Two Is Better Than One

by Boys Like Girls feat. Taylor Swift

I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought
"Hey, you know, this could be something"
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing

So maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one

I remember every look upon your face
The way you roll your eyes
The way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's okay
I'm finally now believing

That maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one


I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought, "Hey,"

Maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking
I can't live without you
'Cause, baby, two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
But I'll figure it out
When all is said and done
Two is better than one
Two is better than one

Really really love singing this song these days.. ^_^

Perahu Kertas

by Dewi 'dee' Lestari

Satu lagi novel karya Dee. Tapi di novelnya kali ini mungkin tidak 'seberat' novel-novelnya yang lain, bagi saya yang selalu membaca novel-novel Dee, langsung menyadari hal ini begitu membaca bagian-bagian awal dari novel ini.

Tema ceritanya sangat umum sih, persahabatan dan cinta, tapi cara penyampaiannya sangat baik, jadi gak bosan membacanya dari awal sampai akhir, sampai-sampai saya sulit berhenti.

Buku ini tentang Kugy & Keenan. Dua pribadi unik yang bertemu, berbagi mimpi-mimpi mereka dan saling jatuh cinta.
Mereka selalu berupaya untuk menggapai mimpi-mimpi itu, walaupun banyak rintangan yang mereka hadapi. Cinta mereka pun menghadapi banyak hambatan. Tapi mereka berhasil melewatinya..

Mereka bahkan harus berusaha saling menjauhi satu sama lain, walaupun rindu melanda dan sangat sakit rasanya. Masing-masing menyibukkan diri dengan kesibukannya, Kugy dengan sekolah alamnya, dan Keenan dengan lukisan-lukisanya. Masalah juga semakin rumit karena saat itu Kugy masih berpacaran dengan Ojos. Dan ada pula rencana Noni dan Eko, sahabat mereka, untuk menjodohkan Keenan dengan Wanda.
Mereka pun telah jatuh cinta dengan orang lain. Kugy dan Remi, Keenan dan Luhde.
Tapi dengan tidak diduga mereka bertemu kembali, dan kembali dekat, serta merasakan kembali cinta yang pernah terjalin diantara mereka.

Kalau penasaran, coba saja dibaca.. ^_^

A New Year, A New Beginning..

Today is the second day of the new year, 2010. We didn't have any big celebration for the new year's eve, just gathered together at home.

But, as the new year comes, I believe that new things will also come. A new beginning. The right time to start all over again, continue what ever thing that I've had started the previous years. The right time to try to do new things. To plan more and bigger things for the future. To pray for what's best for everyone of us. Let's just start the new year with Bismillah..

Have a Happy Happy New Year everyone.. ^_^

A Quick Update on Me..

Wow.. It has been months since I last opened and wrote in my blog.
Well, I've been a bit busy with things, doing this and that.
Busy watching DVDs (hahaha.. :D), reading novels, and of course still working and teaching English at the same time.

In these few months, I have followed some more recruitment processes. But, since I'm still here, you can just guess that I don't get any of them. But I won't give up trying though... It's worth trying for something better. Right?

A good news is that, I got a (small) raise at my part time job as an English teacher and more classes to teach. So, at least I can save more money for my future or just for going on a nice long holiday somewhere.. Hehehehe.. :D

Another bad news is that I didn't get the scholarship that I was applying for. The Australian Scholarship to be exact. So, I just kissed good bye to study in Oz next year. Well, I guess I'll try again next year.

Hmmm.. What else should I share? There's nothing new in my love life. Still being single and happy.. Hahaha.. ;P

So, catch u later...

Coba Katakan

by Maliq & d'Essentials

Coba, coba katakan kepadaku
bahwa kita sedang berjalan menuju satu alasan..
Janganlah kau katakan
bila kita memang tak ada tujuan dari apa yang dijalankan..

Aku tak ingin terus terdiam,
memandangi harapan..
Terlena akan manis cinta,
dan berujung kecewa..
Aku tak ingin terus menunggu sesuatu yang tak pasti..
Lebih baik kita menangis dan terluka hari ini...

Coba, coba katakan kepadaku
sekali lagi bila kita memang benar akan kesana..
Buktikan dan buatlah ku percaya
bahwa kita bisa berujungkan bahagia...

Oh...
Habis sudah semua rangkai kata..
Telah terungkap semua yang kurasa..
Yang kuingin akhir yang bahagia...

Aku tak ingin terus terdiam,
memandangi harapan..
Terlena akan manis cinta,
dan berujung kecewa..
Aku tak ingin terus menunggu sesuatu yang tak pasti..
Lebih baik kita menangis dan terluka hari ini...

Love the songs and lyrics..
Can't stop singing.. ;P

Weddings

This year there are so many people I know who ties the knot. Yup they're getting married.

From my family, I've got around five cousins who got married this year. Four has already done, another will come in November.
I'm really happy for my lovely cousins thou... :D

Other invitations comes from my friends..
There are around three weddings that I should attend. One was my best friend's. It was last week. I am really happy for her, that she's starting a new life now.. :)
I also met some old friends from high school and middle school in her party. It was great...

Actually, since I was a kid, I used to accompany my parents to weddings. I used to like it. But now, I started to not enjoy it. Why? Because people will start asking, " When will you get married, za?".. hahaha... I will just answer " Hopefully soon, just pray for me". Hahahha... I started to get bored answering it...
So, we'll just wait and see, when the time will come.. :P

Oxygen

by Colbie Caillat

I came apart inside a world made of angry people
I found a boy who had a dream
Making everyone smile
He was sunshine
I fell over my feet
Like bricks underwater

How am I supposed to tell you how I feel
I need oxygen
Oh baby if I was your lady?
I would make you happy
I'm never gonna leave, never gonna leave
Oh baby I will be your lady
I am going crazy for you

And so I found a state of mind
Where I could be speechless
I had to try it for a while
To figure out this feeling
This felt so right
Pull me upside down to a place
Where you've been waiting

How am I supposed to tell you how I feel
I need oxygen
Oh baby if I was your lady
I would make you happy
I'm never gonna leave,
Never gonna leave
Oh baby I will be your lady
I am going crazy for you

And you don't wanna keep me waiting
Staring at my fingers feeling like a fool

Oh baby I will be your lady
I will make you happy
I'm never gonna leave,
Never gonna leave
Oh baby I will be your lady
I'm going crazy, yeah-oh

Tell me what you want,
Baby tell me what you need
Anything I ask baby give it to me
Baby give it to me, give it to me

I came apart inside a world made of angry people
I found a boy who had a dream
Making everyone smile

I need oxygen so badly honey.. Hehehehe.. ^_^

Why do I Love Him?

I love him...
For the fact that he cares for me and my silly dreams... ^_^

I do love him for his silly and adventurous thoughts of life..

I really love how he adores me...
For being me, the daydreamer, energetic, narcistic and cheerful me...

I'll always love him for listening to my wishes and hopes...

I'll never stop loving him, just if he loves me back.. :)
Cause I'll be the love, that never lies..
Never loose the courage to try to love him..

I love him from being the guy of my dreams..
My knight in shining armour...
I love you for being you...

Achieve Some. Expect More

The Very Moment, When Allah SWT Starts to Answer My Prayers, One at a Time ^_^

Yes, in this time of my long journey of life. I've come to the time when I'll always say, what ever happens will be the best for me and everyone around me.

From the day that I graduated, I always dreamed to get my dream job. And I did.

I started my career as a Liaison Officer for Festival Film Indonesia 2007 in Riau. One of the biggest event in Indonesia's entertainment world. That time I was escorting VJ Mike Lucock and Sissy Prescillia (I got it right, didn't I mba Sissy?). And it was the job of my dreams, being around famous people. It's not that this is rare in my life now. Since I've met the owner of around 15 FOs in Bandung, Mr. Perry. And I also had Nyoman Nuarta on my first Ramadhan in Bandung. And the fact that Sarah Sechan. Yes, the Sarah Sechan, my favorite MTv VJ aside Jamie Aditya. She was the guess lecture on my communication class. And even the king of event organizer has come to our beloved campus, SBM ITB, yes, Adrie Subono. Not to mention, the author of my favorite books, Leading in Crisis. Robby Johan, yes the one behind the merger of 3 government banks and formed Bank Mandiri. He also fixed Garuda Indonesia Airlines when it was facing a huge loss and made it even better now. And finally
I met Chairul Tanjung, the CEO of TransCorp. I adore him for being a dentist and end up to become a business tycoon. Two thumbs up to everyone of them!! =)

Then, I got another fun job. Teaching English to Elementary School Students. This is so fun, that I never considered to stop doing it. I even applied as teaching assistant for the first semester in 2010. Back to SBM again, the beginning. Where I started to dream for bigger things.

And the fact that now, I have 3, yes THREE, jobs at a time, and planning to give up one in June. And I kinda found my dream job. Doing something I really understand. Quality and Performance Management. And I nailed this opportunity just by doing one simple thing. Trying to loose more weight by exercising. And I did, I've lost approximately 17 kilos since I graduated from ITB. And this caught me to fix the quality and performace problems in RSUD Arifin Achmad, Riau Province. Yes, FYI, now I'm the Secretary of the Attendings Clinic in the ISO 9001:2008 certification process.

So, here I am being thankful for what Allah SWT did to my long and continuous journey of life.
Just to give me an opportunity to become a way better person, in every aspect in my life.

To make it simple. In this university of Life, just try to always make a SWOT analysis on every problem you face. Consider your strength and opportunities. Then find your weaknesses and threads your gonna face in the near future. Try to find solutions, simple things that will make life easier. And then see what will happen next. ^_^

An effect of too many Mario Teguh Golden Ways and following sessions of Tafsir Al-Qur'an. While trying to be Ikhlas for every small loss that I face in my long and never ending journey of life. ^__^
