Cisitu Indah 2/12
Special for today, I picked up the title from Bahasa Indonesia. It's not because today Mr. Jokowi is coming to Bandung (who cares?) or the concurrent election has just been held yesterday in every district of Indonesia (I choose to be absent, though). Merantau is one of Indonesian words that can't be translated better in English. It will be meaningless if I used the english version, imho. Such an absurd reason I knew it hahaha *evil smirk*
Merantau (verb): (1) Leave one's home area to make one's way in life. (2) Wander about. (3) Sail along the reaches of a riverI've stay in this town about more than 4 years, far from my parents, and try to do everything by myself. Thank God I still have financial and motivation support just like in my hometown, but the taste is different. Indeed, I've realized it since the first time I spent my night here, alone. And then now, it reached its peak. The academic duty has became a pressure inside my heads, overlapping life emotion, over thinking of everything , plus.... little bit unfavorable weather. Perfect. If my feeling was converted into an artwork, maybe this is the highest value of it.
