Counting down

Apakah yang sangat kunanti-nantikan saat ini???

Jawabannya adalah the end of my internship!!!!!!!
^^

not that I don't like my internship, I enjoyed it really. It's just that I want to have my holiday soon!!!! ^^
Mulailah aku meng-count down... 1 month 2 days...

Where I'm going to go?
Barcelona for 2 days, Rome for 3 days, Volterra (just visit), and Florence for 2 days.
^^
These are the places that I haven't been there yet, and now... I'm going to get the experience!
Akhirnya setelah sekian lama ingin pergi ke Vatican, datang juga kesempatan ini.

Tiketku sudah di-booking semua, untuk akomodasi.. hanya tinggal Florence yang harus ditentukan. Train, mungkin bisa kita beli pas harinya.
waaaaa, I'm so excited ^^
Ini akan jadi pengalaman pertama kalinya aku jalan" ke luar negeri dengan teman >.< (well, swiss tidak dihitung ya, berhubung ini sudah menjadi negara tempat tinggalku. hehehe). Dan ini juga akan jadi liburan mandiri terpanjang yang sejauh ini, 1 minggu.
^^

Every sun rise that has come
greet me with a smile every morning
telling me you're nearer to your holiday
by one day
^^

Though I still need to pack all of my things!!
Soalnya kan dengan selesainya internship ini, aku pun juga harus pindah, maka semua barang-barangku yang sudah menggunung ini harus di pack rapi dan disimpan. >.<
Malasnyaaaaaaa......
hehehe

And one more thing, guss what I'm addicted to right now?
something that I never though that I'm going to enjoy it this much!!!!

Love Story

This is my favorite songs right now..
I've been singing these songs since the first time I heard them, just can't get them out of my head lol

the first one is Love Story,
Maybe it's also because of the video that really beautiful that really captures my imagination..
The story of a girl that met her love in a first sight and remember their past life..

It's going to be really wonderful if you could met someone that you'll know just in that second that it's the person you meant to be with....
such a girl imagination lol ^^


Love Story

By: Taylor Swift


We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd
and say hello;

Little did I know
That you were Romeo; you were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."
And I was crying on the staircase,
begging you, 'Please, don't go.'"

And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'"

So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew.
So close your eyes; escape this town for a little while.
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet,"
But you were everything to me; I was begging you, 'Please, don't go,'"

And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'

Romeo save me - they're tryin' to tell me how to feel;
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid; we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story - baby just say "Yes.'"

Oh.

I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever comin' around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town,

And I said,
"Romeo save me - I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in thy head? I don't know what to think-"

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,
"Marry me, Juliet - you'll never have to be alone.
I love you and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad - go pick out a white dress;
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'"

Oh, oh.

We were both young when I first saw you...



The second one is You Belong With Me,
still the same singer, the same type of music


You Belong With Me


You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do

I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do

But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me, you belong with me

Walking the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you're fine, I know you better than that
Hey, what ya doing with a girl like that?

She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me

Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know?
Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me

Oh, I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're 'bout to cry
And I know your favorite songs and you tell me 'bout your dreams
Think I know where you belong, think I know it's with me

Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you?
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me

Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time, how could you not know?
Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me

You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me?
You belong with me

Life goes on...

Hidup itu berjalan seiring dengan waktu, begitu cepat, dan tak terbayangkan.

Oke, saat ini aku sedang berada jauh di negeri orang, menjalani internship sebagai seorang waiter di sebuah restoran Asia. Tinggal di sini sudah bukan sebuah keanehan bagiku. Pergi kesana kemari menggunakan transportasi umum yang nyaman dan aman walau rumit tapi bukan merupakan sebuah masalah lagi. Dengan biasanya aku bisa pergi ke mesin otomatis dengan layar touch-screennya yang dilengkapi dengan bahasa Jerman, Prancis, Itali dan Inggris.

Kesana kemari mendengar orang disekelilingku berbahasa asing, yang juga biasa saja bagiku. Walau aku tak mengerti apa pun yang mereka ocehkan dalam bahasa Jerman, atau pun saat mereka mencoba berkomunikasi dengan bahasa Inggris mereka yang pas-pasan, aku tak masalah.

Aku pun baru sadar.....
5 tahun yang lalu.. saat aku baru mulai masuk SMA, tak terpikir sedikit pun aku akan tinggal di negara yang saat ini resmi menjadi tempatku berdomisili. Bahasa Perancis, Jerman dan Itali sama sekali tak kumengerti. Tinggal dan hidup di sini, sama sekali tak kusangka. Kalau aku dulu ditanya mungkin jawabanku akan 'ga mungkin'.

Tiba-tiba saja saat aku kelas 3 SMA, setelah perdebatan panjang yang ga kelar-kelar soal jurusan kuliah dengan orang tua, yang jurusannya diubah entah berapa kali, mulai dari computer engineering, aviation, interior design, psychology, medecine, hospitality, culinary, chinese, event management, sampai akhirnya Hospitality and Event Management. Yang letak kuliahnya mulai dari kampung halamanku, Palembang, Sydney, Melbourne, USA, London, dan akhirnya nyasar ke Switzerland. Biasa, mau daku sebagai anak, ga selalu sama dengan harapan dan kemauan orang tua terutama nyokap. Setelah proses negosiasi dan gonta-ganti jurusan yang memakan waktu berbulan-bulan, sampailah pada sebuah kesepakatan gabungan antara kemauan si anak dan sang ibu, Hospitality and Event Management. (hospitality dari sang ibu, event management dari si anak)

Awalnya, apakah ada rencana ke sini? TIDAK SAMA SEKALI.
Dan tiba-tiba saja, formulir pendaftaran diisi dan dikirim, uang kuliah pun ditransfer, dan akhirnya aku pun berangkat ke negeri keju ini. Ke negeri orang yang begitu jauh, tanpa teman atau kenalan, dengan pergaulan yang aku masih tidak tau secara jelas, banyak yang bilang aku berani dan hebat, tapi kalau menurutku, aku cuma NEKAT.

Tidak mau kuliah di negeri sendiri yang mutunya dipertanyakan. Tidak mau juga tinggal bersama orang tua yang membuat diriku terkekang, aku ingin belajar mandiri. Ingin rasanya mencicipi bagaimana rasanya tinggal di negara maju yang kalau melanggar peraturan memang beresiko berat kena hukuman berat, tidak seperti di kampung halaman yang asal menyogok pihak berwajib, semuanya beres, atau yang hukuman pidana pemerkosa dan pembuhuh hanya beberapa bulan penjara, lebih ringan daripada hukuman orang maling ayam.

Kita hanya menjalani hidup ini seperti mengikuti aliran air, kadang tenang, kadang bergejolak dengan arusnya yang deras, kadang melewati sungai yang luas, kadang masuk ke sungai kecil. Kita tidak tahu akan sampai di mana, atau akan bagaimana.

Dulu, tinggal di sini rasanya tidak mungkin, negara tujuanku dulu itu antara USA, Singapore atau Australia. Aku sekarang di mana?
Dulu, kerja sebagai waiter restoran??? Ga mungkin kali ya... Tapi sekarang, pekerjaanku apa?
Dulu, horse riding itu hanya khayalan belaka. Sekarang?
Dulu, belajar bela diri itu juga hanya seperti film dan komik. Tapi aku baru aja pulang dari tempat latihan Aikido-ku.
Dulu, sekolah perhotelan? Wah, ga tertarik tuh....
Dulu...
Dulu..
Dulu.
Dulu

Life goes on..
you'll never know where you're going to be
what you're going to be
just suddenly, you are what you are
could be positive or negative
could be someone you wanted to be, or the contrary
but you know what?
life goes on
