Outstation: A Process Of Learning

Indonesia.
5th - 8th December 2010.
Medan - Siantar - Parapat, Danau Toba - Berastagi - Medan



it was a family trip.. which my dad had promised us for quite sometimes..
the family holiday was supposed to take place only in Malaysia.. but my dad changed his mind..
"this trip is not only about having fun and freedom of seeing and visiting, but to learn a valuable lesson from it.. "

indeed, just like the trip we had in 2008.. we went to thailand before..
and we have learned a lot from that trip.. =)

back to Indonesia.
our flight was on the 5th, at 9.50 am local time..
we arrived at the polonia airport in medan and was greeted by our tourist guide..
uncle nazir; a very friendly guy, knows a lot about his own country and yet an aggresive driver on the road.. (seriously, i will never drive like he did!)
we went to a lot of places, had fun during the trip, learnt a lot of things and the true meaning of being thankful..

despite the fact that we were not feeling well on the last day, at least we knew that the journey was one of the best teacher; taught us about life in its own way.. =)

:: reach by eyes set to kill ::

Hush don't speak a word about the dreams that i live for
it hurts to reach you when i'm down
dont speak again, i'm still waiting for my turn
it hurts to reach you when i'm down

my dreams are growing into
frustrations when i hear your voice
(feeding me til i'm choking)
my ears are ringing louder
repeating words that bring me down
(ringing, my ears are bleeding)
so hold your breath and spare me
the pointless conversation, im running out of patience

don't blame me for trying to reach
as you are moving forward
i feel as if i can't catch up
(trying so hard to reach you)
i'm stuck here at the bottom
you're too high up to come back down
(trying so hard to reach you)

silence your harsh words my dear
my ears are ringing of this
i can't stop thinking of it
(i try to reach you but i fall)

hush don't speak a word about the dreams that i live for
it hurts to reach you when i'm down
dont speak again, i'm still waiting for my turn

First of all..
This post is a tribute and a note to remind the person I’m mentioning in it.

Hey buddy.
You are an amazing person. You know that. I know that. Even all those people who have known you will say the same thing.
To me, you are one of my best buddies. You have been by my side whenever I’m in need. No doubt about that.
We used to be like the best ‘best friends’. But it was a long way back. Not that I don’t appreciate you, I do. I really, really do.
But time changes everything. Or it may not be every single thing, but time does make a change in our lives.
The thing is, I don’t want to interfere in your life. You have a whole new life to begin with. I may still be a part of that life, but not as I used to be. Not as close as before. And you know that, it’s a fact that no one can deny.

I’m so sorry that I’m losing grip on this issue. It’s just not in my power of control. I can’t stay the same like I used to, it just won’t be like before.
So, do know this.
You will always be a part of me. Like other friends in my life.
Once, you have been the greatest mentor, brother and guider for me.
I will never forget that. Now and forever.
Thank you, for ever crossing my path in my journey of life.
