Even Kaskus Thinks I'm An Ambonese

Guess what? I’m in Kaskus today!

As we know, Kaskus is the largest Indonesian community site, but very rarely visit that. Until my friend Veli told me that she found my pic in one of it page!

The Link

That pic was took when I was attended my aunt’s wedding party, at my around 16 years old, I guess. How the creator find that pic, I think from my friendster (so oldish, huh?). Oh well, am I used to make my face up like that? And am I really look like that? With too much ethnic in my blood I think I can’t choose which one is the most prominent visible, even Ambonese. So what do you think about?

At least they think I’m pure Indonesian, after all.

Why?

Why counting from one, when everything will return to none?
Why do we tango in two, when it cause you nothing but blue?
Why can’t we make us three, when asylum won’t catch us free?
Why bother gather in four, when we don’t have dreams to live for?
Why launching in five, when there’s no such thing as after life?

..........

Why asking whys, when you won’t be around showing the beauty of lies?

Best of Sorowako

Working in Sorowako is so fun, especially for me who like sea, hills, everything natural, everything close to nature. I like the way I spend my time in here, especially on weekend. Spending morning at Matano Lake - the fifth-deepest lake in the world – with swimming, paddling kayak, do wind surfing, or just looking around. Or riding my bicycle around the town in the afternoon, try paddling on the rise then glide smoothly to downhill while pass the houses which made from wood, let the wind blow my hair. Quite dangerous think my friend, but really spur my adrenaline.

To get here, we spend 12 hours by land from Makassar, only night bus available. This is the first time I’m being here, and also the worst journey I’ve ever had, I think. Imagine, 12 hours traverse winding road from 7 PM to 7 AM nonstop, well it’s really torturing my head, I can’t sleep all night long. Even in the morning when I arrive I feel like I can’t feel myself anymore, all I need is only find a bed immediately where I can lie down, sleep, and found my head back. I prefer go to Batam Island from Singapore by ferry, even the wave is so wild, at least it spend 1 hour only.

But guess what I find after, paradise! From sea, lake, mountains, hills, waterfall, even the mine. Everything’s great, everything’s in here, all of them. And this is my most favorite part, sit at the corner of pier, watch bright afternoon sky share the horizon with rainbow across the Verbeek mountain, the world’s nickel resources, and kids jumping into the blue lake. It always, always, and ALWAYS be the best, the perfect horizon that I’ll be missing when I back to home later.

And nothing beats it! Even if you would rather to see view from height, you still can find it. Try to go Poci, only one hour trekking and you can see the whole Sorowako from that hill. Choose your favorite moment, morning to capture the moment when plane take off and penetrate the morning mist, or afternoon and see how lights illuminating the town. All of them, enhanced with Vale Inco, the second-biggest nickel mining company in the world, Indonesia’s heart of economic. This is how sea meets hills, and nature meets technology.

 

Sorowako day and night

See? How God works in details, and people harmonize it in modern way.

Enchanting Sorowako!

...

aku ingin mengukir namamu di balik lemari,
lalu pintunya kututup rapat dan kukunci.
tapi untuk apa?
seakan kau masih peduli saja.

rasanya kawan,
seperti dicabik secara membabi buta,
tiap mili kulitku dapat merasakan pedihnya.
rasanya sungguh menyedihkan,
seperti terjatuh ke lubang jebakan yang sama,
lubang yang seharusnya sudah lama disingkirkan.
aku bodoh.
aku buta dan tuli.
aku tidak bisa merasakan apa apa.
tapi aku tidak hampa.

paling tidak, sekarang aku mengerti.
tidakkah kamu sadari, aku memakai kacamata untuk melihat kamu dengan lebih jelas.
menelanjangi sampai ke dasar hatimu agar aku tahu bagaimana harus bersikap.

aku ingin mengukir namamu sayang,
tapi bukan lagi di balik lemari berkunci.
aku ingin menulisnya di atas pasir,
agar kapanpun aku mau namamu bisa tersingkir.

mulai detik ini aku tidak akan menulis nama siapapun lagi.
