Lonely is the night

"Lonely is the night when Im not with you
Lonely is the night aint no light shining through
Till youre in my arms till youre here by my side
Lonely am I..."


* Taken from the song of Lonely is the night

** Suddenly I remember those days when I was in the Junior High. I really really loved this song, everyday when I got home from school I always had the cassette of Air Supply played in my tape deck. Then I locked my room, sang the song out loud, looked out the window... thinking about my life in the next ten or twenty years.

15 years later, early this year, when I was in Jakarta for a holiday, my father was driving and in his CD player sung this song, he said to me, "I remember when you were a teenager, you used to sing this song out loud"... Hahahaha, I was laughing bitterly... But I also was surprised that my father still remember about this song. Then what did I do in this last 15 years?

Year 1 to 5: Graduated from Junior High, High School, and was in the Diploma school.
Year 6 to 10: Graduated from Diploma, working, and was in the University for my Bachelor Degree.
Year 11 to 15: Working, graduated from University, working, moved to Singapore, was in the Master School, graduated from Master school, working, become a writer, still in Singapore.

Hope the next five years will be a lot better.

Then, how many boyfriends I have for this 15 years? HA! Hehehehehe.


"I can make it through the day
I can fake it okay
I just smile and pretend
And I tell myself I'll be alright

But lonely is the night..."
