Bantu Aku

Ini lagu lama.
Dan sudah lama juga saya tidak mendengarkan lagu ini. Terakhir mendengarkan lagu ini dalam keadaan mood terjun bebas jatuh kedalam jurang, kurang lebih tanggal 24 Agustus di tahun 2000.

Dan tahun ini kembali saya memutarnya berulang-ulang untuk menaikkan mood saya yang terjun bebas lagi ini :)


Catatan : video ini bukan video asli dari KLa Project, tapi hanya ini yang bisa saya dapat di Youtube :D hahah..

Biar kuutarakan saja
Segenap rasa mengendap di dada
Lewati desah nada lagu
Walau sumbang terlanda sendu

Suratku, seribu makna
Bagimu, dambaan jiwa
Masih tetap terjaga s’lalu
Sebentuk cinta kasihku buatmu

Sejak kau tanamkan harapan
Kusambut dan membuka tangan
Tega kau buyarkan impian

Bantu aku, lari dari bayangmu
Hasrat melupakanmu
Usah lagi, senyum sapamu mengganggu
Engkau bukan untukku

Terlanjur aku terjatuh
Mencoba bangkit dan berjalan lagi

Eh gosipnya konser KLa Project yang dijadwalkan 26 Juli 2013 jadi ke bulan Agustus. Hmm semoga punya kesempatan untuk nonton dan mereka menyanyikan lagu ini :)

Manusia Bodoh

This is an old song. But it felt good in my ears nowadays.

Dahulu terasa indah
Tak ingin lupakan
Bermesraan selalu jadi satu kenangan manis

Tiada yang salah
Hanya aku manusia bodoh
Yang biarkan semua ini permainkanku
Berulang ulang kali

Reff :
Mencoba bertahan sekuat hati
Layaknya karang yang dihempas sang ombak
Jalani hidup dalam buai belaka
Serahkan cinta tulus di dalam takdir

Tak ayal tingkah lakumu
Buatku putus asa
Kadang akal sehat ini
Tak cukup membendungnya

Hanya kepedihan
Yang selalu datang menertawakanku
Engkau belahan jiwa
Tega menari indah di atas tangisanku

Bridge :
Semua kisah pasti ada akhir
Yang harus dilalui
Begitu juga akhir kisah ini
Yakinku indah

Tapi sampai kapankah kuharus
Menanggungnya kutukan cinta ini
Bersemayam dalam kalbu

Sampai kapan?

Shopping and Social Network

Anyone here like to shop, raise your hands! Siapa sih yang gak suka belanja? Dari model belanja gila-gilaan, belanja impulsif, maupun belanja yang direncanakan, belanja sudah merupakan bagian dari hidup kita. Dan, jaman sekarang, segala sesuatu dalam hal perbelanjaan sudah dimudahkan dengan adanya internet. Yes, online shopping. It is something that well-known these days.

Kenapa online shopping itu menyenangkan? Soalnya kita tinggal pilih barang, bayar, kemudian barang diantarkan di alamat yang telah kita berikan. Tentunya harus pilih-pilih “toko” tempat kita berbelanja secara online ini :D

#MyanmarTrip – The Departure

Mendengar kata “Myanmar”, beberapa dari kita pasti langsung teringat dengan film hollywood “The Lady” yang mengisahkan tentang perjuangan dan biografi dari Aung San Suu Kyi. Negara ini merupakan salah satu negara yang bukan tujuan favorit di Asia :D tapi entah kenapa, saya malah jadi lebih penasaran untuk ke Myanmar ini.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Future Tense

In grammar, a future tense is a verb form that marks the event described by the verb as not having happened yet, but expected to happen in the future.

This week photo challenge is about “future tense“, which will be expected for some visions of the future, daydreams, and wishes frozen in time.

Below is the photo of incoming train, nearby my home. This train has not arrived yet, but it is expected to arrived in the future, which is in a few minutes after I took this picture.

No one can see the future, nobody can guess what the future is. The train above is expected to be arrive in a few minutes after the shoot. But nobody can be really sure whether the train will be stop, or just passing by, or explode!

Since nobody knows exactly what will happen about their future, so we put our hope and expectation to wishes, dreams, and prayers for our future. Below is a picture of one of the streets in Yangon – Myanmar. I took a short walk nearby of our hotel.

At that time I walk, I walk, I walk on the street. Without knowing what will happen at the end of the road. It was a different country and different language they use. Curious killed the scary part, and my feet just walk on. My expectation is at the end of the road I will find something interesting to write about ^_^

The future is the indefinite time period after the present. Its arrival is considered inevitable due to the existence of time and the laws of physics.

And as I write this post, I remember a quote : “The past can not be changed, and the future is unsure. But we can learn from the past and change a better future.”

So, how about you? How about your future?
Do you think you know what will happen? Did you ever pray for your future? Tell me :)

Weekly Photo Challenge : Lunchtime

Eating is something that you should do if you a human. Of course, any mankind on this earth surely like to eat. Especially when we are in a deep hungry state.

Anyway, in the big city, lunchtime has so many meaning. Lunch meeting, lunch date, etc. And lunch typically falls in the early-middle of the working day, it can either be eaten on a break from work, or as part of the workday. The difference between those who work through lunch and those who take it off could be a matter of cultural, social class, bargaining power, or the nature of the work.

Regularly, I cooked my own lunch, and bring it to the work. It is just for financial reason :p but when I woke up late or when I just don’t have any mood to cook, I will have lunch nearby my workplace. Nothing special with my daily lunchtime.

Last Christmas day, I had lunch with some of my family. It was something that unusual, since we are rarely meet each other. Here’s a picture of us, happily eating those Szechuan dining.

Playlist of the Week

Every morning and afternoon when I drive to my work, I often listen to the radio. Actually any kind of the radio, but recently I stay tuned on Cosmopolitan FM radio.

There are some songs that really into me.

First one is “Be OK” from Ingrid Michaelson.
This song actually was her first single. The song was featured in a commercial break, some TV serials. It wasn’t that cheesy and the very simple refrain of the song caught by my ears. I quickly soundhound the song, and found the title :D

“I just want to be ok, be ok, be ok / I just want to be ok today / I just want to feel today, feel today, feel today / I just want to feel something today”

Yes, I just want to be ok today, tomorrow, and everafter ^_^

Second one is “Home” by Phillip Phillips.
“Home” is the debut single and coronation song from American Idol season 11 winner Phillip Phillips. The lyric is so touchy, and I suddenly feel that I wanna go home. Yes, home. But where’s my home?

I want someone say to me that “….The trouble it might drag you down / If you get lost, you can always be found / Just know you’re not alone / Cause I’m gonna make this place your home…”

Third, “It’s Amazing” a song by Jem.
This song was the first single released from her second album Down to Earth. The song was featured in the 2008 film Sex and the City and on the official soundtrack.

It was a great song to encourage people who are in a deep frustration, and can get up back to their feet again. “It’s amazing, it makes my heart sing…. Yes you will hit a wall / But get back on your feet / And you’ll be stronger and smarter…”

Fourth, it’s The Sundays with their “When I’m Thinking About You” :)
It’s one of the songs in Static and Silence album of The Sundays.

Remember my post L’amour et la Douleur? At the end of the post, I wish that I don’t want to wake up? I think this song is good to go with that post :)

Let the daydream for a little while longer / ah.. yeah… / hope I’ll never wake / when I’m thinking about you / (yeah) hope I’ll never wake / cos now I’m thinking about you

Fifth, Way Back Into Love by Hugh Grant.
This song is a pop song, written by Adam Schlesinger, from the 2007 film Music and Lyrics. There are two versions: a demo version sung by Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore and the final version sung by Hugh Grant and Haley Bennett.
It was used as the love theme in the film, much of whose plot revolves around the writing and arranging of the song.

And the refrain really made me in a mellow mode of mood hahaha :D
“All I wanna do is find a way back into love. / I can’t make it through without a way back into love.”

And if I open my heart to you,
I’m hoping you’ll show me what to do,
And if you help me to start again,
You know that I’ll be there for you in the end!

There… are my playlist of the week. How about yours? ^_^
