Tak Perlulah aku Mengelilingi Dunia…

That is at least after my recent trip to Indonesia and after watching the most amazing movie called Laskar Pelangi. This might sound unacceptable to some, but after 12 days travelling from Jakarta to Middle Java and back, enough to make me fall in love with the nation, well, that is another story.

As for Laskar Pelangi, it was certainly different from the normal cheesy Malay/Indo love theme flick shown one after another. Even though Love also being the big part of this feature, the story about those Belitong kids keeping up with education and modernization with two feet held firmly on the ground manage to make me cried few times (although trying hard to hold back). Andrea wrote a beautiful story that the movie might not capture its best, but a very good job indeed. Kudos. Every scene touch my heart dearly. Even cooler that Nidji were chosen to write the movie’s OST. The song is so poetic and equally beautiful, enough to give me goose bump every time I hear it.

Laskar Pelangi
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mimpi adalah kunci untuk kita menaklukkan dunia
Berlarilah tanpa lelah, sampai engkau meraihnya
Laskar pelangi...Takkan terikat waktu.
Bebaskan mimpimu di angkasa, raih bintang di jiwa
Menarilah dan terus tertawa, walau dunia tak seindah surga
Bersukurlah pada yang kuasa, cinta kita di dunia
Selamanya...
Cinta kepada hidup, memberikan senyuman abadi
Walau hidup kadang tak adil, tapi cinta lengkapi kita
Laskar pelangi…Takkan terikat waktu
Jangan berhenti mewarnai, jutaan mimpi di bumi
Menarilah dan terus tertawa, Walau dunia tak seindah surga
Bersukurlah pada yang kuasa, cinta kita di dunia
Selamanya...
