Memento Mori

I called her mak tua, she was 77 years old and she died due to natural causes, she was bed ridden for almost 2 month before she passed away. For Bataknese people, there are two occasions that is being celebrated hugely: the … Continue reading Memento Mori
The change

Setelah menikah, ya pasti kudu mesti bertengkar, itu adalah bunga bunganya... Heran Juga sebetulnya... Kok pertengkaran itu disamakan dengan bunga, kenapa ndak disamakan dengan duri? Atau gulma? Atau … Continue reading Senyum
