My dad’s in the hospital Rumah Sakit Mitra Gading. He’s sick, and he’s been exhausted from his workload and pressure from
certain people. Anyway, he is weary and also deeply longing to be with Mom
again.

That’s why I’ve proposed several people to gather funds for
him to go to Perth and be with Mom and Jeddie, even if for a short while.

Kirana has been a wonderful companion. Accompanying Dad
today and went with him to the hospital too. I also went with him, heard the
doctor’s diagnosis but I also had to go to the train station and pick up Elita. (Note: Kirana is not my girlfriend).

Well, on the way to there I felt very fatigued… car sicked
probably so I got off and went home instead.

Later on when she got home I asked Lita if she wants to
visit Dad in the hospital. She was too tired or something, but instead she
borrowed my car and went somewhere.

Anyway, I went back to the hospital stopping by at a Pizza
parlor to buy some pizza for me and Kirana. I bought one regular size and one
large size (which was discounted every Mondays). On a red light stop, I saw
some kids and somehow felt moved to give on of the pizzas to them. They were
very grateful. Repeatingly saying, "Terima kasih, om!" to me. It was
a highpoint of the whole day.

I don’t know why Lita didn’t want to visit Dad today. I know
she has an interview with someone tomorrow, and I guess she just need to
refresh. I still feel… treated unfairly.

Especially when I asked her where she was going.

"Why should you care?" she asked, "I never
asked you where you’re going…"

"I’m your brother," I replied.

She was so unhappy hearing me nagging her for that.

My thesis is still unfinished.
Going back to the matter of motivations and topics related to it.

I usually meet Bang Raymond on Mondays and Thursdays, but it has been ten days since I’ve last met him.

Just now I had a long dialogue with Monica, and later my Dad… discussing my research. Brainstorming of ideas. I really didn’t enjoy it, I mean discussing my research with my Dad, since he’s prone to fill in with lots of his ideas and in times, imposing them over mine.

Nevertheless…
