listen
That sleepy person lying next to you
If there's no one there then there's no one there
But at least the war is over
It's us, yes, we're back again
Here to see you through 'til the day's end
And if the night comes and the night will come
Well at least the war is over
Lift your head and look out the window
Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go
Listen, the birds sing, listen, the bells ring
All the living are dead and the dead are all living
The war is over and we are beginning
Gridlock on the parkway now
The television man is here to show you how
The channel fades to snow, it's off to work you go
But at least the war is over
She's gone, she left before you woke
As you ate last night, neither of you spoke
Dishes, TV, bed, the dark was filled with dread
But at least the war is over
Lift your head and look out the window
Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go
Listen, the birds sing, listen, the bells ring
All the living are dead and the dead are all living
The war is over and we are beginning
We won or we think we did
When you went away you were just a kid
And if you lost it all and you lost it
Well, we'll still be there when your war is over
Lift your head and look out the window
Stay that way for the rest of the day and watch the time go
Listen, the birds sing, listen, the bells ring
All the living are dead and the dead are all living
The war is over, we are beginning
Here it comes, here comes the first step
Here it comes, here comes the first step
It starts up in our bedroom after the war
It starts up in our bedroom after the war, after the war
After the war, after the war, after the war
After the war, after the war, after the war

the way you are
We will feel most comfortable when we really know who we are.
Who care?

talk, speak, say, whatever. just watch your words.
1. "Speaking your mind is not wrong at all. When you keep anything just in your mind, you'll feel bad for yourself. When you feel bad about someone or something, just have a time to talk."
Well, I guess that's what I'm working on. It sooooooo easy to say, but it's extremely hard to do. I'm not a person who can speak her mind freely. But it does hurts when I can't say what I need to.
2. "Speak in wisdom."
The truth? I'm not good in it. I've hurt some people just because I don't think that my word would hurt them. And the worst part is, I don't have any brave to apology.
3. "Speak truthfully."
I'm good at lying. =p

Some space?
Yeah. I know I need some space and this is the perfect time.
So, call me when you need to talk.
But if I don't answer, don't get me wrong. It's just because of me. Not you.

Dream A Little Dream
Night breezes seem to whisper "i love you"
Birds singin’ in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me
Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you’ll miss me
While I’m alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I’m longin’ to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars shining up above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "i love you"
Birds singin’ in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

back to business, baby!!
This Eid Al-Fitr, I went to Lombok with my family. It was an amazing journey. And I would love to give you the details in other post. :)
Nah, before holiday, my lecturer had some tasks to our Housing and Settlements class. We have to do some surveys about conditions of housing caused by urbanization. It should be nearby a factory/ big industry, or a railway. Which means, I have to read A LOT! I've read some articles these 2 days. And tomorrow, I'll have a "field trip". Can't wait for it because Tara, my friend who did this "field trip" this morning, told me that she found a lot of interesting things.
Really excited for this project. So, back to business, baby!

kereta api
Saya adalah orang yang suka naik kereta api. Bulan juli lalu, saya punya kesempatan untuk main ke Solo di sela-sela kerja praktek saya di Jogja. Nah, salah satu acara saya selama di solo adalah naik Sepur Kluthuk Jaladara, sebuah kereta api uap yang beroperasi di awal 1900an. Jujur saja, harga yang harus dibayar untuk naik kereta ini cukup mahal. Untuk pemilik KTP Solo harus membayar 30.000 rupiah, pemilik KTP Keresidenan Surakarta (saya nggak tau daerah mana) harus membayar 50.000 rupiah, selain itu harus membayar 150.000 rupiah.
Tapi untungnya, harga mahal tadi cukup sebanding dengan 3 jam perjalanan melintasi Kota Solo. Sambil menikmati jamu beras kencur yang bisa di-refill berulang kali dan nyanyian ibu-ibu sinden, saya pelan-pelan membayangkan bagaimana kehidupan orang-orang di masa lalu saat naik kereta ini. Apa mereka juga senorak saya, yang berusaha sangat keras untuk bisa memotret uap yang dikeluarkan dari cerobong kereta?

Oiya, perjalanan ini juga jadi sangat menyenangkan karena saya ditemani oleh partner in crime saya. :)

first love
There's a change in me
They all say I'm not the same
Kid I used to be
Don't go out and play
I'll just dream all day
They don't know what's wrong with me
And I'm too shy to say
It's my first love
What I'm dreaming of
When I go to bed
When I lay my head upon my pillow
Don't know what to do
My First love
He thinks that I'm too young
He doesn't even know
Wish that I could show him what I'm feeling
Cause I'm feeling my first love
Mirror on the wall
Does he care at all
Will he ever notice me
Could he ever fall
Tell me Teddy Bear
Why love is so unfair?
Will I ever find a way
And answer to my pray
For my first love,
What I'm dreaming of
When I go to bed
When I lay my head upon my pillow
Don't know what to do
My first love
He doesn't even know
Wish that I could show him what I'm feeling
Cause I'm feeling my first love
My first love.......

numb
Grew in my head
Colored I thought
Send me to bed
Lost memories
Grew into trees
Cover the doors
Swallow the cure
Winters have come and gone you know
Winters have come and gone you know
But I'll miss you young and free
For a dance round the memory tree
Said I forgot
But I did not
Dreams we have had
Play in my head
Did we believe,
The cry of the wind?
Did we regret?
Would we forget?
Winters have come and gone you know
Winters have come and gone you know
But I'll miss you young and sweet
For a dance round the memory tree

cerita lama (1)
Saya iseng buka-buka file di komputer dan nemu tulisan-tulisan aneh yang saya simpan di laptop. Haha..
Belakangan ini, saya lagi dikerumuni oleh tugas-tugas yang hampir meluluhlantakkan kamar saya (entah itu masih layak disebut kamar atau nggak). Tugas-tugas yang kayaknya nggak bakal ada habisnya sebelum akhir tahun. Untungnya HP saya masih bisa muter lagu-lagu yang membuat saraf saya agak santai.
Kalau bicara lagu, ada satu lagu yang nggak pernah hilang dari playlist saya selama 4 tahun ini. Entah itu di MP3 Player atau di handphone. Bukan berarti lagu ini kesukaan saya. Cuma, lagu ini bener-bener harus ada pas saya butuh, kayak obat. Lagu ini judulnya Unintended, yang dinyanyiin Muse.
You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You could be the one I’ll always love
You could be the one who listen to
my deepest inquisitions
You could be the one I’ll always love
I’ll be there as soon as I can
But I’m busy mending broken pieces of
the life I had before
First, there once the one who challenge all
my dreams and all my balance
She could never be as good as you
You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You should be the one I’ll always love
I’ll be there as soon as I can
But I’m busy mending broken pieces of
the life I had before
I’ll be there as soon as I can
But I’m busy mending broken pieces of
the life I had before
Before you..
Kalau saya harus cerita tentang lagu ini, pasti bakal panjang banget. Pokoknya, lagu ini ngisi masa-masa SMA saya, masa-masa waktu saya mulai mengerti tentang persahabatan, masa-masa waktu saya mengenal kata yang berawalan ”c”. Hehe.. Sisi melankolis saya mulai keluar.
Satu lagu, yang durasinya nggak lebih dari 4 menit, rupanya bisa ngerekam kenangan yang bertahun-tahun lamanya. Ajaib. Dan saya yakin, bukan cuma saya yang ngerasain itu.
Your song, your soundtrack, your story.
