Stalking Comprehension : Agustus 2012

WATERBOOM OWNED...!!!

Yesterday, August 30th, 2012, my fellow students in high school and I had a very great time. We went to Waterboom to get "wet". here are some amateur shots.

There's a saying, "You are what you repeatedly do.". I reckon this saying is right. It depends on us to be who we are. It could be seen from what we usually do. So we should make sure that we do things righteously to live our lives and to make our dreams come true.

Not so long time ago, my fellow students in English Department and I held a second fun and insane trip to Batakan beach. We had more crew at this time than the first one.
Here are some "jaw-dropping" shots.

Boredom

23.06 | Label: ED '10

Somehow having too long holiday is way boring. No productive activity, no useful work, no laughter with my fellow students, no lecture from my lovely lecturers. However, it's end by this Monday....
I love Monday.......

God Knows What We Don't

21.34 | Label: family, human, memory, sadness

Moslem greatest celebration ,Eidul Fitri holiday is over. People get back to their daily activity. They just get back from what Indonesian call, "Mudik". Mudik is like, leaving your "job-town" and go back to place where you belong, Hometown. Indonesian usually go to their hometowns to celebrate Eidul Fitri there. It's always great to celebrate a very special day  with our family and relatives in our hometowns.. 

I also did Mudik this year. I celebrated Eidul Fitri with my relatives in my hometown, Kandangan, HSS.However, I've got something missing when I do mudik. What makes people who do mudik really want to go home is they miss their parents or grandparents.The sad fact, my grandparents already passed away. My grandpa died long time ago, even I hadn't been born at that time. While my grandma died two years after my birth, what a two-year baby could remember, huh? He didn't even know who he was.

Yeah, I do envy everyone who still can have a chitchat with their grandparents.People take a lesson about old life, learn some classic and traditional recipe, and are told about Dutch and Japan occupation in Indonesia from their grandparents. I am really craving for those kind of old things..!!! 

 What can I do? This is God's will.What God has done is sure the best for me. Though sometimes I feel sad  with that fact even some tears cross over my cheek, I know that God knows more even best. Being grateful for what I have is much better than regretting my life. I am sure that I am luckier than some other people out there.

"Count your blessings, not your problem."

Somebody That I Used to Know - Gotye ft. Kimbra

22.18 | Label: melow, memory

Now and then I think of when we were together

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die

I told myself that you were right for me

But felt so lonely in your company

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kinda sadness

Like resignation to the end, always the end

So when we found that we could not make sense

Well you said that we would still be friends

But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off

Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing

I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger And that feels so rough
No, you didn't have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records And then change your number

Guess that I don't need that though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done

But I don't wanna live that way

Reading into every word you say

You said that you could let it go

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know-oh-oh
But you didn't have cut me off

Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing

(oh) I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
(oh) No, you didn't have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect you records And then change your number

(oh) Guess that I don't need that though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Somebody that I used to know

Somebody (now your just somebody that I used to know) That I used to know

Somebody that I used to know Somebody (somebody)

(now your just somebody that I used to know) That I used to know
I used to know That I used to know I used to know Somebody

You should listen to this heart-calming song..!!!

What's app dude????

Akhir2 ini saya dan teman kelas saya semasa SMA lagi punya mainan baru, yaitu Whatsapp. Whatsapp ini adalah software untuk chatting, mirip seperti Blackberry Messenger. Hanya bedanya Whatsapp ini bisa digunakan di hampir semua jenis ponsel. Di Whatsapp ini juga bisa ngobrol lewat group sepertio di BBM.

Di whatsapp kami membahas segala hal yang menurut kami pantas untuk dibahas di depan orang lain. Mulai dari mulai cerita lucu dan unik semasa SMA, sampai hal2 ga penting yg tau2 jadi bahan pembicaraan.

Kebersamaan kami terasa dekat kembali setelah dua tahun lebih lulus dari SMA dan terpisah karena urusan kami masing2. Nostalgia tentang kejadian2 yg kami alami semasa SMA menjadi topik yg selalu hangat kami bahas di Whatsapp. Kadang lucu, kadang geli, kadang jijik, kadang malu, kadang senyum2 sendiri kalo ingat kenangan di masa SMA. Ga salah memang kalo ada yg bilang masa SMA adalah masa yg paling indah.

Tapi kemaren ada sesuatu agak yg aneh dengan whatsapp ini, ternyata selain bisa mendekatkan dgn teman2 kita, whatsapp juga bisa membuat kita semakin jauh. Kami mulai melibatkan emosi yang terlalu dalam dalam obrolan kami, sehingga obrolannya sepertinya terlalu emosional. Padahal awalnya group ini hanya untuk having fun dan menjalin silaturrahmi sesama anak Sodikin. Mungkin ada beberapa obrolan dari sebagian anggota group yg menurut anggota group lain kurang pantas bahkan menjurus kasar dan melecehkan. Sampai pada akhirnya momentnya berubah, yg awalnya untuk bersenang2 malah jadi moment yg kurang mengenakkan.

Entah ini cobaan untuk persahabatan atau apalah saya tidak tau, mungkin kedewasaan kami lagi menemui tempat bermainnya. Kedewasaan kami disini dituntut untuk menyelesaikan ini semua. Akhirnya saya berkesimpulan bahwa hati, rasa, pikiran, selera, apapun label abstrak yg melekat pada setiap manusia itu berbeda2, kita harus hargai itu..!!!

kutipan dari Chef Marinka yg saya ambil dari twitternya :

"Good jokes. everyone laughs. not some laugh while some hurt."

TRUE STORY (UNCENSORED)

09.34 | Label: humor, memory, sodikin

Kemaren, 23/8/2012, Saya dan Teman saya Angga yang tidak ingin saya sebutkan namanya, pergi ke suatu tempat yang agak tertutup . BUKAN..!! kami bukan lagi kencan..!! kami sedang berada di suatu keadaan dimana kami harus melakukan hal yang kami lakukan kemaren. Kami mendatangi Studio 23 Digtal Labz (tiiiit.... sensor) di Jl. Kemuning Banjarbaru. Keperluan kami adalah untuk meminta soft copy film kenang2an Sodikin (Nama kelas kami waktu SMA). Hal ini dikarenakan semua DVD yang kami punya sudah tidak berfungsi sebagai mana mestinya. Hal ini juga tidak lepas dari desakan semua Sodikiners a.k.a anak2 sodikin yang sangat ingin untuk menonton film itu kembali dan kalau keinginan mereka tidak dituruti, mereka akan melaporkan kami ke KPK..!!

Saat kami disana, kami disambut oleh mas2 yang kalo diliat2 masnya ini cowok. Dia pun bertanaya, "ada yg bisa dibanting?? eh, dibantuu??". Kami pun menjelaskan keperluan kami yang sebenarnya dengan bahasa yang sopan dan ejaan yang disempurnakan. Disini kami dapat kabar yang membuat kami kaget bahkan hampir pingsan..!! ternyata masnya memang cowok...!! eeh, bukan..!! soft copy film yang sangat kami butuhkan tidak ada..!! kata masnya Semua arsip film dibawa sesosok pria bernama Bayu ke Jakarta..!! Dan dia menetap disana dan jarang kembali ke Banjarabaru. Kami pun mulai gelisah namun tidak mendesah. Si Mas Bayu ini bukan sosok asing di mata kami, dia sering gelantungan di mata kami sehabis kami bangun tidur.. *tai mata kalee*. Mas Bayu ini adalah kameramen yg ngshoot film kami "The Kamfrets".

Akhirnya si Angga berinisiatif untuk meminta No hp si Mas Bayu kepada si mas2 tadi yg entah siapa namanya. Angga pun mencoba untuk menelpon Mas Bayu, dan No nya tidak aktif...!!! kami Kami pun shocked dan pergi ke pijat reflexi untung menenangkan diri sejenak. Lalu kami pun berusaha untuk mencari tau segala informasi tentang Mas Bayu, mulai dari menyimpan alamat email dan pin BBnya yg kami dapati di contoh album yg ada di studio 23 , sampai kami stalking timelinenya Mas Bayu di Twitter, (Okey, yg ini terlalu berlebihan).

Akhirnya kami bisa terhubung dengan Mas Bayu. Kami pun mengutarakan keinginan kami yg sebenarnya, lagi2 dengan bahasa yang sopan dan ejaan yang disempurnakan. Mas Bayu merespon dengan baik dan bersedia untuk memberikan soft copy film kami. Namun tentu hal itu butuh proses. Mas Bayu akan mengirimkan soft copy film kami, namun kami tidak tau lewat apa nanti dia akan mengirimnya. Kita tunggu saja kabar selanjutnya dari Mas Bayu dan semoga kita bisa menonton kembali film kenang2an kita sebagai pemersatu hubungan kita anak2 Sodikin yang sudah sekian lama terjalin.

Komentar di blog saya terhapus.....!!!!!! nasib anak baru kali yaaaa... :( maaf buat yang sudah ngasih komen tapi komennya kehapus...

Sederhana Namun Berarti

16.37 | Label: human

Kemaren saya dan paman saya (sepupu ibu saya) pergi ke bandara Syamsudinoor untuk menjemput kaka dari paman saya yg datang dari Jakarta dan akan berlebaran di kampung Halaman. Kami menunggu sekitar 30 menit, dan kaka paman saya, yang biasa saya panggil Acil* mimah, suaminya dan kedua anaknya yang masih kecil keluar dari pintu kedatangan. Sekitika paman saya bersalaman dan mencium tangan Acil Mimah. Sayapun juga melakukan hal yang sama.

Dulu ketika waktu masih kecil, saya biasa memanggil paman saya yang umurnya tidak terpisah terlalu jauh dengan saya ini dengan sebutan Paman Taha atau Man Taha. Tapi sekarang ketika saya mulai beranjak dewasa, saya tidak memanggilnya dengan Paman Taha lagi, tapi hanya memanggil namanya, TAHA. Sesuatu telah berubah disini, tapi saya belum tahu pasti apa.

Pikiran saya terpanggil ke kejadian dimana Taha mencium tangan Acil Mimah ketika di bandara. Walaupun Taha sudah sangat dewasa dan umurnya juga tidak terpisah terlalu jauh dengan Acil Mimah, ia melakukan hal yang keliatannya sangat sederhana tapi penuh makna dan sangat berharga. Dulu saya juga seperti itu, ketika bertemu dengan orang yang lebih tua saya bersalaman dengan mencium tangan mereka. Tapi seiring berjalannya waktu, semakin beranjak dewasa, saya hanya melakukan hal tersebut kepada orang-orang tertentu saja.

Ada satu benang merah yang dapat saya tarik disini, manusia akan terus tumbuh dan berkembang, namun ada menurut saya hal-hal yang sebaiknya selalu seperti itu, tidak perlu berkembang. Salah satunya adalah RASA HORMAT. Rasa Hormat sebaiknya selalu dijaga, kapanpun dan dimanapun, tidak peduli seberapa jauh dan besar kamu tumbuh dan berkembang. HORMATILAH siapapun, kalaupun kita tidak bisa menghormati semua orang, hormatilah mereka yang pantas anda hormati.

"No matter how much you grow, always respect everyone. Especially your family"

*Acil : Panggilan untuk tante atau bibi dalam bahasa Banjar.

Smart Way of Laughing

14.48 | Label: humor

Recently I am amused by a witty way of humor, Stand up Comedy. Comics -people who do stand up comedy- entertains audience in intelligent way. They are standing alone in front of audience with their smart jokes and unique acting. However not all comics are smart, their jokes are stupid and offensive instead, since a good joke make everyone laugh, not some laugh and some hurt.

There are two Indonesian comics who amaze me by their smart and unthinkable jokes.

Proudly present....

Abdel Achrian (@abdelachrian)

Cak Lontong (@C_Lontong)

They are truly smart and humorous.

Here one of their remarkable jokes.

ABDEL

*Gue penasaran dgn homo, akhirnya gue tanya temen gue, MONGOL."

abdel : "ngol, ciri2 orang homo apa sih?"

mongol : "homo tu ga ada ciri2nya del, lo liat orang kaya homo, padahal bukan, cowonya doang yg homo."

abdel : "trus gimana dong kalo gue pengen tau??"

mongol : "susah.. susah.. lo mesti nyelemin.."

abdel : *lo homo apa sungai, pakai nyelemin segala*.. tapi ada ga ciri2nya??"

mongol: "ada, lo kalo liat cowo punya anting di kanan, itu homo tulen.."

abdel: *gue liat mongol, punya anting di kiri, gue tanya mongol*.. "waaah, berarti lo ga homo dong ngol??"

mongol : "SORRY SOB, GUE HOMO, TAPI KIDAL...!!"

CAK LONTONG
"Orang ketika emosi, biasanya detak jantungnya meningkat, itulah mengapa orang ketika emosi mengelus dada, untuk menurunkan detak jantung. Kemaren ada tetangga saya, cewe, berantem, tapi ga ngelus dada, SAYA ELUS... , akhirnya saya ditampar, tapi ga papa, karena prinsip saya, LEBIH BAIK DITAMPAR DARIPADA SURUH BAYAR."

semoga bermanfaat... :)

I was a strongly-desired blogger, I was excited to post some things crossed into my mind. I was avid to be a productive blogger who at least can produce one week one post. Now, i am a lazy bear. I am not productive whatsoever in writing. I've been through pointless things too much. I hope this the restart for me to be productive again in writing.

see you soon.
