Entah kapan terakhir kali gue update blog lg. Bukan karena gue ga ada waktu, tp semata kreatifitas yg menurun. Walaupun gue udah sisihkan sebagian waktu buat duduk manis di depan laptop, tetap aja ga kepikiran mo nulis apa. I hate to admit, but my creativity is drowning to its lowest level. Bukan berarti ga banyak kejadian menarik yg terjadi belakangan ini, bukan berarti ga banyak kejadian lucu yg terjadi belakangan ini…..I just can’t!!

Sampai hari ini….

Hahaha, hari ini gue balik  ke Jakarta, and guess what….for 2 weeks man!! gue sendiri masih bingung ntar pulang ngapain aja. Tp niatan gue sih pengen sedikit menghabiskan quality time bareng keluarga, niatan lainnya…….JALAN-JALAN DONK!!!

Sebenernya gue sendiri masih bingung, jalan-jalannya bakal berjalan sesuai rencana apa engga, secara belakangan ada aja gitu kejadian. Yg longsor lah, yg gunung meletus lah, yg gempa lah, yg tsunami lah…Perasaan ni negara ada aja musibahnya. Tp ingat….it always gets worst before it gets better!! Well…finger crossed!!

Ada beberapa pesan menarik waktu kemarin gue pamitan dengan orang-orang kantor:

1. “bla bla bla…Remember…you have the obligation to come back!! bla bla bla”

2. “bla bla bla…Remember…don’t stuck your nose where you don’t belong ok!! bla bla bla”

3. “bla bla bla…So I expect, when you come back, I’ll see your wedding ring!! bla bla bla”

Well…it’s boarding time. Got to go….A man needs his rest…and I’m having it now.

*ting ting ting*

May I have your attention please.

We are here to celebrate the marriage of our beloved friend, Gilang, with Ms. X…..Erm, I’m sorry Miss, I dont know your name. *big smile*

This guy, *pointing my finger to Gilang*, is an old friend of mine. Well, it’s all begin in 2003. I was very cute at the time. *emotionless face*. I just entered college. To me, I’m just a little boy from small village who about to start his big journey in a big city, very dramatic. In short, in New Student Orientation, I saw this man. *pointing my finger again to Gilang*. There he was, waiting for me in the corner, alone, like a cute lost little puppy, waving his tail to me. His eyes, that will make every heart melted, keep looking at me from a far, as like calling me to him. And then, I went to him and said, “Hi, I’m Riki, where’s your Mom??”. *my friend throws a glass at me*

Sebenarnya kejadiannya udah dari minggu lalu, tapi karna ga ada waktu buat nerusin draft yg udah stengah jadi ini, kesampaian juga ketunda ampe sekarang.

Sebelumnya gue mau cerita dikit, gue di sini tinggal dengan keluarga Malay-Singaporean, keluarganya Mr. Jufry. He has 1 son and 2 daughters, the oldest one is the son, and also his wife, Mrs. Wardah, ooo, she is such a nice person, very nice indeed. *thanx for the free food Mam*

Anyway, before I go any further, this is not a funny story. I might tell somepart of it in funny way, but as a matter of fact, when it happens, no way I can laugh.

So in short, Mr. Jufry got cancer, stage 4. I remember that night when his wife told me. It was 11 something at night, but Mrs. Wardah knocked my door and said that she brought food from someone wedding party, Mutton Briyani, and it’s not good if we reject someone kindness right??? God will be mad at us. *smirk*

So there I was, sitting together with Mrs. Wardah at the kitchen…eating.

And suddenly, I kinda forget how, then she told me Mr. Jufry got cancer, stage 4. I was very surprised, I mean literally surprised. I stop eating, and I can’t even swallow my food at the time. We just sit there, doing nothing for awhile, until Mrs. Wardah continues her story. But from her calm face…….no, from her emotionless face, I can see the pain screaming through her eyes…out loud!!

Ok…sebentar, buat lo yg mengira kalo gue bakal cerita ttg cewe yg baru gue ajak kenalan, lo bisa kembali lain kali karna ini bukan cerita ttg itu.

Gue bukan orang yg gampang akrab dengan orang lain, flamboyan, ato supel. I choose my own friends, and trust me I don’t have alot of them. Well, you can see my Friend list at Facebook, but I guarantee, I knew only a few of them. Gue juga bukan orang yg bisa langsung berbaur dengan lingkungan, langsung kenalan, make a funny joke or something else. Setidaknya, gue belom jadi orang sperti itu.

Rumus sederhananya,

if ketemu > 2:
    try:
        kenalan()
    except:
        pass

As simple as that. Tapi, yg namanya rumus, pasti ada pengecualian….rasanya kalo buat yg itu lo udah pada tau ceritanya yg mana.
