Desire(s) in life is a weird being. The greatest thing I felt lately is the fact that I am moving on to another new phase, or actually more like a sub-phase of a new phase. It is that I don't have to teach a class anymore next months. I don't know why, but I felt a great relief. Of course we all familiar with teaching job and know well the worth of it. I am glad that I tried it, enjoyed it, loved enjoying it, and now can live it behind for good. (Let's say for a good two or three years.)
That's my garden of perpetual delight lately.

Starry Kapuas
I am on a ferry crossing the Kapuas river now. We are on our way to Pontianak driving on road from Ketapang since yesterday. The whole trip has been quite exhausting for me. But the reward is here now tonight as I look up the sky. Stars are beautiful! It's pitch dark up there after a whole day of raining yesterday. Oh... always baffled by this astronomical feat, a chance to take a peek of the inner working of the universe. I also feel connected to hundreds of generations before me of people across lands who had been looking up at skies as the most ancient book.
Do you realize that we are not looking at merely objects but the fabric of time and space. Each twinkling of the stars are a bit of information from the past, millions of light years away (or ago).

Oups, we got to the other side at Tayan now. Got to go.
