Most of the reason would mainly due to me being encaged at this place for too long. Living on a small, crowded island does not do good after a while.
I haven't been quite myself for a long time. Too much time spent hiding in my small room, just wow-ing the days and nights away. I can't remember when was the last time i even thought of anything else apart from just wow. Work has gotten mundane, life has not been any colourful either. Gym membership has gotten rusty. Everything around me seems to have fallen to a state of lesser priority, everything except for my virtual self.
Batam wasn't that bad of a place. Not quite as bad as what i'd imagined it to be. Though it's alot lesser than Jakarta, but the people and stuff made me feel 'comfortable'. As if those days in Indonesia have returned...but only for a day. The lunch at KFC, where we were all busy stuffing our mouths with fried chicken, white rice and perdekel (i almost forgot they have this in the menu) and the dinner; nasi goreng complete with Teh Botol. Like a life lost from so long ago, the sense of familiarity and all made me feel at ease. And i'm still contemplating such sensation up till today.
Enjoy aje!
