Bahagianya, membaca kembali tulisan sendiri

Membaca kembali tulisan-tulisan beberapa tahun lalu adalah bagian menyenangkan. Berbagai perasaan berkecamuk, karena waktu yang telah membuat lupa.  Rasa ingin tahu, misalkan; Ada tulisan yang bercerita mengenai seseorang tetapi identitas seseorang tersebut tidak dijelaskan secara gamblang,  jadinya saya bertanya-tanya, siapakah itu yang saya maksud? Oh usia, mengapa kau membunuh ingatanku perlahan? Apalagi kalau topik yang dibicarakan bersifat sensitive, soal perasaan misalnya. Ah, memang selalu soal perasaan yang tertulis di blog (hadeh, curhat banget) . Seperti puisi tanpa judul  berikut , saya masih bertanya-tanya untuk siapa puisi ini saya tulis. Sayang jika harus dilupakan, padahal saat itu mungkin pikiran saya pasti sedang galau berat, sampai mellow begitu M Kemudian rasa surprise , kok bisa ya saya bisa menulis seperti itu. Ada yang begitu mellow , puitis  dan ada pula yang alurnya tidak jelas. I am just finding that read your own ...

Office Hours 2

Well, last week was awesome. I met great people, the writers in Asean Literary Festival 2014 in Taman Ismail Marzuki. The first one was Mr. Dicky Senda, he was warm and nice while it was our first meeting. His book is Kanuku Leon, and I’ll write book review about it later. Lucky me, to have another great friend, Ms. Erni Aldjai, just googling her name, and you’ll find she is kind of famous in Indonesian literature. Her book is Kei and another several books , I also love her poems, aisshhh, how those simple words can be so touched or am I so melancholic?  .

Office hour

Everything in her table is a mess. The irregular paper without clips and maps lay down at the right beside the telephone. The drink bottle without its cover, while it looks new and branded lies between the body lotion and toilette tissue at the left corner. Neither family pictures nor friends in her desk like the others. She has three post cards.  The first one was from Thailand and the others from Italy. May she hopes to be abroad someday because it can be seen clearly compare to the other things which is not usual in office desk.  Next to the monitor, at the left one, there is a desk calendar. It looks like she doesn’t care of it, because it shows February while now we are in March. She has supplier notes and mechanic pencil in front of her, below the keyboard. Also there is a small circle mirror between the monitor and keyboard.  She is now working with her book, writing over and over instead of working with her computer or documents in her table because the chai...

Rent Room

Two weeks ago, I moved to a new rent room, still in West Jakarta. A very typical of many of rent rooms with doors closes beside each other. It is kind of strange because I used to have not a kind of rent room but it reminds me of my first dorm. The different is the distance between rooms opposite each other, here is too close while my first one was wider. Since March 2013, I rented one room, the room was pretty good, it is average and clean, no needed to buy mineral water provided by hosted. Well, we lived together with the hosted family, an old mother who lived with her children. Also they only rent rooms five rooms so it was not so crowded. I love silence by the way, but it is not so silence because house is beside the mosque. My new rent room offers what I need, a kitchen with many of stoves in there, washing machines and a wifi. I love the wifi, the speed is amazing but sometimes my IDM bar does not appear and also the netbook's touchpad is too sensitive L , it makes the ...
