To Love/To Be Loved
Waktu itu, saya lagi jatuh cinta setengah mati sama pacar (sampe skarang juga sih), jadi ya saya jawab kalo saya lebih baik mencintai.
Tapi setelah berjalannya waktu, dan kayanya otak saya agak lebih berkembang, gitu, pandangan saya akan dicintai-mencintai ini jadi sedikit berubah.
Menurut saya sih, dua-duanya bukan pilihan. Nggak ada yang lebih mending, karena keduanya harus sejalan, dan otomatis bakal sejalan.
Dicintai membuat kita dimanja. Mencintai membuat kita lebih berusaha.
Kalo kita dicintai, pasti kita akan disirami dengan kasih sayang yang membuat perasaan kita lebih bahagia. Contoh gampangnya, dikasih coklat ama pacar, diberi perhatian, dll ya gitu deh.
Kalo kita mencintai, otomatis kita akan berusaha menjadi orang yang lebih baik biar orang yang kita cintai itu terkesan. Misalnya, jadinya pengen tampil cantik, pengen keliatan dewasa, jadi ramah ama kecengan, dan ingin membuat orang yang kita cintai itu merasa senang. Intinya, berusaha.
Nah, kedua hal ini kalo dijalankan bersama, jadinya suatu hubungan yang timbal balik kan. Dan itulah yang seharusnya terjadi. Dan memang begitulah yang terjadi.
Bullshit banget kalo ada yang bilang "Kalo beneran cinta itu nggak ngarepin apa-apa."
Boong. Cinta itu egois dan menuntut.
Ga percaya? Liat aja kalo kamu naksir orang. Walopun bilangnya "Biar ga dapetin, ga papa deh" tapi buntutnya pasti ada "... asal bisa liat senyumnya tiap hari." (atau apalah). Nah, itu aja udah keliatan kalo ngarep imbalan.
Kalo kamu sayang ama seseorang, pasti (walopun kamu nggak mau ngakuin) kamu bakal ngarep orang itu untuk sayang juga ke kamu. Jadi kalo kamu rela mencintai, pasti kamu juga akan mengharapkan cinta itu kembali.
Dan kalau kamu dicintai, berterima kasihlah atas limpahan kasih sayang yang kamu dapatkan, eventually kamu juga bakal sayang ama orang-orang yang baik sama kamu kan?
Jadi, mencintai atau dicintai, sama-sama nggak akan lepas dari diri kita kok. Biarkan aja berjalan apa adanya. That's life. :)

Highlights of 2010
So here's the sneak peek.
[+] March :
- Went to Jakarta bringing some bacuks and kejuaromas for the Safehouse people - followed by lunch (and dinner) party with Mita, Yohanna, Panda, Virgo, Winda, Benny, Dini 'Bang Imam', and later on Lewi. Lewi gave me Anne Rice's book, and Tante Yoh gave me the Powerpuff Girls' blanket :D
- Had lunch with Monika, Astrid Amonk and her boyfriend Andre at Thai & I PIM the next day, then we hung around from Heavenly Blush to XXI to Bakerzin up 'till night.
- I had my NPWP finally.
- I got free tickets for Kings of Convenience concert in Ritz Carlton Pacific Place! Went to the gig with Monika, met Tante Yoh, Kania Nunung, crashed at Starbucks few hours before with Mita, Profy, Waldo, Lewi, Eriq, Dea, Lemez, and bunch of people I forgot who else XD Oh there you are Shafiq and Emita XD
- Had nasi gila at Senayan with the girls after the concert, right before I catch the X-Trans travel car at 2 am. LOL
[+] April :
- Visiting Mom and had a trip to Jogja-Magelang. Merapi was fine at that time, I took a couple shots of the gorgeous mount. And some cool photos from the traditional events in Magelang. And of course, the food fiestas.
- A sudden one-day trip to Jakarta for a talkshow interview with Radio Netherland at Four Seasons Hotel. It was a nice chat, and met some friends afterward before I went back to Bandung on the same day.
[+] May :
- Spent few days holiday at my Grandma's villa in Bogor. Hopped to some cafes and cool spots, went back home with the super-lusty Black Russian Pie and Roti Unyil.
- I dealt with the sexual harrassment thread from my former Korean boss. The head office retrieved him back to South Korea, thank goodness. But the process was very rocky and I had to deal with some dramas at the immigration office. I think this was the most horrible time of the year, but thank God I had my friends who supported me at that time. I overcame the drama and everything went well, eventually. Thank you, guys, sincerely :)
- I moved out to the head office - as a result of the earlier drama.
[+] June :
- I got another free tickets to a concert - this time thanks to Wowo. It's the Wonder Girls concert! held in Balai Kartini Jakarta. Went to see them with Wo, Monika, Anita (Mon's cousin), Tia Sassy, Dea, and Desy. Had a great lunch at Mr. Parks' Grand Indonesia first. The concert was great and the crowds were crazy! :D
[+] July :
- My birthday! LOL. I always love July as it's my favorite month of the year, and I had a great birthday this time. Spent it with my friends and boyfriend - I brought some foods to the office and then had dinner with Wo.
[+] August :
- Monika and Amonk came to Bandung, just in time for my first initiation ceremony. Despite all the 'tilang' drama and Mon's mules2, Amonk's no-jacket whines, we had dinner altogether with Wowo and Vero at the Korean House, crashed at Congo cafe afterwards, and lunch bacuk at Legoh the next day. Good times!
[+] September :
- Spent Idul Fitri in Bogor with my Grandma, Dad, and all relatives. Had 3 different feasts in 2 days, then met some friends at GI before hitting the train station to Jogja.
- Spent the rest of the Idul Fitri holiday in Magelang with Mom, my sisters, my brother and all the relatives. Another feasts and family gathering.
- Hani 'Pupus' went to Bandung and it was our first time meeting, in Legoh :)
- Got invitation to this some-kind-of-party at Legoh, directly from the chef, LOL! Free meals for everybody, good time, good food, good friends, great soiree, Leon :) Look forward for upcoming event(s) ;D
[+] October :
- Pasar Seni ITB 101010! Monika came all the way for this event, and went there with Wowo too. Met Nita Ennit, Fifi, etc. It was an iconic event, the crowds were tremendous but we're all had fun!
- I had a new bookshelf :P
- Festival Jajanan Bango at lapangan Tegalega with Panda, Ari Patria, Petra, Catur, Anom, Nhie, Wowo :D Food all day long! ... Ended it with awesome fireworks and dripping wet from the rain till we got home LOL.
- Went on an incognito trip to Jakarta with Leon from Koil for a music video shooting of Endank Soekamti. Spent the day around the city with him with in Sushi Tei, Plaza Indonesia, Burger King, incuding the busway ride XD It was a weird and fun day, LOL. Went back to Bandung at 2 am.
[+] November :
- Went to Bandung World Jazz in Sabuga with Leon. Pretty good show, and pretty much food we had there, LOL! We stayed until the very last performance of the first day, didn't get the chance to see the 2nd day though. But it was fun nonetheless :)
[+] December :
- Another crazy food adventures with Monika, Wowo, and Vero :D Including Angry Birds frenzy, like, say whaaaatt? XD Too bad we missed the dim sum morning, since none of us are morning person :P Oh well, there will be another time.
- Bandung Drums Day at Sabuga with Leon. Met a lot of people, mostly musicians. And Olva! It was fun :)
- Having a New Year's Eve in Wowo's place with plenty of home-made Spaghetti bolognaise and caesar salad.
Of course there were other events happened which I lost track of time, including :
- Hanging out with Winda and Nino and his family around Bandung
- Trip to jakarta for the Pizza Hut birthday party of Mita Lewi etc etc, I don't remember when, but it was the first time I met Reny Kanon and Dani Uciel :)
And so on, and so on. Many things happened and it was all great. I probably can not remember it all now, but it all spiced up my life up till now and I will more than glad to have it again with you in the upcoming year.
Let's cross our fingers for a better- and much more fun and crazy adventures in 2011!
Happy new year, everyone :)

Happy Mother's Day
Sesekali mulutnya bergerak seperti mengucapkan sesuatu, tapi nggak ada suara yang keluar dari bibirnya. Dia pengen beli balon. Dia pengen ke supermarket dan beli es krim, lalu memakannya. Sesimpel itu. Dan setiap kali anak itu bercakap-cakap dengan gerakan tubuhnya, si ibu memperhatikan dengan seksama sambil tersenyum, dan menjawab setiap gerakan si anak manis ini dengan gerakan juga. "Nanti kita beli balon.". "Kalau kamu sudah makan, nanti kita beli es krim.".
Sewaktu jari si anak ini tergores resleting tas ibunya, si anak ini nggak mengaduh, dia cuma mengernyit dan ibunya cepat-cepat mengambil jari anak itu dan memeriksanya. Ada darah sedikit, tapi anak ini nggak menangis, hanya terdiam dan ibunya membersihkan luka dengan tisu lalu tersenyum sambil mengusap kepala si anak itu.
Pemandangan di depan gue tadi itu lumayan menyentuh buat gue. Anak itu manis sekali, dan walaupun dia tuna wicara, tapi keceriaan yang dia miliki sama seperti keceriaan anak-anak lain yang diajak berjalan-jalan oleh ibunya. Matanya tetap berbinar-binar kalau melihat hal-hal yang menarik. Wajahnya tetap mengernyit waktu jarinya sakit. Tapi dia nggak rewel. Dan ibunya sabar sekali menjawab setiap antusiasme si anak ini.
Pernah keinget nggak, masa kecil kita? Gue nggak tau sih kalo kalian, tapi gue cukup mengingat masa kecil gue. Terutama ketika nyokap gue menjemput gue pulang sekolah dan mengajak gue makan es krim. Waktu nyokap gue mengajak gue jalan-jalan ke Ratu Plaza (jaman gue kecil, itu mall paling keren se-Jakarta) dan beli baju baru. Waktu gue diajak ke tempat kerja nyokap dan ditemani oleh teman-teman nyokap gue supaya gue nggak bosen dan rewel.
Gue jadi ngerasa, dulu waktu kecil, hubungan gue dan nyokap itu dekat sekali ya. Seperti si anak kecil yang manis dan ibunya di angkot itu. Gue rasa sih emang begitu, setiap ibu selalu perhatian banget sama anaknya. Sampe anaknya gede. Buktinya walaupun sekarang gue udah gede, udah (sangat) bandel, dan udah nggak serumah lagi ama nyokap gue, tapi tetep aja nyokap gue paling perhatian sama gue. Gue rasa sih emang bener, kasih sayang ibu sepanjang jalan. Nggak akan pernah ilang. Walaupun gue, kita, sebagi anak, kadang ngerasa kesel, sebel, bosen, marah, atau apapunlah terhadap orang tua, tapi tetep aja, kasih sayang orang tua nggak ada matinya.
Gue nggak ngomongin soal orang tua yang suka menyiksa anaknya, ya. Buat gue itu sih orang gila, jadi nggak perlu dibahas di sini lah. Gue cuma mau lihat kasih sayang orang tua pada umumnya, ibu khususnya - ke kita. Kasih sayang yang kadang kita rasa suka berkurang - padahal sih sebenernya tetep sama aja, tapi kitanya yang kadang bersikap seolah ada jurang pemisah di antara ibu dan anak. Kita yang mulai mengadakan pertentangan-pertentangan dengan sikap ibunda - yang sebenernya nggak berubah dari jaman kita kecil.
Maybe we changed. Or maybe not. Maybe we're just adjusting to our world, our conditions. But parents love us unconditionally.
I just hope that I could always love them back as much, as I should.
Suatu saat, mungkin gue - kita - juga bakal jadi orang tua, dan gue harap gue juga akan mampu memberikan kasih sayang gue ke anak-anak gue tanpa syarat dan never-ending seperti yang gue dapetin selama ini.
Buat Mama, Eyang, dan para ibu - termasuk teman-teman yang sudah menjadi ibu, selamat hari Ibu ya.
Terima kasih atas kasih sayang tanpa henti buat anak-anak yang (nggak selalu) manis ini. Terima kasih buat segala usaha dan jerih payah untuk menghadapi sikap anak-anak yang kadang manis kadang nyebelin setengah mati. I love you too :)

Menulis Itu Gampang
Contohnya gue. Pas gue tau ada temen yang suka nulis blog tapi jarang update, gue sering banget menowel-nowel mereka supaya meng-update tulisan di blognya. "Ayo dong nulis lagi," atau "Kok belum ada postingan baru," atau apalah. Dan seperti biasa, kalo mereka mulai mengeluh ga tau nulis apa, gue akan dengan entengnya ngomong "Ah, nulis kan gampang."
Tapi sendirinya, update tulisan di blog aja baru sekarang, hehehehe. Ini pun sebenernya gara-gara gue tengsin liat blog temen yang kemarin gue paksa-paksa nulis, eh kok ya beneran lho dia mengupdate blognya. Goblik, gue kan jadi malu :P Dan setelah pagi ini gue menghadap layar monitor PC gue dan membuka program Word, trus gue mulai bengong menatap blank page putih itu. Gue mau nulis apa ya? O___o
Sebenernya mungkin emang menulis itu gampang. Tinggal tuangin aja apa yang ada di kepala. Nah masalahnya, yang nongol di otak gue itu biasanya random banget, nggak terstruktur, loncat-loncat, dan kebanyakan sih nggak penting. Kalo untuk dirangkai dan dijadiin satu entri tulisan yang bermutu, musti agak usaha sedikit biar keliatannya bagus atau minimal ada yang mau baca. Tapi kalo emang beneran cuma pengen nuangin isi kepala, akhirnya pilihan jatuh ke media jejaring sosial lain yang lebih simpel, misalnya Facebook, Twitter, Plurk. Microbblogging is always the easiest way to share what's on your mind. Tinggal ngeclap. Nggak usah banyak-banyak, cuma 140 karakter. Tapi sering, hehehe. Makanya kalo ada yang nanya "Chib kok lu nggak nulis blog lagi sih?", gue masih bisa jawab, "Nulis kok, tapi microblogging, alias nge-tweet dan nge-Plurk." Hehehe.
Tapi kadang-kadang pas otak gue lagi agak beresan dikit, emang gue suka punya ide-ide menarik yang bisa gue susun jadi satu cerita fiksi. Malah kadang saking serunya, bisa selesai satu short-fic dalam sejam, atau satu draft long-fic sembari ngabisin segelas es teh manis jumbo (hiperbolis ya? Iya deh, plus seporsi keju aroma :P). Itu kalo lagi pas dapet ide bagus atau suasananya mendukung. Rasanya nulis itu emang gampang. Atau kalo untuk kerjaan, pas udah dapet semua materi tulisan dan udah suka ama topik bahasan yang musti gue tulis, rasanya bikin dua sampe lima artikel sih nggak berasa.. Tau-tau lho kok kepanjangan. Hahaha.
Tapi kalo otak lagi bego (yang kayanya sih lebih sering jadi teflon daripada kondisi prima), ya gitu deh. Nulis satu paragraf aja nggak maju-maju.
Makanya gue suka salut ama orang-orang yang bisa produktif menulis tiap hari (bukan cuma nulis status FB atau shout di Plurk/Twitter ya), bahkan nulis puisi (!!! Gue nggak mungkin bisa secanggih itu sih) atau nulis lagu, atau nulis novel dalam waktu yang relatif singkat. Dan lebih kagum lagi sama orang-orang yang jarang nulis, tapi sekalinya diminta ternyata beneran bisa nulis minimal beberapa paragraf yang menarik.
Jadi kalo gue rasa sih, menulis itu emang gampang. Seharusnya. Tinggal gimana kita ngatur isi kepala yang mau dituangin itu jadi susunan kalimat (yang tentunya lebih dari 140 karakter), dan yang penting lagi, niat. Kalo udah niat sih gue yakin apa pun juga gampang. Dan yang namanya niat itu kan motivasinya banyak. Bisa duit honor, ajakan/paksaan temen, challenge (tantangan kaya 30 Hari Menulis itu, atau NaNoWriMo), gengsi, atau kaya gue sekarang, karena malu dan ga mau kalah ama orang lain yang udah update blog duluan hihihi. Tau-tau udah banyak aja kan entri tulisan gue kali ini :P
Jadi, kapan kamu akan menulis lagi? :D

Taking Chances
No, not work-related or holiday-related trip, just a one-whole-day to have fun and for the sake of get-rid-the-boredom trip. LOL.
And I blame it all to Leon for that. Muhahaha.
It was all totally unplanned. On Tuesday I was visiting Legoh - just for a cup of coffee because I was totally bored in the office as always - and ended up having a chat with Leon (the chef, the drummer of Koil band - a friend of mine). Leon told me that on Wednesday he had to be in Jakarta for a music video shoot - not Koil's, but for the new MV of Endank Soekamti (another rock band). He was supposed to be with Otong (Koil's vocalist) but somehow he just had to go by himself.
Then one convo led to another, I ended up agreeing to go with him XD I decided to skip the office the next day (Wednesday), and I joined the crazy chef to go to Jakarta - as a tour guide/PA/whatever. Just go.
So the next morning, I was on CitiTrans shuttle car to Jakarta with Leon, and we're heading to Kota Tua area for the video shooting. It was a bit raining when we arrived in SCBD at around 12, but strangely enough it was gleefully hot sunshining day in Kota O_o
The shoots went smooth, I couldn't help myself laughing at the scenes they took - Endank Soekamti guys are genuinely funny and Leon is truly a super-chef with his ulekan (I really dunno what that thing called in English. Grinder? o__o;;). And they made an excellent combination for a hilariously cool music video. Can't wait to see the result on TV :D You should watch it too, people!
^teaser for the MV :P
The shoots done (at least, for Leon) at about 4.30, thus we decided to grab some good meal in Sushi Tei. So we're heading to Plaza Indonesia by busway! Yay! I bet this was the first time in life for leon to take a busway, muhahaha :P
There were several public demonstrations in some spots in Jakarta, so the busway had to take a detour to reach Bunderan HI. I thought I took a wrong route when the bus turned to Juanda O_o Lucky for me, Leon was totally blind about streets in Jakarta - so if ever we got lost, he wouldn't notice, me think, hehehe :P (But we're NOT! We're actually on track, thank goodness).
We reached Sushi Tei in less than 30 minutes and we massively ordered the foods as our stomaches were craving for ones. So here's what we got : salmon sashimi, salmon maki, oshinko maki, tako sushi, chuka idako, crispy rolls, and agedashi tofu. LOL! Those are raw salmon slices, salmon in rice rolls, pickles rolls, octopus sushi, baby octopus, eel+tuna+salmon skin+cucumber in rice rolls, and soft tofu soup. :P
^ Leon with the sushi XD
Yeah, we ate a lot, I just had to ease my belly after the meal XD Leon got hooked up with the ginger slices - I hate ginger and I tried one :E - and looks like he fell in one with that pinky stuff. With endless cold ocha as our drink, we spent some times at Sushi Tei until Mita and Shafiq arrived (and they had their 'snack' as well) and took off at around 8 pm. We roamed around Plaza Indonesia and EX to get some toys for Leon's son's birthday next week, then we're just totally lost in EX. (the mall iskinda weird, me think, or it's just moi getting unfamiliar with. I love Grand Indonesia better)
That was until we finally ended up in Heavenly Blush and ordered two cups of fro-yos. We talked over fro-yos until around 11.30 pm, then we realized it's time to head back to Bandung, LOL! But when we reached X-Trans in Kartika Chandra, turns out we got the 1.45 am shuttle. So we still got about 2 hours to spend, and voila! We crashed at the Burger King Thamrin :D
I looove Burger King. I'm not a junkie but I can't resist myself for KFC (of course!)and BK. I really do cross my fingers for BK to open in Bandung.
Aaanyway, we headed back to Kartika Chandra at 1.30 and finally we're going home. Arrived safely at 3.45 am, (that was fast. usually it takes more than 2 hours from Jakarta-Bandung), we picked up Leon's car in Legoh first before he dropped me off in Ciumbuleuit.
I went to bed shortly after I reached my room (by the way, my house mate locked up the front door so I had to knock on his window to get him open it for me, LOL) since I have to be at the office at 8 later on.
It was a very fun, exhausting, hilarious day and I'm glad to have it with Leon. Thanks so much for everything, hope we could have another fun joyride - perhaps Jogja for next destinantion, oui? LOL!
I'm expecting another adventurous chances to take. Anyone? :)

Festival Jajanan!
Setelah rame-rame Pasar Seni 101010 minggu lalu, minggu ini ada festival lain lagi yang nggak kalah bikin heboh. Nggak cuma satu, ada dua festival dalam sehari!
Yang satu, adalah Festival Bandung Blossoms yang diselenggarakan dalam rangka ulang tahun kota Bandung yang ke-200. Acara ini dimulai sejak hari Jumat malem (15/10) sampai Sabtu ini udah bikin heboh dengan panggung besar di jalan Merdeka (yang tentunya bikin jalan Merdeka dan beberapa jalan lainnya ditutup) dan pawai keliling kota - termasuk bazaar makanan di Balai Kota.
Beberapa kilometer dari Balai Kota - tepatnya di Lapangan Tegalega - juga ada satu festival yang nggak kalah serunya, yaitu Festival Jajanan Bango. Dari namanya aja udah ketauan kalo yang bikin acara penuh makanan ini adalah merek kecap Bango. Diisi seratus stand makanan dari seluruh penjuru Bandung - plus beberapa stand makanan yang ngetop di luar kota, festival yang berlangsung dari jam 9 pagi sampai 10 malem ini penuh sesak oleh ibu-ibu, bapak-bapak, adek-adek, kakak-kakak siapapun yang hobi jajan dan bertekad kuat untuk ngeceng walaupun sempat keguyur hujan.
Berhubung Panda udah menyewa gue untuk jadi asisten pribadi selama festival jajanan Bango itu, jadi sejak Jumat malam Panda nginep di tempat gue dan Sabtu pagi jam 8 kita udah siap pergi ke Lapangan Tegalega.
Begitu nyampe di tempat festival, gue dan Panda langsung mengelilingi area stand yang udah siap melayani pengunjung. Ada stand resto Jejamuran dari Jogja yang langsung jadi inceran gue (soalnya makanannya enak beneran tapi jauuuh di Jogja sana), Bebek Van Java, Iga Bakar Jangkung, dll, dll, dll. Banyak bangeeettt... Tapi pilihan pertama jatuh ke tahu gejrot dulu secara masih pagi :D
Acara pembukaan festival yang diisi oleh Viky Sianipar dan para pejabat Bango, dipilih 5 jajanan top Bandung yang diambil dari polling, yaitu : ayam bakar, kupat tahu, nasi goreng, basi tahu, dan mi kocok. Setelah itu, mulailah kita beredar menjajal setiap stand.
Gue dan Panda mencoba Bubur Ayam Mang Oyo yang emang gue tau udah ngetop itu, juga Kupat Tahu Gempol yang perasaan baru gue coba sekali dulu. Selewat tengah hari, beberapa temen-temen dateng, ada Petra dan Joyce, Catur, Anom, dan Nhie yang akhirnya nemenin gue seliweran kesana kemari.
Sempet juga terjebak hujan di dine area (untungnya pas lagi di tenda dine area, kalo nggak sih kayanya panik juga ya) dan akhirnya kita lanjutkan makan aja lagi hehehe... Otak-Otak Bu'Le itu enak jugaaa tapi kok ngantrinya edan.
Wo dateng sorenya, sekitar jam 5 pas ujannya udah reda tinggal kiprit-kiprit doang. Muter-muter lagi, ada es cendol Elisabeth, Es Duren Sakinah, ikan bakar Reds Dipo, tapi rata-rata semua stand pada ngantriii gilaaaa apalagi Sate jamur Jejamuran yang shift 2 nya belom mulai, kita udah ngejogrok di depan stand :P
Akhirnya gue dan Wo malah keluar dari arena FJB, dan ujan-ujanan beli kacang rebus di luar hehehe :P Wo malah sempet beliin awug - gue baru kali ini makan jajanan satu itu. Lucu juga rasanya kaya kue putu, tapi tongkrongannya kaya layer cake XD Lho XD
Setelah Wo pulang jam 7an (karena mau nonton pertandingan Persib - Persiba yang juga dilangsungkan di Bandung - kebayang gak siih ramenya Bandung hari ini!), hujannya semakin deres jadi uge bertahan di tenda media sampe jam 9 malem, pas Viky Sianipar ngisi acara dengan lagu2nya yang asik, puncak acara dimulai. Yaitu kembang api! Horeeee nggak pake mikir, gue langsung lari ke depan dan ujan-ujanan nonton kembang api :P Baguuuss banget, walopun ujan, tapi jauh lebih keren daripada kembang api taun baru di Monas (itu kembang api terakhir yang gue liat sih) :P Wo nelpon gue pas acara kembang api itu, ternyata dia juga nonton dari balkon rumahnya hehehe.
Acara akhirnya selesai setelah kembang api itu, jadi gue, Panda dan Ari siap-siap pulang. Berhubung hujan dan nggak ada satupun dari kita yang bawa payung, jadi ya sudahlah ya kita ujan-ujanan ke depan Lapangan Tegalega dan berusaha mencari taksi.
Mungkin karena ujan dan pas banget para bobotoh (suporter) Persib yang pada rame lewat, atau karena gue yang saking kecilnya jadi nggak keliatan, atau emang lagi pada belagu, 3 mobil taksi yang lewat gue setopin dan ga ada satupun yang mau berhenti. Gue nelpon Wo juga ga diangkat. Hiks. Gue mulai berasa jomblo. *halah* XD
Akhirnya setelah naik angkot sampe ujung jalan entah-apa-itu, baru deh kita dapet taksi dan pulang.
Rasanya capek, basah, dan dingiiin, tapi puas banget bisa ikutan FJB kali ini. Oh iya, gue juga dapet oleh-oleh hadiah kaos dari kuis FJB di Twitter! LOL. Catur dan Nhie juga dapet. Tengkiuu FJBango! :D
^ wihiy kaosnya :P
Mungkin karena kaos itu makanya gue ditakdirkan untuk makan Kupat Tahu Gempol setelah itu :P
Seandainya ada stand Legoh di festival itu, gue yakin gue akan memilih kaos bertuliskan "Saya mah pilih keju aroma ajah." :P *ngarep* *maksa* Wahihihihihi!
Nah, sampai bertemu di acara makan-makan berikutnya :D
