Sahabat

Sahabat
by Emmanuel Jefferson

Apa sih sahabat itu?
Banyak sekali yang mencoba mendefinisikan kata sahabat
Semakin banyak kubaca, semakin bingung
Tampaknya menjadi atau mencari sahabat itu susah

Apakah memang susah?
Sahabat tampaknya menjadi barang langka
Bagiku hal ini tidaklah berlaku
Patutlah ku bersyukur mempunyai banyak sahabat

Sahabat = Teman yang selalu ada disaat kita sedih / duka
Bukankah sama saja kita egois
Sahabat = Teman yang selalu mendukung kita
Bukankah sama saja kita egois

Bagiku sederhana, sahabat adalah teman yang dapat membuatku jujur apa adanya
Tak haruslah dia ada di dekat atau setuju denganku
Tapi dia akan selalu membantuku menjadi manusia yang lebih baik
Apakah susah untuk mencari atau menjadi orang yang seperti ini?

Terima kasih ingin kuucapkan untuk semua sahabatku
Tanpa kehadiran kalian, aku tak akan menjadi diriku yang sekarang ini
Entah sekarang kalian berada dimana
Semoga aku pun dapat menjadi sahabat bagi kalian

Dorm vs Apartment

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

Hi Friends,

So as you know later this Fall, I will transferring to university. I have a choice either to stay at dorm or apartment. Well my sisters and friends suggest me to stay at dorm since this will be my first year in university and also a good chance to practice my English, which is sucks as you can see in my grammar.

If you stay at dorm, you will meet a lot of new friends *not indonesian anymore*. I can practice my communication skills and also close to school. But the negative things are I do not have much privacy and of course I have to adjust myself to live with non-indo people. Well actually now I live with Hong Kong and Japanese people but I think the situation in dorm is different. About food *nah* I do not care, I am pretty bless that I can eat whatever from american, asian, mexican, etc and from good quality until abang-abang quality.

If I stay at aparment, I will have much more privacy and most likely I will live with Indonesian students too. The negative things are I can not practice my English often *since I will always talk Indonesian* and I have to pay for electricity, gas, water, etc. Besides it is kind of hard to find apartment and find a good roommate. Also it will be pretty far from the dorm and it will hard to go out especially in winter.

So friends, what do you suggest for me? or maybe do you have any experience to live at both places. I know some of you guys only read this post without giving any comment, well I hope you can help which one I have to choose.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

Tim Cewek vs Tim Cowok

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

Tim Cewek: Kenapa sih Cowok tuh gak peka banget ama perasaan cewek? Masa segala sesuatunya harus di bilang sih, kan malu sadar sendiri kek klo ceweknya lagi butuh sesuatu, misalnya lagi minta di anterin pergi ke mall, atau lagi butuh temen ngobrol.
Tim Cowok: Ya, apa susahnya sih bilang langsung, speak direct aja kita kadang ga ngerti apa maunya cewek klo ga bilang. Masa sih kita harus nebak-nebak. Ntar klo tebakannya salah diomelin lagi.

Tim Cewek: Cowok tuh klo PDKT ma cewe jangan lama-lama, ntar ceweknya keburu illfill lho, klo ada suka. Apa salahnya sih langsung bilang, emang ga mo gambling apa?? Paling juga di tolak..
(Reaksi Spontan cowok: Gak enak tauk di tolak).
Tapi emang ada baiknya jangan lama-lama klo lg PDKT, sebulan aja uda lama lho soalnya kan tiap hari deket terus.
Tim Cowok: Sebenarnya bukan takut di tolak sih, Cuma mau kepastian aja.. jadi sebelum nembak, klo bisa tau hasil akhirnya dulu, mo di tolak kek mo di terima kek yang penting tau hasil akhirnya aja.
Tim Cewek: Emang klo tau hasilnya bakal di tolak kalian bakal nembak juga?
Tim Cowok: Hehehehe, Nggak.
Tim Cewek: Klo misalnya nembak cewek, bikin eventnya berkesan n special gitu, klo bisa jangan keliatan kaya mo nembak, jadi kita-kita gak gelisah. Mo hasilnya diterima apa ditolak kek, yang penting eventnya special. Pasti teringat terus deh ^___^ (Sambil senyum kompak).
Tim Cowok: Eh??? Iya ya??
Tim Cewek: Iya dong (langsung ngasih beberapa contoh event special).

Tim Cowok: Cewek tuh klo lagi ada masalah, truss ditanyain "Kamu baik2 aja kan? Lu gak papa kan?" selalu bilang (dipotong tim cewek: "Gak papa kok")
Tim Cowok Cewek: (Tertawa bareng)
Tim Cewek: Mestinya rayu lagi dong masa Cuma sekali tanya doang sih truss abis kita bilang ga papa, kalian langsung bilang "Ya udah" trus pergi gitu? Gimana sih ga niat nanyanya
Tim Cowok: Yeeeee.. kan kita uda nanyain baik2 klo ada masalah ya bilang dong to the point Ya terkadang kita nanya2 lagi kok. Tapi klo jawabannya tetep aja "gak papa kok / ga ada apa-apa kok" biasanya kami diamkan dulu beberapa saat,
tunggu kalian mau cerita kenapa, kasih kalian mikir gitu lho.

Tim Cewek: Gimana pendapat kalian tentang cewek yang nembak cowok duluan?
Tim Cowok: Hm relatif ya?? Klo emang kami suka ya bagus dong gak perlu usaha berat2, tapi klo kami gak suka, kami akan makin ga suka sama cewek yang kaya gitu. Secara umum sih, lebih baik kami yang berusaha, jadi ada perjuangannya gitu lho..
Tim Cewek: Ooooooooo

Tim Cowok: Kami gak suka, klo kami buat kesalahan di masa lalu, truss di ungkit-ungkit lagi di ke depannya. Kami juga tau kok kami salah, gak perlu di ingatin terus
Tim Cewek: Hm (Ada yang sependapat, dan kasih testimonial tentang hubungannya yang berjalan semakin baik dengan pengertian ini).

Tim Cowok: Gimana reaksi kalian klo ada cowok yang nembak kalian, truss kalian ga suka?
Tim Cewek: Secara umum sih kami bakal buat dinding terselubung.
Tim Cowok: Iya, kami tau diri kok setelah dindingnya terpasang, kami pergi kok cari yang lain ^__^
Tim Cewek: Klo sebaliknya gimana?
Tim Cowok: Hehehehe sama aja kali ya
Tim Cewek: Emang ga bisa ya klo uda ditolak gitu temenan?
Tim Cowok: Bisa-bisa aja sih Cuma klo ada tembok gitu kan beda lah

Tim Cewek: Dasar cowok itu, klo lagi PDKT aja manis2 klo uda di tolak / putus aja langsung deh berubah.
Tim Cowok: Lha iya lah klo lagi PDKT kan kami perlakukan cewek yang kami suka istimewa masa kami perlakukan sama seperti temen biasa. Lah klo di tolak atau putus kan statusnya jadi teman ya tentu saja kami perlakukan cewek tersebut sebagai teman aja, dengan perhatian yang juga sebagai teman. So Wajar dong?
Tim Cewek: Hm iya juga sih ya hihihi

Tim Cewek: Klo lagi PDKT ma cewek, serius dong jangan sehari SMS, sehari gak sehari telp.. sehari gak tunjukkan dong niat serius mu
Tim Cowok: Oooooooooo pantesan. (pengalaman ceweknya ilfill gara2 gak rajin)

Tim Cewek: Klo misalnya cowok suka ma cewek, truss kirim-kirimin puisi, atau apa yang berbau cinta-cintaan, truss di bales dengan puisi yang lucu-lucu itu artinya ceweknya ga ada feeling ma cowoknya, tapi klo di balas dengan "g gak ngerti apaan sih isinya", itu artinya sedang memancing kalian untuk nembak langsung.
Tim Cowok: OOOOoooooooooo gitu ya (Mendengarkan dengan serius)
Tim Cewek: Iyaaaa (dengan kompak, truss sambil sharring beberapa contoh yang mancing dan yang gak suka).

GILA YAH KOMPLEKS BGT CEWE… mending gue disuru belajar Perancis deh daripada ngertiin cewe… tapi penting sih.. apa boleh buat :D

Hahaha actually I already receive this e-mail last friday, but I just want to make sure that this information is correct. Because I still kind of confuse because I am accepted as a first year engineering. After several times e-mail with Purdue counselor, it is correct that I am accepted as a first year engineering since I have not take several basic engineering classes which I can not take in De Anza.

So, one positive and five more to go.

HAPPY VALENTINE!!!

Hari ini penuh dengan LOVE, tukang coklat, bunga pun laku. Tak ketinggalan bahkan banyak restoran yang sudah penuh di booking.

Ucapan Happy Valentine pun banyak disampaikan entah lewat sms (text message), e-mail, surat pos, ucapan langsung, dll. Bagiku sih Happy Valentine tidak hanya untuk pacar seorang, tetapi juga untuk teman-temanku terdekat.

Sebenarnya ga banyak yg pengen gua nulis, cuma ingin menyatakan pikiran kalau sebenarnya kita kan ga perlu menunggu sampe hari valentine untuk menyatakan kasih atau cinta kita kepada seseorang yang kita kasihi. Memang baik sekali kalau pada hari valentine ini kita bisa menyatakan kasih kita. Tapi apakah kita harus menunggu 365 hari lagi untuk menyampaikan kasih kita?

Hendaknya kasih memang kita berikan setiap saat kepada teman, sahabat bahkan mungkin orang yang kita tidak sukai. Kita tidak akan tahu kapan kita bisa mengungkapkan kasih kita.

Jadi kesimpulannya, berikanlah segera kasih dari diri kita kepada sesama sebelum terlambat!!!

Happy Valentine

All Of Me

Sunday, February 5th, 2006

Blue = Together
Green = Women
Red = Men

All of me, why not take all of me?
Can’t you see I’m no good without you (no good without you)
You can take my arms (Come on and take my arms) I’ll never use them
Why not take my lips, I wanna lose them

Your goodbyes left me with eyes that cried
How can I go on dear, without you
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me?

All of me (Not just a piece of my heart)
Why not take all of me? (The whole is greater than the sum of the parts)
Oh, Can’t you see (I’m all yours for the askin’)
I’m no good without you (Give me a call when you need romancin’)

Come and take my arms (Oo wee, pretty baby!)
I’ll never us them (You know I don’t mean maybe)
Why don’t cha take my lips (I can hear them smackin’)
I want to lose them (Come on and let it happen)

Your goodbyes (Such a sad farewall)
Left me with eyes that cried (I shouldn’t kiss and tell)
How can I (Please, please don’t cha do it!)
Go on , dear without you? (Can’t you see I’ve got tears by the bucket)

You took the part (I gave you my very best)
That once my heart (But now you said I just can’t pass the test)
So why not take all of me?
All of me

Now your goodbyes, goodbyes left me with eyes that cried
Tell me, how can I go on, dear, without you
My heart’s been broken since
You bruised it, misused it, confused it, abused it
So why not take all of,
I’ll be your baby, take ALL OF ME!

I got this song from Vocal Jazz Ensamble class with Roger Letson as the instructor. Damn!!! I really like this song, especially after last friday we had drum, piano and bass section. Wow!!! I started to feel the groove for this song. It is really a nice song

Need help to send a gift for someone in Indonesia?

Wednesday, February 1st, 2006

Hi Friends,

Last Monday, I just got a cool website www.kakilima.com. In this website, you can send flowers, cakes, gifts, etc for your family, friends, girl/boyfriend in Indonesia. I think this website is helpful especially for Indonesian who live outside Indonesia. Hmm I think I am going to use this website for Valentine’s day. Unfortunately, you must have Indonesian bank account to transfer the money. You can not use American Dollar to pay. You also can not pay by credit card, you must transfer the money. But I think it should be ok for Indonesian that lives in US.

Thanks to Putu for telling me about this website.
