Which Witch

Taken from his blog, my friend Sigit(yeah, absolutely the same name!) like to observe the personality of his friends. Here are some:

>He doesn't really bother about grades, about being competitive, about being passionate about things. Although he's not that far behind either. He's not even explicitly organised about his everyday life and things. But his appearance is always neat and tidy, his thought flowing gently through his mouth, have a strong faith in his religion and what he believes in life. He doesn't know where to go and what to do in the future, but although he has doubts, he doesn't panic out loud. He is the kind of philosopher that observes people but never want to plunge himself into the world. His inner thoughts amaze people.

>He knows that to be successful in the future he needs to do everything to get the most out of himself. He is outrageously competitive and proactive. He seems to know what to do for himself for today and the future. Life is a battlefield for him. He needs to win, thus he tries everything. But he seems to be very self-centered sometimes which might arise from the environment/education he was raised in. He is the type of an arrow that comes off an arch who never comes and looks back.

>Life is all about laugh and joy for him. There's nothing to worry about. It's always simple everyday. Nothing is better than a good, or somewhat blatantly rude joke. But people do like him much. He's the bond for every gathering. He's the type of someone who lives day by day, minute by minute and enjoy himself thoroughly.

Can you guess which one is me? (btw, sorry Git for stealing your post)

Karin dan Kolredridg

Apakah kalau kantuk menimpamu…?
Apakah kalau kau bermimpi terbang ke langit…?
(Atau turun ke kebun-kebun yang indah...?)
Ke tempat tinggi, taman bunga…
Apakah kalau kau memetik bunganya…
Lalu kau bangkit dari tidurmu…
Kau dapati bunga di antara jemarimu…

Tahukah anda arti angka empat?

Akhir-akhir ini aku sering melihat angka empat dalam keseharian. Lama koneksi internet-ku 4 menit 4 detik atau sejenisnya. Itu pun berulang kali.

And I Ask Him… ‘Kar, emang ada apa sih dengan angka empat? Kok akhir2 ini gue sering ngeliat angka 4, kenapa ya?’

And He Told Me… ‘Angka 4 dalam bahasa Jepang itu dibaca shi, yang artinya mati atau kematian. Makanya orang-orang Jepang ato Cina anti menggunakan angka 4 dalam produk atau lantai bangunan mereka. Nah lo, Git!’

Dan saat itu gue lagi berkumpul bersama temen2 gue berempat.

‘Udah Git, ga usah dipikirin. Mampir ke rumah gue dulu yok?’

‘Nomer rumah lo nomer berapa kar?’

‘Nomer empat…’

Dingin, saat itu pula semuanya terasa dingin. Gue mikirin yang enggak-enggak ngebayangin pas gue nyetir mobil pulangnya. Bakal ada yang nangis gak ya kalo gue meninggal? Apa yang sudah gue lakukan selama ini? Barang2 gue yang menumpuk itu bakal diapain? Gue nggak percaya hal-hal ginian. Tapi toh, aku memang belom siap mati. Selama ini gue ngebayangin kalo gue bakal hidup sampe tua. Gue selalu khawatir ntar pas lulus gue bakal kerja apa. Padahal bahkan belom tentu gue bakal ‘kerja’…

Dan tau nggak, nomer registrasi gue pas ikutan Training ESQ : 0404

Aku akan mati. Well, aku memang akan mati. Semua orang akan mati.
