Kelarr!! It's my first leot for someone else blog. I know it's not that great but I'm just happy coz I, in fact, can create one^^. The blog is soccery type of layout with mainly black n brownish elements. Pemilik blog aka si botak emang rada2 bawel, when I ask him what theme he would like to have: sport (soccer) - his addiction, or christinity - his identity. He said he wants them all in one, PLUS, he want a sunset scene as well. Marukkkkkk!! Mana ada yg kaya begituuu? LOL. So dats why the element colours are in brownish-orange mode (which I hope it could replace the sunset-ty feeling). N I also changed the 'weather' in the picture, when it was originally comes from bright sunny day soccer field, to the afternoon - almost dark type of day. Tadaa! Yep, check it out if u wanna know with all of these description @ http://donnybotak.blogspot.com. Warning, this site might offends some of u as he doesn't use correct/proper tanda baca.. maklum, donni gitu lohhh. Don, kalo ganti kalimat pake huruf besar atu!! Judul juga!!! Anak SangTi kaya gini niih, malu2in ga siy Beb.. hahahaha ^_____^

Ps. Don, now u can stop buggin me with your layout. Hehehe. Pisss. TRAKTIR!!!!!

IE users, please be patient with the not working line breaks which might annoy you reading my posts. Hopefully it''ll be fixed soon.

I mentioned last Friday I was staying home and watching TV all through the nite. There was a reality show I've only watched one time that nite (since lately I don't watch so much, esp on Thurs nite). It was called STOOGED. In a nutshell, the show was about making your friends believe your unbelievable stories, which is of course they are not true at all.

There was this guy who had to make his friends believe that he was contracted by NASA and was to be sent to the galaxy with a Russian female astrounout. All the proofs were very much proveided by the show, like all the legal letters sent from NASA, his pictures in the astronout costume, and the Russian female did even visited his house ! It turned out they do believe him, especially when that beautiful-sexy Russian woman knonekd on the door. Hahaha. Please note that all the lies they had to do was just given minutes before the 'show' began. So they didn't have that much time to prepare themself to do all the tricks. And what's funnier was that all the proofs also told about at the minutes they had been told about the tricks they had to do. So he also had not seen his own pic in the astronout costume and helmet.

But the most interesting one wasn't that case. This another case of a girl, she had to make her friends into believing that her design dresses were sold up to $1800 and eventually Halle Berry was inviting her to LA to design her 2005 premier dress. Of course it was with all the proofs like her pics with Halle and her name written on one of the fashion magazine.. and even an Australian actress came to pick up one of her dress. And despite all of her stories, she had never been into a design at all. Hahahaha

Buuuuttt, wat made me thinking, and this is really interesting. When she showed her design dresses to her friends, u know what, they were totally crap. I mean really crap. The dresses was like had been teared and design like crazy. Hahaha. But her two good friends (it was told that they've been friends like since 10 yo), were like totally amazed on her designs and thought that it was the greatest designs !!! And eventuallt they really meant it coz when she was out for another clue and camera was still on, they didn't say bad things about the dress in her back like, "I HONESTLY think the dresses were crap."

U know sometimes we as friends, and some of our friends, we try to make our friends feel good about themself even sometimes we don't tell the truth. Like... "Oh I'm so fat..", "No, you're not fat at all"... (and another sound in our mind says "Yes, you are fat though"). Hahaha. So I was thiking, which type of friends do you prefer to have? The one who tells you the "breaking-heart" truth? Or the "morning breeze" lie? And which type of friends are you to your friends? The pricess warrior who stands up against the truth? or the goody2 fairy with sugarplums to soothe things a little better, FOR A WHILE?

Let's think and count. How many friends do you have...? Hundreds..? Thousands..? Or Uncountable........?

Now, think again, how many, really, will you call in times of needs, and not feeling ashame at all to tell your most desperations and silliest feelings you have? Which I will label them as your GOOD / BEST / REAL FRIENDS (NOT BOYFRIEND / GIRLFRIEND). One..? Two..? Or.. none? Hehehe.

For me here in Perth, for almost 5 years I've been here. I have none. Hahaha. I'm not saying I'm such a freaky loner here. But to call as my really friends, those whom I share not only my shopping, eating, fun times, but as well as my darkest storiest, I do not have any. Hahaha. Kesiaaan ngga sih. Well, this does not include God ya. Of course He knows every single thing about me.

Tapiiii.. though I don't have them here in Perth as I can see them phisically, thank God, I do have some (not many). I believe not everyone has their really good friend. It's the four girls I knew back when I was in high school, where we used to called ourselves as 'The Quackers'. Hahahaha *norak banget*. The four girls who are ocean aparted are like my real sisters, I mean, more than sisters to me. It's funny that it's been 5 years that we're aparted and haven't seen each other that often (might be never?) but the friendship is so tightly bonded that time nor distance can tear it apart. All of us have gone through very different lifes, different circumstances, have made lots and lots new friends, rarely contact each other, but when it comes to share that deepest thought, feelings, and most ashamed stories, we always search and come back to each other to share things with (thanks to the technology buffs who keep on inventing new things *this is what Ayu's just mentioned in her last email*).

Today as I got another email from one of them, it's funny when she said.."and yet I feel that I can't trust anyone else like I trust you girls (or shall I say ladies?! ^_^ )". Yes, I realized (again after so many times), time speeds faster than anything!! *Whut? Ladies?!?!*

Once a quote mentions...
"Never abandon an old friend. You will never find one who can take his place. Friendship is like wine, it gets better as it gets older."

I love you girls, and I always do

There she goes.. there she goes again... Lagunya Six Pence of the Richer, kayanya cocok banget buat kepergian temen2 gw satu per satu. Maybe some of u who still live in your hometown u dun feel the same atmosphere like here di perantauan (sadaah , perantauan, cing!). Here when u r away from your family, your friends are your family, your sisters, n your brothers. and when there are lots of poems say "people come and go pass through your life"... n dats so right.

Siang ini Lala n Haryo balik indo. Besok malem, Baby's leaving to US (hey, dats her real name yo), n Monday... Dea is going back too. Gw skrng uda rada2 bisa "terima" this fact that some of your loved people dun stay forever with you. We meet thru chances and time, we get bonded by friendship, but somehow we have to let go at the end. Sad... but dats how it is I guess. Gw rasanya udah rada "biasa" liat this cycle. Watching them come and go, as called FOR GOOD... so I guess I must have believed in my heart that it is for their goods, and that'll make me smile.

Duh, lately I dun hef that much desire to post. Hehe. My work's been busy and steady though, not too hectic, not too relax. If u c the post heading, this last weeks I've been catching up wif couple friends from the history of a Melissa's life. Caela! N I can't think of how great Frienster is by connecting people around (beside onf of its biggest advantage: it costs nothing!). Thank u Mr. Friendster! Glad that u do exists nowadays.

U might dunno, but along my childhood until now I've been moving around places; houses, schools, and countries. I can't remember much about my first playgroup skul (dat when I was 3 n I think I spend only a year there). And my vision about my past's getting clearer since I got into the Kindergaten in Strada. It's a private Catholic schul, very close to where I used to live in Komplek Kompas. U wonder wats wif my house area name, yesh, my dad works in Kompas - Gramedia. Then I moved to another schul (this time it was much further), SMP Regina Pacis for 3 years. I also used to went to a piano course in Yamaha Music Indonesia from when I was 4 up to 15 yo. And during my 3 years junior high, I went to an English Course class in EEC. Going to senior high, I, then moved to Adelaide (South Australia). Met lots of new friends and a new life too. By the time I moved to Adelaide, my family got moved to another house, another area in Jakarta, mayan jau dari the old house. So I didn't really get a chance to say proper goodbyes n shed any tears. Dooo.. mang harus ya nangis2an??? From Adelaide then here I am in Perth. Dunno where live's gonna take me next.

And skrng I'm so much excited I'm that I'm an official member of Friendster. Hahaha. Kayanya everyone is gitu lo!! N it's like an impossible/miracle things in life happen to me: meeting lost, old, forgotten friends. Don't u guys too? Here, I'll share with u some of them.

Lintang. She's formally my first friend. She was a my next block neighbour then we went to the same kindergaten n elementary schul for about... 8 years. We used to play to each other's house and we share out first days of school together. I remember that her mom cooked the best brownies ever! And she's got a young maid who her hands got bruises bcoz I loved pinching her. Hahaha. So now u guys know that, my pinching habit is like since I when I was ever existed in this world.

Waktu Tk, I and her was bestfriends. We used to have our biggest enemy called Joanna and we hated her so much. And u know wats so cheesy? We love reporting bad kids to teachers!!! Hahahaha. We got up to the front of the teacher.. counted 1..2..3, then we say it together in tones as in, "BU GURU, ADA YANG NAKAL... NAMANYA...". Hahahahaha. Padahal oh padahal... I was also such a cheeky girl back then. One time I remember, it was a break time and I hef prepared myself to run after the swing (ayunan).. but the time I got there, someone else was there (one of the naughties boy, can't remember his name). Feeling powerless, I called another boy, to help me out... hitting that poor boy! And satisfaction ally, we (I tepatnya), won the swing ! Ouw, that very good (boy) friend of mine, who would bitten up another boy just for me (how sweet is that *not!*) called Jeffry. Dunno he remembers or not ya. Yea then that bitten boy reported Jeffry to the teacher bu Agnes (I can still clearly remember the whole scene), and angelic little Jeffry just simply said, he was ordered by me. Hahaha. Thanks. Now, both Lintang and Jeffry I met again after kurang lebih 10 years we didn't know each other existance. Lintang is now doing her degree in Sastra Inggris FIB UI. Ngga nyangka, Lintang yang 10 years ago is now doing English poetic.

Eggy. Yesh this girl is also one of my very first friend in my life. One of my memory about her is, she used to seat next to me in year 1 (dat's kelas 1SD) in the back(est) row. And I think it was our first test ever when the teacher Bu Tuti thought that we cheat and we got 0 for that test. Padahal.. at that time pun I didn't even know wat is the word 'nyontek'. Lol. Addition, she's also my first friend learning English, and also swimming.

Jessica. This one is a little weird. Lol, I mean the way we met.. it's a long story. She used to be my next block neighbour as well, but we got close only in the last 3 years before I moved to Adelaide. She used to come over to my house.. and trading our sticker collections. This is sekilas my testimonial about her:

"Yesh!! Let me the first writting u a testimunial^^. Jess.. temen masa kecil waktu kita semua masi imut sekali gitu. Tetangga belakang rumah yg setia maen ke rumahku *(^_^)/. Identik dgn sepeda roda 2nya, sendal jepit swallow yg setia menemaninya, les renangnya (yg kalo ga salah 2x seminggu?), anjing2nya, opa tercintanya, adenya Jerry yg kecil imut2 (n katanya skrng uda gede bgt!).. n koleksi stickernya!! Hehehe. I still hef those sticker collection books lo.. do u? ..."

N this is wat Jess wrote about me
"Mel, setelah gua liat beberapa testi lu da temen2 u, kayanya "sifat galak" lu masih tetep ada juga. hehehe...Kalo galak, sih ga usah ditanya.. dulu
waktu msh tinggal di Kompleks Kompas, kalo mo ngajak maen aja musti brantem dulu. milih mo maen di rmh sapa. hehehe...melisa yang gesit, lincah, asik, lucu, ilang gitu aja ga tau kmn..."

And thank u to Jess, she updated me with lots and lots of things happening in my childhood home area, other neighbours... as well as all the tukang jualan langganan dulu... "somaayyyyyyyyyyyyy!!" And tukang somay itu katanya masih ada.. only he now sells each @Rp. 1250, back then only @Rp. 200!

I met a lot of my childhood friends in Friendster, and each of them bring sweet remembrance to me. Pengennya semua gw certain.. tapi oh tapi.. *isi sendiri*. When I look back to my time back then when I was little, and seeing my life right now. Sometime u dun feel it that time does move on, in a light speed. When a boyfriend used to be annoying things that your friends make fun of u.. now everyone's getting really serious about boyfriends.. and marriage! It's really amazing that along my 22 years life (What? I'm 22?!?!), I have gone thru many things in life, by chance and circumstances, meet and know people, who then without I even realize, they become so called friends. They come and go as we also come and go to other people's life. Unconsciously, they leaving us with so called memories which is ONLY then u realize when they're all past thru. I mean, I didn't really realize and value friends who used to come and play at my house. But when everything's in the past, I do now can see the preciousness of every (little/usual/nothing special) moments. When I sometime open the book that I used to pass around my friends for them to fill in, the repetious sentence of "Always remember me", "Friends Forvever", or such kinds didn't really mean anything back then. But then I'm wondering, do they even remember that they did write that for me and right now they still do still remember me? Or did I remember that I once wrote that sentence in someone else's book and I do remember them? Lol, it's really funny sometime we as little kids we dun even know what we say, wat we write. Familiar ngga dengan kata2 berikut ini..

Cita2 : Belum terpikirkan tuh
Kata Mutiara: Ambil aja di laut.. or yg paling popular jaman gue dulu "Be Yourself". Doe kalo ditanya maksudnya apa juga bengong. Gaya lo ah.
Duh, kita dulu ternyata anak kecil yg ga tau apa2 tapi gaya banget ngga siy?? Hahaha

Oh well, I'm really glad after years I can again see wats my friends from the past doing. Each of them become their very own, different to wat I used to remember. It's funny when I think that we started from the same point (one kindergarten), but time brings each of us to very different things in life. As for me... people might also never had in their mind before wat will I be… when I'm grown up (I guess I can be called as a grown up now huh?) I used to say to people, I wanted to be and astronaut. Why? It's the story book fault! Hehehe. But, hey people.. I end up becoming a computer programmer now!!

So this time I wanna thank u, people, friends who I've met along my way, who probably often I dun really notice u as friends... but you(s) are. Thank you for putting so many colours in my life.

Baru aja balik dr farewell lunchnya si Rod. N gw notice 1 hal: bule tuw ngga bisa pake sendok dengan benar (as in we Indonesians ngga bisa pake knife dgn benar). Jadi megang sendok siy kaya megang piso, trush yg ane mrk lebih kebiasaan pake garpu jadi apapun pake garpu.. sehingga.. makan nasi pun menjadi dilema buat mrk! E ada 1 hal lagi niy ttg westernish compared wif us. They appreciate quality, where we, apprecaite quantity. Di restaurant westernish, they needed to be 1st class treated, the food MUST look nice and good, and of course above all else.. CLEAN. Soal rasa harga n rasa.. itu belakangan. I think they see eating is as an art. Where as asians.. yg terpenting adalah banyaknya, enaknya, n murahnya. Soal how does the food look like, how does it make.. ngga peduli gituh. Makanya they say.. we live for eating , bukan eat for living. Ya I guess somehow gw ngerti juga knp mrk mikir gituuu.. hihi.

Kmrn cell group Bethesda.. puash banget loh. Pertama makanan rohaniy, trus as always follows, makanan jasmani.. nasi empal ibu Baby n nasi n sambal Ibu Rudy (apperantly niy sambel bener2 dibawa dari rumah makan Ibu Rudy di Surabaya!). Sambil nonton Amazing Race of course.. Semua jadi kegandrungan nonton Amazing Race! N of course there was a couple eliminated.. and at the elimination point.. a romantic propose was made (benernya siy ngga romantic, soalnya they were all over sweating trus gada cincinnya pula).. tapi yg namanya di propose tetep aja romantic ngga seee. Trush ada couple laen pas di situ yg ngeliatin.. n semua kita pada bilang tu couple mupeng.. PADAHAL bin PADAHAL.. semua kita disana juga muka ngga kedip aliash MUPEEEENGGG SEKALIIIYYYYY!! Hahahaha, at the end we realized juga !!!


Gambar di atas bukan menggambarkan kemupengan kita pas liat orang laen di propose, tapi we were up to BUBBLE PUZZLE-an sampe jam 11.30!! AC Milan Vs Juventus pun kalah seru!! (Bener ngga si AC Milan Vs Juventus? Gw asbun doank cuman kedengeran familiar tu grup bola)

E ada photo lagiy ni.. gara2 nyasar di gedung parkir, trush mala jadi terinspirasi buat photo2.. Hahaha.. keren tapi. Buset dee doyan poto apa doyan???

"Rod..WAS my buddy, is my project leader, my next-seat fellow, my impatient teacher, my pal in good times & bad times (quarrel times!). We quarrel all d time (*I told you d password was wrong!*), dats coz his head's so hard (stubborn), like me too^^. He always arrives @ the office at 9am where it should be @ 8.30am (bad role for a new employee like me coz I do it too^^). His desk's a mess, dusty & sticky yellow notes all over d place (dat's bcoz he forgets everything). Rod ver much loves getting his photos taken!! His depression symptom is biting his nails. He used to do it & straight away use my mouse (imagine that!). But he repented. Thank God^^. Ouw, and he also repented from his coffee addiction of 5 cups/day! He's mad and has a great sense of humour but bad hair style (and still asked if he needed a cut.. haha). Owns fragile legs (got sprinted/ wound and bruises from falling off d bike/ juz limping with no reason)..."

Ya tu sekilash testimonial gw buat temen kantor gw Rodney Chieng. Dia bakal balik ke Melben minggu ini... Pertama kali gw kerja di Fujitsu sini, diya tu 'buddy' yg di assign buat gw, jadi ya yg helped me to get around pretty much everything in the office. N trus since my first dae working, I've been working within a team wif him as my project leader.

Dia tu dulu duduknya sebela gw, trus dipindahin abis dia back from Holide kira2 2 bulan lalu gituw de.. itu aja gw uda ngerasa rada 'keilangan' dia. Weits.. jgn mikir yg terlalu jau or ane2 dulu.. cmn rasanya beda aja, yg biasa ada dia di sebela gw, temen berantem gw, temen gontok2an gw, org yg sll bantu2in gw sama kerjaan gw, orang yg kdng juga tuker2 pikiran about many things.. such as Christianity (dia wong Kristen juga), n plus orang terkokcak juga sekantor!!

Gw sm dia tu uda kaya anjing sm kucing seringnya brantem mulu. Hehe. Gw suka kesel n abis kesabaran sm dia.. soalnya:

1. Diya tu bener2 kaya OPA2 pdhl baru umur 26. Diya tu pelupa buangeth ampun de. Jadi kadang uda assign a task sama gw, trus besoknya pas gw bilang misalnya gw uda kelar.. trus dia hef no idea at all itu yg gw kerjain apa.. n task itu tentang apa. Kaya orang ngga perna denger ttg project itu. Pdhl diya khan project leader nya?? Jadi gw harus ngejelasin dia a to z...


2. Dia juga lemot gitu.. kalo uda dijelasin, kaga ngatri2.. bingung de gw..
   Trus.. dia juga tukang ngotot.. sama kaya gw! Jadi uda ngga ngerti udah gitu ngotot.. kalo uda gini mulai de urat gw keluar semua. Trus kalo ditanyain sesuatu dia he-eh2 aja trus gw musi nunggu lamaaaaaa sekali abis itu dia baru nanggepin. Sebagai manusia gw khan ngerasa kacang itu jadi mahal!


3. Dia juga orangnya ngga percayaan. Duh lengkap bgt ngga siy, uda pelupa, lemot, tukang ngotot.. trus end up2nya kalo gw uda jelasin panjang lebar, dia ngga percaya jadi harus tangannya ikut2 kutak katik program gueh baru de dia puash. Kesel khan gueh? Dulu perna ada kejadian, dia ngasi gw password buat access web server gitu. Emang tu password susa. Trus khan dia tulis di kertas.. n gw uda coba sampe rambut gw naek tu password, sampe ngetik kaya orang baru liyat komputer (aka yg satu2 gitu).. tetep aja salah. Nah, itu udah jelas donk dia yg salah. Tapi dia ngotot katanya gw yg sala trus suru gw nyoba again n again. Sampe akhirnya gw harus kesel setengah mati baru dia akhirnya ngetik passwordnya pelan2 nantangin gw disuruh liat dia masukin passwordnya sambil gw tulis apa tuh passwordnya. N.. bingo!!! Dia yg salah ngasih password.. malu ngga siyyyy . Trus dia blg ya soalnya dia biasa ngetik passwordnya jadi kalo nulis rada2 susah.. yea apalah, tapi kayanya harus ngotot2an dulu gitu baru nyambung de gw.


4. Dia juga mejanya super duper berantakan.. jadi krn gw duduk sebelah dia, gw selalu tergusur pelan2.. sampe gw harus kesel (lagi) dulu baru de dia mule rada2 beresin mejanyah.

Tapi tenang aja, tiyap kali gw eker2an sama dia tu paling cuman yg dat moment aja, trus ya uda kelar.. ngga ada hard feeling2an. N beside semuanyah itu, dia tu my very best co-worker so far. Dia sll hands on kalo gw perlu bantuan (meskipun kdng worthed nanya yg laen to save up energy, emosi n waktu). Dia juga yg selalu cheer me up kalo gw uda mule suntuk or kalo dia ngerasa gw lagi ngga hepi. Diya jg tu orang terkocak di kantor de, ada2 aja hal2 aneh yg dia lakuin or ada aja jokes he makes.. pokoe kl ada dia n ngga ada tu kerasa buangeth.

Picture di bawa ini utk memberikan gambaran kecacatan dia. Waktu itu I just bought my new LG phone. The camera on it, u can rotate it so u can see urself while taking picure. Me, as the owner aja blm sempet do anything to it.. and look at my friend Rodney what he's done...



Pic yg paling gw demen thu yg di tengah, tau ngga dia tu pake jepit rambut gueh loh.. ck ck ck. Oya, people, diya tu masi single, smart guy lagi.. Anyone ada yg interested? Kuncinya si cuman satu, harus extra sabarrr.. n dats definately not me! hehehe...

Heyaa yaa yaaa!! I'm back after a while ngga posting.. my last days are so very much busy beyond imagination (apa se?). Tapi emang bnr2 sibuk bgt, it's liked I need more that 24 hours a day to get hang over everything I need to do. But I love having many things to do tho, cuz it dooesn't leave me with boringness n loneliness... ciyee pa si.

Niwe kmrn Sabtu malem tu cewe2 Bethesda makan2 hasil kemenangan kita ngelawan cell group2 laen lomba alkitab n tarik tambang (on Easter Celebration).. ck ck ck.. hebat ya kita (pdhl gw ngga ikutan lomba gitu lo! *yg penting kebagian mkn2 gratisnyah*). Btw, buat yg blm tau Bethesda, perkenalkan, we're the only girls cell group in GPdI Perth (our church). We are 11 SELF-PROCLAIMED as sweet n beautiful girls (in our own unique way), love being God's girls as well as put our hands into actions and helps, and last, we turned on only by FOOD and CAMERA. Lol.. how is that for an introduction??? Hahahaha.

I was one of the perdana member of this cell group when it was called Bukit Zaitun in year 2001 and sampe sekarang, I my feeling hasn't changed a bit of how grateful I am to be with these girls growing spiritually. Serunyah, yg namanya cewe Bethesda ngumpul pasti ngga jau2 sm yg namanya makan (banyaaakk) n poto2 (banyaaak juga!). Ga heran lomba tarik tambang menang, kalo ga mokal bgt udah terkenal kalo makan semua kecantikannya ilang gituh. Huehuehue.



And kemaren we won $130 Jimbaran Restaurant voucher, we had wisely used it to fill up our 10 tummies with 10 main courses!!! *as u can see in the pic*. Makanya cowo2 rugi kl makan bareng kita, soalnya kita ngga kala byk makannyah. Huhuhu.. *emansipasi perut wanita* N yesh as usual we had (many) picture taken and this time we hit 22 shots a nite!! N this is on of my fav.. *modified to watercolor picture*



Ps. Cewe2 pls sabar ya gw blm sempet kirim all the pictures to u...

Duh gw ngga ada bahan utk postingan niy.. tapi kalo ga update lama2 blog gw basi de. Last Sunday gw ada farewell dinnernya Merry aka Meyi. Diya si benernya emang uda ngga di Perth lagi since July 2004 kayanyah n currentlt she's studying Chineese di Beijing. This year she's back for her graduation ceremony just for a while so we thought of throwing her a dinner before she goes back to Beijing. The dinner was usual.. tapi after dinnernya donk.. foto2 ngga jelas gituh (sudah biasa tapi...)! So here we go I put it up for u some of the pics we took that nite.

Labels: Friends

Congratz for all my friends: Lieke, Silvie, Mary, Sandhy, Yusak, Meyi, Epe, Oline (did I miss anyone?)... yang this week having their graduation ceremony because THEY HAVE GRADUATED (of course.. dooh!). This song is dedicated for u all.. it's a special one remembering my time back in Adelaide when I graduated High Skul (in rememberance of the Quackers Girls n Cabra College)... love u girls.

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be

FRIENDS FOREVER ...

Just then, U kelar exam terakhir ever to get his bachelor degree . Rasanya ikut legaaaaa! Chelamat !!! . Welkum to the world wif a fresher air... yet the real life struggle's just started: nyari kerja.

Jadi keinget hari2 terakhir gw back in Uni days. Hari terakhir exam... it felt like... dun even now how to describe, u just felt an indescribable freedom. Yea, bayangin aja, after years (dari Tk sampe Uni, 17 taonan), u spent like your entire life in skul, then u realised u've just finished that huge chapter in ur life, somehow u feel like finally arriving to a point after a long long journey.

I knew right away after I breath in that "fresher" air, I'm gonna miss skul so much. It's been the biggest part of your life n now you have to put down that long time profession, A STUDENT, forever. Back with all the stressness and depresions we get out of the works needs to be done in timeframes, friends, teachers and exams, they are all... FUN challenges. School do ROCKS ! !
