One of the thing about spring, it’s the season of change. It’s the time that the ice melts. Perhaps, for every flower, it’s quite a burden to wait for the ice melts. But when the time comes it will blooms entirely.

A piece of High School
27 December 2003
Translated into Bahasa. Actually it was in Bahasa.
Nunggu Aa ngerjain soal san2:
San2: Yee … siapa yang minta dibeliin rumah?! Pengen liat adenya ‘rief dech. Tampak lucu. (Bawa2)
[By the way I like to call him ‘rief better than Arief or Planta. And I called Ujang as Aa]
‘rief: Ya kali aja minta. Tapi kalo ngasih gak ditolak koq ^_^ Adikku lucu kok apalagi kakaknya ^o^
[He likes to insert that ^_^ things]
San2: Kok narsis sich?! Tapi kalau di s’pandal-bakiak kingdom, rief emang harus ngasih san2 rumah. (Whoaaa … sekarang rief ikut turun tangan). Diajak maen game, dah pernah mabal blon?!
[I forgot what kind of game was it actually? Ragnarok? Card? Or … battle card? I forgot what was that card called. Card that has power, attack, defend, or I didn’t understand that until now. And actually … where was that s’pandal-bakiak kingdom family tree? Such embarrassed if I remind it today. What a silly creative things.]
‘rief: Belum tuh mabal mah, kalo maen game bareng pernah. Iihh … ngiri tulisan san2 bagus. Eh .. eh .. tampak Dian lagi suka jail sama Ujang. Dan Ujang pun tampak beuki error by the time goes by.
San2: Adeuh2 aja mereka mah. Kan Aa dan dan kakak ipar emang siga kitu. Aa jadi error, Dian ngamuk2. Atau Dian jail, Aa bilang ”Dian mau dibasmi?”
Pantesan Dani jadi pendiem karena ortunya mendominasi rumah. Huks … besok gak bisa maen sepeda ma Mia ni … Kenapa ya? Eh, sejak kapan mentor ma Sandi?! Ngapain aja?!
’rief: (ketawa) (ketawa sambil beres2 kertas + tas)
[I forgot what caused him laugh. Was it a game or Dian-Aa]
Well, there was just a little piece in one day, with my friends, Rief, Dian, Ujang, Dani [where was Zikril actually?] One time at High School. That documented on Bukom. How it very nice to read it again. Did it really happen? What was writing down in Bukom? Seriously … I forgot. But today I remember there were us. Once upon a time of us.
You’ve Got a Friend
When you’re down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there
You’ve got a friend
If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you’ll hear me knocking at your door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running to see you
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there
Ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a friend
When people can be so cold
They’ll hurt you, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don’t you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there
You’ve got a friend
Slice of High School … [2001-2004]
“This was a story from a legend. A legend from the ancient Greece when Gods living with people. A time when a war and a tiran [tyrant – red] is an occasion. The people cried from someone to help them. There’s a man who answer them. He is strong. He is magnificent. He is ….”
Anybody who remember this? I took it from our ‘bukom’. Our High School Bukom – 14 October 2003. Love it as Hercules theme! [It was Hercules, Vi!]. I want to publish it actually … Hahaha. Ok, back to the main topic …
Just an hour after we, Vi and I, discussed about my best friend that will go to Abu Dhabi for Schlumberger “duty”. For his first job. First. As usual, he always becomes the mature and grows up first. Just like autumn.
Our best friend. I even called him as my brother and more than best friend. Who always teaches me to get up, to be optimistic, to be proud of myself, to be stronger, to be … better.
“See … told ya! Sad is normal, but fell in the sadness too much is not good. Congrat for you. Hope to see you better.”
He said that one, when I really pessimistic that I would not pass my SPMB. Just because there was 10% success percentage that I could pass to. Gosh … it was one of the down day … week … in my life. But with you and also you all, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. It was just … one of the day. Just day. Not down day.
And I become stronger to be walked with together with you all. And especially … today … I would like to say thank you for everything we had, have, and will have together …
We always wish you the best, Arief Plantalukmana, a part of our life. A part of my life.
“It’s my pleasure if that I can help you with any problems or thinking you have,” as what you said to me in Bukom [One day on Des 2003]. So did us. So do us. Until unlimited time. You also have us.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall [autumn- red]
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there
[coz] You’ve got a friend …
It is us. Us.
Yatta! See you, October!
Yatta!
Alhamdulillah! (That is better to say, San!)
Well, whatever, overall, my deadline already finished! Just a moment ago. When I have submitted the ICMNS’s paper to ICMNS. So, completely my applications and every deadline in the end of October have just finished. And I will definitely celebrate for my self. Like what my friend said [Nonceu, omoimasu ka?] Self indulgent. I want to try to celebrate for my self with my best friend [Vi, Vi are actually come to Sanwa's house at the right time!].
Well, as the last priority [hehehe, grinned] I am so satisfied that I have finished it. Even as the last deadline. And hopefully, for every single things that I have done, there will be the best result. For paper as my first international journal, internship as my first abroad, and scholarship for my first school journey abroad. God, I just can pray and hand all of this over You. Ya Rabb …
Then in the end, I want to thankful to Allah, to my sister, and all of my friends that have supported me in the deadline week. God, thank you for giving me such a great time like this.
