Beneath The Surface

Dream Theater - Beneath The Surface

[Music and Lyrics by John Petrucci]

Is there ever really a right time? - You had led me to believe - Someday you'd be there for me

When the stars above aligned - When you weren't so consumed - I kept looking for the clues

So I waited in the shadows of my heart

And still the time was never right

Until one day I stopped caring - And began to forget why I longed to be so close

And I disappeared into the darkness - And the darkness turned to pain - And never went away

Until all that remained was buried, deep beneath the surface

A shell of what things could've been - Tired bones beneath a veil of guarded secrets all too frail
Sad to think I never knew - You were searching for the words - For the moment to emerge

Yet the moment never came

You couldn't risk my fragile frame

Until one day you stopped caring - And began to forget why I tried to be so close

And you disappeared into the darkness - And the darkness turned to pain - And never went away

Until all that remained was buried, deep beneath the surface

I would scream just to be heard - As if yelling at the stars - I was bleeding just to feel

You would never say a word - Kept me reaching in the dark - Always something to conceal

Until one day I stopped caring - And began to forget why I longed to be so close

And I disappeared into the darkness - And the darkness turned to pain - And never went away

Until all that remained was buried, deep beneath the surface

Beneath the surface

Ahli Madya

Aloha!!

Berjumpa lagi dengan saya, kali ini Marlin Akbar Nasution A.Md :">

Yak.. Sabtu kemarin gw wisuda. Gelar ahli madya sekarang resmi boleh ditaro di akhir nama gw.
Mulai cerita darimana ya? :-?
Oke, mulai aja daripada bingung.

Sabtu, 8 Oktober 2011, sekitar jam 7:35-an, dengan mengendarai motor, gw sampai di parkiran Balairung UI. Ya, PNJ wisudanya di Balairung UI. Rame. Sekitar 1.600-an mahasiswa diwisuda. Memasuki gedung, duduk, gw celingukan kanan-kiri. Mennn.. gw antusias tapi entah mengapa datar-datar aja. Gw duduk di bangku nomor 112, bisa dibilang peringkat itu gw dari 250-an mahasiswa di jurusan gw, karena urutan duduk berdasarkan IPK, dan IPK gw 3,1, tertinggi sejurusan sekitar 3,7-an, terendah ga tau.

Gw ngobrol sama orang di kanan-kiri gw ---yg ga begitu gw kenal--- sekenanya (eee... ga sekenanya juga, gw lumayan supel buat ngobrol sama orang yg baru kenal sekalipun, hahaha). Teman-teman seperjuangan kebanyakan duduk di belakang dan ada juga yang di depan. Pas acara mulai rada lengang gw nyempetin diri ke kursi belakang buat ngobrol + minjem hape karena hape gw mati.-___-

Selesai acara, gw nyari-nyari bokap-nyokap yang entah duduk di mana, soalnya berangkat masing-masing, jadi gw ga sempet tau bokap-nyokap duduk di mana. Karena matinya hp, nyaris setengah jam gw muter-muter mondar-mandir nyari mereka. Gw nyari-nyari temen buat minjem hape yang ternyata sama susahnya. Akhirnya gw ketemu juga ama bokap-nyokap. Gw diberi selamat ama bokap-nyokap, terus foto-foto bareng. :D

Yang bikin rada kentang (kena tanggung), yaa.. gw ga sempet poto-poto sama temen-temen sekelas dan seperjuangan gw. Kebanyakan mereka bareng sama keluarganya, jadi ga bisa berlama-lama. Hanya beberapa aja yg bisa poto bareng.

Ini graduation kelima buat gw. TK, SD, SMP, SMA, kuliah. Gw agak lupa pas jaman TK, perlu sedikit mengingat pas jaman SD, masih ingat pas jaman SMP, sangat ingat dan merindukan jaman SMA, dan suatu hari nanti gw juga bakal merindukan saat-saat berkuliah di sini, dengan teman-teman seperjuangan, tempat berbagi ilmu, waktu, cerita, kopi, dan kartu, di kelas PB 2008 Pagi (khususnya), Prodi Penerbitan, Jurusan Teknik Grafika dan Penerbitan, Politeknik Negeri Jakarta (umumnya).

Ah... I already miss it...
