tulisan hampa

Pilpres sudah dekat, boleh dong ya  anak sok tahu ini nulis sedikit pikiran dan perasaannya soal kenegaraan. Sebelumnya, I'd like to give my respect and gratitude untuk pemerintahan BeYe. He's done quite good, salah satu indikatornya adalah keterpilihannya dalam dua periode berturut-turut, people had trust on him. Dari 10 tahun pemerintahan beliau juga ada kok numerous achievements despite some failures where he could have done better (on top of my head; Lapindo dan kasus penyadapan oleh Australia). Selebihnya, well SBY was quite good I shall say. Now the two candidates; Prabowo - Hatta dan Jokowi - JK. Both of them have strength and weakness, and I am personally still confused, or in doubt, but I will make my choice this time. Prabowo. He is an expert in politics and diplomacy I think. Pengalaman dia mostly dari point of view pemerintah dan track record dia di militer (despite the rumours about human rights crimes on 1998) juga menunjukkan ketegasan. Ketegasan. Somethin...

There were these times when life was so hard and giving up seemed to be the only option left. I demanded myself more than just leaning, whining and mourning over senseless things. These times were also the day when acting strong and trying hard just gave me disappointment. I wanted to puke on every wisdom and quotes, desperately thinking that things were never going to be worse. So low. And then you came, with a simple "hello" that made me smile. But turned out you proved me wrong that things are actually becoming worse than ever.

"Abang, itu salju!" mungkin teriakanku tidak terdengar juga oleh subjek tujuanku, ia terlalu sibuk menenggak birnya sambil memandangi panggung yang performa artisnya tidak terlalu dia pahami. Aku masih terpaku pada salju di luar jendela bar lantai dua itu. Tidak terlalu lebat dan terlihat seperti abu jatuh dari langit, hanya saja serpihannya besar. Dalam hitungan detik, aku kembali melihat panggung yang kini artisnya sudah berganti menjadi band idolaku, The Wave Pictures. Lagu pertama mereka adalah My Kiss. Band indie asal Inggris ini memang punya jenis musik yang tidak umum, aku sendiri mulai suka sejak teman baikku di bangku kuliah, Tyo mengenalkanku padanya. Begitu kudengar mereka akan tampil di kota dekat aku studi, aku langsung mengajak karib rantauanku, Abang, untuk menemaniku menonton. Perkaranya mereka akan tampil di sebuah pub kecil di kota kecil dekat kotaku, dan di malam hari pastinya. Aku tidak ingin mengambil resiko nekat pergi sendiri, dan untungnya Abang...

Well, actually I was just a lecturer assistant in this subject; Kapita Selekta Marketing. And this semester project is to make event for museum branding. One of the classes where I am assisting is this class who hold an event for Fine Arts and Ceramics Museum. The first time I met them, they were the enthusiastic ones. I love the atmosphere and the spirit. They started brainstorming, surveying and we arrived at the pre-event on May. I adore their togetherness, their committment and their restless effort. Today I went to their runthrough and we discuss the rundown for the event. I was so excited and they were too. This is them, and I so look forward to seeing the real event next week. for more info: www.artceum.blogspot.com
