Riding with my best friend

Saturday, April 30th, 2005

Today i went riding with my best friend.
We went through the Anzac Bridge, went past Balmain, Maroubra
and all other places that I have been familiar with.
But they all looked and felt different tonight.

I saw the bridge stood there sturdy,
the reflection of the lights on the water
divided by party boats sailing around the harbour
it bounces off the water and spreaded around elegantly.

I saw the huge and empty soccer field
staying still in the dark
and the mild mist of night surrounding it beautifully.
It was so beautiful, i wish I could stay there all night.

I saw the heavenly city light views
brightly shining over an open, vast grassy hill
and the cool night breeze of the wind was pushing against my face.

I felt the rush of adrenalin going through my heart
as we sped up the highway.
It was better than any roller coasters I have ever rode.

Then we went to a cafe for a little sip
and I met an old friend and mentor
who gave a meaningful reflection on life
without knowing it is what I need at the moment.

Most of all,
I am happy to know that
I still have a great best friend
that I can share all that with,
and who is still willing to share all the good and bad times.

This, my friend, is for you.
And for all the times we’ve been through
and for all the times there are for us to go through.
Let’s ride again soon

langkah-langkah kecil

Tuesday, April 19th, 2005

Hujan rintik rintik..

tetes kecil membasahi bahu kecilku

Kabut tipis menutupi jalan

pandanganku tak jelas..

Di antara semua itu,

udara sejuk yang kuhirup menyegarkan jiwaku

dan burung-burung kecil bernyanyi merdu

seolah memberikan semangat baru untuk terus berjalan.

Tak tahu ke mana arah ini kan membawaku

tak terlihat bilakah jalan ini akan berakhir

tapi terus kuberjalan

menelusuri tiap liku dengan langkah-langkah kecilku

Uncontainable Burst

Sunday, April 17th, 2005

Jantung deg deg an
hati serasa mau pecah kaya balon kepenuhan air
tenggorokan udah pengen teriak teriak,
tapi nanti disangka gila lagi..

Ngga sabar ngeliatin jam
kapan sih selese kerja?
aduh, manager cerewet banget lagi
mending gua mikirin dia aja ah..

Wa wa wa wa !!!
bentar lagi mau ketemu!
duh, jadi parno
do i look good enough..??

Bentar2 jadi pengen nyeriwis sana sini
duh, tuh orang ngetawain gue lagi
pasti tadi muka gue aneh
tapi gimana lagi? pengen ketawa sih..

My Life

Sunday, April 10th, 2005

When I try to look around
I’m overwhelmed by all the beauty and grace
of our very existence,
but also feared with the horror
of wrath and curse of our being

Constantly confused
by the pure glory that lifts me up,
and unavoidable sins that bog me down

        Everything never makes sense.

Got slapped on the face
by the hopelessness of human kind
All these worries I had,
all insecurities I’ve nourished,
all comes down to
        nothing

This indescribable feeling within me
is taking over my whole existene
my mind, my body, my spirit
Now there’s nothing left to do
but to be gracious of this greatest gift

Ocean of uncertainty

Sunday, April 10th, 2005

Drowning in an ocean of uncertainty
I can’t see no lights ahead
nor feel the wind on my back
Youth is a jungle of questions

    Unsure with most things in my life,
    everyday is always a wondrous moment
    of how life will unfold itself
    or how fate will terminate certain paths

You see, sometimes I think "why think?"
Just enjoy the view around
and cherish all the things that
life has to offer

    But at times like this,
    it is my inevitable nature to wonder
    and here I am, a little powerless solitary figure
    Drowning in an ocean of uncertainty

Bogus Space

Sunday, April 10th, 2005

Can’t stand too close
Nor stay too far
It’s like a magnetic attraction
and I’m standing in between the negs and pos

        Don’t wanna move to the left
        Nor shift to the right
        I’m in ecstatic high
        just staying here in a bogus state

    My sight is going blurry
    and I can’t see whose life I’m living
    but I’m likin this state, yeah..
    Just wanna stay here a little longer

                    There is no tension,
                    There is no resolution,
                    just let me be
                    in this spacious space I breathe
