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...

Dreams n Aspirations

I want to build a library or a coworking space that can fulfill the needs of many people that want to study or work but can't because there are not that many places open for 24 hours, and free, to top that off. Feel me as a student; can't be having to spend additional expenses for a drink (?) or a snack (?) that is usually unnecessary. Not counting the sugar and other health aspects that may come together with that. Although, of course, you can always exercise more to get rid of those substances and it's good for your body to workout more often. You are going to reap the sedentary life that you sow today if you don't.      It would be a huge achievement for me and I think that's what people call as virtue ? This could even be my biggest achievement I can imagine yet. The dream comes from my habit of working something in a quiet, chilly, and comfortable place. I can't find it in most of the coffee shops in my area. I could find them in coworking space! And publi...
