Why "Forget Jakarta"

The phrase was taken from a song by Adhitia Sofyan, a beautiful one indeed. It reminded me on how I'd love to hate the city. I've never actually live in Jakarta, but that's "how" I live in. But wait... hate? How can you hate the city "how" you live in? BIG YES I CAN. Just until last year, I was still struggling to get right out of this GOD forsaken town. A nice job at a new place, in another part of this country, where no one's ever knew me before, starting from scratch, uhmm... Makassar, the fastest developing city in Indonesia, Balikpapan, or Surabaya sounds good. What a purrfect concept. But here I am, crossing over Jakarta, everyday just like any other normal people would do: 9-hour job, stranded with my feet "cuffed" on my desk while my thought on the other side of those walls. I'm still here, conscious but my thoughts are somewhere else.
