Tanya sore itu

Tau kau laut itu mengingatkanku akan apa?

Tentang senyummu, makna tawamu yang tak berhasil kutebak itu

Sehangat percikan air laut yang menerpa kakiku sore ini

Mesti tak dilaut kita sendiri

Ah. Laut kita yang mana pula?

Tapi kau jelas kukenang

Dan cerita-ceritamu tentang cita dan romantisme pergerakan

Ah. Kan katamu “Torang ini ana Maluku, anana pulau kong tako aer par apa”

Laut sedekat itu; Laut sejauh itu

Dekat terlihat mata; Jauh pula ia dari “bisa memakmurkan rakyat”

Kan kau tau laut kita kaya? Kan kau suruh aku agar tak takut pada gelombangnya?


Lalu sekarang setelah semuanya, untuk apa kita jadi nelayan saja?

The six months update (kind of)

Hi there,  It’s your R1-going-on-R2 here. HAHAHA. Dang.  I was looking at my phone wallpaper today, of Janik Sinner smiling from ear to ear, lifting the Australian Open trophy. The joy in his face was so pure, the excitement like he never imagined he would win a Grand Slam. Before it hit me, it was only six months ago. Yet, January and the beginning of this journey seem very distant. It feels like I have been here for at least a year and a half, yet the novelty and adapting keep happening. So, when the newest batch was getting welcomed, I couldn't help but think to myself, 'Really? That fast?' You see, the residency system relies on the continuity of knowledge passed through independent study, bedside teaching with attendings, and from senior residents to us, the juniors. But in all honesty, though the last six months have been packed for me (and except for the wittiness, the athletics, and the know-how), I am not sure I have enough clinical knowledge to pass on to these 1...

Grieving - Part 1: The upside down world

Background: Staring at a peeled-beige wall, waiting in an empty office for my dad’s death certificate.  Facing another heartbreaking moment because two weeks ago, it never crossed my mind that I’d be writing my father’s name on a paper declaring his death. Gritting my teeth as hard as I could to keep me from crying. Was it a successful method? I won’t answer. Has anyone ever told you that when you cry too much, your head, eyes, nose, and even salivary glands can hurt all at the same time? Well, they can. I don’t think I’ve cried this hard since elementary school. I’m the kind of person who usually observes my thoughts and feelings, thinking, “Huh? Interesting” and sitting with them for hours until they settle. Yet this time, grief swallowed me like a tsunami. Those thought-watching processes didn’t stand a chance. My father’s passing came as a shock. I won’t share the details of his death, but the news arrived on an ordinary day as I prepared for my ICCU shift and for a while, my w...
