like the flowing river

be like the flowing river.
silent in the night.
be not afraid of the dark.
if there are stars in the sky,
reflect them back.
if there are clouds in the sky,
remember, clouds, like the river, are water.
so, gladly reflect them too,
in your own tranquil depths.

Jai, Windi, and I went to Central Park, one of the latest mall in Jakarta, this afternoon. It was the first time I been there.

My first impression: huge, god-y, fancy.

I must admit that it is well-designed. The huge and fancy mall, plus, what makes it special, the park.





It has a very beautiful park.

However, in spite of its beauty, one thing tickled me:

Why do we have to go to mall to enjoy this kind of beautiful and soothing park? Why can't we just have freely, a public-park? Or, aside from Benton Junction, why do we have to go to a mall to sit, relax, and hang out at an open cafe like in downtown walk at SMS? Most importantly, WHY do all we have is mall?!


Opening public parks or open cafes in public areas will make Jakarta a better city, tho.

Anyway by Mother Teresa

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
If you can't get what you want
Then you come with me

Up on melancholy hill
A manatee
Just looking out on the day
When you're close to me

my brother said this yesterday when we were talking about finding-myself and i think it's pretty interesting:

our true self is when we are as pure as a newborn baby. even if we are trying to find ourselves, right now, it is not the truest since we are influenced by our environment and circumstances.



it is the most idealistic point of view, however, it is true.
home home home.. i wish i could stay at home longer..

I AM ADMITTED AT ITENAS!! YAYAYAYAYYY!!! finally i feel like i've graduated!! :P:P


but.. to be honest.. i don't know why.. it's either because my friend had told me before i read the announcement by myself, or because i still can't let ITB go.. i'm not that satisfied..


after all, i don't care as long as i still get the 1st quality of school. prestige does not matter. i believe that this is the best place for me. GOD has bigger plan on me :P



soo... i gotta prepare for the first year, the hardest 2 semesters, for a month at bandung again. i just have to work hard!! :D
