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!

Parting Apart

I want to say I'm sorry, but I can't. Maybe I'm a hopeless romantic guy. I really love her, so much. With all my heart. Every night, it's a battleground in my head. Whether to forgive myself and just move on, or there are other layers that I have not yet discovered. I really want her to come back. Maybe it's true, love does not have to have . I want her to shine. She's a diamond of her own league. She's cute. She's my smile. She's everything for me. Now I'm getting emotional ahaha.      My sense of romance isn't getting any better as the day goes by. Practice ? That's probably the word. I need to do it. It's just, I couldn't understand her. I mean, I do have a sister. I should understand her a little bit; woman's world. Maybe much. But, like people say, everyone is unique. She's special.      I hope that she's smiling everyday; I know she's a tough one. She's an independent woman. Knowing that everything's...

Idealism

For the last few weeks I've been struggling to come back to reality. I have been a bad person, not like I did commit crimes or anything, just that I was too naive about the world.      Sometimes it's good to have plans of your own and not thinking all the consequences. Being an idealist is hard but doable (if you have the courage and are willing to wait for god knows how long until it happens). Sometimes you just gotta throw all your dreams and aspirations. It just won't happen. In the times like this we have to move in a fast pace, while there are some that choose not to, ignoring process if I must say.       There's a famous word from my country that says, Idealisme adalah kemewahan terakhir yang hanya dimiliki oleh pemuda. Idealism is the last luxury that only youth have. -Tan Malaka      Well then I guess I'm starting to get into the boring adult life we all wanted when we were young which we regret instantly after we get it LOL.

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    ...
