A Cool Morning in Dalung

It's very cool this morning here in my Dalung house. I feel it's like during the month of July, where Bali is usually in the coolest season. I think it's because of the whole day rain yesterday. 

I tried hard to get up, and still with my blanket wrapping my body, I enjoy my "hot" Kelapa Kopyor biscuit. I have the Kelapa Kopyor as the replacement for a cup of coffee or tea. I avoid to drink coffee or tea for almost one year now, as it feels uncomfortable in my stomach.   

I hope today will be a bright day. I miss the heat of the sun, as it is already gone for two or three weeks now. 

Let's welcome a new bright day... 

 

Our Morning River Bath

This picture was taken on May 17, 2012. My wife, my two sons and my dog, Tiggy just finished taking a bath in the Lambuk river. Although the water was not clear, but it was clean. We enjoyed the bright morning sun, and the abundant flow of the river.

We always miss this kind of situation, and hope we can have it forever. 

My Working Table

This is my working table. It looks untidy. Yes, its old and dirty. I bought it when I ran a property business on Kenyeri street in 2003. I'm used to do most of my daily activities on this table. Although it is old, for me it's still okay and convenient. 

Besides this table, at the same time I also bought 10 student's chair, and one office chair. Why? While I run the property business, I also did a semi private English Course inside the ruko or shop I rented. I split the room into two parts, the front as the office for the property, and the back one for the English Course. Both of them could run well.   

This table has a kind of a sweet memory for me. It brings my mind back to the difficult finance situation I faced on the time. I will tell you more about my difficult finance situation in other post. I will keep using this table as long as it is not broken. So, keep strong ya...

Start Blogging Again

 

Friday, January 22, 2021, I commit myself to start blogging again. It has been over a year since I wrote my last post. I will write about anything every day, yes, every day. I believe that my writing idea will come like the flow of the Ho river, one of the three rivers near my village. 

Being a writer is always my dream since I was in my high school. I'm sure it will come true very soon. Currently I have some book translation works, and hope to publish one of them by the second quarter of this year. I am also continuing some draft of books about career planning and development. There are many things I want to write and share them with you people. And now it will be the right time to restart.

When I was in my high school, I dreamed of having a typewriter, and live in a simple sanctuary in the Ho river side. Now, as I decide to quit from my professional hotel, property, and English learning career, I try to make that dream come true. I will buy a good typewriter, and build a bamboo hut in a piece of land, just on the river side. I will tell you more about it, when it's ready.
