my wingman

kalo di film action, wingman sangat ketebak pas tokoh utama udah mpot-mpotan ngelawan musuhnya
terus hadir pada situasi di-corner-kan oleh musuh, helpless
dan taunya ada si wingman guy ini yang saving the day
persis mas dom toretto & brian o'conner (mentang-mentang baru nonton)

bisa dibilang, from the day 1 i settled my heart untuk erwin (jiyehhh)
gue sudah melakukan kalkulasi super fantastis mengenai dia dan segala seseuatunya
yang menghasilkan statement:
he's going to be a good wingman for me

in reality?
being the bread winner dan lokomotif buat gue, arka & kinan. he's best
being a best friend for me. he's excellent
being a proud member of the extended family. he's great
being a helpful hand for me dealing with kids. he sucked

makanya gue salut banget sama bapak-bapak yang bisa dengan tenang ditinggal berdua sama batita nya
as for us: it might only happen 5 years from today
right now? here's what happen

task 01
ditinggal mandi sama arka berdua di kamar tidur
5 minutes later, mereka berdua ngendon di dalem kamar mandi
nungguin gue selesai mandi

task 02
menjadi bapak asi untuk kinan
after midnite, the big guy was sleep-fainted (tidur seperti pingsan-if such word exist)

task 03
diminta tolong bersihin arka abis pup
"aku ngga bisa"
then he walked out of the room

suckerrr
meskipun kedengeran klise, but i'm really okay with that
dari perobrolan, it's so obvious that he's not a ronald mcDonald kind of father
dan gue yang dominant freak pun akhirnya mengambil seluruh porsi printal printil yang berhubungan dengan anak

for the bigger stuff kaya: milih sekolah, pola asuh, disiplin, of course he's there and make the call
tapi bangsanya: puk-puk sebelum tidur, making funny faces with kinan, suapin arka makan
he's there beside us, watching.

as i'd never want anyone to push me, i don't want to push him into something he opposes
why hoping a ronald mcdonald if he doesnt even like red-white stripes and yellow?

ke-makluman gue sama hal ini dibayar kontan sih
seperti halnya dia yang selalu maklum dengan sajian tumis-tumisan for dinner (karena gue cuma bisa masak itu)

i'm fine with his habit yang kalo udah suka suatu barang, bisa punya 2-3 biji sekaligus
seperti halnya dia yang nunggu dengan diam (diam dengan tulus)
if i took some 3,5 hours (in dog years) just to match my outfit and the hijab before we go out

marriage and building a family, adalah ngga beda sama main olahraga ganda campuran
dua-dua musti saling bisa baca pasangannya dan pinter-pinter menempatkan posisi
it took a lot of practise, tapi ngga mustahil
dua-duanya put all their best quality, kerahkan seluruh effort and fight for the same objective

sepanjang idup gue nonton bulutangkis ganda campuran,
ngga ada kan yang ngomong mulu:
"oy, lo maju! gue yang ambil di belakang" atau
"yang ini gue yang smes, lo di pojok kanan in case lawan smes balik"
nop

they just do it, covering up for the wingman(woman)
put all the best effort on the table
and win

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...
