NEO that I know

I looked at the opportunity to have something different from Adri's contemplation. He talked about the experience, insights and many things that he contemplated on his own.

I know, it needs a brave to express his believe and faith in a memorabilia. I would rather call that it is a daily notes of what Adri is expecting to extract something different that he got until his quarter of life.

NEO is a contemplation from someone that has mixture of feelings in his life. One's thoughts that wish to share to the public about what has happened on the writer's mind.

For those are viewing things from Adri's book to come and get together. Adri tried to act being himself and someone else in different settings. There are Neo, Toto, Marlon, Gadys and others.
Having different characters are not that simple but it is encouraging. He tried to understand himself by expressing something in different ways. He sets a free by having different character which I know it is a mode of releasing the things that in Adri's mind need to be elaborated.
First, It is Adri's second debute that mix up in between his wish and the things he is facing. His experiential learning now is working through his words.

Adri understands how difficult it is to explore detailed experience that he is experiencing.

The setting of the experiential learning

This is the second time of Adri's debute that reflects the rules of the game of a the-just-grown creature that is seeking the art of life.

Setting ceritanya dibuka dengan kehadiran pemuda Bogor yang mulai beranjak dewasa. Mulai menikmati kesibukannya sebagai seorang pegawai sebuah perusahaan dan tinggal dengan kawan lamanya semasa di sma dulu.

Tanggapan terhadap NEO:

Waduh, NEO indeed inspires me to write down something from the experience I face around my environment.

NEO reminds me to do something in the writing world.

NEO adalah gambaran diri yang dahaga akan sesuatu. Dahaga akan daya upaya mengekspresikan luapan emosi diri.

Adri menurutku sosok kreatif yang masih mencoba mencari bentuk melalui bait-bait tulisannya.
"Berani yang standar", Standardized bravery

Menurutku begitu. Keberanian-keberanian itu diungkapkan sebagai luapan emosi, curah pendapat dan pikiran mengekspresikan sesuatu secara gamblang yang kurang gamblang.

Keberanian itu harus senantiasa diasah dan diartikulasikan. Keberanian mengekspresikan sesuatu termasuk eksistensi dirinya harus menjadi bagian dari proses kreatif mencipta sesuatu.

Aku walaupun bukan penikmat seni menulis yang komprehensif, namun paham terhadap cita rasa berbahasa.

Dalam konteks ini, aku rasa Adri harus lebih banyak membaca dan membandingkan dalam mengekspresikan sesuatu untuk mengasah cita rasanya berbahasa.

Mengasah intuisi berekspresi agar matching antara istilah yang digunakan dengan konteks yang dipaparkan.

Hal 13:
Paragraf ke 2: Tapi ternyata … cintaku memang tak pernah sebanding dibanding uang
Redundancy. Solution:

Tapi ternyata … cintaku tiada banding walau dengan uang sekalipun

Hal 14
Paragraf 2 : Aku anak yang tak terpedulikan

Sounds the words are not matching one to another that it supposes be expressed as follow:

Aku anak yang terabaikan…

Nuansa
Nuansa bercerita lebih pada kemilaunya perkotaan dengan tokoh yang merasakan kesendirian di tengah hiruk pikuk kebisingan.

Kerinduan
Kerinduan untuk memperoleh "sesuatu" setidaknya kebersamaan dan seseorang yang menemani kesendiriannya.

Selanjutnya cerita berlanjut dengan munculnya tokoh-tokoh yang menurut penulis sendiri merupakan gabungan karakter dirinya sendiri dan orang lain.
