Bakerzin vs Bel Mondo, Medan

It has been a week since I came back from Indonesia and few months left before leaving the UK. At some point, I am quite excited about that but quite sad to leave :( Anyway I did have good time in Indonesia and I actually visited nice and posh restaurants /cafe at Medan. Two of them are Bakerzin and Bel Mondo. Bakerzin is situated opposite sushi tei, Tengku Umar, it is one of the newest cafe at Medan. Its settings and decoration r nice - old style home outside with a touch of minimalis n modern decoration inside. I was there with Ma n bro, we were greeted by a front house member n we were given choice of sitting upstairs which is a fine dining or downstair which is just a normal dining. As me always be me, I chose upstairs, there is a 5.5% service charge in which I think is appropriate to pay as the service given to us were good, member of staffs were very attentive n polite. It was just that the music on that day were quiet loud, giving the circumstances that it was a day time. We ordered seafood spaghetti, crispy dips ( which consist ofa fried fish, fried beef balls, potato wedges,etc) , creme brulee and ice creams. All of it were good but I found a crack of tupperware inside my ice cream. But overall, everything was good.

On my last nite, my bro asked me to bring him to Bel Mondo, its one of the well known cafe/restaurants at Medan. However comparing to the service n foods that I got above, it seems that I rather to have meals on former than latter. However there is no service charge in Bel Mondo.

educated, education?

My last night in Bristol before going for hol , so thinking of writing my blog before I go. One of the observation that I notice ths few days is on taking care of a family either small or large. I am from a small family which consists of parents n 2 children and we are very closed and sometimes as its closed till makes u think that u dont have freedom to do wht u need to do in which make u think that its nice to have a large family and in that case ur parents would not pay all attentions to u. However, I noticed one thing few days ago on a large family, it appears that children from the latter are having too much freedoms till it appears that they r not being taking care properly. I do believe that parents do play important roles in raising and contribute to the behaviour's of their children in present n future.Not only do parents play important roles raising children , but the children themselves do so as no matter how hard parents do teach their children to behave but if the children themselves never ever want to change , there is no point of doing that and wht parents could do might be just advising especially after the children have turned into adults.
I remember while I was at Earl's ct waiting for train, there was a big massive arguments between a boy n his father, they were arguing not like a father n a child but as mates :( . From my observation, there must something happened which triggered how the child reacted /rude to the child's parents. :?

observe, learn and improve self

One of my subjects that I did for A'level was sociology and I remember that sociology's teacher always told us -in order for us to learn, we need to look, read and write - well can I put that 'look, read and write ' as similar to 'observe and learn in which we would be able to improve ourselves? not only in terms of attitudes or behaviour of one self but also on how we treat and respect others. I am not saying that one must change or alter his/her attitude and not be who they are but learning and improving self to be a better person but still keep whats good for us and I think that's one of the purposes of life too- to be a better person and give a contribution to a society where we live in.

Also, it seems that just becos they got a position in life ie much more power compared to some certain people, the former are acting like they are the King to the latter. Why do ths people need to act in tht way? cant they just be normal? Further , there are also some people who keep widging and complain all the times without improving themselve in which I see no points of doing that.

Was out with Keke, Stev n Christine for dinner in Bridge Cafe yesterday; lovely meals n desserts. Also watched Hachiko in the morning and as usual as stubborn as I am normally, I thought that I would not cry becos of a movie. Its such a good movie n it also shows that how loyal a dog can be n it makes me wonder whether a human being can be loyal too since a dog can be ....n what would it be if the dog passed away before the owner? Hachiko also reminds me of my dog, Cody, he passed away 2 days after I left my hometown. Cody is actually my brother's dog, its a bday pressie from me to him but I took care of him most times even though I did not really fancy dogs as I am ths days.

Anyways, we girls r meeting out again ths wednesday for Yo Sushi,oh gosh I m really addicted to that place. n If not busy, I m going to tante Hirim's house for BBQ on 5 apr. n home aftawerds. :)

new blog

Me and my fren has just created a new blog for our food exploration as 2 of us love to go out n search, n have a nice meal. I think it is a good idea to create a blog for that as we can share food's information- wht best or nt to other ppl too. I saw an article too on 10 quirky restaurants in the UK , perhaps me n my fren should try foods in that restaurant too

Holiday

I am going for holidays in about 2 weeks time, ths time is Asia again ie balik kampung. I am going to stop in Singapore , be at Medan for couple of weeks n Bandung for few days - my fren's wedding.
Well, since ths holiday is not going to involve lots of travelling like my previous 2, so I am thinking of going to do culiner tour ( foods) and local tour at my hometown. I did few search at restaurants, travel, stuffs about Medan , apparently I cant find lots of stuffs on the internet about Medan- very few limited stuffs that I can find about Medan. I do find that Tip Top is one of the nice restaurant at Medan other than that not much. There are also a few things such as layered cake/lapis legit, bika ambon, durian, markisa/passion fruit, nasi padang are all local foods which to me is a general knowledge as ths foods can be found easily/everywhere at Medan. I need to find something which cannot be easily found/unique fr Medan.

I am quite eager to see my niece in Singapore, too bad, not going to stay there for long due to the time of holiday, one of their famous food in Singapore is shredded pork, one of my fav too :)
Also looking forward to go to Bandung as heard that its beautiful n it gonna be my trip with mom, I want to go there as I can bring my mom to get away fr medan as she hasnt been out for a while.

OMG!! I cant imagine that the last post that I put in was in 2008 n this is 2010...well Happy Happy BElated Belated NEw Year and hopefully we will have a good year ahead. I was talking to my fren the other say about blogging n I told her that I had nt been updated my blog for years n I think I should have started on it again...

Currently, I am still living in Bristol and mite be , most possibly going back to Asia for good in Sept. I went out with my frens on tues and we were exploring all Asian foods, well it strange for me since that I eat most Asian foods , I should explore more of Europeans foods while I am here , aint I? Went out to watch Alice in wonderland yesterday n it was good and there is a new movie as well called Haachi and planning to watch it or buy the book.

This year, lots of things has changed on things surrounded my life, at one point, it is a good thing and vice versa, guess that everything has its good n bad, isnt it? I was hoping to see a sunny day today but its raining....

3 amazing things in indonesia

Its very surprising for me as actually there are still lots of islands, mysteries, cultures which exist in Indonesia. Like , a minute ago, I have just found out that Indonesia has nominated three of its amazing creatures to 'new7worldwonder' - Lake Toba, Krakatau island and Komodo National Park. Even though, I lived in Indonesia for 13 years but I have never realised that Krakatau Island is in Sunda strait near to Sumatera and Java. The most amazing thing about the island is that it actively blow up its volcanic eruption n which resultes in anak krakatau ( child of krakatoa), perhaps, i should explore my country more next time if i go back before exploring other countries ;p. it is just so amazing.

Once, I saw a tv programme about Komodo island from one of the UK tv channel, I have never been to that island and I think the island was only mention once/ twice during my study in Indonesia. We were just told that Komodo island is an island in Indonesia where it consists of Komodo. I think in order for Indonesia i.e the islands, expansion in tourism etc, first thing that Indonesia government should do is to educate its people/ generations in schools about the amazing islands and still lots to explore in Indonesia rather than just think and look outsiders/foreigners countries are great. It is also not wrong that other countries are better in some parts but if we Indonesian are not proud and promote our own country, who is going to do that? I was once had conversation with one of my aunts about it as well i.e. if we Indonesian are the ones who always say/ think negatively about our own country, when will this country be developed like where it used to be?

Another amazing place is Lake Toba, ohhh i love that place, it is about 4-5 hours drive from my hometown to lake toba, I have been there lots of times and the place never ever turn down my excitement about that place, it is just so beautiful....a lake which is surrounded by mountains and small houses around it and also there is a very small, tiny island called samosir island in the middle of the lake....that place is very amazing as well- friendly people and lots of stuffs which cant be find in cities or in the main island. It is a good place for relaxing n sunbathing...If we r standing at the top of the mountain, not even a top of it, we will see a very beautiful scenery...really amazing....lake etc. Cant wait to go there again.

points!!!

In life we r obliged to follow rules and procedures and decisions and actions that we take, may be agreed or criticize by others. We have no right to rebut and try to change the thinking of the others to us. However, the worst part is some people criticise and form their opinion towards one due to what ever have been told by some one else to that person. Instead of asking for clarification, that some people just straightaway agree with that someone. It is called as 'telinga ringan' in Malay.

Also, in life , I believe that we should be more open towards each other and not carrying a big sword and stab a person from behind esp if that person used to always said 'oh....i m a good fren or who and bla bla bla/ we r best frens...bla bla bla' all of these are just bull****. It clearly show that that person has not enough gut to tell his/her so called 'fren' the truth and keep one lie by one lie. He/she cant be classified as good/best/closed frens if in the end wht have they done just to hurt a person ie his/her best/good/closed fren very badly.

Sometimes, tht best/good/ closed fren is just jealous of the other as the other has something which he/she doesnt have and the only way to make his/her fren jealous/revenge is to take something which is really important fr his/her best fren away. However, cases may vary. In my case that is the case. There are a few points that i can learn from it is never ever trust a person even though they claim to be ur best fren unless if u have knwn them for a long time n u trust them. secondly, keep mouth shut to some certain people.

china-human rights?!! indonesia- corruption! women-equally, respect n dignity!

Olympic 2008 is coming soon in China and it seems that due to the Olympic , expansion and development is everywhere in China such as roads extensions n expansions, building new buildings for offices, condominiums. My opinion is development in China esp in Beijing is good, it shows that Beijing is expanding and going to be one of the most powerful country. Further, it may assist to attract tourism and investors to invest in China. However, due to the Olympic and the development in China, it seems that rights of human beings in China has been ignored. I watched a show 2 days ago about Chinese human rights which have been abused and abanded by its government and developers. In order to build new roads near to Olympic area, residents in the area have been forced to move from their houses and if they refuse, forces such as physical abuse. Some of activities who disagree with development n removal have been locked up in a place to prevent them to voice out their opinions. Even presenter of the show had been locked up for six hours and camera had been tried to be damage during filming the documentary. It appears that in order to make Olympic sucessfull, everything such as locked up , abuse are done to make it work, so is there really rights of human beings in China?

My cousin and I had just talked about situation in Indonesia such as corruption and its geographical area which is to wide for them to manage it. The geographical area is one of main factors to the existence of corruption in Indonesia as it is very difficult for the central government to manage the whole area. Other than that, the corruption in Indonesia has existed since Suharto regime so it may be difficult to abolish the corruption. These days, they do have an organization to prevent corruption in Indonesia but seems that the used of the organization is not really useful as corruption occurs in the organization itself. In my opinion, one of the ways to prevent corruption is to give independence to every state in Indonesia and they should provide annual reports to the central government every end of the year. However, according to my cousin, this is wht the government try to do these days but seems that it doesnt assist to prevent corruption in Indonesia. I think , in order to abolish corruption, initiation to do so must come from each individual, thus without their initiation to abolish/prevent corruption, it still will remain as corruption.

It is said that women have equal position as men/ women must be treated similarly to men i.e. equal opportunity in employment and in every aspect of life. I do believe that there must be equal opportunity but I do also believe that women must be treated with respect n dignity, we still really appreciated nice and a well gentleman. However, these days, it appears that it is hard to find nice and a real gentleman, some guys treat a girl nicely because there is something that they want from the girl. Well, there are still outthere nice guys but seem very hard to find ;p
the first well nice gentlemen guys that i can see so far/ in my life are my january intake 2006 family, secondly one or two of my friends' housemates and one or two of my groupmates.

I will be happy when...

I have just looking/ check through all my emails (forwarded) today and gt ths article which I think is good to be share with friends/ people that come through my blog :), enjoy...

I'll be happy when...

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with.

We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, when we are able to go on a nice vacation or when we retire. The truth is there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges.

It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure

it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with ... and remember that time waits for no one.

So, stop waiting ...

Until your car or home is paid off.

Until you get a new car or home.

Until your kids leave the house.

Until you go back to school.

Until you

finish school.

Until you lose 10 lbs.

Until you gain 10 lbs.

Until you get married.

Until you get a divorce.

Until you have kids.

Until you retire.

Until summer..

Until spring.

Until winter.

Until fall.

Until you die.

There is no better time than right now to be happy. Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

So

work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt, and, dance like no one's watching.

Here's one nice story...

Dua Pilihan

> Pada sebuah jamuan makan malam pengadaan dana untuk sekolah

anak-anak

cacat, ayah dari salah satu anak yang bersekolah disana menghantarkan satu

pidato yang tidak mungkin dilupakan oleh mereka yang menghadiri acara itu.

Setelah mengucapkan salam pembukaan, ayah tersebut mengangkat satu topik:

>

> 'Ketika tidak mengalami gangguan dari sebab-sebab eksternal, segala proses

yang terjadi dalam alam ini berjalan secara sempurna/ alami. Namun tidak

demikian halnya dengan anakku, Shay. Dia tidak dapat mempelajari

hal-hal

sebagaimana layaknya anak-anak yang lain. Nah, bagaimanakah proses alami ini

berlangsung dalam diri anakku? '

> Para peserta terdiam menghadapi pertanyaan itu.

> Ayah tersebut melanjutkan: "Saya percaya bahwa, untuk seorang anak seperti

Shay, yang mana dia mengalami gangguan mental dan fisik sedari lahir,

satu-satunya kesempatan untuk dia mengenali alam ini berasal dari bagaimana

orang-orang sekitarnya memperlakukan dia"

> Kemudian ayah tersebut menceritakan kisah berikut:

> Shay dan aku sedang berjalan-jalan di sebuah taman ketika beberapa orang

anak sedang bermain baseball. Shay bertanya padaku,"Apakah kau pikir mereka

akan membiarkanku ikut

bermain?" Aku tahu bahwa kebanyakan anak-anak itu

tidak akan membiarkan orang-orang seperti Shay ikut dalam tim mereka, namun

aku juga tahu bahwa bila saja Shay mendapat kesempatan untuk bermain dalam

tim itu, hal itu akan memberinya semacam perasaan dibutuhkan dan kepercayaan

untuk diterima oleh orang-orang lain, diluar kondisi fisiknya yang cacat.

> Aku mendekati salah satu anak laki-laki itu dan bertanya apakah Shay dapat

ikut dalam tim mereka, dengan tidak berharap banyak. Anak itu melihat

sekelilingnya dan berkata, "kami telah kalah 6 putaran dan sekaran sudah

babak kedelapan. Aku rasa dia dapat ikut dalam tim kami dan kami akan

mencoba untuk memasukkan dia bertanding pada babak kesembilan nanti'

> Shay berjuang untuk mendekat ke dalam tim itu dan mengenakan seragam tim

dengan senyum lebar, dan aku menahan air mata di mataku dan kehangatan dalam

hatiku. Anak-anak tim tersebut melihat kebahagiaan seorang ayah yang gembira

karena anaknya diterima bermain dalam satu tim.

> Pada akhir putaran kedelapan, tim Shay mencetak beberapa skor, namun masih

ketinggalan angka. Pada putaran kesembilan, Shay mengenakan sarungnya dan

bermain di sayap kanan. Walaupun tidak ada bola yang mengarah padanya, dia

sangat antusias hanya karena turut serta dalam permainan tersebut dan berada

dalam lapangan itu. Seringai lebar terpampang di wajahnya ketika aku

melambai padanya dari kerumunan. Pada akhir putaran kesembilan, tim Shay

mencetak beberapa skor lagi. Dan dengan dua angka out, kemungkinan untuk

mencetak kemenangan ada di depan mata dan Shay yang terjadwal untuk menjadi

pemukul berikutnya.

> Pada kondisi yg spt ini, apakah mungkin mereka akan mengabaikan kesempatan

untuk menang dengan membiarkan Shay menjadi kunci kemenangan mereka?

> Yang mengejutkan adalah mereka

memberikan kesempatan itu pada Shay.

> Semua yang hadir tahu bahwa satu pukulan adalah mustahil karena Shay

bahkan tidak tahu bagaimana caranya memegang pemukul dengan benar, apalagi

berhubungan dengan bola itu.

> Yang terjadi adalah, ketika Shay melangkah maju kedalam arena, sang

pitcher, sadar bagaimana tim Shay telah mengesampingkan kemungkinan menang

mereka untuk satu momen penting dalam hidup Shay, mengambil beberapa langkah

maju ke depan dan melempar bola itu perlahan sehingga Shay paling tidak bisa

mengadakan kontak dengan bola itu. Lemparan pertama meleset; Shay mengayun

tongkatnya dengan ceroboh dan luput. Pitcher tsb kembali mengambil beberapa

langkah kedepan, dan melempar bola itu perlahan kearah Shay. Ketika bola itu

datang, Shay mengayun kearah bola itu dan mengenai bola itu dengan satu

pukulan perlahan kembali kearah pitcher.

> Permainan seharusnya berakhir saat itu juga, pitcher tsb bisa saja dengan

mudah melempar bola ke baseman pertama, Shay akan keluar, dan permainan akan

berakhir.

> Sebaliknya, pitcher tsb melempar bola melewati baseman pertama, jauh dari

jangkauan semua anggota tim. Penonton bersorak dan kedua tim mulai

berteriak, "Shay, lari ke base satu! Lari ke base satu!". Tidak pernah dalam

hidup Shay

sebelumnya ia berlari sejauh itu, tapi dia berhasil melaju ke

base pertama. Shay tertegun dan membelalakkan matanya.

> Semua orang berteriak, "Lari ke base dua, lari ke base

dua!"

> Sambil menahan napasnya, Shay berlari dengan canggung ke base dua. Ia

terlihat bersinar-sinar dan bersemangat dalam perjuangannya menuju

base dua.

Pada saat Shay menuju base dua, seorang pemain sayap kanan memegang bola itu

di tangannya. Pemain itu merupakan anak terkecil dalam timnya,

dan dia saat

itu mempunyai kesempatan menjadi pahlawan kemenangan tim untuk pertama kali

dalam hidupnya. Dia dapat dengan mudah melempar bola itu ke

penjaga base

dua. Namun pemain ini memahami maksud baik dari sang pitcher, sehingga

diapun dengan tujuan yang sama melempar bola itu tinggi ke atas

jauh

melewati jangkauan penjaga base ketiga. Shay berlari menuju base ketiga.

> Semua yang hadir berteriak, "Shay, Shay, Shay, teruskan

perjuanganmu Shay"

> Shay mencapai base ketiga saat seorang pemain lawan berlari ke arahnya dan

memberitahu Shay arah selanjutnya yang mesti ditempuh. Pada saat Shay

menyelesaikan base ketiga, para pemain dari kedua tim dan para penonton yang

berdiri mulai berteriak, "Shay, larilah

ke home, lari ke home!". Shay

berlari ke home, menginjak balok yg ada, dan dielu-elukan bak seorang hero

yang memenangkan grand slam. Dia telah memenangkan game untuk timnya.

> Hari itu, kenang ayah tersebut dengan air mata yang berlinangan di

wajahnya, para pemain dari kedua tim telah menghadirkan sebuah cinta yang

tulus dan nilai kemanusiaan kedalam dunia.

> Shay tidak dapat bertahan hingga musim panas berikut dan meninggal musim

dingin itu. Sepanjang sisa hidupnya dia tidak pernah melupakan momen dimana

dia telah menjadi seorang hero, bagaimana dia telah membuat ayahnya bahagia,

dan bagaimana dia telah membuat ibunya menitikkan air mata bahagia akan sang

pahlawan kecilnya.

> Seorang bijak pernah berkata, sebuah masyarakat akan dinilai dari cara

mereka memperlakukan seorang

yang paling tidak beruntung diantara mereka.

> Catatan kaki:

> Kita sering mengirim ribuan jokes lewat email tnp pikir panjang, namun

bila kita harus mengirimkan mail tentang pilihan dalam hidup, kita

seringkali ragu. Kejadian-kejadian vulgar, kasar dan mengerikan acap terjadi

dalam hidup ini,namun pembicaraan tentangnya seolah tertelan waktu, baik itu

di lingkungan pendidikan atau kerja.

> Jika Anda berpikir untuk forward email ini, kemungkinannya Anda akan

memilih daftar orang-orang dari email address Anda yang Anda pikir layak

untuk menerima email Anda. Ingatlah, bahwa orang yang mengirimi Anda email

ini berpikir bahwa kita semua dapat membuat perbedaan.

> Kita semua mempunyai banyak pilihan dalam hidup setiap harinya untuk dapat

memahami "kejadian alami dalam hidup". Begitu banyak hubungan antar 2

manusia yang kelihatan remeh, sebenarnya telah meninggalkan 2 pilihan bagi

kita:

> Apakah kita telah meninggalkan cinta dan kemanusiaan atau, Apakah kita

telah melewatkan kesempatan untuk

berbagi kasih dengan mereka yang kurang

beruntung, yang menyebabkan hidup ini menjadi dingin?

merry christmas and happy new year :)

Just a little thought from me in a happy, quite n peaceful Christmas day, I got a fortune cookies few days ago which stated "happiness comes from inside/ your heart is a place to draw true happiness". Few days ago, I just could not understand on how I could be happy if I m alone and with no friends around and how could I be happy/ draw happiness from my heart if no one is around me? However, after a while, I think the fortune cookie is right when i got it as I think it is depended on myself whether I would like to be happy or not. Well, i could be in a group of people but if my heart is not happy, there is no point be in the group. I am also not stating that alone is better than in a group, or don't socialize, but sometimes alone is better as we can do lots of thinking and be ourselves back. Other than that, sometimes, when we are alone, we feel lonely, but must not forget that out there, there are a lot of people who care about us even though they are not around us. ;)
Another time, i did get a fortune cookie which stated " would u rather be happy or right"? very strange, but it seems to relate to each other. Well, we are not able to confirm whether a matter is right or wrong till we confront/evidence to prove that the matter is right, so instead of having a lot of thinking whether the matter is right/ true, it is better not to think about it, focus on ourselves and think of ourselves. It may sound a bit selfish but I think that is one of my xmas solution to every of my problems ;0

baby

I have just finished watching a TV show called 'help me love my baby' in Channel 4 about a mom and her beautiful n cute baby daughter who do not have bound towards each other. After the baby was born prematurely, the mother thought that she have a monster as the mother thinks herself as a monster herself. What did the baby do was avoiding eye contact/ not even look at her mother. This things happen because when the mother was a child , she had no close relationship/ not a good relationship with her own mother. Her own mother was an alcoholic who used to beaten the 'mother' up n stuffs.
It is so unbelievable that such a tiny baby can be so responsive and I think it is even much more responsive compare to an adult. These babies may not be able to talk and they may cry all the times and in fact crying is one of the ways for them to communicate to their parents. They learn things through their senses thus probably they can be very sensitive sometimes. They are able to sense on whether they are being care or being ignored and as a result of it, they response back to the behaviour and how they are being treated from adults. Babies may be difficult to be taken care off as they have lots of special needs and attention compare to adults and also because they are fragile and vulnerable. However, having them in our lives, might be greatest things that we can have so far, thus I could understand on why some certain parents are very protective towards their children even thought according to law, the children are considered as adults. Some of these children may turn into mummy's boys or girls but no one to blame on it as the parents are just too worried about their children. What can the children do is to act maturely n independently and prove to the parents that they can take care of themselves but it may be difficult to do so as parents always have thinking that their children are still children. :)

OK, well its me again, sitting in front of my computer, accompanied by my books n TV. Instead of preparing for civil litigation, I m staring at this web thinking of what to write. I believe, I used to write alot about my thought and everything but seems that these days, I have no idea on wht I should write ( valuable article) on my blog. Perhaps it is because of amounts of alcohols that I have or perhaps it is not related to the alcohols at all , just that my brain has given up of me.....sigh.......

Well, referring to provious article, I think my prob has been settled but its just that I dont knw whetehr i will be able to trust a person 100% as I used to be.........( to be continued...) :)

"BESTFRIEND"??!!

Lots of people tell me that I am their best friend bla bla bla, but how can you be so sure that a person is your best friend or not? as in order to be best friends, I think we must know each other well enough to claim that words n I will not classify a person as my best friend just because I have just known her/him for about a year, it is a lifelong process to reach that stage.

A best friend is someone who you can trust in telling everything without fear of being betrayed and who is always be and support you in a matter that you would like to achieve; not someone who back stabbing and betrayed you from behind. If the thing that i fear the most these days is really gonna happened between me n my 'best friend', I do not think that I will be able to talk to her as i used to, in fact I will just act that she never existed in my life at all, I rather to have normal friend rather than this type of 'best friend' who back stabbing me from behind!!! n Dont ever think that you will be able to see me again!!!

A best friend is not someone who secretly hide everything from you and even when you approach her, she will pretend not to be interested in the thing but in fact she is i.e. from the way she always talks about it , body language, etc. I dont like it when she does taht, i prefer her to be honest to me and she is not the friend that I used to know before.

PS: whoever read this, must have known who I referred to and you must be conscious about what I m referring to and I really meant on wht I said above!!!

cinta harus memiliki

sorry guys for those who do not understand indo or malay language. I got this article from http://www.kafegaul.com and after i read it, i think this article is very encouraging for me and perhaps for others as well so enjoy.....

'Ada seorang teman, berkata dengan nada agak keras, “Cinta itu harus memiliki. hanya orang bodoh, tidak percaya diri ,yang mengatakan cinta tidak harus memiliki,”. Saya terkejut, memandang dia lekat. Namun dimatanya saya melihat keteguhan, Sebuah ucapan yang berlatar pada pengalaman pribadinya.

Kemudian teman saya itu menambahkan,” Ada seorang lelaki yang menunggu perempuannya datang dan masuk kelas. Begitu saja dia sudah puas. Dan itu terus berlangsung, pria itu tidak cukup percaya diri untuk melakukan sesuatu,”. Saya hampir meneteskan airmata. Ada banyak roman picisan macam begitu.

Dia berkata begitu bukan karena emosi. Tidak ada niatan pula mencecar pihak yang beranggapan ‘cinta tak harus memiliki’. Dia menginspirasi saya dan banyak orang untuk memiliki cintanya. “Lakukan sesuatu untuk cinta lo. Dan kalaupun dia menolak lo, pastikan dia akan menyesal karena kehilangan cinta sebesar milik lo,” ucapnya dengan mantap. Lelaki itu sudah bertumbuh, kini dia memiliki kepercayaan diri.

Pada hakikatnya cinta datang dalam kondisi yang tidak direncanakan. Namun bersyukurlah apabila kita masih punya rasa cinta. Kata teman saya itu, dia menyesal tidak berjuang untuk cintanya. Semuanya pun menguap bak embun pagi disiang hari. Lewat bahasa, tatapan matanya yang penuh arti, dia hendak berbagi inspirasi itu.

“Bilang, jangan disimpan sendiri. Dia tidak akan tahu. Atau sebenarnya dia menunggu kamu bilang begitu,” katanya, tergetar. Teman saya itu pun tersenyum, menerawang, “Ya, dia menunggu. Dan ketika kami menyadarinya, semua tidak berada dalam waktu yang tepat,” .

Dia tidak ingin menyesal, walau rasa itu berkecamuk dalam dirinya. Sekali lagi dia berkata pada saya,”Kalau kamu mencintai seseorang, katakan,”. Lakukan sesuatu, jangan hanya berdiam diri melihat orang yang kamu cintai bertumbuh tanpa kehadiranmu. Jika pun tidak berjodoh, at least kamu sudah memperjuangkan cinta itu.

Semoga teman saya, dan tulisan ini menginspirasi Anda. Sebab cinta mungkin berbahasa dengan caranya, namun biarkan mulut Anda menyenandungkan kata cinta yang manis ditelinganya. Hingga genaplah bahasa cinta dan bahasa manusia itu.'
