Seht neuer Morgen

Seht, neuer Morgen in unsrer Nacht:
Gott befreit sein Volk, schon kommt er herbei.
Glück für die Menschen.
Fest ohne End.
Bereitet den Weg, den Weg für den Herrn.
Bereitet den Weg, den Weg für den Herrn.

Hört, gute Nachricht, Freudengesang:
Gott befreit sein Volk, schon kommt er herbei.
Ruf in die Wüste trifft unser Ohr.
Bereitet den Weg, den Weg für den Herrn.
Bereitet den Weg, den Weg für den Herrn.

To: Mom ♥

She is angry on almost every morning because it's so hard to wake me up.

Yet, she prepares breakfast and my lunch every day at dawn.

She never forgets telling me to be careful on my way to school every morning.

She asks me to do so many chores, that I often get angry, forget the fact that she's done much more.

She often feels annoyed and says she's too tired.

Yet, she wakes up before the sunrise, goes to work with public buses, and faces horrible traffics every day.

She annoys me by asking too many questions and getting worries too easily.

Yet, she's the best listener.

She tells me I'm beautiful, when I feel not.

She tells me I can, when I think I can't.

She tells me I'm the strongest, when I just want to give up.

She tells me not to worry, when my heart is full with fear and uncertainty.

And I know, actually, she's worried and afraid too.

She works so hard, not to fulfill her own dreams, but mine to be achieved.

She knows I'm busy, so she only sends short messages asking how I'm doing.

She cares but she doesn't want to bother me.

She's never absent to say my name in every of her prayers.

She chooses lonely life for me to have a better opportunity in life.

She's the happiest person, when I cried for the first time, despite of all pains she got for almost ten months 

and while giving birth to me.

She's my Mom. ^^

Thank you, God.

And thank you, Mama.

I love you.

Mimpi

Selama ini kalau ada yang bertanya ke gue, kenapa gue pilih jurusan arsitektur, jawaban gue adalah karena gue suka seni dan karena gue kuliah di Jerman, gue merasa sayang banget kalau ilmu teknik-nya nggak 'dicuri'. Jadilah satu-satunya bidang teknik yang menyentuh seni hanya arsitektur. Puji Tuhan sampai detik ini gue masih bisa kuliah dengan bahagia, walaupun tugasnya menakutkan dan sering membuat hati mau menyerah.

Impian gue adalah, kalau gue sudah jadi arsitek yang punya pengalaman dan kalau gue sudah punya modal, ada tiga hal yang harus gue bangun sendiri: rumah untuk Mama, gereja, dan bakery/cafe.

Udah, itu saja.

A Gift

A Gift

Do you like it, Dad? :')

I hope I could make it sooner, much sooner, so you could help me. You know, you're really good at drawing. :) It's really hard to draw people -___-.

How is it, Dad? I do have some talents, right? Hehehe.

Now I can draw better, my friends told me so. I learned a lot from you. You looked the coolest when you're painting or drawing ^^.

Now, I'm just realizing I never made something for you. :( So, this is what I made today. I think I still need to learn and practice more :[

I hope you like it :') and please accept it as a belated gift from me.

Love you, Papa.

Tweets Over Joo Won ♥

Jadi, ya Kawans, gue iseng nge-scroll profile Twitter gue dan menyadari bagaimana Joo Woon-nie-syndrome ini berkembang. Lebih iseng lagi, gue screnncapture semua tweets gue tentang Joo Won. Hahaha... xD

FYI, virus ini telah menulari salah seorang teman gue di Berlin sana... Yay, aku tak sendiri :)))

Jadi, inilah tweets fangirl gue xD

Note: Read from below to the top :) Sorry for the inconvenience :P

New Release: Ein Wunder

Hai, Temans! :))

Gue bikin satu blog baru. Yuk, mari dilihat, tinggal klik tab di atas. ^^

Apa itu "Ein Wunder"? 

Ein Wunder artinya mukjizat dalam bahasa Jerman.

Gue berencana untuk share setiap mukjizat yang gue terima setiap hari, sekecil atau sesepele apapun itu. Gue percaya, sebenernya kita memperoleh mukjizat setiap harinya. Tapi tekadang kita nggak menyadari mukjizat-mukjizat dan berkat kecil, yang kelihatan sepele.

Maka, gue ingin mengingatkan kita semua untuk terus bersyukur atas setiap hal yang kita terima. Gue pun masih belajar untuk selalu bersyukur. :) Dengan bersyukur, kita akan hidup lebih positif dan optimis.

Bertekunlah dalam doa dan dalam pada itu berjaga-jagalah sambil mengucap syukur.

-Kolose 4: 2

Sekedar info, gue akan menulis dalam bahasa Inggris di Ein Wunder, tujuannya untuk tetap melatih bahasa Inggris gue yang mulai semaput. Selain itu, gue juga berharap sharing cerita gue bisa mencangkup publik lebih luas. :D

Ein Wunder hanya akan berisi cerita-cerita pendek tentang berkat yang gue terima dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Jadi jangan takut, gue nggak bakal se-random di "Ujung Pena" :P. Hal-hal random dan kegalauan gue, akan tetap gue tulis di "Ujung Pena". Yep, I'm trying to manage two blogs at the same time! 

Semoga semuanya berjalan lancar dan nggak putus di tengah jalan (seperti kehidupan cintaku *eehhh*). Huehehehe... 

Terakhir, gue berharap tulisan-tulisan iseng ini tetap bermanfaat dan dapat menginspirasi orang lain. :D AMIN! 

Love Medicine - Joo Won (Good Doctor OST)

English: POP!GASA

When you miss a person,
 no matter how much
 you push them
It’s like trying 
to stop a young child

Everything that fills my eyes is you
I only look at you, 
who doesn’t know my heart
Though it hurts

Wind blows in my heart, 
stepping on the countless scars
Though I know love is painful
My heart beats once again
I want to believe 
that our love
isn’t momentary 
but is like destiny

We’re resembling each other, 
even the little things 
The way you talk, 
even your laughter

You have become my home 
in my life 
With your warm touch
You make me live, only you

Wind blows in my heart,
 stepping on the countless scars
Though I know love is painful
My heart beats once again
I want to believe
 that our love
isn’t momentary 
but is like destiny

My cold and frozen heart
The person who 
made it race again is you

Waktu

Sekilas info: Hari ini, Jerman dan negara-negara Eropa lain resmi memasuki Winterzeit, yang artinya sekarang Indonesia dan Eropa beda waktu 6 jam. :D

Yap, berbicara tentang waktu, hal-hal klise berlarian di kepala gue.

"Waktu itu relatif dan empat dimesional," kata Einstein.

"Alles hat seine Zeit", kata Goethe, pujangga Jerman. (Artinya: Semua ada waktunya)

Ini lanjutan puisinya:

Das Nahe wird weit
Das Warme wird kalt
Der Junge wird alt
Das Kalte wird warm
Der Reiche wird arm
Der Narre gescheit
Alles zu seiner Zeit.

Hati

Hati

Oleh: Jessica Marceline

Saat hati pertama kenal cinta, berkelana ia dengannya

Hati berjanji untuk jaga diri

Tapi kemudian ia kembali, terluka dan sendiri

Hati lalu berjanji untuk pulihkan diri

Kini ia pulih, tapi tak lagi ingin keluar

Hati telah jadi pengecut, meringkuk di sudut, memeluk lutut

Pekat adalah cahayanya, sepi adalah musik

Menjauh ia sembunyi, tak ingin terusik

Gemetar , hati berbisik,

"Mereka yang kelak mati, tak boleh berjanji"

"Siapa yang patut ucap selamanya?"

"Jika selamanya tak pernah ia kecap"

My Addiction to 2013 Korean Dramas ♥

As I've mentioned in the last post, I'd like to make another review-list about my most recent favourite korean dramas (you can read my last reviews here).

This time, it's not easy though, because there are many great dramas this year, great stories, great actors/actresses and not to mention, some new talents and come-backs. I've watched so many dramas and it'll be a loooooong list, if I put everything I've seen these past ten months. Also, I watched some old dramas, which aired 1-3 years ago instead of 2013, and some of them made to the list.

So, I decided to review just the best five in my personal opinion :). Enjoy.

-Not in order *SPOILER ALERT*

 1. King of Baking, Kim Tak Gu (a.k.a. Bread, Love and Dreams) - 2010

Casts: Yoon Shi Yoon, Joo Won, Eugene, LeeYoung Ah

Episodes: 30

This one is exceptional. I've heard about it since years ago, but never made myself to watch it. Reason: they are new actors I've never seen before and, at the time, I was into other things (2008-2011 is the time of my hiatus periods as kdrama-addict, I may say). Besides, I thought it would be a drama with cliche from kitchen-setting drama: some used-to-be-famous bakery, which almost broke down; the boss would be some cold-genious baker, who ended up with one of his ordinary workers; love triangle; unrecuited love; and so on.

I was NEVER so wrong before.

It took me 3 years to finally touch its first episode. What makes me decided to watch it, you ask? It's Joo Won! Well, to be honest, earlier this year I almost watch KTG after I finished "Flower Boy Next Door" (another drama with Yoon Shi Yoon and Park Shin Hye as the leads). Yes, Yoon Shi Yoon almost became the reason I watch KTG. But his charms wasn't enough to make me take down all its 30 episodes.

Later, when I'm already owned by Joo Won and I've watched everything of his but this one, I finally clicked the 'play'-button. I thought, I have even seen all 58 episodes of "Ojakgyo Brothers" for Joo Won, why couldn't I watch a 30 episodes drama, which was his first work on TV and was so famous, it became his 'small' breakthrough. Actually, I was a little bit afraid, that I might hate him after watching KTG because he's supposed to be the bad man. But again, I was wrong! xD

It is actually a story about life itself with breads and baking on the background, of course.

My Addiction to K̶o̶r̶e̶a̶n̶ ̶D̶r̶a̶m̶a̶s̶ Joo Won ♥

I may live in Germany right now, an official western country where people naturally have blonde hair, high nose, and deep green eyes. BUT, this asian minds and heart of mine still and will always be captured with those beautiful people in our huge eastern continent. Yes, those handsome, dark haired and small eyed men out there. To be exact, they live in Korea. 

I know, I might seem not so patriotic to be completly crazy-freak over men from another country, sooo much more, instead of any indonesian actors (hey, I love Nicholas Saputra and... Nope. Just him). Who's to be blamed? If only indonesian actors and actresses have like a half of dedication these actors from Korea (or any other country with blooming, successful film industry) in any of their works, I might turn my eyes and watch them a little bit more. And also these indonesian film makers should be more creative in making stories. I mean, most of time I could guess the story just by seeing the uncreative titles. 

To be fair, not all indonesian cinematographers are sucks. Some of them are exellent, that means they don't do TV-dramas or, just like we call it in indonesian, sinetron. There are many indonesian movies worth watching. :)

Anyway, I'd like to write about my recent KDramas-addiction. 

Lübeck im Herbst

Herbst ist immer die schönste Zeit des Jahres.

Die braune Blättern sehen viel wärmer als der weiße Schnee im Winter aus. 

Ich hatte heute eine gute Laune und mochte unbedingt ein bisschen spazieren gehen. Die letzte Vorlesung für heute war schon fertig und ich wollte nicht gleich zuhause gehen. 

Leider war das Wetter schlecht.

Es regnete viel und die Straße war mit den gefallenen Blättern bedeckt.

Jeder wurde auf jeden Fall nass und seine Schuhe wurden verschmutzt.

Trotzdem fuhr ich in die Stadt mit dem Bus und habe einige Fotos gemacht. War allein und hatte eigentlich keinen Plan, wohin zu gehen, ich hatte eine schöne Zeit. 

Hier sind die Fotos von Lübeck im Herbst :) Ich habe die Farben ein bisschen verbessert.

Quote: Bridal Mask

Hey, this is one of the best quotes in Bridal Mask. 

-Episode 14

In the underground room, where the people are tortured, Lee Kang To asked Damsari about the reason they insisted to fight againts the Japanese Empire, although all of their forces seemed to be useless. 

"Isn't that like hiting a boulder with an egg?" said Kang To. 

And here is how Damsari answered: 

"I suppose it looks reckless of course.
One eggshell, such a trivial thing, will probably just shatter on the boulder.
However, no matter how strong a boulder is, it's dead.
While, no matter how weak an egg is, it's alive.
As time passes, a boulder will break and become sand.
But, someday, a chick will hatch from an egg and step on that sand." 

It makes me thingking about my life so far and all of the hardships. It tells us not to give up and keep fighting because someday, the good time will surely come.. :') 

King Of Baking, Kim Tak Gu - Goo Ma Jun and Shin Yu Kyung Cuts Collections

My favorite couple is here!! xD 

Although the drama was aired like 3 years ago, I've just finished all 30 episodes 2 weeks ago. 

It's. Really. Highly. RECOMMENDED!!!

More infos about the drama King of Baking, Kim Tak Gu

For the first time, I support 100% the antagonist character, Goo Ma Jun. It's bias, of course, because it's Joo Won!! Damn, his acting skills is undoubtly classy and real good. 

 *SPOILERS ALLERT*

Though majority hope Yu Kyung will end up with Tak Gu, I sincerely hope she'll choose Ma Jun. And thank God, she does! I can't explain how happy and satisfied I was :'D.

Ma Jun has experienced such difficult pain since his childhood, I can't imagine how he'll be if he didn't get Yu Kyung. He deserved to be happy!!

Good Doctor cut Ep. 18 (ENG) - If I Were

I'm so speechless, trying to explain how I feel about this scene... 

It's just so sweet, yet sad. 

You know, when everything started with "what if".

Just how beautiful it will be, if...

But the fact that her feelings has overcome all of his flaws, it's totally wonderfully beautiful. :)  

So happy for Park Shi On and Cha Yoon Seo :P

Ketika Kau dan Aku Berjumpa Lagi

Ketika langkahmu dan langkahku

membawamu dan aku tuk berjumpa lagi

akan ada derai tawa bergaung dari hati

dan nostalgia yang terujar riang

Tengkar lama jadi lawak

Romantis dulu jadi lelucon

Luka hati hanyalah bekas

Kita akan berjumpa nanti

bukan sekarang

saat hati ini masih berteriak

dan mata ini masih mencari

hanya kamu

Kita akan berjumpa kembali

ketika apa yang kurasa sama seperti dulu

Sebelum mata beradu

Sebelum cinta terucap

Saat kau dan aku bukanlah kita

Ya, ketika apa yang kini masih menjadi tiada

kau dan aku akan bertemu

dan kita akan baik-baik saja

Ada Satu Masa

Ada satu masa, dimana inspirasi selalu datang tanpa diminta

Saat tangan menari lembut di atas kertas,

senada dengan hati dan pikiran

Saat apa  yang bibir tak dapat ucap, diungkap aliran tinta,

membentuk baris demi baris kata dan kalimat

Ada satu masa, dimana hanya manis terasa

Saat ada bahu untuk bersandar

Saat ada telinga yang selalu mendengar

Ada satu masa, dimana semua perlahan berubah

Saat mata tak lagi melihat

Saat bibir tak lagi mau bicara

Saat tulisan tak lagi mampu tarikan tarian hati

Saat pengertian berbalik arah, memendam rindu, mengubur rasa

Kita terlalu sibuk untuk mengerti yang tak terucap

Hingga yang ada tak lagi terkecap

Apa yang kita punya memang harus dijaga

Tapi bukan dalam peti emas berkunci perak, lalu ditinggal sendiri

menunggu dibuka saat raga ini kembali

Harusnya ia didekap dekat dengan hati,  

agar ia terus tumbuh hingga sulur-sulurnya menjalin,

menghubungan jarak di antara dua hati dalam satu ikatan mati

Hingga tak perlu lagi saling tunggu

karena aku selalu denganmu

Arti 50€

Hari ini cukup bersejarah buat gue, soalnya hari ini adalah hari dimana semua tugas gue untuk semester perdana ini selesai xD. Tinggal fokus belajar untuk ujian minggu depan. Toi toi toi!

Tugas terakhir yang baru saja gue tuntaskan itu tentang AutoCAD, tau kan... Program computer untuk menggambar-menggambar gitu. Secara gue gaptek dan paling anti sama program yang berkode-kode, bisa nyelesain satu aja hepinya luar biasa :)) Hehehe...

Setelah menyelesaikan tugas laknat yang gue kerjain dua hari itu, gue bersih-bersih kamar dan bersih-bersih diri: nyuci baju, nyapu, ngepel, ganti sprei dan selimut. Kinclong dah.

Minggu ini sendiri juga bermakna buat gue, selain bikin gempor gara-gara tugas yang deadline semua.

Hari Senin yang lalu, teman sekelas gue, sebut saja D, ngajakin belajar bareng. Sebenernya dia minta dibantuin bikin gambar buat tugas Entwerfen (gue nggak tau bahasa Indo-nya, pokoknya semacam presentasi gitu dengan model dan desain bangunan yang kita bikin). Gue sih oke-oke aja, selain gue emang demen tugas yang gambar-gambar, gue pikir lumayan juga buat latihan deutsch.

Meet Helga and Sigi

Seperti yang sudah dijanjikan, dalam posting-an satu ini, gue akan cerita awal mula gue bertemu dengan Helga dan Sigi. :)

***

Sekitar pertengahan bulan Mei yang lalu, malam hari, gue dapet telepon mendadak dari seorang kawan dekat, Rendi. Rendi ini sudah seperti abang gue, kita pertama kenalan pas les bahasa Jerman di Goethe tahun 2011 yang lalu. Rendi sekarang tinggal di München, sementara gue di Lübeck. Jauhnya itu, jauh banget deh. Gue di ujung Utara, Abang di Selatan.

Isi percakapan telepon itu adalah sebagai berikut (biru: Abang Rendi; merah: gue)

"Dek, rumah lo deket Dresden nggak?"

"Beh, jauh banget, Bang."

"Ohh, jauh ya? Gue kira deket."

"Jauh, Bang. Gue 'kan udah pindah. Dulu waktu masi di Halle sih deket. Rumah Cici gue 'tuh masih di Halle."

That White Chocolate

Hari ini indah.

Pagi-pagi, sekitar jam 10, gue naik bus ke ZOB (semacam terminal pusat dimana bus dari semua jurusan ngumpul). Hari ini gue punya janji sama Helga dan Sigi. Oma-Opa ini gue kenal di bus, dan mereka adalah Deutsche teramah yang pernah gue kenal. Cerita lengkap gimana gue ketemu mereka, akan gue bahas lain waktu. :)

Semua rencana jalan-jalan kami bertiga hari ini dirancang oleh Helga, seperti biasa. Mulai dengan mengunjungi kebun yang selalu dibanggakannya, sampai bersantai di pantai.

Sampai ZOB, gue masih perlu jalan sedikit ke Hauptbahnhof  (stasiun pusat), tempat ketemuan kami. Rencananya, hari ini kita mau ke Travemünde naik kereta. Helga dan Sigi sudah menunggu di depan stasiun dan menyambut gue dengan pelukan hangat. Setelah bertukar kabar sedikit, gue diajak ke toko roti untuk beli sarapan. Sepanjang perjalanan, mereka bergantian cerita tentang Lübeck dan sekitarnya, tentang keluarganya, dan lainnya.

Some Quotes

Here are some quotes I wrote in Twitter (I just felt full of inspiration yesterday :P). All the quotes related to the fictional books I love. Check it out!

***

Life is like Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. You can taste sweet like honey, until it gives you the taste of rotten egg. #PotterHead

Love is like the magic wand, it chooses you. #PotterHead

You are like my hocrux. A piece of me died when you're gone. #PotterHead

If Hogwarts is real, any wizards who see this tweet, please, "Obliviate" me. #PotterHead

At the time like this, I hope Dumbledore or Aslan will show up from nowhere, because it means he has answers and helps.

I'm like a Gollum and you're Sauron's ring, because you are "my precious".

Being with you is like catching the snitch. It ends the game. #PotterHead

I think I know what will boggart shows when it sees me: myself, alone, without you. #PotterHead

I hope I could find love like Snape's love for Lily, that is so strong until he could unconsciously change his Patronus into a doe, although he's not the deer.  #PotterHead

What would I see right now on the Mirror of Erised is you.  #PotterHead

Mr. Big - To Be With You

Hold on, little girl
Show me what he's done to you
Stand up, little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on, baby, come on over
Let me be the one to show you

I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you'll feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues 
Just to be the next to be with you

Build up your confidence 
So you can be on top for once
Wake up. Who cares about little boys 
That talk too much?
I've seen it all go down
The game of love was all rained out
So come on, baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you

I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you'll feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues 
Just to be the next to be with you

Why be alone when we can be together, baby?
You can make my life worth while
I can make you start to smile
When it's through, it's through
And fate will twist the both of you
So come on, baby, come on over
Let me be the one to show you

I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you'll feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues 
Just to be the next to be with you

I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you'll feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues 
Just to be the next to be with you

Just to be the next to be with you
