Stranger 2/100 (Hard Life Clown)
i met him today when i was took rest, after walking to hunt some street pic around passer baru street, jakarta. i sat and buy a bottle of water at the next booth of his dimsum bike booth (we called it siomay in indonesia). he start the conversation at me first and asking about my gear i was holding. i suprised cause he know well about photog gear. he said he love photography too cause sometimes it's relaxing to take a street pict of someone emotion. after that conversation we talk about so many things from how sucks the government of indonesia to prespective about life.
Maybe not all ppl like us can pass through what he been through.. He sell dimsum at daytime till noon then he is security at someplace which very far from passer baru need 1,5 hours with bike till morning then at daytime he back to dimsum ,he not even sleep sometimes he said !. and at the weekend he become a clown.. i know life's very hard here in such country like indonesia.. but he give me some words ,he said " yeah life's hard man, i did work hard now because of the accumulation i have to pay of what i did in the past. dont do work too hard but not too much playin around either, balance your life... those balance life will walk along with your happiness cause, happiness it's the real money ! don't stop dreaming,cause i stop dreaming and that's made me stop doing.. and the reason i like being a clown is cause i really like kids i really like to make everyone happy cause that's the only my happiness to see somebody smile and support kids cause they are still have opportunity to catch their dream now i raise 33 dreamers and 2 is my real kids.."
