childhood

......have you seen my childhood.....
who likes this MJ's song?
i love it!
guys, what are the stories about your childhoods?
i don't know why i keep remembering my childhood these days
all the memories in it,
all my childhood friends,
even the place i used to live,
gosh!
i miss all of them!

just thinking 'bout this makes me so happy
well, let me share this memorable story
i spent my childhood in a small country in palembang
we moved from my parents' hometown in aceh to this country because my father who worked in a mining company was moved there
i was about 4 or 5 years old that time

i still remember everything 'bout this place
from the very first time we moved there,
when the people there thought that we had a weird accent
hahahaha
surely, we're from a different place!
of course there were differences between the language or the accent

but,as time goes by, i learned everything quickly
in a short time, i spoke fluently just like them
but my parents apparently had a hard time learning it
they were never able to speak fluently like me
so sometimes my mom had no idea what i was talking

then when i turned 6, i entered elementary school which was owned by my father's friend
i won't say that i was naughty that time, hahaha
let's just say that i was an active kid
i couldn't just sit still and listen to what people were saying,
i tried everything i was curious about by myself
but, my teachers loved me
they said that i was a smart girl who could learn everything
it was proved by my rank at class
i always got ranked within big 3
fu fu fu :D

i had a lot of friends
and mostly were boys
i went cycling often with them
i never took a nap,
i kept playing with friends after school
some of the games we played are mostly about hide and seek

and now about the food,
you all must know that palembang's most known food is PEMPEK
yep!
but believe me, although pempek is sold everywhere including jakarta,
the taste of pempek which is made in palembang is so different from other places!
well, that's what i think after 5 years living there,and ate that everyday
pempek was my daily food
and beside pempek, there was food called 'model'!
surprised?
so was i when the first time i was asked to eat this food
hahahaha
'model' has some similarities with pempek
what make it different is just the broth
and there was also tekwan
i love it,too!
all three of them were my daily meals
oh! there was also something i used to eat
kemplang!
in javanese it means 'slap'
hahahaha
i know, the food there have weird names,don't they?
kemplang is like crackers which is burnt in fire
then you eat it with chilli sauce

take a deep breath !
now i really miss enjoying all those food
i found them sometimes here in jakarta
but, you know, it's not the same as when i ate them there
i seriously miss them,
and most of all, i miss all my friends
i lost contact with them ever since i moved to jakarta
you know, that time i didn't have my own cellphone,
and things such as facebook,twitter, or myspace weren't exist
now i really wish that i could go back there someday
will you go there with me,guys?
hahahaha
