Mata, hati dan cinta

Mata yang memanggil, renung yang memaut
Kembalikan remajaku
Tika waktu hati berbicara cinta dan bukan cita-cita

Kalau mata bisa menulis, Kan ku bukukan wajahmu

Kalau mata bisa melukis, Kan ku potretkan senyummu
Kalau mata bisa menyanyi, Kan ku gubah santunmu
Dan kalau mata bisa merindu, Kan ku gubal puisi syahdu

Berjalan di bawah gelap malam bintang-bintang

Bayang-bayang yang ingin berlari, berhenti sekejap rayuku
Bawa aku pergi, berlari bersama mimpi-mimpi
Supaya anganku bisa menyatu dengan kamu
Dan duniaku jadi sempurna, karna adanya kamu

senja si pari-pari

senja
bukan lagi mainan si pari-pari
yang dulu bisa dilihat menari dengan api,
dan kadang kala dengan hati

senja
aku ukir untuk mimpi
matahari juga bisa tenggelam di hujung jari-jari
senyum untuk orang yang punya kekasih

sampai siang
angin yang berbicara  dengan rambut
lalu di mana jari-jari kamu?

dan sampai siang
bicara bukan lagi milik lidah
tapi milik mata
dan yang beda bukan sesiapa
tapi aku, dia dan mereka

3 PMs

i believe this is my first blog about my new workplace, the ministry of foreign affairs, or they call it here Wisma Putra. it is somewhat strategically located on top of a hill overlooking almost all the ministries below. from presint 1 all the way to JPM down to presint 2.

i have to be honest, the first thing i thought about Wisma Putra was the overseas postings. truth be told, the one reason i wanted to transfer to WP in the first place was, if i were to be posted overseas, then i would have enough money to buy me a Harley-Davidson. it does sound silly doesnt it? haha.

regardless what i may or may not write about this new workplace, it is by all means, my own personal thoughts and feelings. but it has been a blast, professionally. i remember i was 'in charge' of logistics for the Premier of China's visit to M'sia. he is schedule to meet with 3 prime ministers in one day. so we sent a letter to PM, and i contacted both former PMs, Tun Mahathir and Tun Abdullah's office for arrangements.

day 1 we were the officer put 'in charge' (kononnya la) of protocol arrangements for the bilateral meetings between PM and his chinese counterpart and the exchanging of MoUs between M'sian and China's companies witnessed by both. as the PM walked pass me, i remember thinking, 'he used to look bigger, the last time i saw him upclose in 2001'. mungkin kecut suda kali haha

day 2 i cover the courtessy call by the Chinese Premier on Tun Mahathir. As my boss and i were sitting inside the waiting room with Tun, i cant help but notice that he is, for lack of a better word, Old. He looks tiny and almost fragile, but he has still the charisma of a former world leader. then a couple of hours later it was Tun Abdullah's turn to meet with the Chinese Premier.

i met 3 prime ministers in 2 short days, i'm overwhelmed by the experience haha, orang kampung la katakan. my current workplace offers me a new window to the side of the world i have never experienced before, maybe not a big deal to some, but it is for me. the title says it all. till next time
