Back to the Origins
Ever thought of where your ancestors come from,
Where you originated from,
Which state or country you should belong to,
Which race you should have pride in.
I once had an Indonesian colleague who worked due to 6-month attachment. The way she communicated and befriended took me back to what I truly am. I started to listen to Indonesian songs just for a bit. I wondered why I suddenly loved music in this language so much. I thought over and over again.
I didn't realise the answer was so simple; I am a pure Javanese at birth, but a Singaporean at heart. It might just be a possibility that I love this kind of music due to my own genes. Who knows. Life is a mystery, explore more.
Most importantly, for all 18 years I've been hiding my own race identity, defying the real facts of myself. If only I realized sooner than later, then I would have a better plan to live in Jakarta or Bandung. That's right. I have a pure Javanese blood and I like Indon girls.
