Kamu adalah pasar malam
dan aku,
anak lelaki yang enggan pulang







*kalau kamu bertanya-tanya,
iyes, ini terinspirasi dari

Oblivion: self, soul, and other thousands of yourselves

Image
Taken from Wikipedia Was somebody asking to see the soul?  See, your own shape and countenance, persons, substances, beasts,  the trees, the running rivers, the rocks and sands.  All hold spiritual joys and afterwards loosen them;  How can the real body ever die and be buried?  Of your real body and any man's or woman's real body,  Item for item it will elude the hands of the corpse-cleaners and  pass to fitting spheres,  Carrying what has accrued to it from the moment of birth to the  moment of death.  --Walt Whitman, Starting from Paumanok, section 13. Seperti yang kutulis di Transformer : Pasal satu, militer selalu menang, jika militer kalah, kembali ke pasal satu. Kupikir sebaiknya jangan berharap lebih dari apa yang didapat ketika nonton Transformer. Dan yang pasti ini film Amerika, jelas berakhir bahagia. Sebagai anak pemalas yang lebih suka menangkap makna dan ogah ribet mikirin efek, bagiku film ini semacam menye-menye soal kena

It was a sun shiny morning with a blue sky by the beach. A girl friend and I went to one of the beach club for the Sunday market. I always curious about this Sunday market, and the foods. So we drove there with a happy mood, giggling and laughing while driving. The premise didn’t provide enough sitting area, so I had half of my paella standing before randomly sat on the floor behind one of the counters. We finally found an empty table as we ordered oysters and two glasses of sparkling wine. A friend and I just finishing our fresh oysters and decided that the table was too exposed to the sun. It was too hot to sip our sparkling wine there. So I poured the rest of the wine to my reusable cup. I am pro mask, I think everybody should wear mask and other precautions during this pandemic. I am diligent about my mask. That morning, I took off my mask as I drinking my wine from the straw of my cup. I mean, I literally couldn’t drink and eat with the mask on. I was also in a really good mood be
