when summer ends, another story begins


I remember...
The way you glanced at me, yes I remember
I remember...
When we caught a shooting star, yes I remember
I remember.. All the things that we shared, and the promise we made, just you and I
I remember.. All the laughter we shared, all the wishes we made, upon the roof at dawn

Do you remember..?
When we were dancing in the rain in that december
And I remember.. When my father thought you were a burglar
I remember.. All the things that we shared, and the promise we made, just you and I
I remember.. All the laughter we shared, all the wishes we made, upon the roof at dawn

I remember..
The way you read your books, yes I remember
The way you tied your shoes, yes I remember
The cake you loved the most, yes I remember
The way you drank your coffee, I remember

The way you glanced at me, yes I remember
When we caught a shooting star, yes I remember
When we were dancing in the rain in that december..

And the way you smiled at me,
yes I remember...

--I Remember, Mocca


I'm not wishing or anything. I'm not looking for the sunlight out of this cloudy morning.
Maybe Kay's right, I'm too sceptical.


But I would vow to myself. That having this feeling for you doesn't mean pain in my heart.


You're a good friend of mine, and I am remembering you.

kisses and cakes

This morning, I saw the granddaughter of my landlord kissed her grandma's cheeks before she went to school. I felt so... envious. My family's just so far I won't be able to have such warmth, no matter how badly I want it. I really want to kiss my grandma's cheek before I go to work, too. And my mom, of course. And a little hug from Dad surely won't hurt.

I sound so sad, don't I? My heart breaks a little as I'm writing this.
But just now, two faces came across my mind and I realize that I am not the only one feeling this way. How can I complain like this while I'm still able to go home and meet them once a month, if I want to. I mean, I'm not living in my country's eastern zone, right? (And speaking of zone, yesterday my boss told me it's okay if I want to join the dinas luar so I'd be able to know what Sumatra's like. Oh, surely I want to know what it is like. Been dreaming of going to Aceh for years, and I'd love to try kue lapis in Lampung which looks so delicious.)

And then, faces reappears in my mind. I remember my friends, and how far they are now, from me and their beloved ones, and how they struggle with this... So I came to this conclusion, that in this loneliness, I am not alone.

It seems like Surya and I have to read/learn more about the tata persuratan, considering how (bad) we were scolded ^ ^;
Gonna get through Prajab all over again?
Naah~
^ ^o
Not without you...
;p

Now, the bahasa section.

bakery yang oke itu yang...
1. mau dibayar dengan sistem kredit (kadang-kadang kantor kesulitan mendapat dana cair)
2. menunya variatif, ada kue yang asin, ada pula yang manis. Setiap hari diganti, ada kue lapis, soes kering, eclair, lemper... Jangan roti manis teruuss... bosaan...
3. kuenya dibuat dalam ukuran kecil, dengan bentuk dan dekorasi yang cantik... jangan besar-besar dan berat, soalnya snack rapat kan cuma buat pengganjal perut, bukan sesuatu yang berat dan bikin ngantuk ^ ^

Hihi, girls' talk banget ya. Harapan konsumen ini, yang terlalu sering rapat dan terlalu sering makan lemper sampai mukanya udah kaya lemper, hehehe.. *hiperbolis*
Well, aku sih nggak sering... :)

Speaking of snack, snack waktu diskusi 'Bagaimana Jika Laskar Pelangi Difilmkan' itu manis/cute banget ^ ^

evergreen

I lie awake beside the window still
like a flower in a vase
a moment caught in glass

the rays of sunshine come and beckon me
to a sleepy dreamy haze
a sense of summer days

If only I could stop the flow of time
turn the clock to yesterday
erasing all the pain


I've only memories of happiness
such pleasure we have shared
I'd do it all again

The scenery is evergreen
as buds turn into leaves, the colours live and breathe
the scenery is evergreen
your tears are falling silently

so full of joy, you are a child of spring
with a beauty that is pure
an innocence endures

You flow right through me like a medicine
bringing quiet to my soul
without you I'm not whole

the scenery is evergreen
I need you far too much, I long to feel your touch
the scenery is evergreen
you've always been so dear to me

the scenery is evergreen
the sorrows at the sight of seeing you so sad
this scenery is evergreen
I wish that i could dry your tears

The bells have rung, the time has come
I cannot find the words to say my last goodbye
the scenery is evergreen
you've always been so dear to me.

^ ^ Most people hate it when someone only post lyrics on their blog.
But sometimes it's nice to do.
I personally, liked this song even when I had no idea what was in it. And it turned out to be so sad, just the same as the melody. Inspiring, for me who love sad stories (though don't really wish I'd experience one ^-^ )

Which HP Kid Are You?


I was taken aback to know that I am most likely like Harry Potter.
But I shouldn't have, considering I always play James in my during-the-class-and-holiday chat with my bestfriend (she's Sirius). And everyone says to Harry that, "You're so like your father," or something like that.

Much more later.

Hugs,
