Why I call it hidup ini indah

I guess I never really took the time to explain why I call this blog "Hidup Ini Indah". Well, it's named after a song in Dewa's newest album, "Laskar Cinta". Anyway, Dewa is one of my favorite Indonesian bands, and here's a pic of them that I love, 'cos it's so candid.

The song "Hidup Ini Indah" can be attributed to a lover, but I think it also makes sense as a tribute to God. Cos in it he says:

Hidup ini indah... bila ku selalu...
Ada di sisimu setiap waktu
Hingga aku hembuskan nafas
Yang terakhir... dan kita pun bertemu

I mean who else do you meet when you die but your Maker? But either way, it's nice to have this song dedicated to the one you love most.
