Accompanied by L'arc~en~Ciel's New World.

First thing first, i wanna say my runaway trip to Palembang was a blast! We (me and my cousins) had loads of fun there. We just do 3 major activities in Palembang.. Eat, play, sleep. Heheheheh... Here's a pic of mine standing beneath my family legacy :D

Picture 1

Nah, 2nd of all, the big news is.. I passed SPMB. Yaaayy x) I got drafted at Unpad's Faculty of Law.

3rd off all, the problema..

Problem di D3 Fikom UI >>> D3, terbatas pada peraturan yang bisa berubah sewaktu-waktu. Kalo bisa S1, paling cepet 5,5 tahun.. Which i can't afford. Maklum, malu dengan umur.. Hehehe.

Problem di S1 FH Unpad >>> Gue masih kerasan di Jakarta.. Dan gue juga masih takut untuk hidup sendiri. Belom pernah soalnya... x)

So.. Readers, i have to make one of my biggest decisions in my life. Comment and support would be helpful :)

This weekend, ada rencana ke Palembang.. Pulkam.. Hahahah.. Abis ga tau di Jakarta mo ngapain lg.. Daripada stres nungguin hasil SPMB nongol, mending di sana aja. Rame siy x) And, the thing that makes me excited, baru denger tadi pagi siy, gue diajakin hunting (literally) sama Oom gue. Hehehe. Syenang. Can't wait to shoot some deers :p Enak sih dagingnya. Sapa suruh enak dagingnya.

Bisa jawab pertanyaan ini ngga?

Pernyataan 1 : Pada tahun 1860an, Pulau Sewu di NTT mulai membuka diri pada dunia luar.

SEBAB

Pernyataan 2 : Epidemi cacar pada tahun 1869 menghabiskan separuh populasi wilayah tersebut.

a. 1 dan 2 benar dan berhubungan.
b. 1 dan 2 benar dan tidak berhubungan.
c. 1 benar, 2 salah.
d. 1 salah, 2 benar.
e. Keduanya benar.

Okay, itu tadi salah satu soal history di SPMB. HOW SHOULD I KNOW IF CHICKEN POX LAGI TREND DI WILAYAH ITU TAUN SEGITU???!!! Freak !

Okay, okay, calm down.. Hari pertama went lebih mudah dari yang diperkirakan. Ini yang bikin gue optimis. Hari kedua, dengan soal kayak gitu? Huuuuhhh.. Beteee.. Pokoknya tetep doain gue ya readers ;)

Pagi ini, gue mo ke Pulau Seribu.. Yayyy.. Bener-bener cocok buat ngilangin stres. Dan ditambah lagi, di pulaunya nanti ngga bakalan ada orang selaen gue ma sodara-sodara gue. Yaayyyy... Balap ATV? Yayyyyy...

Dah ah, tidur dulu ye..

Update about my lovelife : The best conffesion i've ever made.. Full of laughter ;)
More update : My astrological signs says :

You're not cold and impersonal, and you're probably quite tired of reading that astrological description of your sign. The truth is, you're just picky, and there's certainly nothing wrong with that. Once you find someone who measures up to your standards -- that is, someone who's entertaining, independent and intelligent -- you can be quite devoted. Someone who answers just that description may be along shortly. If you're already attached, prepare for a brand new best friend.

It's true.. yayyy x)

Gone Too Soon
by Michael Jackson

Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon

Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon

Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night

Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon

Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon

Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon

Born to amuse
To inspire to delight
Here one day
Gone one night

Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon

*thanks for the lyrics, Ndari.

*Dedicated to our beloved Oom Derry, my uncle, my 2nd father to me, my stylist, a great roommate since i was a boy. Your departure this time brings us a shock. May you've been kept under His armpit.. Say hi to grandpa also if you met him.

Aer mata gue abis, bis, bis bis. Kepergian oom gue yang satu ini mengundang kejutan teramat besar buat gue dan keluarga gue. Kok bisa??!! He's with my granny for most of his life more than his time with her own mother. My Granny regards her as her son. And i regard him as one of the central part of my family. Pasti lah gue kaget setengah mati. I've spend my lifetime with his presence around my house.. But, you've gotta do what you must do. So long, Oom..

My black weekend doesn't stop here. I've just realized, how i despised this world. How unfair this world come to. How i despise (some of) my friends for taking me for granted. F**k! Sadar ngga sih lo? You've gone from good, to bad! Even it's just a phase of your life, how you could do that to me?? Hoo, i'm so pissed off.... You left me just one choice.. And that is to left you, until you know the bitterness in life. Gue ngga mau banget ngeliat lo kayak gitu. Kalo ada cara lain, gue pasti milih yang lain..

Sorry readers, im in a bad bad mood lately. And my emotions seems like to blow shortly.. We'll see.. Betrayal? Seducement? Seems like the ideas of the week.

Chapter 4 : Rest, Rest, Rest !!

Recently, we had a huge bash for my granny. Lots of people i don't even know though.. And they're old !! Well, after weeks of pelatihan Saman (haha) akhirnya kmaren harus manggung with all (and i mean it) my cousins. It went well for us, though we've made some mistakes on the stage, it was acceptable dong ah. Banyak yang baru ngumpul di bawah H-7 gitu.

Lailalailalahe wa seu e'inhala (e'inhala) etcetera etcetera.. Jangan bikin gue nginget lagi deh..

The past few days was a huge load of fun though. Udah lama banget, gue ma sodara2 gue ngga ngumpul.. LENGKAP !! The hotel where the celebration was held is just superb. Gebetan gue juga dateng.. Yihhii.. Syenangnya.. Dah gitu pake ngabur bentar gue.. Nganterin dia pulang dulu. Hehehe.. That night, we stayed at the hotel. We had 3 free rooms and one of them was the suite. And we(me and my cousins) ended up stayed at the suite. Free of the parents. Nothing to do? Who said so? We buy foods from many places and we played movie charades until morning came. Hahahah. Twas so fun, and i mean it x)

Update about my lovelife : Far more intense than usual. Even though, i knew she's still ragu-ragu . Huah.. Sabar ya Dhanis ya...

Accompanied by Goldfinger's More Today Than Yesterday

I don't remember what day it was
I didn't notice what time it was
All i know is that i fell in love with you
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you

(skip it)

Oh i love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
Oh i love you more today than yesterday
But darling not as much as tomorrow

A happy song isn't it? Gue baruuu aja pulang, abis pergi ma gebetan gue. And this song suits my feeling perfectly. Even though i still didn't know how she felt towards me. Hehehe :)

Im gonna ask you readers, how can i dealt with my situation. Gue suka banget, dah lumayan deket banget. Dan kalo misalnya gue nanya perasaan dia ke gue nih, gue nyatain perasaan gue. Trus gue minta izin ke dia, kalo semisal ngga ada tempat buat gue di hatinya, apa gue boleh menghilang dari hidupnya. Dengan alasan gue ngga mau tenggelem lebih lanjut..

Gmana doong. Bingung juga nih gue.. It's all of nothing. Yoda once said "Do, or do not. There is no try". Dan gue meragukan kesanggupan gue untuk ngomong kayak gitu. Huee...

Readers, help me please x)

Update seputar my ex : Makhluk yang nantangin gue ribut masa minta bantuin temennya untuk nggebugin gue. Tapi ternyata yang diajak dia itu, adalah temen gue juga. Hahahahah. Langsunglah temen gue itu mana mau. Begooo, bego. Hohohoho

SARA sebagai penghalang? Ngga deh.

2005-06-13T13:02:00.000+07:00

For a start :

Congrats to missus for her engagement with shitface (yea, his face looks like shit, even from far away distance). Whether they lied or not... Gue cuman mau bilang.. BOL. Her future husband still doesnt show up here. Dickhead, chickenshit. He says he wanna beat the hell out of me. Hahah. I don't do violance anymore by the way, i let my securities do my dirty work *evil grin*. Bet he doesn't want to confront me anymore since i showed my mind superiority over him.. Or should we say "it". Hahah.

Back to topic. For the past few months, gue lagi deketin cewe, yang beda ras dan agama sama gue. Tapi gue ngga peduli, cinta tak kenal SARA. Ya kan kawan? Di sini gue mempermasalahkan, kenapa sih, (kebanyakan) orang tua melarang anak-anaknya untuk menjalin hubungan dengan lawan jenis yang berbeda SARA-nya?

Seandainya ya, if only (most of) parents allowed us to take the relationship into a higher level, bukannya kepedihan putus cinta bisa (tae bahasa lo Dhan) dikurangi? Budaya? Dunia mengarah ke globalisasi woi. Bukannya persilangan antar sukubangsa bisa memersatukan sebuah negara multiras, multibangsa, dan multibangsa. Dilarang oleh agama? Ibarat hukum, agama pasti ada celah "bolehnya" deh. Yakinnn.

Kan lucu banget kalo misalnya kita ma pacar yang beda agama saling mengingatkan untuk ibadah. Hohoho. Yasser Arafat aja berhasil kan? Lucu banget lagi. Trus kalo misalnya udah kawin, kita bisa membiarkan anak kita mencari informasi sedalam2nya tentang semua hal yang berhubungan dengan agama (of course, atheistic is not an option). Jadi di sini, agama bukanlah hanya sebuah bawaan dari orang tua.

So, kalo gue menyimpulkan sih ya, ego, budaya, semua menjadi pemicu dari semua ini. Any further comments? Maaf ya kalo nyinggung..
