Persiapan.

I'm packing to leave. Not my bags, but my emotion. I have 2 days left, to get ready. To face the reality of life, back in Japan. Its been a week since I slept early. The earliest, is about 4 am. I can't let go that easily and pretend, as if nothing happened for the past 2 months. Time flies. Kita meninggalkan, dan mereka ditinggalkan.

Tracking back to day-1 when we reached Jakarta. -We lost our SLR camera even BEFORE we get to the immigration counter. We were the last passenger to board off. Its too obvious that its the inside job, where everyone pretends that they didn't see anything. We asked for the CCTV recording but there were too many excuses made. We can't even make a police report. (As if nothing happened) = we hate the Jakarta Airport. -Uncle Saiful brought us to his apartment (Rasuna something..), and we stayed there for a night before leaving for Bandung. = Jakarta has so many buildings and malls. -We took Parahyangan train from Jakarta to Bandung for about 40,000Rp(executive) per person. It took 3 hours to get to Bandung. Saw some familiar trains that are brought from Japan. = The view was amazing!! Paddy fields here and there. Kaki-kaki bukit seperti dihiasi taman padi. -Even before the train stops at the station, other passengers sudah kelam kabut took their bags off from the baggage rack on top. = No wonder. Workers came in (menyerbu macam polis) and carried our bags out from the train. Then, have to pay them no matter what. We paid 20,000Rp. 6ringgit tu! -First stop, (like always) Blossom Outlet at Pascal Hyper. Last time, we went there 3 times. This time, pun sama. =Blossom made us feel like home. Not many customers at noon, nice friendly helpers around, and choices are.....too good to be true. -The only thing we knew about our hotel, New Sanny Rosa was, it is near to Rumah Mode. So, we went to Rumah Mode by angkot. =Angkot is a small van that carries people around Bandung. Just hop-on, (make sure you get to know the colours of the angkot, or just ask around since the people there are friendly- you have to speak bahasa Nusantara for that.. hehe) and pay 2,000Rp when you reach your destination. Most of the time we paid 5,000Rp for two (Say kiri~! first if you want to stop yah). There'll be beggars coming at the open door, maybe kids singing, or in our case, a boy singing with his guitar. Some said, 500Rp would be OK, but it doesnt hurt to give more. -We were quite surprised to know that our hotel looks very new and... ehm, expensive(for us). =Since they dont have any website, we just called them (using Skype) and booked for a room. We didnt care much (we thought that it was cheap. yah, years ago before its renovation!) since Hotel Cemerlang that we used to stay last time was fully booked. (I will STILL recommend Cemerlang in anyway) -We went to Restaurant Dapur Sangkuriang for dinner, and the food was GREAT! Cheap -affordable Sunda + padang food, with a great relaxing environment. Ah.. recommended to anyone visiting Bandung. =We saw no one, but Malaysian customers all night long. The rest of the album can be seen here @my facebook.

Sayang.

Apakah maksud sayang? I know you can't generalize things. But are things meant to be the way it should be? Kenapa kita sayang keluarga kita? Kenapa kita sayang teman-teman kita? Ketetapan ilahi kah itu? From my point of view, it is - sacrifice. Sayang is - care. Sayang is - concern. dan lebih banyak lagi. Bayangkan ya, I see you walking, wondering, and climbing right into a tempayan full of nails. I know that. But you? I think you do too. But its too tempting that you cannot stop doing what you WANT to do. So I stopped you. Or else, you'll bleed yourself to death. Crying for your life. (Tak de sampai mati kut..)-kut. But why should I? I could just do nothing and make fun of you. How stupid can you be la kan? Isn't it the same? If I'm asking you to stop smoking. If I'm asking you to stop drinking. If I'm asking you to stop killing yourself. If I'm telling you start doing some deeds. If I'm telling you to be a better-man. I think you know better where does it leads to. Kerana terlalu sayangkan kamu, tolonglah berhenti. Please, stop making fool out of your life. Don't waste it. Kerana terlalu sayangkan kamu, tolonglah dengar. Please, I am not any better than you. I really am not. Its just that I care. I want you to care too. At least, do it for you. #Ahhh.. kenapa aku sayangkan kamu2 in the first place. Kenapakah aku terlalu memikirkan tentang kamu. We're not even related.

ND#12 Serik? or Bijak?

Selama saya jaga Feesa yang no.10 ni, entah berapa kali dah bonda cakap, "Kamu jaga adik, FAIL!" Hari tu entah macam mana, dia main sudu, tercucuk tepi mata. Free-free je dah luka. Lepas tu jatuh katil kat hotel, entah berapa kali. Haish.. さて、 Budak kecik ni, dalam pukul 2-3 petang tu dia kene nap. Biasanya, tengah-tengah main tau-tau dah lentok. Semalam dia main kat bedroom atas. Tiba-tiba, saya yang tengah nak solat asar ni terdengar, "GEDEBOOOM". ....(ah sudah. tergolek dah tu..) Berdarah-darah mulut dia. Risau betul. Ingat patah dah gigi. Adoi..... dah la ada 4 batang je. Mati la saya! Nasib baik la yang luka tu bibir dia saja. Jatuh tersembam kut. Hari ini nap, biar dia tidur kat katil bawah je. Lama jugak dia nap hari ini. Tengah-tengah angkat kain kat luar, dia muncul kat pintu rumah. (Tekejut beruk ha..) Pi balik kat katil, habis bantal dengan comforter semua dtolaknya jatuh ke bawah . Huish, budak satu tahun ni. Pandai pulak ha letak safety precautions. #patut, kakaknye lah yang kene letak bantal supaya tak jatuh! (adoi, terlupalah!)
