60 tahun sudah kita merdeka

Tapi kok heran, masih ada yg kelaparan

Binguuuung beribu bingung. 60 tahun bebas dari penjajahan tapi kok masih ada yg kelaparan. Udah merdeka lom sih kita? Yah itu sih yg kepikiran ama gw sekarang pas mo nulis postingan inih. Disaat kita sebagai rakyat Indonesia yg sedang gembira2nya merayakan kemerdekaan kita yg ke 60, ternyata masih ada saudara2 kita diluar sana yg masih membutuhkan uluran tangan kita. Tragis banget perjalanan bangsa ini. Dulu pernah swasembada pangan kok sekarang kelaparan. Yaaah setidaknya saya tidak kelaparan hari ini hehehehe. Mau tau kenapa???? Yiuuuuuukk..... dibaca.

Waaaah bener2 hari yg melelahkan. Dimulai dengan dipilihnya gw secara brutal oleh para wanita2 cantik komplek untuk memandu mereka menjadi kepala suku dalam rangkaian perayaan 17 Agustus di komplek sabtu kemarin. Penderitaan ternyata berlanjut hingga hari ini. Tetapiiiii........ awal yg gw kira nggak akan menyenangkan, ternyata berubah 199 derajat searah jarum jam hehehehe. Bener2 man, gw nikmatin banget hari ini. Mo tau kenapa??????? Yuuuuuuuuk..... sok atuh Dam, digoyaaaaaannng hakhakhakhak.

Jam 10 rangkaian lomba dimulai dengan lomba untuk anak2 yaitu sepeda hias. Anak2 panitia dagh kumpul smua. Gw, Ika, Oti, Icha, Firman, Kibod, Mbak Dewi, Mbak Lila (udah cuma sgitu.... kacrut banget kan, gimana gak nangis darah tuh). Gw berhasil membujuk bapak2 komplek beserta istri2 pertama mereka wat jadi juri dalam lomba ini. Waaaah gak nyangka ternyata bapak komplek Buenos Aires a.k.a. Buana Asri lumayan kreatif. Ada yg sepedanya pake pintu lah, ada yg sepedanyah ada kupu2nya lah, ada yg sepedanya kaya rudal lah, pokoknya aneh2 lah. Lumayan lah buat hiburan mata di pagi hari dan juga sebagai start dr hal yg gw kira nggak banget menjadi yang Ya banget hehehehe.

Lomba berlanjut ke lomba ambil poin sambil naik sepeda dimana smua anak yg sangat petakilan ituh ketawa-ketiwi sambil naik sepeda nyari2 kartu yg ada poin nyah. Yg paling banyak poinnyah, menang degh heheheehe (indahnya masa kanak2 hehehe, jadi pengen lg). Lomba berlanjut ke Makan krupuk.... dimana gw juga berkesempatan tuk merasakan legit dan nikmatnya kerupuk menggeliat-geliat secara leluasa dimulut gw..... Hmmmmmmmm..... Walau akhirnyah gw kalah, (ama cewe lagih. *Ika.... elu tuh cantik2 ternyata perut tong sampah juga yah, omnivora luh hehehehehe*). Banyak banget lomba yg dimainkan hari ini. Ada masukin jarum dalam benang *eh kebalik maap* hehehe, trus sendok kelereng, makan pisang sambil tutup mata, mindahin bendera, dan sempet istirahat sebentar wat makan siang hehehe. Waaaah tenyata ibu2 Buenos Aires bener2 kreatip. Menunya ada soto ayam pake lontong disambung dengan es kelapa muda sebagai pencuci mulut. Wedeeeeeeeewww....... nikmat oh nikmat hehehehe. Setelah istirahat n shalat zuhur, kegilaan berlanjut ke lomba joged sambil rebutan kursi. Kembali urat malu gw kembali putuss. Dengan gembiranya, saya berjoget ala 'Gangsta Trippin' dengan sedikit Snoop style diiringi dengan Lagu Bang Thoyib oleh Irma Bestari (nama ini hanya fiktif semata, bila ada kesamaan, yaaaa maap ajeh gituuuuh weheehehee.....). Walau gw berhenti di 4 besar, setidaknya gw bisa merasakan kembali, gimana rasanya kehilangan urat malu hehehehehehehe......

Lanjut lagi, pada puncak acara yaitu lomba buat nasi goreng oleh para bapak2. Sekedar informasi bahwa sebenarnya yg seharusnyah ikut tuh bokap, tapi secara doi cuma tau jadi ajah, akhirnyah..... kembali.... Ad@m menguncang dunia Kulinari dengan resep2nyah yg ciamik nun sedep pisan hehehehe. Yang jadi juri adalah pak Ikhsan yg dah pernah 5 tahun sekolah masak di Paris dan sekarang kerja di Hilton sebagai Head Of Cheff...... Uuuuuuggghhh...... jadi ngeper secara gw klo masak tuh paling cuma bisa nasi goreng, indomie goreng, masak aer, ubi rebus, singkong rebus, goreng tempe, goreng tahu, ama ngulek sambel trasi (itu juga karena kasian ama nyokap secara kagak ada yg bantuin). Akhirnyah..... pengundian dimulai dimana ada 5 macam nasi goreng yg akan dilombakan yaituuuu:

1). Nasi Goreng Kampung

2). Nasi Goreng Kambing

3). Nasi Goreng Pete

4). Nasi Goreng Sosis

5). Nasi Goreng Ika Asin

Dan setelah diundi, gw mendapat kesepatan terhormat untuk membuat NASI GORENG SOSIS hahahahahahahahaha. Ini mah cingcai ama sayah, cicing wae taah. Waaaaaaaaw ini apa???? Itu apa????? gw kagak tau ama yg ini itu. Semua bahannyah aneh2 sayah nggak kenal semuanyah hehehehehe. Akhirnyah, feeling yg bermain...... Semua gw masukin dr mulai yg putih2 ancur (curiganya sih bawang putih), ampe yg coklat2 kaya *** (antara bumbu nasi goreng ama kecap... masih lom terjawab sape mosting). Sreng.... Srong.... Sreng.... Oseng2. Dengan sedkit bantuan oleh Oti n Icha yg cantik2 akhirnya Nasi Goreng Sosis Merem Melek 15 Menit jadi juga. Aaaaaah senang sekali, walao gw pikir rasanya bakal gak karuan. Lanjut ke proses penilaian. Icip... icip... sang maestro berkomat kamit dr 1 piring ke piring yg laen. Wedeeeeww..... kesannyah dah prof bgt gw hehehehehehe. Akhirnya, pengumuman tiba juga.... dag dig dug... Juara 1 Pak Widodo..... Juara 2 Pak Irfan *dengan sedikit racikan ganja dr Aceh-nya hehehe*..... Daaaaaan Juara 3 .....................................tenoneeeeeeeeeet ========> Ad@@@@@@@m hehehehehehehe. Lumayan lah, Alhamdullillah dapet juara 3 hehehehe. Dapet hadiah apa yah humhhhhhhh???????

Setelah beres, Pak Ikhsan melanjutkan aksinya dengan memberikan Workshop: Nasi Goreng Spesial 15 Menit yg sempat membuat ibu2 komplek ternganga-nganga dengan aksi api di wajannya yg ruaaaaar biasa hehehehehehehe. Ooooo ternyata gitu toh... OOOO tenyata gak boleh itu toh...... Ooooooo...... tiulah komen2 yg banyak keluar saat sang maestro memamerkan aksi jumpalitannya diatas kompor tadi hehehehe, Lumayan lah wat nambah2 ilmu hehehehe.

Akhirnya, selesai sudah rangkaian perayaan 17-an di suatu Komplek bernama Buenos Aires. Kisah mingkin akan berlanjut sabtu malam besok dimana akan ada acara kumpul2 wat malam renungan n pembagian hadiah. Pastinya, makan2 yg saya tunggu.... apa lagi coba hehehehe.

Dan tentunya, dalam kesempatan ini, gak lupa gw ingin menyampaikan:

DIRGAHAYU REPUBLIK INDONESIA YANG KE 60

SEMOGA NEGERI INI AKAN SEGERA DENGAN CEPAT BANGKIT DARI KETERPURUKAN, SERTA MAKIN JAUH DARI YANG NAMANYA KORUPSI, KOLUSI, DAN NEPOTISME YANG MERUSAK BANGSA

MERDEKAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

Yaaaah kurang lebih hasilnyah kayak gini degh NASI GORENG SOSIS MEREM MELEK 15 MENIT ala Ad@m hehehehehe

Happy 56th Birthday Dad :-*

Banten Knight and his Legacy. Gak deeeng, tuh gw ma bokap lg narcis. Like Father, Like Son

Father And Son
Cat Stevens a.k.a. Yusuf Islam/Boyzone/Ronan Keating

*Father*
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

*Son*
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

*Father*
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
if you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
(Son-- Away Away Away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone - no)

*Son*
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them They know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(Father-- Stay Stay Stay, Why must you go and
make this decision alone?)

Waaaaaahhh...... Ad@m back nih with his posting madness hehehehe. Gak kerasa dah hampir seminggu aja gituh gw kagak posting-posting on my number one spot. Well actually today is a very special day on my family since today, on the 14th of August 2005, my dad turns to 56. Happy birthday dad. Hope you'll always be healthy as always and hope that everything that you wished for come true. Kemaren malem bokap ama nyokap ternyata pergi nginep diluar *keknya nyokap dapet free hotel booked lagi degh dr Hilton* and they will return home perhaps today. So i haven't got the chance to give him a congrats. Just through SMS today.

Mom, me, n Lila have prepared a special gift for him in which a new pair of shoe for him to wear. But i also have a special gift of my own for dad. Kemaren pas gw balik dari kantor, gw sempet2in dah wat nyari-nyari tool kit bag yg bagus di Giant secara bokap tuh demen banget tuh ama yang namanya tools n perkakas2 yg lain2 kek tang, obeng (maaaaaan..... obeng ajah mungkin punya 20 macem lebih kaliii), dll. buat dikoleksi dan gw sempet liat tool kit bag nyah yg lama dah sedikit compang camping. Kemaren setelah terdampar secara mengerikan (maaaaan penuh banget kemaren Giant, ibu2 semua pula kacrut da ah) akhirnya gw dapet juga seperangkat tool kit yg lumayan lah dengan warnanya yg biru dan ruangnya yg cukup luas wat nyimpen tools2 yg laennyah. Hope that he likes it.

Talkin bout my dad, well he's a really strict person. Sort of military who always worship the words called democracy and dicipline to his children. Dulu sempet ada pikiran.... kok bokap gw gini banget sih nggak kaya bokap2 orang laennn... *Bokap terkenal ama kegalakannyah man ampe ditakutin 1 komplek hehehe*. Tapi gw baru sadar bahwa in the end, semua petuah2, larangan2, wejangan2 yg pernah dia kasih ke gw dan ade2 gw tuh really worthed in the future. Kerasa man sekarang Abis2an hehehe. Thanks dad. Weeelll despite of his charisma as a true man filled with anger hehehe, he also a great joker *like my other uncles yg aneh2. Sumpe deh klo lg gathering, Srimulat putus daaah*. He always makes us laugh everytime we stick together in the living room, dining room, n even the car. He alwasys comes up with a very good practical jokes that can easily tickle our feet hehehehe.

Sides that, dad also famous for his sports activity. He really loves to exercise. From tenis, badminton, jog etc. Semua dah pernah dilahap lah. Saking bandelnya, setahun yg lalu dokter pernah sempet ngelarang doi wat lari2 lagih secara ada sedikit masalah di persendian gara2 kebanyakan olah raga, tapi tetep aja tuh ampe hari ini yg namanya jogging habis ba'da subuh masih aja dijabanin ma doi' *kalah man anaknyah* hehehehe.

Again..... your biggest 1st son *hehehehe* would like to say Happy 56th Birthday Dad. Hope you'll be as healthy as always n hope everything that u wished for will come true. Thank you for feeding us with your own sweat for nearly 25 years. I promised you that i won't let you down. Luv you dad. Your the best dad in da whole wide world.

A one big happy family

Me and my dad again. Hehehehe masih putih

Fix Me :(

Coldplay

Fix You

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

High up above or down below
when you're too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face and I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

simply.... untitled

confused, doubtful, hopeless, regretful, empty, incomplete, lighthearted,worried...... everything just mixed up

Guess who's baccccck...????

A lesson from Lufthansa and Happy B'Day Lil' Bro

Waaaah..... what a tiring day today. Before i start to tell you the whole story, first of all i would like to express my biggest regrets to my students because i can't teached yall today *sorry guys, Mr. Phunky got something to work on* hehehehe. Actually today gw seharusnyah ngajar di MIES sebanyak 3 classes (Tuesday n Friday). Buuuut, a week ago, My boss n Mbak Ah Yen told me to attend a seminar held by Lufthansa cargo on the 2nd of August. Ya udah gw ikut ajah dan harus merelakan my students diganti oleh the replacement killers hehehe.

Well actually its a Customer Advisory Board Meeting for all LH (Lufthansa) customers that specially exported Live Animals in which the service called Live/td. The event was held at Sheraton Hotel near the airport. I went there today together with the Far East Enterprise shipment to Japan which conducted by Pak Rakim. Damned the traffic was so cacthy that it caused me to be late for half an hour. After arrived there, the presentation has already started and i miss some of the statements. But atleast my curiosity about why the rate for Live Tropical Fish and Live Aquatic Plants are so damned high have finally revealed (oh yeah, don't forget bout the perishable charge/POE charges for USD 65.00 that only served by LH...... maaaaan too expensive). Its actually already stated by the European Union that all airlines that destinated to EU countries should have a POE charges for the customs. Sides that, the topic that was hot to be talked to was about the re-oxygen process for LTF on Frankfurt.

Yeees..... lots of new lesson that i got today, especially about the forwarding and shipping process that held by a certain airlines (especially Lufthansa). I also got some new friends from other exporters n perhaps officially, we're going to establish a cooperation on exporting Corals since my company don't have the CITES permit to send corals (right Mr. Ricky hehehehe).

Finally, it comes to an end. Ada door prize ternyatah. Waktu kartu nama masing2 orang dikocok *perhaps only 15 kartu yg dikocok, dikit yah yg dateng*, suddenly nama gw yg keluar. Waaaaaaaaaaa....... gw dapet replika MD 11-nyah LH karya McDonnell Douglas hehehehe. Lumayan wat pajangan di kamar.

Nih dia pesawatnyah McDonnell Douglas MD 11

Pulangnya naek Damri ke rambutan. Huaaaaaaa macetnyah gak kira2. Oh iyah, today was also the birthday of my little brother Faridz. Happy 20th Birthday yah bro. Study hard there n take care di Bandung sonoh yah. Jangan lupa klo balik bawain gw jaket Ouval Researchnyah hehehehe *ngarep mode on*
