English Translation:

It’ll be okay, just look up
It’s okay, do you see the seven color (rainbow) bridge?
We can finally smile beneath the same sky

When we re-tie our shoelaces, the wind pushes us forward
Let’s continue our dreams beyond the light that spills from the sky
My heart beats within my chest, hope and fear pulsate through my veins
I wonder if it’s really okay, I wonder if I can make it through it all

It’ll be okay, just look up
It’s okay, do you see the seven color (rainbow) bridge?
It’s formed in the sky by the tears you shed
Hey, I know you can see it in the distance
I can see it too, same as you
Our two skies now become as one
We can finally smile beneath the same sky

We were born with different skies, skies that reflect our memories
You have your own story and tears I know nothing about
I might have been smiling at the same time you were crying
There may be similar kinds of happiness, but I doubt that for sadness

You place a border on the future with ‘promises’ and adorn it with words
I’m sure you wanted a guaranteed tomorrow more than anyone

Like a single season that goes by
Let your sad times remain sad
Don’t rush to turn them into happiness
It’s okay, I’m here for you
It’s okay, I’m not going anywhere
When it’s time to run, I’ll still run together with you

“Would that bridge form in a world without tears?”
The graffitti scrawled on the wall resembled someone’s handwriting
You wanted to build a bridge to get away from sadness
But now I close my eyes and toss my umbrella away

It’s okay

It’ll be okay, just look up
It’s okay, do you see the seven color (rainbow) bridge?
Look up in your sky that has cried all of its tears
Hey, I know you can see it shining brightly
I can see it too, same as you
The rainbow of our bond has formed
And now
Our two skies will finally, finally become as one
And get us to run

At Home

Some people who noticed about me back in Bogor said that I was thinner than before. Yup, that was because of the sickness I got couple weeks ago, okay maybe a month ago. The sickness just left cough in my body, the others were fortunately gone with peace, Alhamdulillah.

All the doctors that I’ve been visited (well, just two actually) didn’t take this cough seriously and gave me the ordinary cough syrups. When on the fourth week it didn’t heal, I got a feeling that this cough was extraordinary. So I told myself to check up my lungs when I got home, Semarang. This cough successfully took my weight dramatically.

Home sweet home
Home sweet home

So, finally I got home. My beloved mom who saw me asked me why I become so thin. “Just like your late grandfather”, so she said. She then asked me to eat a lot while I was at home. It means one things, there will be a lot of foods at home. Yippi.. Just to make sure, my mom asked me again if my eating sense was dropping. And I said, “no mam, I just haven’t enough food to eat back there”. This night I wrote this, she prepared one of my fave, fried Lele with sambals. It’s eating time!!

P.S. I’ll check up near this week. Hope It isn’t bad. Wish me luck.. :D

Registration

Today, September 15th, was the first day of graduation ceremony’s registration. I got there with Ferdian, but he has to take some money first. So I, alone, walked to the place. There were some people, not so crowd, but still it’s a lot of people. I used my height to find my mates in Ilkom, but I didn’t see one. I took a deep breath and tried to figure out how these registration works.
Fortunately, I found my old boarding house friend. I asked him what should I do, and he gave me some hints to work it out. So, I wrote my name on the registration form and placed it into the first registration booth. The right side was crowded with people so I took the left side. Curious, I stood near the booth and read the situation.
It just a minute or so when Ferdi came. I told him what should he do and waited again near the booth. Not long after that, some of my friends finally appeared. But, they took on the right side. I’ve told them to place the form on the left side wich was less crowded, but they didn’t listen. Uh well, mind your own business then.

Another few minutes, and my name was called. I got some paper back, then I went to the queue on second booth. Although the queue was so long, but it only took a minute to get to the edge. I gave my and Ferdi’s papers and waited my name to be called. These time took the most time.
When the caller reached the microphone, me and Ferdi took a caution. But our name didn’t call yet for three or four turns. It was my name which was called first. I took my invitation letter (for my parents) and some papers to take the graduation suit.

So I switched to the third booth, the last one. One thing that people around me worrying about was the size of the suit. Okay, it took me also. But when I got to the edge, the officer chose the size for me. So I took it and found some place comfy to try the suit. Well, the size was L and it fitted on me. Using this suite reminded me to a wizard in J.K. Rowling’s famous novels. Ferdi, Syadid, Halida, and Pandu joined me then. They all tried their suits, while I was taking a break.
After they all tried their suits, we went to the Career Development Division. We wanted to join the pre-graduation preparation seminars for job seeker and job maker. After chose the time and registered, we were going to our own directions. Me? I was going home. And now, I was registered!

P.S. The ceremony will be held on October 22nd in Graha Widya Wisuda (GWW) building.

Gathering

Several days ago, there was a small fight on Ilkomerz 41′s mailing list. In this holy month, some of my friends wanted to arrange a gathering party while waiting for Maghrib pray. One of my friends that has been worked in Jakarta didn’t want the gathering party held in Dramaga (near my campus). She said that the place was too far away. She has been negotiating with another friends and agreed that the gathering will be held on Bumbu Desa, one of the Sundanese Restaurant in Bogor.

On the other hand, there were also friends of mine that didn’t agree with her. He wanted the gathering held in Dramaga because there was still a lot of Ilkomerz who lived there. The second reason was the price of food in Bumbu Desa wasn’t cheap. The argue took some posts but finally it has been decided. The gathering in Bumbu Desa still will be held on Saturday, Sept 13th. The choice had been given. Anyone who wanted to come must listed his/her name. If they didn’t wanna come, so be it. A little tragic, but it can’t be helped. I think that this was a happy ending. 

Thinking about gathering party make me remember the gathering party held by my class in high school. For two years, we didn’t held it anymore. I will say it that I feel kinda missed that moments. Maybe my friends in Semarang was too busy to arranged the gathering. Or maybe we, who were studying outside Semarang, was too lazy to help them arranged it. I don’t know, but I really want the gathering in Semarang alive again. I missed you guys..
