Mati Suri

Laptop pertama

Laptop ketiga saya kumat! Gejala-gejala aneh dimulai setahun yang lalu, mulai dari USB printer yang moody, terus kameranya yang gak berfungsi (and akhirnya terpaksa beli kamera eksternal buat modal diklat teknis online). Dilanjutkan dengan wifinya gak bisa jalan... dan terpaksalah saya beli dongle wifi...(untung harganya cuma 25 ribu), lanjut dengan huruf "y" yang kudu disentuh dengan seksama (sungguh merepotkan pekerjaan editing hick...), belum lagi yang pin layarnya patah sehingga kalo layarnya dibuka lewat dari 90 derajat dibagian ujung samping laptop akan ada senyuman yang merekah di sana. Tapi kalo masalah senyum itu sih dah dari 2 tahun yang lalu siiih... itu menyusul gejala batere soak... hihihi... maklum, usia laptop sudah 8 tahunan... Si Eko, teknisi di kantor kalo saya mulai ngrusuhi dia, selalu memberikan solusi beli baru... idiiih....

Ngalor-Ngidul Sustainability

Pagi-pagi, ku terus buka HP... hahaha... Polah manusia jaman ini memang aneh yak... entah karena mau matiin alarm atau mau ngecek medsos.. bukannya mandi dan menggosok gigi seperti lagu gubahannya Pak Kasur... (anak anak jaman sekarang bakal ngowoh ditanyain itu lagu apa, dan siapa itu Pak Kasur...). Sst.. saya bukan mau cerita masa kecil saya, atau soal kontroversialnya lagu itu dibahas orang-orang kurang kerjaan... Mestinya bangun tidur baca doa dulu, terus ambil wudhu... dll..., saya mau cerita aja tadi pagi pas buka WA, ada WA yang dikirimkan teman saya jam 22.30 an malam. Laah, saya tuh tadi malem kolaps dengan sukses dari jam 9 malam kayaknya... entahlah, yang pasti saya bangun tengah malam hanya untuk mematikan laptop, TV dan wifi, terus balik lagi ke tempat tidur dengan bahagia, melanjutkan molor saya.

A Weary Day

While preparing my lunchbox, my Mom asked me to work from home one morning of September. I didn't feel too well either since the previous night I worked on a chapter of a book of a senior officer, and I had planned to translate the chapter that day... well... that was my plan...

So, after having my breakfast, I communicated with the senior officer, to tell him what he should do with the file (FYI, he is not very good with computer... hahahaha), and discussed the content of his chapter. I actually do not want to give consultation on tourism anymore -- too many heartaches-- but, I respect this senior officer, so I usually review and discuss his thoughts for his articles.

I was planning to take a bath, but then a director of one of well established travel bureau here consulted me for her presentation on a webinar on tourism. So, I ended up being her consultant for her to set her topic for the presentation...which I don't mindat all, since she has been very kind to me for all this years, and she didn't know that I no longer hold the position at my previous office.

Miniature Rose

 I love roses, but never really tried to plant them. I didn't try to plant them for their thorns and for my impatience. I am not very patient... Once or twice my Mom planted roses. She has green thumbs, and the roses she planted usually grow, not always...but some could survive. But when it's time to enjoy the flowers, there would be people come to ask for the flower petals because they need them for "visiting graves" or for medication... So... we only ended up enjoying the leaves and the thorns.

Three months ago, Rias, my office mate, gave me roses cuttings. They were pink baby roses. It could only survive for a month. Couple weeks ago, I accompanied a friend to a nursery, and I saw this miniature roses. I bought one and place it at my balcony, where it can get sun shine from morning until down. It's been 3 weeks since then, and the flowers are blooming....

FAMILY

After asking permission from my boss yesterday, I went home to pick up my sister and her 5 year old son to take them to the airport. My sister and my youngest nephew came 5 days ago to see my parents as my Dad was hospitalized 2 weeks ago.

I love you Momma

Momma and her grandsons with her Pink Mexican creepers

This one was written 4 years ago. I scrolled down my Facebook's memories, and found this. I and my Mom are partners. 2 days ago, she told me that she saw the white Mexican creepers on the street after I told her several day ago that I had seen white Mexican creepers on a street, but I forgot where. So, Yesterday morning, at 06.00 AM before going to work, I and she went to hunt the white Mexican creeper. I couldn't find the seeds since the flowers were still young, so we pulled the vines, hoping it can grow... Hopefully it can grow... 

This picture was taken a month ago, when my sister and her children were about to leave for Bekasi after Eid Holiday.

Resepsi dan Rapat

Jagung rebus pagi,pagi... yummm....

Sore ini, di group WA temen temen sekelas sekolah (ehm, sebenarnya, saya dan 2 nenek2 lain boleh dibilang intruder siiih...secara kita cuma kursus bareng aje dengan teman2 yg beneran lagi sekolah), rame membicarakan edaran Pak MenPAN) tentang resepsi atau syukuran "penyelenggara" negara yang membatasi undangan 400 orang dan yg hadir ga boleh lebih dari 1.000 orang.

Saya bayangkan orang orang dinas budpar garuk garuk kepala... antara hepii dan bingung. Hepi karena ga usah repot nyiapin undangan dan hidangan buat ribuan orang, dan bingung gimana caranya membendung ribuan orang yang datang tapi acara kebudayaannya sukses...hihihi

Paradox Kebun, Sapi dan Kandang

Ga nemu gambar sapi, nemunya gambar 2 krucil belum mandi ini

Hari Sabtu sore, masih dengan kondisi badan pegel pegel setelah sepagian nyuci baju kotor oleh oleh dinas luar (jiaaah...tumben bisa dinas luar daerah, hihihi), saya di-sms teman yang galau karena hari itu ada pengukuran tanah kavling oleh BPN sementara dia sedang di Jakarta. Karena tanah yg diukur cuma 4 kaplingan, dimana kaplingan teman ini yg paling luas, sementara yg nomor 2 paling luas punya kakanya, yg nomor 3 punya mantan bos yg di jakarta, akhirnya saya selaku orang keempat yang diutus untuk nunjukin batas batasnya, meskipun tanah saya yg paling imut di hamparan itu (tambah imut karena terjadi pengetatan ukuran akibat dikurangi ukurannya oleh pihak pihak yang ah..sudahlah...*niru gaya comic stand up commedy... Lha... apa hubungannya dengan sapi?

A very Friendly Face

Postingan di FB setahun lalu

Jadi... critanya, saat ada meneer yg datang ke kantor nyari saya, saya sedang rapat kantor di ruang rapat yg adanya di panggung. Saat itu, staf saya semata wayang baru kembali dari mengantar surat, dan ia pun langsung dilayani staf saya ini. Kepada Risnawati, staf saya ini, si meneer bilang dg bahasa gado2 inggris indonesia "Last year, when I came to this office, I met a lady who studied in Holland. She had a very friendly face, I forget her name..."
