"Bloom" - Paper Kites

Soothing as always

In the morning when I wake
And the sun is coming through,

Oh, you fill my lungs with sweetness,

And you fill my head with you.

Shall I write it in a letter?

Shall I try to get it down?

Oh, you fill my head with pieces

Of a song I can't get out.

Can I be close to you?

Ooh-oo-oo-ooh, ooh

Can I be close to you?

Ooh, ooh.

Can I take it to a morning

Where the fields are painted gold

And the trees are filled with memories

Of the feelings never told?

When the evening pulls the sun down,

And the day is almost through,

Oh, the whole world it is sleeping,

But my world is you.

Can I be close to you?

(Ah) ooh (aah), ooh (aah).

Can I be close to you?

(Ah) ooh (aah), ooh (aah).

Can I be close to you?

Can I be close to you?

Can I be close to you?

Ooh, ooh.

Saya tidak melihatnya datang (Kekecewaan yang tak Terkalkulasi)

Dua kali

Tunggu

Menunggu lagi

Dipikir waktu telah datang

Dipikir waktu sudah tepat

Kata diumbar

Tak kuat tahan hati busung senang

Namun yang melayang tak pulang

Yang terlepas tak kembali

Maka kata menjadi kosong tak beraksi

Semua tidaj terjadi.

Dipikir waktu telah datang

Tapi kami telah janji pada takdir tak akan mendahuluinya, 

tak akan mempercepat waktu.

Mungkin esok hari kita jumpa

Di dalam semesta yang selaras

Pada malam yang berencana

Suci.

Suci.

Suci.

Dalam setiap matahari yang terbenam,

sua kian dekat

Dalam tiap rotasi bulan detik pun menghitung mundur

Sampai berjumpa lagi takdir

Kemarin kami tak sempat

Alam tak bolehkan

Kami berlari dalam arah yang bertentangan

Sampai berjumpa lagi takdir

Suci.

Suci.

Suci

and I travel the world to get to where you are... strangers I met along the way~

I read an article about a guy who travels and here's some point I love about it;

• You might find him in an airport or at a book store browsing the travel guides 
• Allow him to paint a picture that brings you into his world. He might talk fast and miss small details because he’s so excited to be heard. Bask in his enthusiasm. 
• Date a boy who’s lived out of a backpack because he lives happily with less. 
• He’s seen how a life without luxury can mean a life fueled by relationships and family, rather than a life that fuels fancy cars and ego. 
• He looks at the world with the eyes of a five-year-old, curious and hungry. 
• The I’ve-missed-you-hug is the best type of hug in the whole world.
• He also knows that goodbyes are just prolonged see-you-laters and that ‘hello’ is only as far away as the nearest internet cafe.
• Don’t hold onto this boy. Let this boy go and go with him. 
• He will calm your nerves when you’re about to miss a flight or when your rental blows a flat, because he knows the journey is the adventure. He will make light of the unsavory noises you make when you – and you will – get food poisoning. He will make you laugh through the discomfort all while dabbing your forehead with a cold cloth and nursing you with bottled water. He will make you feel like you’re home.
• When you see something beautiful, he will hold your hand in silence, in awe the history of where his feet stand, and the fact that you’re with him.
• He will live in every moment with you, because this is how he lives his life.
• You may lose him for a bit, but he will always come home bearing a new story and a souvenir he picked up because it reminded him of you, like it was made for you, and because he missed you.

He’ll propose when you’ve breached your comfort-zone, whether it be a fear like skydiving or swimming with sharks, or sitting next to the smelly person on an overcrowded bus. It won’t be with a diamond ring, but with a token from a native culture or inspired by nature, like the penguin and the pebble.

• Together you will make the whole world your home. 
• You will have children that have the names of the characters you met on your journeys, the foreign names of people who dug a special place in your heart if only for a few days. 
• He’ll teach your children the beauty of a single stone, the history of the Incas and he will instill in them the bravery of possibility. He will explain to them that masking opportunity, there is fear. He will teach them to conquer it.
• You deserve to look at life through the eyes of youth and with your arms wide open. Because this is where you will find joy. And better, you will find joy together.

And if you can’t find him, travel. Go. Embrace it. Explore the world for yourself because dreams are the stuff reality is made from.

"I'll show you wealth

You've never seen

The sun and moon and shadows

The rainbow's arch, the mountain stream

The sunless clouds

And the winter's dream

I'll play you sounds

You've never heard

The waterfall, the river

The thunder of the hummingbird

The whisper of the snow

What if you never know

How much you cared

Till you are parted

By a stormy sea"

Here Beside Me

Buka Mata untuk Indonesia

Deep down inside, I know we dream for a better Indonesia

Mengutip perkataan Pak Anies Baswedan, saya setuju jika hal pertama yang harus dibenahi dari bangsa ini adalah masyarakatnya. Diubah cara berfikirnya, dibentuk jiwanya, ditingkatkan toleransinya agar menjadi manusia yang lebih peka dan peduli dengan kebutuh sekitar dan bangsanya. Menurut saya percuma jika pemerintah berusaha mencapai pemerataan atau persamaan ekonomi jika pada akhirnya sumber daya manusianya tidak tahu cara mengolah hal tersebut kedepannya. Sifat pemerataan tersebut hanya akan bersifat sementara. Tapi jika masyarakatnya dibenahi dan pembenahan di wariskan turun temurun, maka Indonesia mampu menjadi bangsa yang maju dengan kualitas masyarakat yang baik.

 Pengalaman saya magang di salah satu institusi pemerintahan yang mengharuskan saya naik bus kemana-mana dan melihat wajah masyarakat Indonesia serta hiruk pikuk kehidupan kerja masyarakat Indonesia telah membukakan mata saya. Bahwa banyak dari orang Indonesia hampir kehilangan kepekaanya. Banyak fenomena-fenomena yang sepertinya harus dibenahi. Saya ambil contoh tentang kejadian saat naik bus. Dari mulai antri di halte, orang-orang sudah tidak sabar. Mereka dorong-dorongan untuk masuk ke bis. Sampai di dalam bus, kenek tidak manusiawi. Karena berfikir itu angkutan umum, maka se-enaknya memasukan penumpang walau bus sudah penuh. Ketiga, orang-orang terutama pria sehat menutup mata terhadap anak-anak, ibu hamil, hingga manula dalam pemberiaan tempat duduk. Seakan-akan mereka yang paling lelah sehingga mereka tidak ada keinginan unutk memberikan tempat duduk bagi yang membutuhkan. Ke-empat, sekarang masalah sampah. Orang-orang seolah tidak mau tahu, atau sudah menjadi kebiasaan yang melekat sehingga walaupun ada sampah mereka tetap membuang sampah di jalan.

Saya percaya bahwa semua ini dapat diubah. Yang harus kami sadari untuk mencapai perubahan tersebut adalah; pertama, mulai dari diri sendiri. Kedua, jangan pewe all dream for a better Indonesia.
Jangan pernah takut untuk mengajak orang lainnya. Kami tidak boleh menutup mata dan tak acuh. Kami tidak boleh takut untuk menyuarakan pendapat. karena kami tahu dilubuk hati kami semua,

Jangan takut untuk menginspirasi. Mulailah dari diri kita untuk bertindak. Berikan tempat duduk bagi yang membutuhkan, karena satu tindakan yang menginspirasi mampu merubah hati seseorang untuk berbuat baik pula. Jangan takut untuk meneriakkan pendapat. Jika bis penuh suarakan pada kenek. Karena kenyamanan bersama para penumpang mampu merubah energi masyarakat menjadi lebih 'jinak'. Jangan takut untuk mengingatkan. Mengingatkan untuk membuang sampah pada tempatnya, untuk mengantri dan merasa nyaman bersama ketika menunggu. Jika suara anda ditolak, beri mereka waktu untuk mencerna segalanya.

Ayo mulai dari diri kami, dan percaya perbuatan baik sekecil apapun mampu membawa perubahan.

2014

Looking back to the year of 2013, I have been experiencing a lot of unexpected journeys, adventures and encounters.

In a year, I had travel lots of places;
Getting lost in Bandung by my own, fulfil my desire and wonderment and fight my own fear, and eventually catch my own finding in Warung Stinggil
Experiencing Indonesia's low budget train during my way to Jogjakarta for the 10 days backpacking trip. A new perspective was achieve when people slept on the ally during the night.
Let the fate be decided by life during our journey from Segara Anakan to Bromo.
The excitement feeling while walking under the pouring stars in the Savanna of Baluran or so called as Africa Van Java.
Mesmerised by the richness of Flora and Fauna in Baluran especially when one of the kid stepped on the sea urchin and they experience first aid with their own urine.
Undergoing the spiritual experience during Waisak,
Fascinate by the exotica of Padang's scenery,
Captivated by the sound of music in Bromo
Hypnotised by the sunrise in Bukit Cinta and Bukit Moko and also the city view during the night.
Met with unpredictably eccentric people like Cipit, and others

and many of the experiences that cannot be named and explain one by one.

During my marvellous journey in the past year, people come and go. Most of them just stopped by in a fleeting time, momentarily. Dropping a sort of message that I unconsciously unaware would have effecting part of my life in the future. Some of them stay. continuing to play their role in part of my life that has not yet done. I am so great full for the things i have experiencing. I hope that I still have a chance to experience such things in the year ahead. I wish to see Flores and experience the peace at Wae Rebo, to travel Kalimantan and swim with stingless jellyfish and many more. I wish to travel Indonesia more. May 2014 give a new bright experience. Happy New Year 2014, from one of the big fan of Indonesia.
