Bandung before a horrible subject's final test

Hey Bandung, been a long time since last time I visited you. Now's my coming isn't something has planned before, after one tiring day and a big (not really) dissapointment, suddenly I thought "Why not Bandung?"

And here I am.

Talking about Bandung, I'd tell a story about one who is lucky and one who's not. My younger sister is at Bandung right now, in fact, she's one of my reason going here. After some exhausting placement tests for national varsities (which none of it accepted her), she's finally decide to pay one of civil varsity, the only one which has accepted her. And now, getting inspiration from I don't know where, she's having another test at one of the best faculty in southeast asia, in one civil university in Bandung. And the major she choose, were and actually is, my dream major.

Architechture. Pray for her, may God bless her to pass the test, or at least, may money be able to help her pass the test (not dirty money of course). But for whatever the result is, I never imagined, that she will be interested at that subject. For how lucky I am, I did choose my major law, and left my dream (not really a dream, I guess, I'm just being dramatic), to open my way for her choosing whatever she wants. But now, Jesus!! Even to enter the university has been difficult for her. I never suspect her for any brainlessness like this. How fishy I was! And now, despite choosing subjects that attract her excitement, I guess she's doing the same way I did: saving the future by choosing some boring-but-safe major. Actually law isn't boring, but still, it's not what I really wanted. I'm just saving myself, and I thought, was, saving her.

Anyway it's been too far from lucky and unlucky. But I'm not evoked anymore to talk more about lucky. I'm lucky enough, for I only have to try once to enter one good university. And my sister, let her decide whether she'll be lucky or not. Not her brain which is wrong, just her head and heart, maybe.

i gave a beggar "success comes through efforts"-citated candy. that and only that.

i always think that everybody, doesn't care how bad his life is, deserve to make the best efforts along their aliveness. begging is not a way of life anybody may choose -of course some say that they have no choice at all; but it's not in that matter too. i respect those who fight for those beggars, or contributing a real impact by giving them money, zakat, or whatsoever that is. it's just not in my sense to give them anything.

yayy i ironically contribute nothing to make their outlook better, too

train

a friend from a business school in jakarta was given assignment from his teacher. he took MRT as the topic to be written. then i asked, isn't anyone talk about train? why would you take MRT, it even haven't been established. he answered, nope, train's just too old-fashioned.

i do sad. if only young people would like to concern more about train, sure, it'll be much better. train is the most-worthy transport through jakarta, the only thing to improve is its management (so it won't be too crowded). please gov, fix it.

ada waktu-waktu tertentu

buat saya sabtu. adalah waktu ketika saya biasa menunggu telepon dari seseorang. dan sekarang sudah tidak ada. dan ketika sabtu datang, perasaan menunggu itu masih datang. weekend jahanam.

gue kan single senen sampe jum'at. sabtu minggu taken.

erased: sabtu minggu taken. serve yourself, quin.

blame blame blame

Suatu hari, saya sedang berfacacebook ria dan menemukan status ini pada seseorang: Agag ngntog. Secara reflek, saya langsung mengetikkan kata2 "Agag ngntog? Alay gila elo."

But i stopped. Apa tujuan gw nulis2 begitu? Apa keuntungan yang gw dapet? Ngapain gw nulis begitu? Kepuasan diri semata buat memperkuat image gw bahwa "eh gw ga alay kaya elo"? Kesenengan karena berhasil ngebikin orang lain ngerasa bahwa mereka lebih rendah dari kita? And WE do it in many other things, honey. Buat apa?

Tapi tetep aja, kalo ngga nulis, ngga puas. Bener kan?
