Crush - Jennifer Paige (a song) Seeing you and me I guess it doesn’t take a scientist to understand what’s going on baby… If you see something in my eyes, let’s not over-analyzed Don’t go too deep with it baby So let it be what it’ll be Don’t make a fuss and get crazy over you and me.. Here’s what I’ll do, I’ll play loose Run like we have a day with destiny… It’s just a little crush Not like I faint every time we touch It’s just some little things Not like everything I do… depends on you… Syalala syalala It’s raising my adrenaline, You’re banging on heart But please don’t get too much of it baby You say the word “forevermore” But that’s not what I’m looking for All I can commit to is “maybe” So let it be what it’ll be Don’t make a fuss and get crazy over you and me.. Here’s what I’ll do, I’ll play loose Run like we have a day with destiny…

River Boarding, a new adrenaline sport I fell in love with

When Mayawati Nur Halim asked me to join rafting and surfing I said no, coz I thought, well those two are not my thing....
But when she introduced me to this one, I fell in love instantly....

Where else can you wear full set diving gear plus helmet and life vest in the river if not for this amazing sport?
Funny? well you may laugh. I did, at first. But then, hey that's just the best way to protect you from getting hurt while doing it.

3 times in row within a month, I tried this new sport and I fell in love and now I love it even more... Looking forward to try more challenging currents...

So, what is Riverboarding?

Puisi-puisi gila-koe

Aroma-mu

Aku tenggelam dalam aroma tubuhmu
yang menusuk sampai ke kedalaman tulangku
Tak mampu kukibaskan denyutnya hingga membuatku teriak
Tak sanggup kuhentakkan hingga membuatku berontak.

Pesonamu begitu dalam walau hanya batas hayal
Semerbakmu begitu kuat walau hanya sekelebat
Geloramu begitu dahsyat walau kadang menggeliat

Kuragu akan diriku yang tak mampu tahan gejolak
Kurindu hasratmu yang terus membludak
Kuraba anganku yang tumbuh tak terinjak
Kudaki asa yang meninggi walau pahit mengikat
Kutimbun riak waktu yang kerap usik melekat
Kukungkung utuh diri dalam lirih menyekat
Kulari dan kulari namun kini kutercekat

Kusadari kuberada dalam penjara nan mengilat
Kutakut terjatuh dan terhempas dalam lubang nan pekat
Kuterhanyut, kuterbuai, kuterikat, keterlena, kuterpenjara
Walau kutahu ini sementara.....................


Jakarta, Nov 2009 - Feb 2011




Galau

Seruan hati yang tak terbendung ...
mau kemana langkahnya?
Seribu tanya menggelayut tak tentu arah
Ada asa, namun tak mampu berkata-kata
Cemas...Galau....Resah....

...biarlah waktu yang menjawab semua dan cinta kan temukan jalannya sendiri.....


Jakarta, New Year's Eve, 2011



Rindu

Asa dan harap hanya pada satu penantian yang pasti dan berujung.
Tiada badai penghalang akan semua harap kecuali ketakutan akan asa itu sendiri
Semakin jendela itu terbuka semakin terhempaslah ia.
Ijinkan ia berhenti dan berhembus dengan lembut namun pasti
Sehingga tiada ia menjelma menjadi badai dan mengoyak luka pada satu masa
Jadikan ia mercusuar
Jadikan ia marina-mu sehingga biduk-biduk indah menghampirinya untuk bersandar
Jadikan ia setiamu yang mampu membuka cakrawala masa depan bersama
Jadikan ia warnamu, resahmu, lagumu, jiwamu, dalam setiap hembusan nafasmu...

Rasa itu semakin dekat menghampiri namun tak jua dimengerti.....

Ruang Kosong

Rumah ini terlalu kosong, katanya....
Isilah! kataku.... (seperti ruang hampa di sudut hatiku yang hanya kau saja yang bisa tinggali)

Tempat ini sepi, katanya....
Bersoraklah! kataku.... (seperti keramaian hatiku ketika bersamamu)

Laut ini dalam, katanya...
Selamilah! kataku... (seperti rinduku untuk kau selami hatiku setiap waktu)

Aku tersesat, kataku....
Bacalah peta! katamu.... (seperti engkau membaca peta jiwaku)

Aku terjatuh, katanya...
Bertahanlah! kataku.... (karena ku adalah penopang hidupmu, dalam susah dan senang... bersama... selalu.....)


Jakarta, October - November 2010

would you be a smart person?

Intelligence is something you know by heart and action, not only by words you say.
Mean what you say, say what you mean, then people will react positively to you....

Positive thinking will lead to positive action
Positive action will lead to positive reaction
Positive reaction will create positive attitude
Positive attitude will create positive behavior
Positive behavoir will lead to positive thinking
Thus the circle begins...

I believe smart people don't just come by accident, they trained themselves to be smart.
How about you?

Trip to Zero KM - Sabang, P.Weh, Aceh

It was an impulsive decision to take this trip to Sabang, last weekend (plus 1 Monday) 28 - 31 January 2011

Udah ada ada keinginan utk pergi ke Sabang, P.Weh, menjajal trip di Nol Kilometer ujung barat Indonesia. Tapi selalu tertunda dengan pikiran "nanti deh, tunggu punya license diving"

Ternyata ujian Open Water gue ga kunjung tiba, dan masuk bulan Februari pastinya bakal hectic ama kerjaan. So, walhasil and walnekad :D browsing lah semua tiket penerbangan menuju Banda Aceh. Awalnya mau di libur Imlek tp apadaya kantong tereak dengan harga tiket pesawatnya :(

Ajak mengajak akhirnya cuma berhasil ngajak satu orang buddy yg minat ke Aceh tapi dengan merubah tanggal keberangkatan lebih awal. Browsing lagi, and.... voila!! dapetlah tiket Sriwijaya Air PP Jak-BandaAceh, transit Medan seharga Rp. 1.250 pp. Not bad kan?

What next? Bongkar catatan milis. Eh Rio Indrawan baru aja dari sana. mantab nih, catper-nya bisa dipinjem .. hehe, thanks Rio... plus info no telp Ibu Saliza-Iboih Inn dari Om Adolf.

Nekad? yes, lumayan nekad, krn ga pake acara ketemuan dulu sama Ardi, buddy gue yg mo berangkat bareng.... email2an, telp2an, then ketemu di airport... brangkattzzzz!!!

Walhasil, petualangan seru di P. Weh kita dapatkan.

berhubung panjang, so, cerita lengkapnya nanti ya, disini silakan dinikmati foto2nya aja dulu......

Monggo.....

Macro: Little Mr.Grashopper on my finger

When we (Ardi, another guest at Iboih Inn called Widi,, and myself) were having dinner at Camoe Cafe, Iboih Inn, we were surprised by this tiny weeny little Mr. Grasshopper who stood still on my finger.

I was amused by him, fascinated by his beautiful yet calm figure, I took the opportunity to take pictures of him.
Widi was excited as well, he set my camera into macro setting, then voila!!!
Little Mr. Grasshopper was a star and my finger was the stage....

Such a beautiful animal ... :)

I am so blessed to capture you, Mr. Grasshopper
