It was a bright Tuesday in Dili on February 14 this year. That Tuesday has been one of the year’s special days because of the Valentine Day name entitled to it and in Dili this day of celebration has been a familiar celebrated day but it has more meaning to the young people as ‘ Loron Domin ’ in Tetum Language* or ‘The Day of Love’.  To the world, Valentine Day is identical with love gifts, chocolate and flowers as well as in Dili though the celebration is identical with young Timorese dating and hanging around the parks around Dili. There are some social events organized to celebrate the day through artificial or fresh flowers sharing to people at the street, catholic schools celebrating the day with a collective mass prayers while the telecommunications providers in Dili providing free calls, the internet, and SMS promo for Valentines to attract consumers. At some part of the city, there may be some social organizations held charity events. Despite being celebr

Lospalos, 17 Agustus 1998 Pada pukul tujuh pagi itu, aku sudah   siap dengan seragam   merah putih dan sepatu hitam kaos kaki putih yang rapi. Rambut hitamku yang ikal sudah disisir rapi oleh mama dan dioles minyak Rita sehingga makin mengkilap. Rambutku dikepang tunggal   dan diikat karet gelang diujungnya sambil menunggu untuk diikat lagi dengan pita warna merah putih dari bahan satin yang mengkilap itu. Mamaku sibuk mencari pita tersebut setelah lupa dimana terakhir kali ia meletakkannya semalam. Ah, kalau bukan karena pita itu, harusnya aku sudah di tengah jalan saat ini. Setelah beberapa menit menunggu,   akhirnya ibuku menemukan pita tersebut dan segera mengikatkannya di ujung kepanganku   dengan simpul pita merah putihnya yang menjuntai dirambutku yang hitam legam.  Didepan cermin, aku merasa seperti menjadi gadis tercantik sedunia hari itu, tapi dari belakang   ujung kepangan rambutku seperti ekor ikan mas Koki   yang menjuntai ketika berenang. Ah tak apalah, toh hari

Disini ku duduk sendiri diantara meja dan bangku kosong Sambil menahan perut yang kosong Untuk sabar menunggu roti bakar yang nyaris gosong Andai saja fokus si pelayan tak kosong Karena sayuran ditangannya sedang terpotong-potong Lalu masuklah dua bule, pria dan wanita duduk di pojok kosong Mereka berbincang asyik tapi mungkin juga sedang berbohong Kulanjutkan hariku agar nanti tak sekedar bermimpi di siang bolong VZ Selamat pagi belun...

Upon being notified of selection as participant in ASEAN-Japan-Timor-Leste residency program and ASEAN Literary Festival 2016,   I was so excited but at the same I   also questioned myself on how I would participate in this event for the   first time.   I asked my Timorese poet and writer friends if they had attended such events but none of them had except for the Ubud Writers and Readers Festival. I   soon came to know that I was the first Timorese to attend this program event. Therefore, I was encouraged by my fellow Timorese poet and young aspiring writer friends to do well at this event, in order to return with something valuable to share   about creative writing which now was starting to emerge in Dili, Timor-Leste.    ASEAN-Japan-Timor-Leste Residency Program (April 29 – May 4 th , 2016) My trip to Jakarta went well and I was glad to be there again for the second time since my last visit in 2013. Overall, curiosity about how the program would run was filling
