I'm tired...
I'm tired...
Sometime, you walk through life happily
You look at days as summer breeze
At other time, you couldn't bare its challenges
And at night time, you cry
You know deep inside you deserve more
Keep asking to yourself
"What I've done wrong?"
But you don't realise the changes from the past
No no, you forgot that
What goes up will come down
That's the cycle in our lives
Just keep walking and you'll find
The answer you seek
What goes down will come back up
That's the cycle in our lives
And after a while you'll see that
It's just a phase

This cloud of uncertainty is beginning to make me doubtful
Of all the hopes and dreams, of the entire castle we’ve built
They say what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger
What happens then to an unfinished process?
I really have traveled much too far indeed
But all directions have been guided by a strong instinct
Standing strong as a solitary adult in this controlled life,
Could I have been wrong all these time?
I’ve taken my leap of faith,
I’ve put all of my cards on the table right from the very beginning
Wishing that you would do the same
So here I am, standing, breathing, waiting.
JK
I can’t hide,
Can’t lie
I can’t keep you on a stream
That’s going by
I can’t hold
‘cause I’m bold
Can’t take something that’s not mine
That’s what I’m told
See my pain?
It’s on the reign
I’m waiting for it to wash away
Maybe in a Rain
So let’s smile
Just for a while
Our lines have crossed, and I will
Tell our tales in the Nile

Can you be so sure of anything in this life?
.
The season changes continuously, and here in Sydney the constant shifting of the weather is not of unfamiliarity to most residents. We expect snow in summer, and gratefully embraced hot sun in winter. Humans tend to take anything and everything for granted, a trait that is too hard to kill especially with current hi-tech supported living, where things are demanded bigger, better, and quicker.
.
Tragically, when one of the most valuable treasures that was found in this world vanishes, we quickly grew some liking to other nicer, fancier distractions. Whatever happened with treasuring the old, memorable gems? How is it that life can be so shallow?
.
Being a conservative person that I am, one tends to hold on tight to one’s most precious gifts that life has delivered. Yet at times I can’t seem to be able to distinguish the gifts that will endure for a season or a lifetime. Is it wrong to wish that good things are to last in this life? Would it be considered a sin to attempt to preserve a life’s treasure even when it will be on the other’s expense?
.
The wise will know that the only constant thing in this world is change.
.
I think I will walk with my eyes shut and pretend that I am a fool.

Bigger.
Better.
More.
and More. and More. and More ...
.
In a society filled with greed of the insatiable wants, how can one learn the simplicity of just enough?
.
The city is not-so-big, but the minds are all brainwashed with a big-ness so over-valued with constant hammering of walls painted with glimmering promotions that, supposedly, represents what the observators need.
.
Yet with this obvious trickery to subject the so called independent intelligence, how can the developed minds obliged to the weak instructions so blindedly? Is it really that hard to just say "thanks, but no thanks" ?
.
True, the economy keeps the world going and growing. But when the account balances are getting higher and the corner offices are being inhabited, has anyone ever attempted to stop, just be for a while as human beings, and reflect on the growth of our spirituality and morality?
.
How can cruelties and tyrranical forces be justified only with mere numbers on your pocket? Have us humans really not learn from history? Is it possible to repeat the same inhumane acts just because we're oh-so-human?
.
I heard from somewhere that humans are the only species of God's creations that would kill others that belong to the same species. Are we really that demeaning from the animals? Yet how can we still endeavour to call it our animal behaviours?
.
What is acceptable and what is not in this Society?
What's your view on our current society's state, whether it's economically, spiritually or morally?

Pacar, oh pacar...
.
Satu kata yang seringkali mendefinisikan isi kehidupan seseorang. Kalo si A udah ada pacar, keluarganya pasti ngomongin soal pernikahan. Kalo si B masih jomblo, pasti perjodohan selalu dibicarakan dan ditawarkan.. Malah seringkali si single friend diliat dengan sedih hati, seolah dia sedih dengan keberadaannya yang sendiri...
.
Do partner really defines who you are?
.
Selain temen buat curhat, jalan bareng, manja2 in dan di manja2 in, apa sih yang membuat kamu mencari 'pacar'? Also, apa yang kamu bener2 cari dari calon pasangan hidup kamu? What can you tolerate and what can you not?
What do you have to offer?
So much demands, countless contemplations
Wanting so much out of me
Where in fact you can’t give much yourself
Material things, stupid and shallow objectives
I’m not made up of magazines
I have books and dictionaries enough to fill a library
Consolidating and enriching my tiny brains
I’m not sure where you got the idea from
But this life is not all about the superficial
I’m worth more than that, I’m proud to say I’m real
Not waiting to be fed, not wasting time staying around
Can’t you see that there’s more to life?
Unbelieving your artificial state, here I am left in ponder
You waste your time for the unthinkable
Wasting time, wasting dime, wasting life
Why bother existing when you’re not living?
Why bother displaying when you’re not representing?
All of your inappropriateness is making me sick to the stomach
If you can’t use your life, then give it to someone else
JK
Love me
Seduce me
Tease me
Overwhelm me
The way you used to own me
Caress me
Embrace me
Take me to another world
The way you used to fantasise me
I need your love
I need your loving
I want to escape to another world
That I used to go to when I’m lost
Drown me in your land
Don’t escape me when I try
Chain me to your heart
Switch off the starry skies
So that I won’t find my way home
My world is a waste
I tried my best to please her
I jumped, I soared, I crossed many oceans
Like a passing deaf sound she overlooked my attempts
So take me
Hide me
Own me
Own me
My life is mine and now I give it to you
If you would only drown me
What if I can’t be what you want me to be
Am I to blame for being who I meant to be?
What if all your hopes and dreams are lies
Would you finally realize what’s real?
What if time is an illusion of hope
And what’s left are abandonment and failures
Would you learn to rely on yourself this time?
Or would I be to blame for all that’s left
Is it wrong to open your eyes to the reality
And reach for the dreams that are approachable
Is it sinful to destroy your blind faith
And finally reveal what’s inside of me?
Why can’t happiness be genuine
Free from all distractful superficials?
What I feel are real, there’s no made up laughter
Or cries, or smiles, for that matter
Will you accept me for who I am
And not for someone you’d dream of?
Will you open up your arms
And embrace a simple, little, ordinary girl.
JK
