Another heart breaking night in December

A December where I heard that she got a lover

A lover that's definitely not me.

He's probably better than me.

Oh God, are you testing me?

I wish to know of your secrets

Why you're keeping me conscious to witness

myself not being the reason of her happiness

Do you think she is not for me?

Or is she just not for me first?

Are you keeping her for him first?

Or are you keeping me for someone else?

But as much as I yearn for The answer

and as many times I find a clue of the truth

I will still be waiting for the day you break up

The day I become the reason that you're happy

~A poem by me, Raihan D. Purboyo

Just last night I found out my crush has a boyfriend. Posted in her story, celebrating her birthday in a fancy restaurant, the day before her actual birthday. I could only say "Happy birthday" and "congratulations on your new man!", trying not to expose my feelings.

From the fertile lands of the Ethiopian highlands I grew.

I was noticed by Kaldi's goats, chew after chew.

For I have created them to something new

Nocturnal goats, running and jumping past their curfew.

Years have past

I've met the tongues of Africans, Arabs and Europeans

Soon, the tongues of Asians and Americans

I've seen beauty for how they value me, traded me, and brewed me

For every sip, I've made ideas and peace

I've calmed Beethoven to Kafka to compose their arts

And I've invigored Freud's to Tito's soul to change the future

With the touch of their hands, I've grown everywhere

Under the scorching rays of the star called sun, I've dried

Hitting the scalding heat of metal, I've been roasted

By the cuts of the rotary blades, I was ground

And with the essence of life, I was brewed.

~Written by me, Raihan Dhiaulhaq Purboyo. I had a GERD attack in 13 May 2022, and the doc' said I have to reduce coffee consumption. I wrote this for I missed the taste of coffee so bad.~

Saudade.

There is a Portuguese term, "Saudade", meaning longing.

Not just any longing. A deep, melancholic longing.

For someone we love, or something that would never return.

Happy to reminisce the good times,

sad to realize that it will never return

It came from the Latin word "solitatem"

Meaning solitude or emptiness

Fits with the empty heart of a man in saudade.

Empty, his life with something that have left him

Empty for he can never get that fulfilling moment back.

~Written by me, Raihan Dhiaulhaq Purboyo~

20 Feb. 2020 - An Elegy For Qing Han

Today's sunset had fully set

The pastel purple skies have turned black

She had left for 12 days already

I never knew who she is until I was told that she will never linger here again.

Yet an odd attachment with her made me empathize for this stranger

Her pen and brush compose distinct masterpieces no one can duplicate.

A savant of visuals, a multatuli, for she never stopped puling a tip of color from her book amidst the battles she fought.

Words of yore told me that she was, and still, an angel.

My memories with her are forged in chimera, for the truth of life seperates me from this angel.

I had yet to help her in life before departure. I had yet to be a friend.

Here I am. Delayed for an introduction for you had been called before I was ordered.

Here I am. Knowing who you are by your history.

Qing Han (20 March 1990 - 8 Feb 2020)

Rest well, Qinni. I wish I had known about you before you died.

[raihanviteska]

Life should be lived like this. You are born crying and everyone is smiling. You die smiling and everyone is crying. You lived such life, dear!  I am crying. RIP @qinni   

[raihanviteska]

I wish I had known about Qinni before her death. Seeing how wholesome and distinctly skilled she was made me wish for a time machine just to support her. May Allah give you the best heaven can.

Wow, haven’t been on Tumblr for over 2 years now xD~ I’ve no idea if people are still following me here; migrated to other social medias by now like me xD;;.  I didn’t really just want to leave it like this though.

I was recently diagnosed with stage 4 fibrosis sarcoma cancer, and the doc thinks I got about 1-1.5 years left. I guess I’m really here to kinda….leave my mark? These are just some of my work from the past few years I haven’t been uploading here :3

I’m more active on Twitter, Instagram and Patreon. Every bit of support helps <3. I’m not sure if I’m ever posting back here, but thank you guys so much for reading.

This Maybe Odd, But I Want A Sims Related DLC for Battlefield 4

Maybe it's a little too late to talk about Battlefield 4 at this rate, but I often thought of Sims 4's universe being connected to Battlefield. I often thought of a simlish speaking faction, maybe Sulani would be a good idea. Sulanese Maritime Defense Force? Cool or not? Subjective to y'all's feelings.

Story goes like this:

Apparently the Polynesian archipelago of Sulani hides a massive amount of natural resources, a tantalizing fact for world dominators. Two countries are within thre resourceful region of Sulani, a British settler state, Royal State of West Sulani and the native state, Merdheska Republic, allied since they were allegiant to the Non Aligned Movement. With both People's Republic of China and United States of America demanding such materials, and the countries in Sulani neutral, and both Sulanese nation not wanting to have an involvement with the business of war, both China and USA invades the archipelago, China attacking West Sulani and USA attacking Merdheska. The two Sulanese countries bolster each other's defense and a brotherly oath to protect Sulani at all costs.

Well if it wasn't too late to find out tumblr's ban have been withdrawn in my country.

I haven't checked much news about tumblr until I was almost done with exams. When I heard the news, I don't believe that tumblr's really back. Until I checked it myself. I guess I could do my coffee blog here.

[raihanviteska]

That moment you pronounced letters like W as "Wé" instead of "DoubleU"

MW2

"Ém Wé Two"

WTF

"Wé Té Éf"

BTW

"Bé Té Wé"

When you start adding words of your native language to English sentences

"His jenggot is like so long like people ngira dia arabic gitu"

"When you're playing Piano Tiles and suddenly your jari gatel"

My Excursion To Seloliman, Mojokerto

Hi! I'm Raihan, an 11th grade student from Highfield. 24 September 2017, the school made an excursion event, the 11th grade went to Seloliman, a village area south of Surabaya. I was excited to visit as I was really demanding a photo hunt. I was teamed up with Torry and Hosea to make a video and a presentation about the history of Seloliman and other sites. My classmates are divided to two groups, one goes to Janjing village, one goes to Sempur. Janjing Group: Ichsan (Guiding Teacher) Edo (Guiding Teacher) Salim Hosea Raihan (Me, Class Leader) Audric Torry Gabriel Sempur Group: Yeyet (Guiding Teacher) Asri (Guiding Teacher) Aurel Rachel Gina Winda Asya Aqila Fildza Silvia Naura (Vice Class Leader) Kiki Surya PPLH (Environmental Studies Centre) Staffs Yudha (Guide) Alimin (Guide) Arifin (Guide)

[raihanviteska]

24th September 2017: Jakarta My equipment are finally ready, however my father and I were rechecking items packed to prevent any missed items. 6pm, my father went out to buy some appliances and martabak (a street meal) for my dinner, tasty, and I also ate some chilli pepper, making it spicy hot. I finished eating, then did my Iša prayer before I went to bed. It was 8pm, I planned for a night sleep but my thoughts about my trip kept waking me up. My equipment, files to download, everything! Until I slept at 10:16pm. I was expecting to oversleep the next morning, being late to the airport.

[raihanviteska]

25th September 2017: Jakarta Never thought I'd wake up early, exactly at 2 which I planned. I ate a plate of instant fried noodles, a sunny side up egg and just mineral water. I brushed my teeth and took a bath after that. I then departed from my home with my father at 2:26am, took us an hour and 9 minutes on wheels, heading to the well known Jakarta airport, Sukarno Hatta Airport. As I reached the airport, only Surya and Aurel was there, the other students were later. Kiki was the last of the batallion to arrive, but at least he wasn't late. While waiting for my classmates to arrive, I was checking up videos sent to Alina Baraz for her birthday presentations, and chatted with my friends about random things. My mother came by to meet me during the wait, she just came back from Lembang. As I was done waiting, I bid a farewell to my parents, and went in to check in. Conventional airport things happpened, so pretty much nothing special happened, except the fact that our guiding teachers supplied us with flavored bread and milk. My class and guiding teachers went to the waiting room, to wait for our board in. It was 5am and I haven't had my Subuh prayer, so I and some muslim classmates prayed as we had time. As I was done, my teacher demands to put unconsumed bread in my bag as my bag had a lot of space, and they did not want to bring a big box to contain bread. Midflight All I did when I sat was prayed, ayat el kursi, dzikr and safar prayers. I took pictures of the environment outside the plane, but if I had nothing to take pictures of, I watched some episodes of Battlefield Friends in my phone, a comedy series of videos, while also drinking a robust coffee the plane provided. The notification about the plane getting near to the Surabayan Airport, I turned off my phone but still, hunting pictures.

[raihanviteska]

Surabayan Juanda Airport As my plane landed, I felt like I need to urinate, so I tried to find toilets in the airport. On my way to the luggage retrieval, I saw a very handsome man, which my alter ego fell in love with, but he has a woman, so whatever. I found toilet, however it was full. I waited in the toilet for a while, until I felt like my friends almost had every bags, so I decided to check out the luggage. Thank Allah not many had been taken, and I still have time to wait in the toilet. I still have a hurried feeling to prevent myself from missing my friends, finally got a place to urinate and felt calmer. I rushed out to my friends, turns out they just finished taking the bags. My class went to the airport exit, just to wait for transport to Seloliman. It took a 20 minute wait, to the point where my legs sweat and my pants start feeling heavy, with the fact that my luggage is heavy, but a its weird my back did not sweat much. EnRoute Seloliman We went with a mini bus, or also considered a group van to go to Seloliman. We first reached to Juanda road, it was not traffic congested, unlike Jakarta. It was a peaceful drive, until one of my classmates, Audric, played his trap genre music. I didn't feel bothered, its just that I didn't like such music. The bus was low on gas, so we went to a nearby petrol station. While reloading gas, I decided to get to know a little about the driver. His name is Warnoto. Finished refueling, we went back on the road. The environment was similar to Jakartan urban roads, just more peaceful, more empty, but also more infested with military bases, especially naval and marine bases. After Juanda, we went on the Lt. Gn. S Parman Road, more empty than Juanda, but also infested with military bases. Our bus stopped by at a convention store, so I also dropped down to check out whether there are yogurt. Though I got one, Heavenly Blush Plain Greek, however I did not get the one I demanded, Yuforia Yogurt, but it was fine though. At least I got yogurt. It tasted good anyways, so I was satisfied. Heading back to the road, we went south. We reached Jenggolo road, and me and my classmates saw a large Indonesian flag planted on a telecoms tower, west of us. On route, I was busy watching Battlefield Friends Season 6, keeping me entertained, but also making me lose focus about the road trip. I ended watching at The New Porong Arterial Road. Mid arterial, there was a construction of buildings, possibly government owned companies or living quarters. The bus turned west to Kesambi Road, a suburban road, and there were a lot of farmfields and lower middle class housing. The road stretches along to Mojosari. South of the roads, a mountaineous landform from afar is visible, Arjuno mountain and possibly Kawi. After Kesambi, we headed south to Tanjangrono Road, the mountains are more visible since we are going south.

PPLH (Environmental Studies Centre) Seloliman We reached the nature conservation centre of Seloliman, the weather was cool, it gave a calming and chilling environment. 10:40, free time starts, and the whole guests were offered brunch. We were provided with spinach soup, beef stew, corn mix fritter and snakeskin fruit. We can also request eggs, but it's just not in the menu. Some students wanted to play board games, as one of the guiding teachers, Mr. Edo, brought a game called "The Resistance", a studeny brought "Omayakawa" and another brought a deck of cards, but no one played cards. It was 12:02, and I had my Dzuhr prayer. While I was doing my prayer, I heard an amplified speech from where my classmates were playing games, so I pronounced faster and decided to only use Al Fatiha per rakaat. I went back to check whatever happened, but it was nothing very serious, but a teaching about making a type of a ginger ale, still a part of the free time though. Ingredients include serai, ginger, kayu merah, kapulaga, cloves and keningar (I didn't know what they are called in English language), all boiled and later filtered so only liquid comes out. After free time is over, we got on a pick up truck, and we went to the villages we are going to. EnRoute Janjing Village On the pick up truck, since the passengers sat on the open cabin, we are exposed to the local air. It was refreshing, unlike polluted Jakartan air. The roads were wavy, especially nearby the village, steep and very steep slopes exists, and one slope may also be a long one. Despite the fear factoring road, it was a fun factor too. Plus the nature that entertains us with their green beauty.

Edit (23 November 2017): I made a typo on  “ a studeny brought "Omayakawa" and another brought a deck of cards” It should have been��“student” instead of “studeny”
