My grandparents’ house in Cirebon, West Java, Indonesia, is one of the places I would love to go to in every short-term holiday, like weekends and Muslim holidays, such as Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha. Honestly, I don’t go there to find game consoles or to get good signal for my modem. Instead, I go there to give my brain a rest and to free my mind from things related to academic.

The house posseses tranquility I can’t find in the other place and I think it is that pulls me in. The state of peace apparently comes from the layout of the living room and the evidences of life of six children, one of them is my mother. I’m sort of an old-school person when talking about art and design that I’m pretty much thankful for my grandfather’s decision to keep the old furnitures in the same place for more than 30 years.
