Blah blah on Tuesday

Distracting makes you spend alot of hours doing unecessary things. This morning I planed to go to Borma Dakota, doing site visit for a client. But then Sam has an internal meeting have to start cos his partners is already arrived. So I have to think how to get information I need without going there, and fortunately this morning 'alam semesta' mendukung..hahahaa... I only call one number, talking to two people, and I got what I need.

And then I go to the living room to making photos of my notebook and cards stuff. After three shots, rarrrgh.. battery is emptyyyy! And it's already 3 hours, the charger haven't stopped yet. And I'm ended up sitting in front of the computer, browsing things that really interesting at first, but then makin' me realize that haven't done any of my task that I have to today(except calling people at Borma :p).

*siiighhh* But then I read an article suggest by my sister, a very interesting and a great one: http://angelinaveni.com/2010/12/12/merefleksikan-pendidikan/
Angelina told us her perspective about education in Indonesia compared with US standard, after taking one semester at Stanford University. It's about consciousness in diversity,individuality and personality, enterpreneurship and critical thinking.

By the way my friend has an interesting opinion about getting children into a school that has new and progressive way of teaching in here, Indonesia. She says: "Make sure that the school has a wide level, from elementary to senior high. It would be a pitty for the child if he have to stop in some level and then going to an 'ordinary' school. If his surroundings do not understand him, he might ended become confused".

Blah. let's have the education start at home.

Anne and Emily

...Haruskah dia menolak arus, ketika datang tawaran untuk mengikutinya? Bunga-bunga Lili putih bulan Juni melambai-lambai di dalam angin sepoi-sepoi lembut. Emily nyaris bisa melihat teman lamanya, Perempuan Angin, membungkuk di atas bunga-bunga itu untuk mendongakkan dagu sehalus lilin mereka.....
(Emily Climbs, halaman 464-465)

My newest favourite writer is Mrs Lucy. Lucy M. Montgomery. Yes, Anne of Green Gables! Sweet, warm and kindhearted Anne, followed by dark haired Emily Starr, become my new friends.

I guess I like Emily more, ‘cos she has a darker side that always popped out together with her mischief plan. Emily is full of passion, but she has a depth that makes her a poet. With Anne, everything is bright, positive, and pastel color. With Emily, there were troops of beautiful ghost that lurking behind the pretty pine tree.

And also, thank you to Mizan-Qanita Publisher, that translated and published Mrs. Montgomery’s titles. There were other publisher soon grasp the opportunity to published another books of Lucy Montgomery, it’s The Story Girl. I guess that’s mean Qanita has a very good sense!

Scrapbooking Store

A very tempting place, a new scrapbooking store at PVJ(Parijs Van Java) Shopping Mall, Jalan Sukajadi, Bandung.


I really wanted those pretty papers with pattern on their two sides, each about 17.500 IDR! Quite reasonable :D

Tarik napas dalam-dalaaam.... *janganngeborongjanganngeborongjanganngeborong*

Kura-kuranya ...!!!

Pagi tadi saya pergi ke balkon untuk melihat siapa yang membunyikan bel. Ternyata Abang Tukang Kebun(Bukan Abang Tukang Bakso lho *halah*). Saya langsung lari-lari ke bawah, tanpa menutup pintu balkon.

Pas saya ke atas lagi, si Kura-kura peliharaan temen kos udah sampe dalem... jalan2 di bawah meja, di antara kabel2 komputer. Rupanya dia keluar dari habitatnya(balkon) dan masuk ke dalam.
"Hmmm kayaknya ngangkat kura-kura gampang" pikir saya.

Paling juga kalo dideketin dia mungslep ke dalam cangkangnya. Jadi saya pake kresek sebagai sarung tangan, trus ngangkat dia. Oh No... dia menggelepar2 kenceng gitu, bikin saya nervous stengah mati, dan ikutan gemeteran juga. saya lagi tarik napas untuk percobaan kedua kalinya sambil mikir" Manaaa lagi temennya yang satu lagi" - Berhubung tuh kura-kura emang berdua-" Kalo yang satu lagi ikutan masuk ke dalem ruangan, jangan ampe kejadian deh dia jatoh ke lantai bawah... "

Naaah ga 5 detik kemudian ada suara "BLETAAAK...!" kenceng banget, pas di bawah void. Saya buru2 melongok ke bawah. Perasaan ga da sapa-sapa, pan si mang lagi di kebon... Trus saya liat sesuatu yang warnanya coklat-coklat gitu segede hard disk eksternal. KURA-KURANY A JATOOOH...!!!

Ampun dah! Saya lari-lari lagi ke bawah, saya samperin dia. Ada darah setitik di samping dia. Oh man, gue stress banget... Duh gimana dong, saya ga bisa ngangkatnyaaa....kura2 idup seger aja saya gemeteran, pegimana yang berdarah. Nah, kan ada si Mang tuh di kebon depan. Tapi kalo mau ke pintu depan saya mesti ngelewatin TKP dan si korban. Ya udah saya ambil ancang-ancang dan manggil-manggil si Mang supaya bantuin saya ngangkat kuyanya.

Si Mang masuk, trus si kura-kura diangkat sama dia. Duh mengenaskan banget... Kepala dan ketiga kakinya tersembunyi di dalam cangkangnya. Tapi ada satu kaki yang mengsol lemes keluar cangkang. Dan pas dibalik, haduuuhhh... cangkang bawahnya yang bagian depan ada yang geser trus di garis2 rangkanya itu berdarah. Merinding deh liatnya. Udah gitu, saya kira udah die dia, eh ternyata dia gerak-gerak dong... alias belum mati, dan pastinya dia kesakitan banget... Aduh bingung banget deh gue mesti ngapain...!
Akhirnya si kuya dibawain sama si Mang ke balkon. Temennya yang lagi jalan-jalan di antara kabel juga diangkat, dikembaliin ke balkon. Si Kuya yang terluka tadinya mau di plester, tapi ga punya, jadi dikasih Betadine. Saya kasih dia air minum di wadah ceper dan daun sawi. sambil jongkok saya bilang sama dia"Maaf ya kura-kura... sakit banget ya... makan dong sawinya, cepet sembuh ya... kasian kamu..."

Well, dua puluh menit kemudian saya balik lagi ke teras, air minumnya abis, sawinya ga kliatan berkurang (tapi sapa tau dia udah makan), dan Si Kuya udah jalan-jalan lagi si seantero penjuru teras.

Syukurlah… “menghela napas lega” (bahwa kami terhindar dari kemungkinan harus ngebawa-bawa kantong plastik yang mengelepar-gelepar dan berdarah ke dokter hewan terdekat)
