My singer, my hero

The singer who looks like Lilo (KLa Project's personnel) sang on a lounge at Carrefour, nearby my place. He usually performed his talent around 6 t0 7 pm. Nothing really unique about him, his long hair, his black outfit (always the same one whenever I saw him performing), the way he sang and played the organ, even the songs (only easy tunes of recent and popular popsongs).

The first thing that cought my attention was a cartoon box beside his organ that sported invitation of the guess' participation. I always wonder, was participation in that contect meaning song or financial request? The question remained unanswered, until now. I never had the chance to come across anyone putting anything into the box.

Second thing was "the act" on pause of his shows. After praying (yes, I saw him praying in a nearby mushala) he would take a dinner. A lady who was with him all the time would feed him, you know, scooping the meal out of the plate and put it into his mouth. I could not make out their relationship, yep, this also unsolved.

AND, I never saw him again. Not in the same store, though. On the way home from office I saw this singer coming out of one restaurant and into another. I really hoped that he did not do that for applying for performances. I really hoped that he already got his regular performance somewhere. i really hope that I can see him again, singing. Somewhere.

exactly. I always have this soft spot for how hard people have to live, or survive. Jakarta is a very cruel mother for her children.
