For the last 2 days, i just realized that the view on my way back home at night is sooooo beautiful. My brain still have the record of it. I remembered when I stood up inside the bus, while listening to my mp3, I was watching outside the window too. I was on my way back from work and when the bus driven through the fly over at Kuningan, I discovered the beauty side of Jakarta at night. I saw many building with lights on, I saw Jakarta at night. I regretted so much that i didn't bring my camera with me -humph-. Because I don't have my own vehicle, so it's much better to not bring anything precious outside, especially at night. If I have a vehicle, I would've stopped for taking pictures.
So after I've seen the view for a while, the bus taken me passed it fastly. If I could posted what I saw, it would be lovely. My hands are itchy and my mind is full of thoughts, I have to do something. One day I want to take pictures of it.
When I first saw the view, I thought that the city is alive. I mean not about the people who lives in it, but the city itself is alive. In my mind the city was moving, growing and struggling. I saw mystery in it. Although I can't compare it to big cities like New York and Tokyo, but I think Jakarta has it's own personality. Arrogance and hypocrisy are the best when you picturing Jakarta. But, if I tried to think again, there are still more behind its arrogance and hypocrisy. Jakarta is a city with full of colors. You will find more than one color in here.You will find people who believes in supranatural stuff. You will find bad people. You'll find nice people but naive. You'll find creative people. You'll find gossips. You'll find smart people but with bad luck. You'll find stingy people. You'll find a generous people but hypocrite. You'll find people that pays well and otherwise. You'll find people who's too desperate too live and otherwise. You'll find piracy. You'll meet women with over make up. You'll find transexsual with so much confidence. You'll find gay, lesbian and bisexual. You'll find perfume with unreasonable price. You'll find idiotic people but with good lucks. You'll find street musician full of talent and not...etc, but most importantly you can find your world here. After all Jakarta is a big city, you can find almost everything here, materially.
One time, I heard from the Indonesian who lives overseas; "Indonesian people this... Indonesian people that...". This guy lives in overseas for so long, and I thought he can't understand the beauty being Indonesian. This Indonesian had lived in Jakarta for only 12 years. But I am better than this guy, I live in Indonesia for almost my entire life, and when this guy said Indonesian people it means Jakarta's people. I couldn't change this guy's opinion about Indonesia (read: Jakarta) it was simply because the guy is stubborn. Darn!
note: even though the picture does not related with what I am talking about, don't mind it. I just like to post something =P
by the way... that cactus is growing up well, love it!
