Cerita si (akhirnya) Sarjana

Ya, akhirnya saya Sarjana juga.

Setelah berjuang selama kurang lebih 1,5 tahun di kampus Mercu Buana, akhirnya i'm done. 

Less drama? Of course...not! Drama banget!

Dengan niat teguh ga mau ada bayar bayaran semesteran lagi, akhirnya saya bertekad kalo all about skripshit ini harus kelar di Februari dan saya setidaknya sudah sidang di Februari, jadi Maret ga bayar SPP lagi. Jadilah saya geber semua, bab 4 bab 5 langsung dikelarin. Load kantor yang memang cukup tinggi -apalagi awal taun gini cuy- juga sebenarnya jadi distraksi luarbiasa. Ga jarang malah kerjaan yang ga kepegang, molor dari deadline, disindir sindir gara gara ga optimal pengerjaannya, semua demi si bab akhir skripsi saya selesai. Kerja sampai jam 5 sore, sisanya saya lembur dikantor untuk fokus ngerjain skripsi, pun sabtu minggu saya cari cafe yang lumayan sepi, biar bisa fokus beresin. Alhamdulillah, satu minggu full akhirnya skripsi saya selesai. 

Tantangan berikutnya adalah : BIMBINGAN!

Kenapa menjadi tantangan? Sebenarnya dosen pembimbing saya, pak Marwan, bisa dibilang adalah dospem paling enak diantara yang lain. Komunikatif kalo di kontak via whatsapp, bimbingannya sat set, dan punya mindset kalo mahasiswanya harus cepat lulus. Masalahnya adalah, dia cuma bisa ditemui di kampus MERUYA! Well,untuk ke Meruya itu artinya saya harus izin setengah hari, dan ngabisin uang sekitar 100rb untuk pulang pergi dari kuningan ke meruya. Untungnya, setelah saya perlihatkan skripsi saya untuk di kroscek, beliau hanya memperbaiki sedikit lalu saya disuruh kembali lagi minggu depan dengan revisian dan segala kelengkapan untuk pendaftaran sidang. Seminggu berlalu, dan setelah diribetkan dengan segala kelengkapan administrasi untuk pendaftaran (sangking ribetnya, saya sampai ambil cuti untuk daftar sidang, oh birokrasi!), akhirnya saya sidang di tanggal 13 Februari!

Pada hari H, saya sudah ready dengan kebaya dan batik hitam untuk sidang. Ketua Sidang dan penguji saya terkenal cukup killer. Yaitu ketua program studi dan ketua bidang studi, eh ternyata malah g ada yang hadir, termasuk dospem saya, zonk! Akhirnya digantikan oleh dosen lain, jadi the show must go on. Ga lucu donk kalo udah dress up kebaya, udah deg-deg-an eh ditunda sidangnya. Singkat cerita akhirnya setelah menunggu sejam, sidang sejam, tunggu hasil sejam, saya dinyatakan lulus dengan predikat cum laude! Alhamdulillah....

Selanjutnya tinggal revisi yang ternyata juga bikin saya bolak balik ke kampus Meruya sampai 3 hari berturut - turut demi ngejar tanda-tangan dan tetek bengek administrasi lainnya. Mana tanggal tua pula, untung uber  bisa dibayar pake gesek-gesek. Selesai, tinggal daftar wisuda aja di akhir Maret nanti. Ntar aja itulah, break dulu dari Meruya (walau kangen juga sama lidi-lidian pedes di warung depannya).

Anyway, selesai sudah satu lagi hutang saya ke diri sendiri. Cukup berat memang ternyata kalau bekerja sambil kuliah. Berat di waktu, berat di duit, enak juga kayaknya kalau lanjut ke master tapi pake beasiswa. Amiin aja dulu deh..

Misi saya selanjutnya adalah bantuin temen temen untuk bisa kelar cepet trus bisa wisuda bareng- bareng. Yuk yuk di gaspol!

about two thousand and 16

another year

another resolutions

nothing in particular. 

Lulus kuliah tepat waktu tanpa masalah

Semester 1 selesai dengan baik. 2016 akan diisi dengan semester 2 dan semester 3. If everything goes well right on time, I'll have my title in the beginning of 2017. Amien to that!

Sukses nabung (forever resolutions)

Me and him make a simple plan this year. A joint account. So we're gonna post a million each month from our salary to one account. It may not be spent, unless its emergency. I think its really important so that we (me, especially) can learn how to commit in our financial balance.

Despite of, I do it myself too. Disamping pengeluaran untuk kuliah, nyokap, sehari hari, tagihan tagihan, I should be able to save. Come on Din!! *keplak kepala sendiri*

Kerjaan lancar tanpa drama

Baik drama sama teman kantor, drama kerjaannya dan drama drama lainnya.

Tenang.

I need to keep calm. In anything. 

Ga meledak ledak lagi, ga ceroboh, ga sembarangan nyeletuk. Think before speak.

Sehat!

Akhir tahun kemarin, saya yang awalnya cuma nemenin si mas ke dokter gigi ,dia sudah terjadwal untuk operasi giginya yang impaksi, akhirnya malah jadi ikut perawatan pembersihan karang gigi. Namun, ketika pembersihan karang gigi dilakukan, tak sengaja menyenggol gigi tambalan depan saya hingga rusak. Akibatnya tambalan itu harus diganti dengan yang baru. Namun, 2 hari kemudian, saya tiba tiba demam dan pipi sebelah kanan saya bengkak disertai rasa nyeri yang bikin ga nyaman. Saya lalu kontak dokter, kemudian dia memberikan obat untuk membunuh bakteri yang mungkin masih tersisa. Berbekal obat ditangan, saya pede berangkat liburan tahun baru dengan pipi yang masih bengkak sebelah. I swear to God I looked super hideous. Tapi perubahan tidak terjadi, saya terpaksa melewati malam tahun baru dengan kompres di pipi kiri dan antibiotik dan tidur. Pagi di tanggal 1, saya kembali kontak dokter Retno dan memfoto bagian dalam bibir saya yang muncul bengkak seperti berisi cairan. Dokter menyuruh saya untuk segera mencari dokter gigi setempat untuk dilakukan trepanasi atau pengeluaran cairan.Benar saja, setelah tindakan trepanasi dilakukan, pipi dan kondisi mulut saya perlahan membaik. Setidaknya sudah bisa senyum lagi kalau difoto. Sesampai di Jakarta, saya langsung meluncur ke praktek dokter Retno sambil membawa rontgen gigi saya tahun 2014.

Eng Ing Eng...she found a cyst!

Yep, kista di gusi atas, dekat cuping hidung. And its quite a big. Harus dioperasi.

So, tepat ditanggal 10 januari, I did a small surgery to get my cyst removed, and it costs me almost 11million rupiahs. But, thanks to my super insurance, I didn't pay anything, but no longer insurance cover for my dentist, internist, and any other regular check up doctor for the rest of 2016. Karena itu saya harus tetap sehat!Sakit itu mahal..aselik! Selain itu yaaaaa siapa sih yang mau sakit, sangat super ga enak.

financial adult?

Dalam minggu ini beberapa blog yang rutin saya kunjungi, membahas tentang financial alias urusan duit. Ada yang bahas tentang financial planner, bahas cara nabung, bahas cara atur pengeluaran, sampai ke bahas kalo dia lagi bokek berat gara gara abis liburan. Ga kelar kelar emang kalo ngomongin hal yang satu ini.Sama halnya kayak menjadikan NABUNG sebagai resolusi di setiap awal tahun, ga mulai mulai! *shame on me! Sebenarnya apa sih susahnya nabung? Apa susahnya coba nyisihin 10% aja dari gaji tiap bulan? SUSAH!

Gaji sekian, kosan sekian, bayar kuliah sekian, bayar kartu kartu sekian, zakat sekian, kasih mama sekian, harusnya, harusnyaaaa loh ya..dari hitungan kasar sih masih sisa kira kira 30% - 40% an buat biaya sehari hari dan (harusnya) nabung. Setelah baca beberapa blog sebagai referensi, kayaknya memang yang salah adalah pengaturan nya. Saya memang termasuk orang yang super boros. Ga boleh dikasi uang cash deh, kalo ada cash di dompet,, yasalam! 

So, starting next month (amien), I need to make every post for every need. Ga usah muluk muluk mikirin nabung dulu deh, setidaknya saya harus tahu dulu kemana larinya gaji saya tiap bulan.

Semangat sore ah!

“Do not save what is left after spending, but spend what is left after saving.” – Warren Buffet

Please welcome.....2015!!

Happy new year!! Wishing you all great year ahead!

Kita semua punya cerita di 2014. Cerita yang mungkin buat sebagian adalah cerita yang bikin senyum terus tap ingat itu. Ada juga yang mungkin udah ga mau nginget nginget lagi yang terjadi di 2014. Kita semua punya cerita baru. Punya kenangan baru. Di 2014 banyak teman ku yang menikah, lalu kemudian punya bakal keturunan yg nongol ga lama kemudian, ada juga beberapa teman saya yang kehilangan orang yg dia sayang, ada yang nemu banyak teman baru, nemu banyak tempat baru, kerjaan baru, pacar baru, hobi baru, perasaan baru....banyak sekali yg terjadi di 2014.Walau rasanya tahun itu cepat sekali berlalu... tau tau udah lebaran, tau tau udah natal, tau tau udah mau ganti tahun. 

Setiap tahun baru, pastinya setiap orang selalu punya harapan dan niat baru untuk menjadi semakin baik lagi dari taun sebelumnya. 2014's been good to me. Mimpi mimpi kecil di 2014 kemarin banyak yang sudah dijalani dengan baik dan tercapai, bahkan beberapa hal yang terjadi justru jauh lebih baik daripada dugaanku.  God us great! Walau rasanya "bloh" banget kalo tiap taun bikin resolusi, tapi tahun ini ada beberapa hal yang pengen banget aku improve. Misalnya ;

Believe in God

Aku percaya bahwa agama adalah urusan personal seseorang dengan Tuhannya. Karena itu sebisa mungkin aku ga pernah ikut rese dalam obrolan obrolan yang nyepet nyepet ke perbedaan agama. Sebisa mungkin juga aku g pernah nilai itu orang pernah solat atau gak, punya agama atau ga, percaya Tuhan atau ga. Its really really personal. Di 2015 ini aku pengen semakin mendekatkan diri padaNya. Aku ingin lebih berserah pada rencanaNya. bukan berarti pasrah,artinya aku akan melakukan sesuatu secara maksimal and let God do the rest. Di tahun 2014 kemarin aku sempat ngalamin beberapa hal yang bikin aku bertanya "ini Tuhan maksudnya apa ya?". Hal ini bikin aku ragu ragu dan selalu takut salah langkah. Tapi aku jadi semakin percaya bahwa mungkin rencanaku baik, tapi rencanaNya pasti lebih baik. Ya nda?

Sehat

Aku akhirnya sadar bahwa kesehatan itu adalah salah satu yg terpenting dalam hidup. A bit late ha? Ga peduli betapa kaya atau happy nya kita, kalo lagi ga sehat ya percuma. Di pertengahan 2014, aku udah mulai untuk mutusin sarapan sehat, tapi ya gitu. Ngoyo :( Kadang aku tetep aja makan gorengan as a breakfast. Malah kadang ga sarapan sama sekali,yang berujung makan siangnya kalap.Nurunin berat badan bukan jadi fokus utama ku. Aku pengen lebih mengkonsumsi banyak sayur, buah, minum air putih yang banyak, ngurangin minum teh kemasan, ngurangin gula, ngurangin makan gorengan, ngurangin makan junk food, ngurangin makan telor, ngurangin makan nasi, ngurangin garam. Hahahaha malah jadi banyak pantangan. Intinya sih aku ingin makan makanan yang lebih sehat. And do sport! Ah yang ini berat banget, tapi sekarang aku sering malu sendiri gara gara naik jembatan penyebrangan aja bisa ngos ngosan. Yuk olahraga!

Financial Wise
Alias HEMAT dan NABUNG! Aku sangat sangat super jelek dalam manajemen keuangan. Hal ini sudah disadari dari bertahun tahun yang lalu. 2014 kemarin alhamdulillahnya aku mengalami yang namanya kenaikan pendapatan yang cukup setara dengan kerjaan yang aku jalani. Napsu belanja ku juga ga seheboh dan segila waktu aku masih di kantor lama. Namun yang bikin aku bingung adalah, pendapatan cukup baik, napsu belanja kurang tapi kok ya masih ga bisa nabung? makanya mulai 2015 ini aku pengen banget udah mulai bisa ngatur keuanganku.Ngatur pengeluaran wajib, ngatur biaya seneng seneng dan membagi untuk porsi nabung.Tentunya harus tetep ada anggaran utnuk nge-trip hihi.Good luck Dinch!

Be a better person

Aku selalu ingat untuk ga nyusahin orang lain dengan cara mikirin sendiri langkah langkah yang akan aku ambil baik dalam kerja atau di personal life. Walau kadang secara ga sadar tindakan itu terkadang justru bikin orang lain susah karena ga bisa ngerti maunya kita gimana. Mereka kadang prefer untuk diajak diskusi bareng dan mutusin bersama. Hal yang ternyata simpel menurutku, belum tentu simpel juga menurut orang lain. Kurangin mengeluh, ga usah ikutan komen negatif di socmed yang belum kita tau faktanya, jangan bikin orang lain nunggu tanpa kejelasan dan lainnya. Aku ingin lebih jujur ke diriku sendiri, aku ingin lebih mengutarakan ide dan keinginanku dibanding disimpen sendiri.  Aku ingin lebih menghargai perasaanku dibanding menindas perasaan demi menjaga perasaan orang lain yang belum tentu menjaga perasaanku. Tahun 2014 kemarin aku lepas dari zona nyamanku. Pindah ke kosan yang lebih dekat dari kantor dan jauh dari teman teman yg selama ini jadi memang jadi comfort zone ku yang luar biasa (makan bareng,apa apa bareng,seneng seneng bareng). Which I thought would be scared as hell, but turns out I'm doing really good. I'm okay. Seseorang pernah berkata, you need to leave your comfort zone to find out who's stick with you and who's prefer to say goodbye. 

Happy new year!

May we all be better person and do greater things in year ahead!

people who smile in rain

dering telpon nyaring berbunyi di minggu siang . Seseorang di masa lalu tiba tiba mengabarkan kalau dia sedang berada di sekitaran Jakarta dan mengajak bertemu sekedar untuk bertukar berita.

Rasanya sudah terlalu lama saya tidak berjumpa dengan pria satu ini. Bitter story from the past terlalu membuat saya benci untuk bahkan mengetahui kabar keberadaannya. Tak banyak teman dekat saya yang tau mengenai algojo yang satu ini. Saya pun rasanya malu untuk kembali merasa bodoh jika harus menceritakan kisahnya ke teman teman.

Entah kenapa, ingatan-ingatan itu muncul liar di kepala saya pagi ini. Bermunculan tanpa ampun, Seperti kembang api tahun baru yang tak hentinya menghiasi langit. Indah, namun berisiknya minta ampun.

Ah saya tau kenapa.

Saya menatap namanya di dalam daftar orang yang mengirimkan permintaan berteman di Facebook. Nama itu memang sudah lama muncul, sekitar sebulan terakhir. Saya diamkan karena saya berpikir, buat apa? Dia sudah dengan kehidupannya dan saya dengan kehidupan saya. Tapi saya pun tak kunjung menghapusnya dari daftar nama itu.

Sampai pagi ini. Saya menyetujui permohonan bertemannya.

Setelah itu saya tersenyum kecil. Ini cuma social media platform, kalo orangnya gak asik, ya tinggal delete friend aja kan?

nov21th randomness

copy from my tweet

rasa nyaman itu emang rate nya luar biasa dan bisa berujung g enak ati yah.Misal; karna udh nyaman ama isi kantornya,jd mau prusahaan sbenernya "merugikan diri" juga yaaaaah...fine.

atau gak, krna udh nyaman dan akrab bgt ama yg punya laundry,jadi even cucian kurang bersih yaaaa...fine aja.

Case lain,krna udh nyaman ama kmar kosan, walau aer kotor jam 8-11 pagi,,harga naik,,yg punya kostan kapitalis yaaaaa...fine ajah!

Karna udh nyaman berteman,jadi klo tmen nyebelin,ngeselin yaaaa fine ajah :)) in one point,we knew they didn't mean doin' that.

Tp ujung"nya bisa kluar rasa "ga enak" sendirii...

Pengen pindah ke laundry yg lbh baik,tp g enak karna si ibuk orangnya baik banget ramah banget (ˇ_ˇ'!l)

pengen tuker kerjaan,tp ga enak gara" isi kantor kayak udah seperjuangan bgt dan rasanya klo lepas 1 itu kayak "berkhianat" (ˇ_ˇ'!l)

Pindah kostan yg lbh baik,tapi yang ini strategis bgt,lingkungan bagus,aman,itungan masih murah buat jakarta dan banyak temen..(ˇ_ˇ'!l)

Masa cuma gara2 ga nyaman trus g temenan lagi sih..I love all my friends the way they are, in hope that they'll love as what I am too :')

Sekian pikiran tentang nyaman yg mendadak kepikir pagi ini gara gara nungguin air keran jadi bersih...slamaaat hari rabuu ​°\(^▿^)/°

gimme B!

November started as  sweet as it can be. To be honest i've got a lot "runaway" plan this month and really hope that it all going as well as it could. *finger crossing* 

This Bali trip was my first totally impulsive one. We just decided in about 5 minutes, booked a ticket, paid the hotel and wait for 8th November to come. We only have a full day friday and fourth day in saturday, so should make it as heavy as possible. Pandawa's beach, Klapa at Pecatu, Potato Head beach club, streetseeing kuta-legian, Kuta Beach Walk, and Biku's teashop are more than enough for us :) Here's some pics.

 Someone once said, "sometimes, travel is not about the destination, at one moment, who you really with is what matter". I found that true to believe. Well, at least for me its not ok if i go travel with someone who always "up to you" me, who's not supportive and who's not really into the trip. Can you imagine a trip to maldives with someone who's not really enjoy the trip, whinning much ,and etc..rather walk alone don't you :)

Life Achievement Unlocked: Maroon 5

Been like a million years since I first landed an eargasm to this one.Since their This Love to their Daylight . I experienced what people would say, "an eargasm-eyegasm-Levinegasm experience." I sat on a best tribun seat (can't afford the festival oh i'm so sad)  , a great spot to view the whole stage, it was at the ISTORA Senayan , 4 months since the battle looking for tickets. they're sold out so quickly, I'm suspicious they'd hired the flash.

The show starts right on time (8 pm) with The Cab as opening act,although we have started queuing since 5'ish. Here's the thing when you come to a concert ,they really able to stand in line since 6 hours before they starts the show, in order to get the front row and best seat. You gotta run and fast,and hopefully do not interrupt the orderly queue. Fight for best seat and satisfied smile when you got it. Waiting in line, commenting on the people who pass in front of you. Hey, dont blame us cause when you saw many girls wearing a super heels to a concert and its festival class, believe me you're gonna mocking her too. Dont get me started on two lustful bule who never stopped kissing although many small children around them.Get a room! hahahaha....

Anyway, on June,we did really greatful when we're finally decide to bought the ticket. Despite all the financial issues that month, we bought the ticket knowing that we will be full with regret if we didn't. Don't judge, but 950.000 indonesian rupiah for a concert, pheww...is a lot of money for us.

So it was around 9 pm, when the light goes off and appear beautiful lamp appearance on stage and people started screaaaaming. I had a palpitations and goosebumps all over my body when they come up and the one Adam Levine said "Hello Jakarta" and played Payphone as opening. Five songs were from Overexposed album ,while the rest would still be catchy in your ears and of course melt your heart down. Who's heart won't melt if you're listening Adam Levine played She Will be Loved in acoustic version?. They also played Gym Class Heroes' Stereo Hearts and jammed a bit of Justin's Sexy back. So despite all other, the live show might still have place on any fan's heart. Played about 18 songs for two hours, I do feel satisfied.

Below are the song lists in Jakarta Oct 4th

1. Payphone (overexposed)
2. Makes Me Wonder (IWBSBL)
3. Lucky Strike (overexposed)
4. Sunday Morning (songs about jane)
5. If I Never See Your Face Again (IWBSBL)
6. Wipe Your Eyes (overexposed)
7. Won’t Go Home Without You (IWBSBL)
8. Harder to Breath (songs about jane)
9. Wake Up Call (IWBSBL)
10. One More Night (overexposed)
11. Hands All Over (hands all over)
12. Misery (hands all over)
13. This Love (songs about jane)
14. She Will Be Loved (songs about jane)
15. Stereo Hearts
16. Daylight (overexposed)
17. Don’t You Want Me Baby/Sexy Back/Moves like Jagger (hands all over)

moment-to-remember things :

* When someone throwed DAMN I LOVE INDONESIA t-shirt to him, immediately wear it, roll up the sleeves and told a bit story about their verexposed album. He said : " So our new album Overexposed has come out, we played a couple song from it tonight. Have you heard it? I don't care if you buy it, borrow it, or copy it from other. I don't even care if you get it from pirated. The most important thing is you're listen to it."

* at encore they played music from Moves Like Jagger and with all the sudden theres a sound of the hippiest gangnam Style and he said with laugh " I'm not gonna dance that shit, you want to hear me singing right?"

* James Valentine's singing while Adam Levine played the drums

* Adam Levine to be sure is one of the bootylicous!! 

* You will never forget all his moves..sexy one..damn nyam!

Adam Levine's worshipers

*fist bump*

P.S: You can check out more photos from the show at my Facebook Page

Nice quote, but umm...

Little life quote a read from Nylon magazine yesterday, 

- Never get tired of doing little things for others, for those little things occupy the biggest part of their hearts -

what I read is. But what if its doesn't happen? What if that people didn't knowing that you're able to do all those little things to them and yet they don't take that to their heart? What if you are already did all those little things and maybe bigger things to them, and they're not doing the same for you?

life lately,

* Office. Not good...here's come the worst part
* Got more sensitive feeling...im over period.
* Finally managed to try Cosmopolitan and Sangria..both not bad,nor good.
* Financially weakened
* 2 more days to Maroon5 concert, I'm too excited!
* Had to say goodbye to Genta, he's been shipping to next island.For good.
* Make a statement that I do become freak and peculiar when it come to friends-thing.
* (have to ) Get rid of "I-think-my -friends-doesnt-need-me-as-much-as-I-need_them" feeling.
* Jumping around knowing that Prince Charming and Snow White from Once Upon a Time is a real couple in life.
* Things that I asked all my bestfriends to give me on my last bday? Have to dismiss it and stop wanting it.
* Enjoying all new episode and season from Glee, HIMYM, New Girl, OUiT and BigBang Theory.
* Listening to jason Walker - Echo , on and on and on again
* super bored with the routine.super.bored.

lebaran rasa mudik

habis puasa terbitlah lebaran..

buat saya yang gadis minang ini, rasanya agak kurang afdol kalo g pake acara mudik. Namun apa daya, finansial dan keadaan kantor g memungkinkan untuk cabut dan solat Ied di kampung halaman :( Tadinya memang saya berniat untuk lebaran kali ini stay di Bogor saja, karena libur kantor yang sedikit dan tiket yg mahal (ga pake lumayan!!), tapi suatu ketika telpon genggam saya berdering di suatu hari dan tertera tulisan "mamah" dilayarnya.. apa yang bakal kamu lakuin kalo orang tua kamu yang tinggal satu itu nelpon dan bilang " yaaah kamu g pulang lebaran? mama pengennya lebaran sama kamu". JEDERR!!!! Right at the moment when we hung up the phone, I get back to my computer and browsing. Yup, i'm looking for a super reasonable ticket to go. Finger Crossing.

Lebaran rasa rumah. Saya baru inget kalau lebaran tahun kemarin kami sekeluarga emang ngerayainnya d depok, its been quite long not to spend it in bukttinggi. Lebaran di Jakarta ini rasanya kurang lebaran,,jalanan sepi..sanak saudara pada jauh jauh..jadi aja setelah solat ied di rumah Bunda di Bogor, yang ada kita malah tidur - tiduran dan nontonin HBO ampe pusing. Abang saya yg paling tua ikut lebaran dirumah bunda karena dia juga dapet jatah liburnya dikit. Segitu pentingnya ya buat tv nayangin sinetron ampe crew nya g dapet jatah libur yang make sense? hahahah. Hari kedua baru deh kita ketemuan ama kakak dan spupunya si mamah di Grand Indo, yes..mall..Mall again for lebaran!!crap! Hei did I tell you that I got my ticket? Yes, I got my ticket to pulang kampung di hari ke3 lebaran..not bad lah..

Jadinya setelah delay nyaris 4 jam dan macet di padang menuju bukittinggi selama 6 jam,,sampai deh dirumaaah...Nyokap bahkan nrela nge-hold open house makan siang ama keluarga Jirek sampesaya nongol..yay!!

Yaaah walaupun traffic di Bukittinggi waktu lebaran itu sama aja kayak mindahin macetnya Jakarta,tetep diusahain jalan jalan sambil silaturahmiii.. Saya bahkan sempat berkunjung kerumah wali kelas dan bertemu dengan beberapa teman lama. Ketawa ketawa dan nostalgia sama mereka itu tak pernah mengecewakan :))

Senang rasanya melihat si mamah ketawa terus, g pernah ngomong capek. Rasanya mikirin apaaaaa ya yang kira kira bisa saya bantu buat mamah biar dia makin seneng. Kalo urusan beres beres rumah mah g usah ditanya, itu udah pasti ke handle dengan baik ditangan saya *idung mengembang*. Akhirnya bantuan yang diberikan adalah : Free driver!!!

hahaha yup, Mom's not allowed to drive the car, I drove her anywhere she wanna go. FYI, my mom's car is Grand Taft 4x4, can you imagine how heavy and hard the steer wheel?! *pijitpijettangan* My reward to self adalah berhasil nyetir Bukittinggi - Padang (its like jakarta - bandung via puncak) super yay!!!!

see you next year,home :*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA

ITS JUNE 26TH 2012

MAY YOU ALWAYS REST IN PEACE

another June 25th.

Hai Pa,

This June 25th 2012 marked as your 10th anniversary of rest in peace. 

Its been 10th years since 2002.

well, lotta things happen this year Pa,mom's getting old. She choose to come back and stay at Rumah Gadang. Its been a hard decision to finally let her go and lived there alone by herself. Really by her self.She's getting old,Pa. We can't and shouldn't let her live alone in that house.  But as we know, she's really happy to be there. Its like she'd often got sick in Jakarta, tired and fever because of the weather changes. And as far as we know, in Rumah gadang, she never ever got sick until nowadays. We assume that means she's relaxed :) 5 years in this big city is enough for her.

as for Ami, she's still in that remote area..She's doing great,having fun and had the moments she never had in her entire live before. A lot of friends to hang out with, love interest, a love to what she's been doing, come visit to Jakarta and the most important is she's got to be and do the independent. hopefully it'll make her more mature and grow up :)).  Rhino's been living for a while in 4E now, all together with his wifey and 2 kids and his brother in law following him. Had a job in production house,. To be honest i don't really get what's he doing,but he seems preety happy and well-fed..so I bet its good for him. Since he decided to take over the 4E, Kiki's have to move out and find someplace else to stay. Now he's staying in about 10m from 4E. Still doin' some series and sit in a assistant director's chair, nailed an indie movie for an actress couple months ago, find a love and then break up again,hahahhahahaha.. 

I'm still hangin in same office,Pa. Its been a bif of confusion for people around me, include mom. See, the office is about to shut down due to some corruption. We had to fired some of the employee, strain the outcome, work harder , doing multiple task because of the employee's cutback. Trembling at every end of the month wondering whether we can pay the employees and the resources or not. and its really not helping when your director/owner not around and seems dont care at all. People keep asking,why on earth am i still doing there. Well, for me its for the professional's sakes. If im out now, there's no one can handle my job and the company will not be saved, my friends sometimes don't get it. Fine by me, people are free to have their own opinion. At least I probably will stay here until the final decision. As for love story, well... kinda still stuck with the wrong situation but right person :) This strong differences in belief has literally killed me. He's,by this far, the best man i ever met (excuse my excessive). You're for sure gonna like him,Pa. He's got almost all your best too. Discipline, hard worker, thinker, family man, wise and lot of another good thing (again, excuse my excessive). But, its when down with the belief things. Its ok,i'm okay. This is the best decision for us. Mom's said,I'll get better one. 

Aunt Nunu visited me in last march, stay a night in my board house. We talked about lot of things and she cried for me in the morning. Shocked me. She's cried over my love story, my living, and my self. She never expect me to live this independent and had this much problem and still okay with that. Hey, you're the one who teach me to be tough. I simply said to Aunt Nunu, " Dont worry, I can take care of myself" and yes I DO.

I cant imagine what will happen in our life of you still breathing here with us. Its surely gonna be much much much better life :) We probably gonna live in Kalimantan for couple years and then moving again,we're gonna have a weekly schedule to go to the cinema - movies this day is really getting better and big and 3D and had greaaat story,Pa-, we're gonna have a lot of holiday trip, enjoying karaoke once a month, eat a lot kind of food, maybe get to do a midnight beer,  and lot of smile a long the way :)

The point is, you need to know that we're OK,Pa. Don't worry :)

kisses.


*write to you again next year...
