Seolah alam pun mengiyakan, angin membawa pergi kenanganmu, kenanganku. Kenangan kita.

getting out from my comfort zone

so I just figured out that this week..I just got out from my comfort zone!

Instead of being home, in front of my laptop, singing around (this won't guarantee my voice is as good as tay), sleeping (cause my eyes are always teary), looking for books to read (but ended up reading the same book over and over again), and overall just being an unproductive girl, yesterday I went into a journey where I found my non-comfort zone.

Yes, it's Friday and we're supposed to be on holiday, but there's an important assignments so I had to go to school. I woke up feeling super tired (bcs I came home late at night) and super dizzy, I put on my usual clothes (I didn't think of what I wear tbh) (because you know my score on fashion. yup. ze-ro.) and went off around 6 am. did I tell you that I went off with 40% battery on my iPhone? no? okay I just did. notice it because it's important.

I got (kinda) bored at school waiting for my friends to come, so I (stupidly) decided to use my iPhone for browsing, twittering, chatting, aaand other internet stuffs that made the battery fully drown. & when I was about to go home, my iPhone's battery was 10%. (I know, I blame myself for that). and all of the sudden.....surprisingly...my friends were talking about the-most-happening-movie-this-week, The Conjuring, and like "hey why don't we go watch it now?"

at first, I was like, "oh yea! why not! i really gonna enjoy the movie (because I was wondering about that too) and then I was craving for a tour around this area (since I've only been here for about 2 weeks)" but then I stare at my phone and like.. "oh.my.god.i'm.so.dead. how can i survive.." well but then I thought if I go home now, I'll be like the girl I describe at the top. 

and then I called my mom and I decided to go.

the journey began! from school, we ride bajaj. it was my first time travelling by bajaj (ohhkay even tho it's not my first time, i've never travelled by bajaj for a loooong time then). we went to Kota Kasablanka. the driver was cool. he drove his bajaj against the route. so we didn't have to waste our time on turning on the U-turn.
it wasn't so far, from school to Kota Kasablanka. but it was the traffic that waste the time. it took almost half an hour.
we finally arrived! yey! i payed him, the bajaj driver, and then we walked into the entrance.
it was about 10am. the shops aren't open AND we're fasting too. fortunately, Keke, one of my friend, is having her period. so she bought a drink so we can sit for a while.

After talking & chattering & taking pictures (it's a must), we finally went to the cinema and bought tickets. The movie starts at 12:30 pm so we looked around the shop around the cinema.

I walked into a store, and then there was "I knew you were trouble when you walked in~" playing on the radio. I stopped and I was like... "Ooookay...what did I do?" 

Nevermind that little interruption.

So I finally bought a pencilcase, and an earphone plug. It was super cute! I ended up buying the one with little camera instead of guitar. But the thing is... I lost it already. Huuu. Boo me :"(

Oh! And we met a few friends of our school when we came back to the cinema. We watched the same movie. 

I got sitted in the back row, A11.

Strange how it reminds me of...

NEVERMIND.

The movie was double triple wizzle creeewwwpy and I screamed a little. But I got my hands cover my mouth and my eyes all the time so my screaming was not as loud as you imagine.

Well it started kinda cliché, with new house, new rooms, and stuffs. You know....sooo many horror/thriller movies start with that setting. The 2 main role was also similar to the previous directed movie, Insidious. So it was never a surprise for me to know the end of the story. Classical. The experts can handle it tho they was overwhelmed at the first time. Then the house was either safe or still haunted (but the family moved). The ending was not really impressive also. So I think this movie is average, based on the role and the line. But I should raise my two thumbs for the sound effect & the part that made me scream.

Okay. So this is the part when we go home.

We left Kota Kasablanka at 3pm and took a bajaj (again) to the busway stop. Wait...busway stop? Yea whatever that thing called.

Since it's my first time taking busway...(or transjakarta) I don't really know about the route and the procedure. At first it was buying ticket (it's only Rp 3.500) and then we waited for the transjakarta to arrive. I've waited so long and finally I GOT INTO THE BUS!! It was really nice and yes, I can tell that Jakarta already had a proper transportation. What I hate so much is the waiting part. And after taking 2 buses, it was almost 5pm and the traffic was really bad sooo we decided to bought a drink (in case we have to break our fast on our way home) and took a taxi. 

So that day I went into my first time experience of taking bajaj and transjakarta.

I was exhausted when I got home and my mom never stopped asking me (because I told her before I won't be home late). But it was all payed off. I had the best time of my life as a citizen (finally I felt like one). And I realize that I just went out from my comfort zone. :)

That's it for this post. See ya!

Refrain

You're the song that won't stop playing
You're the part that keeps repeating
Sing it all over again
Like a refrain,

You're my refrain.

Pernahkah?

Pernah kamu membayangkan suatu hal yang mungkin terjadi, tapi mencoba menolak kenyataan dan berpikir kalau itu tidak mungkin terjadi?
Atau pernah kamu membayangkan suatu hal yang padahal tidak mungkin terjadi, tapi mencoba menolak kenyataan dan berpikir kalau itu mungkin terjadi?
Dan pada akhirnya, ketika semua telah tidak sesuai dengan yang kamu harapkan, ketika semua tidak bisa diubah, hati kecilmu hanya bisa berkata,
Ya sudahlah.

Will someone care to classify

A broken heart and twisted minds?

Sabtu, 1 Juni 2013.
Tanggal yang cukup penting dalam hidupku, tanggal yang menjadi penantianku selama ini, tapi juga merupakan tanggal yang tidak kutunggu-tunggu. (loh jadi gimana?) Intinya tanggal ini mau tidak mau, suka tidak suka, akhirnya datang juga.
Kenapa tanggal itu penting?
Karena itu tanggal pengumuman kelulusan.
Hft.

Pada awalnya kami semua sibuk dengan AFF yang juga diselenggarakan di hari yang sama. Tepat jam 10, aku dan Shifa dipanggil ke atas panggung untuk menjadi MC. Kami sejak awal sudah menampakkan muka harap harap cemas karena Pak Joko, wali kelas kami, daritadi bersikap aneh jika ditanyakan mengenai kelulusan.
Akhirnya beliau naik panggung dan mengumumkan sesuatu.
"Kelas 9 SMP Al-Falah 100% LULUS!"
Begitu yang aku dengar.
Aku dan Shifa langsung berpegangan tangan, lalu turun menemui teman-teman kami.
Akhirnya, batinku. Ini dia yang aku tunggu-tunggu. Air mata bahagia yang keluar dari ujung-ujung mata kami, tatapan bangga dari semua guru kami, pelukan hangat dari semua teman-teman perempuan.
Kami dapat lulus dengan nilai yang sangat memuaskan, sangat membanggakan, dan sangat tidak diduga-duga.
Alhamdulillahirabbilalamiiin.
Ya Allah, terimakasih atas semua nikmat yang telah Engkau beri selama ini. Nikmat hidup dan nikmat sehat selalu Engkau curahkan di setiap langkahku.
Terimakasih untuk selalu mengingatkanku untuk bersyukur di setiap waktuku. Terimakasih untuk selalu memberiku kesempatan di setiap hariku.
Sesungguhnya tidak ada yang berhak menentukan nasibku melainkan Engkau.

Akhirnya, satu anak tangga terlampaui sudah. Masa SMP-ku akan segera berakhir. Dan aku akan segera memegang status sebagai murid SMA. Semoga nikmatmu akan selalu tercurah pada langkahku yang selanjutnya. Terimakasih untuk semuanya, Ya Allah.
:')

A lightful conversation.

"Gak ngerti lg ah kak. Semuanya abu-abu." 

"Justru karena abu-abu itu La, kamu harus clear-in semuanya jadi putih."

About The Song

Hey readers!
So, recently I was listening to "The Pieces Don't Fit Anymore" by James Morrison. I actually knew this song from a blogwalking into Kak Pita's blog. I found so many songs there. Thanks Kak! Tho' I don't really know you personally but I always read your updates. So I'm already a big fan :)
About the song, it's really really great and addicting. The lyrics are wonderful, the whole song is really peaceful and sad. Recommended for a broken-hearted person.
I feel really comfortable with this song, so I add it into my 'Writing' playlist because it boost my mood up while I'm writing.
Okay, so I'm coming up with another lyrics post! :D
