"Belajar ketika orang lain tidur, bekerja ketika orang lain bermalasan, dan bermimpi ketika orang lain berharap."

You're on track...
Hiks...Yeah...and Wow...aduh!
Sebenarnya mo serius lagi nih...tapi berhubung ni otak lagi butuh refreshing, cerita aja yach! Well, jadi hari ini ada beberapa poin *sucks* yang terjadi. Contoh:
1. I'm not Oriental Tourist?: Jadi ceritanya begini, sebelumnya aku sudah pernah cerita kalo kemana-mana pasti aku bawaannya make headphone, n so pasti sedia bubble gum di kantong. Terus karena disini lagi winter, plus juga pake sweater tebel, sarung tangan, pokoknya lengkap gitu lah, nah kebetulan karena tadi lagi haus, kepikiran udah lama gak beli juice, akhirnya melangkahlah kaki meloncat-loncat kecil menuju toko terdekat :P. Eh, tau-taunya pas nyampe di depan toko sambil menyodorkan duit dengan mata memelas (ikhlas lagi!) si penjaga toko nanyain: "Kamu turis?". Hah? "Kagak bung, udah lama kok disini, ni baru pulang kuliah!". Si penjaga toko cuma manggut-manggut, "Oh..kirain". Damn! Sebelumnya juga sama, waktu itu lagi jalan bareng temen, ceritanya mo nraktir sundae nih, eh sama juga, sambil si waiter nyodorin tuh sundae, dia nunjuk-nunjuk ke headphoneku sambil nanya: "Tourist?". No....... Trus tadi pas di bus, karena kehabisan tempat duduk *sigh* sambil enak-enaknya berdiri sambil ber-humming ria, eh ditabrak cewe Mesir sambil ngomong, "Pardon me!". Loh, mang aku ada tampang Western apa? Kok minta maafnya Inggris-Linggis segala gitu? Geez.... Apa ni gara-gara headphone ya? Atau permen karet? Atau emang ni tampang dah persis kaya Keanu Reeves? Jelas-jelas wajah oriental gini...I'm Asian!!! Ugh.
Ugh....while my mind is still swirling, let's be serious, shan't we?
~ The truth must be told creatively! ~
Human is considerably as it’s stated in Latin phrase: Homo sapiens – a wise creature that has its talent to deduce everything around and make them as his own benefit. But surprisingly, this state is neither true nor wrong, because humans are psychically different. From this point of view, analogically they could be divided into two groups of people: those who dominate others and those who are being dominated.
Tapi, disana, kau berdiri
tegak tertahan menyimak lirihnya malam
Dan kau senang melambai lembut
sambil berjalan tertatih, dipeluk anginbersatu dengan harmoni berpadu
Tidak, kawan, tidak akan lenyap
seperti sebuah pelangi yang menatap hangat
Hujan pun diam, kemilau sisa embun di dedaunan
Awan pagi berlari kecil, riang
sembari siluet merah merobek cakra-
wala, merah sesaat dan bias
sebuah pesona penebar semangat terpahat
Tidak, kawan, tidak akan lenyap
seperti pelita bulan walau di gelap malam sesaat
Tapi tidak, kawan, tidak akan lenyap
pagi dan malam kutapakkan kaki mengucap:
"Juangku masih untuk 1000 asa kudapat!"
(inspired by: Piano no Mori and Choplin's Grande Valse Brillante)
I am - yet what I am, none cares or knows;
My friends forsake me like a memory lost
I am the self-consumer of my woes -
They rise and vanish in oblivious host,
Like shadows in love frenzied stifled throes
And yet I am, and live - like vaporous toast
Into the nothingness of scorn and noise,
Into the living sea of waking dreams,
Where there is neither sense of life or joys,
But the vast shipwreck of my life's esteems;
Even the dearest that I love the best
Are strange - nay, rather, stranger than the rest
I long for scenes where man hath never trod
A place where woman never smiled or wept
There to abide with my Creator God,
And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept,
Untroubling and untroubled where I lie
The grass below, above, the vaulted sky
This poem is especially dedicated toward those whoever reading this and has been feeling almost fully-melancholic in his/her life. I know you've suffered. I know, sometimes your hatred to the World and all around you is unlimited. But just let me tell you, I've already awaken from the depth of Hell knowing how I'd felt this, and it just caused me more troubled and disgusted. Don't let the sorrow distress you more, days and so after.
And, hopefully, you'll change. Not into the another person, 'cause there's just no more time to become another-self, but to reconsider things and reconstruct yourself. Being yourself is something more gracefully made of stream of wise. Not then I don't mention, that:
You'll never walk alone...

To put it simply... well, hal-hal gaib tu musti dipercaya. Musti. Harus. Tapi kalo keajaiban, tu lain cerita. Menurutku, keajaiban mutlak tu persis hilarious joke bikin ngakak. Lain soal kalo si Dia sudah turun tangan. Di akhir tulisan ini, akan aku jelaskan bagaimana sesungguhnya sebuah keajaiban tu dapat tercipta.
Percaya gak kalo mo kaya, kita cuma tinggal duduk aja di rumah sampai nelor berapa bungkus, ntar tiba-tiba aja kolong rumah ambruk kejatuhan hujan uang logam? Atau, mo lulus ujian, eh malah jalan-jalan hang out ke party atau bahkan chatting di kamar sampai layarnya mengharu-biru memelas dengan amat sangat untuk dimatiin karena dah seharian hidup terus...n tau-tau sehari sebelum ujian langsung pake sistem SKSD (Sistem Kebut Semalam Doea-Tiga). Wuih!
And now, mari berfilosofis...
Orchid: A Parody
(Hold me dear, as your scythe slices hearts)
(Hold me dear, as your scythe slices hearts)
We've thrown away the glare as it stares
and push away the barrier as it bends
Outstanding the stars which come the most
we've flown ourselves - names those never drop
down worse...
down worse...
(Hold me dear, tight, we together walk
in each other while we stab another back)
~This foretold-story tells a pair in despair
one which wears a white, another
black caped coat - as fair affair,
a fairy tale~
Once upon on cold-biting morning...(ketika dering alarm tak lagi berarti):
