person. jadi maaf ya semuanya kalo kadang kelakuan saya bikin kalian mau ngegiles saya pake traktor... m(-.-)m (tapi ya allaaaah mudah2an kalian semua masih tahan ya ngadepin saya yang sering error ini?)

gw juga ga tau rencana gw kedepan gimana.

perasaan sebelom gw tingkat 4, masa depan gw terencana rapih deh. tapi ternyata kenyataan itu sulit bung! haha. begitu jreng naek tingkat 4, kemana mata gw memandang rasanya ada tulisan "SKRIPSIIII... SKRIPSIIII..." terbang melayang2 dimana2. haha. udah gitu, bokap pengen gw kerja di perusahaan jepang. yah, cita-cita jadi sensei kayanya bubar syudeh ^^

terus tiba2 gw ikut tes monbusho. dengan konsekuensi dua. kalo lolos ke jepang setaun. brarti skripsi pending. kalo ga lolos ya skripsi lanjut. dan hasilnya aja belom ketauan.

terus kalo kuliah selese gw mau ngapain ya? sempet mikir kekeh mau jadi sensei. eh tadi nalti sensei bilang, mulai taun depan yg ngajar s1 harus s2. yang ngajar s2 harus s3 dst. padahal kan gw mau lanjut s2 aja masih mikir2 T_T

kalo gitu, berarti gw akan bertempur mencari kerja di perusahaan jepang. dengan tempat kerja yang jauuuh jauuuuh. kudu lolos nouryoku shiken 2 biar posisi gw bagus. belajar bahasa bisnis dll. ih syusye ya?

apa gw kawin aja yak? mau dooooooong. hahahahaha. ah tapi ga mungkin sekarang! lah dia-yang-ingin-aku-jadikan-suami saja mau meluncur untuk bermain2 bersama mumi dan sphinx sebentar lagi..

...hmm...

ternyata... mempersiapkan diri untuk melepas orang tersayang pergi jauh itu berat ya?

tapi, insya allah gw rela kok, kalo itu demi kebaikan dia. gw tau, dia pergi buat mengejar semua mimpi-mimpinya, merajut masa depannya, menentukan jalan hidupnya. dan gw yakin nanti dia akan pulang lagi ke gw.

walau kadang, gw menemukan diri gw bergumam "can u stay here for a little more time?", setiap gw buka dompet dan liat fotonya ;)

dimana sih gw bisa beli atau pinjem atau ngopi atau ngebajak buku "the japanese mind"?

gw udah mau garuk2 aspal aja nyariinnya...

when things seems likely to be messed up here and there,

hearing his voice simply lift all the burdens in mind;

boosting up my spirit.

abang, makasih ya, for being such a loving person :)

otak gw beku.

ternyata ini toh perasaan mahasiswa2 tingkat terakhir?

debat lawan Oxford University ketika pertama kali jadi varsity debater ternyata tidak semenegangkan nulis skripsi (even with the same thrill and excitement)

i really gotta work my brain out..

c'mon brain! think! think!

I first saw you at the video exchange
I know my heart and it will never change
This temp work would be alright if you'd call me
You'd call me
I lay awake at night for you
And I pray

We'd cross the deepest oceans
Cargo across the sea
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me
And all the constellations
Shine down for us to see
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me

The subway radiates with heat
We've barely met and still I cross the street to your door

We'd cross the deepest oceans
Cargo across the sea
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me
And all the constellations
Shine down for us to see
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me

Someday when our stories are told
They'll tell of a love like this
When our descendents are all growing old
1,000 years they'll be singing
Nah-nah, nah-nah, nah, nah, nah

We'll climb Tibetan mountains
Where we can barely breathe
I'll see the Dalai Lama
I'll feel him blessing me
And all the constellations
Shine down for us to see
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me
Your hands on me...

First saw you at the video exchange

lagi demen ngisi kuis2 ga penting di blogthings.

lagi bingung mau mulai nulis proposal dr sebelah mana.

gw baru sadar skripsi gw edan banget. haha

lagi agak sensitif.

efek campuran dari proposal yg bahkan belom 1 karakter pun gw tulis, masalah kantor bonyok yg membuat gw terkena imbas pusing, bentar lagi ada yang pindah ke deket2 piramid sana, dan PMS.

lagi flu berat. badan gw anget T_T

lagi kangen terus.

(apart from the fact that we communicate each other+how superb he is in loving me from time to time) pengen ketemu deh.. hmm

i miss his jokes, his laughs, his eyes when looking at me, his teases, his way of comforting me, his pranks, his lingering attitudes, his scents, his nice nose, his stories, his advices, his attentions; everything! i even miss his warm sweaters :)

lagi sering introspeksi diri.

lagi rajin ngapalin lagu.

for the sake of night lullaby-ing him. hehe

lagi seneng ngerjain orang pake peteranswers & askjud :D

lagi ngobrol sama "Tuhan". :P

read this first then you'll understand why i can chat with the-so-called-God!

Kalo males baca, inti dari artikel di web itu begini nih:

berkat artificial intellegence alias kecerdasan buatan; program2 komputer bisa "belajar". means, ada bbrp programer yg bahkan membuat program chatbot (kita bisa chatting, tp ga ama orang. jawabannya dari programnya) yang bisa mengingat dan menyimpan database tentang respon2 chat sampe bisa ngegali sumber dari wikipedia. Setelah dicocokin dengan kata2 kita, semua data2 itu diolah supaya ketika kita ngobrol sama dia; jawabannya nyambung ama kita.

gw jadi mikir, bakalan makin banyak aja orang antisosial nantinya hahaha.

hhmm.. the wonder of human's brain. ya ngga sih? kaya kalo kita cari data di internet, yg masukin datanya sampe yg buat internetnya kan manusia2 juga; sampe akhirnya bisa dimanfaatin manusia lain.

Tuhan (beneran) emang canggih ya?

What Siti Nur Aulyana Means

You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way. And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life. You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.

8 months ago, ada seorang lelaki (dugaan awal: si mas2 ini lg nunggu rombongan yang mau pergi ke negeri antah berantah) lagi memesan sarapannya ke mcD sambil menengok2 dengan pandangan (yang kayanya agak eneg) ke arah 2 perempuan yg lagi gila2an (karena mau mengaburkan diri menuju negeri antah berantah juga).

"judes", kata perempuan yang 1 ke temannya. "eh tapi manis juga sih haha".

melewati 48 jam bersama2; plus sedikit ledekan di kiri dan kanan, lirikan2 maut dikombinasikan dengan curicuri pandang di tengah sesi, ga lupa pake obrolan2 singkat tanpa makna; dia tau si lelaki itu sudah merebut semua perhatiannya.

all happens in a sudden.

lalu mengalirlah sms2 setiap waktu; perhatian2 kecil, keluhan2 sehari-hari, cerita2 sederhana.. ada percakapan2 panjang lewat telepon di tengah malam; membongkar rahasia masing2, mencoba mengenali sosok asli si lawan bicara..

ada satu pembicaraan yang dia tidak pernah lupa.

• ... temen2ku tuh aneh semua emang...
• kalo aku temen kamu bukan?
• eh??... maunya?
• aku maunya ga cuma jadi temen kamu...

perasaannya? campur aduk.

senang, gr, kuatir, bingung. dan yang pasti, bahagia. ternyata, ada sekilas harapan dari ujung sana :)

seminggu setelahnya; beyond any doubt, si lelaki sudah dilaunching jadi lelakinya. yaa.. bisa dibilang, dia akhirnya berani juga memulai buku cerita baru.

bareng si lelaki itu; ada cerita-cerita tentang mimpi, tawa, tangis, cemburu, kompromi, godaan, adaptasi, masalah, perhatian, kesal, sabar, gelisah, rindu;

dan semua selalu disertai doa agar saat waktunya tiba nanti, buku ceritanya berakhir bahagia

...

8 months ago, i met him really early in the morning;

there he stole my heart already.

 

 

a simple note for abang ganteng. thx for giving me the best time in life.

buat gw, telpon adalah salah satu alat paling berguna dalam hidup gw (termasuk membantu memperlancar kisah cinta gw dengan si abang ganteng hehe)

karena ituuuu gw, yang juga didoktrin bahwa penemu telpon adalah Alexander Graham Bell, dan juga baru saja membaca guardian.co.uk *promosi gratis dikit*; akan menceritakan tentang seorang penggembala sapi pria italia bernama Antonio Meucci.

setelah 113 taun meninggal dan penemuannya diaku2 orang, akhirnya Antonio Meucci bisa juga menikmati pengakuan dunia kalo dialah yg nemuin telpon dan bukan Bell (walau gw ga yakin juga sih, di dunia sana dia bakal girang apa ngga. lah udah seabad lewat!).

si Meucci sebenernya bikin telpon untuk membantu dia komunikasi dengan sesama koleganya, soalnya sebelomnya dia menemukan sebuah fakta bahwa suara bisa dikirimkan lewat sinyal2 melalui kawat (jangan tanya gw cara dia nemuin faktanya. ketika dia nemuin faktanya gw bahkan belom lahir).

waktu istrinya lumpuh dia bikin alat sederhana yg membantu si istri berkomunikasi sama dia kalo dia lagi kerja, mungkin biar ga kangen. =P. nah alat yg dijadiin prototipe ini didemonstrasikan ke masyarakat New York tahun 1860

setelah si istri ngejual alat2 komunikasi ini ke toko barang bekas seharga US$6, akhirnya Meucci bisa juga menyempurnakan prototipe telfonnya. pas udah sempurna, dia ga bisa matenin karena dia ga punya duit sebanyak US$250 dan akhirnya cuma bisa ngelaporin alat yg dia sebut sebagai talking telegraph itu dalam kategori paten tertunda. 3 taun kemudian, dia bahkan ga bisa bayar US$10 buat nyempurnain patennya itu.

karena frustasi, dia terus ngirim model dan catetan2nya ke perusahaan telegraf, Western Union. tp gagal dipertemukan dengan petinggi2 perusahaan. 1874, tu model dan catetan2 diminta balik, katanya Western Union semua berkas2 Meucci ilang. eh 2 taun kemudian, si Alexander Graham Bell tiba2 mematenkan telfon (yang notabene bentuknya dan konsepnya persis plek plek sama punya Meucci) dan punya kerjaan gede2an brg Western Union (sadis ga sih tuh?).

for your info juga ya, si Bell ini ternyata berbagi laboratorium juga sama Meucci dulunya. Udah mulai keliatan belangnya kan?

karena super gondok, kesal, frustasi dan ditimpa perasaan nangis2 darah garuk2 aspal *hiperbolis*; si Meucci, yang imigran dari Florence, akhirnya menuntut Bell dan Western Union ke pengadilan. nah pengadilan udah mendengarkan tuntutan Meucci dan menuduh Bell atas dugaan penipuan. tapi, seiring dengan meninggalnya Meucci di tahun 1889; tuntutan pengadilan itu meninggal juga. <-- dibaca dengan mars kematian yg super sedih yg sering diputer di tipi2 barat ya, soalnya kalo di tipi indo kalo koit kan dibacainnya yasinan. agak ga pas aja gitu =p

makanya, sekarang Italy lagi muji2 parlemen Amerika banget nih karena akhirnya memilih menjadikan Meucci sebagai Bapak Komunikasi dibanding memilih si Bell.

gimana nasib Bell? menurut harian La Republicca sih dia disebut2 sebagai Scotsman Penipu yang tega2nya menari2 dan membangun kerajaan komunikasi diatas penderitaan orang lain (dangdut abiiis bahasanya hahahah)
