Laskar Pelangi?

I found these photos when I was doing some housekeeping on my computer. Circa 1997-2001, SMAPK.

Heh... do we look like some sort of 'Laskar Pelangi'? The characters in that novel (or film) had a very tough times wading through their life, and in no way that what we had in SMAPK were anywhere close. But, I think the greatest test of all - the very dining hall servers one-week-menu ie. if today you're having chicken curry, veggie soup and some papaya, you'll be having it the same day every week until they change the dining hall contractor - and it's like forever waiting for it!


Now the condition has improved, in fact I heard it is 3-week-menu or even 4! What a bless!



Mimpi adalah kunci
untuk kita menaklukkan dunia
Berlarilah tanpa lelah
sampai engkau
meraihnya

Laskar pelangi
takkan terikat waktu
Bebaskan mimpimu di angkasa
Warnai bintang di jiwa

Menarilah dan terus tertawa
Walau dunia tak seindah syurga
Bersyukurlah pada Yang Kuasa
Cinta kita di dunia
selamanya...

Cinta kepada hidup
Memberikan senyuman abadi
Walau ini 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 syurga
Bersyukurlah pada Yang Kuasa
cinta kita di dunia
selamanya...
