Unexpected a.k.a tidak diduga-duga

Hari ini Oma belajar sesuatu dari Oom Coy, seorang teman kantor yang sudah Oma anggap seperti kakak. Oom Coy yang baik hati dan tidak sombong hari ini menemani Oma instalasi komputer di sebuah SD Negeri di kawasan Surabaya Barat. Instalasi komputer ini adalah bagian program CSR Oma yang sedang on-going sekarang.

Hari ini, kami membawa 1 PC dan 1 Modem untuk diinstal di SD itu. Semua sudah dicek. Semua OK! Pokoknya we have made sure kalau hari ini PC dan Modem sudah terpasang dan sudah bisa connect ke internet. Kami berangkat dengan semangat 45.

Sesampainya di sana,....

TIDAK BISA CONNECT!!


*&$@#?!!?@*#*!#

Kok bisaaa?? Padahal tadi semua beressss!!! Padahal tadi semua connect???? Kok?????

Oom Coy bilang "ya, ini dia! Kadang di lapangan tuh terjadi hal-hal yang tidak terduga. Ya, kita harus siap dengan semua ini."

Oma pun merenung.
Oma ini adalah tipe orang yang selalu stick to the plan. Janji pergi jam 7, ya harus jam 7 teng berangkat. Janji mau makan di restoran Jepang, ya harus makan di restoran Jepang. Planning untuk menyelesaikan tugas by 10 o'clock, ya harus selesai by 10 o'clock (or at least around this time, lah!). Pokoknya, semuanya harus stick to the plan.

Kalau nggak?
bakalan, be-te, be-te, be-te, ah! Basi, basi, basi, loe! (kayak lagunya Kaka 'Slank' dan Dewiq).

Tapi, seperti kata Oom Coy. Di lapangan, atau kalo bole Oma rephrase, di dunia ini, selalu saja ada yang dinamakan faktor X, unexpected factor, unexpected thing, yang come in our way, yang membuat pekerjaan kita terhambat, molor, harus ganti planning, dan, op kors, harus rela kecewa.

Seperti juga dengan laptop Oma. Mo curhat nih! Laptop Oma sudah bisa dinyatakan UZUR alias sudah TUWIR dan waktunya GANTI LAPTOP. *nangis darah* Secara harga laptop sekarang muahaaaal dan Oma uda ga punya uang :( Hadooooh,...

Emang Oma sudah mengindikasi kalo laptop Toshiba jadul itu sudah mulai menua. Kadang hang, sudah minta di-re-instal, kadang cd-rom nyangkut, pokoknya bikin sebel deh! Dan, tadi malam, resmi laptop hitam itu minta dilengserkan. CD Rom sudah tidak berfungsi, microsoft office hang, dan lemooooot!

Haruskah ku teteskan air mata di pipi,....

Jadinya, yeah,... Oma harus ready dengan this unexpected thing. Jadiii, harus nabung lagi, dan berharap by September, before that, Oma sudah bisa membeli sebuah laptop dengan harga terjangkau (kecualiiii ada yang memberikan Oma hadiah Macbook Air) :P

Hiks,..

Oleh sebab itu harus berdoa dulu kepada yang Master Faktor X di atas sana..biar semua faktor X bisa berjalan sesuai dengan apa yang kita mau..

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...

The Bright Side

Always look at the bright side of life - Monty Phyton This song has been sung during the Olympics closing ceremony last year; and this has been my cheer up song ever since. Thus, referring to my earlier blog about how I was not happy with the way we got married, well, I tried to look back and to see the bright side of that circumstance. So if I could share a few things, which might be helpful to you, who are in the middle of preparing a wedding, here they are: 1. Wedding dress I was really happy with my wedding dress. I love the designer, Fifi Firianty , which was very helpful and very professional, and of course her work is stunning. From the first time I met her, I knew there was a click. So, if you look for a designer, who has a European style, please do consider her.  But just some tips, make sure you ask to have you dress fitted one day before the wedding. I had it measure 3 days before the wedding, but in the last 3 days, I ate almost nothing. So this dress...
