It's 3:58 AM now, and I'm writing this while listening to the song Taliin Mongol by a Moorin Khuur ensemble from Mongolia. The song suits the surrounding. Even though I'm in Indonesia, listening to this song makes me feel like I'm in a grassland of Mongolia. With the silence surrounding me, I really feel like I'm in one. Just that the cold temperature and the wind is missing.
Isn't it amazing how music can evoke so many different feelings, emotions and memories?
I'm writing this post because my heart has been feeling really "weird" for the past few days. There's something I want to say but at the same time, I don't know what I want to say. But then yet again, my blog has been a platform where I can talk to, and at the end of the day, I'll feel better after writing. There are some scenarios in life where words speak louder than speech.
It's been about a month plus since my Inner Mongolia trip. I've been missing the trip, and listening to these Mongolian songs just remind me of the trip. It's one amazing journey that I'll never forget. And I'm always reminding myself od how lucky I am to have been chosen for this trip. I've printed the photos, and I'm going to print more. And yeah, that's one way where I can always return to my memories.
Life is pretty short. I'm always up to taking up journeys and travels and venture to the places I've never been to. I came up with the line, life is the world undiscovered. So well, in life, try to discover as much undiscovered place of yours as possible.
Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, died a few days ago. I was shocked by the news, but well, he had been fighting with pancreas cancer for quite some time. I'm sure, his fight will not go to a waste. I truly admire how much he had changed the world's technology with Apple. I'm not an Apple fan myself, I do own an iPod touch and I do use iTunes. But I have to agree how brilliant Apple products are.
My Facebook and twitter is flooding with his quotes. There's one that I love a lot.
Life is short, don't waste it by living someone else's life. Or something along that line.
It's really true, and it get me thinking and thinking.
Thinking.
