Yesterday, I spent a day hanged out with my elementary friend, Nunik. We went to 'Museum MACAN', the current viral temporary art show in West Jakarta. Nunik is currently live in Bandung, she majoring Business School in Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB). We went to the venue by commuter line, heading to Palmerah station, then picked up by Grab Car to heading to the venue. It costed IDR 40k for student and IDR 50k for adults. It a bit pricey for me, but it still okay to enjoy the shows. We spent almost three hours in the gallery. Took some pictures, had a talk about the paint, and all random things. We didn't met each other for a long year, so we had so much things to talked.
Right after enjoyed the gallery, we walked the way to found out a restaurant for eat. We didn't have lunch yet, and it almost (or maybe more) 4.00 pm. Finally we found A&W! Thanks for staying there A&W. We had more chit and chat during ate our late lunch. She told much story about travelling, the tips and tricks to realizing your travelling plan, and so on, until she told about her best buddies. We prepared to gave a surprise by came to another friend of us office in South Jakarta. Then we decided to walked away from A&W to found the nearest TransJakarta shelter. Yeay, randomly we choose TransJakarta to went back (and also because our friend office's easier to reach by TransJakarta).
As I knew (on the past), TransJakarta have 'own way' or called bus-way. And as I updated from the news, other transportation are forbidden to pass this way. We checked the google maps right before took the bus, and the apps said we will had 4 hours driving, by bus, which is a mass transportation. What the hell is going on. But I thought that was okay since West to South Jakarta was quite far. Then after we were on the last bus transit, which means we were getting closer to our destination, shitty thing like 'a very hectic traffic jam' came to us. We were in the bus, TransJakarta, which is a mass transportation that supposed to had a private ways, but since there were a LRT construction, was a messed. Like in one hour we only passed 2-3 kilometers. In one hour! It was suck. Nunik and me are a train person, even the train is full but we could arrived on our destination right away. Faster. I do really love commuter because I used it almost everyday in my life.
The 'in the bus with traffic jam' situation made us talked about our future, future when we were lived our own life, with our own willingness, our priority, our own family, etc. We were not really want to lived and spent our life in a city. Seeing urban life was so suck and hard to be understood. Why people can spend too much time, stuck in a traffic jam without doing nothing like they have more than 24 hours in a day? How can they do that continuously everyday, from Monday to Friday? I really appreciate that whole people living their life, but I can't imagine mine. Isn't life in city that hard? Since I wasn't know what I would to be (even until now I still did not), I never really want to live in a big city, capital city, or something like that. More city in Indonesia. Doesn't mean I wasn't like to live in Indonesia, but I think there's another place to lived in besides metropolitan city. If I have to choose, I will choose to live in rural area, which had a fresh air to breath everyday, bird-songs every morning, and everything that made my me and my future family start the day with calm. Who didn't want to lived that life?
And, me and Nunik have a same dream about our future. We will have a Jeep and have a family road trip very soon. Aaah. Live is simple when you lived it simply. Doesn't mean I don't want to be a reach person, I really want. and I want a physic and inner wealth. I want to have a lot of money, but I also want my money used to good things and useful for everyone who need it. I want to live happily with other one happiness. Like I thought that life is simple when you live it simply.
I don't hate someone who want to live in a big city, and they comfort with urban life, like match! But maybe our dream and priority are so damn different ;). Wherever we stay at, we have to be useful to everyone and never forget to be happy and happy!
