Thanksgiving

Fruition has marked the days of drying bloom then farmers sing and dance.

β€”

my thanksgiving celebration is every day πŸ’ mini tumpeng to celebrate my calm day; thank you!
tumpeng is compact coned rice, a very meaningful shape in Javanese tradition – a climbing up to strive a goal

Blooming

Continue blooming. Time brings seasons and moments unwrapping secrets.

β€”

The best secrets are those explained by the beauty of silence of the blooming orchids. Thank you, Gusti Allah for all your love and guidance. I’ll keep all secrets secret like I take care of all my beloved orchids. I’ll keep all love love like I take care of my own self.

Salaam.

thank you again and again and again πŸ’
thank you again and again and again πŸ’

Quarter

Life is a quarter
With many doors to access.
Ever rendezvousβ€”

me, Mel the mother of groom and Choo photographed when we were having good time after the wedding matrimony πŸ’ souls meet for a good reason, no bad reason at all 😘

Love Is

Love is not fading.
Love is distancing away
From shooting stars
Hurting a peaceful land.

Dear, shooting stars.
Dance.
Fly.
Free fall.
Father of Sky will redirect you
To another land who is willing to be hurt
Or
Simply re-orbit you to safer route.

β€”

Gaia is well protected from outer orbits by Jupe the Jupiter; sadly the children are damaging her – you are blessed, Mother Earth πŸ’

Truth, What?

The truth that I learnt
Is unlearnt.

The truth that I unlearnt
Is re-learnt.

The truth is within
Unsaid, unseen, embraced.

The truth is without
Loudly said, interpreted differently.

The truth is there
To be shut down by the next truth.

The truth is here
To be embraced by accepting heart.

The truth is a spectrum of colours
Layered like no clear lining.

The truth is an ocean of probabilities
Stored like no possible turns.

β€”

is truth 😁

Wedded

When two are wedded,
The rest are singing, wishing
Brighter days and nights.

β€”

I attended my nephew’s wedding matrimony today. Mike looked stunning, and so did Vera.

Hearing their wedding vows was mixture of fun and heartwarming feelings β€” two poles apart met by destiny. πŸ’

Tante Rike happy for you, Mike
😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
congrats, Mike and Vera! 😘

Love Is

Love is
Smiling reading book alone,
Enjoying how alphabets marching in meaning
And weaving pieces of puzzles to be a map.

Love is
Tapping dots on a map alone,
Imagining air and land travel waiting
To happen as planned to track the unseen atlas.

Love is
Enjoying what is nor present now here
Realizing that what is not seen can be felt by heart
And wished happiness unconditionally.

Love is
Eating what is blessed alone
Remembering that Mother Earth has been so kind
Giving all she has to mankind
Without calculation.

Thank you for today.

β€”

today’s breakfast πŸ’

Present

Thanks for the present.
Good breathing and walking
Unwrapped everydayβ€”

β€”

thank you! it is said not a Christmas gift but there is a β€œMerry X’mas” on a card; thank you for the gift every year although I am not a Christian πŸ’πŸ˜ƒ
i guess the boxes are all empty 😁

Smile

Smile, Beloved, smile.
It’s a luxurious gift
For you and for me.

β€”

I was checking my educational docs and was in awe to see my photos in each of different docs. How I am touched by physical transformation and what experiences attached to it, that makes me stay loyal with my own self whatsoever.

Tell yourself that your life is a journey that if you need buddy, you should pick those willing to share wonder. Otherwise, travel alone. πŸ’

Thank you!

πŸ’

sleepy, angry, yet stop telling me to take a nap! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
classroom, my party time; playground, my party time, my childhood was everyday party! πŸ‘―β€β™€οΈ
no smile, no mercy πŸ˜ƒ
length of hair defines how I treat the world; i love my pretty silly me! πŸ˜ƒ

Sweet Heart

Hello, my sweetheart.
Is life still sweet and vibrant?
Nes, said twisted tongue
Who means yes but mixed with no.
Making decision is wow.

β€”

Sweet is banana rice cake for breakfast and lunch. Should dinner be with the same? Please no. But where is thanksgiving if food is wasted? Sometimes good is not always good like this sweet banana rice cake that ends up as a dilemma. πŸ’•

Lesson learnt: the karma of trying a full recipe is eating the same food the whole day without knowing to whom complaint shall be aired 😁

today’s banana rice cake! as sweet as a light heart 😘

Little Bird

A bird is sailing
On a clean stream down the hill
On a dry brown leaf.

β€”

(from Pinterest) – a fragile creature on a fragile creature – how beautiful life is!

Home

Home is
Where an equation is done.
X factor is found,
Balance is placed,
Abundance is defined
Although life is never perfect.

Home is
Where the most important things gather.
Love is respected.
Respect is loved.
Priority is defined
Although life will never be perfect.

Home is
Where a painting is displayed.
Colours are combined,
Shapes are drawn.
Beauty is defined
And imperfect life is accepted.

that one tall white tree in the middle is the eucalyptus tree decided to cut down for the sake of the house to built in a nice spot; thank you, eucalyptus; it is unfortunate that you could not be replanted with some reasons β€” as much as I love you (so so much), I prefer respect for a home with other trees breathing with me πŸ’•

Number

Number’s readable,
Intension’s not. Heart can read
Yet eyes can deny.

β€”

My Japan trip gave me a lot of insight. That an intension can be hidden yet sooner or later it will be naturally disclosed. That I should not entertain any underestimating and/or disrespecting expression β€”hidden or shownβ€” as life is moving forward not backward. That if symbols or signs are not delivered to me as good will, all of them are false; ignoring them is the best way. That it is the right way to let them happily underestimate and/or disrespect and/or show superiority as their life style.

Human being should communicate verbally as part of real interaction. Without clear and genuine verbal communication at all and just sending signs and symbols, they fail respecting others. Wishing happiness is the best way as that’s what they need the most. Stopping interacting in whatsoever way is the best decision as they don’t contribute anything except confusion.

Happy weekend! 😍

13 can be 13 or β€œ1 and 3” or 4 or 3 or 2 or nothing β€” whichever you choose to be, don’t choose to be β€œcorrosion on an iron bar, permanently damaging the quality of the bar”

Home

β€”

Where can food be good
With less taste or little garnish?
It must be a home.
clean both look and taste is the main strength of Japanese food; better than in-flight meal so let’s eat before going home πŸ’
tada! fat makes the cold noodle perfect – murky and tasty!
not a fan of red meat, but good ribeye once in a while ok lah….
well done! or burnt? is a perfect choice πŸ˜‚

Breakfast

Morning is welcomed
By a tray of whatever
Turning to a best.

β€”

my best breakfast this month!
2nd helping shows how good it is!
this never works for me anytime anywhere!
this made my today’s breakfast a gift from end of 2022, thank you!

Praying

Swinging steps to gates.
Washing hands and mouth. Flying.
Whispering. Amen.

Typo

Typo is parties
Done by drunk fingers dancing
Teasing sleepy brain.

typo is my best friend be side autocorrect πŸ˜‚ please understand πŸ™‚

Morning

Morning is about
Chirping birds, calm sea, soft breeze
Greeting these senses.

β€”

hi, Kudamatsu sun. how would you not tell me how much I love this life with your yellowness that swipes yesterday to today β˜€οΈ

Drag Me

Drag me to your heart
Even if it hurts my head,
Said I.

I know you’re teasing
Even when I mean it,
Said I.

I smile in silence
Letting you laugh in joy.
Sad I’m.

Enjoy it.
Enjoy your days,
Said I.

I walk away
Leaving the last piece of my heart.
Dragging my luggage
Alone.
Smiling.
Winning
Against my own sigh.

To you, who secretly teasing again and again and again and again. Thank you. Life is full of fun. πŸ’—

β€”

no lift! let’s go, baby!
….and yes! became the last one even behind the gorgeous senior Japanese ladies! thanks God not the aluminium suitcase that can’t be dragged without hurting both its body and my heart πŸ˜‚

Small Thing

Small thing is cherry
On a big cake, red and brave
Savouring the day.

β€”

feel good!!! beyond my thought! thank you! autumn is always romantic in itself πŸ₯°
feel so good; i couldn’t stop laughing yet wondering about that guy in the statue – his moustache is incredibly long and straight! what a myth!
then i found he is real! 😍 Gaishi Nagaoka is his name; browse him in the Net! πŸ‘πŸ½
will pose as him tomorrow morning after breakfast when i meet my work partners πŸ₯°

Window

How can you travel
Without any gloom and stress?
Take a window seatβ€”

β€”

window is the best seat to enjoy a flight: can see the sky freely and work; a perfect safety to sit at wing area yet not a perfect view – never mind, there is always things to compromise πŸ’
not a perfect seat: can’t see the view freely + can’t work freely, yet feeling protected sitting between two πŸ’

Love & Luck

My love is mostly dumb, stubborn, too thin to see, and makes you hate me.

My luck is often loud, sudden, too huge to miss, and makes me love you.

I’m not a gambler, yet think you’re a dice rolling numbers for a prize.

β€”

my love and luck grows for and bows to you

Kamu

Hei, kamu
Yang ada di mimpiku
Kadang datang sendiri
Kadang sebagai bayangan
Kadang menakutkan
Sering membawa senyuman.

Hei, kamu
Yang ada di langkahku
Kadang berlari menjauh
Kadang memancing ingin tahuku
Kadang menyebalkan
Sering membawa pemakluman.

Hei, kamu
Yang aku kenal tapi tak kenal
Kadang nampak cinta
Kadang nampak benci
Kadang seperti ada
Sering tak terlihat ada.

Hei, kamu.
Iya, kamu.
Kamu yang sedang berjalan
Menemui dirimu.
Kadang seperti ragu.
Seringnya tanpa bimbang melaju.

Ah, kamu!
Kamu memang kamu!

Rindu Adalah

Rindu itu
Sebutir berlian tak diasah
Teronggok begitu saja
Menanti pengasah berputar.
Tak ada yang mau.

Rindu itu
Sebiji nanas madu tak dikupas
Tergeletak di atas meja
Menanti pisau mengiris.
Tak ada yang mau.

Rindu itu
Setangkai kembang api mati
Terbujur kaku di dalam wadah
Menanti pemantik menyala.
Tak ada yang mau.

Rindu itu
Kabut tipis tentangmu
Tebal menyelimuti kaca
Menanti cuaca berganti.
Mau tak mau.

Rindu itu
Bukan tentang kamu yang lupa.
Rindu itu
Tentang aku yang tak ingat.
Mau tak mau.

Rindu itu
Rindu ini.
Sibuk sendiri
Hingga ia puas bermain
Lalu menggandengmu pergi.
Kau harus mau.

flowing river, stay in me…. loving to be home
