HAS IT BEEN SO LONG?

I guess it has.
Funny thing about time.
I easily lose track.

Funny thing about life.
Things which seemed important can fade like the memory of a nightmare.
Things which seemed secure can crumble like the Roman Empire.

What was once thought to be permanent is now hardly memorable.

Thing about a foreign country. It can become home.
Things you thought you knew pretty well, like your own language, can become pretty foreign.

I always thought I spoke English well *tanpa ada maksud nyombong*.
Now I know there are so many ways to speak it that I will spend the rest of my life learning it.

Didn't it seem like it would take forever to graduate from high school (or Junior highschool I must say? hehehe) ?
To study hard-out during exams?
To learn how to drive?

Now college is a distant memory.
I can't believe all the things I should know but have forgotten.
To have acne, going to proms and finally graduate.. whoaa.. that's something I never saw coming.

Auckland... one of the greatest cities.
It is home.
It took me ages to learn my way around town.
I can't imagine how many things for me to find there.

And ofcourse, there's that weird language again.
Funny accent with funny vocabs..
Funny food like capsicum and sprouts.

Today, exactly two years ago I left that small town.
maap kalo gw agak melankoli hari ini (emang kebanyakan melankolinye kali yee)...

At this very hour, two years ago I was having my late breakfast
... at New Lynn Petal Cafe with Jo and Marcella,
having my last ciggie on that green land,
having my last real bacon and egg,
having my last raspberry vodca cruiser.

... then I gave my last package of weeds to Jo.
Hehehe... can still remember her facial-expression.
The naughty me. She was speechless.

Tepat 2 taon yang lalu.
I hugged them good bye.
Eka, Gia, Mathew, Stephen, Tamara, Uday, Ella, Adi and Jo.

I've changed a lot eh?
There are many lives for me to catch up on.
So much to read.
I'll keep up and catch up as much as I can.

....... till we meet again.

Bucket List

Yep. Been hearing a lot about people dropped dead suddenly. Mulai dari si Adjie Masaid, babenya si Joshua, then just now Emma's friend juga Dadaism died of heart attack. She was 29 years old, just got ,arrayed last October. Life is so fragile. That's why I really hate Andi each time I have to remind him over and over again about healthy lifestyle. Anyway, decided to make a bucket list for myself. 1. Back to NZ 2. Sky dive 3. Vacation to Russia 4. Having more than enough funds for Onya to pursue her degree in England, Oxford University preferably :) 5. Ngeliat Andi punya bodi keren 6. Buying a house for my parents 7. Karet tengsin dijual Hmmm....... Belon kepikiran yg lawn. Nanti di update lg deh

Pippy

We have a new addition in the family. We adopted a Jack Russell from SPCA.  Kenapa anjing? Karena seumur idup gua, for as long as I can remember, gua selalu punya anjing. Bukan cuma sekedar "miara" loh, tapi yg bener2 part of the family.  Yg paling membekas itu tentu aja Piko ama Picca my last two dogs.  Kakah died when I was about 5 months pregnant with Onya. Jadi Onya sama sekali ga sempet ketemu my dogs.  Makin kesini gw makin yakin, kalo animals play an important role in kids life (at least di idup gw lah). They learn about responsibility, caring and most importantly compassion. I wanna give a chance buat Onya ngerasain apa yg gw rasain ke Piko n Kakah. The gift of unconditional friendship they gave... And how u learn to love them too.  Kenapa adopt? Karena saya ini agak2 idealis tapi realistis. I love animals. Dogs especially.  Idealis karena gw mau do the right thing YG GW BISA. Realistis karena, as much I want to.... Gw ga akan sanggup kl disuru jadi...

Another Random Post

It is perhaps a monumental probability that I've simply forgotten what has kept me here. Or evidently, what I have fought so hard for. What wind could be so strong, it banishes hundreds of acres of oaks, yet still ever so gentle enough to persuade even the most delicate of buds to move with, barely, an inch-long effort. My God, seeing kunyuk with that robe triggered something inside. I miss her. I know she'd worked soooo hard to be where she is now. I miss those moments. Though I must admit, maybe, just maybe... Im not running for the same dream anymore. The passion still there, ... it's just become a smaller part of me. Could I have waited this long, and demolished five full years of emotional barricade? Nah. I've walked too far to even think of steeping back. What faith could have, so morbidly, left my judgement impaired? The first scar may be the deepest, but a scar is a scar. ... and one left to bleed without stitches is bound to come undone. Tapi guess what? Im hea...
