"Wife Material" according to our society

Menjaga image sebagai perempuan di masyarakat itu susah. Kayak Raisa, serba salah. Keseringan di rumah dibilangnya ngga punya temen atau ngga bisa bersosialisasi, padahal emang kepengen di rumah aja. Sering main keluar dibilangnya "cewek nakal". Serba salah kan?

Farewell Letter

So my teammate, Zhen, decided to switch company. We were more than happy to hear that, yet we were a bit sad because we had to say goodbye to another good person. Well, that's life right? People come and go. And she wanted to make sure that we know her short stay in our department still left quite a mark in her brain, so she sent a very well-written farewell letter. She wrote about all of us, and how she remembered each and every one of us.

And this is the one she wrote about me

"You have to learn to like your job, because you need the money." 

- temen kantor

But is it though? Is it? Does it really have to be that way?

Jemu

kamu yang terus menggurat luka
dan aku yang mulai mati rasa
mulutmu yang kerap berdusta
jemuku kian meraja

Cerita Ibu kota

merantau mengejar ibu kota
demi sesuap nasi dan seonggok cerita
ditemani panas terik sang surya
bercumbu erat dengan asap knalpot kopaja

That time when I asked weird stuff (again)

On a bike, heading home.

Gue: Kuya, I think that building is about to be demolished. 

Kuya: Which building? 

Gue: That one *point at the building covered by ridiculously huge black curtains* 

Kuya: Ah yeah I guess so 

Kau sudah ke mana saja?

gerakmu terlampau lincah
untuk kedua tanganku yang sering goyah
sore ini kau ada di Jakarta,
esok harinya sudah di lain benua

Boneka Kantoran

Aku hanyalah boneka kain perca
Yang kau ayun suka-suka
Yang kau paksa menari
Kala aku ingin menyepi
