NO WOMAN CAN BE SO STRONG

Guys, right now I'm harping on my experience climbing Mount Gede - Surya Kencana - Mount Putri , Bogor, West Java for 4D 3N. But I'm telling you stories in Indonesian, so I hope google translate can help you guys :)

Seminggu yang lalu, tepatnya hari Sabtu, 15 Oktober 2011, tiba-tiba saja aku mendapati diriku sendiri berada di luar tenda yang didirikan di tengah padang edelweiss bersama 4 orang lainnya: Ka Berry, Ka Taqim, Ka Mamat, Nana. Malam itu purnama, dan sangat sangat sangat cerah. Bintang berserakan di langit yang hitam kelam tersebut. Terlihat sungguh kontras. Tumbuh besar di tengah kota yang terbiasa melihat malam disinari cahaya lampu membuatku ga pernah mengira kalau ternyata bulan dan bintang mampu menyinari malam yang kelam dengan cara yang sangat tidak bisa dijelaskan. Keberadaanya di tengah padang Edelweiss membuat cahayanya terlihat sangat cantik dan sederhana, namun berdaya magis.

Aku bisa mencapai Padang Edelweiss Surya Kencana tersebut melalui pendakian yang cukup melelahkan dan memakan waktu 1 hari. Kami berangkat hari Kamis malam ke Bogor, pendakian ke Gunung Gede dimulai pada hari Jumat, dan turun melalui Gunung Putri hari Minggu. Walaupun ini pendakian pertamaku, aku sangat menikmati setiap langkah yang aku lalui karena, entahlah, aku menyukai diriku sendiri berada di tengah hutan. Bagi sebagian orang, menulis, menyanyi, bermain musik, atau jalan-jalan ke mall adalah bentuk pelarian diri. Tapi buatku, berjalan dikelilingi pohon-pohon di tengah hutan adalah bentuk pelarian yang sesungguhnya. Karena saat itu terjadi, aku sedang benar-benar melarikan diri. Aku jauh dari peradaban, dari orang-orang sekelilingku (either mereka yang menyayangi atau membenciku), dari permasalahanku, dan dari diriku sendiri yang biasa dikenal orang lain :)

Setiap langkah pendakianku adalah perenunganku terhadap diriku sendiri. Ajang yang tepat untuk melihat lebih dalam tentang siapa aku sebenarnya dan untuk apa aku berada di dunia ini. Terdengar berlebihan ? Itu pendapatmu :)

Well, mungkin kamu memang mempunyai ketahanan fisik yang kuat saat melakukan pendakian tersebut. Tapi aku sendiri belajar bahwa modal fisik saja tidak cukup. Kesabaran, kerjasama, dan kemampuan untuk saling memahami satu sama lain adalah poin penting yang aku pelajari.

Sebagai seorang wanita, melakukan pendakian bersama 3 orang pria yang berpengalaman dalam mendaki bukanlah hal mudah. Ada perasaan membebani mereka akibat kekuatan fisik yang jauh berbeda. Ada perasaan tidak berguna saat mereka menunjukkan kepiawaian mereka dalam menyediakan hidangan karena aku sendiri bahkan terlalu lelah untuk mengedipkan mata, apalagi untuk memasak. Ada perasaan merepotkan karena bahkan untuk mencuci peralatan bekas makan saja aku ga sanggup. Aku ga bermaksud membela diri, tapi ini adalah kali pertama aku merasakan diriku sendiri diperlakukan sebagai seorang wanita yang lemah.

Untuk sebagian orang, dianggap lemah adalah hal yang paling menyebalkan. Namun bagiku, ini adalah hal yang istimewa dan romantis yang pernah aku rasakan. Orang-orang mengenalku sebagai sosok yang independen, berani, kuat, dan apapun itu yang intinya adalah satu, tidak butuh pertolongan pria. Aku tidak menyalahkan mereka yang menilaiku seperti itu. Kebetulan saja selama ini aku mampu mengambil peran-peran strategis diantara teman-teman priaku. Tapi kali ini tidak, aku senang sekali saat pada akhirnya ada pria, yang meski hanya 3 orang, mampu melihat sisi lemahku, melihat sisi dari aku yang tidak bisa berbuat apa-apa. Aku senang sekali !

Hm, dilabeli sebagai sosok wanita yang kuat adalah sebuah privilege. Tapi adalah sebuah keistimewaan juga saat kami diperlakukan sebagai wanita yang tetap membutuhkan bantuan pria. Mungkin kami mengaku "tidak apa-apa", tapi itu adalah kebohongan besar karena sebetulnya sesuatu yang buruk sedang kami alami. Aku beruntung karena pada saat pendakian, aku ditemani oleh 3 pria yang begitu memahami kelemahanku dan mau serta mampu memperlakukan aku sebagai seorang wanita yang lemah.

Mungkin mereka tidak merasa demikian. Tapi teh panas yang mereka seduh, indomi rebus yang mereka masak, nasi yang mereka tanak, roti coklat yang mereka buat, kantung tidur terhangat yang mereka pinjamkan, jaket hangat yang mereka relakan untuk aku kenakan, air yang mereka ambil di mata air nun jauh di bawah lembah, bahu untuk bersandar saat lelah, dan tas berat berisi pakaianku yang mereka bawakan adalah hal teristimewa dan teromantis yang pernah aku rasakan. Entahlah, diperlakukan lemah adalah sesuatu yang aku sukai :)

Aku berterima kasih karena ini kali pertama aku merasa lemah tanpa perlu merasa kecil hati. Akupun menyadari bahwa sesungguhnya aku tidak sekuat yang aku kira :)

Anyway, sebetulnya masih banyak pelajaran yang ingin aku bagikan disini. Tapi rasanya tidak adil kalau keromantisan tadi ditimpa oleh cerita-cerita yang sepertinya lebih layak dijadikan catatan kaki saja. Aku hanya akan menambahkan beberapa foto pendakian kemarin.

LETTER FOR HATER(S) ON TWITTER

Gawd !! I almost lost my blog account ! And again for the same mistake : forgot the password. Idiotic. But then, through so many steps to get my account back, here I am !!

Off to main topic, I'm gonna share about HATER


Hater oh hater. Their existences are so bugging our lives. What is hater ? Well, based on my experience, Hater is someone who is envious and jealous of others's achievement and have no idea what she/he has to do to beat the one they consider as his/her competitor (sometimes the one s/he hates doesnt consider her/him as someone who deserves to be competed with) but terrorize through medias like twitter, facebook, etc ; make our back has a sudden dual function as a voicemail ; humiliate ; and sooooo many idiotic and pathetic things that so irresponsible. 

Living this life in this age is so interesting, or I can say, very challenging. A very bright future is coming closer and even closer to us. Those who have a big probability to get that bright future are those who know which path they should go through and take every risks on it. Even if they dont know where they should go, they still realize that they need help and ask people around. Always learn from their own mistakes and from people around. They face competition and put shirt on it. And will receive and treat themselves as a winner or loser wisely. They make friends with everyone with no exception cause they believe by doing good deeds to everyone will create a positive impacts for their lives. BUT, in fact, those who have done these still have one little more interference which come to their path and can't stop bugging : HATERS.

Really, I dont consider myself as someone who has done things above. So many things I have to learn from this life to get a bright future. I just know that I deserve it because everyone is worthy of success. And I fight for it everyday.

Well, this is my blah experiences to see such a bully words on someone's twitter and this is just make me sure how low her personality is and how pathetic coward she is. I'm really sorry and sad for her. I've tried to talk to her, to meet her face to face to finish all the problems she thought she had it in me, but she refused it and I think it's because she had no any braveness to meet me and discuss about how she spreaded freedom of speech on twitter. I just hope oneday she can realizes that bullying through every medias are no good and creates a very bad opinion for herself from people around her :(

She is so funny, damn funny. Somedays ago she wrote a very little threat which was intended to someone and I'm afraid it could be me. Day after day she couldnt stop spreading very stupid and irresponsible words which one of them were saying about a religious attributes and, oh, please, this religious attributes weren't clever enough to be spreaded as a sarcastic stuff, believe me. Well, at first I'm not sure whether she wrote it for me or not, but to whoever she wrote that religious attributes, it's already exceeds the acceptable limit. I'm sorry, it's not even funny anymore...

For those who did that, I warn you. Writing a religious attributes can't be tolerated. I feel sorry for you, or in indonesian, aku merasa sangat kasihan terhadap mu. And mark my words,, I cant see something good in you, believe me, after you wrote those religious attributes stuffs. All I can see and even other people see is a pathetic you dear, trust me. You know what, I think everything you've done through twitter and stuffs just make people see inside you more clearly that you have nothing to be proud of on yourself. You keep talking about bad things of people you hate on twitter and that's really poor of you.
 
Dear, believe me. The more you hate someone, the stronger s/he is. The more you hate someone, the poorer you can be. I got nothing left to say but I'm sorry, for myself, I dont consider you as my competitor to reach a bright future. I dont mean to be so braggy or what but after what you've done these long times, I already decided to consider you as a micro dust which comes in a jiff on my path cause wind has flown you over...

Stranger's Love Letter


When the reason I play piano is you...
I play the same song again and again
Just like a broken cassette...
I feel like you sit next to me on the same piano bench...
Lean on my shoulder and enjoy the melody...
I hope you are the you I've been looking for so long...

We both live spread out
But it won't stop me showing my love to you...
I can't hug you, hold your hand tight, hear your voice everyday...
Pinch your cheeks, smell your perfume, see you sweet dimples everyday...
Show my anger face, kick your ass off...
I can't even touch you...

And when the reason I play piano is you
I am the broken cassette...

I hope this song can replace my real existence

For some long times


Till God knows when...

Whenever you read this note,
I Love You...


I Found True Friendship In Dengue Fever :')

Alhamdulillah !! Finally home !!
And why is that ? Why so happy ? Here's the story.........

I was hospitalized at Global Awal Bros Hospital, Kalimalang cause I suffered from Dengue Fever (demam berdarah) and this was my 2nd time. FYI Dengue Fever is caused by viruses that are transmitted by mosquitos. Yea I know I do taekwondo and just because one lil mosquitos's bite, I should be hospitalized for somedays. Very funny.

Earlier story was begun on Wednesday, when I felt damn terrible with my head, bone, stomach and felt pain when rolled my eyes. My head buzzed me lots and so my bone cracked me up. I thought it's a slight cold symptoms or might be my gastritis came out. I was at Rooming House at that time. Then I phoned dad to come and pick me up to college, got my schedule signed by lecturer then went to doctor right after that.

Doctor said I got fever and gave me some meds and a covering letter for blood checks. He said if in 3 days my fever didn't come down, I should get my blood checked .

Not long afterwards, we went home. I had dinner-dad cooked it for me-then took meds after it. In range less than 5 mins, I found my body sweated a lot, and yea...my fever came down.

On Thursday, I felt better. And much more better on Friday. Friends got me in my home, we told our own stories, made a fun each other, mocked up each other and all.

On Saturday, I should attend UKKI's meeting, talking about our next project in new semester and stuffs. Meeting started on 11 am and ended around 1.30 pm. After meeting, we did shalat Dzuhur then had lunch.
While had lunch, my fever came up again !! Dunno why but I suddenly felt DAAAAMMMNNN terrible. Felt sick and all. Then I decided to went home earlier than friends.

Reached home. Put thermometer to my armpit. Damn, it was 39 C. I know shits would happen at that time. Then I asked dad to get my blood checked tomorrow if things didn't work out the way it was supposed to work for me. At night I slept unwell. I was about to take paracetamol but I've ever heard that not all kinda fever might take paracetamol as its meds, such as fever in dengue symptoms.

Morning came, I rose and shone. Again, I put thermometer to my armpit and it came down, 38.5 C. Kidding me ???!!!! It was still unsafe !! I told mom and dad bout it and dad took me to hospital to get my blood checked. We needed 2 hours to get the result. So we decided to send me home and got rest. Dad drove himself again to hospital.

After 3 hours (ya, not 2), dad phoned me to tell that my trombosit number showed abnormal one. Dad said I might get Dengue Fever but then he said he would see a doctor to figure out more. After some times, dad phoned me again to tell mom that me positive got Dengue Fever. YIPPIIIEEEEE !! (yippiieee ?? wtf !!)

That noon without any planning, dad picked us up ( me, mom and bro) to hospital. There, they put me to ER and paired the IV into my hand. Argh, how i hate my body being pierced like that !

I told some friends about my checked in to hospital, and so updated it on twitter and facebook hehee.. Better than spreading sarcastic words right ? Ahem.

After things finished, we moved to first class room, where I'd be hospitalized for some days ahead. Damn boring !!!!!!!!
with my bunny. i'm bored :(

But then, that boredom wasn't as bad as I ever thought. One by one, friends popped out in my room, day by day. At first daym which was Sunday noon, Prilly aka Momo and her friend, Fani visited me. FYI, Momo is my bitch, i mean, my bestest friend ever. Here photo of her visiting
prilly aka momo, fani, me


And again, on the next day, my middle and high school friends popped up there and made a fun on me. They were my bitches Momo and Adel, Tasya, Wilma, Joko, Sandy and Atep. They treated me as I was a-have-no-problem-with-disease-girl. Nice pals !! I did love it !!
momo, adel, me getting crazy on ward
all grown up : momo, wilma, adel, me, joko, sandy, tasya :)




And so little surprised coming from my college friend, my bestie Yana. Love you Yanaaa :)
with Yana :)

And when visiting hours has elapsed, my taekwondo friends still made fun of me by coming on my room. They  were Hafiz aka Jamban, Chandra, and Rio :)
chandra, me and my loyal driver hafiz aka jamban :D
chandra, rio, me. My good boys in taekwondo :)

And so on Tuesday, my college friends killed my boredom by coming in tons visiting and mocking on me !! :D
They were...too many !! Lemme think...  Ka Fajri, Ka Muzakkir, Ka Mario, Imam, Daus, Ryan, Bams, Dito, Adi, Ridwan, Ka Santi, Ka Ezzy, Tiar, Sarah, Fitri, Ratna, and Elvi. Hope I've mentioned them completely :D
big thanks to you guys who have covered miles to visit me :-*
UKKI's ladies :)
UKKI's gentlemen :)



Oh wow, they made my day at hospital ! How lucky I am has the best friends in this world ! Thanks Allah, The Only Lord who always give me happiness and welfare in my life... Thanks to my parents for every supports in my life...
And also thanks to my Aunty Ike, my nephew Vega, my neighbour Tante Kosasih who has given a very efficacious traditional meds, Ankur Shukla who has worried me lots till wanna kill himself hehee, Arief Rahmanudin who has phoned and cared for me, Kamal Tala who has accompanied me even though only by gtalk, Riri my new girl who has accompanied me with her love problem, friends who has wished for my health by twitter or facebook, and all who has cared bout me, hope I was capable to mention you guys one by one :)

I've learnt so many things from this disease. I mean, I got so many moral values about friendship and love... That true friends always stand by us whatever we take. Even when this world comes against us, they give us their shoulder to lean on... I owe you guys... :')

PARTITUR KOSONG (THE EMPTY PARTITUR)



Lewat bertahun-tahun...
Through many years...
Sehelai partitur masih rindu mendengkur
A partitur is still snoring 
Diatas piano uzur
Lying on an old piano

Ingin kutuangkan sejuta inspirasi
Pouring millions of inspirations
Mencoba memainkan melodi
Playing a beautiful melody
Tapi yang kudengar hanya nada sumbang
But it's not better than a discordant music

Tak berharmoni
So toneless


Lewat bertahun-tahun
Through many years
Sehelai partitur tetap mendengkur
A partitur is still snoring
Diatas piano uzur
Lying on an old piano


Waktu memainkan iramaku
The time is directing my rythm
Mengikat jariku hingga ku tak sanggup
Tying up my fingers so I cant
    Menuliskan nada
    Composing my partitur
        Memainkan laguku
        Playing my music
            Mendentingkan pianoku
             Fingering on my piano

Mengosongkan partiturku ....
Letting my partitur emptied

Bahkan Mozart pun takkan sanggup
Neither does Mozart cannot
Menuliskan satu nada pun diatas partiturku
Composing any tone on my partitur
Dan partiturku masih mendengkur
And my partitur is still snoring
Diatas piano uzur...
Lying on an old piano...

Along With My Shadow


Day and night always betray one another
I can't choose which one I prefer
Asking everyone to get the answer
None of them are better

One, two, three
I count every single footstep in my journey
And write all stories on the diary
Bitter like lettuce, sweet like cherry

They think I am alone
While I'm walking along with my shadow

Day and night always betray one another
I shall choose, night is my prefer
Where I find peacefulness and composure
Where my shadow can't be stronger

There's No A Fake Person. There's A High Social Intelligence Person

HELL-O !!! My day was goin busy this week. Well I got a free time now then was feel like writing something here would be great idea to kill my time.

Yesterday i taught Math for Business as the request of the senate. We have a program to hold an additional class for some horrific subjects such as Accounting Principles, Management Accounting, Math for Business, Intermediate Accounting 1 and 2, and Advance Accounting 1 and 2. Last year I taught Accounting Principles as well when it still based on GAAP. But now I refused to hold that class cause I don't have IFRS basic.
Here's some photos of yesterday :




Thanks for clicking me anyway :)

Anyhoooowwww....
My upcoming final exam is on Monday 17th and everytime I think about that I need a time remote and skip those 2 weeks ahead. I’m not ready yet for that. I’ve been a lazy bastard this semester : did too much holidays, spent my scholarship at mall, roled as an epicure and all things a lady must to do !! But I, repentantly say, get myself 2 kg heavier than before. ..My cheeks is ready to blow up.

I don’t know why even tough I’m a lazy bastard I still got a good GPA at college…
1st semester : 3.74 over 4
2nd semester : 3.79 over 4
3rd semester : 3.24 over 4 (getting lower but I got a great parents here. No one nag on me)
4th semester : 3.6 over 4
5th semester : my midtest warned me to prepare for the worst :p

Friends keep asking me how could I get those GPA and got the scholarship as well ! They never saw me studying, even caught me sleeping when the class was going…

Was that a luck ?

I don’t think so……

For me, study hard isn’t a good idea for myself. I hate when I have to go to college library, sitting alone on the bench and freezing to death.

If I allowed to make a term of the way I study, I would say it as study smart.

Haters say it as “fake person” or “hypocrisy”, but Experts say it as “High Social Intelligence Person”. That’s what I’ve implemented to get what I want either in social life or others. I always learn someone’s character and gotta describe him/her only in 5 minutes in intial acquaintanceship to take control the circumstance. If I flopped, I should control myself not to show the real I am. I never show my card before they show me first.
I judge the book by its cover ? No. I mean, I am not alone, people does as well.

So what have I implemented with those theories above in my real life, at college in this case ?
One of my lecturer ever told me “If you wanted to graduate swiftly, study hard wasn’t a solution. You should study your lecturer’s character.”

If you caught those sentence literally, didn’t he mean that you should be a licker ? For me, the answer is hell no. People can guess easily whether he’s licking or not. Being a licker isn’t what a smart person does. So, what I’ve caught from the advice above was “You could win, even controlling everyone’s attention or feeling if you had something astonishing, mystifying to distinguish yourself with others…”

Then what are those astonishing mystifying thingies ? Well it’s not that cool, I put those words just to overrate :p

Nothing special, I do :
  1. Joining in college’s senate, since 2 years ago
This, damn help me out to get good links and expand my social circles. By joining in college’s organization, it allows me to meet with campus officials and I’m talking about the top level : Lecturers, Professors, and Rector. This is a great opportunity to show my existence over thousands student colleges in there.

  1. Reading books, comics, newspaper, advertisements, job vacancies, adult magazines, read everything !

Showing my existence with nothing inside my head is similar to suicide. God has bestowed us a superb sophisticated brain to be filled with billions useful and unuseful informations. So I love to enrich myself with many literatures even it brings me to hell bored. It helps me much to be in to many kind of conversations from many ages. And so to be involved in every discussion lifted by the lecturer in the class. I'm sure my lecturer really take into account every participation of the students in every discussion he presented. But when I couldn’t follow the conversations or discussions, I could be a good listener though.

  1. Putting lipstick on my lips

Every mankind in general, love to hear their grandeur being discussed and praised by others. But it’s not easy to do this if you don’t know how to do it properly. You think you’ve won your lecturer’s heart, your lecturer stamped “LICKER” on your forehead. Never use excessive words while u’re praising your lecture and don’t do it while the class is going

  1. Have another fascinating activities outside college


This damn help you much to get a plus value ! I do taekwondo and band, unusual things for a girl with scarf on her head :) . I think those 2 help me look (more) awesome. I got a chance to show it (cause I join in senate, not hard to get this chance) and the result was one of my lecture wants me to teach her kids taekwondo and my rector loves my piano playing :) .


  1. Smile even when u’re down

To every civitas academica : students, faculties, and staffs ! No doubt that a sincere smile is a great weapon to win everyone’s heart !

  1. Don’t you underestimate a chit chat

Chit chat is an art. An high social intelligence person can make a lil chit chat becomes a memorable chat. By asking how are you, how can I help you (although you don’t really wanna help them), you looking fabulous today (but I’m much more fabulous than you) will make them remind you as a kind-hearted person (lol). And again, I cant give you more suggestions cause I do it naturally….

7. Studying

 Okay. Now i'm in my lecture's heart. But I still got C for his/her subject. Then I still have to go to the library, sitting alone on the bench, and freezing to death.

8. Praying 

I do pray 5 times a day, read Qur'an and all. God works in His own way... We wanna win people's heart ?? Learn how to win God's heart !

Well, those all what I’ve done. But, I still couldn’t win some of my lecturer’s heart. No wonder coz they’re The Big Three in my college. At least, they would glance their eyes to me as they passed at me in hall and smile back at me in which only a few people could get this.
