IF WE HOLD ON TOGETHER
Don't lose your way
With each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith, hope and glory
Hold to the truth in your heart
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I
Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end
Valley, mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying
Somebody is praying
Please let us come home to stay
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I
When we are out there in the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark we'll feel the light
Warm our hearts, everyone
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by
For you and I
With each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith, hope and glory
Hold to the truth in your heart

I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I
Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star

Washes our tears all away

the adventure
it is just like the adventure, when i have to shift from employee to employer.
life is much different in terms of time limitation.
i have to plan my time by myself, in relation with the project i have.
people must know this change, so i can get more proof from new relations
it is start from zero likely, but skill in hundred percent represented.
no doubt, i can actually manage the project at this stage.
some companies who invite me, sometimes got a hesitation, and prefer to have somebody else
so, it is time to think about developing my own project.
may God bless me....

EARTH SONG - MICHAEL JACKSON
Michael Jackson - Earth Song
Lyric:
What about sunrise?
What about rain?
What about all the things,
That you said we were to gain?
What about killing fields?
Is there a time?
What about all the things,
That you said was yours and mine?
Did you ever stop to notice,
All the blood we've shed before?
Did you ever stop to notice,
The crying Earth the weeping shores?
Aah............... Oo...........
Aah............... Oo...........
What have we done to the world?
Look what we've done.
What about all the peace,
That you pledge your only son?
What about flowering fields?
Is there a time?
What about all the dreams,
That you said was yours and mine?
Did you ever stop to notice,
All the children dead from war?
Did you ever stop to notice,
The crying Earth the weeping shores?
Aah............... Oo...........
Aah............... Oo...........
I used to dream.
I used to glance beyond the stars.
Now I don't know where we are.
Although I know we've drifted far.
Aah............... Oo...........
Aah............... Oo...........
Aah............... Oo...........
Aah............... Oo...........
Hey-yea!
What about yesterday?
What about the seas?
The heavens are falling down.
I can't even breathe!
What about apathy?
I can feel its wounds.
What about nature's worth?
It's our planet's womb!
What about animals?
We've turned kingdoms to dust,
What about elephants?
Have we lost their trust?
What about crying whales?
Ravaging the seas.
What about forest trails?
Burnt despite our pleas!
What about the holy land?
Torn apart by creed.
What about the common man?
Can't we set him free?
What about children dying?
Can't you hear them cry?
Where did we go wrong?
Someone tell me why!
What about baby boy?
What about the days?
What about all their joy?
What about the man?
What about the crying man?
What about Abraham?
What about death again?
Do we give a damn?!

MY WAY
Frank Sinatra My Way lyrics:
"And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, Ill say it clear,
Ill state my case, of which Im certain.
Ive lived a life thats full.
Ive traveled each and evry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Regrets, Ive had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.
Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried.
Ive had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!"

Berpisah tanpa haru....
sudah beberapa kali aku pindah tempat kerja, melulu karena pekerjaan proyek sudah selesai tuntas....
demikian pula kali ini, segala sesuatu yang berkaitan dengan tugasku di proyek Grand Indonesia sudah praktis selesai.
2 tahun lebih sejak aku datang ke proyek ini, sangat antusias ingin bergabung...maklum proyek prestige di jantung ibukota Jakarta. Dengan arsitektur masa kini, tak pelak lagi...aku tinggalkan Bias Tekno ...
Kali ini ... Kapal besar ini sudah bersandar dengan tegar....dengan 2 menara menjulang...menara bca dan menara apartemen...( aku sulit menyebut Kempinski Residence, karena suatu saat bisa saja namanya berubah).
Sudah saatnya aku undur diri.....seperti pemahat...yang sudah selesai...waktunya untuk berbenah....dan menikmati pahatan dari sisi luar....
biar lah tugas memelihara pahatan itu dikerjakan oleh orang lain....
Rasa haru sama sekali tidak bersuara di lubuk hati....entah kenapa....( tidak seperti waktu waktu yang lalu...saat aku meninggalkan tempat kerjaku yang dulu )...
Sepertinya Grand Indonesia ini sebuah keluarga besar...yang masing masing anggota keluarganya bermain sendiri sendiri.....dan kalau aku pergi ... tidaklah berarti...lenyap begitu saja.....
Syukurlah kalau memang semua nya berjalan lancar....di kemudian hari....
Teman teman kerja ku yang selalu meminta pendapatku...mungkin tidak lagi akan bertanya kepadaku....maka sepi akan mengelilingi hari hari ku di awal tugasku yang baru....
no problem...aku sudah sering berhadapan dengan situasi ini....toh akhirnya akan cair kembali.
Rasa terima kasih buat rekan rekan di Grand Indonesia...sampai jumpa...tak ada gading yang tak retak....maafkan kalau aku melakukan kekeliruan di mata anda sekalian...tidak ada unsur kesengajaan pastinya....

Sabtu, 16 Mei 2009
DR.LIVIANTI
Usaha meluruskan jariku sudah mentok...dari dokter syaraf dr.Santoso, sinshe Iwan, pak Haji Cimande, Hari Temanggung, hm....masih ada satu yang harus aku samperin.
Berbekal nomor telpon yang dikasi oleh kakak iparku, aku mulai coba cek keberadaan dr.Livianti di Kelapa Gading. Ternyata masih ada....
Sore itu ... tekat bulat... aku berangkat ke Kelapa Gading...dengan mudah aku temukan tempat praktek dr.Livianti yang lulusan dokter specialist Acupunture dari China ini.
Jam menunjukkan pukul 4 sore, ruang praktek masih kosong...tidak ada pasien..
Tidak lama menunggu...dr.Livianti keluar, dan aku memperkenalkan diri dan masalah jariku.
Setelah dilihat sebentar, dia langsung putuskan untuk di treatment.
Pertama dilakukan pembiusan dulu di seputar jari yang melengkung kaku ini. Lalu dengan tusukan jarum jarum panjang...di seputar jari tengah tangan kiriku ini...dan dilakukan penggetaran dengan peralatan kabel-kabel.
Selesai dalam waktu setengah jam....terasa jari sudah lurus dan tidak ada rasa sakit bila ditekuk.
Aku merasakan ... pengobatan ini berhasil ... dan benar... sepulang dari sana jari ini sudah terlihat normal...walaupun ada sedikit tegang di sendi..
Bravo dr.Livianti....thanks alot...thanks God...sudah membawaku ke dokter ini.

TOUR DE BENGKULU
Saturday 2 May 2009,
Without any preparation, i and my wife, my sister inlaw and her husband flied to Bengkulu.
"Lion Air" bring us with Boeing 737 big bird i think...pilot Sulaeman landed it smoothly and just perfect at Fatmawati Soekarno small airport. Time said 10.30 am
Romo Dwijo Soekarno with his full of smile, has wait us in the arrival door. He is not changed, still charming as before ( we meet him every week at St.Stephanus - Cilandak, Jakarta ). Almost five years, he moved to Bengkulu.
Bengkulu for me is unique. Small beach bay city, along West side of Sumatra. Above the Province of Lampung. Pantai Panjang beach really give us a natural sceen with pine tree along the bay...hmm...nice breeth...
With his "Jakarta Kijang" Romo bring us to the villages and some heritage places. The history told that Bengkulu was colonied by England, and because of war Bengkulu has to be bartered with Singapore. So .. England move to Singapore, and give Bengkulu to Indonesia...( imagine if Bengkulu still under England...it will become a fantastic city...just like Singapore).
The city is quite, no traffic jamb, trees look fresh....people are moving...means economic growing...crued palm forestry is everywhere...
We finally arrived at St.Yohanes Church where Romo Dwijo stay and lead the Church. He built this new church, a huge building for the scale of the city. Uniqely, he made a statue of Yohanes .. very impresive.... the artist made it from cement and carved with spoon...
We visit Romo actually to do a design for Chapel at Mukomuko... 6 hours from Bengkulu city.
And Romo also has a plan to extend the Pastoran. Fantasticly...the Pastoran has a beach view...
We go out for lunch, and drived around the city. And Romo dropped us to the Grage Horison Hotel, the finest hotel in the city. Then we take a rest. Romo has to prepare a mass at 5.00 pm
See you tomorrow....
5.30 pm the sun set looks beautiful, we went there, and take a pictures from the beach.
Dinner with seafood at "Laurent" Toro the driver suggestion, first impression .. so quite...but then become crowded.
Back to the hotel...and...good night.
Sunday 3 May 2009,
Mass at St.Yohanes church...at 7.30 am..Romo Yudha lead the mass. Some sisters from the congregation of Carolus Borromeus were there. Finish with mass, we went to the heritage places, like Fatmawati House, Soekarno House, Fort Marborough, Tapak Paderi, and others.
Can't wait for lunch, we found Padang Sederhana Bintaro....hm...weird...
We went to Lake "Dendam tak sudah" means unfinish revenge....Romo Dwijo brought us there.
We enjoy the lake with drink coconut water. Romo really enjoy travelling actually, he told us that he drive himself accross the way to Lampung.
4.30 pm we have to reach the airport, after we went to Bengkulu Expo. We reach airport at 4.30 pm...but surprise surprise...the airport still closed...wait until 5.00 pm.
Flied at 6.00 and arrived at Cengkareng 7.00...back home...
Thanks alot...Romo Dwijo....we'll meet again...later.

Tour de Java
Even just a few cities, feel great to come back to my hometown...
Flied by Batavia Airlines, Boeing 737 landing smoothly at Ahmad Yani Airport Semarang, Friday morning 26 March 2009 8.00 am. My sister with her husband Djarot and his daughter Nita picked me up...and directly take a dreamy breakfast 'sego ayam' ..hmm...just perfect...my wife also enjoy it.
Not so progressively change, i still can feel the atmosphere of Semarang city...not so crowded...life is easy..and ya....so many place to eat...sego ayam .. soto ayam...soto sapi...lumpia...etc.
Hill area .. yes..quite a lot of changes here...feel that rich people try to find a good place for a house at Candi area up to Ungaran...this is the cool weather area...nice to have a house with a good view of hills and mountain. We were travelled along this road when we go to Temanggung city to meet with Harry the masseur.
Temanggung is a small village actually, where Harry stay there. We have appointment with him to check my finger and overall health. He is expert on reflexologie theraphy.
Back from Temanggung, we went to Gedono. Gedono recognize as a unique chatolic sanctuary designed by Romo Mangunwijaya a wellknown art, social and culture expert. Gedono located near a small village Salatiga. There are some building over there. Church, sanctuary, and souvenir shop. The architecture of the building is unique, natural, and decorative.
Back to Semarang by night, again we plan to find 'wedang kacang' .. boiled white bean, green bean, pour with ginger taste...hmm...long time has never meet this kind of baverage.
Day two,
went to Muntilan, if you know Borobudur temple...yes..this is the small village where Borobudur stand there. Again we meet Harry...one more shoot...uh...very hard....but i am sure...it can help to refresh our body metabolism.
Finish with that all things of therapy, i and my wife go directly to Purwokerto. It is not easy to find a transporter from Magelang to Purwokerto...we have to order from Semarang...and catch the car at Coffee Eva at Ambarawa.....coffee Eva is my childhood recreation destination, from this point of view...we can see Rawapening, famous lake ... and beautiful mountain of Ungaran.
Really late arrived at Purwokerto, so tired....and sleep...
Day three,
Breakfast with 'gudeg pereng' clean and soft ... with boiled egg.
And continue the journey to the cemetery of our rest in peace beloved grandma, father, and uncle.
Ajibarang is the next destination, where our auntie and uncle stay there.
This is the small village...where people still farming chicken, bird, rice..
From there...we take a break .. get lunch at 'cahaya baru' ancience chineese restaurant special serving noodles. Hmmm....quite nice...but don't eat to much...
Sokaraja...small town near Purwokerto, where getuk goreng is all "ASLI"... there you are...
but I try to find a painter.....and finally meet with Pak Firman , a man behind 'Perkutut" bird ...wow .. fantastic...he has about more than 200 birds...
Rather than that, his daughter is a painter....and he also collect some painting from famous painter from Yogya...I got some name from him.
Night passing by...
my wife school mates gathered ... looks very happy...they share each other.. it's about 10 people together with their families...
Finally we reached 11 pm...where train to Jakarta...Dwipangga...arrived at The Station.
Then...back home at 5 am in the morning...long way home still empty...
Good morning Cinere...where wind and water smash...yesterday...

Ajibarang is the next destination, where our auntie and uncle stay there.
This is the small village...where people still farming chicken, bird, rice..
From there...we take a break .. get lunch at 'cahaya baru' ancience chineese restaurant special serving noodles. Hmmm....quite nice...but don't eat to much...
Sokaraja...small town near Purwokerto, where getuk goreng is all "ASLI"... there you are...
but I try to find a painter.....and finally meet with Pak Firman , a man behind 'Perkutut" bird ...wow .. fantastic...he has about more than 200 birds...
Rather than that, his daughter is a painter....and he also collect some painting from famous painter from Yogya...I got some name from him.
Night passing by...
my wife school mates gathered ... looks very happy...they share each other.. it's about 10 people together with their families...
Finally we reached 11 pm...where train to Jakarta...Dwipangga...arrived at The Station.
Then...back home at 5 am in the morning...long way home still empty...
Good morning Cinere...where wind and water smash...yesterday...

I Want To Know What Love Is
Foreigner
I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
I through the clouds
I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've travelled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
I can't stop now, I've travelled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
And I wanna feel, I want to feel what love is
And I know, I know you can show me
Let's talk about love
I wanna know what love is, the love that you feel inside
I want you to show me, and I'm feeling so much love
I wanna feel what love is, no, you just cannot hide
I know you can show me, yeah
I wanna know what love is, let's talk about love
I want you to show me, I wanna feel it too
I wanna feel what love is,
I want to feel it too And I know and I know,
I know you can show me
Show me love is real, yeah
I wanna know what love is...
I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
I through the clouds
I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've travelled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

NUANSA BENING
Oh..tiada yang hebat dan mempesona
Ketika kau lewat di hadapanku
Biasa saja…
Waktu perkenalan lewatlah sudah
Ada yang menarik pancaran diri
Terus mengganggu
Mendengar cerita sehari-hari
Yang wajar tapi tetap mengasyikkan
Reff :
Kini terasa sungguh
Semakin engkau jauh
Semakin terasa dekat
Akan ku kembangkan
Kasih yang kau tanam
Di dalam hatiku
Oh, tiada kejutan pesona diri
Pertama kujabat jemari tanganmu
Biasa saja…
Masa pertalian terjalin sudah
Ada yang menarik bayang-bayangmu
Tak mau pergi
Dirimu nuansa-nuansa ilham
Hamparan laut tiada bertepi
Back to Reff
Menatap nuansa-nuansa bening
Tulusnya doa bercinta

SINSHE IWAN
Hari Kamis siang, hujan rintik-rintik. Kulangkahkan kakiku keluar kantor...setelah ada semacam bisikan "masa bodo" untuk jariku yang masih melengkung nyaris kaku.
to make it easy..jalan ke kota aku tempuh menggunakan busway...lalu sambung ojeg...yang aku yakini pasti tau tempat yang aku cari "Sinshe Iwan". Turun di halte Mangga Besar..aku langsung ditawari pengojeg yang mangkal di halte tersebut. Agak sok tau...si tukang ojeg membawaku masuk ke gang gang sempit kemakmuran - keadilan - dan setelah estafet nanya orang .. akhirnya sampailah di gang sempit yang hanya bisa dilalui motor.
Rumah sinshe Iwan ditengarai dengan tenda biru di depannya, dan seorang bapak yang berjualan kue di depannya, sekaligus merangkap sebagai penerima tamu yang ingin berobat ke sinshe Iwan. Di dalam rumah tersebut langsung terlihat beberapa pasien yang sedang menunggu giliran, dan 2 pemuda yang sibuk keluar masuk mengobati pasiennya. Langsung dapat disimpulkan, 2 pemuda tersebut adalah sinshe Iwan dan salah seorang saudaranya yang juga berpraktek sebagai sinshe juga.
Setelah menunggu 2 pasien, akhirnya giliranku pun tiba. Setengah takut, aku pasrahkan jariku yang kaku ke sinshe Iwan. Dengan cekatan dia mulai mengurut tangan kiriku dari pangkal lengan, sampai ke ujung jari yang sakit ini. Lalu tanpa bisa menolak, jariku yang sakit ini ditekuk ke atas ... sakitnya minta ampun. Lalu dalam sekejap .. jari tengahku ini mulai lurus..namun masih terasa sakit di telapak. Dengan ramuan arak dan mungkin daun daunan..tanganku dibungkus perban. dan bagian jari diberi koyo. Selesai..
Masuk ke gang sempit di jalan keadilan ini, mengingatkan aku ke kampung halamanku semasa kecilku. Gang sempit yang ditunggui oleh orang-orang yang setengah pengangguran namun menikmati hidup. Jauh dari keseharianku, yang harus menikmati rutinitas di kantor. Oom yang berjualan kue...bisa bisanya meninggalkan dagangannya...dan menjual jasa ojeg ke tamu yang mau pulang. Beginilah cara melihat peluang....
