I…..I feel so alive…And I think I can fly….
These last two days have been SUPERB. Let me start with Friday. At Friday I took a day off from office. I intended to go to campus to get my Wisuda package. But when I was about to go, I looked at the announcement, it turned out that the wisuda package for my major would be given starting at Saturday, 25 June 2005, not Friday. So I didn’t go to campus. Silly me, but I was lucky because I read the announcement once again before I left. If I had left, then It would have been such a waste of time. And then at ten sth, David sent me SMS, asking if I wanted to got to InulVizta. I replied it and said it’s a good idea. So we arranged to meet at Inul at 12PM. I arrived there at 11 sth. David was already there, as usual he parked his car in front of Holland Bakery. We went in, got room #1. Bowo confirmed to come w Maria, his gf. We tried the June promo from Inul, FREE video recording. The 1st song, “Kukatakan Dengan Indah” by Peterpan, passed just like that coz we’re talking about comp stuffs. And then songs after songs went in to the playlist, and we started to sing. We tried the record function to record our karaoke session and it worked quite well. Not so long after that, Bowo and Maria came. More songs were added to the playlist. We sang for about 2 hours and when it ended we ask the waiter coz we wanted to choose which song that would be burned to CD. We chose 7 songs (coz we only got 7 song to choose…). After that David said that he wanted to go to Roxy to buy cellphone for him and his gf, coz his gf’s birthday was coming soon. I said it would be better if we just go to ITC Cempaka Mas, since it was near Gadink and Roxy’s traffic jam was awful. So we went to Cempaka Mas. To make long story short we ate there, David bought 2 N6600 (which made him broke…lol), bought casing and cellphone leather case. After that David dropped me off at Ibi and I went home.
Slept at 1 AM that Friday night. Woke up at 7,I had this appointment with Tirta to play badminton at ASEAN Hall. Arrived there at 8.10 AM. Played badminton until 11 AM. Tirta was very good. Then I and Anthony booked the ASEAN hall for July. So for five weeks, I’ll be playing badminton every Saturday morning. It was very exhausting. At 11 I went to Anggrek to see Job Expo. Met Denny Soe, Bellina, Vivi, Alvin, Yuliana, Berku, etc. Dave ask me a favor to get his wisuda package since he must go to his office. I looked around at Anggrek until 12.50 PM. Went to Syahdan then, at Plaza saw Yakin, Nell n Jef. Nell n Jef went to lucky 7, I sat there and talked to Yakin. It’s been a while since I last met him. And then we went up and when we got to the 2nd floor, near H2H…we were surprised cause the queue was very long. It reached H2E…and it was bloody hot. I didn’t want to stand in line in such condition. So we went down again to Plaza. At 1PM sth Charlie’s angels minus Laura came. At 1.30 PM I went up again, met Kwang at the stair, she said VC was looking for me and that she was in the front part of the queue. So I went up, I went through the queue until I saw VC and Berku. There were also iing, Vebi, Febri, Step, Willy, etc. I managed to slip in and got in front of Berku. Standing in line for a while. Got the packages. I got #609. The others got eight hundred something. And my invitations was a lil bit different. They got some kind of ribbon at the corner. Met Yanti, Yunita, Pin2, VY on my way to put the packages to my car. Vy’s using braces and she had cut her hair. I put the packages in my car, went back to Syahdan, Robert came and went to stand in line. Talked a bit with the other. Ronaldy n his gf already came, along w Richards, Bernard, Yosep, kriston, etc. At 3 sth they went back. Went to eat. Robert came and he drove me to MBK (Maria Bunda Karmel) church. I Attended the 5PM mass. It was the best church I ever visited. Two thumbs up for MBK. Finished at 6.10 PM. Called Robert, asked him to pick me up. He picked me up, and he went to his sister’s, I changed my clothes. Went to Bale Air w Robert, he escorted my along the way. He (despite of his eccentric behavior) really has this pure, sincere and kind heart. It’s hard to find a friend like him. Arrived at Bale Air, Berku was already there, along w his gf, Step n Willy, Jaka n his gf (later I found out that her name was Amel).
We ate dinner accompanied by live music. The band was quite good, except for when they sang She Will Be Loved… Step T came w her bf not long after we got out table. She really looked like Grace, I told Berku and he agreed with me. Nell n Jef came later on. We enjoyed our dinner until 9.30 PM. Went home and got this Need for Speed moment with B 80XX BL.. which was Jaka’s car. We drove like there was no tomorrow…lol very exciting and adrenaline-rushing. We drove at maybe average 120-130 Kph (Damn it felt so good to drive that fast…..). I was left behind twice before I managed to pass him by at the end of our circuit…yeah… I got home at 10 sth PM. It took me less than 20 minutes to get back from Bale Air…insane….hahahahaha. Slept at 12 AM.
Today woke up at 11 AM. My body feel very sore now. It feels like I’d been hit by a truck. But I feel GREAT. The badminton, mass at MBK, and the need for speed moment made me feel so ALIVE. But yesterday, my melancholic side rose a lil bit. When I was at staircase at Anggrek.
*Break a lil….Mom just finished making donuts…ate them….hmmm…..very delicious..
I felt this longing, this sad feeling, remembering that my university days were over. When I looked at the boys n girls down at the food court, I lingered the days I had when I was the one who sitting there, all the laughs, the joy, the sad times. I reminisce that times. Those are wistful memories of the best times in my life. The people whom I used to spend time with, the places we used to go together, the little crazy things we did, all of the stories, jokes, events that we shared. They’re all written in the pages of my history.
“..di saat kita bersama, di waktu kita tertawa, menangis, merenung, oleh cinta…”
“..do u still remember, how we used to be…feeling together believing whatever..”
Though memories are designed to fade…they’re one of the things that make me feel ALIVE.
Alive by P.O.D.
Everyday is a new day
I'm thankful for every
breath i take,
I won't take you for granted (I won't take you for granted)
So I learn from my mistakes
It's beyond my control
Sometimes it's best to let go
Whatever happens
In this lifetime
So I trust in love (so I trust in love)
You have given me
Peace of mind
Chorus:
I, I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I, I feel so alive (so alive)
For the very first time (for the very first time)
And I think I can fly
Sunshine upon my face (sunshine upon my face)
A new song for me to sing
Tell the world
How I feel inside (tell the world how I feel inside)
Even though it might
Cost me everything
Now that I know this
So beyond, I can't control this
I can never
Turn my back away
Now that I've seen you (now that i've seen you
I can neva look away
Repeat chorus
And now that I know you
(I could neva
turn my back away)
And now that I see you
(I could neva look away)
And now that I know you
(I could neva
turn my back away)
And now that I see you
(I believe no matta
what they say!)
Repeat chorus (x2)
And I think I can fly (fly) (x3)
