Coffee Shop

[Sorry for the grammar errors and everything, I don't do great in english I know, yet this flashfiction wud be too cheesy to be written in bahasa]

"The coffee shop's being torn down." So my friend told me one afternoon.
It tickled my heart a little, I don't even know why, maybe because I'm scared that the memories that we built back then are vanished as well. I've never told you this -even 'tho I could have, because I've never so sure of how that place meant for you, and how silly I might sound like.
But you do remember it, don't you? A little coffee shop we used to hang...ngg once. The music wasn't so good, the coffee tasted too creamy, and the lonely place filled with only both of us. Ah, and don't forget the old barista, who happened to be the waitress and the cashier guy too, he seemed like a nice thoughtful guy don't you think?
I fell in love with that place, to be honest, and don't ask why because I haven't figured it out yet. It's just the kind of comfortness you get from some place that haven't been discovered by many people, I guess, or maybe the good time that we filled the place with so the place wasn't that lonely anymore. Or maybe something else, because just like what I said: I haven't figured it out yet.
I once wished that we could go there once again, you know, just to prove some of my curiosities. I wonder if I'm still in love with that place even when things aren't the same anymore between us. I wonder if we're still able to have a great time there after all these changes that life did to us.
But the wish will just be a wish, the city needs more hip places to hang they said, so no wonder that the little coffee shop is finally shutting down its business. I've been thinking about the old guy tho, I hope he's doing fine. What remain is just the memories about it that the visitors built in their own minds, and as for me, I could feel mine slowly fades.

UTS Special: Comforting Sounds Mixtape

Besok uts PRD dan sempet-sempetnya posting ginian meheheh gara-gara udah cabut demi belajar prd+mat tadi siang supaya malemnya bisa hearing, terus hearingnya di cancel *ba dum tss*. So let's just make it quick, and these are the list of songs you wish to hear in this most hectic period of the semester, enjoy! Happy (Pharrell Williams) Sulit untuk nggak senyum atau minimal nodding your head setiap kali denger lagu ini, yang selalu ngingetin kita untuk merasa senang ditambah campaign 24hoursofhappiness.com yang uber-awesome! Clap along if you know what happiness is to you :):) Með Suð Í Eyrum (Sigur Ros) Biarpun Sigur Ros udah ngeluarin dua album setelah album ini (yang bau-bau dark semua emang), sampai kapan pun lagu ini dan Gobbledigook bakal selalu jadi Sigur Ros' most cheerful songs. This song will always be your ice cream under the too shiny sun. This Too Shall Pass (OK Go) Pertemuan gue dengan lagu ini adalah waktu lagi ke mcd hampir tengah malem setelah ha...

Is this it?

Have you ever did a real bad thing in your life and live with a constant guilt afterwards, that you thought every single bad thing that keeps happening to you is just the way of universe punishing you -and that you deserve every tiny part of the pain? I can't really recall when was the first time I start living with this horrible mindset weighing me, but it does took me months of repetitive small unnecessary breakdowns to finally losing it last night and cry the shit out over The Strokes' Is This It -alone in my hotel room, thinking I am so done with universe punishing me and shit. I snapped last night and when I was finally too tired to continue crying, I thought to myself that maybe universe was actually never that evil, maybe I did this to myself, maybe the things that break me are just a product of my own belief -believing that I need to suffer from every cosmic surprise that went south from my own expectation and immediately perceiving it as another form of life punishme...
