Dingin


Hari ini, di McD
Kupesan Ice Cone dan McFlurry
Vanilla dan kopyor
Rasa baru sepertinya

Kududuk di pojok
Pastinya dengan colokan
Agar cocok
Namun, tanpa password Wi-Fi

Hari ini, tak seperti biasa
Karena, HPku rusak
Satu-satunya alasanku
Ada di sini, di McD

Teller memintaku untuk
Menunggu selama satu jam penuh
10.15 hingga 11.15
Itu artinya, satu jam penuh!

Kulihat ke arah kanan
Terlihat kasir sedang sibuk
Sebetulnya, ini belum waktunya makan siang
Melainkan, waktunya sarapan!

Walaupun, sebetulnya, sudah lewat juga
Terlewat jauh malah!
Dari yang kulihat,
Hampir semua yang datang
Memesan satu hal yang serupa
Satu hal yang kekal
Sepanjang masa
Dessert!
Aiskrim kalau kata orang Malay

Mengingat aiskrim, aku rindu
Rindu dengan rasa roti es ala Singapura
Rasa roti itu, sangat sederhana
Sederhana, namun tersimpan banyak cerita
Akan aku jelaskan!

Roti yang digunakan adalah
Roti tawar
Dilipatlah roti menjadi dua lapisan
Di antara kedua lapisan itu,
Disisipkanlah sebuah cita rasa
Yang mirip dengan hari ini
Terkadang menusuk, seringnya sejuk
Maklum saja, aku hidup lama sekali
Di wilayah tropis
Maka, rasa dingin adalah kegembiraan
Terkadang malah musuh
Yap, betul, condiment atau tambahannya
Adalah es krim!
Dingin, bukan?

Itulah roti es krim ala Singaporean
Itulah rasa yang aku rindukan
Dingin, namun sejuk
Aku tak butuh apa-apa lagi!

love does not have to have

Classic story. Our life, we bump into new people each and every day, whether they last long or only as a one-time-meet-and-gone. When we meet new people, it is either we that will change their life, or they are the one that will change our life. This can be our mindset, way of life, how we dress, how we treat other person, or just simply making new memories. Now love is something more complicated. It is, indeed, complicated in many ways. For me, all my life I have fallen in love twice, it was back in junior high school and senior high school. Both has somewhat similar hobbies and character, though if I look more closely they both are unique. I still have feelings towards them, although I never made a contact ever since we separated from school. These past few years I have never fell in love to anyone else. Weird I know. We were young, and we were old. Life was warm, then life was cold. It gets harder, yes you'll see, but, were we ever meant to be?   -Reality Club    ...

Persist and Resist

No matter what the results are, keep doing it . You only get better when you don't stop. Even if you don't think you can pull it, just believe in yourself. If something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor. -Elon Musk      Start fresh. Do things slowly . Never expect big returns. Always think of the worst case possible scenario. Slow but sure . Stay away from distractions . Build up your confidence . Listen to music of your choice. But remember, take a quick break once in a while. Record your progressions. You will soon see how much you have improved . Adios!

Judgmental

Being a judgmental person made me lose a lot of opportunities I could have get. Seeing someone else's achievement, judging the person because they just can't finish their work on time, etc.  You know too much psychology when you can't get mad because you understand why everyone's reasons for doing everything.      I was a very judgmental person. I would talk sh*t to anyone that I feel they deserve what I'm about to say. Even if they would hate me in the end. I didn't care about one's feeling towards my actions. One day I realize I've made so much mistakes by letting them know what I think about them because you simply just can't say what you think about them directly. People don't need your suggestions or input unless they asked you for it and even then people will more likely going to let it pass. I realize that by telling them what to do I would just waste my energy and time which I can invest in something else instead of being a judgmental pe...
