Subuh

Wow, tnyt udah lama gak melihat suasana subuh seindah ini.

Langit gelap mulai membiru, tapi gemerlap bintang masih jauh lebih banyak dibandingkan untuk ukuran jam segini di Jogja. Bulan sabit bersinar terang banget di timur, dan tetep aja bintang2 kecil lain di deketnya keliatan. Malahan di sebelah kiri bawah bulan ada bintang yang terang sekali. Sepertinya bintang itu terlihat agak sabit juga. Huh, wish i had a telescope so that i can make sure.

What shocked me the most was: THE SOUTHERN CROSS WAS NOT UPSIDE DOWN ANYMORE!

Weird, this is very weird. The southern cross is the only star pattern i have known since childhood, because it's too obvious: it's on the south, and it's like the flag of Australia! Usually these stars are not upside down, it should have an upright position like the southern cross in the Australia's flag.

But since summer, i was a bit amazed by the fact that the southern cross was upside down, where it usually was just tilted a bit to the clockwise direction. This still happened until a few days ago.

I've been thinking since this subuh, could it be possible that at these days of the season, the southern cross stars will actually rotate from an upside down position at dusk to an upright position the next dawn? Or have it been like that all the time? Hmm... i don't think so, i believe it's just recent.

Enough about the moon. This subuh was amazing. The sky was very clear, and it was a bit colder than the days before. Horses were walked out from Randwick Racecourse to somewhere i have no idea, passing my old Kensington Public School as usual. Randwick Council Grafitti Buster truck also passed Doncaster ave this morning, hmm i wonder if the randwick council guys do actually work at this time? Cool.

Hhh... i should have woke up this early and get out more often.

Keterangan:
- subuh = dawn
- southern cross = a formation of 4 bright stars and 1 smaller one, located on the south.
- Randwick = Kensington is a suburb in the Randwick City, New South Wales

(nb: please don't ask me why i'm posting more and more in english now than in bahasa indonesia. probably this is a side effect of living alone without adhika staying at the room to talk with. spending most of my time of the day at school might have affected this as well.)
