A Walk Down Memory Lane
A good friend of mine is leaving England for good this week, and last weekend she paid one last visit to Southampton. On Friday, I got a message from her asking me if I wanted to go to Riverside Park the next day to catch the sunrise. Without thinking twice, I said yes. At 5.30…

Good People
For a couple of days, I’ve been asking the very same question that Jack Johnson asks in one of his songs (Good People, which, by the way, is my firm favorite along with Banana Pancakes and Better Together): where’d all the good people go? I’ve had some tumultuous relationships in the last few months. Just…

Those Surprises
image source Sometimes I wonder if the universe loves to play jokes on me, just to see my reaction. I met one of my closest friends here a year ago, one day after my birthday. I was hanging out at The Hobbit with my other friends — who were pushing shots at me — when…

Happy Birthday, Timothy!
I met Timothy in my first year of college, knowing nothing more than his reputation of ‘the cool guy with the perfect GPA’. Little did I know that later on, we would become best friends. In our third year of college, we became the committee for LFM, and that’s how we got close. In one year period,…

It Was Raining the Day You Left
The weather had been good for a couple of days, but the day you left, it was raining. When I woke up and went outside for smoking, I was surprised to find the soil was wet, and there were puddles in the backyard. That didn’t help at all. Already I was feeling gloomy, and the weather…

Happy Birthday, Divie!
This girl. She’s really one of a kind. I might be biased here, but she’s one of the people I adore the most. A smart, beautiful girl with positive attitude towards life. She plays music, she writes, and she always has a lot on her plate, and only god knows how she manages to do it all…

The Second Hellos
About one and a half years ago, Marion came to Indonesia and she stayed at my place for a few days. I was supposed to talk to her in German and she was supposed to talk to me in Indonesian, but a few sentences after ‘Ich heiße Dixie‘ and ‘Nama saya Marion‘, we gave up and talked…

For Ocha and Dhita
I can’t believe two of my good friends got married today, only a few hours apart. It seems like it was just yesterday that we were struggling with the always-exhausting Production Engineering exams, arguing about the right way to solve drilling problems, and inducing ourselves with some caffeine to stay awake for at least one…

London For A Friend
I’ve gone to an extreme length to postpone going to London. In my mind, it’s not that far, and there will be many impulsive trips my friends would make in the future. No rush. But this time, I finally bought a ticket and set foot in London for the first time (my arrival at Heathrow…

Saturday Night
Okay, let’s take a break from the Cornwall posts (which is nowhere near the end). Last Saturday we made a potluck dinner for the second time, this time with more people. The more the merrier! We came to Alex’s, and that place was packed with people from all around the world. France, Venezuela, Mexico, Slovakia,…
