Multitasking Ability

2011-09-07T23:26:00.000-07:00

Ih ampun deh, malu rasanya sama diri sendiri. Kalo blog ini rumah tinggal, udah setebel apa ya debunya? Berbulan-bulan kosong tanpa diapa-apain, padahal kerja saya dirumah juga gak ngapa-ngapain. Cuma nonton, liat-liat FB, browsing-browsing.. males pengaruh kehamilan nih kayanya *alesyaaaaan :P

Dan sampailah saya di pagi hari ini, pas iseng-iseng browing-broswing dikompasiana, saya nemu artikel ini Rasanya kayak di tusuk tepat di jantung hati terdalam *halah*. Bener-bener deh.. malu deh rasanya. Saya ini emang tipikal manusia bermental tempe kayaknya. Punya buanyak banget keinginan, mimpi dan pemikiran, tapi cuma sampe mandek di otak. Ga ada satupun yang saya mati-matian usahain biar terwujud. semuanya cuma sampe di niat yang langsung melepes pas mau dilakuin. Payah deh pokoknya. Udah banyak contoh dosanya deh. Contohnya, kemarin menggebu-gebu resign dari kantor terakhir untuk belajar bisnis. Dan hasilnya, saya kikuk gitu mau nawar-nawarin barang dagangan, belajar web buat jualan pun cuma sebatas niat. *cubit pipi diri sendiri*. Terus niat mau ngelancarin b. inggris, biar bisa bikin artikel inggris yang ciamik. Hasilnya, buku toefel yang dah dibeli berbulan-bulan belum di sentuh sama sekali. *jedotin kepala ke tembok*. Dan yang paling keliatan adalah salah satu mimpi saya adalah jadi penulis. Mau punya karir dibidang tulis menulis ini, melihat status yang insya Allah bakal jadi ibu, freelance writer udah jadi pekerjaan yang paling saya idam-idamkan deh. tapiiii, liat aja blog ini kosong melompong berbulan-bulan. cita-citanya sih begitu melahirkan langsung pingin apply jadi freelance reporter atau freelance writer di beberapa media gitu. Nah langkah demi wujudin rencana itu kan saya harus punya portfolio tulisan-tulisan. Nah ini, boro-boro masukin tulisan ke media, blog sendiri aja dianggurin sampe berbulan-bulan. Ampun deh ma diri sendiri. Punya mental tempe amat siih.. *jongkok nangis dipojokan*

Baca artikel di kompasiana itu lumayan bikin saya mikir ulang. Emang mau ya sampeyan daya pikir dan kemampuannya segitu-segitu aja? Mau kalo ada kesempatan depan mata harus gigit jari, karena kemampuan ga mumpuni. Terus gimana nanti mendidik anak supaya bermental baja, kalo ibunya sendiri suka anget-anget puppynya ayam, kayak gini terus. Malu atuh sama temen-temen yang lain, yang udah pada bisa ini bisa itu. Saya cuma bisa senyum-senyum kecut aja. yuk gen yuk tobat yuk. Belajar lagi yuk, Malu atuh sama si dedek dalam perut, kalo bundanya lebih suka tidur-tiduran sambil nonton tipi and ngemil-ngemil aja dibanding memperkaya diri dengan ilmu-ilmu baru. Gak bisa jadi ibu yang jago dong. Ibu saya aja luar biasa multi taskingnya. Kerja sambil ngurus anak dua beres. Mikirin renovasi rumah sampe ke detail-detailnya jago. Kok ini anaknya cemen gini ya.. aduh malu ih malu. Bismillah, semoga bener-bener bisa stop ngejalanin slogan anget-anget puppynya ayam itu lagi. Doakeun saya ya temanns.. :)

JET LAG

2011-03-22T01:25:00.000-07:00

Hello blog, how are you dear..? It’s a long time since the last time I post here right? Please welcoming me back.. Because from now, I will write more fluently.. insya allah. :). Now I am a wife.. ahayyy.. New status, new responsibilities, and new phase in life. For more stories about my wedding day, I will post it later. But now, I want to post how my life since the wedding. Basically, I am enjoying it very much. Bahagia rasanya karena sudah menemukan seseorang yang insya allah akan menemani sampai akhir hayat. dan alhamdulilah.. So far, I am lucky to have khoirul fajrin bin budi harsono as my husband. gak perlu dijabarkanlah ya, alasannya kenapa. tapi yang pasti.. I love you dear my hubby.. Both of your strength or your weakness. :)

Before marry, I have already planned to resign from my job after wedding. alasannya beragam, utamanya adalah karena ketidaknyamanan dalam bekerja dan ingin belajar menjadi ibu rumah tangga yang bekerja dari rumah. kedengarannya seru ya? tapi in fact, it doesn't easy like what I thought before. First, "jet lag". Yap, jet lag sodara! Jet lagnya lebih ke perbedaan situasi yang guedee sekali. Dari pekerja kantoran yang kerja dari pagi sampai sore berubah jadi istri yang stay dirumah, mengurus keperluan rumah dan suami, dan manage bisnis kecil-kecilan. So different right? Don’t ask what I feel. I feel deeply sad. Hampir nangis malah. Tekanan batin rasanya. Kedua, rasanya otakku diistirahatkan. Yang dipikirkan utama adalah keperluan rumah tangga, mau masak apa, ini itu udah beres apa belum.. dan berada dilingkungan mamah-mamah dan bunda-bunda.. My childish side of me denial my current status. I feel like I am still college student that hang around with my young and single colleagues. hahaha.. Silly thought right. Yak, nano-nano deh rasanya.. belum lagi kalo misal teman-teman sepermainan ku lagi kumpul atau main dimana gituu.. I feel like.. hmmm.. huhu.. aku tak diajak..! Another childish behavior right? hahaha.. Maybe I am the spoiled girl who being pushed to be a mature woman.

I need to be realizing that this is the phase that I need to pass. And the truth is all off this phase is wonderful. Alhamdulilah, Allah sudah mempertemukan ku dengan jodohku. Diperlancar semua urusan-urusan pernikahan kemarin. Semuanya adalah hal-hal yang amat sangat patut untuk disyukuri. Now, All I want to do is become the best as I can. No matter what title that I have now. I just want to be the best. Be a best wife for my husband, the best daughter for my parents, and later the best mom for my children. I love my family, tapi aku juga masih punya my own world. menikah bukan berarti aku kehilangan kesempatan untuk tetap punya jati diri. Aku punya mimpi dan passion. Insya allah tetap akan kukejar tanpa harus mengorbankan keluargaku sedikit pun. Freelance mungkin bisa jadi pilihan. Ya hidup itu rahasia. Engga ada yang tahu persis gimana ke depannya. Manusia Cuma bisa bermimpi, doa dan yang pasti ikhtiar. Mengenai bagaimana jadinya nanti, Serahkan pada kekuasaan Allah semata. I just wish the best for me and my family. Amin.

Hello 2011

2011-01-26T18:46:00.000-08:00

Is it late statement? haha.. No probs lah.. Usually, every New Year eve never give differences for me. yaa, just let the time flies. the new year eve is just about the changing of number. But hopefully not for this 2011. I am so excited to welcoming this year. There is a lot of changes in my life. i will face the new term in life. Okey let me list the changing life of me:

Insya Allah, by counting down the days, I will be a wife. yak, menikah. akhirnya rejeki dan jodohnya datang tahun ini. awal tahun ini tepatnya. alhamdulilah. Semoga lancar-lancar terus yaa.. amin.
I boost my self to take a new challenge. Be brave to move from this save but uncomfortable zone. yaa, after a years, feeling depressed with my career life, but never dare to move on and take another chance. I boost my courage this year. I dare to move out. Alhamdulilah again.. Especially after my mother gives her bless to do this. yak, dan aku melangkah lagi dengan pasti #berdendang# :D
berusia seperempat abad. ngeri ya bok, kalo ukurannya abad. berasa tuaa.. but this is the reality every body! what have you already done in your life? what is your life achievement? for me, I can say it still zero or very few achievement. so, di seperempat abad usiaku ini, adalah menjadi wajib kudu harus berbenah diri. At least, keep learning. do something for others. karena di dunia ini waktu kita sungguh sempit. bismillah, semoga bisa terwujud dan semoga kalimat-kalimat tersebut bukan hanya jadi kumpulan huruf-huruf tanpa makna. belajar..belajar..belajar!!
melirik changing life no. 1, semoga tahun ini juga bisa menyandang status as a mother juga. amin.. amin..aminnnn.. :)

Oh Life.. the new spirit just come.. so, I proudly say "hello 2011.. Its pleasure to meet you.." :)

Langkah semakin cepat
Kar'na citaku semakin dekap
Hasrat kini terungkap
Dalam kata-kata yang terucap
Waktu terus melaju
seirama alunan lagu
Aku melangkah lagi dengan pasti!

(Aku Melangkah Lagi - Vina Panduwinata)

Passion oh passion

2010-11-03T01:28:00.000-07:00

That is my status in my facebook now. I just feel depressed with the activities I do every day. For almost three years, I do a job that doesn’t reflect what I really love. Sad and bad feels for sure!! I guess it must be good if you work based on your passion, you won’t feel those activities as a job, but as an activities that you really love to do and you will be paid for doing that. Oh gosh, I want to cry sometimes. This is just an activity that I need to do to fulfill my financial needs. It doesn’t reflect what I want. This is not making me smarter than before. I need to end this as soon as possible. I need to find what I really love to do. Ya.. ya.. ya.. (Gen, you have already said that statement since hmm..wait.. Hmm yup, since 2 years ago, I guess!) Damn, time flies so fast, and I still the same as I am in 2 years ago, no big progress in life! Hiks!

Just wanted to write

2010-11-02T02:30:00.000-07:00

Since my English capability is not well. So I decided to combine this blog into 2 languages. I desperately want to have a very good English capability and my dearest friend told me to practice it by blogging in English. Yes, I love to write, so it is good way to start blogging. At the first time I fully hard tried to write in English, even I ask my friend to review it before it published. But sometimes, lack of good grammar, made me stuck in write and finally cancel to publish. So right now, I decided to write it in 2 languages. The most important thing is I just want to share to others. I am not good in telling something directly, so write it into notes is more acceptable. :)

3 years & 10 Months

2010-08-13T00:45:00.000-07:00

Yes, it is I guess. I hope it will have happy ending at the end. Hope Allah will give all the best for both of us. Amin.

Three ‘Girls’ Musketeers in action

2010-07-01T20:44:00.000-07:00

Last month I had a holiday with my office colleagues. We went to Bali. Yes, just three of us. If I remind the process before the holiday can be realized, it was so dramatically. We had already booked the ticket since a half year before, and badly we had to pending it and move it to other month because we had the event at the same date. Each of us faced a lot of life problems, which made we lose the excitement about it. Luckily, we found our spirit back at the moment we had to go. And the last, asked leave day to our boss was not an easy way. Three employees took the same date to leave, well, in a lot of company, that couldn’t be accepted. But thanks to Allah, He made our boss gave his sign to our leave approval.

At Bali, each time became our unforgettable moment. Touring with the rent car, reading the map all time long of the journey, moving from hotel to hotel, whistling every time we want to took a bath, it decide who went to took a bath first, and doing whist again to won the turn to sleep alone in large bed while 2 others had to sleep together. Drove the car to the downhill road, especially for women driver, it was totally not easy thing, but we did it. My friend did it I mean. We also learned to drove, and somehow, the car machine is smoked while we learned to drive. Thanks to the owner to fixed the car while we enjoyed the beach. And believe it or not, I just ate once a day and the rest others, we always ‘nyobek’ which means we ate the breads while waiting the eat time. And still more silly activities that we enjoyed that very much.

Each moment taught us to know each others better; we learned how to face each other. When one of us felt in high emotion, the others tried to calm her. We tried to understand each others. We also learned to make a decision to take together. And absolutely, it full of smiles, laughs, and blessed feels to Allah in every time we saw the beauty of His creation in every place we visited.

Our initial name

White sand At Nusa Dua Beach

Nusa Dua Beach

At Uluwatu

At GWK

At Pura Besakih

Beautiful sunset at Kuta Beach

Every time I saw sunset and sunrise, slowly I sang Lembayung Bali lyric by Saras Dewi. Yes I was on Bali and saw the sunset directly in here. The song feels so deep for me. I am going to miss those memories very much. Hope we can always be good friends’ girls, friends of life.

Menatap lembayung di langit Bali
dan kusadari betapa berharga kenanganmu
Di kala jiwaku tak terbatas
bebas berandai memulang waktu

Andai ada satu cara
tuk kembali menatap agung surya-Mu
lembayung Bali

(Lembayung Bali - Saras Dewi)

Song list

2010-06-28T19:34:00.001-07:00

Last week I met the street singer who was singing a song beautifully. He made me feel like I was on Café, not at the bus. His voice was so soft and beautiful. His guitar’s sound collaborated with his voice turn into an adorable music. It’s a perfecto package for me. Maybe sound like a wonderful acoustic music. He sang three songs, which are consisting of:

1. Tak kan terganti by Yovie
2. Over The rainbow by Anne Muray
3. I don’t know about the third song, because I have to go down from the bus

It made me imagine and dream that someday when I am getting married, the sound music will be acoustic, which is played by the singer who has soft sounds and accompanied by acoustic music. And they will sing all about love song. That will be great! And I also imagine about the song list, it should be consisted of it:

1. Don’t Sleep Away Tonight by Glen Fredly
2. Aku cinta Padamu by Glen Fredly
3. Buat aku tersenyum by Sheila On 7
4. Hingga Ujung Waktu by Sheila On 7
5. From this moment by Shania Twain
6. and still more

And I do love the songs of Sheila on 7, like buat aku tersenyum and Hingga ujung waktu. Both songs tell about how to keep our love in unperfected conditions. Like when faces the problems, faces the anger, growing old, when beauty is no longer important or slowly turns into the weak body and being fat for examples. But both songs tell us that the love is still there. Love is still there among the unperfected and the weakness of our life partner. Isn’t it wonderful? Loving our partner truly madly deeply with all off his strength and weakness? Not only love his /her beautiful or handsome look, but also loving him/her when they depressed, they growing old and fat, or when they have had a bad tempered. For me, that is the meaning of love in real.

So people, when you have planned to get marry please choose wisely the song in your wedding day. It is probably not the most important thing to be done, but it will complete your big day. And please, do not choose the songs with incompatible lyric. The lyric which is tell about sadness, says goodbye, or break up. I still hear the songs with those lyric in some weddings. The music is probably good and well known, but not the lyric. It is not match at all for the wedding.

Oh Gosh, I should be work in wedding stuff, I love it very much!

Dreams...

2009-06-18T00:25:00.000-07:00

This is first time for me to have a blog and write everything on it. Actually I had no idea what I supposed to write on it. Basically I just want to improve my English capability more and more, by using English as my language in writing. I have a dream that someday I can travel around the world and this English language will make everything more easier. But actually, I guess that is became most people's dream... right?

Beside that, I do want to practice my writing capability. I have a dream that someday I can be a good writer and make it as my job. So, everyday I can work in front of my computer, which is located beside my bed. That must be so good! I don't need to take a bath or using a good clothes before go to work. All I need to do is just sit and write. And if I have already married, I can take care of my family while working. So I can find a balance life.

That is my dream, hopefully can be realized as soon as possible. I guess there is a lot of mistake grammar in this blog.. but its OK. it is my process to be a better girl with better English capability.. Hopefully.. Amin..
