what a song. what a lovely song.

I could try with the waltz
I could try rock’n'roll
I could try with the blues
If a song would dig you

I could sing it high or low
When I let you go, you know
I thought it was for the best
Now it is so obvious

So here it is, here it goes
I could try it rock’n'roll
A change-your-life-forever-tune
If a song could get me you
I could make it high or low
Sing it on the radio
If that is what I need to do
If a song could get me you

I could run for miles and miles
I’d take off and I’d start flying
I could cross land and sea
If you’d just believe me

I should not have hurt you so
This old house is not a home
Without you here there’s no use
I’ve got no time left to lose

So here it is, here it goes
I could try it rock’n'roll
Change-your-life-forever-tune
If a song could get me you
I could make it high or low
Sing it on the radio
If that is what I need to do
If a song could get me you

If a song could get me through
I’d sing my way right back to you
Tell me how to make it right

Tell me now, I’ll start tonight
I know I could make it last

I swear to you that if I knew
What I was getting myself into
I wouldn’t answer to my fears
I’d never leave you standing there

Just look at me

If you’d only see me
I would prove my love for you
I could swallow half the moon
Just tell me where, tell me when
I will have you back again

Yeah, here it is, here it goes
I could try it rock’n'roll
A change-your-life-forever-tune
If a song could get me you
I could make it high or low
Sing it on the radio
If that is what I need to do
If a song could get me you

So here it is, here it goes
I could try it rock’n'roll
A change-your-life-forever-tune
If a song could get me you
I could make it high or low
Sing it on the radio
If that is what I need to do
If a song could get me you

kangen :’( November 21, 2009

hahaha, padahal udah seminggu yang lalu sih ketemunya pas balik ke Bintaro. tiba-tiba gue mendadak kangen sama keluarga. ini gara-gara tadi pas gue jalan ke BSM tiba-tiba bunda nelfon gue, nanya lagi apa. trus dia bilang dia lagi di suatu mall, trus nemu tas bagus, mau dibeliin apa ngga.. YA MAU LAAAAH! hahaha pake nanya lagi si bunda. trus tadi gue ngeliat tweet nya Ayu (pacar nya Fadel (adek gue)), dia bilang hari ini Fadel tanding futsal 6 kali dalam sehari. ya Allah.. jaga kesehatannya Fadel yaaa, jangan sampe dia kecapean dan drop lagi. dia kan udah kelas 3, harus fokus ujian-ujian. mana katanya UAN angkatan sekarang jadi bulan Maret lagi. ckckck.. semangat ya Del…

untungnya kamis depan gue udah balik lagi. kan jumat udah idul adha.. hehehe. i really can’t wait for that thursday! sabar raaaat… 5 hari pasti berlalu dengan cepat kok sayaaang.

my artist of the week! November 21, 2009

i absolutely have nothing to post. then i decided to share what i’m currently singing and listening to. sooo here they are fellas…

Clazziquai Project

their latest album : Mucho Punk

lagunya asik-asik paraaah. kalo sampe ada CD nya dari album pertama sampe yang baru di Indonesia, gue borong deh. karena gue pikir worth it dan ga bakal nyesel buat beli. gue suka semua lagunya. tapi yang jadi favorite gue adalah: She Is (yang jadi soundtracknya My Lovely Samsoon), Gentle Rain, I Will Give You Everything, Chocolate Truffles, dan Speechless. gue yakin kalo dipasang di mobil nih lagu-lagunya, pasti nyetir jadi ngga konsen karena keasikan joget. hahha. oiya.. FYI ini band dari Korea, tapi kebanyakan lirik lagu mereka di dominasi bahasa Inggris. kalo ngga salah sih kata temen gue si Roxas, Clazziquai Project pernah manggung di JakJazz 2 tahun lalu. dan tadinya mau dateng di JGTC tahun ini, tapi gajadi. too bad

MBLAQ

their 1st mini album : Just BLAQ

pertama tau MBLAQ, gue langsung mikir, “nama yang aneh!” pas gue cari tau artinya apa, well.. it stands for Music Boys Live in Absolute Quality. hahaha. berat yee.. tapi menurut gue sih sesuai sama namanya. pas liat mereka di stage dan tv (haha, berasa nonton langsung)… they’re great! i mean, secara mereka masih sangat baru. kalo diliat dari musik, musik mereka arasemennya asik-asik dan cenderung berlirik simple and repeated. jadi memungkinkan orang-oran buat mengingat lagu-lagu mereka.

single pertama mereka yang judulnya Oh Yeah pas pertama gue denger, asik dan nyangkut di kepala. hahaha. apalagi pas liat MV nya…. mamam dah ganteng abis. trus single kedua mereka judulnya G.O.O.D Love juga cukup stuck in he head. asik… oiya, FYI again, boyband ini adalah produk pertama dari JTune Entertainment yang dipegang sama Rain. dan Rain sangat perfeksionis buat boyband yang satu ini.

Justin Bieber

his 1st album : My World

lelaki berondong besutan Usher ini memang membuat terlena. untung aja gue bukan anak SMP.. hahaha. bisa-bisa gue maniak sama ini bocah. suaranya oke, tampangnya apalagi. single pertamanya One Time enak banget buat didenger. begitu juga dengan single keduanya, One Less Lonely Girl dimana di MV nya dia main gitar. makin membius saja ini anak. ckckckck. kalo kata Esty, gaya-gaya nya ni anak kaya anak JIS (Jakarta International School) main ke Citos. hahaha. yeah right. Justin Bieber ini ngeluarin lagu tentang cinta-cintaan gitu. yaaaa model-model Gita Gutawa kali yaa kalo di sini.

excited ;) November 19, 2009

gue memesan ToyCam dari senior gue di SMA namanya Agra. dia jual ToyCam merknya Octopus. murah loh! cuma 35ribu-40ribu. i pick the blue one, with blitz but non panoramic mode. here it is..

dan kemungkinan blog gue bakal dipenuhi dengan hasil foto dari kamera ini nanti. i don’t know i just feel so excited about this new thing. same feeling when i have my first polaroid cam (remember, Nampol?). tadinya sih gue mau bikin Tumblr buat gue taro hasil foto-foto gue nanti, cuma pas gue nyoba bikin Tumblr, ternyata berat dibukanya. format blog nya aja udah futuristik dan agak lemot kalo dibuka. takutnya nanti malah tambah berat lagi kalo gue post foto-fotonya. hehehe.

okaaay then.. kita liat aja yaah nanti hasilnya kaya apa.

today’s hope November 19, 2009

i’ll find a love that will love me at my worst and i’ll find arms that will hold me at my weakest.

will i?

another heart stealer November 18, 2009

he’s Lee Chang Sun also know as JOON from MBLAQ! gue gabisa berkata apa-apa pas liat foto-fotonya, aksi panggungnya yang super oke, dan SENYUMNYA! ya tuhan senyumnya!!!! here he is…

 

Cynthia Hadiyanti! i blame you for this guilty pleasure, damn you!

Quote of The Day November 16, 2009

Thus, going into His path would be our ultimate goal in perfecting our methodological skills, and His methodology remains the most reliable one.

Negeri 5 Menara November 16, 2009

i just bought it last Saturday when i was back in Bintaro. thought i have nothing to do (alias gabut) then i decided to go to Bintaro Plaza to spending time alone, all by my self. watching movie, alone. eating Jcool, alone. window shopping, alone. what a life, ladies and gentlemen. hahahaha.

 

when i went to Gramedia, i decided to buy a novel since i didn’t read (my own) novel for a very loooooooooong time. so, i found a novel. it has a cool cover with an envelope, a real envelope. judulnyaaaa.. Refrain (Saat Cinta Selalu Pulang) by Winna Effendi. gue percaya itu pasti novel cinta-cintaan. dan gue sangat tertarik buat membeli. bukunya tebel, pikiran gue pasti jalan ceritanya bagus (hahaha, sok tau lo rat, asal abis). harganya Rp 46.000 kalo ngga salah. hmm… yaudahlah gue beli.

 

udah di tangan nih tu novel, udah mau ke kasir gue. nah di deket kasir ada rak buku best seller. oke, gue mampir sebentar. dan ada novel yang kelihatan menarik juga. Judulnya Negeri 5 Menara, ada embel-embel tulisan National Best Seller. this is the book’s cover

gue liat di bagian belakang novel, ada banyak testimoni orang-orang terkenal kaya Kick Andy, Arry Ginanjar, Riri Riza, BJ Habibie (maaaaan!), Kak Seto, Farhan, sama Helvy Tiana Rosa. wuuuiiiiih… makin tertarik dong gue… trus ada review penulisnya. Alumni Gontor, alumni HI UNPAD (lah, sama?!), S2 di US, S3 di London.. waelaaaah.. okeoke semakin makin makin menarik nih. harganya Rp 50.000 dengan ada label, Rp 1.000 dari penjualan buku ini disumbangkan untuk korban gempa Padang. Alright! tanpa pikir panjang lagi, gue pun menukar si novel cinta tadi dengan novel menarik ini. lumayan kan amal seribu!

 

okay then.. i went to cashier to pay that novel, suddenly ada mbak-mbak spg nya nyamperin gue, and she said

“Mbak, maaf.. mau beli novel ini?”

“Iya mbaaak.. kenapa emang?”

“Ohh.. ngga mbak, novel ini didiskon 10%. tapi saya baru mau ngasih labelnya, mba udah keburu ngambil..”

hooooaaaaahahaha.. makin bahagia aje gue. belom apa-apa udah berkah aje gue gara-gara beli ini novel. yaaa walaupun cuma 10% kan lumayaaaa daripada lumanyuuuun. ya kan ya kan??

 

sip. selesai bayar, gue keluar Gramedia.. dan sembari nunggu waktu pintu teater 1 masih lama dibuka… gue ke Jco. biasaaaa nge Jcool kaya anak-anak gaul pada umumnya (hahaha apaan deh lo rat). nge Jcool sambil baca novel baruuuu! excited deh gue. trus gue baca gue baca gue bacaaaaa… ternyata eh ternyata ini isinya model-model Laskar Pelangi gitu.. nyeritain apa yang penulis alamin..

hmmmm gue sih ngga bakal nyeritain detail disini. intinya novelnya bercerita pengalaman hidup dia di Pesantren Gontor yang mengubah dia sampe sesukses sekarang. di novelnya sih namanya bukan Gontor, tapi Pondok Madani. nama-nama tokohnya juga diganti. gue jadi tau ternyata Gontor kaya apa yaaaa gara-gara novel ini. bagus deh ceritanya. yaaa model-model novel pembangun jiwa sih. and the good news is ada tulisan di belakang novel “SEGERA DIFILMKAN” okaaay.. gue harap akan jadi salah satu film indonesia yang bener-bener bagus.

and i found some similarities between me and the author. doi lulusan pesantren, yaa ga beda lah, IC juga disama-samain sama pesantren kan? hehe. doi pernah kuliah di HI Unpad, eiiits… aing oge! hahaha. dan ternyata eh ternyata doi tinggal di Bintaro. hihihii… dunia sempit. gue juga anak gaol Bintaro gela loooh.. (ckckck alay lu raaat!) yang masih ngebedain sih yaaa doi S2 di US, S3 di London. gileeeee. kalo kata Anri sih “Insya Allah lo bisa sesukses dia, Rat..” AMIIIIIIIN! SUPER AMIIIIN!!!!

pas gue membaca novel ini lebih jauh.. it makes me longing to taste Insan Cendekia’s atmosphere again. gue ngerasa, masuk IC adalah salah satu pengalaman gue yang paling berharga seumur hidup. yes, seumur hidup. walaupun kalo diliat ditilik dan diamati lebih jauh, gue termasuk lulusan IC yang gagal mempertahankan nilai-nilai IC, hehehe.. but i really mean it. not only from my lips.

and i got a good news, that IAIC roadshow will be held on Saturday 28th November! AYEEAAAY!! means there will be another great weekend to come! tanggal 27 Idul Adha, 28 roadshow, 29 JGTC. azekazekazeeeeekkk….! can’t wait to visit IC soon, memenuhi janji nengokin anaknya ser Imam, meeting Ascova (this is the best part!) or maybe Ascova will go JGTC-ing together! oh oh oh ooooooh.. these are gonna be fun!

PUH-LEASE!!! skip skip skip doooong minggu ini, gue pengen cepet-cepet Jum’at depaaaaaan!!!

 

too bad i’m not that brave :( November 9, 2009

ya ampun gue keranjingan ngepost. dari tengah malem sampe jam segini gue bisa ngepost lagi. mengapa oh mengapa?? salahkan lah 2 post dibawah. yap… gara-gara gue cinta banget sama EndahNRhesa dan gara-gara abis nonton More Than Blue, gue bakal ngepost ini.

here it goes..

lagu ini udah menjadi jawara di top chart versi gue selama entah berapa minggu. eh… ngga deng, 2 bulanan lebih. bahkan gue udah suka pas gue pertama beli cd dan denger lagunya. judulnya adalah When You Love Someone.

I love you but it’s not so easy to make you here with me

I wanna touch and hold you forever but you’re still in my dream

And I can’t stand to wait till night is coming to my life

But I still have a time to break a silence

When you love someone just be brave to say

That you want him to be with you

When you hold your love don’t ever let him go

Or you will loose your chance to make your dream come true

I used to hide and watch you from a distance

And I knew you realized

I was looking for a time to get closer

At least to say “Hello”

And I can’t stand to wait your love is coming to my life

When you love someone just be brave to say

That you want him to be with you

When you hold your love don’t ever let him go

Or you will loose your chance to make your dream come true

I never thought that I’m so strong

I stuck on you and wait so long

But when love comes it can’t be wrong

Don’t ever give up, just try and try to get what you want

Cause love will find the way

When you love someone just be brave to say

That you want him to be with you

When you hold your love don’t ever let him go

Or you will loose your chance to make your dream come true

siapapun yang tau gue dan cerita gue, pasti langsung berpendapat kalo lagu ini gue banget. seperti halnya Lisha dan Esty, yang langsung bilang “sumpah raaaat, ini lagu lo abiisss…” hell yeah

but there’s a part of the song that told me to be brave to say… too bad i’m not that brave

more than blue :’( November 9, 2009

di kosan setelah banyak istirahat dari pagi-sore dan kerjaan gue dan temen-temen kosan gue cuma ngutakngatik laptop, akhirnya di tengah kegabutan gue di malam tadi gue dan Tya memutuskan untuk keluar kosan, menghilangkan bosan yang berujung pada membeli dvd. gue membeli 5 dvd. 3 dvd Gossip Girl season 3, 2 lagi judulnya Serendipity (western) dan More Than Blue (korean). tadinya gue mau nonton Gossip Girl karena gue udah ngerasa ketinggalan banget sama ceritanya. tapi Tya pengen nonton film lepas aja… yaudin akhirnya kita milih film korea itu.

awalnya gue berfikir film ini film cinta pada umumnya. ngga tau nyaaaa…. Ya Allah….. film ini sedihnyaaaaaaaaaa mampus pus pus pus pus tau ngga lo. gilak! gue sama Tya sampe banjir saking sedihnya. sedihnya gue bisa gue setarain sama sedihnya gue nonton If Only.

gue ga akan cerita banyak tentang film ini di sini. lo harus nonton sendiri. ga seru kalo gue ceritain. gue akan kasih short synopsis yang ada di bagian belakang bungkus dvdnya. Radio producer K was abandoned by his family. Lyricist Cream lost her family to a car accident in a split second. These two people continue their lives filling each other’s longings like a family, friends and lovers. But K has less than 200 days to live. When he’s gone he knows she’ll be all alone. K decides to find someone who can be with her for the rest of her life. Joo Hwan is a dentist, a kind and gentle soul. But most importantly, a healthy human being, someone who can be by her side. Joo Hwan falls in love with her the moment he sees her.

intinya film ini tuh apa yang akan terjadi kalo rasa cinta lo yang amat dalam ke seseorang ngga lo sampein. dan akibatnya adalah suatu hal yang sangat menyedihkan. gue sama Tya pun berujar.. “sumpah gue ngga mau kalo nanti gue kaya gini.. gue ngga mauuuuuu…”
