recall. reflect. redirect. (translation in french = je m'ennuie!)

I'm trying to remember what it feels like to have homework. to stay at class twenty four hours per week. to analyse the funny face of miss Jacob at library five times per week. to wake up every saturday morning at seven (sekolah gila..). to type individual assignment every night. to get fight with people at my group meeting (though I'm wrong. well, it's all about pride, guys..). Call me crazy, but I want to recollect the feeling of being deprived of sleep, time and energy. I remember coming home from school on Saturdays and collapsing on my bed. Saturdays were like coming up for air after a week of being suffocated with homeworks.

These days, work has taken on another meaning. It's defined as staring out the window, eating all types of chocolate cakes à la Picard, and sipping green tea. Up until now, I've been taking it all for granted. Gue coba modifikasi sedikit. Sehabis ngetik skripsi dikit, baca novel² lama, jalan² dan menjelajahi belantara Paris. Seperti hari ini, sehabis anter Yeng ke stasiun Gare du Nord, nggak ada angin nggak ada apa, gue masuk ke Museum of Middle Age, St Michel. Lumayan sih, dapat pengetahuan baru, tapi abis itu bosen lagi. Trus gue coba perhatiin hal² kecil kehidupan di sekeliling gue (I call it small things in life in order to appreciate my bored life) : tiga orang kejepit di pintu metro terhitung dari jam 12 siang sampe jam 6 sore selama gue keliling kota, satu orang kepleset pas ngejar RER A, penjaga library pacaran di telfon sambil ber ah uh ah "oui, ma chérie.. oui, ma puce.." sementara satu cewek indonesia manis, dua nenek² bertopi à la Madame de Fontenay, satu bapak tua bergaya rustic menanti dengan manisnya di depan meja informasi, masing² dengan book list dan pertanyaan masing². Lalu enam orang keluar, termasuk gue, setelah membayar di kassa disertai alarm pendektesi bunyi dengan kerasnya.. enam orang yang bayar di kassa yang sama. Jadi salahnya siapa? Kassa! Bener² deh tuh library. Kekurangan sumber daya manusia yang berkualitas..

"Here's the bored club. All you have to do to join is admit to being bored then we sit down and be bored..." Hehee.

So, Vis.. Where are you? Tell me stories. Recommend me books. Drive me around your city.
