Parental Advisory

Sitting in a coffee shop. Chatting with dad, rio, riris and babang. Those people are filling up my head this very moment. Let me unpack what I think of my dad, rio and riris. Rio dan Riris berniat ke Bandung dengan keluarga Riris besok, seharian dan naik mobil. Terdengar aman di telinga gua. Jelas gua tetep wanti-wanti adik bungsu gua supaya hati-hati. Maklum, remaja cowok pasti nggak seberat remaja cewek pertimbangannya, jadi harus gua bikin lebih berat supaya dia bijaksana. Gua izin ke papa dengan suara se-netral baja dan selembut uang 50,000 dari Bank Indonesia supaya dia izinin Rio pergi besok. Sekelebat terlintas ucapan tak tertulis dalam otak gua "kalo ada apa-apa, papa nggak mau tanggung jawab ya" yang mana kalo gua analisis lagi, adalah non-sense. Setiap orang tua yang kehabisan argumen bersahaja untuk mengelabui sang anak terhadap paranoid-nya selalu mengesankan dia 'nggak peduli' lagi sama anaknya yang nggak bisa dinasehatin. Sebenernya, nggak gitu. Or...

vanity

sini saya kasih tau tentang seseorang yang belum lama ini saya kenal. kami pernah jadi teman, dia pernah nangis di depan saya, saya juga bantu dia banyak hal. ya pokoknya berteman. "why you never clean this stove after you use it?" "why should I clean it? I am not a maid" "so you think I am the maid?" "...." "you think?" "who put these glasses here? who used this plate and put it here?" "you're going around and around. you used this pot and put it in your cupboard. it is ours, not yours. why would you put public possession in your private place?" "well, if it is for public, then everyone can use it" "oh, so you want to USE it but not CLEAN it?" "...." "you are selfish, inconsiderate and insensitive!" "...." itu ada percakapan terakhir saya dengannya. sejak saat itu, kami nggak berteman lagi. saya nggak suka dicuekin, dan saya nggak suka pertanyaan s...

soon enough to see the sun sets

I believe I am living in the most ridiculous country in terms of weather and time-moving. For the first time in my life, I see sun shines more than 15 hours a day, and I only sleep 5 hours every night. "Nak, kamu angkat dulu jemuran itu, ini mau hujan" my mom ordered me that Sunday afternoon. I barely noticed it was already 7 o'clock in the evening but the sun felt like one in the afternoon. I didn't see any signs of raining, not even cloudy that day, but my mom insisted. Schizophrenia is no longer thing that I hate or resist, I must go on with that. It's just me and my mom in this weird country, doing therapy for her and I believe I am not freak enough to get a month leave just to company her doing her therapy. "Ma, orang bilang terapi di negara ini paling bagus. Mama sabar ya, seminggu lagi kita pulang." I never expect any response each time I tried to talk to her. This evening, out of the blue she talked "kenapa repot-repot pergi kesini? K...

awareness of nothingness

I feel a bit depressed by being numb lately. I thought getting hurt routinely would help me feel a bit stronger about many other hurtful things, apparently not. Been occupying myself with tumblr rather than blogger, and I feel a bit awkward looking at the traffic sources of people who opened my blog page. impressive. stop bullying myself, so I learn that a human is plausible if one can disguise the feelings and emotions. It is hard, really, you should stop watching drama and mocking it unless you could do as good as the actors there. Oh yeah, I play theatre. I act. The difference is: I act truthfully. I tell you what? That is something gifted. Then now, being aware that you have nothing is basically something more valuable than realising that you have everything and attempting to be prepared if one day you have to lose what you have now. Seriously, (awareness of) possession kills you, immediately.
