From Pondok Merbau to Desa Merbau and now, Danau Merbau. This last name is more appropriate. Pondok is too common a name. Desa is not quite right because desa means village. Its a house, not a village. Danau is the correct one. Danau means a small house or a hut. My house is small so Danau is the correct word to describe it. In addition, I kind of like the word Danau because it is akin to the name of the lake in front of Pak Hamka's house, Danau Maninjau in Batang Pinang. What a beautiful name! Danau Merbau doesn't sound as beautiful but it will do. So, I officially announced the new name for the house, Danau Merbau.
