The Last 20th

Iyah saya layak digampar gara-gara postingan ini. Ulang tahun udah lewat setengah tahun, malah baru sekarang bikin postingan blognya. Krik.


Tapi nggak apa lah, sebagaimana halnya traktiran, nggak pernah ada kata basi untuk posting blog. Apalagi di tahun terakhir gue sebagai anggota Club 20 (hiks) kemarin, gue sangat sangat SENANG. Bukan om-om senang ya, tapi beneran senang. 


Seperti tahun-tahun sebelumnya, ada empat foto perayaan ulang tahun gue. Pertama di Sushi Tei, sehari sebelum hari H, yang mana sepertinya sudah membudaya bahwa setiap seminggu dan/atau setelah hari ulang tahun maka harus ke Tei supaya dapet birthday sushi cake gratisan itu. Apalagi gue udah lama jadi member. Pft iya nggak ada hubungannya, cuma mau nyombong.

Yang beda pada tahun lalu adalah akhirnya gue berhasil menjajal makan-makan di Holycow pada hari ulang tahun, dan sebagai orang yang berulangtahun maka gue betulan dapet gratisan. So, hari itu gue cuma bayar makanan untuk 3 orang karena makanan gue gratis. Lumayan pake banget. Kapan lagi makan wagyu sirloin gratis. Muehehe.

Yang beda lagi adalah kejutan dari temen-temen geng Plurk. Setelah biasanya gue yang selalu sibuk merencanakan kejutan untuk masing-masing anggota geng (yang sekiranya mudah diajak ketemuan), akhirnya tiba giliran gue yang terima kejutan. Tadinya sih gue ketawa-ketawa aja pas liat temen-temen gue panik karena gue tiba-tiba muncul di tempat janjian dan jadi tau kejutan mereka, tapi yang gue nggak nyangka adalah kuenya.


It's my Loki cake. It's MINE.

OMG.

Perasaan gue campur aduk antara seneng dan kaget banget anak-anak ini pada bisa terpikir sampe ke sana, dan juga geli-geli ge-er karena gambar gue sendiri jadi kue hahahahaha. Tapi yang pasti gue berterimakasih sebesar-besarnya kepada temen-temen gue ini. It was sweet like really. In return, I wish I would always remember to celebrate your birthdays in the future.

Oh, dan KUENYA ENAK BANGET ANJAYYYY~

Sudah? Belum.

Setelah momen kue Loki yang jatuh pada hari Senin (my birthday was in Saturday, fyi), somehow anak-anak kantor jadi pada tau kalo gue ulang tahun. Gue yakin sih dari temen gue yang temenan di Path, yang kebetulan ultahnya udah seminggu sebelum gue duluan. Lalu mereka bergantian kasih selamat, dan setelah akhirnya semua tau gue ultah, gue cerita ke accounting kalo di hari sebelumnya gue dikasih surprise kue Loki itu. Gue kasih lihat fotonya dan gue cerita kalo kuenya enak, bla bla bla, seraya menjanjikan traktiran buat mereka tapi bukan di hari itu juga.

Akhirnya gue traktiran dong, hari Jumatnya. Udah gue suruh pada order, dan tinggal nunggu makanannya dateng. Akhirnya makanan dateng sore-sore sekitar jam 5an, jam-jamnya gue ibadah. Ibadah beneran, bukan ibadah makan atau otome game. Balik dari musholla, kok gue sama si temen gue yang ultah sebelum gue itu (dia kebetulan udah traktiran pas hari H) diajak-ajak duduk di tengah, mau ngobrol katanya. Gue bingung lah, dan masih mau balik ke ruangan juga. Tapi karena suasananya lagi enak, gue balik ke ruang tengah dan...tah-daaah, ternyata ada kue lagi!


Sepertinya sih terinspirasi dari cerita surprise kue Loki HAHAHAHA JADI NGGAK ENAK! Eh, jadi enak deng ufufu. Tapi kuenya buat berdua, bukan buat gue sendiri. Ya nggak masalah juga. Sayangnya cuma kenapa kue buah sih, jadi nggak bisa gue take away hahaha enggak deng, waktu itu emang nggak pengen juga bawa kue lagi soalnya masih ada sisa kue ultah yang Baymax sama Loki itu. 

Yang pasti gue senang. Senang, riang, hari yang kunantikan. It was not a bad way to celebrate my last 20th year. It was even AMAZING. Well, lately I feel like hating some people and thinking that friends are just mere people in my life, but moments like this make me realize of how lucky I am to have them.


 Well, bye bye 20th year and welcome to the first part of my 30th year!

Bolehkah Aku Merindu?


Bolehkah aku merindu?

Padamu yang pernah beri warna di hari-hariku.


Sebut aku labil, atau panggil saja aku dengan istilah apapun yang kamu tahu. Karena aku tidak peduli katamu. Apa yang kurasa tak dapat berubah hanya dengan hinamu. Aku rindu. Aku merindu. Aku ingin kembali pada kita di saat itu.

Tak sampai satu tahun kamu di sisiku maupun aku di sisimu. Aku datang tak jauh sebelum pergimu, satu per satu. Pedih menguasaiku. Perpisahan tak pernah menjadi momen favorit dalam hidupku. Saat aku mulai pahamimu dan kau mulai menerimaku, aku dipaksa untuk menerima bahwa kau tak putuskan untuk tetap di sisiku. 

Bolehkah aku merindu?

Pada kita yang jalani hari bersama dalam waktu.

Lalu datang lagi dirimu yang baru. Dalam luka kuterima dan kucoba persembahkan cintaku. Aku tak pernah lupa senyummu. Tak sedikitpun kamu pernah kecewakanku. Rasa yang kuberi dengan keretakan hati kau terima tanpa syaratmu.

Namun kali itu giliranku. Bertahan di sana semakin mustahil bagiku. Ini bukan tentang dirimu. Bukan juga tentang rasaku padamu. Kepergian adalah satu-satunya pilihan bagiku. Dan aku tak bisa menunggu. Meski sungguh, adamu menahan langkahku. Betapa ingin aku tetap di sampingmu, lewati waktu. 

Bolehkah aku merindu?

Padaku di sisimu, dan padamu di sisiku.

Karena kini kita terpisah, tak lagi satu. 

Karena kini kita terurai menjadi serpihan debu.

Bolehkah aku merindu?

p.s: untuk kalian yang tak sampai setahun bersamaku di sana, menemani hari-hariku, beri mentari pada mendungku, menjadi pelangi setelah hujanku.

2012, Bandung, and 2013


How was your new year celebration? Was it fun or plain?

Mine was, thank God, too fun to forget. But since I'm a forgetful person, I'll write it here so that I won't forget.  

I went for holiday with my boys, Asri, Asrul, Hafit, and Ryza, to Bandung. We planned to have some more people join, but too bad on the planned day some people already had another agenda, so that only five of us went. 

We were coworkers in Farida Law Office until last January 27th. Before we were off for holiday, four of us conveyed resignation letters jointly LOL not because we planned it jointly, but that was totally a coincidence. I was actually the one who planned to resign first due to better offer in another law firm, but then Ryza told me that he would too, followed with Asri, and I just found out that Asrul also resigned in the same day. Hafit was not included since his contract would still end in August. But imagine how shock our ex-boss was LOL.

And so we left Jakarta in Sunday morning by travel car. We found hard to find cheap hotel in new-year days, but thank God we coincidentally found a lodging house which had a quite big bedroom that we could rent for only around 500k IDR/3 days. What a saving! And these are the arrival photos I took with Asri before entering the house.



But since I was the only girl and the bed was not enough to have four people on, we asked for two additional beds. 

Afterwards we went lunch in a restaurant nearby. Sigh too bad I can't show much pictures because of the lost SD card -_-


We had delicious grilled chicken and soup there, and they also sold delicious bottled tea that I don't remember the brand. 

At night we went to CiWalk to have dinner and karaoke, this time Asri's friend joined us (um but I forget her name -_-)



Afterwards we were picked up by our friend Adit, whom was also our coworker. We were off to Bukit Bintang and took some photos.



Since the place was too down low, Adit failed to drive the car up with all of us in. So that we needed to get out of the car to push it up to the normal street LOL. We laughed and joked about that like 'we are lawyers who push the car up' xD

Afterwards we went to Gedung Sate and took some photos. Surprisingly such building was lightened with beautiful lamps around the roof.


Then we headed to Matari to have some...what is the name of 'eating between dinner and breakfast'? We had yummy Indomie with eggs and beef corned.


Next day on Monday, which was the New Year's eve, we went shopping like crazy. We visited nearly all factory outlets and distros, and thank God that some distros gave great discounts for their items, so that we shopped a lot. We had late lunch in Legoh, a small restaurant whose food are also delicious and I am impressed by their tofu cuisines. Afterwards we were picked up by Adit again in our lodging house and went to Paris van Java to have dinner. Since nearly all the restaurants were full, we ended up dining in Pepper Lunch.

 
It was my first time eating in Pepper Lunch. What a high cost food but I admit that the food is delicious. But surely I can't eat there each month -_- 

We ended up 2012 in Killiney Kopitiam. We sat beside the window so that we could watch the fireworks. They were beautiful and jaw-dropping, since there were some new kinds of fireworks that we never seen before. Going back from PVJ, we failed to find taxi and rent a public car instead, but too bad the driver rejected to drive us until the lodging house due to the traffic. So that we stopped by...I forgot, somewhere, and took a walk. 

Really?

Nooo, because in the middle of walking, the goddess of luck visited me, Asri, and Hafit, so that we could get a ride from another public car, while Asrul and Ryza had already walked too far from us LOL. We arrived at the house with dirty feet caused by the tarnished street after the rain then slept until the afternoon. LOL.

We packed our bags and went to the travel car site, ordering tickets to go home, and since the order had been full we got the 8PM trip o_O but we had no choice since we should go back to work by the next day. So we still took that schedule then went lunch in a cafe called S-28 nearby. The place was cozy, they have yummy nasi bakar that we fell for! And they offered me to make member card for free as well.



Then we shopped (again) in some distros in Jl. Riau as yesterday, and I'm glad that I found some beautiful clothes with logical price, my friends did find great clothes like cheap blazers as well. So we could go home with satisfaction since we know we could not obtain good clothes with low price in Jakarta.

We left Bandung in 8PM, and the traffic to Jakarta was totally hell. I could not sleep calmly since my mother kept texting me, asking me where my position was. Seriously, everyone in Jakarta seemed to move to Bandung in the new year -___- so I just arrived home in 2:30AM. I texted Hafit and he said everyone arrived in 3:00AM. What a long way home.

But then in year-beginning party, my ex-boss asked me how my new year holiday was. I told her that since I spent it with my best friends, it was fun, crazy, and unforgettable. We hope that we could spend the next year-end holiday abroad or at least in another island like Bali LOL hopefully we've earned enough money by the day. AMEN. LOL.

And that was my new year holiday. How's yours?

Happy belated new year 2013!

p.s: I'm currently going out with one of my boys above. Guess which one? ;)

April Surrender

I don't usually do poem request. But the crowd seems to want me to write one (or maybe more until they're satisfied).

This poem is about 'move-on' moment. You know...you're in love (in this poem, maybe with your best friend) and you're hopeless, then you know you have to let go. Such things. Um...I guess I ever made such poems before, in around November. But it was not by request. LOL.

Writing a poem is totally my hobby, not my passion. So it's a little bit weird to do request since this is not my job and I'm not professionally required. But why not seeing this as a new lesson to learn? Like my most favorite line in this poem: 'loving you wasn't a regret definitely, every day is a lesson learned for me.'


Since I wrote this today in the morning when the sun shone bright and I was on the way to Kelurahan to make E-KTP, I feel like this gloomy poem seems cheering instead. I guess the weather influenced my mood. And I title this as 'April Surrender' because, I repeat, I wrote this today, April 1st.

Do you like it or hate it?

The sun is shining brightly
Today is going like usually
The difference is just in me
This early April is kind of gloomy

Last night I finally realized
Picking you has been wrongly decided
Not that my eyes were stubbornly closed
Just nobody let them wide opened

But put all your trust in me
Nothing will change between you and me
You're still a friend you can be
You still got my back perfectly
Loving you wasn't a regret definitely
Every day was a lesson learned for me

It's 10AM, everything's stable
Giving up on you, will I be able?
Most of the time I will stumble
Now I won't, this is unbreakable

For everything I did, I'm sorry
I bet all my poems kept you worry
But to have you stay around calmly
I believe you're a friend undoubtedly

Thank you for being in my life
Because of you I know how to be wise
Every little truth I saw in your eyes
Let me see how I'm worth alive

Honestly I know the words are not original, not typical. But I quite like it. How about you?
