    …Maybe you need to tell someone, a certain person, or anyone, who can listen to you. It’s okay if he/she doesn’t understand what the hell you’re talking about. Because sometimes, people don’t know what we want, they don’t know the world inside our little head. Even the closest person to us has the slightest chance to ignore our rants.

    It is you, who truly knows yourself among 6 billions human inhabitants out there. Only you.

    overtaken

    in the life of an average senior at sman 3 bandung, after school you study. you go to a bimbel, intensif, konsultan pendidikan, or whatnot. you join tryouts and you gather as much tryout questions as possible. you buy a lot of books, all containing thousands of questions for the subjects you’re going to face at SIMAK, PMBP, USM, SMUP, UMB, SNMPTN or whatever variant of exams you choose.

    but i, my friend, am not an average joe. first of all, i am not Joe. secondly, i don’t go to bimbels. i have never joined a tryout. i failed in a regular year-twelve chemistry test. i think i’m getting nearly zero in a physics test. i have left school for a month and will do so again for another two months for WSDC.

    and i still wish to enter FTI ITB.

    i still wish to enter an arena full of approximately one-sixth of my class year who are aiming for the same major. an arena full of not only them, but hordes of people from around Bandung, around Java, even around Indonesia, who all wish to have one of the few hundred available slots at FTI.

    i must either be really smart, brave, or just plain crazy.

    i think it’s the last.

    whichever one i am, USM2 is coming in… seven months.

    i’d like to call that a short amount of time.

    federal 2.0

    for asdc, the government gave each member of the team a lot of money. well, paskibraka kids would get more for their monthly paycheck, but what we received was quite a lot.

    so what would we use it for?

    adit bought a blackberry. i think irfan’s gonna buy an ipod touch. i don’t know about everyone else,

    but what about me?

    i decided to spend it on my bike. originally i planned on buying a new bike, but at the end i decided to upgrade my existing bike.

    my original bike was a classic, a marine green federal cycle2000 with all the original components, except the saddle. it had a 3x6-speed Shimano SiS gear transmission system with original Araya spokes, and that’s all i remember.

    but it’s almost twenty years old, older than i am!

    it needed a refresh. it needed newness.

    so after a rather unfortunate crash with a motorcycle, i brought federal (its name, courtesy of malika, citrya and vira) to tenda biru and ordered an overhaul.

    i haven’t taken it back (i left my money at home), but once i fetch it tomorrow, it’ll be reborn.

    the frame is quite sturdy and i’m already quite used to how it feels like, so i’m keeping it intact. the handlebar and friends, the saddle too, those parts aren’t gonna be replaced.

    the Araya spokes are also still intact, since they’re quite good too (or at least according to the mechanic, lol). but i’m changing the tyres, which are already cracked for some reason. i’m also changing the spokewires (or whatever ‘jari-jari’ would mean in english) into some black ones, replacing the old rusty ones.

    the big change, however, will be its transmission. i’m upgrading it into an 8-speed one, also Shimano, but i forgot what the RD is called, hehe.

    sure, it might not be the best out there, but this is my first ever bike upgrade, and i’m using my own money for it.

    i so want to see federal 2.0!
