Where Is The Love?

"But what is love?

An immoral force that justifies any end?

Or a commitment to society's true values,

such as the family and tradition?"

--Paulo Coelho (The Witch of Portobello)

Come Together, Go Beyond

Every journey has its own way of beginning.

For us, it all started here..

The home we were soon to leave...only for a moment.

A moment of life, a moment of joy, a moment of self-actualization.

A moment of experience.

A life-changing experience.

 Did I say we traveled 8416 miles?

Thousands of miles away from the ones we love

Thousands of miles away from the ones who truly care about us.

Or thousands of miles away from our comfort zone?

Oh well..

 Maple Maple in the sky,

How I wonder..wait! There you are!

Just a few above me.

There you are; waving.

Down to the downtown. Here we go.

International recognition is one of the greatest way to

make you love your alma mater more.
Doesn't it feel good knowing that they once typed
your university's name?
And thankfully they weren't typo?

Dear friends,
Once you get older,
Just remember we were once sitting together
and be the witnesses of the magnificence of this Orpheum Theater.

 Welcome to Canada Place.

A place where you can see the outstanding, natural view of this city.

A place where you can feel the fresh air of coast and mountains.

All offered at the same time.

Moderated caucus. Unmoderated caucus.

Working Paper(s). Draft Resolution(s).

All happened in this room.

"All countries in favor please raise your placard."

Hey, my convention center has a backyard.

Wanna see?

"Universitas Padjadjaran Delegation for World Model United Nations 2012"

One of the best teams I have ever been a part of.

"Cause baby we are fireworks. Come on show 'em what we got."

Firework party as part of a closing has never failed me.

And there, we were once watching this together.

"Work hard, play harder"

The conference might have come to an end,

but who says our journey, too?

Do you remember

when was the last time you cannot decide which way to go?

Me neither.

Cause in the end,

everything, every man with every breath taken,

to the nature we will always come to as our final destination.

There is always space for creativity.

Even in the cleanest park, the Stanley Park.

Yes, we need more.

...

Oh, and with no Bieber.

This is home.

Where else you expect you can find

rendang, soto, tekwan and anything all together in one place?

This place and its people has the best hospitality I have ever found.

Have I said I was first-timer to snow?

Well, nothing is as white as snow.

Not even Marilyn Monroe's legendary white dress.

Where do you think you should go 

when no matter which direction your feet take you to

can only provide you more beauty of the nature?

It was St. Patrick's Day on March 17.
A day before we left the city.

Celebration was everywhere. City parade down the streets.

Make sure you wear your best green outfit.

The old Gastown offers night lights anyone can never resist.

One of the places I would like to visit again.

And the last place we visited was...

Capilano Suspension Bridge!

The place which had been on my list since the first day I was announced

as one of the delegates.

And I made it there!

With every step taken,

and every 'turbulence' the bridge made,

Acrophobia has surely never been on my list.

The more 'turbulences' made, the happier I was.

Again, natural beauty.

Take a deep breath and enjoy the fresh air,
shall we?

Well,
Every journey has to come to an end.

With the thousands of miles we've taken,

every happy face captured in pictures,

every cent we've spent,

every lost-in-the-city we've experienced,

every single thing, in the end, was made only for us to understand.

To understand that there is so much bigger life out there.

The bigger life waiting for us to discover.

And once we've discovered it,

just remember,

that this team was once a part of your life.

"Come together, go beyond."

If Titanic was made by J.J Abrams, Michael Bay and George Lucas,

it would probably look a lot like this.

Did You?

Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
And you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Somebody
(I used to know)Now you're just somebody that I used to know
