Ngariung Barudak EL07

Ngumpul bareng beberapa anak-anak elektro 07 yang sedang di Bandung rabu lalu di Warung Om Duleh. 

Setelah berpisah dijalur perjuangan masing-masing, ngumpul bareng jadi momen langka yang menyenangkan.

Semoga sukses untuk kita semua ya! :)

Light Stalker

Light Stalker, arti harfiahnya kira-kira penguntit cahaya. Sebenarnya saya merasa judulnya tidak terlalu klik sama fotonya, tapi karena tidak menemukan judul yang lebih tepat sampai sekarang , akhirnya tetap make yang satu itu. Sempat terpikir judul "Menyongsong Matahari", tapi setelah diucapkan berkali-kali malah terdengar seperti "Mengejar Matahari"(atau memang idenya dari sana).

Foto ini saya ambil di Bandara Hang Nadim, Batam, dalam perjalanan saya kembali ke Bandung, penerbangan pagi. Padahal sudah jam setengah jam tujuh-an, tapi matahari masih kuning seperti ini. Jobseeker lucky, maybe. *plis fa*. Waktu itu, si anak kecil difoto terus-terusan melihat keluar jendela dari ruang tunggu. Menunggu pesawat segera membawanya pergi. Dan mata si saya tidak bisa lepas dari momen itu. 

Saya mencari korelasi antara Anak kecil , matahari pagi, dan penerbangan.Ga nemu-nemu.

Sekarang setelah melihat lagi fotonya, saya pikir ada sedikit sensasi harapan pada momen itu..Anak kecil dan matahari pagi, sama-sama baru memulai.Sama-sama masih memiliki jutaan kesempatan dan kemungkinan didepan. 

Dan karena manusia dari berbagai peradaban sudah sepakat menggunakan cahaya untuk metamorfosa harapan,Jeng Jeng Jeng,

Lahirlah Light Stalker.Maksa memang, maafkan.

Lalu, setelah dipikir-pikir lagi, ada korelasi yang lebih kuat lagi antara momen itu dengan saya sendiri.Karena itulah cara saya menghabiskan waktu belakangan, mencari-cari harapan,kesempatan, peluang. Well, people do it all lifetime. Tapi status jobseeker membuat saya melakukannya secara lebih gencar belakangan, dan bukan sekedar kontemplasi iseng lagi. he he.

Hope i will turn into Light rider soon!amin. :)

Morning Tea

Like a morning tea.

Not as strong as coffee to drive us to faked energy, but enough, to encourage us through the day.

Leave warmth feel all day long.

Pure, honest, simple.

My dear, I'm into you that way.

Get it?

Nah

Pernyataan pertama,

Hanya orang-orang sombong yang bisa mengenali orang-orang sombong disekelilingnya

Pernyataan kedua 

Saya dapat mengenali kadar dan jenis kesombongan seseorang dalam beberapa kali saya berinteraksi dengan seseorang.

Yang melahirkan kesimpulan,

Saya hanya satu dari sekian banyak orang-orang sombong yang ada.

And I'am not proud of it.

Ruin Diet in Sugarrush

"Eats Meet Sweets".

This Tagline is written down in one wallside of Sugarrush Cafe . Obviously,  you have to think twice before go here if you work hard with you diet. Because most of menu offered here is contain so so soooo much sugar.Or else, Fat. Appearantly could lead you to Sugar rush. Like these manggo cheese cake and almond coffe I ordered. Eat today, Diet Tomorrow.Hihihi. :D

 

Sugarrush located on Braga Street 83, beside Camal Store. First thing I noticed was the unique interior decoration. They even decorated the rest room, haha. Second, the waitress, all warm! And then, ultimately, the Food.:D 

 

 

My favorite spot is front table near to rectangular window, where we could look out to the street. Lucky you, if you get that table in rainy time. Totally romantic, and classic. Felt like you trapped somewhen in the past. :). But since this place get so many fans in short time, maybe you will have to be in waiting list for a moment before you get table especially in weekend.

Broke your diet once, this really worth a try, believeeee me

Live your life

Seorang teman bercerita pada sesi dinner-bareng iseng disuatu malam minggu lalu tentang bagaimana dia baru merasakan cara "berkeluarga" didalam keluargnya setelah dia lulus kuliah.Bagaimana berperan sebagai kakak, sebagai anak lelaki dewasa, dan semacamnya. Bapak kandungnya meninggal waktu dia masih bayi, si ibunya menikah lagi dengan seorang bapak yang dia definisikan " sangat bertanggung jawab secara finansial, tetapi tidak bagus dalam hal komunikasi", lalu masa kecilnya dihabiskan bersama sang nenek dikampung. Tinggal dirumah bersama ibu-ayah dengan interaksi alakadarnya selama smp-sma, lalu ketika kuliah sebagian besar waktunya dihabiskan dikampus, lab, atau nomaden dari satu kosan teman ke kosan teman lain.Kadang-kadang dia menyewa kamar kost.Sesekali pulang setor muka, padahal jarak rumahnya dan kampus hanya 15 menit. Dia hanya tahu apa itu interaksi keluarga dan peran sebagai anggota keluarga itu dari cerita teman-teman,observasi lingkungan sekitar, atau dari film. Barulah setelah lulus kuliah, dia baru mulai merasakan peran sebagai anggota keluarga, dalam konteks tanggung jawab. Hampir 5 tahun saya mengenalnya dan ini pertama kalinya dia bercerita selengkap itu.

---

I am not good with main point.haha.Karenanya maafkan kalau si saya terlihat sering bertele-tele dalam kalimat-kalimat saya .

Pelajaran pertama saya saat itu adalah tentang belajar memahami realita-realita yang terjadi dalam kehidupan kita. Banyak sekali hal yang tidak berjalan seperti apa yang kita inginkan.Klasik. Dan pelajaran kedua, adalah tentang belajar mencintai proses kehidupan.Hal-hal baik, hal-hal buruk, yang mengantarkan kita pada tempat kita masing-masing saat ini. Dan dalam kedua hal ini, teman saya tadi adalah salah satu contoh yang baik yang nampak dalam kehidupan nyata saya.

Si teman saya dengan segala keadaannya, mungkin dari satu sudut pandang dibilang "tidak normal.Tapi dia masih bisa menyelesaikan kuliah tanpa sedikitpun pemasukan dari orang tua.Ada tulisan cum laude di ijazahnya. Dia menjadi teman yang menyenangkan, partner kerja yang baik.Calon dosen cemerlang masa depan". Dia memilih tetap mencintai dan menghargai hidupnya apa adanya, menjalankan hidup dengan sebaik-baiknya.

 
Pelajaran dari pelajarannya, adalah tentang tidak membiarkan keadaan dan realita menghambat kita melakukan hal-hal baik, mencapai yang terbaik yang bisa kita capai.
Not an easy thing to do, but worth a try.

Bingkai

Kadang kita terlalu terpaku memandang pada satu bingkai hingga kita lupa bahwa ada banyak sisi lain yang belum kita lihat. Lupa bahwa ada begitu banyak hal yang tidak kalah menakjubkan menunggu kita di tempat-tempat lain.

Hingga kita usang, hingga kita pudar, lalu terlalu lelah untuk berpindah.

Beautiful flower

'Cause you're beautiful like a flower  

More valuable than a diamond  

You are powerful like a fire 

You can heal the world with your mind
 

There is nothing in the world that you cannot do 

When you believe in you, who are beautiful 

Yeah you, who are brilliant 

Yeah you, who are powerful  

Yeah you, who are resilient

Nature-way of communication

Communication is about connecting two or more people in order to get each other understanding.Somebody transmites signals to others,another side  receives and then process those signals, process it, make an interference, and send back appropriate responses.This sign can be transferred much ways : voice, script, image. Communication is basic need of human, since the day of yore, people exploring new method, new way to make communication easier.And thanks to technology, boundaries no longer be a problem to conduct communication.Although, we've never done it, talk to people in moon isn't something strange idea for us.We know that people do it.

But then even though human invant such geourgous modern inovative communication tools, why on earth it's look like we have much communication problem than our forebear had been experiencing?

I use to taught that everymatter in our world come from unbalancing.That the best way to do something is nature-way. The other, are aid tool.

Our nature-way to communication, is face-to-face communication.But since there were so many innovation human made in order to make communication, we forgot our basic nature-way, things that have been teached from generation to generation.We use the tools intensely.We forgot the essences.When problem with communication come up, we don't know, we found it so hard to solved.Here comes the generation who avoid oral-direct communication.
 

I guess "back to nature" have many ways to interpreted.

Unfortanately, this principal of him made him assacinated by a fanatic hindus who thought he stood at muslim side in indian-muslim conflict that occurred  in the pakistan-indian border area.

For highlight, he wasn’t a theorotical , but pragmatism person. He was practicing his principle in real time which inspire much people to do the same as his.
