The Wish

     Again, today I'll write about the man who are inspiring me so much. I won't write about Jason Mraz. No. It's about a Japanese badminton player, Shintaro Ikeda.

     Last night was a very special night for me. The beautiful wife of Shintaro Ikeda started to follow me on twitter. I can't believe that. I know she is a warm-hearted women and a very friendly one. A few weeks ago, in Valentine's day, I sent a happy valentine greeting to her and she replied my message. I was so happy about that.

     This morning, I got a reply in my tab mention on twitter from her, the beautiful one, Mako-chan. She said that she thanked me for supporting her husband all this time.

     By reading her reply, I start to remember a video about Shintaro Ikeda. That video, probably, a project video from a Japanese singer, named Gille. I'm not sure about that. That video has written in Japanese language and only there is some words written in English. I guess that the song is about the spirit of life. Because the title of the song in that video is "Try Again".

     At the beginning of the song, Shintaro said something that I don't even understand the meaning of what he said. When I saw his eyes and the way he talked, I felt that my eyes were getting hot. My tears came down to my cheeks, I didn't know why. I just feel so emotional every time I watch that video, 'though I don't understand the meaning of the song and what Shintaro said in that song. I just become so emotional by watching that video. I cried.

     There is so many badminton players in this planet and Indonesia has soooooo many talented inspiring players, but I choose Shintaro Ikeda, papa Junnosuke, to be my inspiration. He is talented, he is warm, he is kind to people, he is a young daddy who loves his family so much, and he is whom I looking for. He is inspiration. So what more I want?

     June 3th, I'm going to be 24. I have so many wishes that I will send to my dear God in that day. Seeing Shintaro Ikeda back to the badminton court is one of my 24th birthday wishes.

     Being in that level of admiration, I feel that I am inspired to work harder and cherish everything I get.

     Someday, if my beautiful God finally opens my fate to meet him (and also his wife and his cute son), I will tell him how much I admire him, how much he inspires me all along, and when my dream to face his face comes true, I can die as a happy person.

     So, dear God, my Mother Nature who sets the nature setting, I believe that my dreams will come true if I believe in my dreams. I am dreaming of facing my inspiration, Shintaro Ikeda, I believe in my dream, so I am sure that it will be true.

See you, Shintaro...
