Harum Candu

September 5th, 2006 by urbanbabes

Bagai candu
Gores saja dalam nadi
Ingin kecap sekali lagi

Getar ketir menggelepar
Kusesap harum bumi
Di kelir pelupuk mata

Lupa saja dunia
Serah tangis atau tawa
Biar langit jadi saksi
Hilangnya batas nirwana

Busungkan dada
Torehkan cinta
Dalam hati yang sedang luka

Tak usah lagi tanya
Karena raga tak lagi maya

Tak perlu tunggu waktu
Karena cabikan sudah ragu

Peluh dikeluh
Dan dalam satu tarikan nafas, kita adalah satu.

~ the result of a week waiting in vain…

Pelari Satu Sesi

August 17th, 2006 by urbanbabes

Mata menatap televisi
Padahal kepala sudah tak isi
Suara juga hanya numpang permisi

Asap penuhi pipi
Gelas tak kembali diisi
Kerjaan udah gak ada lagi

Sekeliling sudah rapi
Jari erat dipegangi
Apalagi hati dimiliki

Bagai jerat ikat gundah diri
Kenapa hati ini lari
Entah apa yang dicari

Pening sekali kepala ini
Tapi lelap tak juga hinggapi
Padahal lampu sudah mati

Angin bawa saja pergi
Kelana ingin dijalani
Mungkin hanya sekedar satu sesi

Tuhan, Aku Ingin Tidur.

July 13th, 2006 by urbanbabes

Tuhan…

Aku ingin tidur…

Mata terpejam dalam pekat

Tetapi hati ini masih melompat.

Tuhan…

Aku ingin tidur…

Pikiran loncat ke sana kemari

Bagai langkah peri belum mandi.

Tuhan…

Aku ingin tidur…

Resah resah aku mendesah

Garuklah bibir yang berkeluh kesah.

Tuhan…

Aku ingin tidur…

Badan ini sudah sangat capai

Tapi kok gerak terus kayak tupai.

Tuhan…

Aku ingin tidur…

Tenangkan gundah ini dan berikan satu mimpi

Masya Allah… sudah pagi lagi…

What A Day!

May 22nd, 2006 by urbanbabes

Lights bubbling

Drinks pouring

Dance tripping

Cigar lighting

Clocks ticking

Roads blinking

Works flowing

Thesis writing

and me sleeping…

Dreams of An Aunt

December 22nd, 2005 by urbanbabes

I wanna have a baby when I’m 30…

But first I wanna have a happily marriage without kids for about 2 years, so I have to be married when I’m 28…

Before that I want to have at least 3 years of relationship with this man so I have to meet him when I’m 25…

Which gives me 1 year to search and hunt for this Mr. Right Guy (God bless him that he’s the one! =p)…

Because I’m planning to take my master’s degree for 2 years and finish it when I’m 24…

But first I have graduate and get my bachelor degree when I’m 22…

FYI, I’m now 21.

And after all of this adds up, I still don’t have a clue what I’m going to do now…

Dedicated to my new-born nephew, Sebastian Alexander (11.11.2005)

Politics

October 25th, 2005 by urbanbabes

Oh how sweet those words

Yet so bitter in my ears…

He say

She say

Those sentences together forming a line of destruction

A piece of mind that kept me puzzled

She say

He say

An explanation of what’s right and what’s wrong

A defensive look that create a labyrinth in my head

Oh how sweet those words

Yet so bitter in my ears

I wish I could understand it…

Front Seat

October 23rd, 2005 by urbanbabes

Just got back to the office after two days of staying in for ASCOMAXX stand. It was for Stereo Looks & Tuner Show Off in Balai Kartini, 22-23 October 2005. Got cramps on my feet for standing so long with my pretty white high-heeled pumps..

And this morning, my day is complete by riding the "mikrolet" from hell !!! 

I sat next to the driver because it was empty. Then an old man came and sat next to me. So the three of us cramped in the front seat. We were so "sardine-in-the can" if I must explain. And the most disgusting thing happen.. The driver kinda rub his hand on my thighs when he change the gear shift. Yuck!!! I keep pushing the old man to the door in order to save my thighs. I prayed hoping to myself, don’t let that driver do that on purpose. Then after I got down.. I handed the usual 1.500 rupiah.

He rudely asked: "Dari mana nich?!"

I answered: "Cempaka Mas."

He said: "2.000!"

I shouted: "Cempaka Mas Bang!"

He replied: "2.000! Dari Honda aja uda 2.000."

Then he yawn…

After I slammed the front door, I quickly grab some coins and throw it to his dirty hands. I didn’t say thank you and don’t look back. And I swear NEVER-EVER sit on the front seat! Ugh…

A Night Out

October 17th, 2005 by urbanbabes

She lits up a cigarette

Stare through the horizon

In one blink, the whole city lights gazed upon her eyes

The sound of traffic

Wind breezes up her face

Then she looks up…

Full Moon.

She praise to herself

What a wonderful life…

Tick… Tock… The Clock Is Ticking!

October 17th, 2005 by urbanbabes

Time flies…

Like a sand in your hand.

The more you grab it, the more it slip from your fingers.

When I count the years…

Never thought I would be this far.

The memories that will always be in my mind.

Cherish the moments, the laughters and the tears.

It’s time to reconcile…

Was it worth it?

Learn To Be Patient

September 23rd, 2005 by urbanbabes

Patience…

A small word but needs a big effort to be done. An emotion that needs to be trained and exercise. When we feel that somebody else is tormenting our pride but we have to keep our smile and be polite. How can people be so cruel?!? Why people feel that they have the right to step on our self-esteem and our beliefs?!?

I just lost my first client in Ascomaxx. They didn’t give me a big account but they sure left a big hole in my heart. The time that I’ve spent to lip-service them, the moments that they used to bring me down, the pressure that they have put in my mind. And all that is even more unworthy because I have to repay them back for the unprofesionalism and inconvenience that they have experienced.

Look on the bright side, I have learn that everybody makes mistakes and everybody is forgiven. They may have the right to not forget it but I will. These are the things that helps you to enter the stage of maturity of whatever… But at least I learn how to be patient…
