best of the best.... of 2008 :D

hahaha, seems REALLY REALLY REALLY unimportant to write such kinda thing like this,but its ok rite? it seems fun! besides, it's already the last month of the year and i just followed what alpoy did last year... hahah.
arrh enough with the talking. just start.
BEST TIDBITSROTI KECIK GANEP'S

five words for the tidbits : cant stop till you drop :)) because this snack is just sooo addictive! well, you guys might not know about this snack, cuz actually this snack is only produced in jogjakarta and solo (but hey, you can order it online! just click www.rotiganep.com). this is made of glutinous rice flour, sugar, and eggs. seems simple, but if you dont know the composition, you may not be able to make the right taste and texture :)
what i like from roti kecik is it's not too sweet, so you can dip it in chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, jam, or other condiments you like. or you also can eat it without any condiment, you will feel the same great taste but less calorie :) besides, one other thing that i love about this snack is once you chew it, it will melt in your mouth and i really fall for the taste right when it's melted. ummmmm. heaven.
BEST BOOKBABINGESOT

if you are stressed by your job, your assignments, or anything, just stick to this book and you'll erase the stress away. this is the second book of raditya dika that i read after kambingjantan, and it gave me greater laughter. i think his sense of humour becomes sharper book by book, yet it also shows his smartness. way to go, radith! waiting for your movie and your ridiculous expressions! :))
beware : too much laughter will lead you to mental hospital, undoubtedly :D

BEST TRACKMICHAEL BUBLE - EVERYTHING

this is the ONLY track from my whole collection which i havent deleted from my playlist FOR ONE YEAR. hey, this is such a record for me. i'm quite easy to get bored when it comes to music. i always renew my playlist by deleting the old(er) songs and replacing them with new(er) songs, but not for this song. its still there in both my mp3 player and cellphone playlist, and maybe it will still be there until next year. i dont know why i keep listening to this song, maybe it's because of the calming vibe given by the song everytime i listen to it. or maybe because of the amazing voice of michael buble? well, whatever. just listen to the song :)

BEST MOVIEHELLBOY 2 : THE GOLDEN ARMY

i call this movie 'the second armageddon'. i mean, i could laugh, cry, and hold my breath at the same time by only watching this movie, just like when i watched armageddon long long time ago. until now, i still laugh everytime i remember the scene where abe and hellboy sang 'can't smile without you' together. so funny! for those who havent watched this movie, hunting the dvd is highly recommended :)

BEST TV SERIESGOSSIP GIRL

choosing the winner in this category between heroes, gossip girl, hannah montana, and friends is just as hard as choosing the best movie although movie category has more choices than this category. lucky i havent watched desperate housewives yet :)) why do i choose gossip girl although i just started to watch it several days ago? hmmm. first, i havent watched all episodes of friends, so although i found that it's hilariously funny, i still cant pick it as the best. hannah montana? uh-uh, i think it's more suitable for my sister, although i also love watching the show. next reason, gossip girl is more real than heroes. it doesnt mean that i dont like sci-fi, but i think gossip girl has more complicated problems and you can see every daily problems in this drama. friendship, love, scandals, competition, backstabbing friends, problems at school, problems in business... you can see them in daily life, but the writers can write them beautifully so that people dont get bored. besides, watching gossip girl is like watching a runway project. beauuuuuuutiful outfits and gorgeous faces are available for each episode, and they are just really attractive to me, hahaha.

BEST PLACE TO EATSABA' RESTAURANT

located in cyberjaya, saba' is just a perfect place for dinner for those who love arabian cuisine. i usually drop by every sunday for shisha, its delicious hummus, and calming mint tea pot, and you'll only spend RM 17 for that. wait, it's included RM 10 for shisha and you spend that money for 4! see? or you can try its arabian rice eaten with lamb cooked in delicious spices (daaamn, i forgot the exact name! but you can see the figure in the pic) by paying RM 10 for two, your stomach and your tongue will be so thankful for that! you also can find non-alcoholic beer called barbican here, although i havent tried one. and oooh, dont forget its delicious kebab and its delicious pudding which is perfect for dessert after eating quite heavy meal, since the pudding feels so light on my tongue and stomach. nyuuummm.

MOST SCARY CELEBRITY GOSSIP
THE DEATH OF HEATH LEDGER

until now, i still cant believe that he's dead because of pills. although i heard that he's dead because of joker. yea, he's dead because he wanted to be perfect in being the depressed joker, so he let himself being depressed during acting as joker. after the shooting of the dark knight had been finished, he still felt depressed, so he decided to get some anti-depression pills. unfortunately, he got them too much.... and that's the end of the story. so sad he's dead because of his totality in acting. i always love him since '10 things about you' and 'brokeback mountain'. he really deserves an award. athpugh he's dead, but i think it's still ok, anyone disagrees?

BEST MOMENT
BEING A COLLEGE STUDENT

why so special? ok, being a college student is completely different from being an elementary or even high school student, and i had to start this new phase of life far away from my parents. i had to start all over again in a new country, new environment, new friends, new system of education, new in everything. at first, i couldnt believe that i would be able to get through them all by myself, but seeing that i had been through this new life for one year, now i'm optimist that i can go through the next years with bigger support from my fams, my besties, and my new family in malay (kang riza, mba winda, mba evhy... tengsooo guys!).
thassal. CU guys on the next posts!

one more gossip girl lover here :)

ahh well, i might be the one millionth person on earth you know who fall in love with gossip girl :)) but trust me, if you still haven't watched this drama, GO WATCH IT. you can buy the dvds or just download it through bittorrent. this drama is just really worth to make you sit in front of your tv (or laptop like me :D) and spend your time watching the series with a bowl of popcorn. for several first episodes, you may compare it with the o.c. or laguna beach, but this is different. nobody in this series is completely protagonist nor antagonist. even the sweetest character is not as pure as a saint which means they still have their black book, or even the cruelest character can be the nicest person on earth you know.
what i like from gossip girl is, ummm, although it tells about the rich and richess, never ending parties, and all those socialite things, the story seems still down to earth to me. i mean, not all the high-class thingy are always perfect. they might look perfect on the outside, but full of scandals inside. they look very happy outside, but dying inside. i also like the love intrigues in this drama, because that's my opinion about love in real life. no love life is as smooth as silk. there can be on-and-off in a relationship. even the most perfect relationship in this drama can be broken in the end. yeah, although sometimes i'm confused with the love web : nate is with blair, then blair has scandal with chuck who is nate's bestfriend and also in love with her. nate used to be over serena who is blair's bestfriend, but now serena is with dan, who has a childhood love called vanessa, who is later the girlfriend of nate, who is later also has a relationship with jenny, dan's sister. see, complicated but fun! :) you may compare it with dawson's creek until this part, since both of them have the same complicated love web.
well, about my favorite character, hmmm... a bit difficult to choose, but i think i will choose... hmm... jenny. jenny humphrey.

yea, jenny. not nate (although he's as hot as a fresh pie out of the oven) or dan (although he's as sweet as cotton candy). why jenny? hm, well, i just like her character. she loves challenges. she wants to be popular, but it doesnt mean that she will change her personality for the popularity. sometimes she can be mean or tricky, but she's in the phase of learning as a teenager, so i think it's okay. she can change her face to the cruelest mode when she is with the society, but the face turns nice when she's with her family or with the people she likes. well, way to go taylor momsen :)
but you know what, i think i like chuck bass too.

yea i know, he's as wicked as he can be, he's the villain, but sometimes i think he has the reason for being wicked. for example, when he betrayed his bestfriend, nate, because both of them were in love with blair, i think its so normal. you have to fight for your love, right? in this case here, i think the one to be blamed is blair, i mean, why being so greedy? couldnt she just choose?
besides, i think chuck bass is the sexiest from all the guys in the series :)) i just like the way he talks, the way he stares. looks so cruel but hmm yummy, hahaha. uh yeah you know i'm sick :P

till then, you know you love me :))

X.O.X.O, gossip girl

DEFINITELY, hmmm MAYBE :)

here we are, as i promised (hm, i think i didnt make any promise, did i? :P), i wrote a post about a movie titled DEFINITELY, MAYBE. well, u may have this question pops in your mind : why DEFINITELY, MAYBE? why not JUMPER, since i am very impressed by this movie? hm, well, i have to admit that JUMPER impressed me more than DEFINITELY, MAYBE, but that's it. i mean, that's all i can say from this movie, and i had said all i was going to say in my review on my last post. different from JUMPER, i have more things to write as a post for DEFINITELY, MAYBE. i have favorite quotes, i have post-movie-curiosity which i've never had before... things i couldnt get from JUMPER. as simple as that.
i think i have to start by telling the main story of this movie. AGAIN. ok, DEFINITELY, MAYBE told about a guy, william hayes (stunningly handsome ryan reynolds), who was about to divorce with his wife, sarah. one day, will's daughter, maya (played by the sweet candy sugar pie, abigail breslin), asked how her parents met. instead of telling the story straight to the point, will told maya two other sweethearts he had for his lifetime, put both of them (and her mom) together in the story, and asked maya to guess which one her mom was from the three. sounds interesting, doesnt it. i think this is one extra point from the movie, because this made me keep guessing until the end of the story. i also kept guessing whether will and sarah would be together again or not in the very end. hmm, are these points already enough to make you go out and find the dvd?? :P
ok, stop until this part. go watch the movie. seriously! when you've finished, get back to this blog and read the rest of the post. DON'T go to the next lines if you haven't watched the movie, or you'll regret doing it :P






























hi again. since you're reading this part, i can assume that you've finished watching this movie. now i'm going to talk about my post-movie-curiosity and also my favorite lines. well, i have to tell you that this is the only movie that gives me post-movie-curiosity. as you've seen, finally will was back together with april. watching the ending, for me, left big question marks instead of answer for small question marks i had before. do you think that april is the one that will's searching for? from this movie, i could conclude that april is not a kind of girl who believes in marriage. do you think that they are going to be married? if they are, i dont really think that there wont be a second divorce for will since they are like cats and dogs for each other, although i can say that they are equally smart. hhmm, there should be a sequel for this movie, i think :P
whatever, just go to my favorite quotes!
---------------
will : "i wanna marry you because you are the person i wanna look at when i wake up in the morning, and the only one i wanna kiss goodnight. because the first time that i saw these hands, i couldnt imagine life without holding them. but mainly, when you love someone as much as i love you, getting married is the only thing left to do. so.... will you.... umm... marry me?" (anj*it, sweet banget sih!)
april : "definitely, maybe."
---------------
maya : "i love penguins."
sarah : "me too"
will : "me three"
---------------
maya    : "do you know that penguins mate for life, although mr. monell told us that sometimes the husbands and wives of penguins got separated because of their migrain patterns..."
will and sarah, together : "migratory"
---------------
maya : "do you know that 35 people try to jump off the brooklyn bridge each year, most because of broken heart?"
will : "....(speechless) i'll keep that in mind"
---------------
will : "i kept the book because that's the only thing i had left of you"
---------------
alrite, maybe reading these quotes in this post seems like there's nothing special in them, but listening to those lines said by the characters in this movie will give different meanings, trust me. but you guys must agree that the penguin parts are funny, rite? haha.
other chosen movies coming up, so stay tuned! :P

7 days of movies, 7 days of boredom-free mornings :)

heyyaaaaa pals,
really sad to know that my friends in indonesia and my fams dont have the same holiday time with me everytime i come back :( but it's totally fine. i only feel bored and lonely in the mornings, and all of those feelings are gone when afternoons start since my sis is back from school, then my besties come back from tiring lectures, and after that my parents are home :)
soooooo in order to throw the boredom away from my mornings, i decided to rent some dvds from a rental near my house, ha-ha-ha-ha, sounds like a very genious idea rite, so lame i didnt do that earlier :D
since i'm not a big fan of theaters (because i am one of a few people who hates being in a dark theatre. i still can get the idea of the movie without having to be in the dark and spending more money! but its still ok if you guys wanna ask me to do so, i'm such a getting-along person :D) i rented seven movies and you guys might had watched some of it long long time ago and now may have a thought of "what?-you-haven't-watched-this-movie??-where-have-you-been-dudette?" passed your mind. its ok, i spent too much time staying in my college i guess, hhaha. now i wanna give some reviews from MY side of view. hey, i think its ok, its MY OWN blog, i can write ANYTHING i want, rite? :)
ahh lets just get it started!
1. CAMP ROCK

well, another fancy-shmancy-musical movie from disney channel. another boring stories about the rich spoiled annoying girls who got the power above the poor, you-me-and-her, being popular, and happiness that comes after sadness. buuuuttt, one thing that makes me always want to watch disney musical movies is they always have stunning soundtracks, and this movie really DOES! the dancing-and-singing thingy in this movie really ROCK, and definitely one good choice if you're bored of listening to the pop music offered by high school musical (although i am not, hahaha) besides, joe jonas looks really DAMN COOL in this movie, hahaha. ahem.
2. 27 DRESSES

actually the idea is pretty cool, talking about a bridesmaid who deserves a lifetime achievement award in the world of weddings since she had been a bridesmaid in 27 weddings for her entire life :D. unfortunately, the story went like any usual drama and it's so easy peasy to guess the end of the story. but dont worry, our eyes will be refreshed during watching this movie because of the beautiful dresses (trust me, the dresses are just AWESOME, luuuurrrrvvvveee 'em!), beautiful katherine heigl (i cannot believe she's 30 already! she looks like 25 to me. anyone disagrees?), and - of course, dude - james marsden, since he is the creamiest, hahaha. overall, its still worth to watch.
3. WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS

Honestly, at first i wasnt interested at all with this movie, i even underestimated it by thinking that this was such a regular romantic comedy movie and there's nothing special in it. Just because i got bonus of one dvd by renting six dvds, finally i chose this movie to be the bonus. besides, ashton kutcher has been my favorite since like i was in junior high school, so i thought at least i still could have a good eye-refresher (uh damn please, AGAIN :D). and u know what, after watching this movie, i completely changed my mind. this movie is great. altho its not that superb, enough to say that the movie is great. this movie could be veeerrry funny at the beginning, especially the tricks they got and all, and became veeerrry romantic at the final scenes. i totally got stunned by the one and only adorable ashton because of what he did in the very final scene (i ALMOST cried just because of looking at his face in that scene! daaaammmnnn ashton you stole my heart!), and it makes me want a guy who will do the same thing to me, huhuhuhuuuww...
4. DISTURBIA

Ummm... good but not that special. impressive but not that magnificent. in conclusion : a thriller which is not that thrilling, because i still put panic room as my standard of thriller (which may be too high :D ). the idea is pretty good : the boredom of a teenage home-prisoner who found it fun to do "spy-ur-neighbor"-ing that led him to danger just because he accidentally found out that one of his neighbors was a serial killer. one thing that impressed me much about this movie is the gadgets, especially the home-prisoner-detector which was used on his ankle, whose lamp will stay green when the prisoner is at home. when the prisoner is out of the houseyard, the lamp will be turned to red and the police will be alarmed at the same time. cool! havent seen any of them in indonesia nor malaysia :P
5. THE LOVE GURU

ok, i have to admit that before watching this movie, i expected too much and underestimated it at the same time. well, i had high expectation for this movie since this is mike myers' and he's well-known for producing good funny movies. at the same time, i underestimated this movie because after seeing the trailer, i was thinking that this movie would end up as a movie with disgusting sexist jokes (come on, it has jessica alba in it!). sooo, after watching the movie, now i can say that i was totally wrong. wrong in both the high expectation and the underestimation. this movie did not end up as a movie with disgusting sexist jokes, altho the main point was about the struggle of guru pitka as a love guru to bring a hockey player named darren roanoke back together with his wife, stephanie, who left him just because of another hockey player who got bigger 'thing' (uh damn, you know what i mean) named "le-coq" grande without having him to have bigger 'thing', hahaha. really, at first i thought those kinda stuff would go disgustingly just like, lets say, superbad. but i was wrong, this movie really made me laugh because of the jokes. and believe me, justin timberlake played really good here as "le-coq" grande. altho i admire him so damn much in the real life, i could hate him so damn much too when i watched him in this movie. it rarely happens to me, because everytime my favorite actor becomes the antagonist one in a movie, i'm still on his side, but not this time. wow. good job then, JT!
6. JUMPER

i have one word to describe this movie : DAMN! this movie is just DAMN cool, DAMN impressive, DAMN amazing! there is no such bad side or good side in this movie. no antagonist nor protagonist. and the story, uh wow, my heart could not stop beating quickly in those 90 minutes. the ending is unpredictable for me, since both sides (jumpers and paladins) are equally strong. your eyes will also love this movie because the director really knew how to capture all of the cities at their excellent angles, while the special effects used are just breathtaking. i believe that having a story about people who can go anywhere they want in this world in just a blink of an eye (that's why they are called jumpers, they can just 'jump' everywhere they wanna go!) would cost such a bomb, but the dollars spent for this movie were just really worth it. a must-seen movie for those who love sci-fi! for those who fall for full-of-intrict-love-drama, erhm, this movie is definitely not in your rack. ohhh one more, hayden christensen, you ROCK, MAN!! :D
7. DEFINITELY, MAYBE

oh gosh, this is such a goooood movie. the story started when maya (played beautifully by abigail breslin) asked her dad, william hayes (the sweetheart ryan reynolds) how he and her mom met. instead of telling her the usual story, will told her his lifetime love story which included three girls and asked his daughter to guess which one her mom was. unlike any usual romantic drama i've ever watched before, this movie has unpredictable ending. the quotes are just so inspiring that i have an idea to put some of them in this blog someday, or even write a post about it. definitely, maybe :P
as you can see, i didnt rent any indonesian movies. not because i dont love local products, i have a lot of them in my harddisk, trust me. i decided not to rent any of it because i can download them from youtube and i think i can download them during my facebook-and-friendster-checking-routine, so i allocate the money for renting more movies that i cannot download from youtube. hmm, maybe i will give some reviews of them in this blog. MAYBE :)
well, i still have one month of holiday to go, gotta rent more dvds then. more reviews coming up, soon! :)

fun fun FUUN! :D

hey and ho for everyone,
puuufffhhh, it's been a very berry long time that i haven't touched this blog, even looked at its contents. ok pals, no worries, i think i enjoy my holiday so much that i forgot about the existency of this blog, hahaha. but dont expect too much, altho the holiday has been going for almost one month, i dont have any magnificent holiday stories to tell except the fact that i TOTALLY ENJOY being surrounded by my bestpals n fammie ^^
like just what i had yesterday, i had A LOT OF FUN doing two hours of karaoke with my besties of all time : tyaz, rija, and alpi. unfortunately, damara cudnt join us because she suddenly had some interviews to do for her assignments (this is one reason why i always hate assignment, eventhough it's not mine :D ), altho we felt like something missing during our karaoke session, we still feel everything's fine because we know that we still have A LOT of time together, five of us, later :)
i forgot the playlist of our karaoke, but i remembered that we sang rihanna - umbrella (altho we found that it was a bit hard to sing the jay-z part :D), jason mraz - i'm yours, andra and the backbone - hitamku, sind3ntosca - kepompong, lily allen - smile, the corrs - breathless, ST12 - puspa, glenn fredly feat audy - terpesona, maroon 5 - this love, maroon 5 - sunday morning, project pop - bukan superstar, di3va - a lotta love, and others. so sad we didnt find hikayat cinta at that time *LOL*
hmm, enough with those talking, just look at the pics and feel the enjoyment :) ooohh one sec, dont blame on me because of giving you all those dark pics, i have used flash on it but it still didnt work, so lame that the room is too dark! hahaha, still, enjoy :) thanks anyway to rija for allowing me to use the camera on her phone, lafyaaaa hunnn :D







last but not least for damara, alpi, tyaz, n rija :
c'mon guys, i still have that one-hour-free-of-karaoke-voucher, i'm waiting for your calls! gyahahaha

pacaran sebelum nikah vs pacaran setelah nikah IN MY OWN OPINION

tanggal 28 kemaren, ada temen gw waktu SMA yang nikah (anaaa, once again congrats yaah, hehehe) dan juga pas tanggal itu juga, gw ngumpul buat buka puasa bareng di midvalley sama erla en dhito, temen2 SMA gw yang juga kuliah disini. waktu itu, erla sampe ngomong berkali2 "wahh temen kita ada yang nikah nih hari ini!" dengan nada engga percaya. ya jelas rada engga percaya lah, she's still 19 years old, for God's sake. gw aja umur segini masih belum beres juga ngurusin diri sendiri, boro2 ngurus suami. hihihi. engga bisa dibandingin kali yaa gw sama ana, kita mah jauuuhhh *malu sendiri.
waktu gw tau ana mau nikah, gw juga kaget pada awalnya, walopun sebenernya sih ini bukan hal baru buat gw. directly setelah lulus kemaren, temen gw, nana diana, juga merit. bisa dibilang, udah jadi rahasia umum kalo ada beberapa ukhti2 (gw bilang disini 'ukhti', bukan 'cewek'. ngerti bedanya kan ya?) alumni SMA  1 yang abis lulus langsung nikah muda. senior2 kita juga banyak yang kayak gitu, pas lulus trus dipinang sama akhi yang selisih umurnya lumayan (sekitar 5-6 tahun lahh) yang udah kerja dan mapan. ehh tapi jangan salah, bukan berarti setelah merit para ukhti itu trus jadi ibu rumah tangga yang kerjaannya bersih2 rumah, ngurus suami dan anak doang ya, mereka tetep ngelanjutin kuliah lho. prestasi mereka bagus malah. emang sih, ada yang bilang kalo merit bisa jadi motivasi hidup kita juga.
nahhh yang mau gw bahas disini...
bagaimana dengan gw?
eiiittss jangan mikir kalo gw mau meratapi kejombloan gw lagi yahh. ahahaha. gw juga tau banyak banget yang udah bosen tiap kali gw ngebahas masalah kejombloan gw. engga kok, tenang aja. kali ini gw mau ngebahas masalah pacaran sebelum dan sesudah nikah. jangan salah lagi, gw engga mungkin ngebahas tentang ini dari sudut pandang agama. gw nyadar kok ilmu agama gw masih cetek banget, huehehe. gw mau ngebahas masalah kebingungan gw dan pendapat gw aja. moga2 engga bikin masalah en ini bukan SARA ya.
para akhi dan ukhti macam ana dan mas taufik (suaminya), nana diana dan suaminya (sori gw lupa namanya, hehehe) itu jelas dua pasang dari sekian banyak yang mengamalkan pacaran setelah nikah. mereka juga bilang kalo pacaran setelah nikah itu seru, asyik, dan yang jelas lebih tenang di hati karena halal (sekadar ngingetin ato sekalian ngasih tau buat yang belom tau, pacaran itu kan sebenernya engga boleh di agama Islam, karena bisa mengundang zina). jadi yaa kayak yang di film ayat-ayat cinta yang bikin banyak orang jadi pengen merit itu, setelah perkenalan alias ta'aruf, paling ngobrol2 aja, trus merit deh.
naahh, buat gw sendiri, gw masih bingung untuk milih pacaran sebelum ato setelah nikah. kalo untuk pacaran setelah nikah, jujur gw ngerasa blom siap untuk itu. kalo kayak ana-mas taufik ato nana diana, jelas mereka siap untuk itu dan bisa dibilang sifat dan kelakuan mereka masuk kategori 'sangat baik' (secara engga ada yang sempurna kan, hehe) jadi kecil kemungkinan buat mereka untuk nemuin ganjalan-ganjalan dalam pernikahan, paling kerikil-kerikil kecil aja yang jelas engga mengganggu pernikahan mereka, secara mereka apa-apanya selalu ngikut anjuran Islam. lahh kalo gw? definitely i still have a long long way road to go kalo gw mau punya sifat dan kelakuan kayak mereka. altho bisa dibilang kelakuan gw engga parah juga, cuma kalo untuk pacaran setelah nikah, kayaknya gw masih belum bisa. gw masih perlu kenal sama calon suami gw, and i think it will take a couple of years for me to know him and make sure that he's the right one for me, yaahh meskipun engga lama2 banget kalii secara bisa2 bonyok gw udah ribut minta cucu ^^. gitu juga sebaliknya, calon suami gw juga jelas kudu ngenalin gw dulu dong sebelum nikah. emang sih, insya Allah pacarannya kita ini engga keluar dari jalur agama, gw sendiri juga masih mikir dosa kali yaa, hhehe. selain itu, takutnya, kalo gw belum begitu kenal sama calon suami gw trus udah keburu merit aja, gw takut pernikahan gw engga bakalan bertahan lama alias berakhir di perceraian gara2 kita belum begitu saling kenal satu sama lain dan istilahnya 'kaget' begitu gw tau ternyata suami gw kok begini, begitu juga suami gw kaget waktu tau gw kok ternyata begitu, jadinya begini-begitu *halahhh*. tapi emang lamanya waktu pacaran kayak gini engga bisa jadi patokan yaa secara ada yang pacarannya ampe bertahun2 trus nikah eh akhirnya cerai juga. tapi engga tau kenapa, apa mungkin karena udah jadi anggapan masyarakat kalo pacaran itu buat mengenal calon pasangan kita sebelum nikah, termasuk ortu gw (mereka juga pacarannya aja lama banget, ampe 6 tahun. heran gw, tahan gitu ya. engga kepengen cepetan nikah atopun engga didesak2 sama eyang gw gitu), jadinya mau engga mau image kayak gitu lah yang tercetak di otak gw.
tapiii, apalagi setelah ngeliat pernikahannya ana en mas taufik, gw juga jadi ngerasa pengen ngerasain pacaran setelah nikah. ya kayak yang udah gw kasi tau di awal tadi, gw juga pengen ngerasain tenang di hati secara kalo pacaran setelah nikah kan udah halal, dah gitu banyak juga yang bilang kita lebih ngerasain indahnya cinta kalo udah nikah. meskipun gw engga pake jilbab dan kelakuan gw kadang masih blangbentong engga karuan, gw juga tetep mau ngikutin anjuran agama gw kali. udah gitu mau 'ngapa-ngapain' juga terserah tanpa takut dosa (hayaaaa, pasti mikirnya udah macem-macem kaaan, hihihi) cuma ya itu, gw ngerasa kayaknya gw belum siap, dan gw tau banget, mutusin untuk pacaran setelah nikah itu perlu kesiapan mental yang luar biasa. perlu kemampuan adaptasi yang luar biasa cepat juga secara kita bakalan hidup bersama orang yang mungkin kita sendiri belum begitu tau sifat dan kebiasaannya gimana. makanya gw salut banget sama mereka2 yang sanggup ngelakuinnya.

hmmmm, ada yang mau ikut nimpalin??

ps: FYI kakak sepupu gw pernah ngeramal gw dan dia yakin banget kalo gw cuma pacaran sekali trus nikah. dan dia udah berkali2 ngeramal selalu tepat. hihihi, percaya engga percayaaaa ^^

yangkung oh yangkung

minal aidin wal faidziiin, maapkeun lahir dan batiiinn....
maap buat blogreaders dan blogwalkers skalian yang kenal sama gw, suka baca tulisan gw, kalo2 gw bikin salah baik secara langsung maupun lewat tulisan di blog, tolong dimaapkan yaahh, hehehe. makacii

hmm sebelumnya gw mau cerita pengalaman lebaran gw di jogja kampung halaman tercinta yang cuma gw datangi selama seminggu *huhuhuuuwww engga cukuuuppp liburnaaa*, jadi maap buat temen2 yang engga sempet dikabari, hehehe.
jadii seperti lebaran2 sebelumnya, tiap hari lebaran pertama, gw sekeluarga alias bokap, nyokap, adek gw, dan - pastinya - gw, selalu silaturahmi ke rumah mertuanya adek nyokap yang pertama ato bisa juga dibilang mertuanya om gw, secara kakek-nenek gw alias ortunya bokap dan yangkung-yangti gw alias ortunya nyokap udah engga ada semua. selain itu, kita juga deket sama mertuanya om gw itu plus keluarganya, jadi kita oke2 aja main ke rumah mereka, yang kebetulan masih di jogja juga, tepatnya di wonosari.
sepulang dari silaturahmi itu, gw ngomong ke bokap gw kalo gw mau ngeliat jalan baru di wonosari yang dikasih nama sama kayak yangkung gw : jalan ir.darmakum darmokusumo. gw kekeuh pokoknya sebelum balik ke malay lagi, gw kudu foto di depan plang jalannya. wakakaka. norak abes.
naahh, berbekal petunjuk ala kadarnya dari om gw ("pokoknya cari bunderan, trus ikut jalan menuju ringroad, terus aja, ntar ketemu perempatan, nahh salah satu jalan di perempatan itu jalan darmakum darmokusumo"), kita sekeluarga pun langsung tancap gas dengan semangat.
sayangnya, sang driver yang terhormat alias bokap gw dengan pedenya ngambil jalan lain. si nyokap yang udah ngebilangin si bokap untuk ngikut aja instruksi dari om gw tetep aja dibales dengan jawaban "udaaaahh tenang ajaaaa, yang penting kan nyampe ringroad"
trusss sampelah kita di ringroad dan si bokap pun mulai ngikutin jalan itu sampe nemu perempatan. naaaahhh sampe disinilah kita mulai bingung. kata om gw sih  jalan darmakum darmokusumo itu ada di perempatan pertama, kok dari empat jalan di sana yang ada plangnya cuma jalan mgr. sugiyo pranoto, tiga jalan lainnya engga ada plangnya. ya udah, kita telpon lah si om tercinta, nanya kalo dari jalan mgr.sugiyo pranoto, jalan darmakum darmokusumo itu sebelah mananya. ehh ternyata om gw jawab kalo pas dia cari jalan itu, dia engga pake ketemu sama jalan mgr. sugiyo pranoto. nah loh. berarti kan dengan kata lain kita nyasar. ya udah berbekal pengetahuan bokap gw yang seadanya tentang daerah wonosari, kita pun menyusuri salah satu jalan di antara perempatan itu, jalan yang belok kiri dari jalan mgr. sugiyo pranoto, trus di jalan itu ketemulah kita sama kantor polisi. akhirnya bokap mutusin untuk mampir ke kantor polisi itu buat silaturahmi sekalian ngasih kue lebaran, trus ngaku kalo bokap gw pernah nyolong mangga di rumah tetangga gw.... YA ENGGAKLAH! bokap gw nanya ke bapak polisi di sana, jalan darmakum darmokusumo itu sebenernya di mana.
setelah sekitar lima belas menitan nunggu di dalem mobil sambil ngemil kue lapis surabaya yang dikasih sama tante gw (no wonder gw jadi lebih gendut setelah lebaran, dikasih kue sana-sini sih, huihihi) bareng nyokap en adek, bokap gw masuk lagi ke dalem mobil sambil senyum sumringah, "kita udah deket kok! tinggal ikutin jalan ini aja, trus nanti di ujung jalan ini keliatan" kata bokap gw dengan optimisnya. ya udah, kita pun ngikutin anjuran pak polisi. ternyata oh ternyata, jalan yang kita susurin sedari tadi ini panjaaaaaang banget, sampe akhirnya kita sampai di perempatan. huaaa langsung seneng kita. kita optimis banget pasti jalan darmakum darmokusumo itu di perempatan ini, bukan perempatan yang tadi.
sayangnya, perkiraan kita semua salah. ga ada satupun dari empat jalan itu yang berplang jalan darmakum darmokusumo. mulailah si bokap gambling lagi. dari jalan yang panjaaaaaaang tadi, kita belok kanan, trus kita nemu kantor dinas-something gitu, gw sendiri engga begitu merhatiin karena gw udah kebelet pipis akut. akhirnya bokap gw mutusin untuk berhenti di sana, nanya jalan ke orang yang jaga di sana skalian gw numpang pipis. pas gw selesai pipis, gw balik ke mobil dan disambut senyum lebar bokap gw yang terus bilang "ternyata jalan darmakum darmokusumo itu di perempatan tadi, put! dari sini trus belok kiri!" yawda, setelah berdoa moga2 instruksi kali ini engga salah lagi, kita pun tancap gas.
tepat di perempatan, kita berempat bingung lagi. katanya belok kiri, mana? kok ga ada plang jalannya? jadilah bokap gw turun dari mobil dan tanya ke penjual mi di sana. setelah agak lama nanyanya, bokap gw balik lagi ke mobil. kali ini engga sambil senyum, tapi sambil ketawa.
"kok ketawa2 kenapa pah?" adek gw bingung.
"ternyata ini emang jalan darmakum darmokusumo, cuma jalan ini belum dibikinin plang, baru diresmiin aja." jawab si bokap sambil cengar-cengir.
adek gw langsung ber-"owalaaaaahhh" sementara gw udah mau pingsan. gile aja luuuu, udah muter2 sampe hampir satu setengah jam begini, gw ga dapet foto cengiran gw di depan jalan darmakum darmokusumo??? wahh engga bener ini, ENGGA BENER!!huhuhuhu
akhirnya karena kasian sama gw, bokap gw ngasih inisiatif "coba kita susurin jalan ini aja, siapa tau di ujung jalan satunya udah ada plangnya"
ya udah, dengan hati yang masih maknyus sebel dengan departemen perhubungan yang pelit banget belum juga kasih plang di jalan darmakum darmokusumo, gw ngangguk aja dengan tawaran dari bokap gw. sampe di ujung jalan satunya, ternyata masih belum ada plangnya juga.
gw pun ngomel2 "padahal jalan mgr. sugiyo pranoto situ aja udah dikasih plang lho! mosok jalan darmakum darmokusumo belum, sama-sama jalan baru ini!"
si bokap langsung nanya "hah? sugiyo pranoto situ mana?"
dengan nyantai gw langsung jawab "tuh, belok kanan kan jalan mgr. sugiyo pranoto."
si bokap langsung shock, "HAH????"
gw juga langsung nyadar "wehh, iya ya...."
si ucrit adek gw ikut nimpalin "ya ampun..."
sementara nyokap gw yang ketiduran selama perjalanan kita tadi langsung bangun trus nimpalin "hah? hah? kenapa?" (adek gw en gw : GUBRAK!)




TERNYATA SEDARI TADI KITA INI SUDAH DI JALAN DARMAKUM DARMOKUSUMOOOOOOO
pantesan pas gw nyusurin jalan darmakum darmokusumo buat ke ujung jalan satunya untuk nyari plang itu, dalem hati gw ngebatin, kok jalannya panjang banget ya... kayak jalan yang tadi... ehhh ternyata ini emang jalan yang sama dengan yang kita susurin waktu tadi nemu kantor polisi... dan dudulnya, pas kita nyusurin jalan itu untuk kedua kalinya untuk nyari plang, ga ada satupun dari kita yang nyadar kalo kita ngelewatin kantor polisi yang tadi, secara kita semua konsen untuk nyari plang jalan dan si bokap udah ngebut ala too fast too furious : wonosari drift.



huhuhu, yangkuuung yangkung
nasip nasip, sekalinya nama dijadiin nama jalan kok ya ndak ada plangnyah!
*langsung baca al-fatihah buat almarhum


ps : kita sekeluarga baru nyadar pas udah nyampe rumah, kalo dalam instruksi om gw engga ada kata2 "ntar disitu ada PLANG JALAN TULISANNYA JALAN DARMAKUM DARMOKUSUMO." dia cuma bilang kalo "nahh, itu jalan darmakum darmokusumo". iya kan??? hahahhaa. paraaahhh parahh.
