hari bersamanya

16 October 2010

it started out good. i was in a good mood all morning. i got to see the morning sunshine. morning sunshine makes me happy. morning sunshine gives me hope and somehow gives lead to a good day.

duo singing reggae happily on the street - street performers never failed to grab my attention most of the time. but it came the time when you are standing in a sea of people, busy people bustling from left to right, or just standing there blocking your path just to be part of the crowd; the time when you caved in from the world, when you feel misunderstood and hurt, when you think no one really gets you no matter how hard you try to let them in, the time when you only want to be all by yourself and cry your heart out for reasons you are not very sure of, but you want to cry anyways just for the sake of letting it out. yeah i felt that too today. but i got over it. i dont want my sensitive element to get in my way of a beautiful Saturday, so i did what i have to do to get over it.

come dusk, i am preparing myself to watch Eat Pray Love. it is the type of novel which i always see on the shelf in the bookstore which i also passed by without much anticipation.  judging the book by its cover, i assumed the book is dull and boring and for the a-little-bit-matured soul. as for the motion picture itself, i heard friends said its beautiful, its for the romantic soul, yet some say draggy, the story line is slow-paced and its long. i still have no intentions to watch it. judging the movie by its poster, Julia Robert eating some gelato on a bench next to some nuns, i think, 'okay thats eating and praying, i guess, then she'll fall in love and same yada yada stuff, and voila~ the end. just another love story'. and THEN, another someone said it was filmed in four different countries. and that caught my attention. just like that, i flipped my heart 180^o and decided to watch it pronto. oh my weakness for places. thanks to Mym, i have easy access of buying last minute tickets on a busy Saturday! babe, you rock! :D though i came in the theatre i lil tad late, and i missed the introduction of Ketut, i am loving the movie so  so much i wanna watch it again (and again). it IS beautiful. it is NOT draggy for me. i am so loving the flow of it which carried me gracefully throughout the movie. i LOVE the food part the best :D watching Julia eating spaghetti makes me want to dash out of the cinema and get my own bowl of spaghetti (with meatballs!) and i dont know why but watching Liz making order in Italian language makes me want to read the book, so i can enjoy the food figuratively in my own leisure time. and yes, i assume the book elaborates more on the food (and i hope it tells how the food is being prepared as well, cause that is a super bonus point to help me imagine the food before my eyes). ok i am rambling bout food right now though i just ate. cant help it, food is just yummy. the only one thing i didnt agree was when Felipe talked Liz out bout not eating durian cause it taste like feet. durian is yummy too ok. so Liz's journey is not complete until she tries the durian. come back to Bali and eat durian ok Liz. ok now i'm rambling bout an imaginary sequel of Eat Pray Love on Liz coming back to Bali for Ketut's cremation and eating durian. well thats my story on falling in love with a movie.  and i was wrong to assume it is just another romantic love drama making its way on the silver screen. from the way i see it, it gets me thinking, it brings me to places, it pleasures my eyes with all the amazing places that i could only wish to go (for now), it treats my throat and tummy and make me vow to go food hunting even harder in the future! :D maybe also cause Apiz being awake for the entire movie makes it an enjoyable movie to watch :)

though i come home with a sore ankle, i'm glad i end it with SheilaOn7 -like song on the radio. (i think its So7, but i dont know if So7 has a new song, the singer just sound like Duta, and i miss Duta's singing. and their soothing songs.) that one completes the day :)

i just googled!! yes it is Sheila on 7! it's 'Hari Bersamanya'

everything that happened today, be it walking under the sun, singing to the cheerful song about girl meets boy on replay, taking photos with supersampler which i abandoned for too long thinking it was broken when i was the one who forgot how to load a film, hunting for Sarawak local delicacy in peninsular land, got carried away by mood swings, laughing my heart out at a story of dreaming bout a pig's snort, laughing my chest out on the ambition of being a forgetful futuristic guy, it is all worth it. each incident is worth the feeling. and now i am smiling with my liver :) :) :)

letter to Apiz

after a rollercoaster of bitter-sweet yet passionate and sturdy 10 years of love, i thought we were getting better at this long-distance thingy. at least i think i was stronger - that i could do this anytime anywhere. i admit it'll be a bit too conceited to claim that i could do this better than before. that i promise myself no more crying at the airport, no more melancholy silence in the car the night before we parted, no more 'goodbyes' but instead we say 'see you soon' - coz we do this ALL.THE.TIME. when in fact, i think i got worse. i turn from doing good to suck. and i think i suck even more right now that i'm missing you to the point that i do not know what to do. just got off the phone with you. but it didnt seem enough. i still wana hear you talk, even in your most gibberish sleepiest voice. even after seeing you for a whole day, it still didnt seem enough. i still wana watch you even when you're doing nothing but sleep while we're in the movie. you are like my vacation. my joy. my punch bag. my bestest buddy. my all. everything that i've seen, heard and touch, i want to share them with you. i want to run to you after an argument with a family member. i want to talk to you after a misunderstanding with a friend. i want to let you know what a stranger just told me. and i want to be the most with you after we had our very own quarrel, to make up with you and just melt one more time in your tender love. i enjoy being close to you. to have someone to run to when things get bad. someone to give me shoulders to cry on when the world seem evil from all sides. someone to give me a full warm hug when i just simply need one. someone i can whisper all my dreams and fears and tell me to dream bigger cause it is absolutely free-of-charge to do so. someone to always want to keep me safe and happy. someone who appreciate my presence and make me feel belonged. i think i've grown dependent on you. and dare i said, i was waiting for this day to come, where i've come out from my own bubble and join you in our bubble. sorry i made you wait, dear. i want you and the world to know that i love you til the end.

Di sudut termenung jauh
Mengenangkan nasib kita
Kita miliki separuh
Berbentuk hati cinta namanya

Walau kau jauh
Ku sentiasa menunggumu
Inginku imbas kembali memori

Walau kau jauh
Ku berjanji kan terus tunggu
Dipisah lautan biru

Ku mahu kau tahu
Aku kan terus menunggu

Jaga benar gambarku dalam telefon bimbitmu
Jangan pernah sekali kau buang
Seperti cinta ini yang terbuku
Akan bersemi jua

Terus menunggu
Kita kan bersatu
Terus menunggu
Ku mahu kau tahu
