Selalu menyenangkan rasanya untuk bertemu dengan kawan lama. Kepada jurnal yang bercerita, nada-nada ambient yang berirama, lalu secangkir teh tarik di penghujung malam buta. Yang kesemuanya sama, berpilin mengundang bahagia yang diam. Senyap, lalu tentram. Teruntuk imaji yang kusengajakan tidak padam, biar berkelana menyusur ranah pikiran semakin dalam.

Tentang detik-detik yang diam-diam menghilang. Semesta yang senantiasa bergerak, menuju pulang. Disini, ada baris-baris kata yang ingin terkenang, membawa kisah tentang para petualang, yang gemar menjelajah pada sebuah negeri sebarang. Dimana konon bahagia adalah udara, yang menyesaki setiap ruang dan dimensinya. Dan tawa adalah bahasa, yang ramai memenuhi setiap raut para pemukimnya.

Mereka yang tidak pernah kembali. Mungkin terlalu jatuh hati, memilih untuk singgah lebih lama lagi, dan lagi, dan selalu lagi. Sampai maut menyalami. Bahkan duka tidak kunjung menghampiri, seperti terus berlari, menghindari.

Lalu habis. Seperti tinta yang lelah menulis. Dan titik. Menyudahi yang pelik.

This should be posted since weeks ago but this Little Miss Mager never got enough intention to touch the Tumblr dashboard again before today. So, to begin it, first we’re gonna go to the kitchen in the backstage where ideas were cooked and the ‘night life’ and 'zombie age’ began;

Then here it comes the meals. First, some birthday wishes for the receiver, framed in an accordeon-look-alike card. All is one hundred percent handmade.

Tools: carton paper, cardboard, watercolor, Concorde paper, duplex paper, black marker brushed by wet paintbrush.

A mini four-chaptered storybook wrapped inside a box. The concept of the storyline was inspired by (500) Days of Summer the movie. All is still handmade.

Tools: cardboard, wrapping paper, Concorde paper, writing ideas.

What should be a wall birthday decoration (but this one was flipped so you may not be able to see the whole letters like HBD etc). Another handmade product.

Tools: printable (and downloadable) wrapping papers, Concorde paper, black marker brushed by wet paintbrush, paperclip, wood brace, duplex paper, rattan rope.

Some others–include the main gift and the packaging–weren’t captured because of the hectic moments, I personally blame myself for being a deadliner. But I’d still like to post them later indeed, though it means I need to borrow them again from the new owner. Not a chance to ngemodus anyway.

Anyway, gotta thank someone for keeping me busy during December last year 'til the middle of January and giving me reason to keep up with this old hobby which I rarely got time to do now. But a happy birthday saying would be so late right now, so… let’s just let this post end.

Enjoy your gifts, Sir.
