Being a devoted writer (blogger to be precise) is not easy my friend!

I lost my mojo to write for the last several months, causing my blog in a state of vacuum for quite a while. I know when starting this blog, responsibilities will come with it. This blog is not only a place to express my mind, it is also a work that I have to continuously maintain. Sadly things are easier said than done. Things after things, events after events passed by or sometimes just wander inside my head without me having a chance to put them in writings. Yes it is always easy to find excuses for what we’re doing, in the end of the day I could see myself as a big procrastinator.

But not today, not starting today..

This maybe just a little, but I’ll start writing again!

Let me share the latest thing happened in my life. Last long-weekend I went home to Makassar. For me going home is always a joy and a burden at the same time. Joy for meeting my mom, dad, siblings and friends. Burden for continuous demand from my dad to get married soon. Its not that I don't wanna get married, just not soon.. I don't think I'm ready for such responsibilities, yet everyone else around seem to take that as a minor thing.

Anyway, lets just forget that for a while and focus on the joy. Every time I come home, my youngest sister always lingers by my side. When I'm out with my friends she would come along, when she needs to buy things, she would ask me to accompany her, she even sleep with me. My mom said every time I left home she'd be very sad but she's growing now, she can manage her emotion better. She loves to eat yet a bit picky on foods.

Another thing about going home is meeting up with friends, its fun since I don't meet them on everyday-basis any longer, even a short meeting would mean a lot of fun. Last holiday I just met several friends back home, I catch up a lot with Hilda, the successful entrepreneur and bride-to-be, and Ryan, a busy interior designer, we spent time updating each other stories at a coffee shop.

-this time just the three of us-

Another meet up was with Uthar, Nunu and Angga, all of them are seniors back then in campus. We went for a late-lunch, hunting traditional snacks, wandering around Somba Opu, watching sunset and eating pisang epe at Losari Beach, then rushing back to my house to get prepared for Wira's wedding reception. That day i had kapurung, one of the traditional food from Palopo. It's served with grilled fish and raw chilli-tomato sauce. Actually I've been craving for this food for quite a while before i finally had it, thanks to Uthar. If any of you happen to visit Makassar please stop by at RM Tiga Putra, they offer various traditional foods, you should try!

In short, its a nice holiday, very short though. I love being surrounded by my sisters and parents (minus the fuss about marriage), i love shopping with my mom and sisters, i love hanging out with my friends, i love the weather, i love the foods too . I wish i could spend more time at home, away from the office routine, away from burdening thoughts, away from everything.

-sunset at Losari Beach, will be missing this for a while-

p.s: to Wira, if you read this, sorry for not putting the group photo at your wedding, couldn't find one with good quality ^^v
