Andien

Lahir dari keluarga yang lumayan besar (ibu adalah anak ke-2 dari 8 bersaudara dan bapak adalah anak ke-5 dari 6 bersaudara), membuat gue jadi punya banyak sepupu. Itu suatu hal yang sangat menyenangkan buat gue.

Tanpa bermaksud pilih kasih, gue sedang pengen nyeritain tentang salah satu sepupu gue, dari pihak ibu.

Namanya Andien.

Dia umurnya baru 6 tahun, tapi kalo diliat dari ukuran tubuhnya dia kayak baru 4 tahun. Mungiiiiiiiil sekali. Selalu bikin gue gemes mau mempermainkan dia tiap kali ketemu. Haha. Dia ini orangnya suka ceplas-ceplos polos yang bikin orang di sekitarnya ketawa geli ngeliat tingkahnya.

Yang mau gue ceritain di sini adalah potongan-potongan celotehannya dia yang selalu bikin gue cengengesan tiap ingat itu. Hihihihi.

cerita 1.

Ini cerita waktu dia baru masuk TK, Andien ini orangnya cadel. jadi tentu aja dia sering salah pengucapan kata.

"Ma, aku nggak mau temenan sama Wawa lagi. Abisnya dia sombong."
"Sombong kenapa emangnya?"
"Abis aku panggil-panggil dia nggak mau nengok.."

Karena penasaran, si Mama alias tante gue, pergi ke TKnya si Andien ini. dan sangat geli menemukan bahwa ternyata Wawa si sombong itu ternyata namanya adalah Rara.

"Jelas aja, Ndien, dia nggak mau nengok pas kamu panggil. Lah namanya Rara kamu manggilnya Wawa.."



cerita 2

Ini cerita baru-baru aja, waktu minggu pertama dia jadi murid SD. Badannya dia kan mungiiil banget, jadi seragamnya kegedean, bahkan celana olahraganya bisa ditarik sampe dada. Hahaha.

Andien ini punya kakak kelas 2 SMP dan 4 SD, yang sering menghujani si adik ini dengan serunya cerita masa SD. Maka gue tanyalah pengalaman seminggu pertamanya di SD.

"Adek Andien, gimana sekolah SD kelas satu? Enak nggak?"
"Nggak enak. Aku nggak suka."
"Lho kenapa gitu?"
"Aku lebih suka kelas miting."

Dan disaat dia jawab itu, meledaklah ketawa sekeluarga besar gue pas denger dia bilang gitu. Karena dia sering mendengar kakak-kakaknya cerita tentang betapa serunya kalo di sekolah lagi ada class meeting. Padahal dia juga nggak tau apa itu kelas miting. Hahahaha.


Dasar Adek Andien. Happy early birthday, ya dek. Semoga kamu cepat besar. Hihi.

left or right?

You Are Right Brained In Love

Bit of a drama queen Peacemaker, first to end a fight Good at thinking up creative dates Tend to fall in love and get hurt easily Going with your gut instead of your head Empathetic and caring, sometimes to a fault Good at recognizing patterns in relationships Been in love many times, perhaps too many to count Wildly passionate and intense when falling in love Spontaneous with relationships, going with the flow Overly visual - can play back past dates like movies in your mind Roses, love poems, and stuffed animals are a good start to win your heart

Are You a Right Brained or Left Brained Woman in Love?

okay. now compare it with this.

You Are 45% Left Brained, 55% Right Brained

The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning. Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet. The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility. Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art. Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.

Are You Right or Left Brained?

new page

menganalogikan menjalani hidup sama seperti membuat tulisan. yang kalo buat gue, kadang susah kadang gampang. kadang hasilnya memuaskan, kadang biasa aja dan nggak jarang mengecewakan. terkadang suka stuck, dan juga bisa lancar..

tiap tulisan, seperti menggambarkan taip-tiap bagian dalam hidup, di mana kadang ada ceria, ada sedih, ada marah, ada kesal, ada berbunga-bunga, ada patah hati dan lain-lain.

ada juga suatu tulisan yang udah terlalu panjang, yang jadi kisah nggak berujung. yang sebenernya, tulisan itu nggak ada bagusnya juga kalo diterusin. karena mungkin, kalo nggak diterusin, tulisan itu bakal jadi lebih bagus.

dan selain itu, pasti ada saat-saat di mana harus ada tulisan baru. memulai sesuatu dari awal lagi, dari nol. dari lembaran polos. tapi gimana dengan tulisan-tulisan yang lama? dibuang? nggak mungkin lah, sayang.. lagian, kita belajar dari masa lalu. dari keberhasilan maupun kegagalan yang udah pernah kita perbuat..

dan kadang nggak ada keberanian, untuk mulai dari awal lagi. ada aja takutnya. takut tulisan itu nggak selesai, takut tulisan yang baru nggak lebih baik. takut. padahal, tulisan yang lama emang harus ditinggalin. karena nggak berujung.

lagian, kalo nggak dicoba, kita nggak bisa tau kan?
:)



wiydiy,
opening new page of her life.

fictional character

well, it may look so stupid and pathetic, but i guess now i am going to make him just a fictional character. hahahahahaha.


the picture is taken from: wiki's lessons

menulis ituuuu..., susah.

ih. blog gue terlantar banget sih. kasian. kemalasan dan ketidakmampuan gue mengatur waktu dengan baik bikin gue selalu mencar-cari alasan untuk tidak ngeblog. payah. banget.

padahal banyak temen gue yang sama sibuknya, bahkan lebih sibuk, tapi masih bisa aja gitu produktif nulis. bukan cuma di blog, bahkan ampe dimuat di koran nasional. sungguh mengagumkan mereka itu. sedangkan gue, nulis di blog kayak gini aja masiiii aja suka stuck nggak jelas. apalagi mau bikin tulisan yang dimuat di koran nasional..

dan ketidakmampuan gue untuk membuat suatu tulisan yang bagus ini terasa sangat memberatkan di dunia akademis ini, karena program studi gue sangat sangat demanding terhadap suatu karya tulis. dan semakin tinggi tingkat lo, maka semakin banyak tugas kuliah berbentuk karya tulis yang mesti lo kerjain. dan buat gue, itu sangat sangat sangatlah sulit.

karena yang ada gue ngerjain berdekatan dengan deadline, sehingga struktur tulisan gue pun nggak rapih. analisanya nggak tajam seperti yang mestinya dilakukan akademisi. intinya satu, payah.

dan sepertinya gue harus banyak belajar sama teman-teman dan senior dan mereka yang jago menulis. fufufu.
semangatttt!

..and that's okay.

and it's okay..,
if you had to go away
oh, just remember the telephones
well they work in both ways
but if i never ever hear them ring,
if nothing else,
i'll think the bells inside
have finally found you someone else
..and that's okay
cause i'll remember everything you sang

jason mraz - you and i both

well, i guess you found someone else.
and that's okay..

=)

memories keeper

memories keeper. that is how i call myself.

i keep all memories i can remember since i was a kid up until now. i remember this and that. i can almost remember all the things occured in my past. when i got hit by a boat, or when the first time i learn to ride a bike. i clearly remember those days.

and now, i keep text messages, e-mails, im conversations from people around me. not that i keep them all, only from the significants and the used-to-be(s). i love reading those over and over again.

when i read those, i caught myself smiling, or even laughing. but sometimes i get so shallow and lonely. i mean, well, that is just the nature of memories. it can turn your feelings upside down.

i put my memories into two parts, the memories and the past.
*okay, i know this sounds silly since the memories happened in the past and in the past we have memories. but just leave it this way for now. =P

the memories:
the things that are just too good to be forgotten and of course, so nice to be remembered.

the past:
the things that are way too hurtful and bad but unfortunately you cannot get over them yet.

in short:
the memories are the good, and the past is the bad. :D


...and now i am having difficulties to put this part of my life in which, the memories, or the past.

regol. dan lalala-nya.

ini adalah yang terjadi tiap hampir mulai semester baru,
di kampus gue.
suatu ritual wajib demi kelangsungan kehidupan akademis.

pengisian rencana studi. secara online.
istilahnya registrasi online.
nama bekennya, regol.

oiya, kampus saya, di sini.

• semester ganjil 2006/2007
  

waktu pertama kali jadi diterima jadi mahasiswa, matakuliah yang diambil di semester 1 masih paket, jadi nggak terlalu ribet dengan si regol ini.
semester 2 juga gitu, masi paket, nurut dengan apa yang ada di buku panduan.

• semester genap 2006/2007 - semester pendek 2006/2007
  

dan sistem regol, ketika saya semester 2, juga masih oke banget. super oke malah. nggak ada connection time out lah, page load error atau apa lah itu. dan lagi, sistem regol saat itu, cuma ngijinin kita untuk ambil mata kuliah saja. tanpa pilihan dosen atau apapun. cuma matakuliah aja. *oiya, ini pake sistem regol internal fe aja.

lalu, di pertengahan semester 2, pihak universitas mengumumkan bahwa sistem regol udah terpusat, diadakan oleh rektorat, dan digunakan sama seluruh fakultas. termasuk fakultas saya.

sistem itu, namanya, siak-NG.

pertama kali akhirnya gue dan temen-temen gue merasakan sistem ini pas mau regol untuk semester pendek tahun 2006. ternyata pake siak-NG ini, bukan cuma bisa milih matakuliah aja, tapi juga milih dosen dan, bisa ngeliat daftar mahasiswa sekelas, jadi bisa milih buat sekelas sama gebetan. =P

tapi malah kelebihan itu malah bikin regol jadi rusuh. jadi lemot. karnea terlalu berebut, dan servernya nggak cukup oke pada saat itu. dan kita nganggep, oke lah yaa, pliot project, wajar kalo masi dudul gini.

• semester ganjil 2007.

begadang nungguin regol dibuka karena udah pasti bakal rebutan lagi. begitulah.

then, it turned out to be super hectic. banyak yang gabisa login. dan dalam waktu 3 menit, udah ada 1 kelas yang pengajarnya dosen-favorit-terkenal-oh-so-baik-hati-sekali peminatnya overload. tapi kelas yang pengajarnya dosen-gaib-nilainya-dan-aneh-pula ga ada peminatnya sama sekali. ironis aja gitu.

dan yang terjadi adalah kelas yang kosong itu diisi secara random sama orang-orang yang tadinya udah terdaftar di kelas lain.

atau banyak yang pada akhirnya nggak kebagian kelas. oh well.

i got the second best lecturers, back then. lucky enough.

• semester genap 2007/2008

belajar dari pengalaman dua regol sebelumnya, maka begadang lagi tentunya. mengaktifkan ym dan janjian conference dengan teman-teman sejurusan untuk kompakan milih dosen.

ym mulai rame sekitar jam setengah11 malem, dan yaudah. menunggu. dan menunggu. sampe jam 2. regol masih belum dibuka juga. masi niat nungguin. nyerah jam 4 pagi. tidur.

bangun jam setengah7 keesokan harinya. komputer masi standby. bangun tidur langsung refresh si siak-NG. melakukan itu terus. terus-terusan. sampai pada sekitar jam 9 pagi baru bisa regol.

segera isi IRS, terus nelepon yang lain buat pada regol.
*ada juga yang ngirimin sms buat nitip regol.

setelah regol beres. langsung tidur kek orang mati. hahah.

and the result? dosen oke dapet semua, untungnya regol duluan. ;)

• semester pendek 2007/2008

tetep aja begadang lagi. tapi, ketika jam1 pagi masi belum bisa regol, ya langsung ditinggal bobok aja. nungguin seharian. dan ternyata dibukanya jam 4. oh well.

masih tetep aja gitu lemot dibukanya. servernya down mulu. ah rese. masa iya udah lama masi belum diperbaiki juga.

• semester ganjil 2008/2009

masi lemot juga. lemot parah. parah banget.
regol bikin emosi.

• semester genap 2008/2009

makin lemot. parah. masih masa transisi dari domain .ui.edu ke ui.ac.id, juga karena mahasiswa baru (maba) 2008 jumlahnya 150%lebih banyak. argh. dan kenapa baru ngaruh di semester genap? karena pas semester ganjil kemaren, jadwal regol maba 2008 nggak barengan. sekarang semuanya dibarengin. makin gila-gilaan lah trafficnya.

dan yang lebih mengecewakan lagi, pihak universitas, yang bikin sistem ini terintegrasi, seolah nggak berbuat suatu apapun. oke, pindah domain, mungkin servernya lebih oke atau apa lah, yang menjamin kelancaran akses mahasiswa, tapi kalo masi pilot project, kenapa timingnya nggak oke? argh. emosiii.

januari. january. janvier. gennaio. janeiro. enero.

been abandoning this blog for quite time, i think it's time for me to be back and take a good care of it. ;)

it's january already. oh time warps by so fast.

why january?

*and two years ago, i had a breakup, exactly on january the eleventh. oh well.
