Terhenti di Malalak

Malalak, what is it? No, bukan 'malala' tapi saya ke daerah ini memang waktu itu dalam rangka malala (jalan-jalan tanpa tujuan). 

Malalak adalah daerah (kecamatan mungkin) di antara Pariaman dan Padang Pariaman. Saya melewati tempat ini karena ingin tahu jalan ke Bukit Tinggi dari Pariaman selain lewat jalur biasa, yang kalau macet bisa seharian. Kabarnya tempat ini lumayan angker. Banyak cerita-cerita horor yang diceritakan teman sepanjang jalan.

How my Sunday went


Few days ago I was called by one of my high school juniors who is now a university student. Turned out they were holding an Islamic festival for speech, poetry, calligraphy, and other similar competition. Well, of course I said yes. I was in need of running away from this little city just to feel the longing of coming back.

2013 Favorite Moments

2013 has left some simple yet incredible memories. I have been the kind of person who falls in love with simple things in life. These are some simple things this year which deserve my hamdalah :)

Wasting my evening at Dynamic English Course
Reading The Hunger Games trilogy

Merpati peak for a perfect new year

What did you do in new year's eve? Well, what I did... was this. 

You can't see the stars but I promise they were there, really clear to any naked eyes
I climbed Merapi mountain with my folks. I didn't reach the top in time of the fireworks (though that was not my intention at all, but it was always fun to see fireworks on any occasion, don't you think?), I was in a nice position to see the beauty of the stars and the city. It was like two skies collide.
