The cake-less birthday

last monday was actually the best time to shout:
happy birthday kinan!
hahaha, tapi apa daya... meeting held me up all day,
i've planned everything, so we can have a candle blowing moment,
a 10 minutes show i could steal for my family,
dimana? di kampus. right before the class started.
with the birthday girl, with 4 of us singing happy birthday.
with all the things running that day, that's my best offer.

deep in my heart, sedih ya.
anaknya ulangtaun, i didn't even have the chance to buy her a cake.
tsk. BUT,
kita emang udah commit untuk gak terlalu membesar-besarkan ulang tahun,
in the sense that no regular parties, or goodie bags, or else.
i tried not to feel terlalu gimana gimana, knowing i didn't prepare any cake.
at the end, erw asked me to skipped class, just to hung around at home.
oh i swear it was so relaxing!!!
just to watch my two kids giggling around before bed.

just as me and erw arrived at mom's, we set the candle,
sing the happy birthday song, and have the girl blow the candle.
the cake? sadly, there wasn't any.
but kinan's pretty happy blowing the candle, over and over again.

happy birthday sugar,
everything has been wonderful, brighter, shinier, happier since you were here.
now you're talking non stop, asking a lot, a lot and a lot of questions,
still, you. will always be one of the best thing that happens to us,
it's been a pleasure to be your host, let's explore, let's get to know the world a little more.

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 ...

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...
