MANDALAWANGI - PANGRANGO

*Thanks lots lots to Cath who gave me this link which allow me to copy and paste this very nice piece by Gie. You can just sense his soul inside his writing, as clear and as braod as the morning sky.

MANDALAWANGI - PANGRANGO
Soe Hok Gie

Senja ini, ketika matahari turun kedalam jurang2mu
aku datang kembali
kedalam ribaanmu, dalam sepimu dan dalam dinginmu

walaupun setiap orang berbicara tentang manfaat dan guna
aku bicara padamu tentang cinta dan keindahan
dan aku terima kau dalam keberadaanmu
seperti kau terima daku

aku cinta padamu, Pangrango yang dingin dan sepi
sungaimu adalah nyanyian keabadian tentang tiada
hutanmu adalah misteri segala
cintamu dan cintaku adalah kebisuan semesta

malam itu ketika dingin dan kebisuan menyelimuti Mandalawangi Kau
datang kembali
Dan bicara padaku tentang kehampaan semua

"hidup adalah soal keberanian, menghadapi yang tanda tanya "tanpa
kita mengerti, tanpa kita bisa menawar
'terimalah dan hadapilah

dan antara ransel2 kosong dan api unggun yang membara
aku terima ini semua
melampaui batas2 hutanmu, melampaui batas2 jurangmu

aku cinta padamu Pangrango
karena aku cinta pada keberanian hidup

Hmm..

si mahasiswa NTU yg bunuh diri itu denger2 namanya david. sigh.. mgkn final year presssure was too much to him. jadi inget masa2 kerjain final year project, tinggal 3 bulan dan gua maseh blank. untung ngga masuk berita ky dia. life is a funny thing. well since there is a chance that this may not be a simple suicide, lets not assume so. maybe there's a truth behind this. duh.. jd inget kalo di conan trus dia bilank, "ini bukan bunuh diri.. ini adalah kasus pembunuhan!" jadi serasa mao jadi detektip -_-

Father

I am reading the book "Wild at Heart". One of the most striking points that the author made was that of how many, if not almost all, men are most severely wounded by their own father. You would have thought that your dad will be the one who believes in you when everyone else is doubting you. You expect him to do so. Coz when he does, you know that it ain't matter even if the rest are against you. So when it turns out that he is siding with those who doubt you. It hurts the most. It kills off your hope. It strips you off your courage and belief to be a real man. Because the man who is suppose to show you how to be a real man, the one whose approval matters the most.. does not side with you. He loves you.. yes. But a father's role is not simply to love and nurture. He is more than just that. He is your assurance, stronghold, strength. He leads you into adventure, he fights with you side by side, he shows you how to rescue a beauty. When your father of flesh and blood ca...
