Pasangan Jiwa

~ Katon Bagaskara

Kadangkala aku bertanya
dimana cinta berada
tersembunyi tiada kunjung menghampiri
Dua angsa memadu rindu
di danau biru bercumbu
pagut sepi ku di sini letih hati

Begitu jauh waktu ku tempuh
sendiri mengayuh biduk kecil,
hampa berlayar akankah berlabuh?
hanya diam menjawab kerisauan

Kadangkala aku berkhayal
seorang di ujung sana
juga tengah menanti tiba saatnya

Begitu ingin berbagi batin
mengarungi hari yang berwarna
dimana dia pasangan jiwaku?
ku mengejar bayangan kian menghilang

Fine Dining

Early this month, I've decided to do something different as part of my 2008 commitment. I went to enjoy the sunset in Senggigi at the best spot that I can think of.

The place is called Café Alberto restaurant and pizzarie, it is about 30 minutes Kijang’s ride from my home. The last time I came here was about 9 years ago, with my very special friend of mine... whoaa, such a long time. The waiter greated me with nice smile as I entered the place, it was about 20 minutes before the sun go down.

I took a chair near the beruga facing the beach,the atmospheare was so warm. There were a couple of people at the restaurant, one of them had this hi-tech camera hangin on his neck... hmm, they want to capture this beautiful sunset, as I whispered to my self.



Not much to say at that time, all I did is enjoying the moment as the sun go down slowly. What a nice feeling having the moment with only me and my self and I enjoying it. On that 20 minutes of time, looking at the sunset, I’m thinking maybe I should do this more often.. maybe bring along some friends to share the wonderful moment, yeaahh maybe I’ll do that again next time.

The waiter came with the menu on her hand, offered me something to drink and what I wanted to eat for dinner. Soowww, with a lot of excitement, I ordered tomato salad (with mozzarella on top) as appetizer and some lime squash with it.

The taste was amazing, fresh tomato, fresh basil leave and mozzarella were surely delicious.

Then as main course I had ravioli di spinachi special, it is a home made ravioli with spinach and cheese inside, hmm yummy. And since it is an Italian restaurant, so I ordered one of my favorite Italian food.. pizza. The pizza called Tropicana pizza, it has beef, garlic and pineapple as topping.

The restaurant it's not the least expensive, but the standard is very good.

It's worth a visit.

Personal Intimacy

It's between me and Him
No camera, no video cam, the feeling of highest respect
Only want to have this moment alone with Him
Not wanting to share to others

All the feeling, all the senses, all the miracles
It's for me and for me only

The things that you can't describe in words, only things that you can feel
You can feel it in your finger, your toes, and deeply in your heart

It was a wonderful and peaceful journey


~ a short story of my ultimate journey

Gone?

The heart's left
And the friend is also gone
I don’t know whether I should go after the friend or after the heart!
A voice spoke to me "Go in pursuit of the friend, because the lover needs a heart in order to find union with the friend"

2008, the year for "Differences"

1. Try new things
2. See things in different perspective
3. Do something different
