Longing

All I want to hear is ... The sound of DUG Followed by your miauw Sometimes it sounds weak or stable At other times it sounds as if you haven't eaten for weeks All I want to see is ... Your figure near my bathroom Drinking as if there's no tomorrow With that particular sound Of the encounter between your tongue and the water All I want to touch is ... Your soft fur When you're sleeping below the towel stand Or when you hide underneath my bed when there's a lightning or somebody you don't know All I ever want now is you to go back home I have prepared your towel so you can shower after your long adventure I have bought your favorite flavor of wet food - I've stored them in the fridge. And no, I won't mind just whatever amount you're eating so don't worry I have prepared your water just outside my bathroom so you can drink to your heart content This house is ready for you so you can sleep wherever you want to All I want, now, rea

13 Things I Miss About London

1. People speaking on the phone everywhere (almost literally), especially in the bus 2. People saying "excuse me", "Please", "Thanks", "Hi There" 3. People - especially men - opening and holding the door for you 4. The cold breeze 5. Walking in the rain, and suddenly your umbrella turns upside down 6. The cloudy sky (never thought I'd say this) 7. Studying in the library til midnight without anyone to bother you 8. The smell of coffee - first thing in the morning on your way to uni 9. The tourist 10. People speaking in a language you don't know (or know but don't speak) 11. The public transportation, going out at night or even early in the morning - and feeling safe 12. Variety of food - from various places around the world 13. Seeing bits of your homeland - like a becak in a market for example posting this picture, just because the name of the bank

I know, I haven't written much since I'm in Jogja. Nine months already. I'm writing this post to give another song recommendation, Korean again (what's wrong with that?). Click the caption for translation. This is a song for everyone who needs a mood booster, like I do. Enjoy!

Koma di Bandung (a note of a recent trip)

Oh well ... Been a while since the last time I wrote something here. It's been 3 months since I left London. Never expected I would one day miss the city this much. Meh. So, I just got back from a very short trip to Bandung with a good friend of mine - it's 8 or 9 hours by train from where I live. I always wanted to go there since high school. My cousin used to go to ITB. And after high school, I wanted to study at UNPAD. I don't know why I was attracted that much. Perhaps it is because Hilman's novel series: Vanya. Finally, I got the chance to go there. Hahaha. So, my impression on this city? It reminds me a bit of London because of the small street around the city. They have amazing angkot which stopped everywhere it wanted. We used this as our mode of transportation all the time when we were there. The best thing in this trip was going to Saung Mang Ujo. His kid is very talented. I don't regret spending money there. I also love the food (of course I do), alth

at last, Jogja!

haven't updated anything this past month... oh well, I just realized I've been in my hometown for a month now! Jogja is as hot as always. It's getting more crowded. I have a lot of free time in my hand -- too much, honestly, because I'm starting to be blank most of the time. it's good in a way as I can see my friends - whom I haven't seen for some time - but in another way, my brain is 'degrading' already (is that even a word? does that make sense?) on a brighter side, I have a chance to eat whatever I want to if the time and money permits! :) PS: it snows in London, heavier than last year *sigh*
