Macan Keluar Kandang

Yes. Macan-Keluar-Kandang. This is the term I’ve been using a lot lately.

Silly, I know. But for most of the times, it actually meant more than just some 3 funny words I spilled together with loud laughter. It’s the thing I’ve been holding onto while passing through these wild changes in my life, in our lives. This year must have been a roller coaster for most of us, with the skripshit thing, and all the drama underneath.

But these changes here are my most highlighted peaks in my roller coaster ride:

graduating

breaking up

working

Emphasizing on work here… Well, my work is fun enough, meeting a lot new people, going to new places, having new routines, facing new problems, and being the youngest among the others. But the cutest thing is, since working weekends (and Thursday nights ) seem to be moooore precious than before!

My most Macan-Keluar-Kandang moment is when I got the chance to (impulsively) bought my mum a ticket to Bali for her birthday! That time, I felt I’m in control and I have all the guts to do anything I’ve been wanting to do.

Yah well thats only the happy part, dont really need to share the after office hour works, office-thing weekends, not visiting daddy right on his day, losing my just-being-lazy times like some of you can still do, and so on. Why is that? Because I know I will never be satisfied with my life if I choose to focus on those kind of shits. Stop comparing with other’s life, like my friend said: “Rumput Tetangga Rasa Ganja” haha. You just need walk out your cage to chase your happiness.

So let the lion sleeps tonight, but you, go get them, TIGER!
