Burmese Language

There are many languages spoken in Burma, but Burmese is the official language in Burma. Burmese is also a tonal language. There are four contrastive tones in Burmese. They used a pitch, phonation, intensity, duration, and vowel quality to make a different mean.
Burmese has 33 letters, and 12 vowels. They write from left to right. I'm learning at this level (very basic? yep). Why Burmese? Basically, I'm in love with their song. This one is my favorite:

lay phyu - nga yae la min (covered by The Four)

I don't know what does the song mean, but I really love the melody. I tried to translate it by google translate. But too bad, at that moment I realized that google translate can't transtlate to Burmese. I still wonder why there isn't Burmese Language there, especially Burmese is an official language. Then I start to search the lyrics and the guitar chord, and somehow I start to intrest in their alphabet too.

I continue to write down my dreams because I enjoyed to read it back again. Sometimes they are associated to each other, sometimes it just a weird and doesn’t really has the “Heart”, but sometimes it could made my throat even felt the heartbeat. Mostly, my dreams didn’t really had a main character, and it was like an incident lead by another incident, but didn’t really had a climax, or the real story. That’s why I ...

“Mainan” Baru Candu Baru

Kamis malam awal Maret lalu, di salah satu sudut pinggiran kabupaten Sumedang, tak jauh dari kampus empat perguruan tinggi besar, sembilan pemuda (yang akan disebutkan dengan nama samaran) berkumpul di rumah seorang kawan mereka. Sebagian besar dari mereka adalah mahasiswa baru, tapi ada pula yang dari tingkat dua dan tiga. Mahasiswa dari kampus yang berbeda-beda ini dipersatukan oleh latar belakang hobi yang sama, dan tentunya alkohol. Mereka bercanda, makan malam, serta bermain kartu. Sebuah rutinitas untuk memangkas waktu bersama. Salah seorang hadir membawakan permainan baru bagi malam itu. Permainan tersebut tertanam dalam tiga lintingan kecil dan tersembunyi di dalam kotak rokok. Tentunya bukan rokok dan terlalu mungil untuk ganja. Mereka sebuah tembakau yang akrab dengan julukan “sinte” atau “ganja sintetis”. Salah seorang dari mereka, Jarwo, mengambil dan menyulutnya. Ia mengisap hanya dalam satu tarikan. Dilanjutkan ke temannya, Andre, yang memang sudah terbiasa menggunakan...
