Perpustakaan


Jendela dunia
Begitulah orang berkata
Apakah itu?
Yap, betul. Itulah buku

Buku menjadi pelarianku
Di saat sepi, ramai; duka, riang
Kondisi apapun, sepertinya cocok saja
Tergantung dengan tema dan topik, lagipula

Seperti jendela, memang benar
Ia dapat membawamu pergi
Jauh, jauh sekali
Pergi ke suatu tempat
Hilang
Tak akan ditemukan
Hanya aku yang dapat menemukanku
Aku seorang

Buku-buku dikumpulkan
Di sebuah muara
Muara ilmu yang dalam dan luas
Per-pus-ta-ka-an

Tentu saja bukan hanya aku seorang
Yang haus akan ilmu
Sehingga, mereka pergi merantau
Ke tempat sakral itu

Namun, tidak semua menghargai
Menghargai tempat sakral itu
Ada yang berbisik, berbincang
Bahkan, bersenda gurau!
Jelas tertulis di dinding
Di banyak sudut dinding
"Tidak boleh berisik", "Harap tenang"

Kesal aku.
Sangat kesal.

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...

Music, Joy, Vibe!

For the past few months I've been enjoying to listen to some old songs I used to listen to when I was younger such as hip hop, emo, pop and etc. Human is unique. We can lift up our mood by listening to a certain sound and it can help us focus on things that we are working on. Whether you just had a long day, or a very adventurous day, you always want to pop a song or just sing it yourself without the song playing. Alone, or with someone you know, together blasting the feeling out.      For me, the kind of music that I really like is hip hop, especially rap song. I don't know why but rap songs can always keep me sane during work or school hours. It's probably because I also try to imitate the gesture of the MC make when they are performing on stage. There are Eminem, 2Pac, Ice Cube, Kendrick Lamar, Rich Brian, Denzel Curry, Mac Miller, Logic, Joyner Lucas and J. Cole. Each has their own different technique and style. It's unique. I can never get tired of listening to the...

Paradox of Reading

Now some of you may know what a paradox is. To equate our understanding, let me rephrase it. Paradox is a contradictory statement between the words while still makes sense to the meaning as a whole. A commonly used paradox for example is "less is more". Less and more is a completely different word and meaning where less means a lesser amount or quantity, contradicting more which means a greater or additional amount. An easy way to understand this sentence is, for example, when you procrastinate less, you will have more free time, thus resulting in more time for working. Something like that. Next is reading, which I don't think I need to rephrase it.      Enough of the introduction, now onto the main topic. We all, or at least some of us, agree that reading is one of the most entertaining activity to do in our free or full time. Whether you are reading fiction books, research-based books, journals, or blogs and websites like this depending on your purpose. To broaden your ...
