◖ places

• baca di tebet // finally got to visit for the first time this year. such a lovely place with great book collections. read a bit of memoir from the women's prison by nawal el saadawi and mata yang enak dipandang by ahmad tohari.
• perserikatan buku jimmy // another place that has been on my list for a long time. had a good chat with bang jimmy, albeit short, about my pick of books. my choice fell on robohnya surau kami by a. a. navis and mata yang enak dipandang by ahmad tohari. i didn't get to finish mata yang enak dipandang at baca di tebet, but it was so good that i had to have it in my possession.
• kopi kitu // a tiny neighborhood cafe tucked away in a quiet residential area. affordable price, good coffee and amazing donuts.
• bersuaka // came for their book club, berkutubuku, left with a plan to come back just for their kopi susu alone. it was that good.
