Best Boyfriend Ever

Best Boyfriend Ever

Girl 1: My boyfriend never screams at me. He’s also never rude to anybody, he doesn’t swear at all. He never cheats on me, and he doesn’t waste his time playing computer games.
Girl 2: Um… Have you tried poking him with a stick? Because I think he’s dead.

Quote #73

Aku mengingatmu dalam khayal yang membuatku terbang
Hasrat yang meyakinkanku bahwa aku bisa bermimpi
Memikirkanmu membawa senyum di hatiku
Melihatmu melelehkan air mata dari beku jiwaku
Andai bisikan menjadi mantra dan harap menjadi pinta
Kan kuteriakkan namamu dalam doa tersuciku
Tahukah kau? Perpisahan terjauh bukan antara bumi dan surga
Tapi saat kau ada di hadapanku dan kau tak tahu
Aku mencintaimu…

Did You See How Poor People Can Be?

One day a very wealthy father took his son on a trip to the country for the sole purpose of showing his son how it was to be poor. They spent a few days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

After their return from the trip, the father asked his son how he liked the trip.

“It was great Dad,” the son replied.

“Did you see how poor people can be?” the father asked.

“Oh yeah,” said the son.

“So, what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.

The son answered, “I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them.”

The boy’s father was speechless.

Then his son added, “It showed me how poor we are.”

Leaf’s departure is because of Wind pursuit. Or because Tree didn’t ask her to stay.

Tree

The reason I’m called Tree is because I’m good at painting trees. Over time, I started to use a tree on the right hand corner as a trademark for all my water colour paintings. I dated five girls when I was in Pre-University. There’s one girl whom I really love a lot. However, I never dared to woo her. She doesn’t have a pretty face, a good figure or outstanding charm. She is just a very ordinary girl.

I like her. I really like her. I like her innocence. I like her frankness. I like her cuteness. I like her intelligence and her fragility. The reason why I did not woo her is because I felt somebody so ordinary like her is not a good match for me. I’m afraid that all the good feelings I have for her will vanish after we get together. I’m also afraid that the gossips that follow after we get together will hurt her. I felt that if she’s meant to be my girl, she will be mine ultimately and I don’t have to give up everything just for her. The last reason made her accompany me for three years. She watched me go after different girls as I made her heart cry for three years.
