Warm-Up
A family of three has been evicted out of their house. Michael (26), Michelle (20), and Mike (3) had been living for 2 years until the land owner expelled them. Sadly, they had to move their things out, including Mr. Hedgy, when Mike was at school. Mr. Hedgy was Mike’s new doll which he got as his birthday present last week.
Because Michael and Michelle always put loud and lit trap music, the proprietor kicked them out. The family is then moving away to live under a bridge in Federal Way for a short time. Michelle exclaimed, “Who is it to blame? Where’s my justice and mercy?”
6.1 - Story of a Journey
In the year 2050, scientists from Papua New Guinea has found out something extraordinary. They discovered that the urge to make people happy is actually an infectious virus disease that’s deadly and it’s spreading wildly. It’s dangerous because people often feel bad about themselves. The pain always brings their whole mood down. In effect to that, they became hurt emotionally inside.
And so, they appointed sociologist Dr. John Budi and neuroscientist Dr. Bambang Suparjan Mukidi to find an antidote. They went around the world but couldn’t find any root cause of the problem. Finally, at the end of their lives, they gave up. All they did in their life has been done for nothing.
They never realize that they had already been infected by the virus, that they've been trying to make people happy.

6.4 – A Poem of a Journey
Soul Searching
In the long journey out to one’s self,
A deceitful yet honest journey which never ends,
That when you die, it’s not even half
Searching for this very soul, that one mends
Throughout the blazing days
And embracing the cold nights after,
Praising the world full of obscure mazes,
While being perpetually challenged hereafter
One may fake it ‘till one becomes it
With deep breaths and small steps one at a time,
While in fact, one will just fall to the same pit,
Because it’s nothing that’s of sublime
And so, let tragedies and woes be in one’s way,
Then pain and regrets will follow
But if one walk along good men and obey,
Then one will survive all the hollow
