Fun

Learning, life, This Person
Fun under the sun,
Running, walking in circle.
Happy finisher—

my 1st 5K

fun!

Kawung Kopi (batik)

Learning, life
Another sheet came,
Calling sight to decipher
The codes well written—

a spread of Kawung Kopi handmade batik

Kopi is coffee. Obviously this kawung batik is designed and hand drawn based on the image of coffee beans lining across a sheet, showing geometrical patterns.

The colour of sogan (earthy hues of batik) makes this pattern look magnificent and enigmatic— calling you to give meanings as how the pattern calls the vibes in you.

Matur nuwun, Mbak Izzah

Banana Flower

Learning, life
Banana flower,
Delicacy with story—
Once living fully

tada!

well mixed

lemongrass, galangal, Javanese bay leaves, shallot, garlic

removed…. one by one? yes, one by one, slowly with all my heart

removing the pistil that won’t be soft even after cooked

Sitting

Learning, love
Sitting, Beloved
In between two quiet spaces
Thinking about you

looking forward to seeing you

good morning….

beauty in silence

(maybe) didiscus

hyperacum

white baby breath

eucalyptus leaves

wrapped in pink

pink ribbon

silhouette is always gorgeous

closer

here is that that sits at the weekend accompanying some self learning

Among

Learning, life
Among all the mess on a table
Sits silently a vase of
Five red roses
Talking to foliage
And nodding flowers,
Singing a prayer
For me
Reading the colours of the day.

messy table is a pretty background for a weekend bouquet

Green

Learning, life, Poetic, This Person
I'm green, Beloved
Standing as young as a tree
After a shower.

being green is freshly thinking based on what’s my breathing brought me: peace & acceptance

Bowing

Learning, life, love, Poetic, This Person
Bowing, Beloved
I to all telling me off
That I am lower.

I’m bowing to all, I’m in a lowest position to respect the whole universe–

Thank you.

Brightened

Learning, life, love, Poetic, This Person
Dear Life....
Even if you're as gloomy as dull days,
I'll brighten you up.
There is so much colour saved for
You.

let’s start with yellow

then more…..

yet I truly know my colours don’t always make others’ day so I decided to be as bright as I can be & won’t let others’ colour bother me

The Wolf to The Moon

Learning, love, Poetic
The wolf to the moon
"I miss you, the eye of nights."
She sets, counting days.

time starts with the count of a rise

love starts with the count of a prayer

trust starts with letting go

space starts with acceptance

you & I starts when both howl in unison — calling what’s the moon is hiding

The Cave

Learning, life
Where is the quiet cave
Where I can read books, sleeping?
It's where trust is lost.

if I’m to live in a cave, l’d like to be in a cave with a library & a kitchenette

Sunset

Learning, Poetic
Sunset, Beloved
Whose Colours blanket this heart--
Everything adds up.

today’s sunset from my shower cubicle

Book of Love

Learning, love, Poetic
This book of love, Love
Its pages whisper your names.
Beauty, Majesty--

thanks for the space in life in which emptiness is truly not the empty

Between Raindrops

Learning, love, Poetic
Between raindrops, Love
I find hope and fear meet up
To climb a mountain.

feeling the gap between raindrops isn’t as easy as clapping hands 🍀

Noise

Learning, This Person
A noise, Beloved
In the ears, never within--
Gap of a light speed.

sometimes a noise is a vibe that triggers a good rest, just like TV screen at my childhood — at that time there was only 1 TV station belonging to the Govt & at midnight after “Berita Terakhir” our TV screen would be full of “buzzing ants” like the above picture 😁

Destined

Learning, Map It!
It's destined, my love
Feet walk to where heart is pulled.
Where brain runs no more--

Ratianah Kebaya is always a nice place where I talk to both Ratianah & Putri, 2 Singaporean friends who share the same attention as mine: “batik & kebaya” ☺️

Wardah Books, visitors seen from the staircase 💕

legendary staircase, more than 100 years

trust me you’ll like everyone serving you in this corner — either brother or sister, one is always reminding me “you have some roses, do you want to spend it today for your books?” and my answer is mostly “no, thank you not today; next time when enough to buy a set of books” 🍀

some people said kebaya & blue jeans won’t go well – to me it’s a perfect match even when looking blur 😁

Breeze

Learning
Natural as breeze
I walk the road to sunset
With words recited--

I loved reading Jane Austen’s novels back at uni time; then I downloaded movies adapted from her novels in AppleTV. Her wittiness as channeled through the characters & flow of stories, & clarity about how to make a character a normal human being with weak & strong characters is….. superb!

Among all heroines of hers, I like Elizabeth Bennet & Elinor Dashwood. Their clear thinking, depth of love are their common personality traits; in fact while Lizzy is witty & brave, Elinor is taciturn & reserved– contrast!

Gentlemen? Most of my folks at uni loved Mr Darcy, while I love Mr Knightley better. Mr Darcy is #3 for me. 😁

Enjoy your reading, WordPress. If you are Jane Austen fans, please share your thought.

Weekend mood should always be relaxed & carefree.

What I Don’t Want

Learning
What I don't want is associating myself with anyone but myself, a human being in the making

Then marching lines with sprinkling comma,

Before one summarising period

One day.

Thank You, All Doors

Learning, Poetic
Thank you, all doors
That open or not
For showing me many ways
Whether or not to take
Are for whom
You declare the choice.

thank you, wise words for touching my age with laughter, smile, grin & tears

☺️

Passage of Time

Learning, life, love, Poetic
Time has passages
Walked by hearts with decisions.
Sloping and climbing--
Love welcomes what's been waited
Without payment and complaints.
The meadow grows green.

time gives me space to grow without asking me to pay how much ever I’ve learnt in the journey & without complaints how long I’ve had to reach a point of understanding

time allows me to grow from nothing to fly up above any layers of skies where nothing is empty or empty is nothing

time itself is so kind & patient, so much I’ve owed to time so the only thing I can do is keeping repaying to it by treating it gently & truly

dear, Time…

…. wherever you are,

thank you

🍀

have a good weekend, WordPress
