River Lover

What I love most about rivers is:
You can't step in the same river twice
The water's always changing, always flowing
But people, I guess, can't live like that
We all must pay a price
To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing
What's around the riverbend
Waiting just around the riverbend

I look once more
Just around the riverbend
Beyond the shore
Where the gulls fly free
Don't know what for
What I dream the day might send
Jut around the riverbend
For me
Coming for me

I feel it there beyond those trees
Or right behind these waterfalls
Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming
For a handsome sturdy husband
Who builds handsome sturdy walls
And never dreams that something might be coming?
Just around the riverbend
Just around the riverbend

I look once more
Just around the riverbend
Beyond the shore
Somewhere past the sea
Don't know what for ...
Why do all my dreams extend
Just around the riverbend?
Just around the riverbend ...

Should I choose the smoothest curve?
Steady as the beating drum?
Should I marry Kocoum?
Is all my dreaming at an end?
Or do you still wait for me, Dream Giver
Just around the riverbend?

Just Around The Riverbend

Eweuh Gawe

Kalo sedang segitu gak ada kerjaannya sampe mau-maunya baca iseng buku telepon, coba deh cari ada berapa nama yang sama atau sekedar mirip dengan nama anda. Haha lihat ada berapa kolom untuk nama Budi (belum termasuk Budhi dan Buddy), Dadang, Tuti, Nani dll. Mungkin buku telepon bisa mencerminkan kira-kira persentase banyaknya orang bernama sama dengan anda di suatu kota? Entahlah, yang pasti ketika mencari di mana kira-kira posisi nama saya kalau tertulis di buku telepon, saya tertawa terbahak-bahak membaca deretan nama yang ada di sekitar posisi untuk nama saya.
Bukan maksud menghina nama-nama mereka (tentu saja nama saya tak kalah aneh). Hanya ketika dideretkan kok rasanya jadi irama yang lucu.

Di antara nama Ramako (PT) dan Raman:
Ramal
Ramalis
Ramalus

ON DAYS LIKE THIS

On a day like this, I would love to climb, to the loftiest peak of them all
In the Santa Lucia mountains and sit by a waterfall,
Where all I could see as I turned my head, is the blue of the sea and sky,
A wind torn cloud like a tattered sail, on a ship that is passing by,
To gaze till my eyes have had their fill, and to hark to the glorious sound,
Of the singing birds and the rustling trees, where all the way out is down,
I would love to pose for the painting class, and be painted in all my glory,
With the moss green earth for the attic floor, in the worlds high upper story.

To sit at the very top of the world,
would give me the greatest bliss,
And that is the thing that I'd love to do,
on a glorious day like this.

Cooopeeettt!!!

Strategi pencopet di KRL/ KRD ato apa sih namanya? Pokonya kereta yang sedek2an itu lah di Jakarta =P (berdasarkan pengalaman pribadi):

• Mendesak untuk naik, mendorong anda dari belakang padahal kan masih ada yang turun (apa memang orang2 indonesia gak tahu bahwa dalam situasi itu yang turun seharusnya didahulukan?)
  
• Terus mendesak anda naik ke atas kereta (yang gile aje penuhnya) sambil terus mepet.
  
• Ditengah kepadatan yang gak ketulungan itu, tangannya akan menggerayangi tas tangan/ saku celana anda. Jadi, dekaplah barang-barang berharga anda close to your heart.
  
• Kalau ketahuan sama yang punya, dia belaga inosèn, lihat-lihat sana-sini
  
• Berdirinya di dekat pintu keluar jadi kalau kecirian oleh orang, berhasil/ gak turun di stasiun yg sedang dimampiri si kereta. Mungkin maksudnya juga untuk strategi jambret lalu kabur turun ke stasiun.

Ciri-ciri penting: Pencopet biasanya kurus dan jelek!
Sebel banget saya, tapi kasian juga. Beraninya cuma nyopet soalnya kerempeng. Kalo ketangkep basah bisa-bisa digebukin ampe mampus.
