Walk with me, Hey Jude.

Whenever someone tells me to imagine my happy place, I always close my eyes and smell the clean air of a night filled with stars...
Not too hot, not too cold.
Just enough for a handful of oxygen to breathe in and make love in my lungs.

On top of a mountain, overlooking the city lights just a few miles away.
Cause then I'll be alone...but not too alone.
I'll be in solitude...but still surrounded by lives.
I'll be just by myself...but still aware that I'm part of something else.

Whenever someone tells me to listen to the sounds surrounding me, I always hear a faint radio in the background.
The songs changes from time to time.
Like right now.....
......it's Hey Jude.
Not too loud, not also a whisper.
Just enough to make things better.

anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.

Then I remembered, that I've tried to refrain.
Just to hurt myself,
To repair something I've stepped on
Just to see that it's damaged so badly, the sharp pieces comes back to hurt the hands praying that it will at least turn into something new...
Something beautiful.
But it's gone, and that one little piece stuck inside my own hand is the only thing I'm walking away with.

At least, I'm still able to walk away....

Whenever someone tells me to just be still....
I always find myself back to that small little mountain, with the radio playing just barely...
That's where I like to stay.
Just for a while...
Where I like to sit.
Just to gather my thoughts...
Where I like to remember that life continues.

Cause my happy place walks alongside me.

So let it out and let it in
Hey, Jude...
Begin.

On Point-of-V(you)s

  As we try to calmly settle ourselves down into another lockdown,  I find myself, as usual, revisit the things that has emerged itself into a pattern. And being the pattern loving human that I am, who always tries to see familiarity in things unfamiliar, I think it sort of gives a little dot in my GPS of understanding the grand scenario. However that might end up looking like. I understand, Picking out and believing the unfamiliar will somehow be something that makes sense is sort of like a leap of faith. More so in times like these,  Where we have extra time to listen or read other's pattern of thoughts (which might be total unfamiliarity to us), can get a little overwhelming. From the multiple voices screaming "jump now" or "don't jump" or even a random question "we can jump?". All of a sudden you're at a point of being annoyed by all the different voices saying a myriad different things from mismatched directions at about 100 kms per hour,

Baby, it aint over till it's over

Let me tell you this in advance.. the title above is from Lenny Kravitz's song, "It ain't over till it's over". And I'm going to tell you this in advance, when I die, please put that song on. Cos baby..it ain't over till it's over. Do anything to my body when I die... I don't care. Like an old broken down car, i'm the driver..and that piece of junk...well...u can just leave it there to rot, I don't care. Or burn it. Decapitate it. I really don't care what you do to me after I die. I'm far away and gone. I am probably floating around, waiting to live again, or just hanging around you...watching you as you sleep...and shower...and eat...................... BOO!!! HA! I dont really know where I'm going with this blog post. I'm not making fun of death or anything. Who in their right mind would ever make fun of death? I do sometimes though...to be honest. I try to look at it lightly, to get to know death. I'm weird that way.

Hitam dan putih

Mungkin karena pekerjaan saya yg enggak umum, orang2 yg ketemu saya suka banyak yg nanya2 tentang keseharian saya. I don't mind, if I can let you borrow what I do, I would. Dari sekian banyak pertanyaan yg orang suka tanya, ada satu pertanyaan yg sering ditanyain.  "Jadi kamu bisa tau mana orang yg jahat?" First of all, definisi jahat menurut saya sangat subjektif. Akan sangat beda kalau yg nanya adalah perempuan yg baru diselingkuhin dan laki-laki yg baru dipermalukan oleh temannya di depan bos mereka. Dari pertanyaan yg sebenernya bisa dijawab cukup dengan "iya" atau "tidak" ternyata enggak cukup karena the term "jahat" sangat luas.  Second of all, mungkin karena saya terbiasa - atau mungkin membiasakan diri - melihat karakter orang through the bigger picture, bener-bener untuk menentukan seseorang baik atau jahat sangat susah. Ini buat saya pribadi lho.  Tapi here's an example.  Ada seorang karyawan, si A misalny
