Anjing kecil (cute dog)
Seperti biasa, jam 3.30 Faris selalu mengantar Funa ke FRC tuk ikut program. Aku di rumah sambil menyelesaikan jahitan waktu itu. Tapi entah apa sebabnya tiba tiba aku dengar suara anak terengah engah di luar apartemen, kebetulan waktu itu jendela terbuka jadi suara apapun bisa masuk. Telingaku begitu tajam untuk mendengar sesuatu yang menurutku mencurigakan dan membuatku bingung olehnya, bahkan suamiku tercinta selalu saja memberi julukan kepadaku " mama ada daun jatuh saja dah bingung". hehehe apa bener ya? kali terlalu peka ni perasaan. walah.
Dan bener ketika kubuka pintu tampak anakku Faris sedang lari terengah engah dibelakangnya ada seekor anjing kecil yang lucu mengejarnya tepat di belakangnya. Hingga saat itu mungkin faris lagi kalut dia tidak masuk rumah tapi malah turun tangga lagi , eh si anjing ikutan turun tangga juga. Dan aku teriak teriak supaya Faris manjat sesuatu waktu itu aku saranin manjat dumpster saja, kali anjingnya gak bisa manjat, tapi FAris bilang anjingnya bisa manjat. Dan entah mungkin apa karena aku teriak teriak lalu si anjing kabur. Dan ketika anjingnya dahpergi aku tanya gimana kejadiannya tadi. Faris bilang bahwa tadi sehabis mengantar dik Funa dia duduk duduk di bawah sambil menikmati semilir angin , tapi aaku gak tahu entah bener apa tidak, bisa saja FAris lagi nunnguin temenny a si Yordan Muhammad. Dan begitu Faris tengah duduk, eh si anjing mendatanginya dan seketika itu juga FAris kaget lalu lari , eh ternyata si kecil ikutan lari di belakangnya hingga FAris naik tangga pun si kecil mengikuti. bahkan Faris sampai jatuh terpeleset di lantai. Dan ketika dia turun tangga lagi si anjing ikutan terus. Mungkin Faris tidak masuk rumah, takut anjingnya ikutan masuk rumah juga.
Seharusnya gak boleh ada binatang dalam lingkungan apartemen. Apalagi ini anjing dibiarin gitu aja gak pakae tali. Ternyata si empunya anjing ada di kejauhan. Dan begitu anjingnya datang langsung di pasang talinya. Untung gak ada polisi kampus, bisa di tiket tu si empunya anjing, apalagi sampe ngejar seseorang. Kalo ingat hal ini geli juga tapi kasihan juga sama Faris. ada ada aja.

my best day
Hari ini tepat 14 tahun yang lalu aku melahirkan anak pertamaku, Faris. Seperti kebiasaanku aku selalu ingin menyenangkan anaku yang ber ultah. Sehari sebelumnya ku tanya FAris mau dibuatin apa? Dia jawab nasi kuning. Dalam hati aku bisa gak ya buatin dia? Soalnya hari kamis aku harus nemeni Fira ke TUlsa ke Discovery-land , mau lihat opera rame2 bareng FRC, yang mana merupakan program Teen girl tapi karena jumlahnya sedikit or karena pulangnya mid night maka ibu dari masing2 teen girl yg ikut harus menemani. Dan memang baru kali ini aku pulang tengah malam jam 12 lebih, tapi diantar sama staf FRC tepat di depan rumah. Keselamatan sangat dijaga di sini. JAdi insya Alloh gak ada namanya kejahatan, tengah malam. Mungkinkarena ini kota kecil dan penduduknya sedikit.
Datang di rumah jam 12 malam lebih? besok pagi harus masak nasi kuning buat faris? bisa gak ya?
Ah, tapi aku ingat, kalo kita punya niat yang besar insya Alloh akan terlaksana. MAka keesokan paginya setelah sholat subuh, jam 5.30 pagi aku tidak tidur, tapi langsung menuju ke dapur, buat nasi kuning, kering kentang, ayam bakar, mie goreng dan telor bumbu bali. oya aku juga buatin kue brownies kesukaan Faris, aku buatin 2 resep tuk kali ini. KArena aku tahu , FAris sangat senang sekali kue brownies. Aku harus selesai sebelum jam 9.30. karena jam itu aku harus datang ke FRC tuk ikutankelas bookclub.
Alhamdulillah jam 9 dah kelar semuanya. Emang seneng masak ku muncul setelah aku hidup di peranatauan ini, KArena setiap bulan kita bayar sekitar $600 include gas, listrik, air. JAdi aku harus pandai pandai memanfaatkannya. Karena menurutku masak tidak masak bayarnya sama. hehehe. Aku pilih masak semua yang aku bisa, bahkan aku suka memasak aneka masakan indonesia yang sebelumnya aku hanya suka membelinya.
SEmua naggota keluarga tidur lagi sehabis subuh, karena emang masih pagi dan hari jumat sekolah libur, jadi kesempatan tuk bermalas malasan. hehehe. Begitu FAris bangun tidur, semua dah tersedia di meja. Seneng juga lihatnya.
Cuma hari itu gak sempat pergi keluar tuk beli hadiahnya, ditunda besok ya Ris? ternyata Faris setuju.
HAri Sabtu pagi setelah ke loundry dengan suami, biasanya anaku faris dan fira membantuku, tapi saat itu mereka masih nyenyak tidur, tuk Fira mungkin karena kecapekan, belakangan ini dia suka membantuku bersih2 dapur dan sekitarnya, cuci piring dan simpen sisa makanan pada malam hari. JAdi aku dan suami aja ke loundry pagi itu. AKu seneng pagi hari soalnya agar gak kepanasan.
Sesampai di rumah , aku bilang nti habis ashar kita pergi ke ross dan walmart ya, siapa mau ikutan ? sikecil bilang akan stay at home begitu juga fira. jadi hanya faris yg akan ikut tuk beli hadiah yang di idam idamkan. sepatu basket seperti milik temennya.
Ketika akan berangkat pergi kutanya lagi pada si kecilku, funa, HOney, bener gak ikutannih ke ross dan walmart? mama mau beli sepatu bua mas faris . Eh tanpa kuduga si kecilku bilang:" you never give me anything?" Ha? yach namanya anak kecil. selalu lupa. Aku sadar dulu waktu dia ultah dia gak sempat keluar rumah, pergi tuk beli hadiahnya, karena waktu itu setiap kali kita jadwal belanja, dia malah main ke rumah alexandria temen china nya sampe jam 10 malam baru dibalikin ke rumah, dan dia enjoy aja, malah funa sendiri yang memilih tuk main ke rumah Alex. Saat itu juga aku langsung beri FUna 15 buck($15). Eh tapi dia bilang kebanyakan ma. lalu dia balikain yang 10 buck, tapi aku balikin lagi dah 10 buck ($10) dah cukup? iya, oke nti kita pergi beli kesuakaan funa . akhirnya dia memutuskan ikutan ke ross. Lalu dia milih sepatu dan baju. Faris juga dapat sepatu yang diinginkannya. Lega rasanya dapat memberikan kesenangan pada anak2. Funa bilang: "this is my best day". Alhamdulillah.:)

Couple's night
Cople's night adalah salah satu acara yang dibuat FRC setiap satu bulan sekali, disamping acara lainnya ( Women's Night , Men Night dan Family Night) Biasanya aku hanya datang di family night saja. . Diberi label Couple night karena yang diundang emang hanya pasangan suami istri, atau untuk orang 'sini' bisa diartikan boy friend or girl friend. Yang pasti acara untuk sepasang manusia lawan jenis. Hari ini untuk pertama kalinya aku datang setelah setahun lebih aku tahu ada acara Couple night. Sebenarnya banyak yang memintaku untuk datang ke acara tersebut, lha tapi pasanganku enggan untuk acara yang seperti itu. Jadinya setiap kali diminta datang aku hanya bisa senyum .
Tapi hari ini entah ada angin apa kok tiba2 pasanganku malah balik bertanya " do you want to come in couple night?" aku langsung jawab aja. " if you want to go". agak politis dikit lah. padahal hatiku, langsung jawab iya, bahkan setahun yang lalu. hihihi. aku orangnya emang suka mencoba hal baru apapun asal halal. entah kenapa rasa ingin tahuku terhadap semua hal. apalagi sesuatu yang bagiku asing sekalipun. Selalu saja aku ingin tahu. Tak salah jika pasanganku memberi julukan terhadapku sebagai "hangat hangat tai ayam" maksudknya rasa ingin tahuku begitu besar, tapi setelah tahu dan ternyata emang hanya sebatas tahu saja, Kalo cocok akan ada tindak lanjutnya , tapi kalo tidak sesuai dengan hati nurani langsung saja kutinggalkan, bahkan aku bisa saja berbalik membencinya.
Hari ini tema dari couple night nya tentang wedding. Sangat tepat , sesuai acaranya . Ada beberapa kue khusus wedding dari beberapa negara. Tapi sayangnya aku tak tahu kalo kita bisa bawa kue khas pernikahan dan aku pikir kue apa ya yang pas tuk pernikahan di negeri kita? ragamnya begitu banyak, ah yang penting aku lihat dulu seperti apa. ada kue dari Ukraina, kuenya menurutku gak beda jauh dengan roti kita sehari hari , bahannya dari tepung, yeast, telor,milk, lalu di oven, dibuat kayak cake. lalu pengantin memotongnya, kue biasa tanpa ada hiasan seperti tart di negeri kita. mungkin yang khas di negeri kita ada tumpeng kali ya. pengantin memotong tumpeng? ah tapi kayaknya aku dulu malah memotong kue tart bertingkat 3, buatan mbak titik, familiku. Seingatku dulu waktu nikah aku gak pake adat jawa. tapi pake Islam aja. Masih inget dulu ketika aku mau keluar adiku mengancam yang jaga sound, kalo yg diputar musik jawa pengantinnya gak bakal keluar, lalu akhirnya terdengarlah sholawat .
Ada lagi sweet carrot dari India, dibuat dari wortel, susu kental manis, di beri kacang, gula. Rasanya manis sekali, tapi cocok di lidahku. Sebenarnya sweet carrot ini bukan kue khas wedding di India, tapi sweet carrot belakangan sangat terkenal di restorant India sebagai dessert, jadi temenku dari india (Rina) berusaha membuatnya. Menurutku sweet carrot cocok dimakan dengan kue dari Ukraina, karena kue dari Ukraina kurang manis dan sweet carrot sangat manis, jadi penggabungan yang pas menurut lidahku. Untuk kue dari Turmeknistan, menurutku seperti golang galing atau kalo meruaku menyebutnya dengan istilah "glembukan manis" seperti di indonesia, agak alot di gigitnya, rasa manis, Di Indonesia seingatku ini jajanan tradisional. hanya yang dari Turmeknistan ditambah hiasan gula pernik pernik jadi terlihat cantik. Ada makanan khas dari India yang lain, adalah bubur makaroni dan almond. Menarik juga ada bubur makaroni dikasih almond sepertinya ada rasa susu nya juga dan ground beef mungkin, rasanya gurih. Dari ke 4 kue tersebut kita disuruh menulis satu kue yang paling disenangi. Dan aku memilih sweet carrot dan ternyata banyak orang juga yang menyukainya, sehingga Rina lah juaranya. kapan 2 minta diajari.
Selain bicara tentang kue, kita diminta menuliskan 3 kata tentang pasangan kita. lalu satu per satu pasangan dipanggil dan menebak kira2 apa ya yang ditulis tentang diri kita menurut pasangan? Pasanganku menulis tentangku, teenager (karena aku selalu ingin terlihat muda kali, hehehe), very like to try something new ( selalu ingin mencoba hal baru) dan impatience ( tidak sabaran, hehe,). Setidaknya emang benar adanya. Emang harus belajarrrrr..
Berikut ada beberapa info, hanya untuk fun aja.

The Clock - Part 2
One day I took my seven-year-old son with me to shop an electric wall clock for the kitchen and found a whole counter full of them on sale at a discount store. I had trouble deciding which clock to buy. While I grasped one clock in my hand and looked at another, I asked my son which one her liked better.
"The one you're holding with the mouse in it, Mom," he said.
Before his words had sunk in, a real, live mouse jumped out onto the counter and scurried away. I shrieked so loud everyone turned to see what was wrong. I was so embarrassed. I tried to sneak out of the store. Everyone was staring at me. On the way out the door, my delighted son recited Hickory, Dickory, Dock.

Dora's dilemma illustrates conflicts we all have. When we went to be, have, or do something tat does not match the beliefs we hold about ourselves, our unconscious minds will block us. When the desired result is around the corner, it may send out danger signals in the form of a flood of fear or anxiety, or create tension and pain in the body, or block the neural pathways to stored memory so your mind goes blank or gets scrambles.
When you program the belief that you are no good at something - and the truth is that your mind and body are capable of doing it - your unconscious mind is faithful employee. It does what it is told - and you don't get what you want.

Adventures Growing Up
I was brought up in a small town in the countryside. Growing up in the countryside offered lots of advantages for young people. The only problem was that we often got into trouble as we made up stories that we acted out around town. I can remember one particular adventure in particular: One day as we were coming back from treasure. My best friend Tom said that he made an enemy ship in the distance. We all ran for cover and picked up a number of rocks to use for to set off on our attack, we slowly went along the path until we were face to face wit our enemy - the postman's truck! The postman was dropping off a package at Mrs. Brown's house, so we go into his truck. At the point, we really didn't have any idea about what we were going do next. the radio was playing so we turned down the volume to discuss what we would do next. Jack was all for switching on the motor and getting away with a truck was too much for us to believe. We all broke out in nervous laughter at the thought of us driving down the road in this stolen Postal Truck. Luckily for us, we got out of that truck as quickly as we could and took off down the road.

Adventures Growing Up
I was brought up in a small town in the countryside. Growing up in the countryside offered lots of advantages for young people. The only problem was that we often got into trouble as we made up stories that we acted out around town. I can remember one particular adventure in particular: One day as we were coming back from treasure. My best friend Tom said that he made an enemy ship in the distance. We all ran for cover and picked up a number of rocks to use for to set off on our attack, we slowly went along the path until we were face to face wit our enemy - the postman's truck! The postman was dropping off a package at Mrs. Brown's house, so we go into his truck. At the point, we really didn't have any idea about what we were going do next. the radio was playing so we turned down the volume to discuss what we would do next. Jack was all for switching on the motor and getting away with a truck was too much for us to believe. We all broke out in nervous laughter at the thought of us driving down the road in this stolen Postal Truck. Luckily for us, we got out of that truck as quickly as we could and took off down the road.

Mengisi Waktu Luang
Liburan kok lama amat ya. Enaknya mau buat nih, Ah, buat ketrampilan masa lalu aja. buat bunga dari stoking dan kerangjan dari sabun. ASyik ni kayaknya, Eh , oiya aku selesaiin dulu baju boneka nya. Aku ingat dulu waktu smp aku gak bisa nyongket baju boneka, tapi adikku pandai banget . entah ada berapa boneka yang dah di songketin bajunya, yang jelas aku masih ingat ada yang warna merah dan hijau. Sebetulnya bicara crochet(nyongket) aku juga bisa, tapi entah kenpa ya waktu jaman dullu aku tidak tertarik untu buat baju boneka, aku malah tertarik suka buat sarung bantal bulat yang tengahanya kayak matahari bersinar dan buat syal yang panjang adan ada namaku di syal tersebut. Ah kenangan masa lalu, tapi indah juga. Aku ingin membuatnya sekarang, tapi kok gak bisa ya, utamanya mebuat syal yang bentuk crochetnya kerang dan bisa dilatakkab huruf yang berbeda di kedua sisinya.
Untuk membuat baju boneka alhamdulillah dan bisa , meskipun gak sama persis buatan adiku waktu smp. ya.yang jelas aku cukup bisa membuat aja dah seneng, untuk mengisi liburan yang panjang ini. Maksud hati mau buat baju tapi kok mesinnya FRC pada rusak, dan ketika dah bisa aku harus menunggu, bahkan aku harus bisa ngasih tutoring bagaimana cara menggunakan mesin jahit, sebelum mesin jahit itu bisa dipinjamkan ke semua orang include diriku.
Alhamdulillah setelah browsing di you tube aku menemukan bagaimana cara membuat bunga dari stocking. dan bisa juga hari ini aku buat 2 bunga yang berbeda. Setelah kemarin menyelasaikan keranjang dari sabun mandi yang dikasih pin dan dibalut dengan pita. Bagus juga hasilnya tidak mengecewakan. meskipun hanya bermodal ingatan masa smp yang ketika itu aku diajari ole pegawai foto copy ku. Aku masih ingat betul bagaimana caranya, hai ini aku coba llagi dengan sabun mandi yang berbeda merk, sayangnya gdi sini gak ada sabun mandi yang berbentuk oval, sebenarnya sangat bagus yang berbentuk oval. Ya sudahlah, namanya gaka da akar rotanpun jadi . Yang penting hariku tidak kosong, aku ingin mencoba dan mencoba sesuatu yang dapat berguna . HAri2 ke depannya aku mau jadi volunteer craft kelas di FRC, jadi aku harus latihan dulu sebaik baiknya.

HAri yang menyenangkan
Bener bener ini kejutan buatku..pagi pagi dia nanya:"Mama mau masak apa, masak udang kayak kemarin ya?" Aku jawab:"Iya". dia nanya lagi"CAn I do it?
"Okay, you can do it"
"How I can do it the first?"
"Take the shrimp from refrigerator, and pour in the hot water. and you can chop three cloves of garlic".
"Okay"
"Put three spoon of oil and add the chops garlic, and add shrimp, white pepper, salt and chop of tomato.done".
"Okay, you can do it"
"How I can do it the first?"
"Take the shrimp from refrigerator, and pour in the hot water. and you can chop three cloves of garlic".
"Okay"
"Put three spoon of oil and add the chops garlic, and add shrimp, white pepper, salt and chop of tomato.done".
Fira dengan senang hati melakukannya. " Jangan lupa habis masak bersihkan semua peralatannya"
Apa yang menyebabkan dia serajin hari ini, pa mungkinkemarin aku berkata"Gak usah menunggu mama mati untuk jadi anak yang bisa membantu ortu. justru sekarang batu ortu biar ortunya panjang umur, gak selamanya mama dan papa menemani anak2nya, mama dulu seusia mbak fir adah gak punya mama."
Yang jelas ketika aku tidurpun Fira ingin memasak nasi dan nanya ukuran airnya, sampe rice cookernya di bawa ke kamar, aku antara sadar dan tidak hanya mengangguk aja. dan ketika aku bangun tidur, nasi dah masak, sebenarnya pagi harinya ku dah masak, cuma habis di sore hari karena kalo lauknya cocok pasti nasinya juga cocok.hehehe. Betapa senangnya ku melihat komporku putih bersih, gak ada cucian piring di sink, ada es teh di meja, sampah2 bersih, sampe kepikiran wah dah gak perlu pembantu lagi kalo di Indonesia..dan Fira memandikan adiknya sore ini. Ya Alloh, terimakasih atas nikmat yang telah Kau berika hari ini padaku. Semoga akan berlanjut tuk seterusnya. Thank you my dear..:)

O..you are fine
Hari ini aku akan ikutan olahraga di boomer lake. Suami tercinta suka lari muterin danau itu. Sore hari kita berangkat, hanya Funa yang ikutan, Faris dan Fira pilih di rumah aja. Sesudahsampe di boomer,kok banyak orang jilbaban ya..eh ternyata ada acara orang2 masjid ngadain gathering di Boomer. Tapi kita gak ikutan. akhirnya kami cari tempat lain yang berlawanan arah dengan kegiatan masjid, gak enak hati aja, gak ikutan.hehe. Lalu setelah nemu tempat parkir yang cocok dan gak panas, kami mulai dengankegiatan masing2. aku dan Funa jalan duluan, karena biasanya suami larinya sangat cepat. Aku dan Funa jalan duluan sambil bawa jump rope, untuk selinga. lumayan bersihhari inigak banyak pupnya bebek di jalan yang mengelilingi danau itu. Kalo bisa jalanmengeleilingi danau berarti kita dahjalan 5 miles. TApi aku hariini gak mau muter deh, soalnya ni hari pertama olah raga takutnya pada pegel2 nih kaki. Aku dan FUna dah agak jauhan, tapi kutengok ke belakang kok suamikugak nongol2 juga.akhirnya ku pandang arah di kejauhan, ehsuamiku ternyata memilhih arah yang berlawana dengankami, pinter. hehe. Aku dan Funa sambil bermain jump rope bergantian , eh tapi ada gak enaknya nih, si Funa masak bawa boneka kucing kecil yang terbuat dari keramik. sama bawa sebotol air putih, kalo dia main jump rope nya aku yang di suruh bawain kucingnya dna botolnya. WAh emang anaka anak nih. Ketika di jembatan yang sebelumnya aku dan Funa ingin masuk gang ke tengah danau, tapi kok banyak bebeknya ya..eh itu angsa or bebek, kalo bebek kok lehernya panjang kayakangsa, yuk mendekat lagi, eh tapi akhirnya sampe di tengah jalan ku putuskantuk melanjutkan perjalanan mengitari danau aja, gak usah ke jalan yang menuju tengah danau. Di jembatan Funa ingin berlama2 eh tapi kok lihat bawah ke air jadi takut juga, kali takut kalo jembatannya runtuh, jatuhnya di danau. Ku lihat ada yang mancing juga, ketika aku turun dari jembatan ada seseorang yang duduk di tepi danau menyapaku dengan ucapan salam "Assalamu'alaykum". Ku jawab"Wa'alaykumus salam". Eh ternyata ada bapak denagn anak kecilnya lagi duduk di kursi yang mereka bawa sendiri. LAlu aku hampiri mereka.kami nobrol , ternyata di namanya MAjid seorang Muslim dan lagi nungguin istrinya ,Khodijah yang lagi asyik mancing juga di danau ujung jembatan. Rupanya banyak ikannya juga di danu itu, TApi di sini untuk mancing tiap orangharus punya sim untuk lancing harganya SIM nya $ 25. emang nih semua gala da yang gratis disini.
Tiba2 ada 2bule datang yang setelah bercakap dgn MAjid, akhirnya mereka memutuskan untuk mancing dkeetnya MAjid. eh rupanya si BUle cewek hebat juga mancingnya setelah mengayunkan pancingnya , tak lama kemiduan kali 5 menit ada ikan yg memakan umpannya, bener ada ikannya tapi kecil cuma selebar telapaku, lalu ikannya di lepas kembali, dia bilang hanya untuk fun aja. Akhirnya si MAjid menawarkan kalo ikannya akan dia masak, lalu kembali si bule melempar umpannya, eh dapat lagi, ikannya lalu diberikan ke Majid.
Setelah itu, aku putuskan untuk jalan lagi dengan Funa, eh gak kusangka ada suamiku dari lawan yang berlawanan , lalu ya udah kita balik lagi aja menuju ke arah mobil sambil bercerita tentang kenalan baruku tadi dan tentang apa aja. Ya olahraga mulut lah. saking asyiknya aku ngobrol sampe lupa kami memenuhi jalan yang di tepi danau itu , jalanyansempit sih, kali lebih tepatnya di sebut jalan setapak untuk dua arah.ada garis tengahnya lagi.aku lupa kalo jalan disini harusnya di sebelah kanan. tanpa ku sadari ada mas bule lagi lari di belakangku, aku yang sadar ngebaki jalan langsung bilang "I'm sorry. eh si bule sambil pegang pundakku , karena aku bingung harus kenan atau menepi , kali supaya aku diam dia pegang pundakku. biar gak tertabrak. Dia bilang,"no..you are oke you are oke.."Lalu dia meneruskan perjalanannya eh pelariannya, karena sedang olahraga lari..

Dalam hatiku aku berkata:" Enak juga ya. coba kalo suamiku mau mengantar ke sini tiap hari gak usah masak, kayaknya lebih murah juga, karena buffet, kita bisa ambil apa aja yang penting wadah yang dikasih sama mbak kasir bisa ditutup. Nanti di rumah tinggal masak nasi. Kalo suami gak mau makan ayam dan daging , karena alasan halal haram, maka aku bisa beli sea food nya aja. plus sayurannya, kan lumayan. irit tenaga."
Sampe di rumah aku langsung cerita apa yang kualami dan apa yang kupikirkan pada suami tercinta. dan aku tak lupa bawa brosurnya sekaliyan , siapa tahu nti kalo emang cocok bisa dicoba ntuk selingan, biar gak bosen , makan masakanku terus tiap hari. Dengan penuh percaya diri aku pamerkan apa yang kualami. eh tapi apa sambutannya suami tercinta? gak tertarik. yah..
apa ya yang menyebabkannya? lalu aku baca semua menu..sampe akhirnya aku menemukan jawabannya, mungkin soal pork. ya soal yang satu itu. Kali dia curiga kalo2 wadah untuk masak bercampur juga dengan masakan pork, or waktu di cuci tempatnya sama sama satu cucian, hii. yach sudahlah, akhirnya keesokan paginya aku langsung semangat 45 masak sesuai ala ku , tapi aku agak cocokkan dikit dengan apa yang kulihat di restoran kemarin.hehehe.
aku masak udang , sayur buncis dan thokolan kedelai alaku, dan goreng ikan tilapia alaku juga. aku berharap anak dan suamiku mau makan lahap hari ini.
dan..ta da.... alhamdulillah usahaku gak sia sia, anakku yang paling susah makan, bangun tidur langsung makan, kali melihat udang, dan yang gampang makan dah 2 kali makan baru setengah hari..
aku ingat si kecil yang pualiiing susah makan, dimasakin apa ya? panas2 gini emang enaknya cuma minummmm apalagi ada es batu ada jus, sippp.lupa deh makannya. aku puter otak untuk menarik si sweetgirl , Funa. ah aku mau masak sayur bening aja, seperti di Indonesia, dulu funa tiap hari makannya pake sayur bening baya dan wortel dan tahu or tempe bacem, dia gak suka ayam or telor or daging. ya sudahlah untuk membangkitkan selera nya funa dalam hal makan akhirnya aku masakin sayur bening, dan kali ini dia sangat suka...karena kuahnya enak katanya, dia mau lagi tapi cuma kuahnya gak mau sayurnya lagi, kali aku ngambilinnya kebanyakan sayurnya.
alhamdulillah new china yang dirumah gak usah naik mobil laris manis hari ini. tuk hari berikutnya mau cari ide dulu di internet..soalnya bahan makanan di sini terbatas. untuk masakan Indonesia, tahu ada tapi beda, gak enak kalo digoreng or dibikin bacem, enaknya di oseng2.

Alhamdulillah cuma $ 20
Jumat 28 Mei 2010, pertama kali kena tiket pak Polisi $ 20 karena salah parkir di dalam kampus. Kukira kalo hari belum ful kegiatan gak ada salhnya parkir di tempat parkiran staf, eh ternyata pak polisinya lebih jeli, begitu melihat libomnya suami langsung datang deh ngasih tiket $ 20. ALhamdulillah tuk pengalaman. Kalo gak punya ijin parkir katanya bisa lebih dari $ 20 untuk satu kali kesalahan parkir. Ya,mungkin inilah resepnya orang pada patuh pada peraturan, polisinya gak bisa disuap. soalnya uang langsung bayar di bank dengan rekening masuk kas kantor. Mungkin negara kita bisa meniru hal seperti tersebut. Semua jalan ada speed limitnya kalo sampe kecepatannya melebihi speed limit dan diketahui polisi, bisa kena tiket juga, konon ceritanya kalo speed limit tiketnya bisa $ 200. Dan gak bisa disuap, alias ya harus bayar di ekening yang dah tertulis di tiket. Mau boong? gak bisa lah, ada record nya. malah bisa nambah masalah lagi. yo wis pak pol selamat bertugas.
Bila anak kecil pinter menggambar berarti pinter di ilmu juga ?
Pada acara pertemuan ortu dan guru di sekolah Funa, suamiku dikejutkan dengan pujian guru Funa,Mrs Iob, begitu panggilannya, Mrs Iob bilang "Anda sangat beruntung karena punya anak pinter seperti Funa, karena Funa menggambarnya sangat detail sampai bagian2 terkecil". ketika suamiku bercerita begitu , kontan aku inget guru TK nya Funa saat di Indonesia, saat itu saya berkomentar, lebih tepatnya khawatir ketika melihat sekolah Funa berada di bawah masjid. Kontan saya melihat tangga untuk naik ke masjid. Saya bilang ke guru Funa:"maaf bu. ini anak2 bahaya tidak ya kalo naik turun tangga masjid ini?" Kontan bu Guru ganti nanya"Emangnya kenapa Bu? biasa saja kok, anak2 biasa naik turun tangga sendiri, tidak bahaya." Aku mencoba tuk berkata yang sebenarnya aja deh langsung ke inti:" Begini, sejak belajar jalan, waktu kecil Funa suka sekali dengan yang namanya tangga, saya khawatir hal itu berlangsung di masjid ini, kan bu guru juga yang repot nantinya". eh bu guru malah menjawab" Oh..tidak apa apa Bu, malah itu salah satu ciri anak pandai, suka pada ketinggian."
Lha, apa iya ya? saya masih inget bener, waktu periksa ke dokter anak di sarjito, saat menunngu antrian Funa yang saaat itu masih belajar jalan, sangat senang begitu melihat tangga, kontan saat itu saat di titah langsung naik turun tangga, lha yang nitah ini yang boyoknya gak kuat, mana naik turun tangga lagi.akhirnya kami alihkan perhatiannya cari tempat yang gak ada tangganya,
Juga saat Funa berumur 2 -3 tahun ketika dia suka naik meja kursi dan aku bilangi:"Dik Funa, nti jatuh lho.." eh Funa menjawab diluar dugaanku :" Kan belum jatuh Ma.."

Waktu dia Tk kecil, aku inget banget, dia suka tampil di atas meja tamu, untuk menyanyi atau menari, caranya dia loncat dari kursi yg kutata berderet lalu berakhir ke meja tamu. Pernah saat itu ada tetangga datang dan Funa tetap aja menjalankan perannya, Kalo gak salah Bu Nasim yang datang waktu itu dan Funa tampil di meja tamu dengan menyanyikan lagunya peterpan po ya, sambil bawa mik dari botol dan sambil bercermin di kaca jendela. yach ada2 saja si adik. tapi hal itu mengingatkanku waktu kecil suka main menirukan gaya penyanyi dan aku pentas di atas dipan lebar juga.
Mudah2an apa yang dikatakan guru2 Funa menjadi kenyataan.amien.
