The Distance
There we were...
standing right next to each other
There we were...
sitting close to each other
Our bodies touched
Our skin electrified
But you seem to be as far as in eternity
There we were walking hand in hand
There we were in our never ending conversations
sharing good old laughs and our deep thoughts
But the distance between us seem endless
Now I have come to a realization...
The furthest distance is not between life and death
It's between me and you...

Titik Terang
Bagai menemukan titik terang
demikianlah akhir dari penantian ini
berpaling dari kegelapan menuju terang
meninggalkan taman mimpi yang suram
segala harapanku telah sirna
sirna bersama pekatnya malam

Eros
Cinta, apalah arti sebuah cinta?
apakah dia bisa memberikan kebahagiaan?
apakah tanpanya kita tidak akan pernah bahagia?
Sulit dikatakan...
Begitu banyak cinta kudapat
begitu banyak perhatian dan kasih sayang kuterima
namun, semua itu bukan darimu...
hatiku hampa tanpa cintamu
Tak seharusnya aku begini
tak semestinya aku berharap
sudah seharusnya aku merasa puas
puas dan bersyukur dengan sangat
atas segala berkat yang aku dapat
Apalah arti cintamu
bila hanya akan membawa derita

KAU
Sewaktu ku masih lugu
kau tampak begitu menarik di hati
Setiap ku melihatmu
sosokmu kian membuat jantungku melemah
Kini, semua itu telah berlalu
Mataku mulai terbuka
Paras wajahmu tak lagi dapat menipuku
Rayuan gombalmu tak lagi mampu menerobos hatiku
Sadar, kini aku tersadar
terbangun aku dari mimpiku
mimpi yang tiada kunjung habisnya
sebuah khayalan indah
yang hanya pantas untuk dikenang
Memori...
biarlah itu semua menjadi memori
yang tersimpan indah dalam sanubariku
In Loving Memory of "u Know Who" - DNA 2005
Untuk Dia
Mengapa aku bukan untuknya?
dimatanya ku tak kan pernah sempurna
kapankah dia kan menyadari?
semua yang tlah kulakukan hanya untuknya
Senyumnya masih terbayang di mimpiku
namun nyatanya realita terus menjauh
walaupun hatiku tlah terluka
ku tak mengerti mengapa ku masih setia menunggunya
Mungkinkah memang kita berbeda
namun sayangku hanya untuknya mengapa...?
semua mimpiku dan tujuanku
untuk dia
kucoba tahan ku tak kuasa
hanya dia
Disini aku sendiri
hanya hampa yang menemani
kapankah pilu ini kan berakhir
ku lelah menghadapi semua ini
Ingin mencoba melupakannya
kuta'kan hidup hanya untuknya...

Patterson & Walkill
Went to Patterson and Walkill today with 'ncle Ming...
Patterson seems to be a resort or even a country club for the bethelites... I would want to work there too. Owell, I met my prince charming there HeHee.. Duuh udah kayak pangeran berkuda putih di dongeng2 dehhh... Asliii ganteng abisss, kayak bintang pelem dahhh... Sayangnya gak kenalan (lagian gimana cara coba?!?) Cuman bisa menatap dari samping ajah, soalnya pas lunch dia duduk di meja sebelahku =p Too bad don't have anybody who knows him, owell...
We took a picture with Bro. Loisch, one of the governing bodies... And we met the brother who's in the Young People Ask latest video... It's so cool to see such people in real life, seems like meeting celebrities =p
We went on an Audio/Video tour in Patterson... It's a privilege since only those who are with a bethelite can do the tour... They showed how they made Videos and Audio CDs. They even have their own studio and all that, it's like going on a backlot tour in Universal Studios. WOW!
Later that afternoon, we went to Walkill to see all the new printing presses that the society just bought. The experience is breathtaking indeed... WOW! That's all I can say...
On our way back, n'cle Ming took us on a night tour of Manhattan... WE LOVE NEW YORK!!!
Bethel Tour
A visit to Bethel (Office, Factory & Residential) Had Lunch with Luke @ Brooklyn Heights' dining room... Dinner at 90 Sands' ... Free food for today, yeyy! Lotsa cute bethelites euyy ;) Off to Service meeting and Theocratic Ministry school at Jackson Heights Congregation (n'cle Siong's)
Lamb Gyro for late night snack... Mann we do eat a lot here. The cold weather might be the reason why HeHee...
Good thing that I wore my comfortable shoes today, Emi had her boots on again (poor thing)
We need a real good night sleep to recharge...
a New York Minute
Hellooo NYC!!! The Big Apple with all of its glitz, glam and glitters...
Can't wait to explore the city with my dearest friend eMichan.
Poor thing, Emi had to wait for me at the airport for like almost 3 hours... one of the security guards even asked her if she's alright hehee... Owell we were sooo happy when we see each other after 6 months living our separate ways.
'Ncle Ming was the one who picked us up, good thing that i have some relatives there so then we don't have to spend a lot of money in transportation x)
Owell he took us right to our Bed & Breakfast. We stayed in the Brooklyn area, which is where Bethel is located. We fell in love with our B&B and its neighborhood instantly. Seems like the owner of the house is incredibly rich. The house looks so elegant with its antiques. We LOVE it! Owell, it better be nice for $90/night HeHee...
After freshin up, 'Ncle Ming took us around the neighborhood. Everywhere we went, we always met a bethelite. They were all around the neighborhood. Carrying laundry bags, witnessing, and just simply walking around. It's like livin in paradise coz all of our surroundings are mostly witnesses. I want to live hereee... such a spiritual oasis... Owell we then went to Bossert. It's one of the bethelites' resident buildings that used to be a hotel. WOW!!! The place is... Owell, I have no words to describe it. Kereeeeeeeeeeennnn banget deh pokoknyaa!! Then uncle Ming took us to the roof top to see the view of Manhattan from Brooklyn, DANG! I'm lovin New York already...
Our "Cherry on top" for today would be when we met the cute brothers in the dining room at Bossert HeHee... We took a picture of them too (thx 'Ncle Ming!) Emily has the picture, soo I'll show it to you guys some time later (sabarr, sabarr HeHee)
It's BRUNCH time! We went to this cozy cafe in the neighborhood and 'Ncle Ming treat us for lunch. Then, off we go to Manhattan BaByy HeHee...
The subway system in NYC is very easy to learn. As long as we know where's or starting point, and where do we wanna go, then you'll be fine. Our first destination was 5th Avenue *kcHiink*...
Gilak banget dehhh BARNEYS-nya 7 lantai boookkk. Itupun buat cewenya doank, buat cowonya ada lagi, 7 lantai juga. Pokoknya puas banget deh window shopping hari itu. Bisa gawat klo blanja beneran coz it's all only pleasing to the eyes huhuhh... SAKS FIFTH juga gede banget, mana tas2nya lucu2 lagih. Owell NYC's a shopping paradise indeed! CHANEL, DIOR, BURBERRY, PRADA, GUCCI, ANYA HINDMARCH, ZARRA, H&M, u name it, they have it.
Later that night, after walkin 10 blocks (poor Emi, she had her boots on), we ended up having dinner at Thai grille in Brooklyn. I had Pad Thai and my beloved Thai Ice Tea =) They just completed my day... See you tomorrow in our New York minute...
New York Trip
My last final would be today, yeeyy! Actually this week is final's week, soo good luck for all the peopoo out there that are still struggling with finals. I'm off to New York at 11.59pm tonight...
