My Grey World

We’ve heard a lot of cliches around this : you are what you eat, you are what you wear, you are what you do, etc etc. But are you really what you listen? And do you define what you listen by how you define yourself? I’m pondering about this since my choir (visit SMU Chamber [...]

I think I just wanna write this post as a public service so that people will stop the misunderstandings that the language that Indonesian people use is called “Bahasa”. “So, do you speak Bahasa?” “Er… Yeah?” You see, people, the word “bahasa” actually means “language” in Indonesian.
