Jakarta #03 .................................

Listen to this kind of songs is better using a headphone, in-ear headset, or a well-built car sound system... hahaha... This reminds me of the old days...

Ok skip that... Going back to the past didn't change anything for now...
Now, lets head straight forward!...

Hey, by the way... How are you guys?
I hope U all just got the energy to run out this day! YEAAAHHH!!!

A good hot latte and some gorengan accompany me this morning while typing this blog post... Hahaha... It's my breakfast actually... Hmm... Ngomong kopi jadi inget klo kopi dirumah uda abis... Semoga nanti ga lupa buat beli kopi.

in to the story...

Day 3 on Jakarta.

1 AM and still awake. We are playing cards and as ussual when we playing cards is we lost the time.... hahahaha... Ga sadar waktu dah... tiba2 uda mo pagi aje... Ya begitulah keasikan kita, yang ga lama akhirnya tidur juga setelah sadar waktu... Hahahaha... bangun tidur etc ga usa diceritain kali yah... hidup para bujangan lah, just imagine it.

Ada beberapa hal yang pengen g sharing disini mengenai pengalaman hidup para sahabat g, cuman sepertinya ga skarang kali ya ato mungkin cukup g keep sendiri untuk yang satu ini... It's too personal, since it is a personal matter. Dan g belom punya kata2 untuk mengubah hal yang personal itu menjadi general ato setidaknya bisa dimengerti ma orang2 "biasa". Hehehe... Tapi yang pasti, jalan2 ma mereka itu ga lepas dari namanya makan dan makan... hahaha...

Singkat kata, dengan keadaan dimana kita be3 memang dalam ekonomi yang sulit akhirnya kita memutuskan untuk bertemu 2 orang lagi dari anggota "five Idiots" yang dimana tempat mereka ada di daerah Grogol, and we are in Kelapa Gading. Hmmm... Di siang hari kami berjalan menuju Grogol dan muaaacetnyooooooo... MANTAPPSSS!!! Ya jalur yang kita lewatin memang jalur macet sih, jadi ya kali ini g bener2 dah merasakan macetnya Jakarta!!! Hahahhaa... Menempuh kemacetan Jakarta sambil menunggu 2 kabar dari 2 batang idung Grogol yang tak kunjung ngasi kabar juga dan sampe satu titik dimana kita memutuskan untuk stop by di salah satu resto baso. Ya lumayanlah buat nenangin diri dari kemacetan Jakarta... hahahaha... Abis itu kita akhirnya balik, karena uda sore juga.

Oya sebelom kita memutuskan untuk jalan ke Grogol, G berencana untuk menghadiri pemberkatan  pernikahan sodara g di gereja Katedral, Jakarta. But I decide to not to go there instead of I will come at their ceremony on Sunday at the party. Reason? Don't have any, just felt didn't quite right if I go there. Akhirnya kita ngabisin waktu buat muter2 Jakarta n ended up in Unank's place. Hahaha... Thank you Guys... Smoga next time kita ketemu bisa seneng2 bareng lagi sambil sharing2 bareng juga... Pas uda mo balik ke Ponti baru kepikiran, kenapa kemaren kaga ke puncak ya... uda lama ga makan indomie n jagung bakar sambil bengong2 disana... hahahaha... nextlah yaa... Sama uda lama juga kaga ngikutin trip makan ala Teten... hahaha... Suka banget dia makan ditempat yang nan jauh disana, ya walaupun there's some places are great and some are not but instead of it's great or not, but the experience were great.

Ok, besoknya ato Day 4, g memang berencana ketemu Anna (adikku) dan g baru ngasi tau ke Anna klo g ada di Jakarta hari itu. Ya kan memang sebelumnya g ga pernah ngasi tau soal kedatangan g ke Jakarta saat itu so it's a quite surprise for her. Hahaha... Soal ini 2 sahabat g bilang "tega banget lu no ma keluarga lu". ya tega ga tega lah, soal ini g belajar dari cara blusukannya Ahok... hahahaha... Emang maunya surprise supaya ga ada persiapan buat counter n guess what? It works!

Anna kaget begitu g bilang mau berangkat bareng ke pesta pernikahan sodara g, dan singkat kata dengan kebaikan dari 2 sahabat, g dianterin ampe depan kosan Anna... And off we go to the wedding party, in the middle of the road, Anna and his boyfriend planning to pick up Lidya (one of Anna's bestfriend) and then we straight to the party. It's quite unique since the party was held in a museum. The entrance, we must walk through the museum before reach the party and that making some guests had some little tour about the museum. Still in this moment, mom n other family didn't know about my homecoming.

Shocks!!! Some shock, some happy, some thrill, some so happy until tears come through their eyes and some just like ordinary reaction. But that's not what I'm looking for. Just FYI, my parents was divorced because their mismatch after years of marriage. I will share it later, right now my main concern is my mother. When she knows that I was there, she immediately hugs me, tears are falling down and after that, few unfiltered words of truth came out from her (this is my main achievement) and I already get it. After that, I've met some relatives, cousins, nephews, om2 n tante2 dari keluarga nyokap. It's quite fun meet, and talk with them and also, I've met the main or the centre of this party! Congratulations to Enril n Dini! At last I met Dini for the first time... Hahaha...

Also I've met with my father. He shock and hugs me as well but, still his words are just for his consumption alone. Ok skip skip, after some time Anna wanted to leave the party since she was already tired and me! I stays along with my sister, bukannya g ga mau nemenin nyokap (yang jadi salah satu panitia dipesta) tapi entah kenapa g berasa cape banget. Mungkin karena pengaruh udara n kurang tidur gara2 begadang mulu ma 2 sahabat yang ga tau waktu... Wkwkwkwk... Skip skip akhirnya kembalilah kita ke kosnya Anna. Mulailah cerita mengalir dari sisi Anna... One by one it flows out starting from no planning until reality.

The next day, I met with mom in the morning. In this time, she tells me her story that actually I expecting something more honest story than what she tells me instead. No need for me to type down about what I felt at that time. Ya gitu deh... G ga tau kenapa tapi mungkin suatu saat nanti g akan tau alasannya. Tetap berusaha positif saat itu dan hingga saat ini. Hahahaha...

hari-hari selanjutnya lebih banyak g abisin ma Anna, mulai dari nyari parfum titipan istriku tercinta sampai makanannya Miko... Hahahaha... Fun days with my sister dah pokoke ditengah sulitnya ekonomi saat ini.

Mungkin hal yang bisa g share saat ini berawal dari kata "SURPRISE" and "HONEST".

Surprise merupakan cara yang g pake untuk mencari tahu informasi yang cukup jujur. Kenapa? Konon katanya kalimat atau kata2 pertama yang terucapkan adalah yang jujur atau yang benar atau mungkin kalimat yang mengungkapkan keinginan sebenarnya (unfiltered). Ini ga sepenuhnya benar ya... Dalam kasus g saat ini berlaku, tapi belom tentu berlaku di saat yang lain, semua tergantung dari bagaimana kita menganalisa sang target.

G bersyukur bahwa g telah mendapatkan apa yang jadi target g, ya walaupun g juga predict mengenai hasilnya jadi ya tinggal bagaimana memainkan chess pieces dengan apik dan ciamik. (Padahal g ga bisa maen catur... Wkwkwkwk...)

baiklah, mata mulai cape ngetik segini panjang (#lebay)... Perasaan dulu waktu kerja kantoran bisa ngadepin layar laptop seharian, skarang daya tahan menurun... Hahaha... But I'm so grateful to have such an awesome eyes.

But, not only eyes, Thank You for this great body, Thank You for these skills that I could do with the help of this body, Thank You for the experiences either it's good or bad, Thank You for the feelings that I still could felt, and also Thank you because my heart still barely beating and I could keep breathing. This is a good coffee actually, hopefully, one day, we could enjoy this together. Thank You.

"When was the last time you say "Thank You"?
