I tried my best to keep posting everyday, but it's not easy....
.
I got tooth ache in this few days, and it's really bother me. I can't eat properly, my appetite going worse day by day. Even my favorite food can't help me.
Fortunately, i have medicine to reduce the pain. And i feel really happy today.
First, i'm happy because of what happened last night.
Saturday, it supposed to be a free day.
Oh, actually not. There is an (just call it) event on my office. I should go to work (actually).
But my neighbor already booked me from around 2 weeks ago.
They want me to be (kinda) receptionist on their daughter's wedding. This is the reason why on previous day i said i'm anxious.
Yang kubenci setelah hujan reda
adalah percakapan antara kita yang ikut mereda
menjadi sebatas rintik sapaan singkat
dan pertanyaan basa-basi, 'sudah selesai kelas?' kala tak sengaja bersua.
Lalu rintik itu menggenang jadi kubangan di sudut jalan,
tinggal tunggu hitungan detik untuk menguap dan hilang.
Semenit kemudian mungkin orang sudah lupa tentang hujan, dan genangan itu
Nothing 'big' happened today.
It's just a normal day.
I decided to take 1 from 4 absent allowance (do you understand what i mean? Idk the English word for this 😁). My mom need to get few things done by this afternoon, and i'm the only who can drive for her, and accompany her. Plus, there is another needs for our stall, and for our neighbor's wedding that will be held tomorrow.
One of famous band in Indonesia held a concert in Surabaya. (This band not producing pop songs, but they more like Christian band). The concert named 'Unlimited Blessings', praise and worship night.
There are some miss comunication while i booked the ticket.
In short, they asked me to paid the ticket soon, and i'm a person who easily panicked.
So this morning, before i go to work i take a little time for visiting ATM in a minimarket. I've tried to transfer the money, but the machine said my pin was wrong.
I tried for three times, and just do foolishness. The card was blocked.
My panick become overwhelmed. I can't drive well, can't think clear, such a chaotic morning. This thing really distract my mind. Because it's not my card, but my father's, unfortunately my Father haven't being home yet.
I thought i had enough rest. On last Sunday, i spent my half day for sleeping.
Swallowed some medicine, and slept.
But i still have a cold and cough with phlegm.
I didn't took any medicine since Sunday. Just some mild medicine for my cough, plus i didn't drink it regularly. Just when i want to, i take it. Maybe that's why it's getting worse today.
I can't breath freely, i have a runny nose.
There are so much snot in my nose. Yeah, this is disgusting, and really irritating me.
That's why i decide to buy medicine, and eat another medicine when i'm home.
But i feel like i'm healthy. I didn't have headache, didn't get cold, didn't feel weak. Even the medicine couldn't make me sleepy when the box said it's the effect.
I can't breath freely and this is really really really iriritate me so so so very much.
I hope i still could go to work tomorrow. I don't wanna miss a single day.
There is a foreign people come to my office. He couldn't speak neither Bahasa Indonesia nor English. He just know a few of Bahasa, and it's still mixed with Mandarin. He want to do counseling with senior pastor here, but there is no one who know what is he talking about, because the language.
We trapped in confusion, and several people walking around and shouting 'Who could speak Mandarin? We need a translator!'
I remember, there is a granma who could speak Mandarin well, but unfortunately she is not here. So there is no one who could translate for him. So sad about this.
If just, i already mastered Mandarin, i would be your translator, Sir.
It's not the first time i'm trapped in such conditions. Is this a sign, or what?

Badanku rasanya lemas, pengen istirahat. Karena batuk-pilek yang tak kunjung sembuh.
Memang, cuaca di Surabaya akhir-akhir ini kurang bersahabat dan nggak bisa diprediksi.
Waktu pagi bisa saja langit kelihatan cerah, tapi siang mendadak mendung dan turun hujan deras sampai malam. Ini yang bikin banyak orang jadi sakit.
Berawal dari sebuah gorengan antah berantah yang bikin sakit tenggorokan berujung batuk, ditambah dengan banyaknya orang kantor yang kena flu. Duh, padahal akhir Desember kemarin baru kena flu juga. Capek deh.
Tapi, begitu lihat di meja belajar ada bungkusan, semua rasa lelah pun sirna.
Sebenernya aku udah nonton film ini bulan Desember lalu, tapi baru sempet dan baru kepikiran untuk nulis reviewnya sekarang.
Dan aku nonton ini malem-malem, karena nggak bisa tidur. Eh malah akhirnya makin nggak bisa tidur, ditambah nangis juga nontonnya, jadi pilek, hidung mampet. Makin nggak bisa tidur deh *curcol*.
Oke deh daripada berbasa-basi, kita langsung mulai aja reviewnya!
Belakangan ini, saya tertarik pada puisi.
Di buku catatan, di ponsel, atau lembar coret-coretan, puisi akan sangat mudah ditemui di sekitar saya.
Hingga akhirnya saya membulatkan tekad untuk membuat akun berisikan puisi-puisi yang selama ini hanya tersimpan di kertas, di buku, atau di kepala.
Dan suatu ketika, ada seorang yang bertanya pada saya. 'Gimana sih cara bikin puisi? Aku pengen bikin puisi-puisi kayak kamu.'
Pertanyaan sederhana.
Jawabannya yang tidak.
Kamis kemarin, sehabis pulang kerja aku langsung ke perpustakaan umum di daerah Menur.
Perpustakaan ini jadi tempat favorit keduaku setelah rumah. Di sini aku banyak menghabiskan waktu untuk belajar, mencari inspirasi, atau sekadar bersantai menikmati me time.
Kebetulan hari itu juga deadline terakhir pengembalian buku, jadi aku langsung tancap gas ke sana mumpung belum hujan. Selama di perjalanan aku juga sudah mempersiapkan, mau cari buku apa untuk dipinjam lagi.
Tapi anehnya waktu sampai di tempat, parkiran yang biasanya dipenuhi puluhan motor terlihat kosong. Wah, ada apa nih?
Selamat tahun baru! Selamat tahun baru!
Ponsel bergetar tanda pesan masuk, euforia perayaan tahun baru masih tersisa. Bahkan suara terompet serta kembang api masih sesekali terdengar di pagi tadi.
Berjuta harapan dan doa dinaikkan, semua orang mendoakan yang terbaik bagi mereka ketika menjalani hari pertama di tahun yang baru ini.
Mulai dari rakyat biasa, publik figur, hingga pemegang kuasa, semua sibuk menggaungkan resolusi mereka. Entah itu sekadar menuliskannya di kertas, untuk ditempel di meja kerja, di dinding kamar, atau mungkin menuliskannya di sosial media. Tak tahu tujuannya apa, mungkin agar dunia tahu dia punya resolusi yang hebat.
