When you read the title of this post,
What do you possibly have in your mind?
Or, which city do you have in mind?
If the answer is Jakarta, yes, you have your answer correct.
I have been to Jakarta several times in my life though this was the first time I visited Jakarta for a working purpose. What did I feel?
tired.
I don't know how I could feel this way. It's just the way it is.
It's too tiring to follow the rhythm this city has.
It runs really fast.
I don't know how but it's just fast.
a bit like in a rush in pursuing something which I don't exactly know what it is.
if I may have one chance to have some heart-to-heart talk with this city,
I'm gonna say:
"have some rest"
I love working.
I definitely love my job.
But this city drives me really exhausted.
I enjoy its modern architecture and system.
But I dislike the people.
They're too individualistic, too selfish, too self-centered.
Yet, it's still nice to visit this city to refresh my mind
from some routine which makes me bored and bored and bored.
so, thanks Jakarta,
for making me miss my beloved city, Malang.
Malang is still the best place to stay, to live, and to enjoy life.
see you when I see you.
