Aku Penolong Super!

Aku, Haidar.

Umma bilang, aku super.

Ya, aku penolong super! Seperti Poli.

Aku bisa melewati rintangan.

Sap sap

Menaiki papan panjat itu.

Hiiyaa.

Menuruni perosotan tinggi.

Yippiee

Melompat-lompat seperti kodok.

Hop hop

Belari cepat seperti kelinci.

Wuushh

Yay!

Super Aku

Aku Sedang Bertumbuh, Tapi Haruskah Aku Berlari?

Aku kira, dewasa itu lepas dari 17 tahun, karena itu ada sweet-seventeen. Tapi ternyata itu hanya waktu di mana kita mendapat hadiah KTP.

Aku kira, lewat dari angka 20, hal yang luar biasa. Bisa melakukan apapun yang aku mau. Tapi ternyata sama saja.

Aku kira, lewat dari 25, sudah banyak hal yang aku pelajari, ternyata masih banyak salah yang kulakukan. Malah makin banyak hal yang membuatku bingung.

Akhirnya aku hanya terdiam di satu titik.

Termenung.

Jalan mana yang harus aku pilih.

Dengan cara apa aku harus menyelesaikan semuanya.

Tapi aku bilang, tak usah terburu-buru. Jika memang perlu dicoba, cobalah. Toh sampai kapanpun akan ada salah. Mumpung masih muda, masih banyak kuota salah yang bisa dipakai. Cukup bersabar sambil meresapi semua kesalahan itu dan menjadi manusia yang lebih baik.

Karena percayalah ada proses tumbuh di setiap tahap kehidupan.

Tapi realita tidak sepelan-pelan itu. Ada ekspektasi yang memecut, yang bisa membuat kita lepas kesabaran, sampai-sampai lupa untuk meresapi kesalahan.

Aku berlari dengan tertatih-tatih. Dengan kepala yang terus berputar kebingungan, hati yang tersayat kata, dan kaki yang lemas, berlari tanpa istirahat.

Aku ingin semua baik-baik.

Tapi ternyata tidak semua baik-baik.

If It Hurts, It’s Never Okay

Photo

There were series of events that hurt.

I thought, most of the time, it was okay, because it was done by those whom I love me. I thought all the no-s were all because they loved me back. I thought the time when I endured wounds were my gratitude on everything that they had given me.

But it wasn’t.

The trauma that grew you up, surprisingly, was scary. The birth of the dysfunctions damaging your future, while the fearmonger haunted you everyday.

I hope nobody feel what I feel.

I …

I want to heal myself for you. For you to live happy and free from all the psychological fears.

You should.

Visit me on medium, too!

Thanks!

Saung Angklung Mang Udjo: a Must-Visit Cultural and Educational Destination in Bandung

By Nur Hanifah

 For vacationers who seek for a cultural and educational destination in Bandung, Saung Angklung Mang Udjo is a must-visit place. The place provides a complete package for those who want to learn about Sundanese culture, especially angklung. Visitors will see an endearing performance in a small amphitheater surrounded by a bamboo forest. The spectacular short show performances feature angklung orchestra, wayang golek (puppet) show, Sundanese traditional dance, and other Sundanese traditional arts.

Established in 1966, Udjo Ngalagena (1929-2001) built the attraction together with his wife believing in his love of Sundanese culture and art. Conserving Sundanese traditional art and culture is Udjo’s main purpose in building the house. The house is thriving for decades and slowly getting the respect and recognition from the world. In November 2010, nine years after Udjo’s death, angklung is recognized as one of the Intangible Cultural Heritages by UNESCO.

Hundreds of visitors, both domestic and international, are coming every day mainly to see the performance, but there are also people who are chilling out around bamboo forest. The bamboo forest in Saung Angklung Mang Udjo is a conservation and preservation site in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment and Forestry.

Beside the puppet play, the visitors can watch a play by women through a traditional dancing called Tari Topeng (Masked Dance). The dance tells a folktale back from the Majapahit era. In the beginning, the dancers are not wearing a mask from the beginning of the play. Rather, the dancers wear it to show a certain development on the story and the characters’ emotions.

d.      Helaran

Helaran comes from a Sundanese language which means parade. In the past, this is a ceremony where one is being grateful to God for giving the rain, but it changes its function.

Wah, I found out that I was really active in editing photos and making vectors back in 2018, especially in February.

This was supposed to be a gift for my cousin who really likes Bae Jinyoung, but I never give it to her lol. I’d done a simple double exposure on the background with those clouds and do some cutting (what’s it called?) from an advertisement pic of Innisfree (?).

Can I say the brand though? haha orz.

Under the Sea of Stars

They sit together, side by side. Shoulder bumping slightly as their cheeks turn red, but night conceals and cold romantically supports it. Stars reflected on their eyes, smile occur on their face. Giggles begin to fill the background of the night.

[rabbitscup]

Cagalli always likes to be like this. Sitting by Athrun’s side at night, just looking at the stars and feeling the wind blows through the night. No wars, no politics, no conflicts.

Could her life always be like this?

She knows it’s impossible because she has Orb on her shoulder. She has to set aside her feeling; Athrun and all of her wishes. She has to avoid everything that could lead her to a catastrophe, including Athrun. Frankly, what she wants the most is hug Athrun every time she meets him in the parliament building, in the event where they bump to each other, when everyone rejects her decision, yet the truth hurts.

Another gift for a friend’s graduation. Has been buried in my laptop folders for a year. Now I decided to post it here instead of being buried without anyone knowing this masterpiece of mine exist (lol). 

I know the watermark isn’t the same with my other artwork. This was a collaborative act back then. I planned to open a store which sells a customized notebook (my friend marketed this through her friend and me as the creator of the product), but it’s never happened until now. lmao.

Hope someday I can make it happen.

*pray hard*

Oh, right. It’s a book cover design. It seems a bit weird, but it turns out great to be a book cover.

Raw vector from the previous post. I’m aware of some mistakes here, it’s something to be learned about. Nothing comes out perfectly the first time you try something.

Frankly, what she wants the most is hug Athrun every time she meets him in the parliament building, in the event where they bump to each other, when everyone rejects her decision, yet the truth hurts.

She understands that this upsets Athrun at some point. How many times he has to defend himself from the jealousy because Cagalli chooses her work over Athrun? She knows it, but she is afraid. She is afraid that she can’t keep her promise to Athrun. She is scared that Athrun might change.

“Cagalli.” His baritone voice chanting softly in her ears. She looks up to him, meeting his beautiful emerald eyes. His stare looks so sweet like there is honey dripping out of his eyes.

“I know it’s hard for you.” Her eyes widen as the sudden topic he starts. He speaks her mind as if he ever reads it.

Though she is startled, she smiles. She takes his left hand into hers and holds it gently. She looks down and shakes her head. Tears almost fall out of her eyes, but she successfully holds it.

“No.” She is trembling as she said it.

“Not at all.” After a couple seconds of pause, she has gained her strength to say it to him. “I should have said it to you instead.”
