Hiatus Period
After the spontaneous singing at midnite, it seemed I lost all of my inspirations (and more importantly, willingness) to write another entry. Plus the work didn't allow me to. So that's my explanation for the lack of update in my blog. There were some ideas, but it's quite hard to combine the time I had and the will to actually write them. And after a while...they didn't seem as appealing as they had been. *talking about momentum....;D
Road Trip
One thing that I was looking forward at the end of 2008 was our road trip, which we finally did successfully. It was very tiring, but exciting as well. There were seven of us. We went at Christmas Eve, David got the first turn to drive. The traffic was already jammed at Cawang Toll and it continued till Cikampek. There were lots of buses whose drivers drove recklessly. After four hours, it was my turn....made it to Kanci and again David took turn till Tegal. I finished my second turn by arriving in Semarang at around 10 AM. 15 hours to get to Semarang...very bad traffic. I was very very tired after 8 hours of driving (a little bit break between the first five hours and the latter though) but we still ate some breakfast first. Then Dovan took turn to drive to Jogjakarta. Arrived there in the afternoon, we're all tired and quickly took afternoon nap. Went to Ambarukmo Plaza in the evening, ate dinner then stopped by at Ayam Goreng Ny Suharti to eat dinner (again). Went back to the guest house. Me, Dovan, David n Bowo decided to take a tout, we wandered around at drank Ronde at South Ground.
Woke up quite early in the morning then we checked out. We went to Sultan Palace afterward, took the tour (n lots of pics :D) then we went to Borobudur. Stopped by along the way to eat lunch. Arrived at Borobudur around 2 PM. It was hotttttt. We looked around for about an hour then decided to continue our trip to Bandung. David again took the first turn. I got the next turn, a difficult one, lots of maneuver needed. We managed to arrived at Pring Sewu to eat dinner at around 10 PM. Dovan took the next turn and drove an alternative, damaged and scary road. It's like in the middle of nowhere, only trees on the right and left side of the small road. But we got through and next David drove us straight to Bandung. Arrived there at around 3 AM. Drank coffee and lied down for a while. Then I took the turn to drive to White Cater. Arrived there at 6 AM. It wasn't open yet, but we got permission to go up. We went up and the it was very cold. I could see my breath fogged up. Personally I thought it was so so....I like the cold n chilly air though....nice.
I drove till Bandung again, then Agus took turn and drove us to the hotel. I was so exhausted I went to sleep right away the moment I lied down on the bed. We woke up in the afternoon, ate afternoon meal then drove around Bandung. We ended up hung out at Ciwalk and karaoke at NAV...lolzzz... Went back to hotel and got some sleep afterward. The next day we woke up lazily....then we went shopping...tour de FOs...Ciwalk...then ended up at PVJ. Ate dinner at a Japanese restaurant. Bowo tried a-quite-attention-catching menu called Bukkake ramen... and it tasted...weird.... *hence the name? lolzzzzzz..... Then we continued to eat pancake at Pancake Parlour. After that, trip back home. Agus drove all way back home.
It was such a blast to have a roda trip with my homies. Though it's quite short...but it's still fun, all the weariness from driving in the middle of the nite aside. It's nice to see the world...to see different, new things I wouldn't see during working days.
Reflection
Checked my work email yesterday and very surprised to read one of the email I received. *sigh... so long comrade.....wish you all the best. It made me think again...looking back my life in 2008. There were some accomplishments and valuable lessons I learned. Not a bad year...not at all. But browsing through a friend's facebook profile...it seemed that life's been at low gear, while everyone else was in overdrive...Remembering.....there were some songs that I got to know this year. The first came up none other that Peterpan - Walau Habis Terang.... I really love it. Then Jason Mraz - I'm Yours, Leona Lewis - Better In Time, Chris Brown - With You, and Rihanna - Take a Bow came...Nidji - Jangan Lupakan...Samsons - Tak Bisa Memiliki followed. Watched lotsssssss of movies....either in the theaters or TV serials. Finally got the guts to tell her..though it came with a consequence...but still it felt liberating to get it all out...*a bit stammering at first..... I was like a high school kid....lolzzz
Some targets achieved, some exceeded what I had expected...few were unrealized due to circumstances. Year 2009....may it come with new hope, new spirit, new strength, and new behavior to be better....to reach alll those dreams that are waiting to be realized.
And for my beloved friends...here's for you...
Sindentosca - Kepompong
Dulu kita sahabat
Teman begitu hangat
Mengalahkan sinar mentari
Dulu kita sahabat
Berteman bagai ulat
Berharap jadi kupu-kupu
* Kini kita melangkah berjauh-jauhan
Kau jauhi diriku karna sesuatu
Mungkin ku terlalu bertindak kejauhan
Namun itu karna ku sayang
Reff:
Persahabatan bagai kepompong
Mengubah ulat menjadi kupu-kupu
Persahabatan bagai kepompong
Hal yang tak mudah berubah jadi indah
Persahabatan bagai kepompong
Maklumi teman hadapi perbedaan
Persahabatan bagai kepompong
Na na na na na na na na na
Semua yang berlalu
Biarkanlah berlalu
Seperti hangatnya mentari
Siang berganti malam
Sembunyikan sinarnya
Hingga ia bersinar lagi
** Dulu kita melangkah berjauh-jauhan
Kau jauhi diriku karna sesuatu
Mungkin ku terlalu bertindak kejauhan
Namun itu karna ku sayang
