Huh! Sebal!


Pernah ngga kalian berpikir, kenapa Tuhan ‘menciptakan’ orang jahat di dunia ini? Kenapa ada orang-orang yang menyebalkan di sekitar kita? Bad guys do exist in this world.

Mulai dari pencopet, pencuri, perampok, pembunuh sampai pemerkosa. Atau orang-orang yang meyebalkan seperti backstabber, tukang gosip, tukang ngadu (domba), atau si mulut pedas.


Ya, mereka semua sama-sama memiliki KTP Bumi. Mereka tinggal, bernafas dan hidup di bumi ini.


Mereka ada di kantor kita. Mereka ada di fitness club dimana kita juga ikutan jadi member. Mereka ada di kelas yang sama di kampus atau sekolah. Mereka kadang bahkan ada di keluarga kita.

Hati-hati. Mereka kadang bisa berubah wujud. Mereka bisa menjadi domba, padahal aslinya serigala tulen. Yang aslinya adalah musuh, bisa pura-pura manis dan menjadi teman terbaik kita, karena mereka sadar bahwa pepatah “keep your friend close, but keep your enemy even closer” benar adanya. Mereka yang aslinya nenek sihir, bisa berubah wujud menjadi blond Barbie yang innocent.

Ah, Tuhan, kenapa mereka harus bernafas bersama-sama kita yang baik-baik?


Hey, siapa bilang kita baik?

Kata beberapa temen sekelas SD, Nie tuh genit dan berisik.

Kata beberapa kumpulan di SMP, Nie sangat menyebalkan, tukang marah dan tukang cari perhatian (untuk konfirmasi please ask Stefy :P)

Kata beberapa orang di SMA, Nie sombong, plin-plan, tukang gossip dan sangat menyebalkan.
Di bangku kuliah, Nie suka dijuluki sok rajin, sok suci atau kuper.

Siapa bilang Nie baik?

Siapa bilang kita baik?

Anyway, kita semua pasti pernah berbuat salah. Kita pasti pernah mengatakan atau melakukan sesuatu yang membuat orang lain kecewa, sakit hati, marah, benci, dendam atau menangis. Sadar atau tidak sadar. So, untuk menghadapi orang-orang yang kita masukkan dalam kategori ‘jahat’ dan ‘menyebalkan’, anggap saja mereka orang-orang yang membutuhkan kasih anugerah lebih. Jadi, kita harus belajar untuk lebih mengasihi mereka (I know it ain’t easy). Mungkin kita bisa awali dengan berdoa untuk mereka, maybe?

Untuk menghadapi sisi menyebalkan dalam diri kita, ya, buruan temukan apa yang menyebalkan itu dan berubah! Kalau ada beberapa orang yang mengeluh (or ngomel) karena kita suka telat (telat datang ke kantor), telat apel, telat mengumpulkan tugas atau telat bangun, ya harus dikit demi sedikit diubah. Dulu Nie termasuk anggota ‘telat’, so, Nie always menyetel jam (tangan ataupun dinding dan handphone) minimal 10 menit lebih cepat. Jadi, frekuensi terlambat sekarang sudah sangat minim.

Kalo pacar mengeluh “kamu jangan suka ngambek donk! Masak dikit-dikit marah!” Nah, ini signal yang harus diperhatikan. Buruan berubah! Remember, you can rule over your anger and emotion. Don’t let them control you! Nie yakin pasti bisa, karena sudah dipraktekkan. Heheheh,… Ini adalah salah satu New Year Resolution-ku! Sudah beberapa kali Nie be-te abis ama Stefy dan dongkol banget dalam beberapa minggu terakhir ini tapi, Nie berhasil menendang jauh-jauh perasaan marah, dan jadi gembira lagi! Psstt,.. bahkan pada saat PMS, lho! Yipee,…

Tapi, tetap ingat untuk be yourself ya.
Nah, bagi yang belum punya New Year Resolution, mungkin sudah bisa mulai memikirkan, dengan satu tekad, untuk tidak menjadi orang yang menyebalkan di tahun 2008 ini. Baik di mata dunia ataupun di mata Tuhan.

Happy New Year, all

What would you do if you could live another life

What would you do if you could live another life just for one day? This line is quoted from "Last Chance Harvey" . I have watched this film twice and still feel so touched everytime I watch it. Kate Walker, the main character in this film, uttered this question to Harvey Shine. In this story, both of them lived a life that is not very happy-chappy. Kate lived in a pathetic, boring life; Harvey in a screwed one. When Kate asked this question, both of them seem to ponder: what if I could live a different life, just for one day, just to try out. This question makes me ponder, too: what would I do if I was given a chance to live any kind of life I want, just for one day? Where would I be? What would I do? Who would I be? Lately I have been thinking about the life I am living right now. Everything is so well-planned. I graduated from high school, went abroad to study, came back home to work, went abroad again to do my master, working in a reasonably good organisation, and going ho...

The unexpected wedding

Almost every girl has ever dreamt of her wedding day – what she would wear, who would come, who the prince charming is. I would say, every girl must have a certain expectation and standard when it comes to a wedding: it could be grand, small celebration, family only, destination wedding – you name it. My dream wedding happens to me a small, close friends and family only wedding. If you grew up in the 90s, you would know a boy band called 98 degree. They had a song titled ‘I do’. If you search on YouTube, you will find the video clip, which shows a beautiful wedding ceremony. That’s my dream wedding! My whole life, I was picturing that. Twelve years ago, I started dating this guy, who is now my husband. His family background is very different than mine. Among other things – which we thankfully have tolerated and worked on – the way to throw a wedding party is totally different. His dream wedding party is ‘tell the world I am getting married’-kind of party. Yes, he wanted grand...

Cold Feet

One of my closest friends is getting married tomorrow another one in May another one in November. and an ex-classmate is also getting married in April/May. and, I dreamed about getting married last night. I remember some months ago I was so enthusiastic with the idea of getting married. Although I knew that our relationship was not yet ready for that stage, I was so pushy to Stefy. I had asked him when exactly we would get married. Ah well, it was all the flashy things that I longed for. Right now, what I want is to avoid it! I am just not brave enough to throw myself into this new status. Don't get me wrong, I am probably just like any other girls out there who like the beautiful wedding gown, like to be made up, like to be the queen of the night. But, have you ever considered what would happen after you wave off the guests and head to your own home, starting your new chapter of life? or what would happen after the happy chappy honeymoon? Would we then live...
