Sirkus

Sejak jadi ibu rumah tangga merangkap pengacara (pengangguran buanyaak acara), tontonan TV jadi makanan sehari-hari. Kalo nonton sinetron sih masih agak males ya (masih?brarti dulu kagak males dong ya…ehmmm iya sih,hehehe), jadi pilihannya kebanyakan acara talkshow n errhmm…infotainment dooong. Nah, salah dua (kikikkkk) acara tipi yang ku kagumi (cieeh…) kebetulan 2-2nya ada di Trans tv, Online, tiap senin-jumat jam 13.30 wib ama Ceriwis, tiap sabtu-minggu, jam 09.00 wib.

Nah, gara-gara nonton Ceriwis di Trans TV yang edisi tgl 2 Mei 2010, jadi pengen buangeedd nonton sirkus nih. Tapi masak musti ke Jakarta sih?mahalan di tiket pesawat dong ya…

Kalo diraba, dibaca, n ditrawang (yup, kayak ngecek uang palsu gitu), sbenernya aku bukannya pengen bangeettt ngeliat atraksi-atraksi sirkus. Secara seumur idup mungkin udah beberapa kali ngeliat sirkus dan antara sirkus satu yang aku tonton ke sirkus berikutnya berjarak taon-an n perkembangan gerakannya ga begitu banyak, ampir sama, cuman ditambahin dikit n kostum lebih yahud pastinya. Belom lagi waktu skul di Beijing, udah beberapa kali nonton yang oriental acrobatic n bener-bener keren atraksinya.

Jadi,knapa pengen nonton sirkus lagi,buw?

Setelah aku inget-inget,kayaknya dari pertama kali aku nonton sirkus, waktu masih imut skitar usia TK gitu sampe terakhir kali nonton sirkus skitar waktu kuliah gitu, semuanya dibarengin ama engkong tercintaaahhh.

Waktu masih TK, inget banget, waktu itu di Malang, circus was in town, kayaknya dulu diadain di jalan Ijen deket museum. Yang paling aku inget, tendanya gede banget warna orange agak butek gitu. Trus engkong ngegandeng tanganku masuk, n karna aku ternganga ngeliat tendanya yang bagi aku gueeedeee banget,  terinjak lah bekas permen karet di tanah. Terpaksa ayi yang waktu itu masih SMA yang bantuin ngebersiin bekas permen karet itu. Hihi…sweet memory (for me, not for my ayi…kkkk…)…

Yang ke-2 nonton sirkus bareng engkong waktu aku smp, di Jember, waktu itu sirkus ada di alun-alun kota. Ada binatang-binatangnya macem-macem, termasuk beberapa pasang beruang madu. Waktu atraksi beruang madu ini, kayaknya something familiar happened in front of my eyes. Ahaa!!! Aku nyeletuk gini ke si engkong,”Kong, beruangnya cara jalannya kayak si A**p ya?”. Si A**p ini  sohibnya engkong, sengaja aku sensor, sapa tau ntar dia baca blogku, kong A**p, I’m so sorry yaa…hihihih. Trus si engkong ngakak sambil bilang,”Wah, yang tua nahan ketawa n ga brani bilang, yang mudaan yang ngomong”. Langsung kita smua ngakak waktu itu, ada mom, adek gw, n ayi lagi (ayi yang satunya, bukan yang bersiin permen karet hehehehe)…

Yang terakhir,liat sirkus, TKP masih di Jember, tapi di lapangan agak ke luar kota. Daerah Sukorejo (masih Jember juga sih). Masih sama engkong juga,adek, n bbrp spupu. Sayangnya yang kali ini aku inget bukan memori ama engkong, tapi waktu udah duduk, yang mana sirkus kan duduknya melingkar ato separo lingkaran, eeehhh, ternyata inceran di skolah juga dateng liat sirkus bareng keluarganya. Tepat duduk di depan ku, cuman dipisahin ama panggung doank…alhasil, slama acara, jadi salting teross menerooosss…

Oiya, diinget-inget lagi, salah satu oriental acrobatic yang aku liat di Beijing juga salah satunya aku liat ama si engkong. Waktu itu engkong n the gank lagi jalan-jalan ke Cina, skalian menengok cucu kesayangannya yang paling imut. Salah satu agenda tournya, nonton acrobatic ini, jadi kecipratan liat juga.

Jadi, menurut loe nonton sirkus = engkong loe?

Yah bukan gitu juga sih secara pastinya, cuman somehow, waktu nonton sirkus bisa bring back some memories of my beloved engkong. Trus juga kalo di sirkus, warna-warni kostum,panggung, suara-suara musik, hewan, MC, smuanya bener-bener amazing, bikin lupa sbentar tentang dunia luar.

Ga semua hal yang berhubungan ama sirkus brings memories of my engkong. Buktinya salah satu my all time fave movies is PERHAPS LOVE. Kalo ini sih soalnya suka banget ama Kaneshiro Takeshi n Zhou Xun. Ceritanya agak nyerempet ke sirkus juga. Buat sinosisnya, liat di sini ya.

Pengen ntar kalo kamera idaman sang dslr udah di tangan, ada kesempatan motoin sirkus jadi obyeknya, pasti bagus banget tuh dapetnya.

Hopefully, someday Cirque du Soleil bisa dateng ke Indonesia. Kita liat, apa memori tentang si engkong tetep sama datengnya…

Kaktus and the new years eve dinner stories…

yihaa…(mentang-mentang lagi ngafe@Black Canyon neh critanya jadi rada terkena atmosphere western2 gitu …)

My hubby n i lagi pake free wifi-nya Black Canyon. Dengan cergasnya dia mendonlot-donlot segala macem jurnal kedokteran, mumpung gretong kan…hihihi…

It’s been a month and 2 days since i set foot here. Kayaknya udah lumayan terbiasa ama ritme kehidupan sini.  Tapi memanggg, masih butuh penyesuaian di sana sini. Ehm, well eniwei, sbenernya mau cerita ttg hal-hal kejadian everyday, my habitual action hahaha. Cuman ada 1 hal yang masih terngiang-ngiang di kepala n mendesak pengen dimunculin di blog (narsis neh critanya…).

Last year, on Dec.31,2009, ceritanya si hubby mau gave me a gift by staying 3days 2 nite @hotel. Katanya, pengen suasana baru aja. So, there we go, bobo @ the hotel yang ternyata packagenya include new years eve gala dinner.

Padahal, that nite kita udah diundang ama keluarga Dion n Lolita buat spent the last nite of 2009 @their lovely house, skalian papi n mami Dion, n juga Eldo the brother dateng dari Jawa. Trus, ada tante n spupu-spupu Dion yang laennya. Yah, pokokna ramee dah.

Berhubung di rumah Dion start jam 8-an,kita dinner dulu@the hotel skitar jam 7-an. Buffet dining, lumayan banyak pilihan buat si manusia roti ini hihi. Dessertnya bener-bener mengundang selera kite. Si hubby sibuk milih main course yang memang jarang-jarang ada di menu sehari-hari kayak roasted turkey, ribs bbq,dll, aku malah melototin aneka pie, pudding, mouse, dll. Hehee, jadinya kalo kita cuman dapet 1 menu yang terdiri dari appetizer, main course, dessert, kita udah pasti ga bakal bertengkar kkkk…

After incip sana sini, kita berdua meluncur ke rumah Dion. Diiringi ujan gerimis rintik-rintik. Bener-bener feel@home di rumah Dion. Ada orang tua n tante Dion, spupu-spupunya, reminded me to my big family back home. Kita mulai acara dengan sharing-sharing semua yang dateng di sana waktu itu. Buat aku, cukup bikin hati ini ceria lagi. Coz denger pengalaman spupu-spupu Dion yang scattered all around the places, cieeh…Jakarta, Pekanbaru, Mojokerto, and Rochester,NY. Gimana yah, as usual fuel up my spirit gitu. That there are lots of people struggle for their life out there. I’m totally not alone.

Thank you for Dion n Lolita for inviting me to the nice n warm new years eve dinner. Nanti foto-fotonya di upload di sini deh…promise ^_*.

Back to the hotel, buat countdown to 2010…

Ada satu percakapan ama si hubby yang bikin aku slalu pengen  slapped me on my own face for being so ignorant. Ceritanya di meja kita  ada sebentuk vas berisi kaktus yang lucu menurutku. Senggolsenggol tangan si hubby,”mau dong bikin ini satu, buat dipelihara dalam rumah”

kaktus-on-the-table-2

Si hubby dengan cool-nya diem aja sambil senyum simpul.

Beberapa hari kemudian, waktu bukain pager buat si hubby berangkat ke r.s,

kaktus-1

Ngekngok

Alamak, kita punya se-pot besar taneman kaktus itu, juga temennya yang jenis ini…

kaktus-on-2

So, hit me please…on the head…

Well, that nite, ini di luar per-kaktus-an, kita ngedapetin grandprize malem itu…tiket pp Garuda, Manado-Jakarta. Thank God for the blessings upon us.

Me, still, still, have a big urge to hit my own head for the ignorance of the cacti…huuuuhh…

What I was doing in my hiatus…(prologue)

Helloww again…

Sori sebelomnya…harusnya kalo sesuai janji, mustinya update ttg apa aja yang aku lakuin selama hiatus. Berhubung ada sesuatu yang musti ditulis n penttinggg (menurut eike) untuk di-share-kan di sini. Jadi, terpaksa di-intermezzo sbentar yaa..

Aku cuman pengen bilang,”do not ever give up hope and faith”. In eniting!. Karna, kalo udah waktunya, pasti dikabulkan sama Yang Di Atas.

Baru-baru ini, ada salah satu “mimpi” ku yang ehm…jadi nyata. Aku tulis mimpinya dalam tanda kutip, coz sbenernya buat aku, mimpi yang ini udah sesuatu yang beyond my reach, ga bisa dicapai (lagi) tanpa adanya miracle. Mimpi yang satu ini, bisa terwujud sebetoelnya, in my younger days, but, because of this and that, it became a bye-bye-til-we-meet-again thing.

Eiiihhh, ternyata Tuhan itu Maha Baik n Maha Mendengar. “Mimpi” ku yang satu ini, yang udah masuk urutan kesekian dalam daftar Things To Do Before Married, ndilalah…dikabulkan. Thank you, God,…for everything…

Dari tadi mimpi ini, mimpi itu, sebenernya, apa sih mimpi loe?

Well, ini ada hubungannya ama jurusan yang aku pilih waktu kuliah dulu. Dapet kesempatan melakuakn apa yang udah didapet waktu kuliah, setelah lama ga bersentuhan ama bidang itu, n ngedapetin kesempatannya di waktu yang ga disangka-sangka, isn’t it greaaattttt?. Again, thank God for the precious chance You gave to me…mau lagi doongg, hihihihi (bletaaakk, kok ada yang nimpuk gue ya???)

Jadi, yup, that was what I did in my hiatus…I went on a tour to Bangkok as the Tour Leader…(hellowww tourism world…apparently, kita masih berjodoh…hehehe)

I’ve just come to a conclusion that the day, not the “w” day,it’s the engangement day. It has come closer, closer…

Kerasanya gini, this evening, around 3 o’clock p.m. I chatted with him.  It’ s different from our yesterday’s chattings. It was  about buying the airtickets. Airtickets for his family.also for himself. Which flight should he take and which time should he booked the tickets for the families members who will come to our engagement (which only a month and several days ahead…help help…)

Today, our discussion involved the vendors also.  Mostly I did the telephones and texting them.  Well, the end of the chatting thingy which was around 5 o’clock in the evening, we have made several appointments with the vendors. Starting from 1st August 2009 till almost the end of August 2009, there will be hard to find times to meet me (vendors, suppliers, please note this kkkkk…).

I never imagined that conducting an engagement and a wedding party from two places distracted by mountains and seas (Manado and Malang, Jember eventually after June 2009) will be this hard. Not easy, but yup, we’re survived. Please help us in prays.

And I think I should wrote all of the engagement I’ve made,so that I won’t miss some things.

Meanwhile, I have not packing all of my stuff since I have to move out from Malang base to Jember in the early of July, 2009. H-E-L-P!!!
p.s:do you guys notice that I use “I” to mention myself and will use “thequeenherself” or just simply “queen” in a quite relaxing moments. Which one do you like best?

what i’ve done in my long weekend

Ehm..hmhmm…i think i did not blink for almost a minute (ehm ehm…)after realizing, well, not realizing actually, but watching the real thing that i did not update my weblog till my weekly twitter update were popped out back to back…sorryyy guys…

Lot of things has happened from the last time I updated. Still fresh in my memory was that I picked him at Juanda Airport (thank God for Sriwijaya has a promo direct flight from Surabaya to Manado v.v…still cheap compare to other airlines ^^). Then, we went to Jember to gather with other family preparing the next day’s journey to Pasir Putih, Situbondo. Well, it’s Ceng Beng, it’s a hokkien dialect for Qing Ming (the real meaning is Clear Bright Festival or Tomb Sweeping Day). Since my grandparents (from my mom’s side) were cremated and the ashes has been spread along the Pasir Putih beach, Situbondo, my mom’s siblings went to there together to “visit” them.

tabur bunga

one of the activity at the sea...fyi, that's my hands in white sweater...

This year was the second time we “visited” them. I think this time required bigger sacrifice than the last year. We finally got the boats at 12 o’clock sharp!!!!(welcome to premature aging, considering how vast the area for the sun exposure )…

thank God we all (especially the woman) had this

thank God we all (especially the woman) had this

Actually, anything related to the sun exposure was not really good for my condition that time, I had a dermatologic problem at that time and it was not good to be exposed to a direct sun and also water. But, thank God it is okay rite now.

The time when I was having the “holiday” was a long weekend for Indonesian. It was one day after April 9, 2009 when people nationwide and also the Indonesian who live abroad had the first election (to choose the regional representatif (a.k.a caleg). I did not use my rights that day. Nope, it was not that I was one of the golputers (=abstainer), it’s really an administrative problem. I was not registered!. Sigh…but, the next election (the presidential one) I surely will have my rights…I’ll choose the one who I believe would bring me my dream (cieeehhhh…)…

Well, I hope that day he could get the “picture” of my big family in where I was raised. So that he would understand me more. My bro, a cousin, him, a driver, and me were heading to Malang after that. And I had a wonderful dinner with him at Malibu steak house. Weleh…jadi kangen neh…harharhar…Hmhm, I should not be missing him. The thing is that the date (both date) was settled already. Right thing to do actually is really the carpe diem thing. Seize the moments I have with my family here and there in Jember. Before I move with him…

Sigh…gotta sleep earlier…gotta jog tomorrow…c u soon guys…

Yesterday was a national holiday.
But, could not have a decent holiday.
Especially after buying the wedding magazine and found out that the prices is higher than before…hicks…
But, still…the queen have the faith that everything will be alright…(amen…)

An accident happened when I tried to update this website. I made the contents of the LINKS section all dissapear, so i gotta add them again…one by one…manually…sigh…a big waste of time…haiishh…

One thing that made me happy yesterday was that he visited this new home of mine and said it was cool and encourage me to keep on writing…(i think i could sleep with a wide smile…)

Well, i think i must be off now…since tomorrow (actually, now IS tomorrow i try to mention here) is working day (but hey, it’s friday already…yyaayyy!!!)
