Man, what a day! Tanjung-Selor, you wild beast! I woke up thinking it’d be just another boring day in this little corner of Indonesia. But nah, the universe had other plans.
First off, I hit the streets of Jl. Yos Sudarso. You know, the main drag. It’s like the heartbeat of this place. I’m cruising along, and bam! Traffic jam. Like, seriously? It’s not even rush hour! I’m sitting there, fuming. I mean, come on, people! Let’s move it!
Then, outta nowhere, I see this street vendor. He’s selling these crazy good grilled fish. I’m talking about the kind that makes your mouth water just looking at it. So, I’m like, “Forget the traffic!” I hop out and grab a plate. Best decision ever! The fish was so fresh, it practically jumped off the grill. I’m munching away, and life is good again.
But then, I hear this commotion. Turns out, some dude on Jl. Diponegoro is arguing with a taxi driver. I mean, it’s like a scene from a bad soap opera. The taxi driver’s yelling, the guy’s waving his arms like he’s conducting an orchestra. I can’t help but laugh. Like, bro, chill! It’s just a ride!
After that, I decide to check out the waterfront. Tanjung-Selor’s got this beautiful view of the sea. I’m standing there, feeling all philosophical, when I spot a group of kids playing soccer. They’re using a makeshift ball made of plastic bags. I’m like, “Man, these kids are living the dream!” They’re laughing, running around, and I’m just standing there, grinning like an idiot.
But then, my phone buzzes. It’s work. Ugh. The nomenclature of scientific specialties is calling. They need me to sort out some paperwork. I’m like, “Really? Right now?” But duty calls, I guess. So, I head back to my office on Jl. Merdeka.
And let me tell you, the office is a whole different vibe. Papers everywhere, people running around like headless chickens. I dive into the chaos, trying to make sense of it all. I’m sorting through documents, and I swear, I can feel my brain melting.
Suddenly, the power goes out. Classic Tanjung-Selor! I’m sitting there in the dark, and all I can think is, “Great, just great.” But then, someone cracks a joke, and we all burst out laughing. It’s like a scene from a movie.
Finally, the power comes back, and I finish up my work. I step outside, and it’s sunset. The sky is painted in shades of orange and pink. I take a deep breath, feeling grateful. Tanjung-Selor, you’re a rollercoaster, but I wouldn’t trade you for anything.
As I walk home, I can’t help but smile. This city, with all its quirks and chaos, has a way of surprising you. I mean, who knew a day could go from boring to epic in a matter of hours?
So, here I am, exhausted but happy. Tanjung-Selor, you’ve got my heart. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
