I love you and thats all I know

As per my previous post, one of my best friend will be married this week. If i could give a present, this song maybe it. Unfortunately (for me, for the wedding audience is a bless) i couldnt be there and sing for her because this month is hell of of a month with unproper amount of holiday for me. Heres the song, one song that i first hear in Chicken Little movie. I still remember the scene, its when the father looking into his sleeping son (im getting melancholic, am i ).

This song is about loving someone, and just believe in that. Sometimes i think that relationship between a man and woman is full of unnecesarily complexity. A man will be challenged by so many sophisticated aspects when he try to build relationship with a girl (e.g families acceptance , faith , friends, should have good jobs,  house, cars, you-name-the rest-of-it).  I wonder why can we be just simple about this, like when you asked by someone “why do you want to marry him ?” youll just answer “because hes alwaye make me smile” end of the story. Yeach i know real world we live in doesnt works that way, its just my rants.  Thats why i really love this song, because this song is about loving someone in a simple way. Here you go

I love you, and thats all know

All I Know – Five for Fighting

I bruise you
You bruise me
We both bruise so easily
Too easily to let it show
I love you and that’s all I know

And all my plans
Keep fallin’ through
All my plans, they
Depend on you
Depend on you
To help them grow
I love you
And that’s all I know

When the singer’s gone
Let the song go on
There’s a fine line between
The darkness and the dawn

They say in the darkest night
There’s a light beyond

And the ending always
Comes at last
Endings always
Come too fast
They come too fast
And they pass too slow

I love you
And that’s all, it’s really all I know
It’s all I know

Congratulation again for Desy and Farid, i give my salute to both of you for the commitment to take your relationship into the next level. I pray that what ever things that got in your way, youll always have each other.. in a simplest way .

Hufffhh glad for both of them, hope the next wedding post in this blog will be my own (give me amien for that will you? ) . And when that happen ( once again, dont ask me about the date) i will have this song played by a nice band with a piano. Oh wait, i think its better if i sing this song myself and she will be the pianist. Without any band, its more simple that way

Selamat menempuh hidup baru my friend

Its sunday morning folks, non hectic time that really compels me to snooze all day. But theres something, caught my attention. A green shiny four squared object imprinted with fancy writings, here you go.

makes me feels old to realize that my friend is gonna be married

Yap one of fellow PHOENIC05 will not gonna be single anymore on next week, and that one will be the first one from all 69 Information System ITS circa 2005 fellow. Dan yang membuka segel pertama kali itu adalah Desy Putri Purnama Sari, teman KP dan juga kolega satu kantor saya sekarang.  Sebenarnya bukan berita baru sih, desy memang dari dulu punya ambisi untuk  menikah ASAP hehehe. Seperti layaknya pekerja IT, Desy pun menyediakan website tersendiri untuk pernikahannya, check this link.

Semoga sukses ya des dalam menempuh hidup baru. Doa kita semua bersamamu, semoga menjadi keluarga sakinah mawaddah dan warohmah. Ok then lets cheer up and sing a song for the next-to-be couple folkas:).

Supaya dirimu tidak tersesat di Bandung

Belum pernah ke Bandung kan ? ok then ill write this post just in case youre going to this city because if you get lost here your dad will hunt me down and sue me.  Ok mari kita mulai, klo dari Surabaya seringnya sih aku naik kereta. Klo naik kereta, ini lah landmark bandung pertama yang akan kamu temui.

Me and this corner of the street

Here i stand in this corner of the street. Its an ordinary street by the way, people walking by, street vendors everywhere. In fact, almost every time i go home to this so called parijs van java i pass this corner.  Still until now, after all these times, after hundreds of days, i still feel the strange feeling. Every time i pass this corner i still feel this funny and undeniable urge to stay and playback all the good memories happening in here. Well its not that funny after all, it only me laughing sarcastically to myself.

what are you afraid of ki ? its just ordinary corner of the street

The witness of my stupidity, the silent traces of my mistake, thats just some names i used to call this corner. Silly name i guess, my logical part of my brain said that its just a place like many other places, but the emotional part of me slap me with those memories and said “No, its not”.  At the other side of this corner, theres another place thats make me feel worst than this corner. The place you jokingly said to me “Its my second home, coziest place in this city” , the place called Ciwalk, A along walkway that looks very beautiful at night. A long walkway that once in my highschool time i cursed myself that i will be having great memories here someday. Well i can deny it, its really are beautiful, so beautiful that makes me laughing sarcastically to myself.

I think i have new name for this corner, this corner is my safe zone. Safe zone that protect me to that beautiful walkway. Protect me from all the memories ive spent in those walkway laughing with you. Protect me from delicious ramen that were often go there to have some lunch. Protect me from XXI cinema that i often take you there. Protect me from the fact, the fact that its me who let you go streaming down in tears. The undenieable fact that  its me who dont have faith in you, its me who always being too logical and its me who didnt do all the things you expect from me.  This safe zone protect me from break down my knees and cry like a sad spoiled little child who accidentaly drop his candy, instead of that this corner makes me laugh. Laugh sarcastically to myself.

And here i am still standing at this very corner.  Like a schizofrenic, i battle my own feet that want to go forward to that wakway to protect my heart from breaking. Like a sociopath, i create mind barrier and close the possiblity to cross the street  Like psychopath, i laugh, laughing hard so  hard that i wont let my tears fall down. Laughing at whatever things crossed in mymind. Just laughing, and still laughing. Sarcasticaly to my own self.

Well, its just me being emotional i guess. From whatever perspective, its just ordinary corner of the street. The corner that still watching me with an eagle eye. Watching myself, who still not moving from you.

Post After Hiatus : Final Project Completion

Walls of carnage surround your weakness
Crash down like oceans, wait for the light
In total darkness, drowning in bleakness
Awaiting death’s grip, cry out for life
                  – Torn Between Scylla And Charybdis , Trivium

Salah satu phrase bahasa inggris yang saya suka adalah “It feels like forever”, dan memang frase itu tepat sekali untuk menggambarkan kapan terakhir kali saya menulis di blog ini. It feels like forever folks, dan sekarang saya akan mencoba untuk mengaktifkan kembali saraf menulis yang (sedikit) terbengkalai.

I will tell you about my final project. Yep, itu adalah alasan (or you can called it alibi) saya menelantarkan some things that used to be so fun (this blog included). Judul lengkap dari tugas akhir saya adalah

PENERAPAN TEKNOLOGI MASHUP PADA APLIKASI PARIWISATA BERBASIS WEB NUSANTARAVIEW  : EVEN, CUACA DAN MULTIMEDIA.

Phew, sounds complicated huh ? tapi tidak sesusah judulnya kok. Bahkan saya merasa TA ini sebenarnya simple and i have to say it folks, its really fun . Modal untuk kelulusan saya di semester ini adalah sebuah aplikasi pariwisata berbasis web bernama NusantaraView. Aplikasi ini berbentuk sebuah komponen Joomla, dan plus pointnya adalah pemanfaatan teknologi mashup untuk sumber konten pariwisata di dalamnya. Dibawah ini adalah asrsitektur sistem dari NusantaraView.

My Mom’s Graduation

FYI, ibu saya selama setahunan ini kuliah s2 lagi di salah satu kampus swasta di Surabaya. Dan hari ini saya menemani mama dan papa wisuda di Hotel Shangrila Surabaya.

NB : dont ask about my graduation

Code in the Cafe

Hey baby look at me go
From zero to hero
You better take it from a geek like me
Well I can save you from unoriginal dum-dums
         – Geek In The Pink, Jason Mraz

Kepala pusing karena framework yang kamu pake dokumentasinya payah ? runtime error yang sampai sekarang belum solve apa penyebabnya ? or you are so not in the mood eventough you havent do any single line of code ? hehehe welcome to the club klo gitu. Dan ketika gejala gejala itu sudah muncul, biasanya sih saya keluar untuk cari suasana baru. I like to see people and the crowd, code is something on the opposite of that. Code in the cafe, yup selama ini itu yang saya lakukan untuk regain mood dan menyelesaikan tugas tugas yang stuck because of the mood.

Java Sharing Session at Unijoyo

Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we’ll turn it all around
‘Cause it’s not too late
It’s never too late
- Never too late, Three Day Grace

Hi folks, hari selasa lalu saya berkesempatan untuk mengunjungi Madura for the sake of spreading JAVA movement . Adalah himpunan mahasiswa teknik informatika Universitas Trunojoyo yang mengundang saya untuk mengisi sharing session yang bertemakan Java dalam rangka dies natalisnya. Titel acaranya sebenarnya adalah seminar, but i couldnt say that in this blog because “seminar” sounds too hig level for me. for my level now, lets just call it sharing session .

let say it together, JAVA!!

Bandung In My Point Of View

I just have to let you know
Maybe there’s a place for you and me, yeah
I just have to let you know
That it’s you I’m thinking of
That’s it’s you I’m thinking of
             – Relish, You Im Thinking Of

Bandung, ibu kota Jawa Barat, Paris van Java dan kota kelahiran gue. Yap, beberapa hari yang lalu Kiki Ahmadi pulang menuju tanah kelahirannya. Sebenarnya barengan seangkatan dalam rangka studi ekskursi sih tapi sengaja pulang nelat karena satu dan banyak hal. Salah satunya adalah spent some time to have a date with this beautiful lady .

taman kota di jalan merdeka

Seorang kiki ahmadi alkisah menghabiskan masa kecil di kota ini sebelum akhirnya ikut migrasi kedua orangtuanya ke belahan timur pulau jawa, Surabaya. Meskipun begitu, dari SMP gue udah terbiasa ke Bandung sendirian naek kereta klo liburan. Melakukan perjalanan 14 jam dari Stasiun gubeng sebelum akhirnya dijemput Om dan Eyang di Stasiun bandung. Seiring dengan bertambahnya usia gue, bagian dimana Om dan eyang menjemput digantikan dengan Kiki Ahmadi keluar dari stasiun dan keluyuran sendirian sebelum akhirnya naek angkot jurusan ledeng

This city had given me some of my greatest memories. And i will tell you all some of it .
