...a friend in deed

ini hari keempat gua flu, tapi kali ini semakin parah dari sebelumnya. Hari Kamis yang lalu sudah ke dokter, tapi secara dari dulu gak dibiasain minum antibiotik, belagak lah gw gak nebus obat dokter itu...
akhirnya hari ini gw nyerah. Padahal malam sebelumnya udah set janji ketemua ama temen-temen untuk yam cha bareng setelah gereja pagi di Laurentius...semua rencana bubar jalan dong.
5:00 AM, saya bangun dengan kepala super pening dan hidung super mumpet...sms ke teman-teman: sorry acaranya batal, flu nya tambah parah, sorry..
itu setelah sekian kali salah ketik....

8:00 AM kebangun lagi, setengah sadar nelponin Oky, one of my few best friends. Nelpon karena gw tau gw butuh bantuan...since I beliee I am not able to drive
"Ky, terima SMS gw gak tadi?"
"terima, kenapa tuh..makin parah ya?" sambil ketawa di ujung sana
"iya, sial...mana udah mau berangkat lagi...lagi di mana loe?"
"kantor"(ehem..it's Sunday Morning..tapi itu deh Oky) "mengerjakan sesuatu yang tidak masuk akal"
...gak ngerti..tapi gak nanya karena otak gua udah bebal....
"ke dokter gih"
"udah, tapi gua bandel gak nebus obatnya...tololnya resep dokternya ada di kantor"
"walah...di kantor ada siapa?"
"mungkin ada semua, soalnya kemaren malam gua dapat sms untuk ke kantor pagi ini"
"walaaahh...ya udah gua ambilin deh ada di mana?"
"harusnya sih di meja gw, kalo belum di bersihin, serius loe, gak papa?"
"ya udah...gua ambilin deh"
click.
nah itu deh...setelah telpon itu gua tidur...gak lama kemudian ada suara-suara, ternyata oky dah datang dengan obat di tangan.

friend in need is a friend indeed.

Muntok - Old Lady with Trace of Beauty and Charm part 2

Walk the City, then you will get the soul… ...and you may find more hidden beneath... Filled with otak-otak and es kacang, we continued our walk around Old Muntok. Few houses from Petak 15, there is a weird signboard : " Lorong Babi" . We laugh at the funny words in the beginning and follow the direction it shows. We found a newly built kiosk in a dead-end narrow alley. In there, 3 men are selling pork. They were smiling and told us to come in. I asked them if this place is new and they approve. "We are moved here when they (the government) move the old market to the new one across the river" I could see the new market from their stall…across the river. All of you are not joining the others to the new market? "No, this is the location for us" I didn't ask further. It is clear to me. Johannes Widodo, our Keynote Speaker, coined "Meeting Pot" for Muntok. According to him, differences for centuries manage to live side by side in...

(Supposed to be) Last day with JICA Mamminasata

this was taken just before we left. Some local staff had left, so here was I, only lady in the party. on my right is the team leader, left is the deputy team leader. My only aim was to finish my leftover tasks from Mr. Koizumi and Mr. Watanabe’s Decree (well it’s Presidential Decree Draft, not his decree..but whatever) I have to transfer some of tasks to other people, since today is my last day. I did that. Eventually, Ibu Itha asked me to accompany Mr. Koizumi (our team leader which I always afraid of) to ASKINDO (Cocoa Association of Indonesia). This was my first time to be with him and in fact my first time to have conversation with him after 10 months working with this study team. I am really grateful that I had that chance. He is an extraordinary humble person with rich experiences in his professional life. Just like the story of his 30 years old leather suitcase that he purchased in Rome and still accompany him everywhere he goes around the globe. He might looks old with his grey...
