pelan-pelan, ya?

"Pelan-Pelan" (slowly-slowly), I'm attempting to jot down some stories and thoughts while living in Kupang, Indonesia as a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant and a "China man," as the locals would rather call me.

Valentine’s Day Haikus

So they say Timorese boys are best known for being romantic.  Today, I decided to put this to test with a lesson in writing Valentine’s Day haikus.  Boy were they right.  On this Valentine’s Day, sending you the most loving and hopeful words from Kupang.

I can’t forget you.
You’re like a star in my heart.
Love you my baby.

Can we meet again?
In Kupang or Palembang
I miss you so much.

I remember you
Where are you now my best friend?
Happy Valentine.

I really need you
You’re important in my life
Please come to me now.

I love you so much
I cannot live without you
You’re my everything.

I love Valentine
You are very beautiful
Be my special girl.

You are my sunshine
Everything will not be fine
If you are not mine.

You are my first love
I cannot live without you
You’re my pretty love.

Love you forever
You are my inspiration
I give you my love.

First you’re my best friend
Second you are my boyfriend
Last you hold my hand.

Happy Vday.
