Building a Foundation

When a building is depending on its foundation, our life's strength come from our heart. There even though we don't really know where it lays in our body, we know that it is the 'soul' that on which our life is pulsating. That particular night while taking pictures of old buildings in my hometown, I realize where my soul belong to. Architecture was my life and stay as an architect wouldn't be a heavy job for me. There lays my soul of life and there stand also a soul I missed much lately. It may have been only several days, and the road ahead is still far. As the train moving forward needs a source of fuel, I'll be in need of your supports.



Time will tell just how much this all will worth and I do believe that you are right, we should take advantage of our 'momentum' to take a lead in our togetherness. We were never been too much in the serious line when in comes to relationship, but I feel that once we are together, those troubles seem to melt away and I learn to trust you. We both learn to care each other and no longer busy with our own world. We include each of our plans in the long run and it was fun to discuss them with you. Opportunities are endless, dreams are reachable and we are a good team.

To build a strong building that stands in decades it needs calculation and good components. As we put it, human relationship is based on 'trust'. And to gain this we should focus on communication. At first I wasn't really keen on having to consume much of my time in it, but know I can see your point. Throughout these months, there may have been misunderstanding, white lies, or 'escaping the truth mode' that extensively hit us. Although they are there, this doesn't stop you to keep on asking and talking to me on what the problems were.

Now, looking back and looking forward, I can only see 'us'. Shall it stays that way, dearest one...

Life is like a train

You know that our life is like a train? We have to go forward, as the train that always goes forward in its rail. (i almost forgot that there is also one trip from Semarang to Bandung that i get into the train and it go backward, reverse in about one hour, and sure it make me feel sick!)This few months I have spend my life in several trip with this thing, so it is like I’m getting familiar being inside this thing. GO to rail station, jump inside, and take my seat. Sometimes, just sometimes, the aroma of it can smell bad (when we sat in the front line, usually because of its broken door that cannot be shut properly, yaks!) So with life, sometimes, life is sucks, and you can feel the bad aroma from the front door. But most of it, I enjoy my trip, just like I enjoy my life, being me and myself. Being with you, together, just the two of us.... (And of course I’m enjoying the moment when you sleep on my arm in that one trip, I miss that moment!).

If you don’t go to the train station at the right time, you will miss it, and so with the momentum of life, the opportunity, if we don’t do it at the right time, so it will go away. The point here is about “momentum”, opportunity that we got here, that should be spend in the right way. Everything, from your studies to my works, let it go smoothly and straight into a good direction. Let’s stay focused, both of us, for our next journey. Just like a train...

Steps.. one by one

I like my friend's metaphor in describing their relationship situation. It's like we are heading to a place together, yet I let you wait in the platform saying,

"Wait there, I'll buy the ticket so that we could sit together in the train."


Our live has been too long passing on paralel tracks, that we didn't notice aside of that track. We never see along the view of our tracks that we never had the chance to meet nor even toknow the existence of the other. Now that our hopes have been realised, we see each other in a better perspectives, a whole complete human being, which is never perfect, though it doesn't make me love you less. It's even made me to love you even more, to care for each details of our life together more and to feel our breath synchronised in our Universe.



We are in a crossing that let us seeing things together, we have had similiar likeness and dislikes so our way of seeing is not contradictory. You complete me in a way that I couldn't understand. Yet it makes a lot of sense. To me, this life is whole again, the colours are in range of hues that are very pretty just like that evening, when I stopped at Koeln train station. Captivated by the context of our situation in above mentioned metaphor and sky colours that evening, made me realise that nature has provided me signs that in one point I would meet you, My Earth... And here we are at this junction, I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
