My Inspirational Person
|
I met my inspirational person yesterday in my very own class. Before wrapping up my class, I told them to write an essay what they want to be after graduated from high school. One student, her name is Fitria, wrote : I want to be a nuclear scientist and I want to die syahid.
When I read her essay, I'm so touched by her writing that tears started to roll down my cheeks. I'm so ashamed of myself, always thinking of me, me, and me. I forgot that there are plenty of other human beings out there that desperately need our help.
My student, Fitria, is a usual high school student. That's what I thought before, but now she is a very inspiring person.
Who ever said inspiration always come from someone better than us? |

Manten Kecilku Tlah Pergi
|
Si kecil manten itu tlah pergi
Meninggalkan sejuta kenangan
Suarara tahlil terdengar
Mengiringi kepergian si cantik Rohaye
Sabtu lalu
Tak akan ada lagi wajah cantiknya
Di layar kaca kita
Tidak akan ada lagi Rohaye
Rohayeku telah pulang
menghadap Sang Kuasa
untuk selamanya
Selamat jalan
Manten kecilku
Selamat jalan
Sukma Ayu

HaVe You EvER
|
Have you ever felt like me? this is the worst feeling I've ever had, missing someone so bad that I can't think of anything else to do.
I had just dialled his number,but I couldn't bring myself to call him. How I wish everyone of us had a sixth sense that would know immediately when someone is thinking of us.
My heart hurt so much
now, because my head
can't stop thinking of you
Have you ever missed someone so much that everywhere you look, all you see is that person?
I thought I saw you today
but it wasn't you
I became more helpless
How can I see you
my heart ache
knowing this feeling won't go away,
until I can see you
it becomes more painful
for I know
you will not know
how I miss you
PS : I really do miss you

QUESTIONS TO LOVE
|
If we love each other so much
why the tears,then
Isn't our love strong enough
to hold the tears
If my love for you is as much
as your love for me
what are the fightings for
Isn't our love big enough
to hold us from hurting each other
If the love we have so sacred
why we turn to others
for love
Isn't it not pure enough
to hold on to our love

STAY THE SAME
|
Will you stay the same
as you were
a year ago
I don't ask much
just you keep being you
I need to talk to you
without ending with fight
I need to share my feeling
without you keep a distance
from me in the end
Can you listen to me
as I listen to you
without any doubts
I am the same girl
you met a year ago
You have changed so much
I don't even know you
anymore
If there's too much to ask..
Will you stay the same |

Cinta Pergi
|
Cinta hadir
Bukan untuk dipertanyakan
Ketika ia pergi
Cinta memilih tuk pergi
Bukan karena
Tidak cinta lagi
Cinta memilih
Untuk pergi sejenak
Jadi,
Ketika cinta datang lagi
Aku siap untuk menerimanya
Dengan seluruh hatiku

Tanggal Dua puluh September dua ribu empat
akankah nasib bangsaku kan berubah atau tetap
bahkan mungkinkah
balik ke angka nol lagi
Aku berharap tak banyak
hanya
seorang pemimpin
yang adil dan bijaksana
tentu saja
yang memiliki hati nurani
Aku berdoa agar
saudara-saudaraku sebangsa
memilih dengan hati nurani
juga dengan logika
Dalam doakupun kusertakan
aman dan damai menyertai
Indonesiaku
ketika terpilih
seorang pemimpin baru
Bangsaku, Indonesiaku
selamat memilih
Pergunakanlah hak kita
dengan baik
Berdoa jangan lupa
sebelum memilih |

"I Love You No Matter What"
|
"I Love you no matter what". Recently my friend poured her heart out to me, saying that his boyfriend-want-to-be just revealed his deepest secret about his past to my friend. And she, having heard that guy’s confession, started thinking whether she wants to make their relationship works or she just calls it quit.
That brings me to questions like: what word comes after I love you no matter what? Is there a but, and, unless, or though after that six simple but meaningful words?
We can’t deny that we often say that magical words to our partners, our family and even to our friends as quick as the wind blows. But, have we ever stopped for a moment just to absorb what we just said to them? What impacts do these words to me and them?
Let me tell you something about my parents. They don’t (or maybe never, as far as I can remember) say that magical words to me or my siblings. Though I know their actions show more than that to us. I know that’s so much different when someone we love say it. When someone says that words, she or he always wants a feedback from his or her partner. Like, I love you no matter what, and you? Or, I love you no matter what though you have cheated on me, and so on.
Actually when we say "I Love you no matter what" it should mean really no matter what, no but, no unless and no though. And it’s time to really meant what we say and stop for a moment to think do you really want to say it?
To my dear friend……….always follow your heart and when you are ready, you can say: I don’t care about your past, I care about you. And, I Love you no matter what.....
PS: For Catrin, thanks for the inspiration :)

LooK At The Bright SideS...
|
Look at the bright sides...hah!! Like I do that my own.When stuck in the traffic for hours, where is the bright side of that? only to buy a mineral water in Hero I have to queue in a long line, tell me again the bright side?
I have learned and learned to look at things at their bright sides,at least I have proven that when things get tough there are always bright sides. That brings me back to a year ago when I had to pick my sister up at the airport,the plane was delayed so I had to spend another hour in the airport and break my fast there (it was in the fasting month).
Finished with cursing the plane, I started to find a seat to sit. Suddenly someone from the crowd say “hi, how are you?” turning around and…oh My GOD…my elementary friend stood right in front of my very own eyes. He just came back from Batam and waited for his parents’ plane. The next thing I know, we had chatted all the way until it came to say goodbye. My sister’s plane had just arrived.
Well, hadn’t the plane delayed, I wouldn’t have met my friend. So, now when you find yourself in the middle of hustle and bustle of the traffic or you have to wait for the bus in a long time, look at the bright sides. Who knows you might bump into someone you know or maybe someone you’re meant to be with. GoD only knows…

No DistaNcE BetweeN Us
|
No distance between us, is that a song title? Anyway, being a grown up I now know how it feels to live separately from my siblings. Actually the distance between me and my third sister is only three sectors away. But for me, whose dreamt of having a big house so my whole family could live under the same roof,I used to feel there's a distance between us (especially when my third sister got married).
I miss the moments when me and my third sister fought about almost everything,we have different opinions almost about anything from the the AC temperature,tv channels,and others. But, we have something in common too,like we like shopping,we both miss going to Singapore again,and most importantly we both love each other (Right sis??).
Thanks God to technology, I salute whoever created handphones,emails,SMS,YahooMessenger and other communication devices. Because of them,now it only one SMS or a chat away to be with my siblings.
My sisters, brothers and me live separately, they already have their own family, but now I don't feel there's a distance between us.
PS:This writing is for my siblings...

How Do You HeaL My Nation's Broken Heart ?
|
From Chris Walker's song (how do you heal a broken heart) he only taught us how to heal someone's broken heart. I wish I could meet him so I can personally ask,"how about my nation's broken heart?"
How can we forget the sound of the bomb that ended innocent lives on September 9th,2004? How can we pretend not to see the buildings that had been smashed succesfully by the explosion? How about the families who lost their father,mother,son,or their daughter?
Yes,I know...maybe even someone like Chris .W. needs sometimes to think of a proper answer. If someone needs time to mend her/his heart, how much time does my nation need to recover?
Only GOD knows the answers...
Tonight I'll hold what could be right
Tomorrow i'll pretend to
Wake and put it all behind me
No offense to Chris Walker,but I don't agree with the word "pretend". We can't pretend this never happened, but what we can do is we try to get back to our feet again, fight whoever did this most cowardice act, and join hands in hands together to help our nation.
GOD BleSS Indonesia...
PS: Indonesia, this simple writing is For You.

Maafkan Aku Cinta
|
Maafkan aku cinta
karena merindukanmu
malam ini
Bukan mauku
kalau hasratku
masih ingin bersamamu
Aku minta maaf, cinta
bila hatiku tetap berisi
tentangmu
Melupakanmu berulang kali kucoba
kutak kuasa menolak
bila hati ini
masih mengingat cinta
Menghapusmu dari jiwa dan ragaku
tlah kulakukan
kenapa cinta masih ada juga
belum pergi
dariku
Maafkan aku cinta
kalau aku
masih cinta |

negeriku menangis kembali
|
Luka lara menyelimuti negeriku
ketika ledakan menyelimuti Indonesiaku
Pedih dan pilu hati ini
melihat negeriku menangis kembali
Apakah maksud semuanya ini
Tuhan...
Dosakah kami...
Cobaan apakah ini
Tuhan
Aku mencoba untuk tegar
takkan kubiarkan
manusia tak bertanggungjawab
atas perbuatannya
puas melihatku menangis
Doa kupanjatkan
untuk bangsaku
agar kembali tersenyum
Aku percaya
Tuhan pasti menjawab
doaku |

Hari ini Indonesia kembali berduka
|
Hari ini Indonesia kembali berduka...
Tuhan,bolehkah aku bertanya?
kenapa masih ada orang yang tak berhati
Alasan apa yang membuatnya
berbuat seperti ini?
Marahkah ia kepada Indonesiaku?
apa amarah dapat teredam oleh ledakan?
Tuhan,hati ini menangis
jiwa ini bergetar
melihat,mendengar,dan menyaksikan
jiwa-jiwa yang gugur
tanpa salah apapun juga
Hari ini aku memohon pada-Mu
hentikan semua ini
Jangan biarkan semuanya berlanjut..
Tuhan,tolonglah Indonesiaku

SECOND CHANCE
|
I was wrong
denying our love
turning myself
to other love
when I had you
I was blind
to not see the love
we had
I don't know
which is the worst
betraying you
and us
or
making us no longer to be us
Dear,
I know now
you're the only one
for me
give me second chance
I'm begging you
Time will tell
how much I do want
us to be together
and make our hearts
reunited
Marrying you
is one thing I'm sure of

KETIKA KAU DATANG
|
Kau datang juga
Setelah sekian lama penantianku
yang berakhir dengan harus
kecewa
Ada ragu di hatiku
untuk menghampirimu
Timbul ragu
untuk menyapamu
Akankah kau berpaling
dariku
Akankah ada jarak antara kita
Kau datang juga, akhirnya
tersenyum dan menyapa
Ternyata jarak itu tak ada
pun kau tak berpaling
dariku
Hari ini Kau datang juga
akhirnya
Rasa itu belum hilang
walau dulu kau tak datang
membiarkan rinduku tak berbalas
Rasa itu masih ada
ketika hari ini
kau datang
Menatapmu, di dekatmu
membuatku berharap
andai waktu berhenti
ketika kau datang
PS : To A.A.S...this poem is for you |

CAN'T

I can't look you in the eyes
Cos I know, you'll see my heart
I can't be near you
Cos I will hold you close
thought I can't
I can't talk with you
Cos I Love you
will I say
I can't smile back at you
Cos I want you to be my world
that I know, you can't be
I can't make you to be for me
Cos you can't
You and I know..
we just can't |

When I thought no one cares
someone calls and ask how I'm doing
When I thought no one listens to me anymore
someone picks up the phone and anwers my call
When I thought nobody will answer my e-mails
someone does
When I thought everything has changed
someone shows me that nothing has changed
someone does care
someone listens
someone will answer
Nothing has changed...
Hasn't it?

CINTA DATANG LAGI
|
Cinta datang lagi
Menghampiriku dengan senyuman
Dan pandangan yang teduh
Tadi, cinta ada lagi
Masuk ke jiwaku yang kosong
Mengisi relung yang terluka
Luka yang tertoreh lama
Memudar oleh waktu
cinta ada lagi
sebagai jawaban doaku
selama ini
Cinta,ternyata tidak pernah pergi
aku hanya perlu melihatmu
dan yakin...
kau datang dengan cintamu
hanya untuk kita

FALL IN LOVE
|
I fall in love..
When I enter a room full of children
who call me Miss
they dont't have any clues that
inside I feel like there were hundred drums banging on me
Then, that room becomes quiet
when I start talking
they don't know
with each word I say,sweats start trickling down my cheek
I fall in love
when those children
cheering, laughing and clapping their hands
with me
they have no ideas that
every movements they make,I become nervous
I fall in love
when I find the innocent looks,the mischievous looks
in their faces
I wonder, are they putting acts or genuine
Even when they're making noises
I still fall in love
Even when my class so quiet,more than a graveyard
I still fall in love
Even when things start to go wrong
I fall in love still
They're my children, my responsibility
That's why
I fall in love with them....

DUA JIWAKU
|
Ketika kita bertemu
di dunia yang megah ini
aku tak mengharapkan
kasih darimu
Tetapi...
Ada yang mengetuk hati kita
di saat kita jauh
pun sewaktu kita berdekatan
Apa yang kita ucapkan
juga kau dan aku lakukan,
walau tidak bersama..
aku seakan memiliki
dua jiwa
satu jiwa ini dalam tubuhku
dirimu memiliki jiwaku yang lain
sehingga kitapun merasakan hal yang sama
Kasih terlalu dini tuk diucapkan
karena bukan hanya kasih
yang kita rasakan
Cinta ternyata memutuskan
untuk masuk dan tinggal
di jiwa kita
Bukan perkataan cinta yang aku maupun dirimu
ucapkan
Tapi...
ketika aku merindukanmu saat kaupun menginginkanku
Juga...
ketika cinta bukan kata yang sakral
yang perlu kita ucapkan
karena kita tahu
aku untukmu dan kau untukku
itu lebih dari cukup
dibanding seribu kali kata aku cinta kamu
