The Island of Devas

Wow, how time flies. It is the end of January, and I have not updated my blog since last month (last year, thus I could say that I haven't updated my blog for a year haha)

Since this is just an impulsive post as I try to distract myself from revising my mandarin (an escape route to my new routine) I'll keep it short and sweet:) Well, life here is, how should I put it, very fruitful. Of course, it is a totally different from the Singapore school-cum-boarding environment I am used to, but I feel that I am accomplishing a lot of things here too.

Well, let's jump a bit and talk about something more interesting. Java is also known as (well Bali is actually) "Pulau Dewata" (lit. the Island of Devas). I have to admit that most people in Indonesia are far from deserving to be labeled as such heavenly entities. However, I sincerely believe that we are not called the Island of Devas for nothing. There are certain Devas living among us, the gods, or Gods, if you prefer. I like to call them humankind, but they are a level above humankinds, living in the midst of humans. The writers of the grand narrative, the untold story.

I know I should harbor no expectations, but perhaps this Saturday, I might get a chance to witness the assembly of gods, or Gods, if you prefer.

Will tell you more about it.
