Talk on Corner

Hi all!!! Been so long, eh? Let’s just cut the craps and get to the point. Ehehehe! Have you got your snacks ready? Okay, here you go.

Today I got permission from my office so I could get my hair cut again, since the last time was done before New Year (the hairdresser reminded me anyway). This story is not about my hair after all, though I like the cut. Ehehe! Well In the middle of cutting my hair, the hairdresser got a guest that was looking for her son. Later I found out from their conversation that her son is going to

China

to work at certain computer parts firm. It’s not that I was eavesdropping ya, but the aunty left me no choice since she left me undone and join the conversation. Later when she got back to my hair, she told me more. And from that conversation I think she must have been very proud of her son.

I was already trying to figure out some answers to give in case she ask me questions about my job. “Well, I, uh…work at a propagation centre (pc)”, “It’s at Madong Lubis”, “Yeah, it’s correct”, so on and so on. In the end, she didn’t ask at all but left me wondering, why have I become so unconfident?

At that moment, I was afraid if I wouldn’t be able to make my parents proud. I won’t be working at some huge firm with super high salary you know. And I thought it’s not a normal choice to be a priest. But then I knocked my head to the wall (just in my imagination, of course) and got my spirit back. No matter what, I should feel proud of my choice first. Not to think about how I’d make my parents proud, coz if I did that, I would end up making my parents happy but myself dying. Maybe one day they’ll be proud of me coz I chose my own way and succeed. Maybe it’s just that simple…

Then I got my concentration back to the aunty, monitoring the situation so I’d get what I want. Somehow, someway, in the other middle of getting my hair cut, I felt dizzy as if I was going to faint. No. Not coz of the previous middle of hair cut thing ya. But it’s the earthquake. Ahahaha! Ehem…well, I hope everyone was fine. Somehow, weirdly, I kept my ass seated and waited for it to stop then let the aunty continue cutting my hair (yeah, for the second time she left my hair undone and grab some table so that she could stand still). After that she finally finished her job and I got back to the pc.

Actually, there was a “woman meeting” hold in the pc. So the main hall was full with around 300 – 400 ladies listening to the some member’s life experience. You know what did they do during the earthquake? The normal answer would be running out from the hall. But, hell no! They started to chant and chant. Then don’t know how, the whole ladies just chant all at once in one rhythm. I laughed when I heard about that. Not to mock, but I think I was happy and I loved them. Is that reasonable enough? Ahahaha!

Ahhh…finally I finished this writing. Previously I’ve got a lot of stories but never made it to the blog. Just lazy I guess. But today was fun and I forced myself to write something. Hopefully tomorrow will be more fun, more rain and good night readers…

Pagi ini saat aku berdiri di depan cermin, kuperhatikan gigiku yang sudah menguning karena sudah beberapa hari tidak disikat. Lantas kuperhatikan gigi seriku yang amat sangat kubaggakan kerapiannya. But, something weird’s happened! Dua gigi seriku yang beradu di tengah, sedikit terlihat (dan memang) masuk dan sama rata. Oh, ternyata gigiku tidak serapi yang kukira. Shit, bagaimana ini bisa terjadi? Seingatku gigiku cukup rapi. Jangan-jangan…!?

Saya jadi teringat, seorang pelatih trompet pernah memberitahukan kalau caraku bermain terompet (ya, saya pemain terompet) salah. Dan kalau tidak segera diperbaiki, akan terus mendorong gigi seriku ke dalam. Duh!?

Well, di saat itu juga aku teringat dengan kejadian yang baru lewat. Ya, pas hari kemerdekaan RI tercinta.

Pagi-pagi sekali - di saat kalian semua masih tidur, mungkin (atau haruskah saya menggunakan kata "pasti"?) - saya dan teman-teman dari marching band sudah dibangunkan "kakak-kakak tercinta" yang super menyebalkan. Ahahaha! Tidak tahu kenapa, pagi itu saya tidak terlalu menurut, membiarkan yang lain berebutan kamar mandi dan melanjutkan tidurku yang sedikit terganggu, baru kemudian mandi dan sarapan dengan tenang.

Tak banyak yang terjadi hari itu. Maksudku yang terjadi, yah, itu-itu saja. Kami pawai dari vihara di Tanjung Balai ke Kantor Walikota, lalu ke lapangan dan kembali.

Ada beberapa kesalahan (yang sebenarnya tak termaafkan) yang terjadi di lapangan. Kami melakukan kesalahan saat memainkan lagu kebangsaan Indonesia Raya. Arghh, mereka akan menembak kami semua. Setelah memainkan lagu, tak layaknya pemain marching band yang punya pride, kami menundukkan kepala.

Untunglah kesalahan ini terbayar dengan semangat kami saat memainkan lagu untuk mengiringi de file yang melintasi Kantor Walikota. Wow, sudah lama ga merasakan semangat setinggi ini. Ehehe.

Padahal sebelum mulai acara de file, kepalaku sempat nyut-nyutan kalau memainkan lagu. Dan sesekali hampir pingsan (soalnya pandanganku mendadak seperti sedang menonton televisi yang kehilangan frekuensi dan dikerubungi beribu-ribu semut hitam kecil). Belum lagi jari kelingking kakiku yang sudah melepuh dan serasa remuk (bagaimana tidak, sepatunya jauh terlalu kecil dibandingkan dengan kakiku). Lebih baik kakiku dipotong seperti dalam film The Saw, kataku pada teman-temanku. Sampai sekarang juga masih sakit loh. Eheheh. Tapi semuanya berakhir dengan baik. Tidak ada yang pingsan, maupun yang tumbang (eh, sama ya? biarlah…)

Anyway, pastinya banyak yang punya pengalaman berbeda di HUT ke-62 RI ini. Contohnya saja, salah satu temanku bilang dia seharian main DOTA.

Tapi yang pasti, semuanya harus merasa senang. Merasakan cinta yang lebih kepada negeri tercinta Indonesia.

Tidak peduli seberapa buruknya maupun bagusnya negeri ini, kita mesti berterima kasih. Karena semua ini hasil kerja keras kita sendiri. Karena kita lahir, bangkit, berkarya, maju, tua dan hanya akan terbenam di negeri ini.

Hidup Indonesia! MERDEKA!

-Diketik saat cuaca mendung dan menanti jam kerja usai-

Ada juga yang mungkin tidur seharian, shopping seharian, mandi seharian (ada ga ya?), reuni dengan keluarga, maupun yang ikutan lomba-lomba yang diselenggarakan di kelurahan masing-masing. Ah, senangnya membayangkan hal itu.

Hm…I think I miss this blog. Eheh! I don’t really have something to write. But I’ll try!

How much have we progressed?

Let’s look back to my friend’s birthday party. There was this moment when he blew his candle - it’s a 22 - then I realized, how old we were already! Oh no!!! How come I didn’t realize that when I blew mine? Maybe I tried not to admit it. Eheheh!

Anyway, that’s not what I want to talk about. I want to talk about how much I’ve come to make my dreams come true.

I’m currently working at Medan PC (Propagation Centre). Place where you’l find me from morning to night. I love it! More than anywhere I could be working at. And I feel lucky, coz it’s really hard to find what you really want to do.

I saw my old friend today. But I guess he’s forgotten me. I didn’t call or say hello to him. He looked so bad. So much more older (as I remembered, we’re at the same age), less happier, and don’t know what to do. He didn’t visit the PC as much as I am. If only he did more, he might be like me too.

At PC I learnt so many things. How to deal with people, how to organize an event, and how to do everything (even things we don’t like). Coz, by doing that, I now know roughly where I should go and what my dream is. And what I really want to do! Eheh!

I hope, you all will find what you want to do! Coz, after you find that, you’ll feel that life’s so new everyday.

Hoahm…it’s such a hotty day today! Hope it’ll be raining tomorrow! Have a nice dreams everyone…

Life’s something like you’re riding a fast car. It happens fast, just as fast as you can imagine. In a very moment, things changed. So fast that sometimes we didn’t even realize about it. It’s not something rare when in some condition we’re forced to changed, though we didn’t want to. That’s when you won’t have a good sleep.

…

Problems. That’s the word that no one likes, except, maybe for some people who like to create one or two.

When we’re young, we might not have that much problems. But as we grow up, we will certainly have some. From simple problems, like money, then it gets bigger, like love, and the biggest one, maybe dreams.

…

It might not be easy to find out what your dream is. And it might be tough to make it comes true. But, do you know that for some people it’s not that?

To me, the toughest one is to face the truth, when after you found out what your dream was, tried your best to make it came true, but still, for some reason you wouldn’t be able to hold that dreams till the end. Not because you wouldn’t, just because you couldn’t.

…

I…felt like…hh…hh…hh. But…maybe there’s some reason out there for me to find out why that dream can’t be mine.

There’s one story in Buddhism about some fish that want to become a dragon. They have to swim through a waterfall - from the bottom to the top of it. It’s not just about the flow from the waterfall. There are also fishers, bears and other obstacles. A lot tried, and a lot died. But some did succeed.

…

I thought that I would be one of them that succeeded to become a dragon. But, the reality is, I don’t even have a chance to. I can’t even touch the water. I can’t even step to the bottom of the waterfall. It’s sad. Very sad. Soooooo sad.

…

I couldn’t bear that feeling and kept telling myself that that dream is mine. It’s mine and always mine. But I was wrong…kinda stupid. Then I realized, I shouldn’t sit and gave up hope. Maybe I should try my best to touch the water first. If, I ended up fail, then I should maybe find another waterfall. A waterfall that is designated for me.

…

Some people don’t have dreams and they have fun for entire of their life time. Some others have it and made it came true.                                                 Some don’t even bother about it.                                                                Some have a change of mind and go for it.                                                 Some try hard to find one.                                                                            And some struggle for the whole of their life time to hold on it.

###

Base on a pretty true story of a boy who still struggle for his dream.

It’s been so much fun, during my stay in Jakarta & 2 days visit to Bandung…too happy that I can’t tell anything about that. Or maybe I’m not ready yet? Who knows… Anyway, I’ve found another best friend. Actually, I dunno if I deserve to be his best friend, but…I dunno, I just cant tell. Thus, I wrote a song about us, about best friend, about what happened. It’s not really perfect yet, but, I feel like posting it now, since today he wen’t back to his homeland. And it’ll take months till the day we’ll meet again…

Let’s check it out!?

To My Best Friend

Some people say

Weeks were like days

No matter how long we’ve got

It won’t be enough

Time walked too fast

Since the day you came

Now it’s time for you to leave

And for me to wave my hand

*See you my friend

  My true best friend

  Come back next time

  And we’ll have another good time

  Good bye my friend

  My true best friend

  Now you’re leaving with the train

  But please come back to me again

When I hear our song

I’ll remember

When I hear our words

I will remember

Whatever I remember

I’ll remember you

Cause you will always do

Always remind me of you

*

Now the rain falls

Along with my tears

Please tell me how to stop

This tears of mine to drop

The time we spent was really precious & lots lots of fun! But I can’t tell, I dunno how to express it! It’s just fun & I was so happy!

Good night everyone…sweet dreams (–,)Zzz

Yiha…saatnya menulis blog yg tetunda. Sbenarnya kmaren malam uda mo ngisi, tapi, wushh…tiba2 blackout. Mati listrik coi…ahahah. Kali ini mo crita soal ice skating!!! It’s my first time. Let’s start!?

So, buat pertama kalinya, setelah mengurungkan niat bberapa kali, akhirnya aku maen ice skating juga. Eheheh…asemnya yah, temen2 yang pada janjian mo datang itu kaga jadi datang. Jadi, aku cuma b2 aja sama Yuvita. Setelah membayar Rp. 70.000,- (Rp. 30.000,- biaya masuk + Rp. 10.000,- buat locker) kita pun mengesekkan kartu d sana sini buat masuk, ngambil kunci locker & minjam sepatu.

Sbenarnya sih ada layanan buat nyewa pengajar, cuma mahal…Rp.85.000,-. Bayangkan aja…udah bisa brapa kali main? Ahahah! Yah, mau tidak mau, kita pun memijakkan sepatu kita k arena es. Uh…liciiinnn! Susah banget ptama kalinya. Gimana yah…dengan mengandalkan dua lempengan besi yang tertanam d bawah sepatu, kita harus bisa sluncuran d atas lapisan es yg licin. Mana ada bagian yang lapisan atas esnya mencair lagi. Susah kan? Eheheh!

Stelah bergelut beberapa menit & menyeimbangkan diri, akhirnya aku brasil berseluncur. Walo cuma bberapa centi. Ahahah! Sambil melirik kanan kiri, aku mencoba mempelajari trik dr orang2 yang udah mahir. Hasilnya..nihil coi.

Mau ga mau, yah, harus coba sendiri trus. Stelah stengah jam akhirnya aku brasil meluncur lebih jauh…kira2 1M lah. Lumayan…self-taught loh. Ahahah! (nyombong nih) Selang satu jam…kita istirahat. Soalnya sakit banget kakiku, ketat & keras banget tuh spatunya. Bener2 ga nyaman…tapi karena ingin mencoba, yah…you know…eheheh.

Stelah itu, kaga banyak pkembangan. Masih d situ2 aku & temanku bkeliaran. Ga jauh2 banget. Lalu kucoba buat nyebrang dr satu sisi k sisi lainnya. Lumayan loh…bisa. Walo waktu mluncurnya masih mlenceng2. Lucunya nih yah, pas satu saat aku dah mo jatuh, tapi, dengan gaya pemain kungfu d film2 aku brasil menyeimbangkan tubuh dan jongkok dengan satu tangan menyentuh arena es. Busett! Cewe2 d skitar pada nyorakin…tengsin ah! Huahaha! Klo k ingat itu bener2 luchu. Ada lagi nih…pas mo nyebrang juga. Jadi saat uda d tengah2 gitu, tiba2 ada yang nyelonong k depanku. Dengan refleks tubuhku, ga tahu gmana, aku brasil brenti dengan sdikit memutar (padahal sblumnya udah blajar buat brenti tapi kaga brasil). Senengnya bukan maeeeeeennnnn! Huahaha! Sayangnya stlah itu, aku coba ga bisa lagi. Hiks!

Satu hal yang membanggakan sampai saat itu adalah aku blum jatuh skali pun. Hebat kan? Eheheh…kira2 udah bermaen 1jam 10menit, arena mo d bersihkan. Pake mobil gitu. Nunggu deh jadinya…untung waktunya ga d hitung (skali bayar maen tuk 2jam). Jadi ga rugi. Eheheh!

Slesai bersih2 permukaan es, kita lanjut maen lagi. Tapi si Yuvita udah nyerah. Katanya mata kakinya udah melepuh. Sendirian deh…d sinilah inti critanya. Saat detik2 trakhir, aku memutuskan tuk skali lagi nyebrang dari sisi k sisi tuk trakhir kali sblum kluar dr arena skating. Karena pnasaran dengan cara nyetop waktu skating, aku pengen nyoba lagi. Saat itulah aku JATUH! Layaknya first-timer, spertinya tidak ada kata tidak jatuh. Uhuhuh! Sperti dalam kartun2 aja, bokongku dengan kerasnya menghantam permukaan es yang keras. Auuuww! Sakitnya minta ampun. Saking lemasnya, kupikir kaga bisa berdiri lagi. Asli, lemas banget loh karena sakitnya. Ahahah! Untunglah ga serius banget. Habis itu buru2 aku balik nyebrang & kemas2 buat keluar. Malu kan? Saat2 trakhir lagi. Ahahah! Tapi bener2 menyenangkan! Tanoshikata desu yo!

Bgitulah pengalaman ptama dgn ice skating! Lain kali aku akan coba lagi…penasaran dgn cara nyetopnya nih. Eheheh!

Alright…udah cukup larut. Saatnya membaringkan badan yang pegel2 ini d atas tempat tidur. Good night everyone…

Bayangkan klo setiap ada bau kentut, kamulah yang jadi tersangka utama. Bagaimana rasanya? Ahahah! Aku sih cuek aje…wong aku emang tukang kentut, jadi ga heran klo temen2 pada langsung curiga. Eheheh…

Kentut…is that a sin? Klo dulu sih aku ga pede banget buat buang angin d depan org2 pada. Tapi…waktu brubah..demikian pula aku. Anyway…bukankah sangat menyenangkan untuk bisa kentut? Berikut adalah alasan2 yang…yah, mungkin bisa masuk akal mungkin tidak. It’s up to you!?

Pertama, kentut itu bisa mendatangkan bahagia. Saat ada seseorang yang kentut, bukankah semuanya akan tertawa menahan napas? Maka tak heran kentut juga dijuluki "gas ketawa" ato "gas kebahagiaan".

Kedua, mnurut temanku yang mendapat info ini (dari dokter kali), bahwa salah satu kriteria orang akan dikatakan sehat adalah klo kentutnya itu 14 kali setiap hari. Nah loh…bayangkan klo kentut d tahan2. Gak sehat kan?

Ketiga, aku rasa dua alasan d atas sudah cukup mewakili.

Keempat, baca yang no 3.

Kelima, emang masih ada?

Ahahah! Bgitulah mnurut aku soal kentut ini. Dan stiap ngomongin kentut, slalu tringat akan crita lucu waktu kuliah.

Suatu malam, pas aku sedang sibuk2nya nyuci (keknya ya) tiba2 temen satu kosku yang lagi bebaring d atas tempat tidurku memanggil. Sesampainya aku d depan pintu kamar, dia kasih tahu klo kasurku ada bau aneh. Malu dong ye klo kasurnya bau, abis itu ktauan org. Kontan cepet2 kucium daerah yang d tunjuk. BUUUUSSSSEEETTTT!!! Tnyata dia baru kentut d atas kasurku. Tak puas dengan itu, dia menipuku untuk menciumnya! Ahahahah! D kerjain abis nih!?

Bgitulah critanya. Okie deh…blog kali ini sampe d sini.

Oh ya, akhirnya Medan yang sudah satu minggu ini dilanda kepanasan yang merajalela, diguyur hujan juga. Walopun cuma sbentar, tapi, ah, yang penting menyejukkan.

Malam smuanya…have a nice day tomorrow!

Can you smeeeeelllll the rain? Ain’t it nice? Eheh…it’s been raining these few days. Guess what…I’ll tell a lil’ bit story bout my childhood and the rain. Here you go…

Tahu dong yang namanya Jalan Wahidin-nya Kota Medan? Yang klo hujan deras itu sering tergenang air. Aku baru sadar hal ini kmaren, saat aku bli pulsa d Jalan Wahidin dekat simpang Jalan Duyung…krena hujan deras sblumnya jalan skitarnya digenangi air kira2 20cm. Pas lagi nunggu d pinggir jalan, tiba2 srasa berada d tepi pantai. Soalnya airnya jadi berombak, lantaran banyaknya kendaraan yang lalu lalang. Cuma laut yang biasanya dilayari kapal, malam itu d lalui kendaraan darat. Ahahah! Kata temanku sih seandainya airnya bersih mungkin bakal banyak anak2 yang maen air.

Ngungkit soal maen air, jadi ingat waktu kecil, kala hujan deras mengguyur Kota Medan, dan air d selokan turut naik k atas…aku sering duduk d kursi kayu panjang d teras sambil memperhatikan hujan yang turun. Sambil menunggu hujan reda, aku akan mempersiapkan kapal kertas untuk d lepaskan d selokan. Apakah anak2 sekarang masih maen yang bgituan? Mungkin ortunya bakal bilang, "Jangan main itu! Kan kotor!?" Ahahah!

Klo ortuku sih kaga tlalu ketat soal itu. Bisa d bilang mereka bisa d ajak buat kompromi. Jadi aku agak bebas buat maen2, dari yang bersih sampe yang kotor. Waktu kecil slain maen kapal2an sih, sering maen nangkap lalat - baik itu memakai sapu lidi maupun kantung plastik, nangkap ikan gobi yang ada d selokan, masak2 dedaunan dengan lilin dan tutup kaleng juga batu bata sbagai penahannya, kadang menangkap capung lalu mengikatkan benang d ekornya dan dterbangkan sebagai layang2 (sadis tidak yah?), banyak dah.

Pernah skali, klo tidak salah pas baru slesai hujan, aku maen2 spatu rodaan, padahal kaga bisa sama skali - pas banget dengan lantai yang basah dan licin. Gubrak!? Jatuh dengan kening mendarat d lantai…bdarah loh!? Ahahah! Scepatnya aku d larikan k rumah sakit d belakang rumahku, jahitan pun membekas d keningku. Bukan cuma skali lukanya, sampai 2 kali dan pada tempat yang sama. Cuma yang skali lagi lupa krena apa… Nakal!? Uh!? Eheheh!

Untung aja bokap nyokap kaga marah. Anyway, yang kusukai dari bokap waktu kecil adalah kita slalu d ajak jalan2, trutama saat malam minggu. Biasanya si pergi k Deli Plaza. Dulu ada "ride" yang namanya Happy Dragon. Roller coaster mini yang bentuknya naga. Klo k sana pasti naek itu. Seru sih. Lalu akan k supermarket buat bli2 permen & snack. Tapi waktu kecil (skarang juga kali) aku kaga tlalu suka blanja2 makanan. Ga congok lah istilahnya. Eheheh! Klo nyokap sih paling menyenangkan saat menidurkan aku. Biasanya pantatku akan d tepuk2 ringan dan jari2 kecilku selalu mengelus tahi lalat berwarna biru yang cukup besar (+5mm) miliknya (ada pada punggung yangan kirinya) sampai aku tertidur. Ayunannya juga sangat menyenangkan. Lalu nyokap itu sangat protektif. Pernah saat aku d marahi dan d hukum guru SD d skola krena buku laporan ulangan (rapot?) ku ilang. Padahal udah kukembalikan. Langsung nyokap k skola nyari gurunya dan d beri plajaran lah guru tsebut. Tnyata buku rapotnya tselip d meja guru lain. Ahahahah!

Menyenagkan! Masa kecilku menyenangkan bagiku! Mungkin tidak banyak harta bergelimpangan waktu itu, tapi aku benar2 mrasakan kehangatan yang menentramkan. Tapi apakah aku yang skarang, bisa d katakan membanggakan mereka yang sudah spenuh hatinya membesarkanku? Mungkin tidak sekarang…tapi, tunggulah. Saat waktunya adtang kita akan tahu sendiri. Seperti halnya masa kecil kita yang begitu spontan dan alami. Bgitupun smuanya spatutnya bjalan hingga kita tua nanti.

My father is on the far right.

Me on my Mom arms, with my two sisters in front of us.

The one on scout’s uniform’s my brother.

Aku suka foto lama, spertinya menyimpan bgitu banyak kenangan.

Wah, hujan sudah berhenti. Sudah saatnya mematikan komputer dan lampu. Menebarkan slimut lebar2 lalu menyusup k dalamnya mencoba untuk tidur sambil mendengarkan lagu lama yang mungkin sedang tidak hits, namun membawakan arti yang mendalam.

Slamat tidur smuanya dan mimpi indahlah…

So…guess it’s time for a new blog. But, first of all, it’s not that I crazy about blog, Junitha. My first thought to start a blog was becoz I didn’t want some of my best days on earth to be forgotten. So, I wrote it down on the blog. Eheheh!

Well, let’s start the story about my trip.

Wed, 7 June 2006 - Sunny & Pretty Hot

My uncle & I flew to Singapore with SilkAir (was my first time) aroung 9.50 a.m. I found it pretty different though. Normally there’ll be a safety instruction from some stewardess on the aircraft, but that time, we had to watched the instruction through a small tv, right below the cabin. Sophisticated eh? Or, it’s me being out-dated? Eheh…then, I kind of liked its refreshment. We had curry puff & peanut muffin. Delisioso…Ahahah!

To make it short, we arrived at Changi Int Airport. Took around an hour or so. Thud, thud, thud…after the "stamping gate" we headed through the exit and got a taxi. So, we stayed at this place call Jalan Lada Puteh No. 7. Costs around S$15 - S$16. Then we threw the luggages and looked for lunch. It’s a pretty stategic place you know. Becoz we’re surrounded by so many mall, plaza, and shopping centre. I think it took around 1 or 2 minutes to get to the Orchard Road. Nice isn’t it? Anyway, we got our lunch at Lucky Plaza. I ate roasted pork rice if I’m not mistaken. Eheh…then we took a lil’ walk around the Orchard Road, since we’re too full. Eheheh. Not much to do that afternoon. So we headed back to our "home" and took a nap.

That night, we went to this place called "Gu Chia Zui" (Buffalo Water Cart?), which was actually S’pore China Town. Costed around S$5 - S$6 by a cab.We had our dinner, then walked around the place. Nothing much were done there. And, unfortunately I didn’t bring my camera, so I couldn’t show you how’s the surrounding. The interesting thing was that I saw a 2-storey-bus with my own eyes for the first time. AHAHAH! After miles of walking, we looked for a cab to get back "home" and had some rest.

Thu, 8 June 2006 -Drizzling & Rainy

Ah, think I haven’t told you why my uncle & I went to S’pore. Actually my uncle was looking up for medical check up. And the schedule was to go to Mount Elisabeth Hospital. I didn’t have any breakfast that morning. Since my uncle needed to get his stomach empty before check up. Around 11, the check up was done then we looked for brunch. Finally…eheh…and, again, we got back to "home" for rest. My uncle said he’s not so well, maybe becoz pretty much blood had been drained from him for the check up. Hh…I think this time trip wasn’t really nice. First, I didn’t really know places around S’pore. Second, the living expenses was high there. You know what that means? NO GOOD SHOPPING! Ahahah!

After some rest, we went to "Guan Im Deng" (Temple of Avalokitesvara?). Ah, I forgot what’s the road called. Costed around S$5 - S$6 too. Here, there’s a temple which worshipped a goddess, called "Guan Im" or Avalokitesvara. Pretty weird though. Since close to the gate, you’d see people praying to and from different directions. Ah, I dunno how to describe it. In front of the temple, there were stalls selling flowers. Then not far from there, stood a statue of Buddha Amitabha. There’re some superstitious poeple doing, er, pretty funny thing, which was rubbing the statue all over the head & body, like wishing for good luck I guess. Then not far away, there were a lot more & bigger stalls selling various kind of products, starting from a cloth hanger, plants, food, medicine, cloths, souvenir, to the fortune telling. If in Medan, maybe you could only see a star on stage with a clip on microphone, there it’s used by almost every seller. Ahahah!

I couldn’t make up my mind that day was my good or bad day. The rain poured down almost non stop, but I bought some new shirts too. You know, shopping. Eheheh…maybe it’s a good shopping day with bad weather. Eheh.

After goig back to "home", rested, & took a bath, we tried to have a walk further around Orchard Road again. I heard it’s a very crowded road, since everyone on that road, mostly, walked. But, that night, maybe becoz of the rain, it’s not as crowded as it should have seemed. It’s pretty tiring to walk from one corner to the other. And, the zebra cross were pretty far from one another. People living around the area must had had a stong legs, since they walked so much. Ahahah!

Just like usual, we went back to "home" & slept.

Fri, 9 June 2006 - Rainy & Rainy

Ow…I know I like rain, but, that day was pretty bad. We couldn’t go anywhere since it’s raining heavily in the morning. Fortunately it turned to drizzling around 10 a.m. Then we hurried ourselves to the hospital for my uncle’s further check up. Same thing happened again. No breakfast. Luckily, the excitement from the plan for shopping helped me forget the hunger. Ahahah! Right after we finished the hospital thingy, we rushed for our lunch. That day, I shopped pretty much. Shirt, skater pants, & er, underwear. Eheh…I always love to have nice underwear. Most of them, sporty, I guess. Becoz, I think we need to have nice underwear too, besides for the tops & bottoms. It’s just what I thought…though I don’t think I can show it to my friends. Ahahah!

Well, we did that quickly, becoz that day we had to go back to Medan. The flight was around 7.20 p.m. So, it’s a night flight, my second night flight. And…I was so impatient waiting for the refreshment you know. Ahahah! It’s way so tasty. They served turkey sandwich! Yummy! Ahahah! Then finally we reached Medan around 7.30 p.m. No…it’s not that the flight took only 10 minutes. The time difference between Medan & S’pore is 1 hour. So, you get it now right?

Ah…finally, home sweet home! Never better! That was the quickest trip abroad I guess. What I’ll remember from that trip are hot, rainy, expensive & shopping I guess! Eheheh…

I suppose that should be all for today…good night everyone. Wish everyone a great day tomorrow!

(Arrrrgh…tried to insert some pics, but seems to failed. I’ll load it some other time. Promise. Eheh!)

Fiuh…I almost had something you might call as DISASTER. Know what? I thought that I had lost all my precious messages in my cell phone. But I’m grateful it didn’t. Though I already thought that I should get over it then. Hh…

So, have you ever been like that? You know…waiting impatiently, then reading slowly word by word (sometimes even read it for a few times until you’re satisfied), then keep and save the message so that you can read it again next time, just because that person is so special. Have you? Have you? Have you? Well, that’s what happenned to me. Eheheh…

Wait…it’s not just from someone you might like, but also someone who’s important to you. So, don’t be such a narrow minded okay.

By the way…what should I say now…I wrote a song about that too. About waiting and missing for someone we might like or love. Here you go!

When I get a mail, I hope it’s from you

When I get a message, I hope it’s from you

When I get a call, I hope it’s from you

That I miss you

When I get a greeting, I hope it’s from you

When I get a letter, I hope it’s from you

When I get a chocolate, I hope it’s from you

That I want you

Reff   My love is burning, burning, burning

         My love is hot and hot and hot

         It keeps me running, running, running

         Then flying

         My heart is beating so fast, beating

         My blood is rushing and rushing

         I wanna spend every moment with you

         Now and forever

When I walk on the street, hope I walk with you

When I hold someone’s hands, hope those belong to you

When I sleep at the night, hope I sleep with you

That I need you

When you grow in this world, hope you grow with me

When you live in this world, hope you live with me

When you die from this world, hope you die with me

That I love you

Reff

That’s what I think we all might feel when we’re, well, in love. Eheheh…so, am I in love? Who’s that lucky one? (lucky?) Ahahah!!! Only heaven knows…

Good night everyone…sweet dreams.
