It's a beautiful sunny day.
I'm in my bedroom, sitting in front my laptop, reading a book to add some information for my thesis. Suddenly, I hear laughter from outside of my house and I see a bunch of kids playing badminton and football. I'm quite surprised. It's been a while since the last time I saw kids playing around.
I live at Griya BNI Simprug. It's sort of apartment which were specially established in 1997 for BNI employees. Believe it or not I was the first family who moved in (June 1997). As time goes by, I met some of my old friends and lots of new friends. We've done lots of things together. From fighting to friendship, from roller-blading to dancing, from birthday party to Halloween party and so on. Well, we weren't always be good friends. I mean, we were just kids, right? :p
On 2004 my family and I moved to Medan. On 2005 we moved to Padang. Finally, (thank you Lord) I came back to Jakarta and moved return to my lovely home, Simprug, on 2006. But things were different. Most of my friends had moved out. Although there were still few of them, we hadn't see each other or go out that much. Perhaps as because the tight routines that we had as we got older. There were new families who have kids, but they didn't go and play outside..
I was completely sad and I still am.. I miss all my friends here, I miss the craziness, the togetherness, the joy and happiness. I miss everything! :'( I really had the best childhood life ever in Griya BNI Simprug. Thank goodness I still can keep in touch with some of them. We had a quite huge reunion two years ago. It was very exciting and I was very surprised to see my old friends that I hadn't met for years.

Well, I hope the next 'generation' (hopefully those kids outside), could make this place as joyful as it used to be. Amen :)
