I will survive

Lagu ini menjadi teman perjalanan yang setia, saat aku sering menghabiskan waktu akhir pekan di Bandung, sementara aku baru saja pindah kerja di Jakarta. Lingkungan baru ternyata tidak mudah membuatku betah apalagi di Jakarta masih lonely belum punya banyak teman.

Akhirnya lagu ini memberikan inspirasi untuk survive.... Life all alone in the mid of jakarta's junggle.

CAKE – I Will Survive

At first I was afraid, I was petrified

I kept thinking, I could never live without you by my side

But then I spent so many nights

thinking how you’d done me wrong

And I grew strong, I learned how to get along

So now you’re back, From outer space

I just walked in to find you here

Without the look upon your face

I should have changed my f-ing lock

I would have made you leave your key

If I’d have known for just one second

You’d be back to bother me

Oh now go,

Walk out the door

Just turn around now

You’re not welcome anymore

Weren’t you the one who tried to break me with desire
Did you think I’d crumble
Did you think I’d lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
As long as I know how to love I know I’ll be alive
I’ve got all my life to live
I’ve got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
Yeah, yeah
It took all the strength I had
Just not to fall apart
I’m trying hard to mend the pieces
Of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me
With somebody new
I’m not that stupid little person still in love with you
And so you thought you’d just drop by
And you expect me to be free
But now I’m saving all my loving
For someone who’s loving me
Oh now go,
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
You’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried to break me with desire
Did you think I’d crumble
Did you think I’d lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
As long as I know how to love I know I’ll be alive
I’ve got all my live to live
I’ve got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
Yeah, yeah

TOMORROW

Suatu siang yang terik, di sebuah kamar kost di daerah Pal Batu JakSel. Seorang teman yang tengah dirundung kebimbangan, menyanyikan lagu ini diiringi keyboard. Suaranya serak mendesah, basah menyayat.

Aku termangu, tak terasa meresapi syair lagu ini, teringat kisah yang sama... The floating love...

Jakarta, someday in 2002.

TOMORROW

-europe-

Will you be there beside me

if the world falls apart

and will all of our moments

remain in your heart

will you be there to guide me

all the way through,

I wonder will you

Walk by my side,

and follow my dreams

and bear with my pride,

as strong as it seems

will you be there tomorrow

Will you be there beside me

as time goes on by

and be there to hold me

whenever I cry

will you be there to guide me

all the way through,

I wonder will you

Walk by my side, and follow my dreams

and bear with my pride,

as strong as it seems

will you be there

tomorrow

Always

Entah mengapa lagu ini jadi kedengaran enak di telinga...

Denger pertama pas di malam "midodareni" tante seorang teman, di jl. Gajah Mada Malang

Kapan ya... hm.... loepa... dah jadul banget yg jelasss...

Always

Bon Jovi

This romeo is bleeding

But you can't see his blood

It's nothing but some feelings

That this old dog kicked up

It's been raining since you left me

Now I'm drowning in the flood

You see I've always been a fighter

But without you I give up

Now I can't sing a love song

Like the way it's meant to be

Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore

But baby, that's just me

And I will love you, baby - Always

And I'll be there forever and a day - Always

I'll be there till the stars don't shine

Till the heavens burst and The words don't rhyme

And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind

And I'll love you - Always

Now your pictures that you left behind

Are just memories of a different life

Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry

One that made you have to say goodbye

What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair

To touch your lips, to hold you near

When you say your prayers try to understand

I've made mistakes, I'm just a man

When he holds you close, when he pulls you near

When he says the words you've been needing to hear

I'll wish I was him 'cause those words are mine

To say to you till the end of time Yeah,

I will love you baby - Always

And I'll be there forever and a day - Always

If you told me to cry for you I could

If you told me to die for you

I would Take a look at my face

There's no price I won't pay

To say these words to you

Well, there ain't no luck

In these loaded dice

But baby if you give me just one more try

We can pack up our old dreams

And our old lives

We'll find a place where the sun still shines

And I will love you, baby - Always

And I'll be there forever and a day - Always

I'll be there till the stars don't shine

Till the heavens burst and The words don't rhyme

And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind

And I'll love you - Always

REALITY

When I was in Gambir Station, met & knew her by accident, 29 May 2001

REALITY

(Jeff Jordan/Vladimir Cosma)RICHARD SANDERSON

- 1983 -

Met you by surprise, I didn't realize

that my life would change forever

saw you standing there, I didn't know I cared

there was something special in the air.

Dreams are my reality

the only real kind of real fantasy

illusions are a common thing

I try to live in dreams

it seems as if it's meant to be.

Dreams are my reality

a different kind of reality

I dream of loving in the night

and loving seems alright

although it's only fantasy.

If you do exist, honey don't resist

show me a new way of loving

tell me that it's true

show me what to do

I feel something special about you.

Dreams are my reality

the only kind of reality

maybe my foolishness has past

and maybe now at last

I'll see how a real thing can be.

Dreams are my reality

a wonderous world where I like to be

I dream of holding you all night

and holding you seems right

perhaps that's my reality.

Met you by surprise, I didn't realize

that my life would change forever

tell me that it's true

feelings that are cue

I feel something special about you.

Dreams are my reality

a wonderous world where I like to be

illusions are a common thing

I try to live in dreams

although it's only fantasy.

Dreams are my reality

I like to dream of you close to me

I dream of loving in the night

and loving you seems right

perhaps that's my reality.

Hasil Imbang Arema masih di Puncak

Malang,19-12-2009
Bertanding tanpa penonton, mempengaruhi ritme permaina Arema, ditambah lagi beberapa pemain kunci tidak bisa bertanding atau sedang di rotasi oleh pelatih Rene Albert.

Minim sekali tendangan-tendangan yang mengarah ke gawang Persib, kalaupun ada tidak begitu membahayakan gawang Sinthaweechai Hathairattanakool yang bermain cukup gemilang.

Masuknya M Ridwan, tidak juga bisa merubah keadaan, serangan-serangan Arema masih kurang menggigit. Kendatipun Persib hanya bermain dengan 10 pemain, menyusul kartu merah yang dikeluarkan wasit untuk Hilton Moreira menit 86, keadaan tetap tidak berubah hingga peluit panjang dibunyikan.

PR untuk team Arema, untuk pertandingan-pertandingan yang akan datang agar tampil lebih agresif. Kebijakan rotasi pemain patut diacungi jempol, mengingat perjalanan kompetisi yang masih panjang, yang pasti akan menguras tenaga, sehingga diperlukan starting team dan bench yang tidak berbeda kemampuannya. Go ... Arema... Go... (asheva).

Negeri Menangis

Adalah suatu negeri elok, gemah ripah loh jinawi. Menghijau subur, ibaratnya tongkat ditancapkan tumbuh menjadi tanaman. Begitu indah negeri ini sehingga menjadi negeri idaman setiap manusia, bangsa untuk turut menikmati, mencumbui, bahkan mengeruk segala kekayaan yang ada.
Demikianlah negeri elok itu mulai menuai derita berkepanjangan, dia sendiri tak bisa merasakan kenikmatan sebagai negeri yang elok permai. Terpenjara dan terjajah. Bergelimang derita, 350 tahun dalam dekapan angkara kolonialis. Berharap putra-putri negeri ini mampu membebaskan ibu negeri dari genggaman angkara.
350 tahun berlalu dalam kesedihan dan kepedihan, tak membuat negeri ini hilang pesonanya. Kembali air mata jelita tertumpah kala sang elok diperebutkan kembali, sang saudara tua, menancapkan kuku-kuku penghisap darahnya menggoreskan lara, negeri elok ini kembali menangis, air mata berlinang menganak sungai. Memanggil kembali putra-putri penjaga negeri melepaskan belenggu penjajahan.
3.5 tahun dalam pilu, akhirnya putra sang fajar memberikan secercah harapan. Berhenti sudah air mata sang elok, menyaksikan putra-putri negeri mulai terbebas, berdiri di atas tumpuan kaki-kaki sendiri.
Kebebasan sang negeri, membuka mata para putra-putri negeri, betapa elok jelita negeri ini. Kecantikan tak lekang meski tenggelam dalam lumpur penjajahan 3.5 abad lebih. Mulailah sebagaian putra-putri negeri mengeksploitasi sang ibu negeri, menguasai untuk diri sendiri. Menyisakan sebagaian besar putra negeri lain tertinggal, tertimbun dalam penjajahan baru.
Sakit hati, cucuran air mata dikuasai bangsa lain, tidak lah sesakit dikuasai dan dikhianati putra-putri bangsa sendiri.
Negeri elok ini mulai menangis lagi, hilang harapan, kepada siapa lagi dia berharap jika putra-putri negeri ini pun mulai berlaku lebih dari seorang kolonialis....? Negeri elok ini menangis berderai-derai air matanya...menyaksikan pengkhianatan, korupsi, dan keadilan yang terjerembab...
Negeri menangis... salahkah dia tercpta penuh keindahan, keelokan dan kekayaan...???
