Big Puddle The dirt road along the road to my house is covered in cracked and eroded rocks. Soil under the rocks that emerge to the surface is very dense, it is saturated until it can't absorb water. Every time there was a heavy rain, there was ankle-deep big puddle along the path like a river. Today it rained heavily and as usual I go home with public transportation (angkot). The 'angkot' stop right in front of the alley, I step out and stare into the river like road. I walk step by step, enjoying the touch of the water on my feet, thinking about what I have for dinner and what movie to watch before sleep.

Cotton Tree My home is about 150 m away from the front of alley. In the morning and day, it feels very comfortable walking along the alley, but when the night comes suddenly the cold and gripping atmosphere begins to feel. The cotton tree at neighbour's garden is tall, big and dense. On a scorching day, the tree become shelter and its swaying leaves give fresh air. When dry season comes, the cottons skin are peeled off or break and the cottons fall like snow. Happiness in the day time is immediately offset by fear at night, walking under the cotton tree at night make nape goose bump like someone watching.

New Neighbour Four months ago I moved to an apartment in other city. It is two hours distanced from my house. This place has smaller space than my house but wider gap with the neighbor. I am not expecting too much to have neighbor in this kind of neighborhood. We don't have terrace to chatting with each others. I feel like entering a cave and not aware what's happen outside. Yesterday, it's unusual someone stood not far from my car at parking area. She carried a cat which leads to conversation between us. It gives me a little hope that I can socializing in this neighborhood.

Home Alone I woke up in the morning and found out that’s no one at home. This is not the first time, because sometimes my family members have their own activity in the early morning. I start to through the day at backyard where’s my cats playing together. Ok, I’m not literally alone, I have 7 cats that always accompany me. I prepare their breakfast and after that, I have my own breakfast with fruits and a half hour later I got vegetables nodes soup with rice and tofu as side dish. Actually, I have a plan to do exercise this morning but I should done it before that glut breakfast. I watched youtube channel and then I was directed to a channel that shows my favorite rapper when I was teenager. We are all know that a lot of rapper using inappropriate and swearing word, so I can’t say that this man is my role model. It just, I like music, I like art, his song is just a new art for me, the rhyming is so good, and the lyric is genius. I like how he express his feeling honestly despite of others think about him. As I know, or maybe I’m not knowing enough, but he is a good father, take care his family, although some people underestimate and think negatively about him. I can take a lesson from anybody in this world, whatever their races, nationality, family or education background, and any differences that we have. And now, I’m at home alone, I sing a long with his song, my favorite rapper for the second time, while contemplating how’s my life until this time. This is one of reason why I like being alone at home, having a quality time for myself :)

Learning New Language Is So Hard I always realize that I’m not good at learning foreign language. I’ve learn English since my schools time and it’s still hard to do perfect English. It’s hard to pronounce it and learn new vocab if we’re not in community that speaks English, and grammar is another problem. When I’m writing, I just write that feels right, I’m not so sure if the grammar is right or wrong. There’s a time when I write a short story in English and I’m not quite satisfy about the result in the process, and I think I’ve to enrich my vocab more so the story will be more interesting. I like socializing so I want to learn many language as much as I can, and meet a lot of people in this world.
