Yeah, akhirnya gue nulis lagi setelah (sok) hiatus cukup lama. Well, 'hiatus' would be an exaggeration. Sebenernya cuma agak hilang motivasi untuk serius nulis sih, itu aja. Mungkin karena gue kebanyakan mikirin hal-hal yang sebenernya nggak perlu dipikirin dan kurang banyak mikirin hal-hal yang sebenernya perlu dipikirin (?). Anyway, di kursi perpustakaan kampus yang cukup nyaman ditemani sebotol gede kopi susu (iya, botolnya gede, serius deh) inilah jari gue gerak-gerak di atas badan Keith alias laptop gue cerita tentang...postingan blog ini semalem sebelumnya.

Some Reflection From the Couch
It was a cloudy day not so long ago
I loved it when it rained, but not that day
It was a cold day. The cold tiles made it even more so
And my eyelids were heavy, trying to drift me away
I heard a sound, calling out to me
A sound that was not foreign, but long I had forgotten
It said, "Are you in for a journey of rediscovery?"
I was startled, for I felt the fading of my loathed burden

Shopping + Spotting!
Selalu ada untungnya kalo dapet libur pas weekdays. Nah, alhamdulillah di trimester ini gue dapet libur di hari Jumat, sementara di trimester sebelumnya libur di hari Senin. Jadi setelah meras otak kuliah dari hari Senin sampai Kamis, Jumat emang pas banget buat refreshing. Karena hitungannya weekday, public transport kayak bus, kereta, sama feri jadwalnya masih rutin. At least ke rute-rute 'rame' kayak ke CBD (Central Business District) busnya banyak, kasarnya dateng di halte tiap 15 menit sekali. Weekend? Duh. Udah CBD pasti rame, jadwal public transport juga kena imbas--bus yang biasanya 15 menit sekali bisa jadi 30 menit sekali.

The Questions of God
So...yeah. Finally got something worth to write about. And let me tell you, this topic is...well, unusual. I have never written anything like this before, but now I just can't help it. I never imagined that I would be writing this, but here I am.
Yesterday I watched an episode of RTE TV show The Meaning of Life. It's an Irish television show (RTE stands for Raidio Teilifis Eireann, or Radio and Television of Ireland) hosted by prominent Irish presenter Gay Byrne, basically featuring public figures--politicians, musicians, actors, you name it--being asked about...well, about the meaning of life. More specifically, Uncle Gaybo--Byrne's nickname--invites those public figures to talk about God, their spiritualism, significant events in their lives, and so on. The episode I watched features Andrea Corr, the lead singer of my all-time favourite band and one of my girl crushes (yeah, I have girl crushes. Problem?).

2014 Hopman Cup: From a Fan's Point of View
OUI!
I was very fortunate to be one of the spectators at this year's Hopman Cup. Generally I love all tournaments (although there are ALWAYS special 'treatments' for the Grand Slams and the year-end championships, of course), but the Hopman Cup always holds a special place in my heart for a number of reasons. Firstly, it was the first tennis tournament I've ever been to. In 2010, I found out that my favourite player of all time was going to play in Perth. At that time I still had a valid Australian visa because I had gone to Perth in June. Also, I have relatives living in Perth (who have become my host family here) so I needed not to worry about accommodation. Although I had been worried at first about traveling alone, I made the trip anyway, and it turned out GREAT. My heart still pounds every time I remember each second of the matches I went to.

"No!"
"It's how it should be."
"Don't...don't go! Stay!"
"I'm sorry, I can't."
"But...I promise I'll be good! I don't want you to go! Please, stay!"
"I have to go. I don't know when I'll come back."
"I can't take this! I want to kill myself!"
"Don't say such things! Let it go! You can't face it!"
"No! NO!"
"It's how it should be."
"Don't...don't go! Stay!"
"I'm sorry, I can't."

Kitchen Light
The kitchen light's still on
And I'm staring at the ceiling
Why, this is another sleepless night
With things swimming around in my head
It's just me in bed and my earphones
Toss the Feathers is beating off my ears
This is hardly the first time
In the dark with only the kitchen glowing
And I'm staring at the ceiling
Why, this is another sleepless night
With things swimming around in my head
It's just me in bed and my earphones
Toss the Feathers is beating off my ears
This is hardly the first time
In the dark with only the kitchen glowing
