Especially for you
I wanna let you know what I was going through
All the time we were apart I thought of you
You were in my heart
My love never changed
I still feel the same

Especially for you
I wanna tell you I was feeling that way too
And if dreams were wings, you know I would have flown to you
To be where you are, no matter how far
And now that I’m next to you

No more dreaming about tomorrow
Forget the loneliness and the sorrow
I’ve got to say, it’s all because of you

And now we’re back together, together
I wanna show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is Especially for you

Especially for you
I wanna tell you, you mean all the world to me
How I’m certain that our love was meant to be
You changed my life
You showed me the way
And now that I’m next to you

I’ve waited long enough to find you
I wanna put all the hurt behind you
Oh and I wanna bring out all the love inside you,

Oh and now we’re back together, together
I wanna show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is Especially for you

You were in my heart
My love never changed
And now that I’m next to you

No more dreaming about tomorrow
Forget the loneliness and the sorrow
I’ve got to say
It’s all because of you

And now we’re back together, together
I wanna show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is Especially for (you)

together, together
I wanna show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is Especially for you

MYMP – Especially For You

setelah suasana tenang, penyiksaan dimulai kembali. kali ini si Romel yang katanya punya dada besar itu, digulingin di pasir. trus dengan serbuan anak-anak, dada nya diperbesar dengan tumpukan pasir!

—

dan inilah hasilnya! huahahaha…

—

dan kali ini giliran gue. pas udah tinggal beberapa orang, gue yang awalnya lagi pegang kamera buat ngerekam video, tiba-tiba ‘disekap’ sama anak-anak dari belakang. tapi setelah itu, gue sempet lari menjauh. sayangnya masih ketangkep juga. gue inget betul siapa orang-orang yang nyeburin gue, dan itu buktinya! hahaa :D

—

nyebur dan basah semua! gue udah gak keliatan lagi, terbenam di dalam asinnya laut cina selatan.

—

ups, sisa satu lagi yang masih kering! liat mukanya! huahahaha… dasar si Kecil.

—

jadi total ada 19 orang yang basah kuyup tanpa bawa baju ganti. kancut isinya pasir semua, baju basah kuyup, celana lembab gak karuan, lubang telinga kotor, rambut jadi keras, angin makin sore makin kenceng. semua berharap enggak masuk angin karena masih ada groundschool ATPL CAA6 syllabus, setidaknya sampe pertengahan februari.

selesai main air basah-basahan, masuk ke acara inti : makan-makan! jadi ceritanya kita semua ditraktir makan seafood di pinggir pantai.

makan yuk!

—

dari sisi sebelah sini juga :)

—

dan inilah mereka-mereka yang punya acara perayaan first solo flight hari itu :

Patriot a.k.a Iyot a.k.a Toyi a.k.a Totally Not Clear a.k.a bla.. bla.. bla..

—

Prihatmono a.k.a Mono a.k.a Monce a.k.a bla.. bla.. bla… btw sori ya mon, itu photoshop sama flashlight nya udah maksimal. hehehe *eh gak ikut-ikutan yaa gue :D

—

Ryan. si manusia purba satu ini kena juga diserbu anak-anak. untung udah lepas pakaian jadi baju nya enggak basah.

—

si Adi Kerontjong. heran gue, mau kayak gimanapun muka nya tetep pasang tampang nyebelin pengen nampol dah! itu bekas tip-ex dibersihin dulu gih, jangan pake air laut tapinya, makin kotor ntar. hahaha..

—

jadi begitulah kira-kira cerita kehebohan di awal tahun dari kita batch G16/08. sebenernya tiap hari (fully) groundschool bikin stress minta ampun! semakin hari semakin ada aja kelakuan konyol, malah makin konyol! ah gak tau deh ngomonginnya kayak gimana. hahaa… anyway, mari bersiap menghadapi UK CAA6 Examination akhir bulan februari ini. harapan gue, kita bisa memecahkan rekor di negara ini, and i wish no one can beat us!

jarang-jarang bisa ngumpul semua gini, kecuali ada Monthly Gathering @ Forum Penang. itu loh, rapat bulanan buat ngebahas kegiatan sehari-hari, diskusi tentang semua hal, cerita-cerita, ngasih feedback ke yang lain, dan bahkan ada sesi curhatnya. gak suka sama si itu? disampaikan lewat forum! gak suka kebijakan ini itu? speak out! atau ada yang pengen ditambahkan di kegiatan sehari-hari? bisa dibicarakan di sana.

tapi kali ini kesempatannya berbeda. kali ini ke pantai. itu kalo gak salah pas tanggal 3 Januari 2009. hm.. kebetulan untuk bulan Januari, gue yang jadi Class Leader. cerita tentang jadi Class Leader nanti aja di tulisan-tulisan selanjutnya. yang pasti, jadi Class Leader selama sebulan penuh, banyak sekali hal dan pengalaman yang telah ditemui. anyway, mari kita balik ke urusan basah-basahan..

itu yang kecebur banget, si Adi. kira-kira air asinnya ketelen gak ya? yucks!

—

kemudian ditinggal begitu saja. lho kok malah Willy yang jatuh lagi?

—

ini yang dari tadi kerjaannya mondar-mandir enggak jelas. sekarang giliran Kokoh Ricky!

—

“tenang, ngkoh. enggak apa-apa kok. haha..”

—

selanjutnya : Danang. eh, bajunya ampe sobek!

—

diangkat, dibalik, dijatohin, tapi ditahan dulu di dalem air!

—

inilah mereka-mereka yang sedang tertawa senang karena merasa semua senasib, mesti basah! ups, gue masih kering! (setidaknya sampe saat itu)

—

untuk sementara, suasana jadi tenang. yang belum diceburin : Reza, Gilang, Wayan, Emil, Bagus, Febri, Agung, Abi, Khartiz, dan tentunya gue sendiri.

—

to be continued…

makin banyak yang basah, makin banyak yang pengen dibasahin, makin banyak yang diincer. sore itu anginnya kenceng banget, arus bawah lautnya juga kenceng. rada serem juga sih, padahal sebelumnya udah rencana mau hunting ombak kayak yang waktu itu. udah persiapan bawa celana renang, baju ganti, dan segala macemnya. tapi…

kali ini si Ryan yang diceburin. ati-ati, banyak batu tajem!

—

Patriot! hahahaa… seriously, waktu itu dia teriak :  ”Mamaaa.. mamaaa…!”

—

Emil dengan riang gembiranya melihat anak-anak bisa nyebur bareng hari itu! gyahahaha…

—

Jelas… jelas sekali.. mukanya bener tuh! Bang Iyot, tuh mereka pelakunya. foto ini buktinya! si Aca, Pak Tua Dhani, Willy, Ryan, dan yang paling semangat : Romel! huahahaa…

—

abis diceburin, semua pergi. dan beralih ke yang lain, mangsa baru yang lain. nyebur ngajak-ngajak, basah juga mesti diajak-ajak. hahaha..

—

sekarang giliran si Kerontjong alias Adi. kasian banget liat nasibnya hari itu. tapi sebenernya ada yang lebih tragis lagi sih :D

—

to be continued…

sekitar awal Januari kemaren, kita satu batch (the whole member of batch G16/08 – yes, all twenty cadets!) pergi berangkat jalan ke pantai. acara apa sih? hm.. syukuran atas first solo flight nya 4 temen-temen di sini. yaa dengan kata lain traktirannya patungan gitu. yeah, good job! sering-sering aja nih ngumpul kayak gini :D

baru nyampe nih, di foto sih cuma ada 19 orang. ya jelas lah, satu orang lagi jadi tukang foto.

—

ini kayaknya si Gilang yang ngambil gambar. hehe gue aja gak tau kalo lagi difoto. lagi menikmati suasananya pake lagu Laskar Pelangi nya Nidji!

—

semua senang, semua riang. Abi, Kharitz, Romel, Mono, Danang, dan Ricky.

—

ada yang maen bola, ada yang maen layangan, ada juga yang ngecengin orang (teteeup)

—

ada juga yang melakukan hal-hal yang enggak penting banget kayak foto di atas! *ngakakgulingguling liat Ricky*

—

suasana sesaat sebelum “nyebur bareng”. masih rapi. kering. dan masih merasa dirinya paling aman :p

—

he was the first victim on that day! ROMEL! (was he the first?)

—

everyone was happy. they’d like to see their friends “got wet”. i think everyone of us should understand this quoted words.. hahaha!

—

more and more got their bodies wet! now everyone were laughing and pointing to those were got into water. they should pray for themselves because their turns will comes sooner! *including me :p

—

to be continued…

first destination on that evening was Bugis Street Bazaar. we walked along the streets for about 45 minutes. i do forget what were the streets named. and finally, we reached the Bazaar. i’ve spent about half of total amount of my dollars. all the way are three for ten dollars. i bought some of souvenirs, lighter, and others. so did my fellows. satisfied? being honest, no! hahaha… i wanted more than that, but actually i should look at my wallet also.

it was around 9 pm, we were hungry. let’s go walking along Orchad Road and find something that can be eaten! :p

surely it cannot be eaten or beaten. hahaha… it was Singapore Art Museum. we just wanted to take our photographs here because the composition and colors were match! and suddenly i was confused. how do we take a photos of all of us? do we need to use self timer (again) and put the camera on the pedestrian precinct? yes, i thought! but it was wrong. so many people were walking around there. and finally, the cone of confusion were broken after someone (i think he is a photographer by looking at his camera) ask me because he wanted to help us. without any doubt, i said yes to him.

there was a empty pedestrian precinct spot. as they promote “Christmas in The Tropic”, there were so many lights on the “ceiling” of the road. let’s take a photos here! hahaha.. wait, where is the camera focusing at?

walked along the road made us feel more and more hungry. “hey, look at here.. come faster!”, suddenly at the behind, Febri shouting for us. it was stated “Waroeng Indonesia”. huaaaa… didn’t think anymore, let’s go in! no matter how the price, because i did really want to have a Indonesian food for my dinner. i miss them! see, look at my dinner at that night. Roasted Prawn, yihaaaaa….

suddenly.. “did you say on the train this morning that you really miss Chiki Balls?”, Aca said. “and here they are..”. Oh my God! it’s Chiki Balls. they sell Chiki Balls also. hahahaa… if i’m not mistaken, the last time i ate them when during my high school. long time agoooo….

look! teh botol, gado-gado, happy soda, nasi rawon, and some additional food after that like meat balls a.k.a bakso. at least, i can found something that i missed from Indonesia here.. hahahaha. after finished, we were going back to our inn. we were tired for the journey of the whole “Christmas” day.

the next day, we were starting the day at 11 am. taking MRT to Sentosa Island, we wanted to go there but i thought that there will be billion of people there and because my friend said so before. why don’t we try to go there first? yes, for making sure all the things. hohoho…

we found Breadtalk at VivoCity. yeaah, bought some bread and cheese cake there before we went to Cable Car station. then we saw that a queing line to the ticket counter for cable car. it should be only 15 minutes hehhee.. but when we were going to join the queing people, then we saw very long line beside the building. that’s true, billion people were gathered there. oh no thanks, let’s go to other place…

walking around through the city until we were disappointed because The DHL Baloon are no longer at Singapore. it should be beside the road near Bugis Street Bazaar. finally we went to Singapore Flyer on foot. another disappointing things, it doesn’t work at all. but at least i have my photograph in front of it, so did my fellow :p

then we were taking breath for about 1 hour at Marina Bay, exactly behind Esplanade Concert Hall and near the Bay Stage, before go to station to catch the train. no more photos here because our camera was out of power. we were tired but really very happy at that time. overall, we are very happy and no longer stress or depressed because of pressure at the school. our mind has refreshed and ready to the next thing that we have to learn for :D

thankyou,

everything was okay. then we were going to The Merlion Park at Marina Bay. i did forgive myself. same goes for him. after a long journey, spent some amount of money, struggling, and everything, why did we got into a clash here? don’t do stupid things,  let’s take a lots of pictures and have fun here! huahahaha…

i saw a group of Japanese girls before taking this picture. i knew because they were wearing shawl on their neck and who didn’t know Harajuku Style looks like? hehehe.. i told to Febri who likes them so much (hohoho :p). unfortunately, he couldn’t find them around. haghaghag! okies, may be better if we meet them at their original country, not in Singapore, am i right correct? :p

took as many pictures as we can!

got sweating, so we held our breath for a while to feel fresh air there. we were all tired. hm.. what’s next? i thought that  Esplanade Concert Hall would be great. i couldn’t explain how difficult to took this following picture. there were so many people around us and crossing the camera’s shot. four times took the pictures, two times i shouted to them who those are crossing us while the camera started to shoot. as the result, only one we’ve got clear and nearly good picture. advice number 4 : get someone to take a picture of a group is better that just putting your camera on something and leave it shoot by itself by using timer settings :D

after that, we continued to our hostel around little India. we walked along Queen Elizabeth Walk. near the park, there are several memorials, such as The Former Indian National Army Monument. we have been there and took a pictures.

is that cool enough, Ca? you should say thousand thanks to me, huahahaa… yes, it should be! :p

walked along the road and finally arrived to the City Hall MRT Station. we were going to Little India to reach our inn for that night. we have been anxious to find out how does our hostel look like. near our hostel, there is a Abdul Gafoor Mosque

all preparation for night sightseeing in Singapore have been done. everybody already took their bath, changed their  suit, and everything. let’s go!

- to be continued

“you have control..!”

as we said for our navigator who held a map and decide what route that we will take for our destination. 12.00 noon, at that time we walked to Merlion Park first because we wanted to take pictures and will show the others that we were in Singapore! hahaha…

about half an hour, we stopped at Lau Pa Sat foodcourt somewhere around Robinson Road and Central Boulevard. we were confuse what kind of lunch that we wanted to choose. Nasi Padang (unfortunately they were closed), Western Food, Indian, Chinese, etc. i took Spaghetti with Chicken and Jelly Ice with Cocktail for beverages. then after lunch, we were ready to continue.

at  Finlayson Green junction, there was a giant-red-peoples held their hands each other-christmas-tree (how difficult to explain :p). at the time, my bag tooks our picture. see? Aca and Ryan become a part with nature a.k.a menyatu dengan alam. huahaha…

at the junction. while red light appear, we were being watched by drivers. but, no one of us care of it :p

finally we reached One Fullerton at Marina Bay. i was very angry while taking first picture (has been deleted and this is the second picture) because Aca held his hand exactly in front of my face, so annoying! did he knows how tired i was? for 30 minutes afterwards, everything was quite. i was alone, looking into the sky without them. advice number 3 : be careful of a tired man. his emotion might be very sensitive and could be a ‘big bang!’ if you intrude on it.

- to be continued

we had long weekend christmas holiday at the end of this year. we went to Singapore for 2 days only, because at 28th december that will be a normal working day. i went out with my batchmates, Febri, Aca, Ryan, and Yudi. after got permission from school 3 weeks before the day, we started our journey by train at 24th of december 8.30pm local time. it was fully-berth coach that we’ve ordered before, so we could sleep all the way during entire night of railway track.

there’s always fully-high-stressful-pressure here. as a human being, we need to refresh our mind before we proceed to the best result that we can achieve. excellent peformances are nothing and being useless if we couldn’t feel comfortable inside here. that’s why i’d like to travel instead of playing computer games during the whole sunny day, doing something with playstation while a little bit drizzle out there, or anything such a others artificial entertainment. outbond, going out with friends, try something new and different, or learning by experiencing, these are much more suitable for me, and my batchmates that i’ve mentioned.

try a backpackers way. yes, from long time ago i wish i could travel to somewhere in a backpackers way. all that we have done are like that. low budget, short period of time, and snacks (or even our instant lunch and dinner) were in the backpack. didn’t forget to bring a camera, because no point if we go somewhere without any written/pictured proof. borrowing a camera is not such a crime, right?

MYR98 for return fully-berth train tickets from Wakaf Bharu Station to Singapore Tanjong Pagar Station with KTM. long.. long.. long.. and long journey, it takes 14 hours to reach our destination. it’s almost from the first point of railway track and the ends (Singapore) in the other side. but, don’t worry if we were taking appropriate seating for us. for accomodation (1 night only), we had ordered a low budget hostel by online, about SGD20, near little India. all those things were ready on our backpack and so we are ready to take-off!

it was hard to get sleep. might be i had a bit nervous, hehehe… the things that i’ve think about is immigration process at the border, either Malaysia or Singapore. but i was  worrying about Singapore immigration most. eh, nevermind. at least i had to wait until we arrived at the border first, and face whatever that can be happened.

after a long boring time (maybe the longest night while on journey ever had :p ), we arrived at Johor Baharu station which is the last stop-point in Malaysia before enter Singapore. here also, we were checked by Malaysia immigration and customs.

we (i mean all the whole train passengers) were waiting for Aca and Ryan that had to go to immigration office at the station because they didn’t bring their immigration card along with. advice number 1 : bring all the things that related to our passport or immigration affair. get it together with stapler or anything attached to your passport.

fyuh, we can passed Malaysian border. then, we were on the straits of Singapore. i thought that it was a bridge, instead that’s only a two lands that connected by heap of soil. i was wrong. but whether i was wrong or not, there is Singapore (immigration) border afterwards. it’s called Woodlands Train Checkpoint (45 minutes to go to the real Singapore Tg Pagar Train Station). we had to disembark from train along with our bagagge, went and queued into the line to be checked.

came to my turn. just a short checking on the line before i had to be interviewed by another staff out of queing line. yes, i was nervous at that time. i was afraid that we would be rejected to enter Singapore. need to be relax during the short interview and telling the truth, so did my fellow. and as you know, we’ve made it! suddenly i’m thinking about Ryan and come to advice number 2 : don’t show that you are nervous (or even just a jokes). they can read your face that looks like there was anything wrong with you. be calm :D

arrival delayed about 1 hour. more or less, we were contributing of this delays because of our short interview with immigration. nevertheless, we had arrived safely. Welcome to Singapore!

i’m the man behind the camera. if it wasn’t me, so who will take the pictures? :p

with Map of Singapore held on our hands, then where we were going to?

once upon a day when i was 17, i went to airport with my dad. i forgot what were we doing for, was it to took my father’s friends or picked a one member of my family. instead, i  remember very clearly when i said “dad, i do really want to fly…” softly. we were at waving gallery, and there was an aircraft pushing-back from it’s bay. it was GA117. i felt suddenly frightened when the engines were roaring. gosh, what a such a be bursting to fly feeling.

“trust me, you can fly as many as you want later…” as followed by his smile afterwards.

and i was little bit mumbling. “eh, how come? where is that money comes from? oh don’t cheer me up without any reason that couldn’t make any sense”. at that time, the aircraft has started to run on the runway. that was great scene over there. i couldn’t imagine how they did work. almost 60 tons, can fly and doing manouvre easily. so beautiful, i even can’t held my tears anymore. quickly i wiped out them. and the aircrafts were gone through the blue sky…

“well.. nevermind, dad…”

i really wanted to be there. and till now, sometimes that feeling suddenly comes into my daily life.

i want to fly, through the sky…
