Expect the Unexpected

This morning will be as gloomy as the night. I was going to bed around 11 p.m. but I couldn't sleep well. I kept waking up and listened about the rain drops all night long.

Ketika kamu sudah mengenal keluargamu yang sesungguhnya, saya tahu pasti rasanya akan bahagia, karena saya sudah mengalaminya.

Tapi bagi saya, keluarga saya adalah kesempurnaan dari ketidaksempurnaan itu sendiri. Saya beruntung dibesarkan di rumah yang sederhana ini, dengan berbagai macam peraturan yang membuat saya jenuh.  Mama sendiri adalah seorang wanita yang saya dambakan.
