First Driving Lesson (Finally!!!)

Today I had my first driving lesson with my daddy (and my eldest sista actually). So so so so EXCITED!! You may wonder why I am so excited, rite? Okay, maybe not but let’s just say yes to cheer me up :D

Well, I feel so happy because this is what I have been waiting for all this time! It’s been one of my targets since I was in 10th grader. You may check this one out. And I think it’s not much because most of my friends have had their own identity cards (let’s call it KTP) and later after having that one, they’ll have had their own driving licenses. Though some of them only have the SIM C (for motorcycle only), but the rest have both SIM A (for car) and SIM C. So I am kinda envy, peace :) But I could do nothing because I can’t drive so..... I just lay back and take a deep breath, realizing this: I’m so old-fashioned that I can’t drive a car in this modern era.

Do you know why I really want to learn how to drive? I give you the reason, I want to be a cool woman. I don’t want to be a full-time-housewife, I wanna have my own career and I am inspired by them who have their own cars and drive themselves to their offices. Later, I also want to drive my kids to their schools. I want to be a mobilized woman by not depending on others. (you may laugh)

And why I said FINALLY?

You may check the link I have given you above once again. Do you find any clue? Well, it is my biggest obstacle to not practicing how to drive a car. I ALMOST HAVE NO TIME. Yes, it’s yours to claim that I’m busy-wannabe (or in Bahasa we say sok sibuk) but I’m telling you, I am very busy. I had many things to solve in 11th grade (let me mention: Nouveau, SDC, S2LC, PERISAI) and I was like being chased by the deadlines and perfection. Also, as a student, we won’t forget this: HOMEWORKS. Super! I only had limited time to be home, and in that limited time, THERE WERE MANY HOMEWORKS TO BE DONE (sigh). That’s why I’d rather spend my holiday with sleeeeeeping better than practicing how to drive a car.

Well, I also want to thank one my (annoying #ups) classmates, Caca, who one day said ‘Eh, aku kemarin udah latian mobil lagi... Udah bisa belok!’ which later woke me up and motivated me to practice driving a car as soon as possible.

And here I am. This morning I went to Taman Sari Regency Sidoarjo (If I’m not mistaken, I forget the name of the cluster actually) with my dad and my sister (huh, she decided to take a part in this practicing time in last minutes and disturbed me all time). Well, I still can’t drive carefully since it’s just the first meeting (but wishing there will be many more meetings after this) but yeah I’m trying. You know, my car isnt the automatic one so I had hard times balancing and controlling the gas and kopling (I dont know the English ._.v) button. And also my dad once got angry saying ‘Udah udah wes nggak usah! Kamu ikut les nyetir yang mbayar aja sana! Kalo abis kopling trus ngegas tapi mesinnya mati terus gini lama-lama mobilnya protol mbak’ (and trying to uninstall the key) and I was crying (this part is humiliating). So please pray for me :)

And by the way, I hope it’s not too late to say HAPPY IED 1434 H. Minal Aidin Wal Faidzin :)

Sorry I don’t ask any apology by texting or sumthin like that since my cellphone is a total wreck.

Happy Holiday All!

Bismillah, Senyum Semangat!

Every struggle will never be easy.

I light up my spirit for this year’s event. And knowing that 2013 is gonna be my first and last experience of having PERISAI in the list of mine, really means something. That I only have this short period of time, to contribute for Smala’s next generation.

Began on April, this month, July, is the third month of fight and sacrifice.

Fight. Yes, fight against myself. Everytime the going-home-bell rings, I fought against my self to running as fast as I could to the mosque (and pray since the practice will be held 45 mins after the bell) instead of texting my dad to pick me up. I chose to sleep late at night to finish my homework instead of missing one practice to finish it earlier. I chose to spend my time doing the tasks of PERISAI instead of spending it for surfing on the internet. And here I am, with 91 other great people and the BPH-BPI ones who keep standing tall, welcoming the freshmen.

Sacrifice. Yes, the sacrifice of everything. I let my self being tired of having the material for PERISAI instead of having ones after window-shopping. I missed my family gathering instead of not attending one practice. I chose to go to school almost everyday at 6 o’clock instead of sleeping till noon. And here I am, with 91 other great people and the BPH-BPI ones who keep our spirits on fire, just to make sure that everything’s gonna be good.

And I don’t regret every single step I’ve taken.

I knew this is gonna be hard. Sometimes I let my mind consider the chance of giving up and leaving. It wasn’t until last week’s practice I knew that I only wanted to have a revenge. Then I realized I was totally wrong. This journey is aimed for the tough ones. For them who have succeeded fighting themselves after all the hard times, and who have sacrificed themselves for better generation.

I've learned many lessons. Hardwork, coordination, spirits, and many others. I dont care about these ‘tan lines’ or this holiday-without-holy-day thing. But one, I am ready for making history and creating better generation. Oh, sorry, WE’RE READY! In the name of Allah, we’ll prove it TOMORROW!

PERISAI 2013, SMALA!

Bismillahirrohmanirrohim.

The Power Of.... Internet.

No intention to offend again or whatever you call it
But this is the reality of how big the impact of internet is
Especially social media

It makes problems
It exaggerates them
It heals them itself
And makes them disappear, gradually...
Like nothing ever happened

Just remember, there is no cure for broken heart.
So it remains.

Still, no intention to offend again ;) peace!

Mie Ayam Terenak di Dunia!

Dulu, sebelum pindah ke rumah asli di Sidoarjo ini, aku kan tinggal di rumah bude-ku di Margorejo. Pada tau nggak? Pas banget di depannya Maspion Square alias Giant. Jadi kalo butuh apa-apa, tinggal nyebrang. Dan kalo laper tengah malem dan gak ada makanan di rumah, enak deh tinggal nyebrang juga beli AW atau warung pinggir jalan yang enak-enak dan macem-macem. Ada penyetan, bakso, tahu tek, nasgor, banyak deh.

Nah, di depan Giant itu juga ada mie ayam uenaaaaaaaakkkkk pol. Suwumpah uwenak pek kalian harus cobak. Semua mie ayam kalah sama mie ayam ini. Nama warungnya Mie Ayam Pak No. Dulu sebelum pindah aku sering beli mie ayam di situ. Jaman baheula dulu harga semangkok masih 2500-an, terus naik-naik sampe sekarang harganya udah 5000. Dan tetep enak, bisa nambah ceker (+2000) dan bapak/ibuk penjualnya juga ramah dan baik hati.

Kebetulan tadi aku pulang dari sekolah belum makan siang dan laper ada sinyal kalo di rumah bakal gak ada makanan. Akhirnya aku mampir deh di Mie Ayam Pak No ini. Sudah lama banget nggak makan di sini. Dan aku seneng banget bisa makan sini lagi wihiiii. Aku pesen mie ayam ceker sama es teh sama krupuk 2 plastik total cuma 10000 lho, murah kaaan. Nah terus pas pulang, pas abis bayar, tiba-tiba ibuk penjualnya nanya gini..

"mbak pulang ke mana? ke rumah nenek?"
"oh, iya, buk."
"oalah, yg disana? jauh mbak" (sambil tangannya nunjuk)
"yang di sidoarjo buk. hehe iya."
"yasudah, ati-ati ya mbak."

Waaaah aku langsung terharu peeek.
Ternyata ibuknya masih inget sama aku dan mengikuti perkembangan-ku pek!!!

Semoga laris terus yah, pakbuk, mie ayam super-nya :)

Aku, Terlalu Cinta.

MP : Selamat datang di pos cinta almamater, dek. Kamu tau artinya cinta?

B : Siap. Tau, Mbak!

MP : Apa artinya?

B : Siap. Rasa suka pada sesuatu, Mbak!

MP : Kalau artinya almamater?

B : Siap. Orang-orang yang baru lulus dari sebuah institusi pendidikan atau semacamnya, Mbak!

MP : Berarti artinya cinta almamater?

B : Siap. Rasa suka atau cinta para alumni atau lulusan sebuah institusi mbak.

MP : Gini ya, dek. Mbak luruskan lagi. Almamater adalah tempat kita menuntut ilmu. Jadi dapat disimpulkan kalau cinta almamater adalah rasa cinta kita pada sekolah kita.

B : Oh, siap. Iya, Mbak!

MP : Menurutmu rasa cinta almamater itu bisa diwujudkan dalam hal apa saja, dek?

B : Siap. Banyak, Mbak! Contohnya ya berprestasi di bidang yang kita kuasai sehingga bisa mengharumkan nama Smala.

MP : Oh, gitu. Kalau sekarang kamu saya minta cium tembok Smala mau?

B : Siap. Mau, Mbak!

MP : Lho, kenapa kok mau? Itu salah satu bentuk cinta almamater-mu?

B : Siap. Iya, Mbak!

MP : Sekarang mbak tanya. Itu ada manfaatnya atau tidak mencium tembok Smala?

B : Siap. Tidak, Mbak!

MP : Terus kenapa kamu mau disuruh cium tembok Smala?

B : Hmm...... Nggak ..... Tau........ Mbak.

MP : Mbak luruskan lagi. Cinta almamater itu bisa diwujudkan di banyak cara, tapi kalau tidak bermanfaat ya jangan dilakukan. Paham? Proaktif-nya dipakai, dek!

B : Siap. Iya, Mbak!

MP : Ya sudah, lanjutkan.

Honestly, I've loved Smala more than I thought I would be.

And realizing there is only less than a year to experience really .... hurts.

Yes, I'm afraid of losing.

PS : MP = Mbak Perisai, B = Aku.
