i never choose to be born here. maybe if i could, i might pick some other place to be a person.
sometimes, my feet felt like fleeing the land. just for the sake of not being here.
but somehow... i know this is the place where i can really accept.
high faith
every place has its smell. it's true. some i love, some i despised. yet, this is the place where i cannot smell anymore. the air that i breathed for way too long. for way too much.
this is the place where i was born... the home for plenty, destination for some. where visions of changes often shut down by how regular things seemed. building risen up, old and new... some altered. shops changes name, the road divided and united.
it seems like everything is there from the beginning of time. somehow.
what a place. a place that i lived in. the address. this is the account of no stranger... just another occupant. a soul living... inside a landscape.

the city is by no mean young. it's 480 years old by 2007. it's surely is a very old lady with too much in mind.
it's crowded, it's getting on my nerve even more everyday. it's like a transcity ride just to get to my office every morning (maybe in europe, it could get you to a different country). 2 hours for only 21 kilometers... i could crawl and still arrived earlier.
but somehow, the inevitably lazy feet of Jakartans... force us to stay inside a burning hell of non progressing car. who's the stupid one... i don't know. well... ok... i know. it's me... us...
ok... back again. in GENERAL DESCRIPTION: it's wayyyy too full. (or maybe i'm writing this just in one of them days when i get caught in a very bad jammin street).
Favourite spots:
snow
the window of my room. the window of my old office, in the 3rd floor at 8 o'clock in the morning the rooftop of a deusche bank... at the city center golfing inside the skyscraper
take a stroll on Sudirman Road just after rain stopped. the city tend to be more tame when rain comes. the building start to glow with rich colour. oh how i love it when it rains.
What's really great:
despite the really narrow sidewalk... none-existence even... there are places where you could actually have a walk.
