sleep?

I’ve been not getting enough sleep. But there is no cure and there is no way around it. School’s been tough and I don’t even have time to properly eat or rest. Let alone spending time with my gf. It’s really a sucky feeling not being able to even have lunch with her though we’re in the same location. Every time that I met her I just wish that she would hug me and we would go and do our own thing again. At least the hug will cure the tiredness a bit and give a bit more strength to each other.

No time, really no time…. there’s not even a time to talk to her properly, or complain to her about things happening around me, there’s just no time.

I wish exam will go away soon ….. 

ps: sorry for the guys that i’ve been ignoring or pushed away (schedule-wise), I can’t afford to do anything else guys …. there’s just not enough time…

I was accompanying Iris to her ‘work’ accompanying violin exam student yesterday. We were walking down to Cristofori in funan. When we walk through the teaching studios with names and were walking calmly until we see something very familiar ..

how I wanted to love you

After 1 month being together, I’ve found more things that I love about you, and I found more things as well that can upset both of us. I hope that we will always continue to learn about each other and understand each other more. Thank you darling, you’ve always in my heart =)

 Love never gives up. 
 Love cares more for others (you) than for self (me). 
 Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have. 
 Love doesn’t strut, 
 Doesn’t have a swelled head, 
 Doesn’t force itself on others, 
 Isn’t always “me first,” 
 Doesn’t fly off the handle, 
 Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others, 
 Doesn’t revel when others grovel, 
 Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, 
 Puts up with anything, 
 Trusts God always, 
 Always looks for the best, 
 Never looks back, 
 But keeps going to the end.

1 corinthians 13 : 3-7  ~ The Message Bible ~

That’s how I wanted to love you honey,

I love you … Aku sayang kamu =)



an unusual day
February 18, 2009, 2:10 pm
Filed under: Uncategorized

Today, my activity was a bit different than my usual busy day. It’s all caused by the sudden cancellation of Improvisation class at 11.30. Because there isn’t a single day these past few weeks when I leave home after 9. It will always be around 7-8am, and I’ll be on my way to school.

I think the cancellation of the class has made me feel rather lazy. I didn’t have the mood to do anything this morning, and just laze around the house, talking with housemates and enjoying the time.

Another reason for the laziness is because of my dear’s busy activity today, where she had lesson in the morning, quartet performance in the afternoon, and dance rehearsal which was continued with a throng of classes. I knew that I’ll have to get away and change my own schedule because of all that.

My own classes starts at 2 and now I’m sitting in for dear’s rehearsal trying to do my work (which of course ended up with blogging). Seeing dear dancing is a rare beautiful occasion which I enjoy but an activity which worries me a lot as well. I always worried when she does some fast dance and dangerous moves. But anyways, the only thing I asked from her is that she be careful. =)

Ah, my class is starting now, and Ragha is not here yet so we can’t start. But i gotta go now. Lazy day ….



Post Valentine’s Celebration

Today was very fruitful as we actually spends our time in the garden and talk a lot, and just spending time enjoying each other’s company. Laze around under the shades surrounded by beautiful scenery and cool summer breeze.

I was watching her closely as I want to remember her reaction when she opened her present. A box filled with a cube-frame-box, a tiny teddy bear, chocolata, and of course the bouquet of rose which I gave earlier. To her surprise (i guess? been tryin to make her think that I was forcefully needed to brought my guitar with me) I told her that I wrote her a song, and this song was my main present for her.

 

My Valentine

when i try to find a gift for you to show my love
I can’t decide which one to give to you
should i get the roses, the teddy bear, or chocolata
I want to get something that speaks my love to you

I look around and walk around until I make my round
Still can’t decide which one (is) the best for you
I don’t think the roses, the teddy bear, or chocolata
there isn’t a single thing that speaks my love to you

and I can’t find you anything
that show you how much i love you
so I made this song for you
to tell you, to let you know

My Valentine, you are the one that fills my life
You are the sun that shines and give the warmth I need
My Valentine, I hope you feel the love I have for you
And trust me that I love you, and it’s true my Valentine

when i know how did you feel and you had fear about my love
and you think you’re just a replacement or bein used
that you don’t feel safe, you feelin scared, and feel uncertain
oh darlin please don’t let your heart doubt my love for you

cuz I know what I do feel inside is not a simple love
not tryin to replace or to make use of such a pure heart
i have think so much, and pray about it, and have decided
that I will love you with all my heart and

Pre-Chorus

Chorus 2x

 

I love you darling =) and thank you for being my valentine.

ps: I love your present as well! Love Love!



Valentine’s Day

My girlfriend having a blog makes me decide to start blogging again. It’s a pity if I don’t actually use this space I’ve created. So I proclaimed, that “Ivan starts blogging again Today!”

—- ~ —-

today is valentine’s day, and I still have around 40 minutes before it all ends.

It’s amusing how all the people in Orchard was really hype about valentine. In Orchard road alone, there are more than 5 group selling Roses with a super high price, and couples everywhere with their balloon, bouquet of flower, etc etc. So happy seeing people happy.

For me, even though it’s valentine’s, and i got a girlfriend, but we didn’t even meet today. We don’t really believe in the day itself and think of it as a heavily advertised and hyphened day, and since both iRis got something on in church & rehearsal afterwards, we’ve decided to ‘celebrate’ valentine tomorrow, which is 15th of Feb. Not the day St. Valentine passed away, but 1 day after. =)

I guess, for us … valentine’s is everyday that we shared together loving each other and enjoying each other’s company. Can’t wait for tomorrow, will be spending time with her in between our almost equally busy schedule.

and for the rest of you, Happy Valentine’s Day! Share the Love!

ps: i still got to do some preparation … sshhh!



10 fakta tentang Ivan!
November 28, 2008, 3:08 am
Filed under: Uncategorized

Ini smua terjadi karena Dian diberi peer oleh koko-nya yang edol cakep untuk bikin ginian. So akhirnya terlimpahkanlah tugas mulia ini kepadaku. Karena masi lom mau tidur and masi ada waktu, and juga dikarenakan ivan berkesimpulan bahwa orang2 blom begitu kenal sama mahluk yang namanya ivan,

inilah 10 fakta tentang dirikuw:

1. Ivan sangat suka dengan yang namanya musik.

Bisa dilihat passion-nya ivan dengan meng-analisa apa yang ivan kerjakan sekarang. Skolah penuh waktu di bidang Jazz piano, dan bekerja paruh waktu sebagai guru piano pop dan classical. Musik Musik Musik, gak peduli tipe musik-nya apa, asal musik-nya bagus, Ivan pasti suka. Genre musik favourite adalah: Jazz, Fusion, Funk, Latin, Hiphop, R&B, Soul.

2. Ivan bisa bermain hampir smua 5 family of instrument

which is (in order of merit): Piano (keyboard instrument), Drums (Percussive Instrument), Guitar & Bass (Stringed Instrument), Violin (Stringed Instrument), and a weee wee lil wee bit of saxophone =P (I’m lacking in wind instrument section!)

3. Punya koleksi CD yang bejibun

sampe gak tau mau di kemanain and mau disimpen di mana, and gak tau kalo pulang ke indonesia gimana =P … untungnya (ato ga untungnya) skarang lagi gak gitu punya banyak doku buat beli CD, jadi koleksi tidak begitu bertambah … hehehe

4. Suka yang namanya Quality Time

Dengan siapapun, suka spending quality time together, so if you want to spend time with me, don’t even consider watching movies, cuz that’s the most anti-social activity ever!

5. But I like to watch movie juga!!!

so I need to watch movies, hehehe … and I do like Film Scoring and bercita2 untuk suatu waktu and hari, mau nulis banyak film scoring and do well in that area…. 

6. Loves present actually ….

but a present that shows effort.. If it took effort to find, took effort to make, to sacrifice to buy, I will actually be very happy and glad and thank the person. And love em =) but if it’s just some anyhow buy anyhow cheap present … you might as well don’t give it to me. The sincerity, planning and effort counts the most for me, in anything. Unfortunately, I’ve not been receiving any present on my birthday since i dunno when …. this year, i only got 1 shirt (loves it) 1 cufflinks, and 1 cake….

7. Loves Anime and Manga!!!

Ooooooh, I really doooo … i don’t know how I will live without those two =P

8. Loves to hang out with people, and just chill.

But dislike the situation where there’s so many people (or so little people) that I need to struggle and fight just to have a chance to talk. That’s why I prefer smaller group of people compare to large group of people hanging out together.

9. Am quite good in electronic stuff, recording stuff and basically computer stuff.

Was the president of computer club once in high-school before I decided to pursue music as my career and passion.

10. Likes to COOK!

Yesh! if you want to eat some western or especially italian food?! come! I’ll cook for you (as long as you pay the ingredients =P) it’s a pleasure to see people eat my food and enjoys it, and be happy because of the good food. My speciality is Italian (can’t say it’s authentic though) and my mum’s recipe. Delicioso!! 

so that’s it! … 10 facts about me! hope you understand me a little bit better =)
