Aku sama seperti mereka dan kalian
Ingin menjadi sempurna, walau tak mungkin
Atau setidaknya selalu lebih baik dari kemarin
Kalau kalian melihat aku penuh pencitraan
Do'akan semoga kelak menjadi kenyataan

Yang Tak Terdefinisikan

Author : Sintia Gumara

Malamku selalu disibukkan oleh kata nyaman
Meski aku tak pernah berhasil mendefinisikan
Aku hanya bisa merasakan
Dingin yang mendekapku penuh kehangatan
Jangan lepaskan

Meski ada satu yang aku takutkan
Aku tak pernah berani melempar tatapan
Ah, aku tidak ingin menjelaskan

Sejujurnya aku ingin menuliskan perasaan
Yang sebenarnya tak bisa tertuangkan
Tapi percayalah ini keindahan
Aku berusaha mengabaikan yang aku takutkan
Sebab aku percaya nyatanya kasih Tuhan

Kepada Senja

Author : Sintia Gumara

Senja
Kepadanya aku berguru cinta
Untuk kemudian menerbangkanku dalam dunia tawa
Aku bahagia
Dan berlama-lamalah aku disana

Hingga tiba masa senja bercerita
Bahwa hidup tidak melulu tentang ha ha ha
Lalu senja meniada

Seakan senja menyapa tiba-tiba
Membawa pesan bernada; Jangan terlalu asik dengan senja
Aku sepakat dengannya

Ini di luar logika

Tak selamanya kehilangan menyisakan lara
Teka-teki senja pun tiba menyapa
Dan aku tak bisa membalas sapaannya
Karena rasa tak mungkin dingin dengan tiba-tiba

Kepada senja, tentang goresan yang belum kau eja

sgd

Sejak hari itu, berawal dari aku harus memaksa diri untuk menghalalkan adanya jarak. Aku membiarkan yang ingin dekat menjadi dekat; meski aku harus jauh dan benar-benar jauh. Kata kita benar, akan butuh waktu yang lebih lama untuk kita akan biasa (lagi).

Percayalah; rasa tak mungkin tiba-tiba beranjak dingin.

Benar-benar tiada selisihnya dengan hujan.

Gemar sekali tiba tiba-tiba.

Juga hilang suka-suka.

Mawar Titipan 1

Seseorang menitipkan mawarnya di tanganku.

Entah bodoh atau apa.

Aku menjaganya sampai layu dan durinya melukaiku.

Teruntuk Malaikat

Author : Sintia Gumara

aku terlalu sibuk mengejakan kesemuan cinta

sampai aku mendiamkan cinta yang nyata

tapi bukan tak peka

cintamu tak cukup hanya dituangkan dalam kata berpola

bukan tak mempesona

sebab sudah delapan ribu tingkat di atas sempurna

kasihmu suci dan tak pernah menipu

apapun engkau pertaruhkan untuk kedamaian hidupku

tidak akan ada yang mampu membayar pengorbananmu

kata terimakasih takkan sanggup menebus juangmu

tiada seorangpun pantas membuatmu sendu

apalagi menangis pilu

sekalipun itu aku

ini puisi dariku teruntuk ibu

malaikat Tuhan yang jauh di atas sempurna

Hati dan Kopi

Author : Mas Tito

Hatimu ibarat kopi

Begitu istimewa bagi jutaan jiwa

Tapi percuma, bila baristamu tak mengerti

Bagaimana cara menyeduhmu dengan benar

Meski engkau berasal dari hasil terbaik

Di tanah tersubur

Sama seperti ketika engkau menyerahkan hatimu

Kepada mereka yang tak tahu, bagaimana cara memperlakukanmu

Hand Gestures (Indonesia)

Hey, folks! Today, we (me, Gita, Rachella, and Mawas) are going to show you some common hand signs or gestures that are mostly used here in our country, Indonesia. Hand gestures are really helpful when you are having trouble expressing some words to others, it feels really great if someone just gets it by what you mean by only signing your hand different way as each sign means different thing, cause you know, hand speaks! Hand gestures are also used to support you words while talking to others. Hand gestures reflect some etiquette and considered very important here in Indonesia. However, we don't recommend you to use certain hand gestures in another country or places as it could mean differently (rude). So, do you know how to speak with your hands in Indonesia?

1. I Heart U

This "I Heart You" gesture was initially popular among teenagers in some Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea. You just simply make the heart shape with your forefinger and the middle finger from both of your hands. This gesture is usually used to express someone's feeling and admiration towards someone else especially to say I Love U or to flirt someone.

2.  Cium Tangan

This is an Indonesian way to greet elders especially to your parents, relatives, teachers, and basically just someone who's OLDER than you. You use your right hand, hold their right hand, and put the back of their hand onto your forehead, or young kids like to kiss them. It is considered polite. This gesture is also commonly used when you are about to leave and ask for their permission.

 3. Salam / Apology

This gesture could mean a lot of things! Clasp your hand together in front of the chest while slightly bowing to greet someone. In Bali, this gesture is traced to Dharmic Añjali Mudrā. This gesture is also used to express apology when the hands are slightly raised from your chest. Indonesians used this gesture commonly in religious holidays to beg for forgiveness and bless the soul, such as Eid day and say #minalaidinwalfaidzin.

4. Be Quiet, Please

 This gesture is used when someone feels annoyed and disturbed and would like to tell someone to be quiet or don't make any noise. Put your forefinger in front of your mouth and #sssssttt... and the whole room will be quiet immediately like magic.

5. Mari / Monggo

This is a polite way to let someone enter the room or sit down. Make a thumbs-up sign with your thumb from both of your hands and point it to the spot where you let someone to enter. Usually used in a certain region/culture in Indonesia such as in Central Java and East Java.

 6. Everything's Gonna Be Okay

 

The gesture for OK is made by raising (usually the right) hand and forming a circle with the thumb and index finger. It means that everythingg is fine, it's all good or great sign. 

7. Thumbs Up

This gesture shows that you are agree with something/someone. This sign also means that someone is complimenting you because you are doing such a good job. However, in certain parts of the Middle East, thumbs-up is considered offensive/rude.

8. Thumbs Down!

 When you don’t agree/like with someone/something, you can use this gesture to show your opinion. That also means that you have to be real upset about things maaaaan.

9. Pointing

Meanwhile in Indonesia, pointing someone with your forefinger is extremely rude and insulting, so don't ever make this gestures towards someone. If elders point to someone who is far younger, it is less rude and fair. However, pointing towards something/direction is more polite but you have to do it smoothly and don't do it with sharp, strong movement. And always, use your RIGHT hand while pointing!

10. V Sign

A hand gesture in which forefinger and middle finger are raised and parted while the rest are folded. Generally considered a “Victory” sign, it can also mean the same as “peace". Some Asians put up the V sign when they have their picture taken because it is #cute and #kawaii. But if you happen to be in the United Kingdom, don’t ever make this sign when the back of your hand is facing away from you if you don't want to get in trouble. You’ve been warned. 

11.  Stop

When you flash your palm at someone, you want them to pause or stop. You can do this while anyone is speaking and they will almost instantly be quiet  or stop moving. However, in Indonesia, using this gesture to elders is considered impolite. 

12. Me! Present! Pick Me! Senpai, Please Notice Me!

Raise your hand when you are desired to be volunteered or choosen, usually when in a large group of people. While raising your hand, you also can shout "SENPAI PLEASE, NOTICE ME!” #jk

13. Air Quotes

 Air quotes, which are quotation marks made with the index finger of each raised hand, accompany speech and often express the opposite to what is said, because they are gestures and expression for sarcasm.

14. High Five!

 

This gesture is called as "Tos" in Indonesia. It is used when two people simultaneously raise one hand, about head-high. The other person responds with the same gesture and so their palms would meet and slap together. The meaning of this gesture varies with the context of use, including greeting, congratulations, and celebration.

15. Call Me!

It is the simplest way to say "call me". Raise your thumb and little finger while the rest fingers are folded. However, if you use this sign to someone you don't know, it means flirt, which is a bit nasty eww.

16. Pinky Promise

This gesture is for pinky swear, or to make a pinky promise, by join the little fingers (“pinkies”) of two people to signify that a promise has been made and they have to keep their promises. 

17. No, Not Like That! 

Forefinger's up! while the rest left folded. Then, move the finger from right to left for several times and yeah, it simply means disagreement, or expresses "Do not".

'Can I touch this painting?' 

'No.'

18. Take and Give

When the palm is upwards, it means that someone is asking for money or food (most commonly) / begging sign. It is also a pleading gesture of a street beggar and, used as a 'handover' gesture to offer to help and let someone talk.

19. Praying

As we know, Indonesia is a multicultural country that consists of different religions. Each religion has different praying practices and simply, the hand gestures while praying also differ. As a muslim-majority country, it is common to see people pray with their hands towards their face. The praying hand gestures are universal. Christians pray with their hands folded. Buddhists pray with palms held together at chest level (one of the gestures), Hindus, also clasp their hands while praying (one of the common practices).

Yeah, that still so many hand gestures that we commonly use here in Indonesia, but we think, that's all! Yeay.

Kamu dan Hujan

Author : Sintia Gumara

Balutan hujan fajar nan merdu

Membuat sang mentari enggan menyapa pagiku

Dan berlama-lamalah aku dengan kapuk-kapukku

Kuambil secarik kertas dan penaku

Kucoba mendeskripsikan hujan

Kutulis dengan perlahan

Ah, tak sehangat bahasa dekapan

Hanya mengingatkanku akan kehilangan

Melarutkanku dalam kesedihan

Memunculkan memori akan tatapan

Sudah kubertahan tapi diacuhkan

Hingga aku diam dan ditinggalkan

Seperti hujan yang tiba tiba-tiba

Juga hilang suka-suka

Wajar bila hujan dan kamu itu sama

Hanya bisa mempermainkan rasa

Dan membasahkan mata
