over heels

senin kemarin, ada meeting ke kantor klien.
karena agenda nya adalah in depth interview with board of director, i gotta look flashy supaya ngga dikira OB

setelah rutinitas semedi depan lemari, terpilihlah cropped pants, kemeja dan kerudung nya.
instead of the regular flats, i gotta impress the client with high heels dong ya...
lalu segera bbm si nenox adikku manis untuk pinjem sepatunya, yang kira-kira matching sama outfit hari itu

a huge blessing that we have the same shoe number *lalala*
terpilihlah si wedges keren baru milik nenox, 9 cm tall
tentu saja, i jittered a bit karna sudah lama sekali tak ber-high heels
rada keder yaaa berada 9 cm lebih tinggi dari biasanya

the meeting was a-ok
then i had lunch with a good friend
sambil ngobrol-ngobrol, jalan lah kita sampai di pelataran tempat makan, i stopped
itu semen pelataran lagi pada dibongkar!
batu-batu kerikil tajem dimana-mana, gundukan semen, mamang-mamang
heuuu...
demi dikata fasih jalan diatas 9 cm heels, jalan timik-timik lah gue. dan selamat sampai tujuan!!!

then on the way back, kembalilah gue jalan timik-timik sambil bawa tas & gembolan bahan meeting
dan 3 langkah sebelum sampai diluar pelataran terjadilah kecengklak itu
seperti yang sering gue bilang: sakitnya sih ngga seberapa... MALUNYAAA itu
dan seperti adegan klise sinetron, ada aja mamang-mamang ngomong "ati-ati neng"
grrrkkk... pingin aku jejelin pakek ulekan

after 2 days, efeknya mulai berasa. uhuk, tampaknya pergelangan kaki terkilir
tapi gakpapa... yang penting aku keyen kemaren hohoho
kadang-kadang manusia emang suka maksa ya... kadang-kadang juga demi sesuatu
it's a bit silly sih in my case: demi dikata fasih pake high heels
mustinya nggausah sok-sok an pencitraan yah neik...

anyway yuk makan siang dulu!
this time i'll be barefoot, on mom's dining table, with my son :)

A decade from today

so we're probably familiar about how much technology change us, iyadong, sampe ada games tumpuk henfon di meja. you know, kalo kita lagi makan rame-rame, or if it's just me and erw, this is what we do. we stack our phones, facing down, on the table, no one's able to touch it. tarohannya gak bayarin makan sih, karena mostly he paid the bill hahaha. tarohannya pijetin punggung sampe ketiduran! and i'd have to say... it's pretty effective!!! hahaha. tadinya kan tuan besar cuma nontonin gue mainan ayfon, since he has his own android, we become those rude people on the dining table. not a good example, per say. jangan dicontoh, ditiru atau digugu. but not anymore, now we're more civilized, alhamdulilah yaaa... we talk more, we enjoy our dinner more, apalagi kalo home made, dan anak anak udah bobo, wuidiii tenang banget makan berdua tanpa harus nyuapin siapapun, kecuali saling nyuapin, nostalgia pas akad nikah dulu. ihihihik... i can't help to ...

since this is the last month of the year, sah ya kalo gue mentasbihkan beberapa episod the hardest days of the year. the past 2 weeks officially killed me. selain to do list yang super bejibun, anak anakpuns sempet pada sakit. chunk terbesar sih adanya di ujian mata kuliah yang satu "itu-tuuuh", sampe males nyebut namanya. i've been literally busting my ass, preparing for the final exam. the sequences includes 3 sessions of heavy discussion with the experts, 1 session of belajar belajar lucu sama cewek cewek *muahhh*, and many many nights of studying individually. i don't sleep before 1 am, and always gets up at 5 am. i didn't take any extra rest, as i prefer to spend the time to study on weekends. persiapannya ultimate gitu, ujiannya sukses dong? tidaks. hahaha... malah ditengah tengah ujian, maag gue kambuh. perut sakittt kaya kembung, i didn't know what to do. but i was not sorry. gue udah mendictate diri gue sendiri, that any result i...

The bitter-sweet finish line

this is a tale, about the day my sun got stolen, probably one of the darkest, most confusing, mixed feeling, and traumatic day i had. the day of my post-grad comprehension exam. *background sontrek horor*. hahaha. lebaiyatun is in the house yaaa. karna udah banyak kok orang yang udah lulus postgrad, malahan banyak yang ujiannya dalam basa inggris...   if they can do it, i can too! having those mentality, works like magic, for about a week before the D-Day, those prep days. emang si kadang kadang melempem, tapi ahirnya di Hari H, gue merasa cukup bekal lah. di depan ruangan sidang, petugas admin dateng siap siapin ruangan, kita nanya: pengujinya siapa? karna ngga dikasi tau samsek sebelumnya, penguji kita siapa. bu admin menjawab: bu X. yang mana adalah dosen corporate finance, dimanaaa... gue paling nggak bisa pelajaran itu. flashback sejenak kesini  sama kesini . cukup bukti kan, bahwa gue pa-ling-ngga-su-ka-pe-la-ja-ran-i-ni-ti-tik!!! dan ketika dapet dosen pe...
