Where was I these past two months? It is funny how time has passed unnoticed. I was probably hiding inside the mere illusion of myself, wanting to miss so many people, because a walk home past midnight can be quite lonesome at times.  There was also a short visit to countryside, to escape the temporary desperation caused by mathematical equations and theorems.  Atami  Jogasaki Coast

"What's with the sudden interest in travel, Bats?" he asked me during one of our lunches. I looked and smiled at him, while the question repeated in my head. Yes, Bats. What's with the sudden interest in travel? My answer sounded so cliche, "For me, the word 'travel' is heavily associated with particular adjectives: freedom, independent. Also, traveling is the way to escape from daily self,

What will I be in the future? Which city will I live in? Will I travel more? Apartment? Kids? While most of my friends have been settling down and paying mortgages, I am still poking myself with questions and more questions. Weirdly, I no longer feel annoyed. Whenever I walk around Tokyo neighborhood and think about my future, it always involves a shy smile, a soft sigh of optimism, and a tweak

My life lately is a circle of routines. Papers to write and read, seminars and student meetings to attend. On weekend, studying is definitely off the table. I want to do many other things, those which i could not make up during weekdays.

Ia dengar kepak sayap kelelawar dan guyur sisa hujan dari daun, karena angin pada kemuning. Ia dengar resah kuda serta langkah pedati ketika langit bersih kembali menampakkan bimasakti, yang jauh. Tapi di antara mereka berdua, tidak ada yang berkata-kata. Ia ucapkan perpisahan itu.
