Pertama kali keluar dari rumah
Itu namanya Sunter,

Nonie’s memory of the May ‘98 riots (then age 6) at 26.
It felt very, very long.
Chacha and I were squeezed together under the mattress in the car ride.
I wanted to see what was going on, but mum kept shouting lower your heads.
I only caught glimpses of smoke.
Trees and smoke.
