“Long time no see! Where have you been?” This is a start for a conversation among old friends. They have not seen each other for a long time so that they miss each other. Then, close friends separated for some periods of time will review their activities in the past or check their old friends in nowhere.
This is a start for me to remember past experiences I did in Melbourne, that was in the year of 2000. Even in the class, at a specific class in Monash University, this had been been discussed by July Harrington as she gave her lecturer in front of 11 MORA students. That was the saying she suggested. And I suggested that, in Javanese, nek cedak kabeh mambu telek nek adoh ambune koyo kembang. July was rather surprised, “What does that mean!?” Everything smells like a shit when it is near, as we are separated, all will smell like flowers.
The situation happened years ago is now flying in heart. I miss my friends. I miss a time where I can go Melbourne someday.
