Just about everything that stays in the mind and doesn't go away in a flash. Memories will keep linger on, even long after. Writing makes the Lingering more visible, sense-able, and touchable.

Satisfaction
my owner ... now some things that the other companies want to do,,,
he call me and ask me to come to help out ...
hhmm... more things to do ...
lesser time being at home ....
becoz of have to go here and there,
to take care of whatever he asks to do ...
but in a way ... i feel good to get a trust from him ...
rasanya dah kira2 2 bulan ini,
gw sedikit banget istirahat ...
tapi untungnya Tuhan berikan gw kesehatan yang prima ...
yang biasanya tau sendiri,
gw berpikir bahwa maybe gw dah gak sefit 1 or 2 years ago ...
it's probably the age factor ...
aaaaa .. i hate to admit that age will somehow affects you ...
i feeeelllll Satisfied ....
1 month ago
cuman gak sempet-sempet gitu ... time flew by ...
works never stopped .....
cerita gedebag - gedebug nya gw di hari-hari menjelang opening our new outlet ...
bisa dibayangin ...
i have 4 senior commissioners to take care of ...
1 reputable owner and his son ....
and still have to take care of the event itself ....
dari 1 bulan sebelom soft opening,
gw dah mulai senewen ...
lots of things to take care of ...
that's true ... i have my staffs and other colleagues that help me to do it ...
but it's my face and my head who is responsible totally ...
Moreover,,, the small thing like combining all of those busy people schedule ...
i started to feel like I am their secretary for the moment ...
changing schedule of flights every time ...
changing schedule of city departed from ...
changing schedule from what city they want to go back ...
AAAA ... headache .. dizzy ....
All the promotions also in my hands ...
When we get there,
it gets more confusing,
becoz they all come in separate schedule ...
so it has to take driver to go back and forth to the airport ...
oh, my .. good thing, I decided to take our driver there ..
otherwise, would certainly a hectic ...
I get a call from one of the commissioner ...
he thinks that his suitcase is opened and camera missing ...
ooooooo ...... i was certainly more shock and felt numb spontaneously ...
i think, if I could describe my feeling at the moment ...
I think I feel worse than all those hotel staffs and managers ...
aiyo ... it turns out that it was false or ...
well, not sure what had happened either ...
anyway, it get solved already ...
Sigghs ... relieved .... very relieved ....
at the night time, 10 o'clock already ...
boss decided to take a walk and eat at those pedestrian food ...
everybody of course followed him ...
it's probably more than 10 people altogether ...
again, it's me who have to pay attention and take care of everything ...
what do they do if there is no woman in this world ...
they bring something , didn't even think to remember to bring it back ...
goodthing, I pay attention to whatever they do ....
I was busy being asked by owner,
yet still my eyes had to wonder around ,
see if anybody need anything ...
Overall ... most of things went smoothly ...
there is always something that missed in owner's eyes ...
but that's okay ... he is proud of us ...
that's the most important of everything ...
It's also my pride to be able to make him proud and happy with us ...
Mission ACCOMPLISHED ...
DVD "Documentary of April Snow"
but I don't want to watch it yet ....
Now after I watch the movie,
I play the DVD ...
Many thing I always love about BYJ
is also shooted at this DVD ....
His serious attitude toward each and every moments in this work ...
His very much perfectionist attitude ...
He never stopped until he get 1 scene perfectly right ...
His warm reactions when he sees his many fans watching him
Notice how he always give his time to look at his fans even from the far ,,
just to show his fans that he really appreciate what his fans do ...
and I bet the fans feel being appreciated and feel his warmth as well ....
I come to think that why in Taiwan n Korea itself this Movie don't get the expected crowds ...
I think it's becoz this movie is different than others ...
The story is rather complicated yet it was done very natural way ....
We can't just open our eyes to watch this movie,
but we have to think deep as well ...
and there are probably lots of people who don't usually like to do that
when watching movies ...
Some people like watching movies that just showed easily what is in the story ...
"April Snow" Bae Yong Joon
aaaahhhhh .... the movie is soo beautifully done ...
Dibawah sutradara Hur Jin Hoo,,, sutradara yang terkenal unik ...
ternyata April Snow have TOP Quality ...
Buat gw, April Snow gak hanya mengandalkan 2 pemain utama:
Bae YOng Joon and Son Ye Jin ....
2 celeb yang udah terkenal ....
tapi memang cerita dan garapan si Director/sutradara sangat outstanding n special...
April Snow was done with soo much details ,,, soo much delicacies ..
Gak banyak dialogue yang terjadi ...
very minim conversation from all cast ...
but you can just look at their face,,,
look at their expressions ...
Their move and face tell you everything ...
Pokoknya di film ini, kita bener-bener harus mikir
dan menggunakan logika kita secara baik dan teliti ...
sebagai penonton, kita musti perhatiin detil yang ada,
karena detil inilah yang akan menceritakan kita --
alur dan time flow dari jalannya cerita ini ...
Director (sutradara) bener2 patut diacungin jempol deh ...
Gak pernah terpikir kalo dia memberitahukan ttg waktu kejadian
dari hal-hal paling kecil ...
Gimana dia buat suasana Real Concert masuk ke dalam movie ...
He is Genious ...
Bae Yong Joon juga being always perfectionist,
he can potray each and every single scenes perfectly ...
Gak perlu keluar airmata, tapi bisa terlihat bagaimana
BYJ memerankan In Soo yang menangis dari hatinya ...
Sigghs ... Such a Beautiful Movie ...
Son Ye Jin sebagai Seo Young juga gak kalah bagusnya,
dia mampu mengexpresikan setiap kegiatan Seo Yong dengan bagus banget ..
Film ini Natural banget ... semua berjalan secara normal and natural ...
gak seperti dibuat-buat ....
costume and make up very minim, yet it convey the message very well ...
What I hate watching is that the 2 Most Beautiful Moments were being cut off ...
Cencorship oh cencorship ... hopefully the second time I watch it in Singapore will have no cencor ...
One other thing that bugs me is the subtitles don't match perfectly ...
so I am hoping with the English subtitle will be more clear .....
I hope plan on watching and going to Singapore will be smooth next week ...
I can hardly wait ...
Tuesday, October 04, 2005
hhmmm baru sadar betapa English writing gw musti diimprove.
OOO ... do you know another BOMB explodes in Bali ... in Kuta and Jimbaran ... Kuta near Matahari dept. store and JImbaran food center ... kasihan lah, orang-orang yang gak ada hubungannya dengan kebencian pelaku, akhirnya harus jadi korban.
Indonesia mau jadi apa, ,,,, BBM naik ampir 2 kali lipat, setiap 2 or 3 tahun bom meledak, kalo gak di Jakarta, di Bali,,,,, kebebasan beribadah mulai dibatasi and mulai mencekam ... hayoo, mau tambah problem apa lagi .... kapan yach kita sebagai bangsa Indonesia bangga atas negeri kita.... malu deh gw, waktu posting Bomb explodes in bali ... hah? another one, said one of my malaysian friends ...
__________
Just now, I write letters to my 2 of my friends ... one is to my host mom in Wisconsin and one is to my friend in HK .. turn out that we are in the computer at the same moment .. amazing sometimes, we can be in another side of the world and yet feel we can be in front of the computer at the same time....
__________
So happy that April Snow will be screening this Saturday ... unbelievable, we are ahead than Singapore ... Perfecto ... Just today, I asked to one of my deloner friend whom just go back from HK about April Snow ... can't wait til this Saturday.

REal Story -- Gilsoo and Geoumok

DIRGAHAYU 60 TAHUN REPUBLIK INDONESIAKU
Tidak terasa sudah, Republik Indonesia kita sudah berumur 60 tahun. Sudah cukup tua, kalau untuk ukuran manusia, tapi masih muda apabila kompare to European countries atau bahkan United States of America.
Renungan gw di hari ini:
Aaahhh, betapa beruntungnya kita semua termasuk gw dan the whole family sudah gak hidup di Jaman Peperangan lagi, Thanks Much kepada Pahlawan-Pahlawan Negara yang sudah setengah mati berjuang, tanpa memperdulikan nyawa dan keluarga, untuk membela dan memperjuangkan agar Negara Indonesia ini bisa merdeka tanpa dijajah bangsa lain.
hari ini gw spend dengan nonton anak-anak ikut lomba ini itu di lapangan RW kita, dan juga ngobrol-ngobrol sesama ibu-ibu dan tetangga lainnya. Sudah gak pernah terdengar tentang peperangan jaman dahulu kala, yang ada setiap perayaan Kemerdekaan Indonesia, kita lewati dengan kumpul-kumpul, lomba-lomba dan makan-makan. Sigghs.....
Gw juga spend nonton film "Taegukgi" - film tema perang Korea yang udah nongrong sekian lama di rak but gak pernah ditonton. Film dengan durasi 3 jam dibintangi oleh beberapa aktor Korea terkenal seperti Jang Dong Gun, Won Bin, Lee Eun Joo.
Jelas sekali terlihat, mau hidup di jaman perang apa lah, yang namanya perang, gak ada yang indah, gak ada yang baik, apapun tujuannya, perang itu lebih banyak berdampak negatif daripada positifnya.
Rakyat menderita, mata pencaharian tiba-tiba ancur, keluarga terpecah-belah, terpencar-pencar, anak kehilangan orang tua, orangtua kehilangan anak, no education, laki-laki digiring ikut perang, orang sakit akhirnya mati tanpa pertolongan, orang jadi gila karena stress, dan masih banyak lagi dampaknya, bukan hanya bagi rakyat jelata, tapi juga bagi prajurit yang harus ikutan perang, maju di medan laga, nyawa manusia sudah seolah gak terhitung dan gak terpikirkan.
Sekali lagi, gw terimakasih banget sama Pahlawan2 Bangsa kalo sekarang negara Indonesia ini udah bebas dan merdeka, dan Please Mustinya semua rakyat yang ada di bumi Indonesia ini, bersama-sama membangun negeri tercinta ini dengan penuh kasih dan semangat untuk bersatu dan maju dalam membangun. Pernahkah kita terpikir, Kasihan sekali apabila kita yang hidup di jaman sekarang ini, malah karena tingkah dan perbuatan kita malah justru merusak dan membuat Indonesia berperang satu sama lain, melawan sesama anak bangsa.
Aduh, gambaran yang sangat mengerikan. Jangan biarkan perjuangan mereka itu sia-sia, mereka sudah berkorban banyak demi bangsa ini, jangan biarkan mereka mati dengan percuma dan tanpa hasil.

Only Rambling
tapi setelah baca-baca ini dan itu,
rasanya hati ini jadi mengurungkan niat ...
apa boleh buat juga,
Aneh banget nich, kok gw jadi suka ama JDG...padahal dah lama liat dia, biasanya dia gak buat gw bergeming dikitpun .... strange yeah... I never know why...
dibanding Delon, Delon is better lah yach ,
tapi dengerin lagu yang dia nyanyiin sekarang yah lumayan juga lah,
sedikit menghibur...
Another Sigghhs
serba dibuat, sekedar cari muka aja,
Sigghs.... buat apa juga orang nulis, kalo it's all just fake ...
Kalo profesi penulis, lain hal yach,
ato kalo wartawan gitu, lain lagi urusannya ...
hhmmm..... lucu juga, mending ga nulis aja sekalian.
Nulis yang murni itu comes from the heart,
I think most of the time I write there,
it will come from my heart,
Oh, well, tapi siapakah gw,
kok dengan seenaknya aja, gw judge kalo bbrp tulisan itu fake...
banyak sih sebenernya yang still pure,
comes from the heart ....
gw sendiri bisa merasakan tulisan mana yang pure,
tulisan mana yang just for the sake of
mencari perhatian orang-orang yang ngatur disitu ...
Mending Download song and pictures from mr. Jang lagi aja deh ...
Ok ... this is the good song I am talking about,,,
The lyrics are lovely ...
Love of The Heart Divine
And he laid her down in a field of corn,
And the sun was on his back,
Up above there was, a clear blue sky,
She held him by the hand,
She had known him
Since they both were young,
He'd been always in her life,
And the first time that he had kissed her lips,
She knew it deep inside, that this was;
Love of the ancient ones,
Love of the heart divine;
And the summer nights,
He was always by her side,
Just a boy and girl in an innocent world,
Before the Flanders tide,
When the autumn leaves had turned to gold,
She would have her wedding day,
And the people sang like an angel choir,
And everybody said that this was
Love of the ancient ones,
Love of the heart divine;
And the winds of war
Were blowing with the snow,
And he looked so fine in his uniform,
She knew that he must go,
When the soldiers left on the morning train,
She was waving him goodbye,
And as the tears rolled down,
For the very first time,
The baby kicked inside, and this was;
Love of the ancient ones,
Love of the heart divine;
Love of the ancient ones,
Love of the heart divine.

Moments
but that's okay .....
From all the words that left scrambled and scattered around,
There is nothing wrong with it,
Still perfectly fine to Let Our Lives Goes UnWritten,
The Most Important Thing, Those Moments won't leave me
Those Moments, those words, those times, are still being recorded,
in my heart, in my mind, in my soul .....
You know what,
time change the way we look at things,
Last time when it happens,
I looked at it from very different point of view,
I concentrated on the different angles,
but this time when it repeats,
I already looked at this same exact thing again,
as a whole new different feeling ....
Funny , when I think about it more ...
......... so lucky, if there is a "guardian angel" like this guy,
......... you can come in as so many different you,
......... and this Guardian Angel will still be around
......... That's what Love and Friendship are all about.
......... Sometimes there are tears, sometimes there are laugh,
......... Sometimes there are only smiles,
......... or sometimes just plain nothing,
......... But Guardian Angel will always waiting for you
Aaaahhhh ..... it is such a Lovely Moment
Things Accomplished
so little time to do it,
sometimes at times like this,
I wish there are more than 24 hours in a day ...
But I am quite satisfied with what had happened so far,
so many things get accomplished,
of course I don't work by myself,
I have my staff doing their splendid job,
rushing from program to program,
Eventhough there is still always something not done yet,
but that's okay ...
I told them, especially to my Promotion guy,
what they do are really good and fast
Hopefully Next to come, The result will also Successful as Planned..
As for my personnal matters,
let's see .....
D-One second edition get completed,
eventhough there is one or two things still to be added or revised,
but I do the whole thing already ..
Last time, I regret why I finally turn down to help out for the event
for BYJ's gathering ......
I had to do that becoz of my limited time available,
I was thinking of D-One as well,
and all the other works for my job
Sometimes we have to know our own capabilities.
From all that have been going on this past 2 months,
I still I have time to see my Donnie and Delon last Friday,
really happy to see them both,
really have lots of fun this weekend ...
Saturday Watch together with Delon ...

Between Blog and Web
Sementara webnya Suci wulandari di www.suciwulandari.com ... kok keliatannya dah lama gak diupdate yach ... mungkin lagi sibuk kali yah ....
Sewaktu gw buka webnya Helena ada tulisan vote for this site untuk bubuawards ... sekaligus iseng, gw buka beberapa dari nominator2nya ...
hhmm.... ternyata beberapa yang dinominasikan itu adalah website either it's personal web atau artist website ...
I am sounded soo stupid now, tapi sebenernya perbedaan blog ama website itu apa sih ... rata-rata orang yang dicategorikan blogger itu ternyata bukan blog yang mereka buat, tapi website yang mereka buat ... dan rata-rata they are also web designer, oalah... pantesan aja, kok blognya / webnya cakep - cakep amat tampilannya ... hehehehe ... so bukan hanya enak dibaca tapi juga enak dilihat ...
kebanyakan kalo gw jalan-jalan liat2 blog sih , gw liat dari enak ato gak dibaacanya ... tapi emang dengan tampilan yang menarik, jauh lebih bagus jadinya ....

Public Transportation
Dari plan only going to 1 outlet, ternyata akhirnya we went to 3 outlets, just checking everything around .. I'm glad that everything is quite in order ... with Jakarta having traffic everywhere, we went back to the office at around 2 o'clock ...
Entah kenapa siang ini, gw berpikir mau mencoba untuk naik kereta aja deh pulangnya. Gw inget2 salah 1 manager gw dulu pernah bilang dia kadang-kadang milih gak make mobil, krn dia naik kereta ... tapi dia dah kerja dgn kita lagi ...
Soo tanya punya tanya ama beberapa orang, akhirnya gw mantep dgn decision gw untuk pulang by trains ...
hhmmm... it's not as easy as I thought it would be ...
yang jelas ... Kereta yang gw tumpangi ternyata bukan Express spt yang gw pikir ... KRL Ekonomi,,, jelas aja karena stasiun di Kemayoran itu gak masuk yang KRL .. oh, No, Can we still call that a Stasiun ... Spertinya cuman Halte aja lah ... Tujuan Bekasi - gw ikut dulu kereta yang ke arah Stasiun Kota, supaya dapet tempat duduk .. Untungnya pas gw naik, masih kedapetan tempat duduk... Setelah itu, it gets worse .. karena di setiap stasiun, kereta ini berhenti dan ngangkut penumpang ... Yang akhirnya Full at all pun, yang cowok-cowok banyak yang bergelantungan seperti halnya di bus kota ... OOO ....people, gak sadar bahaya nya... It is Soo Dangerous, Man ...
Very Cheap , Cuma Rp 1500 menuju Kranji, Bekasi ... Tapi situasi yah seperti itu lah ... untung gw quite prepared mentally, kalo gak entah apa yang bakal terjadi ... Gw dah siapin uang di saku celana, spy gw gak perlu buka-buka tas lagi .. untung juga dah sempet ganti tas yang lebih simple ..and perhiasan dah gw lucutin semua, sebelum gw berangkat pagi ini ...
Ada kira2 1 jam maybe perjalanan kereta dari KEmayoran - Kota - Kranji ...yang parah, gw gak tau Kranji itu kapan turunnnya ... orang2 kok bisa2nya yach hafal banget, kapan mau turun .. Gak ada announcement sperti di MRT Singapore ...Yeah, Right ? I am dreaming that the train that I jumped in would be like MRT Singapore .. let me Laugh Out Loud first ...hahahhahahahhahahahahha .....
Situasi sudah seperti pepes, tapi masih untung gw masih dalam posisi duduk ... ketimbang yang lain berdiri khan ... gak bisa berkutik, kalopun berdiri, juga mirip dendeng, kaki dan kaki saling bertaut, dah mepet mepet, gak ada sisa barang 1 cm pun untuk ruang kosong ... It's That Packed today ... and someone besides me still say, that this is not too full ... Oh, my, can you imagine, how is the full situation here ..
KRanji sampe juga akhirnya ... tentunya gw bersiap di dekat pintu keluar ... Wah, payah sekali, ternyata jarak antara Kereta dan lantai jauh banget ... Busyet gw musti ngelompat donk ... gak ada waktu tuk berpikir, krn dah didorong-dorong orang belakang kita tentunya ... Gw berpikir daripada gw keseleo trus selesailah nasih gw, mending gw loncatnya sambil duduk, deh ... mau gak mau, gw ambil ancang2 lompat dari posisi duduk di tepi kereta ... Sigghs ... Untunglah , gw masih bisa lompat ...
Sampai di Kranji, gw berpikir apakah lebih baik naik taxi aja dari sini ... Tunggu punya tunggu, gak kunjung nampak satupun disini ... ya udah, terpaksa, cari alternatif lain .. naik Angkot .. Jurusan 30 yang langsung ke Harapan Indah ... Tunggu 30 yang bisa masuk ternyata lama juga ...Finally dapet juga tuh 30 yang separo kosong, untung juga , kata gw ...
Seperti biasa, naik 30, turun di kantor pos ...trus lanjut lagi karena gw mau cari udara segar, gw jalan kaki menuju rumah ...
Sigghs ... nyokap bingung pulang2 gw nampak kusut .. Begitu gw crita sekilas, nyokap langsung protes .. udah, lah mending naik taxi aja napa, kalo ada apa-apa gimana di jalan ... ..
HHmm ... I told her, I want the experience .. It's been way so long since I did that ... Yeah, sometimes all of us have been in that kind of situation ... Apa yang gw cari sih dari pengalaman tadi .. The Thrill, The Challenge, and The Change .. That's what I am looking for ... gw rasanya dah cukup bosan dan jemu dengan yang ini ini doank, makanya gw merasa enjoy-enjoy aja biarpun keadaan kayak gitu ... For a little while, I may enjoy it, but .....
Tapi gak kebayang kalo gw musti harus mejalani hidup seperti itu setiap harinya ... naik turun lompat melompat dari Kereta Api -- gonta ganti bus -- habis itu nyambung apa-apa lagi ... Gak bisa gw bayangin terus terang aja, repotnya setengah mati, belum lagi, bau badan yang akhirnya jadi campur aduk gak keruan kecampur ratusan orang lainnya, debunya itu yang gak nahanin ... soalnya gw paling alergi debu ... Gw emang sengaja milih pulang kerja, karena kalau pergi kerja seperti itu, rasanya gak mungkin banget khan ... Going to work very Much Looking Unfresh ... No way, lah !! ... Makes Me Appreciate What I have Gotten So Far and What I have in this World ... Puji, Tuhan untuk semuanya ...
Di pikiran gw cuman terbesit pertanyaan-pertanyaan :
- Kalau perkeretaapian seperti ini, gimana caranya kalau ada anak2 dibawah 10 tahun yang ikutan, pastinya dah sengsara banget tuh .. Gimana ibu bisa bawa anaknya naik kereta ... akan berbahaya sekali donk ..
- Our Public Transportation Must Be fixed to a more decent and proper one ... kalo semua transportation seperti Busway, mungkin jauh lebih decent.
- Sebetulnya kalo pengen mengurangi kemacetan di metropolitan ini, improve the Public transportation first, then people would like to take the bus or train instead of driving their own car.
Well, that's all the experience for today .. Sigghs

Work to Home
Taxi edan ... supirnya nyetir bak pembunuh berdarah dingin,
bikin gw mual and pengen muntah ...
sepanjang perjalanan gw tutup mata aja,
tapi emang gila nya gak ketulungan ...
di jalanan rame n macet aja, masih disempet2in nyelip2
diantara mobil2 and truck2 ...
Gw sempat berpikir ... jangan2 supirnya mau harakiri,
trus nyari temen .... yaiks .... ngeri banget ....
Pengen gw berhenti di tengah jalan,
tapi kalo berhenti di tengah jalan,
terutama di Jl raya bekasi itu,
mau nyambung pake another taxi, gak mungkin dapet,
nyambung pake angkot, penuh semua, kalo dicegat dari tengah2 ...
Serba salah ....
Padahal bekasi cukup macet, tapi dari kantor jam 7 sampe di HI jam 8.10 ,
cepet banget khan ...
Supirnya sih cukup ramah, tapi the way he drives just make me crazy ...
Sampai di depan kompleks HI, di kompleks ruko depan,
gw langsung minta berhenti ...
Lebih baik gw lanjut pake becak deh pikir gw ...
Tapi akhirnya karena gw masih pusing akibat di mobil tadi,
biarpun agak lama, ya udah , gw jalan kaki aja deh ....]
Padahal kaki gw pun masih panas telapak depannya akibat
muter2 di Pasar pagi Glodok tadi pagi ,
gara2 nyari tempat kita parkir mobil gak ketemu2 ...
I really hate it when I feel like my life is on someone's hands ...
And this happen this day ...

Valuable LESSON
Soo far, gw cukup routine untuk bayar perpuluhan per bulannya, tapi ya kadang-kadang suka bolong juga ... Nah, untuk 2 bulan terakhir ini, gw gak kasih perpuluhan gw ... malah maybe uangnya kepake untuk liburan , buat keperluan anak2 skul tahun ajaran baru, anyway talking about expenses, gw bisa bilang 10 alasan kenapa uang itu tidak diberikan pas permulaan bulan ... gw pikir waktu itu, yah sekali-kali absent gak pa pa kali ... supaya liburan gwn keperluan lain-lain gak perlu ambil duit dari tabungan gw ... Padahal, to be Honest, memang itulah keperluan Tabungan bukan, untuk liburan, untuk keperluan yang gak routine seperti SEtiap kenaikan tahun ajaran baru....
Siggh ... dari pemikiran aja udah SALAH besar tuh gw ... Masa uang buat Tuhan dipake seneng-seneng dulu, baru sisanya untuk Tuhan ... WEH, yang bener aja, donk, Neng ! ... Gak Salah Tu Gw ... Keterlaluan memang, yach !! ...
Gw inget pas waktu kapan yach .. sometimes last year, sama juga gw absent gak kasih perpuluhan 2 bulan berturut-turut .. Alhasil, apa yang terjadi ... Handphone gw pas Raker di Hotel Ibis bulan berikutnya, masuk jatuh ke air, and gak bisa dipergunakan sama sekali, data-data hilang semua ... karena semua data udah gak bisa diretrieve lagi kecuali yang ada di memory card ... Dan Biaya perbaiki handphone lama udah sejuta sendiri,karena harus beli ic baru, and apa2 completely total ganti... Terus lagi, akhirnya toh gw harus ganti handphone juga, beli handphone baru juga berapa sudah harganya, paling gak 4 juta lebih pada saat itu, krn gw cari that time yang ada memory cardnya, spy data2 gak musnah, apabila something happen ... Bikin Stress khan akhirnya, data no telp rekanan lenyap juga semua ... musti tanya satu per satu ke orangnya, mana hp gw yang dulu itu adalah yang Nokia 7650 jadi masih gak ada memory cardnya ...
Hari ini gw sempetin ke One Insurance Company di Gading ... udah gelap sih inside, maklum udah hampir jam 7 malem, tapi yah, gw turun aja dari mobil, krn liat ada satpam yang jaga di depan situ ... hhmm,,,, udah tutup nich, batin gw, krn liat tulisan "Closed" di pintunya, gw langsung tanya, "Pak, sudah tutup, ya, pak ... Besok pagi, jam berapa bukanya?"
Bapak Satpam pun tanya balik," Mau ada perlu apa, bu?"
"Saya mau claim, pak."
"ooo, mau claim, ya, kalo claim, bisa kok, nanti saya panggilkan orang di dalem."
kata si bapak dengan ramah, sambil mempersilahkan gw masuk dan mengisi formulir terlebih dahulu.
Suasana rada-rada gelap, karna cuman 1 lampu yang dinyalain - tempat dimana gw duduk, mungkin penghematan energi juga, pikir gw ... it's ok lah ...
Sambil gw isi2 formulir, gw permisi ke toilet dulu bentar ...
Something funny written on the tiles of the toilet room ... Moga-moga gw gak salah inget yach...
Kue Mangkok, Burung Betet. Jangan Jongkok di atas Toilet.
Agak Geli gw bacanya,,,, Coba tuh, kira-kira apa ya hubungannya antara kue mangkok, burung betet, dan toilet, pantun juga gak gitu nyambung kok yach menurut gw ... hehehe ... Iseng aja nich orang-orang disini ... lucu aja sih kedengerannya ...
Anyway, back to the Claim Procedure, seperti biasa lah, routine prosedure claim ... isi ini itu, fotocopy SIM, STNK, and Polis Insurance, dll .... Looking back, 2 days ago, di parkiran ... hari Senin memang hari gw yang paling hectic diantara semua hari ... semua Meeting ngumpulnya di Senin, hari itu ditambah plus gw ada urusan apa yach, sehingga gw telat makan, jam 15.00 baru sempat makan siang ... No wonder, kepala cenat-cenut gak keruan rimbanya, sampe-sampe gw sudah makan pun, cenut kepala masih belum hilang juga, karena istilahnya "udah kasep gitu lho" ...
Gw pulang sekitar jam 20.00 ... Migraine masih belum hilang ... yah, gak sadar tau-tau , "krek" aja ... bunyi yang lembut, nyaris gak terdengar itu tapi menimbulkan penyok dan tressots di mobil gw ... Aaaahhhhh ...... ada apa lagi, kata gw ...
Sambil gw nyetir pulang tentunya sambil berpikir ... "hhmm... and gw teringat masalah perpuluhan yang gak terbayarkan 2 bulan ini." ... oh, well, pikir gw ... "it's a price that I have to pay... Itulah, kalau memang uang harus dikeluarkan, bagaimana caranya pun, pasti akan harus keluar .... Tapi gak pa pa, lah ... gw masih sangat bersyukur, gak ada korban orang, atau korban apa-apa. Gak ada maki2an yang harus gw terima, padahal gw udah ready juga kalo mau dimaki orang, becoz that is trully my fault ... Tuhan masih sangat sayang ama gw, gw pikir ... ooo .. salah yang gw bilang tadi ... bukan Tuhan masih sangat sayang ama gw, tapi Tuhan Yesus itu Tetap dan SElalu Sayang sama gw. This is I may say : Just a Little Reminder for me to "Always Wherever and Whatever it is, Always Prioritize God's atter first" ... Makanya juga ada ayat yang bilang,
"But seek yet first the Kingdom of God, and His Righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
Indonesianya, s0mething like :
"Tetapi Carilah dulu Kerajaan Allah dan kebenaranNya, maka segala sesuatunya akan ditambahkan kepadamu." --(Matthew 6 vs 33)
Sembari Bapak Surveyor mendokumentasikan spot-spot yang perlu diperbaiki, dia bertanya kembali, "Tinggal di daerah mana, bu." Gw bilang,"apa harus ke bengkel A situ ya pak, soalnya disitu lama banget ya pak, yang lalu tergores sedikit aja, cuman 5 cm goresan sebanyak 2 biji goresan, mobil dibengkel seminggu lho, pak, sedangkan mobil saya pake untuk sehari-hari" .... Si bapak nawarin rekanan bengkel yang katanya sih Standard Kualitas Jelas Setaraf The Insurance company, gak mungkin kurang ... dia juga ngasih kartu nama, rekanan bengkel tersebut , "Ibu besok tinggal telpon no hp bapak ini aja , bu," katanya ... "Besok saya bantu, kalo ibu bersedia. Gampang kok, besok tinggal telpon, mrk bahkan bisa antar jemput mobil ibu. Dipick up di lokasi yang ibu tunjuk, misalnya di kantor ibu, terus mrk ambil mobilnya, selesai nanti juga dianter kembali mobilnya disitu, tanya aja berapa hari selesainya."
Ya, udah, gw pikir, it's soo simple n gw juga kebetulan lagi sibuk banget minggu2 ini, tadi sempet adik gw nawarin untuk mbantu ke bengkel juga, kalo gw terlalu sibuk, but gw gak enak ngerepotin dia, toh dia juga dah cukup harus konsentrasi kerja di perusahaan yang baru dia buat beberapa saat yang lalu ... So sepertinya si bapak ini nawarin satu solusi yang cukup baik bagi gw... ... No problem ... gw juga merasa terbantu sih... Moga-moga aja prakteknya besok it's as simple as it sounds and hopefully everything works good later on.
Thus, hopefully, everything will work ok .... one thing, I hope it won't take too long for my car to be fixed ... becoz well ... we all know, how car already be our second home in this Metropolitan city ... Now, I have to think, all these taxi fares from office to work, work to office, can cost around Rp 100,000 per day if not in heavy traffic ... while, if I decide to take Public transportation like for example bus or angkot, then from Kemayoran to Bekasi would be 3 times change plus all the walk and the Ojek ... Just thinking about it, already headache ... Scratch that !! Taxy is better ...
A very VALUABLE LESSON obviously that hopefully I won't take it lightly next time ...
MAY GOD BLESS AND PROTECT US ALWAYS

LaZZy Saturday
cuci and bersih-bersih mobil --
sperti biasa deh, kotor gak kotor,
my car get a special longer time with me on Saturdays ...
07.30 siap-siap untuk ke skul-nya Tashia,
ada pertemuan parents - teachers ...
spt taon-taon sebelumnya deh , setiap mulai ajaran baru
selalu dimulai dengan meeting program2 sekolah , dll ...
08.00 sampai di SD Penuai ... skulnya Tashia ...
ooppss ... kenapa ini daftar hadir, isinya cuman
ortu dari KB dan TK aja ... mana yang SD ...
oalah, ternyata .. gw salah jam ...
"mama Tashia, yang SD jam 10.00 mulainya."
Oooopppsss, gw gak baca undangan dengan teliti rupanya ...
ya udah, untung sekolahan deket ...
pulang dulu deh ....
08.00-almost 10.00 = bolak-balik channel tv,
sampe akhirnya gw rada ketiduran bentar di sofa
10.00-12.00
Kesimpulan yang gw dapet dari this whole meeting ...
musti banyak nabung nich dari sekarang,
ternyata kebutuhan Tashia untuk tahun ajaran ini,
sebagai siswa kelas 6, banyak juga bakalan ...
Perjusa, REtret, Karyawisata ke Cipanas/Bogor,
Ujian kelas 6, Pesta Perpisahan Kelas 6 ...
Belum lagi, yang gak disebut disitu,
jelasnya uang pangkal masuk ke SMP, of course,
kalo dia lulus next year ...
"Get ready to save more money from now on",
talking to myself on my way home.
I remember that I bought 2 novels last Sunday,
loh, kemana nich novel yang satunya ...
akhirnya ubek cari-cari novel ini ...
sampe detik ini, masih gak ketemu ...
Heran oh heran deh ... kemana tuh "Shopaholic Ties the knot" hilangnya
Novel yang satu masih stay di lemari buku gw,
but yang satu raib gak ada yang tau ...
padahal rumah isinya cuman 4 orang ....
Sebel gak sih ...
Kecape'an cari novel gak kunjung ketemu,
akhirnya sambil tiduran, gw baca novel yang satu lagi ...
Judulnya "Kok, Putusin gue" -- karya Ninit Junita
Covernya merah, dari cover sih menarik,
walopun judulnya yah, gitu aja lah, biasa ...
but still gw tertarik untuk beli krn covernya itu....
Baru baca2 komentar2 orang dan prakata ...
loh, ternyata novel ini yang ngarang Ninit yang istrinya Adhitya itu yah ...
hhhmmmm jadi tambah menarik nich untuk dibaca ....
Baca bab pertama, gw terus terang rada jengkel ...
loh, baru awal-awal kok udah putus seh ...
nah, ini critanya mau dibawa kemana nich kalo udah putus gini ...
Walopun jengkel, tapi interest juga,
krn jadi penasaran ama arah critanya novel ini ....
Yang tadinya gw baca novel cuman karna pengen spy bisa tidur,
so baca bentaran doank, akhirnya gw gak sabar,
bab demi bab, gw babat juga deh baca sampe selesai ...
Suka Banget ... gw suka banget ama ni novel ....
Tapi gw bingungnya dari komentator,
kok pada bilang Kocak, Giling, Bikin Ketawa, dan sejenisnya ...
Weh, dimana lucunya seh ... gw kok gak nemu yang Kocak ...
malahan during reading, kebanyakan gw netesin air mata sama
jengkel baca kelakuan pacarnya Amaya, Hari itu ....
Ternyata gaya Ninit nulis sperti ini toh,
beda yach ama suaminya ....
tapi lebih masuk untuk gw yg lebih suka ama novel yang
Romantic and Sweet ,
beberapa segmen yang diperbuat Maya,
ngingetin gw ama kisah gw sendiri .... although it wasn't quite as
drastic as she is...hehehe ....
Yang sweet bukan hanya kisahnya Amaya yang cinta mate ke Harianto,
tapi juga persahabatan antara Maya dan Rini ...
persahabatan mereka berdua dikupas Ninit dengan sweet banget ...
Inti-intinya alur critanya "Kok Putusin Gue" ini ngalir gitu aja,
gak over, memang hal yang wajar n normal banget dilakuin cewek
yang lagi putus cinta .... The Revenge Part (everything to make his life miserable,
Playing Detective Part (hhmm,,, reminds me how silly this is, but it is soo true),
and Beautiful ENDING that Ninit wrote about Maya and Hari ...
Pas banget ENDINGnya ... not a happy ending, but a Wise and Good Ending ... btw, what is considered as a happy ending, seen from what perspective ...
Ninie's Conclusion : "Hidup terlalu Berharga untuk dibuang ke seseorang" something like that
Tul banget deh... and It's not Worth It lagi, Wasting Your Valuable Time ....
Kata-katanya enak banget, cocok ama selera gw yang suka Romance but gak suka
yang too much ...
and tambahan satu lagi, comparison lyric lagu dgn situasi Maya cocok banget.
BRAVO deh buat Ninit Junita , Moga-moga ada karya yang kedua dst, dari dia ...
So selesai novel ini, gw tidur deh sampe sore,
sambil itung-itung memulihkan kondisi tubuh ...

BeNeaTH My QUietNess
Lately, I haven't been feeling comfortable with some situations ...
Lots of things have been going on somewhat not good ....
It becomes worse and worse ....
They started to discriminize ... hecks .. I know it's entirely up to them ....
Makes me feel very uncomfortable, in a way, it makes me sad ....
why this happen like now ....
I wish somebody would do something to create a new atmosphere there ...
A new gentle and caring atmosphere
I can't help to think and wonder ....
how can we measure the degree of "faithfullness" ....
is it as easy as they wrote it or as easy as they say it ...
Some people wrote and say and brag about their faithfullness
to certain someone .... some people just do it -- keep supporting
no matter what ..... and do without telling anybody ....
Such a shallow thought if we only measure the degree of "faithfullness"
from how many times they buy something ....
Gosh !! i know some people are also wondering just like me ..
still wondering till now ....
As if they forget about everything that happen in the earlier days ....
The solid team we become .... the strong team we become ...
I am not sure what to say really ....
I don't want to explode becoz of this ...
Somehow, I envy some of my good friends ...
they just enjoy being there ...
without too much thinking about everything else .
Yeah ... I think the answer is just one ....
As long as his Charisma still there,
then we will keep going ....
Don't know what will happen later on ....
I am not the one to Judge ....
becoz I am only 1 of the 2000 people there ....
Oh, MY ... YAAKKS ....
What am I talking about
Just STOP THINKING AND START MY MIND
WITH WONDERFUL THOUGHTS .....
Akhir Tahun Ajaran 2004
Sekarang mereka bersama dengan omanya pergi
ke Semarang, ke tempat nenek buyutnya ...
gw juga pengen banget pergi sebenernya,
tapi gimana lagi nich ... stuck untuk sementara waktu...]
Balik ke rapor .....
Jonathan ada peningkatan dari segi nilai,
and yang jelas, peningkatan di sikap dan tingkah laku ...
Thank God, lah ....
Natashia turun banget rankingnya ...
Gurunya dah ingetin ke gw, kalo begitu mulai tahun
ajaran baru, langsung harus digenjot belajar ...
Karena tahun depan dah kelas 6 SD dia ...
Kalo gak rajin dari awal, bisa Gak Lulus nanti ...
Very surprising and actually it's rather a shocking news
untuk tahun ajaran 2005-2005 ini ....
Ternyata banyak sekolah-sekolah yang tingkat Kelulusannya
hanya 0 % .... Pertama gw baca and denger dari tv,
sampai agak salah pemikiran .... antara believe it or not ...
masa sih Tingkat Kelulusan 0 % ....
Parah banget ....
Pertama gw denger beritanya, yang diexpose yang di ACEH,
soo otomatis gw berpikir ... Yeah, it's Quite Natural ...
Gimana Mo Lulus, orang belajar aja Gak Bisa beberapa
waktu yang lalu karena bencana Tsunami itu ....
Besoknya baca di koran ...
dibahas lebih detil lagi ....
LHO ?? Ternyata banyak Gak Lulus terjadi di beberapa SMA di
daerah/kota lain juga toh .... bahkan sampai kota Jogja
and Semarang juga ada tuh yang di beberapa SMA
gak ada yang lulus siswanya ....
Waduh, Waduh ... gw jadi berpikir , apa yang salah yach ....
apakah sekolah2 itu mengajarkan kurikulum yang sama sekali
berbeda dengan yang ditetapkan dr Dept Pendidikan
Ato apa kira-kira sebabnya ....
Ada beberapa mata pelajaran yang dianggap lemah,
yaitu mata pelajaran Mathematika and Inggris ....
Kacau juga ya, kalo melihat keadaan pendidikan tahun ini
Berarti untuk beberapa sekolah yang siswa nya gak ada yang lulus,
musti siap-siap ruangan donk ... yang kelas 2 naik ke kelas 3,
but yang kelas 3 tetep masih disitu ... ....
Semoga deh, sistem and kurikulum tahun ajaran 2005-2006
lebih dibenahi lagi .... supaya gak terjadi keadaan seperti
sekarang ini .... Kasihan khan , yang jadi korban anak2 itu sendiri
, waktu dan uang terbuang, krn harus ngulang kelas lagi ....

PolllliiiiiiiGaMiiiiii
I radio membahas mengenai Poligami,
sayangnya karena udah agak telat,
gak sempet engeh siapa narasumbernya ....
Interesting point that he bring out ...
Quite a Wise Man ... i think ...
Gw biasanya agak males denger orang bicara mengenai
hal yang satu ini ....
but tadi denger ulasannya dia panjang lebar ,
baik dari segi agama maupun logika,
sangat makes sense .....
Menurut narasumber ini (what's his name)
SEbenernya Poligami ini musti dipikirkan baik-baik
dan lebih mateng lagi efek n dampaknya ....
SEkarang kebanyakan poligami udah banyak diselewengkan,
kalo dulu jamannya Nabi, poligami banyak membantu wanita
yang notabene pada jaman Nabi Mohamad hidup,
para wanita itu sering gak dianggep,
jadi Nabi Mohammad lebih banyak menolong wanita2 itu,
dengan dijadikan istri sama Nabi ...
but sekarang menurt narasumber, kebanyakan poligami sekarang,
gak seperti itu ... yang diincer biasanya cewek yang lebih muda,
lebih cantik, lebih ini dan itu deh, ato alasan sudah bosaan ama yang lama...
yang mana alasan itu berasa terlalu dibuat-buat ...
Dia banyak nerangin dari segi agama, berikut ayat2 Islamnya jg.
Narasumber sempet juga bilang kalo banyak dari kehidupannya Nabi
yang perlu diteladani, tapi kok cuma meneladani bagian yang poligaminya aja ....(hahhahha, ketawa gw dengernya, bener juga yach nich - GOOD POINT!)
Dia bilang bahwa di negara-negara Muslim Modern ,
sekarang Poligami gak diperbolehkan,
baik dari negara (hukumnya, maksudnya) atopun dari hukum agamanya ...
Karena setelah banyak dilakukan, dampaknya malah gak baik ...
Pokoknya banyak hal lah yang didiskus kemaren pagi about lebih banyak negatif points daripada positif points dari berPoligami ini ...
Gw sih setuju sekale !!!
Gw pernah denger perkataan AA Gym ttg ini ,,, singkat, padat, jelas ... lupa persisnya gimana .. tapi intinya something like that ..."punya 1 udah jauh dari cukup dan masih banyak yang perlu digali satu sama lain, jadi kalo AA gak mau punya istri lebih dari 1"
Gw Salut Banget ama AA, walopun gw berlainan Agama, tapi pengajaran2nya logical thinking, motivation support juga ..
gw inget dia pernah bilang, istri bagi saya adalah Guru ...
Honestly, baru sekali gw denger suami bicara seperti itu ke istrinya, biasanya orang akan bilang, istri bagi saya adalah sahabat, gitu2 deh, but ini laen dari yang laen ....
Kagum gw !!
Yang dibawah ini pendapat gw, bukan kata si narasumber ...
Bagi yang berpoligami-- situasi enak hanya untuk 1 pihak doank ...
biasanya pihak yang cewek (istri pertama)maunya krn terpaksa, ngalah or mau gak mau harus ngalah or mengijinkan ... mana ada ya perempuan yang mau dibagi2 ...
gw selama ini berpikir bahwa maybe cewek yang mau suaminya terbagi2 dengan cewek lain lagi, pastinya yang keadaannya terpaksa ...
maybe economy tergantung ama suaminya,
maybe ada sesuatu yang laen lah, sakit,dll ...
And yang jadi istri kedua, or ketiga, gw selama ini mikir kalo
sosok perempuan yang lemah , gak mandiri ,dll ...
Tapi now ada kasus seperti Farhat dan Ani Muryadi dan Nia Daniati,,
gw liat Anni M bukan sosok cewek yang lemah kok ...
cantik, hhmm.... kayaknya kaya juga (at least berada lah),
seems mandiri, tapi kok mau yach jadi istri kedua seseorang ...
Gw terus terang jadi bingung juga ,,,
my mind set was wrong berarti ..... really?? ..i don't know.
weks .. waktu pertama gw liat Farhat mo kawin ama Nia,
udah rada feeling kayaknya Farhat ini playboy ...
buktinya belum kawin aja, udah ada yang gugat ..
hehehe.... terbukti juga ternyata ...........
Mungkin juga kawin ama Nia, krn ...
hhmm... who knows juga lah ...........
