This is why i love my Niece so much!




Alkisah, tadi jam 8.00 malam, Teteh, A Iman, dan Echie makan malam di rumah. Terus Echie, keponakanku yang lucu itu mau pup. Gue tungguin sambil belajar MPBI (Metode Pengukuran Bakat dan Inteligensi), duduk di depan pintu kamar mandi. Dia ngelihat Handouts MPBI gue, dia pinjam tuh.. Mau baca katanya. Sambil baca-baca handoutsnya, terjadilah percakapan singkat nan lucu.

Echie: Mereka ini siapa bi neng?

Gue: Mereka ini tokoh-tokoh yang me.. me.. me.. (nyari kata-kata yang pas ceritanya)

Echie: (masih sambil ngebaca handouts, dan dengan nada penuh selidik) MENGGALI HATI bi neng?

Gue: ........ Speechless.


Coba ya.. Kenapa musti yang keluar kata-kata "Menggali hati"???? Oh God.. Terharu deh ih.. Punya keponakan yang sadar akan kondisi hati bibinya.. :))

When The Technology has intruded your life

Have you ever think about how different your life would be if there wasn't any technology in this world?

Today my WiFi router was broken down. I don't know what happened but it didn't work at all. I suddenly started to think, what if those people before us had never invented the telephone and all communication tools (internet is one of them)?

Back then, before we know something called "internet", we were fine, we could read, watch movies, hang out with friends, get closer to our families, etc. But now, after we know the communication tools which name is "internet", we're like an outsider from our relatives. We became too dependable with those internet things. And sometimes, we don't know which one is the reality and which one is not.

I'm not saying that internet is giving bad influence to our lifes. Internet gives us lots of positive things such as networking, long distance yet fast communication, get in touch with old friends, etc. All i'm saying is, we can't be too dependent to this thing. We need to realise that there's still this real world waiting for us to do something for it. Do something for ourself and for the people around us. Like nowadays, i can't finish the book that i've read since a year ago, i can't do my school work, i can't do the work-out thingy, etc. Maybe it's not completey the internets fault. Some part of it is my fault. I'm letting myself to be dependent to the internet. I'm letting myself to be intruded by the internet.

I don't know what's gonna happen when the internet all over the world was shut down. In my imagination, there would be some chaos on earth. Lol. Sounds funny when i write this, but might not be funny when it's happened :p.

Anyway.. I'm not gonna blame anybody who use internet too much and i'm not gonna blame the internet either. I'm just putting out these thought from my head.. :D So.. For you who read this, be cool to the internet, use it properly, and just remember, the reality is here for us and waiting for us to do something. :)

Have fun! :)

P.S. Sorry for the mistake on my writings. Still learning the English.. Be happy to correct it.. :D

Alien di Kampus Sendiri

Saat ini saya duduk di semester 8, di fakultas Psikologi UI. Seharusnya pada semester ini saya sudah tidak harus kuliah di dalam kelas lagi. Seharusnya, kalau dari awal lancar, saya sudah bisa fokus ke skripsi. Namun, dikarenakan satu dan lain hal, saya terpaksa mengambil beberapa matakuliah lagi. Miris memang, disaat teman-teman saya sudah banyak yang "non-class" dan lulus, saya masih harus mengambil 5 matakuliah. Tapi apa boleh buat... :p

Saya bersama teman saya, Mhie, mengambil 2 mata kuliah yang sama. Pada beberapa mata kuliah yang lain saya masih "ditemani" oleh beberapa orang lagi anak angkatan saya (2006). Pada saat saya memasuki kelas Enterpreneurial siang ini, saya dan Mhie pun agak sedikit terkejut karena tidak tampak tanda-tanda anak angkatan saya (2006) atau angkatan "tua" lainnya yang duduk di kelas tersebut. Sebagai informasi, kelas Enterpreneurial adalah kelas pilihan yang mayoritas isinya adalah anak angkatan 2008 (dan diantara mereka tidak ada yang saya kenal "mengobrol", hanya satu orang saja). Sampai ketika dosen masuk, saya tetap hanya berdua saja sama Mhie (yang notabene angkatan "tua"). Saya pikir, "ah, nanti mudah-mudahan akan ada anak yang datang lagi...".

Akhirnya dosen saya pun mengabsen. Nama saya dipanggil pertama kali karena pengurutan daftar absensi berdasarkan NPM (nomor mahasiswa). Setelah saya, Mhie dipanggil. Setelah nama Mhie dipanggil, langsung ke nama teman-teman 2008!! Yak! Jadilah saya dan Mhie seperti alien di dalam kelas. Kami hanya bisa tertawa terbahak-bahak.

Kejadian ini juga tidak hanya dialami hari ini saja. Pada hari senin, saya masuk ke kelas IPK (Pengembangan kreativitas, untuk semester 2). Waktu saya masuk, saya memang agak telat, semua mahasiswa yang ada di dalam kelas memandang saya dengan muka harap-harap cemas. Mungkin mereka mengira kalau saya adalah dosen yang akan mengajar kelas itu. Hahaha. Saya pun berjalan ke tempat duduk saya di belakang. Saya dengan harap-harap cemas sibuk melihat ke arah pintu masuk, berharap teman saya, ataupun orang yang saya kenal akan masuk. Sampai dosen saya masuk pun, tidak ada satupun yang saya kenal (hanya satu, tapi di samping dia sudah tidak ada tempat duduk)!! Mati. Hahaha. Sang mbak dosen pun bertanya, "ini semua dari semester yang sama kan?" Saya diam membisu. Mbak dosen pun melihat saya dan bertanya, "Kamu?" "delapan mbak" jawab saya tersipu sambil mengacungkan jari. Mahasiswa di depan saya langsung menengok ke belakang dan bertanya "bentar lagi lulus dong kak??" dan saya pun hanya bisa tersenyum "doain aja ya.. :D"

Teman saya berkata kalau angkatan saya sudah langka. Semakin kesini, saya jadi semakin merasa seperti alien di kampus saya sendiri. Ketika saya ke kanlam, yang ada di pikiran saya adalah "ada anak 2006 ga ya?" hahaha. Kalau tidak terlihat, saya pun akan pergi ke perpustakaan, karena pasti mereka berkumpul di sana. LOL.

Failure to launch

No, I'm not gonna talk about the movie.

The title refers to ME. Yes, Me, myself.

I should have (and plan to) graduate this August. But because of my BAD scores on Psychodiagnostic of Children. I won't be graduate on August. Unless my lectuer gives me an extra task, which is will be unfair to my friends.

Actually, i could be graduated on August, IF the passing grades weren't changing! I don't understand with the system in my campus. It changes just like that, on the middle of the term. What the fuck??? Come on! You can't just change the passing grades!! (Well, they can, because they're the authority).

So now, yes, I failed. Maybe some of you were questioning, "so what if you don't graduate this August? You still have another 2 years". I know that i still have extra 2 years. But i don't have skills to be proud of. I'm not like my brother or sister or my friends. The only thing that i could do to make my mother and family proud of me is i graduate on my 4th year.

Besides, i can't be a burden to my mother. She's 60 for godsake! She should be retired and enjoy her life! But no, she's still working, for what? For completing my needs (with a help from my brother and sister of course). I mean if i graduated on August, i could find a job, and at least with my brother and sister, help her with the households needs. But now, I can't do that. I have to wait for another 6 months until i can help her. Thanks to my lousy brain!

*maybe i can find part time job or something like that*

Sorry for my bad english.. :)

a Tribute to My Father

Teringat masa kecilku
Kau peluk dan kau manja
Indahnya saat itu
Buatku melambung
Disisimu terngiang
Hangat nafas segar harum tubuhmu
Kau tuturkan segala mimpi-mimpi
Serta harapanmu

Kau ingin ku menjadi
Yang terbaik bagimu
Patuhi perintahmu
Jauhkan godaan
Yang mungkin kulakukan
Dalam waktuku beranjak dewasa
Jangan sampai membuatku
Terbelenggu jatuh dan terinjak

Reff :
Tuhan tolonglah sampaikan
Sejuta sayangku untuknya
Ku terus berjanji
Tak kan khianati pintanya
Ayah dengarlah betapa sesungguhnya
Ku mencintaimu
Kan ku buktikan ku mampu penuhi maumu

Andaikan detik itu
Kan bergulir kembali
Kurindukan suasana
Basuh jiwaku
Membahagiakan aku
Yang haus akan kasih dan sayangmu
Tuk wujudkan segala sesuatu
Yang pernah terlewati

I miss my Dad..

Tadi pulang dari CITOS, gue naik taksi. Supir taksinya bapak-bapak gitu. Terus di dashboardnya, di deket speedometernya ada foto anak kecil. Kayaknya itu anaknya deh. Gue ga nanya juga sih.. Hehehe. Terus gue mikir, kalo bokap masih ada, mungkin bokap sama nyokap gue yang bakal jemput gue. Yah tapi udah lewatlah ya. I have to accept it no matter what.

Salah ga sih kalo gue terkadang suka iri sama temen-temen gue yang masih bisa pergi bareng sama bokap nyokapnya, ada yang pas nikah, pas siraman, didampingin sama bokap nyokapnya? I'm happy for them. For real. I was just like, gue lebih ke mikir aja sih (berandai-andai). Kalo bokap gue masih ada, mungkin gini, gitu, gini, gitu. Gue sadar kalo bokap gue meninggal itu udah yang terbaik, daripada dia sakit, malah jadi menderita. Tapi terkadang gue suka marah sendiri sama (maaf ya Allah.. Ampuni hambamu ini) Tuhan. Tuhan bisa aja kan nyembuhin bokap gue? Buktinya banyak orang yang udah sekarat, koma, tapi bangun lagi, sehat lagi. I was very angry that time (sampe saat ini sih sebetulnya..). Gue masih suka berpikir kalo Tuhan tuh kadang-kadang bisa ga fair ya sama kita. Yang baik, malah dipanggil duluan, sedangkan yang jahat-jahat, sampah masyarakat, dibiarin hidup. My dad was a hard worker and a kind person! the kindest person i've ever met! and he died. While those thieves out there, they're alive and enjoying their stolen money and everything!

Tapi ya setelah gue pikir-pikir lagi, Allah manggil bokap gue karena dia sayang sama bokap gue. Bokap gue terlalu baik, terlalu sabar, untuk tetap ada di dunia. But i miss him. I miss his laughter, i miss his funny-not funny jokes, i miss everything about him! If i was given one wish, i would like to wish for him to come back.

I love you pah.. Where ever you are.. Big hugs and kisses.

P.S. for all of you, Love your parents with all your heart. Do all the good things for them. Say thanks to them for everything that they've done to you. And oh, i envy you in a positive way i mean.. i envy that you still can do all the good things for your dad/parents. Be Happy!

Weeping Willow


I want to sleep

underneath the weeping willow

as it cries all night quitely

It's tears all around me

I'll sleep there so soundly

until im allowed finaly

To wake and be happy again

To wake and be happy again.

+Granddady,underneath the weeping willow+

Have you ever seen Weeping Willow? The real one, not only on the TV.. Maybe some of you have already seen it.. I'm seeing it right now.. My mum planted it on the front yard near my room's window.. I've falling in love with that tree since i watched Pocahontas.


For me, Weeping Willow is the symbol of wisdom, peace, and love. It's a huge tree, but it doesn't look arogant, it's a huge tree, it covers us from the sun, it covers us from rain,
it gives us some fresh breeze, it cries with us when we cry. Whenever i see it, i feel something peacefull, calm, carring, wise, and everything.

I want to be like a Weeping Willow for everyone that i love. I want to be a place for them to share their problems, I want to be a place for them to share their feelings, I want to be a place for them to feel some peace, cheer with them, and cry with them.

What a day..

Actually, there's nothing bad about today.. Meeting with PoPS went ok.. Meeting with GANDEWA was ok too.. Actually, today was fun. I just.. I don't know.. Suddenly I felt so sick and tired with all my routines. Campus, study, chit chat with friends, back home, sit in front of my laptop, browsing, sleep, and it goes like that.. Everyday.

My friends are ok.. They're the most fun people.. Maybe i'm already bored with all of these things.. I'm bored with campus, i'm bored with sitting in front of my laptop and browsing. My life is controlled by Internet! Gosh.. I really miss the time when i could play outside, going somewhere with friends, just for window shopping.

I need some times to be with nobody but myself. Just one day.. But, until now, i don't get any chance.. Maybe next week.. :)

Btw, i just realized that my english is very bad.. I've been translating a verbatim of an interview since days ago and until now, it's not done yet. I found out that it's soo damn hard! i need to practice more.. :p
