Now,  I don’t know yet what I would become. But, I’m not searching anymore.

Well, let’s see if I can think of something excited for me to do on that special day. I doubt it though. I have a feeling it will just go by, it will just be the same as other ordinary days. So what if it is?

And I got one. Well, two, indeed. One in Bahasa (Indonesian), the other in English (the one you are currently reading). Read the rest of this entry »
