			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, kemarin malam aku mengalami salah satu malam yang tidak akan kulupa. Well, salah satu keuntungan pekerjaanku dan berada diposisiku adalah aku punya privilegde untuk memilih liputan mana yang ingin kuliput (jika klien kami yang merupakan salah satu brand rokok terbesar mensponsori konser musik artis international).</p>
<p>Jadi, begitu aku tahu Kelly Clarkson akan konser di Jakarta, aku langsung cek siapa sponsor-nya. Dan yes! Klien kantor kami adalah sponsornya) dan aku begitu senang aku pun mengumpulkan lagu2nya satu album untuk menambah mood &#8216;in concert&#8217; itu sendiri. (itu ritual yang sering aku lakukan jika ingin meliput konser musik, agar dapat &#8216;feel&#8217; nya).</p>
<p>Tapi ternyata ada sebuah issue yang membuat klien kami harus menarik keterlibatannya dalam acara itu, meski begitu konser jalan terus. Dan yah tentu saja,&#8230;semua batal. BATAL&#8230; kesempatanku menonton kandas. Aku bisa saja membeli tiketnya, tapi harga yang mahal membuatku well.. harus berpikir 10 kali untuk menonton itu.</p>
<p>Kemudian, hari-hari berlalu dengan sibuk. Aku sibuk dengan pekerjaan dan deadline. Sampai suatu hari, ketika kami di taksi menuju meeting, BFF ku di kantor mengatakan bahwa dia punya sesuatu yang aku mau akhir-akhir ini. Stupid me.. pikiranku langsung ke apparel (sepatu, baju, celana, dan tas yang memang sedang kuincer) tapi kupikir itu tidak terlalu urgent, dan ga mungkin BFFku beliin itu hehehe&#8230;.(kecuali ulangtahunku).</p>
<p>&#8230;.and suddenly i screamed..very loud! Aku benar2 kegirangan..aku terlonjak-lonjak senang karena aku tahu apa yang dia punya. Iya, dia punya tiket konser Kelly Clarkson (3 buah). Kita langsung berencana untuk pergi bertiga dengan 1 lagi teman kami dan kemudian kami sibuk dengan rencana baju dan kostum yang harus kami pakai.</p>
<p>Akhinya, pada hari &#8216;H&#8217; kami siap! kami sudah punya sepatu, baju dan kami siap &#8216;jumping-jumping&#8217; di konsert.</p>
<p>and&#8230; the concert really really awesooomeee. We dance and sing a long. Gosh.. we are screaming just to express our energy. Kelly just so perfect up there. She sangs 20 song which not a hit is left behind. Bener-bener sebuah konser yang memuaskan. Aku sendiri sangat menikmatinya, karena kami bisa ambil posisi agak ke tengah dan lumayan punya space untuk bisa bergoyang. I really really happy on that night! so happy, the euphoria still got in me untill today&#8230;</p>
<p>Really. Awesome..</p>
<p>here is some pics from Kelly Clarkson concert in Jakarta:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_157" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://singleout.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/90286938.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-157" title="Colleagues meeting in a cafe" src="http://singleout.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/90286938.jpg?w=300&#038;h=199" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">source: gettyimages.com</p></div>
<p>After you read this, maybe you can call me a whinner, or complainer or or a a quiter.. I can’t forbid your thought right, but at least I got some release.</p>
<p>So, I remember back then when I am looking a vacancy in one company to others. The requirements always mention: Able work in team or individually person? off course this is depent the position you are applying.</p>
<p>After I work one to another company in my career life, I learnt how to work as team and how to work individually. Working  individually actually fun if you are one man show.  You can just finish all your work without waiting result from others job. Your responsibility is your jobdesc and that’s it. Okay, your trouble is also yours only.</p>
<p>Meanwhile Team Work is working as team. Many people connected with your job. When you are in team, whatever you do, it will relate with others. If you are delaying jobs, so others also will be delayed. But, you can also have fun, because when the problems came, you don’t have to face it alone. (got my point? <img src='http://s2.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  )</p>
<p><strong>So, which one do you choose?</strong></p>
<p>Team work, which is my topic now, is more complex that just working in team. What is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teamwork" target="_blank">Team work</a> as term, I don’t know for sure, Wikipedia maybe explain it better that I am.</p>
<p>But what in my thought, working as team, is not just connected with others, but you have to press your ego, your idealism, and more broaden your knowledge.</p>
<p>You also learn to be more tolerate, and support (that’s for sure) each others.  The poin is not just finisih your desc job, but look ahead to the success of the project.</p>
<p>Okay, I mentioned support before. But how far support is that be?</p>
<p>Hmm.. support is,well..support. Is that mean replacing? Err.. that’s 2 different words though kinda similar meaning. Support and Replace. Well, let’s see.. (Go to google.com ^_*)</p>
<p><a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/support" target="_blank">Definition Support</a> &amp; <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/replace" target="_blank">Definition Replace</a></p>
<p>But, 2 weeks before I learnt another lesson. First, I am not super woman, I am not that tough, and I hate when people don’t responsible. Yes, some people just disappointed me at works. One just wuusshhh in sudden, and only left me some of notes to do which is not ‘supporting’ work. Others, practically no sense of concern what I am gonna through. Practically I am doing his job which should be finished  a few weeks ago. Another one just don’t give me any back up and support and busy about her personal plan.</p>
<p>Disappointed and angry. The first time I feel I have no one to support me. I said my objection about this to my best friends in office. And yeah..they tried to help me, and I really appreciated. I know I should not asked them because they are not in in charge in this project. But they want to help me.</p>
<p>I feel mad, and yes disappointed. And I said that to every team member in this project. I need they know what I was facing last couple weeks. And yes, they know and they are felt sorry. They should be.  One question that I  asked to them, how they just walked away when I need them?</p>
<p>So now that passed. I feel relief. But from that moment I know who’s the person I can count on and not, and who’s the person that only care about their self. If that happened to you, what will you do?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_143" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 230px"><a href="http://singleout.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/200341320-001.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-143" title="bride" src="http://singleout.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/200341320-001.jpg?w=220&#038;h=300" alt="" width="220" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">source: gettyimages</p></div>
<p>“Jadi, elo dijodohin gitu sama <em>emak</em> elo?” Aga berbicara sambil melahap bakpao babi asin di depan gereja setelah mendengar ceritaku. “Yaa&#8230;asumsi gue sih begitu. Tapi sampai hari ini, yang namanya Bagas itu pun gak nongol-nongol depan gue,” jawabku sambil melirik sepasang muda mudi yang terlihat bergandeng mesra. “Eh, liat deh, Rachel sekarang sama James yaa..?” tanyaku. Aga yang sedang mengunyah bakpaonya mendengus sambil memutar bola matanya.</p>
<p>“Plis deh Cil, elo kemana aja sih? Mereka kan emang udah lama banget pacarannya. Ih elo tuh amnesia ya? Kan elo juga yang kasih tahu gue!” Aku hanya mencengir lebar sambil menggaruk-garuk kepala. Memang tidak sopan sih jika sehabis perayaan ekaristi, kami justru ‘siaran infotainment’. Tapi pembicaraan siapa dengan siapa sekarang sudah seperti makanan sehari-hari aku dengan Aga yang menjadi pengamat kehidupan muda mudi di gereja kami</p>
<p>“Eh, masa sih? Oia ya..aduh bego amat sih gue. Mulai pikun rupanya,” ujarku sambil mengetuk-ngetuk kepalanya berharap dengan begitu otakku agak sedikit lebih ‘encer’. Sepertinya sudah saatnya aku mengonsumsi ginko giloba, suplemen penguat memori.</p>
<p>“Tapi ngomong-ngomong pacaran, elo sama Andri’kan udah lama ya Ga, so, kapan&#8230;” Aga langsung membuat isyarat <em>time out</em> dengan kedua tangannya yang telah bebas dari bakpao.</p>
<p>“<em>Time out</em>! Jangan sampai elo menanyakan pertanyaan sama yang elo selalu keluhkan ke gue ya Cil,” Aga sewot sambil cemberut.</p>
<p>“Hahaha&#8230;..upps! Gue lupa! Bener deh Ga. Jangan sampai deh gue jadi seperti Tante Bagio yang rumpi itu,” ujarku sambil cekikikan. Namun pertanyaan ‘kapan kawin’ sangat menggoda untuk tidak ditanyakan kepada pasangan yang dirasa telah menjalin hubungan cukup lama. Perumpamaannya ibarat,kamu lagi makan, pasti ada saja orang yang bertanya:”Makan apa?”</p>
<p>“Ga, gue mau rapat KKMK nih ntar jam 10.00, jangan pulang dulu dong! Temenin gue sampai rapat mulai yaa&#8230;”ujarku meminta Aga menunda pulangnya.</p>
<p>“Andri nunggu gue nih di parkiran..bagaimana Cil?”</p>
<p>“Yee&#8230;.telpon dong, suruh nunggu <em>kek</em> sebentar. Setengah jam doang. Anak-anak yang lain soalnya juga lagi pada pulang dulu,” ujarku memberikan beberapa penjelasan logis. Agatha, sahabatku akhirnya mengeluarkan ponselnya dan menghubungi Andri. Setelah ada sedikit perbincangan sambil ketawa-ketiwi, Aga menutup ponselnya dan kembali duduk bersamaku di tangga depan gereja.</p>
<p>“Bagaimana?” tanyaku. “Iyaa&#8230;<em>you win</em>! Lagian Andri sebenarnya mau ke bengkel. Daripada gue bengong trus digodaain sama orang bengkel, mending gue di sini nemenin elo,” ujar Aga lagi sambil tersenyum manis dan memberi tatapan <em>i-am-your-best-friend-and-you-owe-me</em>!.</p>
<p>Aku sangat salut sama sahabatku satu ini. Jujur, aku tidak tahu apa yang membuat dia dan Andri tidak kunjung meresmikan hubungan mereka dalam ikatan suci pernikahan.Mereka telah menjalin hubungan cukup lama dan sepertinya sudah sangat mengenal satu sama lain. Aga sendiri sudah bekerja dan cukup mapan begitu juga dengan Andri. Dengan gajinya sebagai manager, seharusnya mereka sudah bisa mengumpulkan uang untuk biaya menikah. Selain itu, orang tua mereka berdua terlihat sudah cocok dan mau ‘berperan serta’ jika mereka memutuskan untuk menikah. Bagiku mereka adalah <em>perfect couple</em>. Cinta, pengertian, saling menghargai, dan menerima apa adanya antara satu dengan yang lain. Tapi, itupun tidak membuat Aga dan Andri segera menikah.</p>
<p>“Ga,&#8230;jangan marah dulu. Sebenarnya apa yang membuat elo tidak kunjung menikah dengan Andri?” tanyaku penasaran. Halaman gereja sudah kosong. Beberapa orang yang biasanya mengumpul dan saling bertegur sapa telah pulang dan melanjutkan aktivitas mereka.</p>
<p>“Emang nikah itu seperti pesan nasi goreng <em>delivery order</em>?” tanya Aga retoris. “Maksud elo?”</p>
<p>“Ya,maksud gue, menikah itu gak gampang tau Cil. Mentang-mentang kita cinta sama pasangan kita, semudah itu kita memutuskan menikah dengannya? Gue cinta sama tinkerbell, anjing gue, tapi bukan berarti gue nikah sama dia’kan?” jawab Aga asal.</p>
<p>“Yee, elo gimana sih? Masa rasa cinta ke Andri disamain ke Tinkerbell? Kasian amat Andri&#8230;”</p>
<p>“Hehehe&#8230;.becanda tau! <em>But</em>, <em>basically</em> menikah itu gak semudah itu deh.”</p>
<p>“Gak mudah bagaimana? Elo kan tinggal mengkangkang aja&#8230;beres’kan?!” jawabku juga asal. Alhasil, Aga justru menoyor kepalaku karena jawabanku yang vulgar.</p>
<p>“Elo <em>ngaco</em> banget <em>sih</em>!Menikah neng&#8230;bukan kawin,”  Aku hanya senyum lebar. Namun, beberapa menit kemudian kami berdua saling terdiam. Kami membaca warta paroki bagian berita perkawinan.</p>
<p>“Kenapa disini <em>ngomong</em>nya berita perkawinan? Bukan berita pernikahan? Hayooo&#8230;.?” tanyaku menantang. Aga dengan konyolnya juga mengiyakan karena ia sama bingungnya.</p>
<p>“Gak usah dibahas deh! Elo suka nanya aneh-aneh,”Aga kembali mengeluarkan ponsel dan mengirim pesan singkat kepada Andri.</p>
<p>“Eh, eh, kemarin kata nyokap, pengeluaran biaya pernikahan Aline itu sampai 70 juta-an lho!” ujarku sambil membuka topik tentang pernikahan salah satu teman kami yang belum lama menikah. “Ya iyalah&#8230;, secara ia ngerayain pesta di gereja juga, di gedung juga. Selain itu, ia kasih seragam dari panitia, koor dan sahabat-sahabat terdekatnya,”kata Aga sambil menopang dagu. Aku dan Aga langsung berkhayal apakah kami akan memiliki pohon uang yang bisa memberikan uang sebanyak itu.</p>
<p>“Itu duit semua tuh?”tanyaku bodoh.</p>
<p>”Bukan, daun! Ya iyalah Cil&#8230;masa sih bayar pengeluaran resepsi pakai daun nangka?! Kalau bisa sih, gue udah nikah dari kapan tahu, secara pohon nangka di kebun gue lagi rimbun-rimbunnya.”</p>
<p>“Mahal bener ya biaya pernikahan itu. Gilaa&#8230;.apa lagi kalo gue pake adat istiadat jawa yang ada siraman, widodareni, jualan cendol, puiiihhh&#8230;.gila mo kawin aja ribet bener,”ujarku sambil mengingat repotnya pernikahan sepupuku setahun lalu. Aga hanya terdiam. “Kalau gue menikah nanti, pokoknya gak ada tuh acara begituan apalagi resepsi. Pokoknya abis pemberkatan di gereja, ntar semua orang gue kasih nasi kotak aja, biar ngirit,” ujarku lagi.</p>
<p>‘Hahahahaha&#8230;&#8230;mana bisa begitu?! Nih gue kasih tahu, <em>even</em> cuma pemberkataan di gereja, elu tetep kudu musti mengeluarkan uang dan tetep bow! Jutaan,” jawab Aga sambil tetap cengengesan.</p>
<p>“Hah!?Buat apaan aja emangnya?,” “Oke, nih ntar kalau elo lagi bener-bener bengong di rumah, elo coba deh itung-itung kasar. Ini pengeluaran di gereja aja ya karena elu bilang  gak mau ada resepsi,” kata Aga sambil mengeluarkan kertas corat-coret. Aga kemudian memulai perinciannya.</p>
<p>“Mulai deh dari sewa gereja. Kalaupun gerejanya gratis, emang elo gak bayar listrik? Belum lagi kalo elo pilih gereja yang ber-AC, tambah mahal’kan?!”</p>
<p>“Oke, gereja, listrik dan soundsystem,” ujarku sambil menulis.</p>
<p>“Lanjut ya, emang elo gak kasih <em>fee</em> buat yang bersih-bersih gereja? Putra altar? Trus koornya bagaimana? Kalau elo gak mau ibu-ibu yang nyanyi, kan musti manggil<em> wedding singer choir</em> yang professional.</p>
<p>“Terus,tuh gereja memang gak dihias bunga?,”tanya Aga retoris. Aku kembali menulis, bunga, <em>fee</em> kebersihan, koster, putra altar, paduan suara.</p>
<p>“Pake koor lingkungan aja biar murah. Mereka kita kasih seragam aja sebagai tanda terima kasih,” aku memberi alternatif.</p>
<p>“Justru lebih mahal tau! Emang elo gak kasih duit buat jahitnya? Terus, tuh ibu-ibu dan bapak-bapak masa gak dikasih makan?,” tanya Aga lagi. Aku menambah lagi item konsumsi di daftarku.</p>
<p>“Jangan lupa tamu memang gak di kasih souvenir? Kan elo gak ada resepsi,” Aga menambahkan item baru di daftarku. “Tuh, cuma segini kok,” ujarku sambil memperkirakan biaya total kira-kira.</p>
<p>Aga merebut list-ku dan menambah beberapa item lagi. “Emang perlu apa lagi sih? Kan udah semua?”</p>
<p>“Nih ya, emang elu mo pake daster dan kunciran doang kalau mo <em>married</em>? Kebaya<em>, make up</em> belum elo masukin, belum lagi seragam buat dua keluarga, terus elo sama calon suami emang mau naek angkot ke gereja-nya? Pasti sewa mobillah, nah coba udah berapa pengeluarannya. Belum lagi dokumentasi, supir dan keamanan,dan&#8230;.” suara Aga seperti menggaung ditelingaku. Aku menambah semua item-item yang belum kumasukkan ke dalam daftar kasarku.Setelah kulihat, aku hanya menaikan alisku satu dan bersiul nyaring.</p>
<p>“Gilaaa, mahal ya bow! Gue gak pernah mikir sampai sedetail ini,” ujarku sambil garuk-garuk kepala. “Kalau begini repotnya, kayanya saudara kita yang muslim jauh lebih beruntungnya ya Ga. Cuma bayar mesjid, dan penghulu aja jadi deh suami istri,” celetukku. “Hehehe&#8230;iya yah.Hmm..mending elo ikutin jejaknya Anna Nicole Smith<a href="/ADMIN-STEFANIE/CREATIVITY/cerpen-01-290907.doc#_ftn1">[1]</a> tuh. Hihihi..elu cuma perlu bawa diri doang, trus tinggal nunggu warisan beres deh!,”balas Aga lebih asal. “Hahahahahahahahaha&#8230;..gilaaa!” aku menoyor kepala Aga pelan, tapi kemudian kami tertawa bersama. Pembicaraan kami tentang kawin, nikah, dan hal-hal seperti itu memang menjadi obrolan menarik yang tidak pernah selesai dibahas. Meski diskusi kami tidak pernah tuntas atau mendapatkan solusi, kami tidak peduli. Sebagai <em>fun fearless female</em> yang sudah memasuki umur seperempat abad, kami hanya menjalani apa yang hidup berikan pada kami sebaik-baiknya dan melakukan apa yang kami inginkan.Lainnya, terserah Anda!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_143" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 230px"><a href="http://singleout.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/200341320-001.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-143 " style="margin:10px;" title="bride" src="http://singleout.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/200341320-001.jpg?w=220&#038;h=300" alt="" width="220" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">source: gettyimages</p></div>
<p>“Hah?! Dijodohkan??”tanyaku dengan nada setengah oktaf lebih tinggi. Di era digital dan super <em>hitec</em> ini aku masih heran masih ada saja sistem Siti Nurbaya-Datuk Maringgih. Hebatnya, keduaorangtuaku’lah yang menganut sistem ‘Siti Nurbaya’ ini.</p>
<p>“Iya <em>nduk</em>..putranya Bu Sastro itu S2 lho dari ITB. Sudah bekerja dan bibit, bobot, bebetnya jelas,” jawab ibu dengan sedikit promosi. Aku hanya memutar bola mataku yang diartikan <em>I don’t care. </em></p>
<p>Sebenarnya mungkin dan sangat jauh di dalam benak orangtuaku, mereka bukan penganut sistem “Siti Nurbaya-Datuk Maringgih”. Ini semua berawal dari sebuah resepsi pernikahan anak salah satu teman dari ibuku. Ibuku perempuan yang cukup aktif baik di lingkungan masyarakat dan gereja. Karena itu ketika ia mendapat undangan, beliau sebisa mungkin mengajak anak-anaknya. Untuk masalah ini, kakakku entah kenapa selalu bisa menghilang. Alhasil, aku sebagai anak perempuan beliau satu-satunya, aku harus <em>kudu</em> musti wajib ikut.  Apa boleh buat. Lumayan’lah makan gratis, pikirku setelah menimbang-nimbang. Tapi sepertinya datang ke resepsi itu adalah keputusan yang aku sesali kemudian karena buntutnya adalah masalah-masalah dan masalah.</p>
<p>Awalnya biasa saja, kami datang, bertemu beberapa teman-teman CS-an ibuku, menyalami mempelai pengantin dan menikmati hidangan prasmanan yang telah tersedia. Aku berencana untuk menikmati menu-menu makanan yang ada dengan khusyuk namun harapanku meleset. Tiba-tiba saat sedang makan kambing guling, sebuah tepukan halus menepuk pundakku.</p>
<p>“Ya ampuuun! Ini Cecile putrinya ibu Sudiro ya? Sudah jadi perawan yaa…”ujar sebuah ibu dengan perawakan besar dengan kebaya lengkap dengan sanggulnya. Aku otomatis menyengir ramah dengan harapan semoga kambing guling di mulutku tidak berontak keluar jika aku tersenyum lebar. Ibuku yang sedang berdiri di sebelahku langsung berhaha-hihi sambil mengobrol dengan bahasa jawa yang aku kurang mengerti. Aku sejenak berpikir, kenapa sih orang-orang menyebut perempuan yang telah tumbuh besar dengan kata “perawan”? Memang sewaktu kami masih muda tidak perawan begitu? Kenapa juga tidak disebut, “Sudah besar atau sudah dewasa” atau apalah..<em>toh</em> masih banyak kata-kata lain yang bisa digunakan. Oke! Sampai dimana kita tadi?</p>
<p>Setelah mengobrol ngalur ngidul, tiba-tiba Ibu Bagio, <em>that’s her name by the way</em>, melontarkan sebuah pertanyaan sangat <em>cliché</em>.</p>
<p>“<em>Kowe</em> kapan nyusul <em>nduk</em>?” tanyanya dengan nada keibuan. Argghh…pertanyaan itu lagi-itu lagi. Terus terang aku mengeluh. Bukan karena tidak bisa menjawab, namun mengapa pertanyaan yang dilontarkan semua orang selalu sama: Kapan Kawin? <em>Well</em>, bagi mereka yang telah memilliki pasangan atau tunangan mungkin akan menjawab dengan enteng dan mudah. Masalahnya aku ini’kan single. Ehm, aku ralat, aku ini’kan <em>fun fearless single female</em>. Jadi pertanyaan mereka sangat menggelikan bagiku. Coba aku tanya, jika kalian tidak saling menahu tentang kabar masing-masing dan kemudian bertemu, apakah kalian langsung bertanya: Kapan punya anak?” tanpa tahu kalian ini sudah menikah atau belum. Nah, begitu juga dalam hal kasus ini. Mengapa pertanyaan “Kapan Kawin?” atau ‘Kapan menyusul?” itu selalu menjadi <em>most frequent question to ask</em>? Terlepas apakah kamu sedang berada di dalam situasi resepsi pernikahan atau tidak.Lagipula, apakah hidup harus melulu tentang menikah? Pasti masih banyak yang diinginkan orang selain menikah, misalnya: keliling dunia, <em>bungee jumping</em>, arung jeram, kursus merajut, ikut <em>Indonesian Idol</em> atau apa pun itu. Pastinya banyak yang ingin dilakukan dulu sebelum menikah. Benarkan?</p>
<p>Mengapa juga mereka tidak bertanya: “Kamu sudah bekerja belum?” atau “Kamu kemana saja tidak pernah kelihatan?” dan sederet pertanyaan yang bisa dilontarkan.</p>
<p>Menjawab pertanyaan Ibu Bagio, aku hanya menjawab pendek. Jawaban sama seperti orang-orang yang telah menanyakan pertanyaan itu lebih dulu.</p>
<p>“Secepatnya tante!Yang pasti Sabtu malam,” ujarku pendek. Ibu Bagio tentu saja langsung menyambut jawabanku itu dengan rasa ingin tahu yang tidak disembunyikan layaknya wartawan infotainment yang mendengar ada artis bercerai.</p>
<p>“Oh ya? Dapat orang mana Cil? Tanggal berapa? Tante diundang dong,” balasnya langsung merepet. Aku senyum-senyum sendiri saja. Jebakanku berhasil! Kataku dalam hati. Ibuku yang melihat ulahku hanya menggeleng-geleng.</p>
<p>“Cecile ini suka bercanda kok jeng! Dia masih lajang. Entahlah jeng,…rasanya Cecile <em>emoh karo cah lanang</em>. Aku mumet! <em>Nek karepku, gek ndang gek nimang cucu,wes</em>..” kata ibuku menimpali jawabanku. Aku melotot pada ibuku yang suka ceplas ceplos. Aduh, bagaimana sih ibu ini. Kok malah ada curhat colongan di sini. Alhasil aku hanya menyengir kering.</p>
<p>Namun, reaksi ibu Bagio yang dikenal cukup rumpi ini justru menunjukkan antusias. Terutama bagian saat ibu mengatakan aku masih lajang.</p>
<p>“Eh cil, kamu kenal Bagas gak?” tanyanya tiba-tiba. Aku menggeleng. Mana aku tahu. Aku saja baru mendengar namanya saat ini jawabku dalam hati.</p>
<p>“Si Bagas itu baru lulus S2 lho Cil di ITB. Masih lajang juga kaya kamu…” tuturnya menambahkan. Oke! Sepertinya aku tahu kemana arah pembicaraan ini. Dan aku mulai tidak menyukainya. Sebaliknya ibuku justru bersemangat. “Oh…si Bagas yang kuliah tehnik di ITB itu. Sudah rampung studinya toh?” tanya ibuku.</p>
<p>“Sudah! Sekarang sudah bekerja di sebuah perusahaan minyak. Apa yaa namanya…Itu lho perusahaan asing dari Inggris,”katanya sambil berusaha mengingat “Itu lho <em>nduk </em>yang kantornya di TB Simatupang” ujarnya menambahkan.</p>
<p>“Ee..<em>British Petroleum</em> maksudnya tante?” jawabku. “Nah, itu dia! Susah banget mo ngomong. Gini deh kalo lidah <em>wong ndeso</em>,” balasnya dengan sedikit rasa bangga yang ditunjukkan. Aku tersenyum saja. Sebaiknya diam saja deh daripada cari masalah pikirku.</p>
<p>“Iya Cil, Bagas itu kerjaannya cuma kantor-rumah-kantor-rumah saja..lama-lama bisa kuper dia. Kamu ajaklah dia kenalan sama temen-temen gereja. Ajak aktif di kegiatan gereja biar gak di rumah terus,”ujar Ibu Bagio. Hahaha…tawaku dalam hati. <em>Nice try</em> tante! Aku bisa melihat bahwa kedua ibu ini sedang berusaha menjodohkan Bagas dengan aku.</p>
<p>“Mungkin dia memang senang di rumah tante, toh sudah lama sekali meninggalkan rumah! Wajar dong tan kalo ingin di rumah saja,” balasku.</p>
<p>“Iya memang. Tapi kalo kelamaan ya gak bagus. Gak kenal gadis nanti. Apalagi yang seiman,” Ibu Bagio tetap berusaha. Aku hanya berO-ria. Ibuku yang dari tadi dia langsung mengambil celah itu.</p>
<p>“Kamu ajak dia ikut KKMK saja Cil.. supaya kenal banyak orang,” usul ibuku yang sudah bisa kuprediksi. “Oke deh. Nanti kalau ada aktivitas di gereja, saya ajak deh Bagas,” ujarku mengalah. Bendera putih harus dikibarkan sekarang. <em>Fun fearless female</em> meski <em>fearless</em> pun harus tahu saatnya mundur. 2 lawan 1 gak mungkin bisa menang.</p>
<p>&#8230;.. to be continue &#8230;..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I never want something like I want this.  Even though I already had this dream a long-long time ago, but I keep say it to myself…, it’s just imagination. It’s just a dream that should be only dream.  So, I start to forget my dream and come back to reality.</p>
<p>And then I live day by day, month by month, year by year … facing the reality life had take me.  Once in a while the dream came to me. Took me out from reality, and I was happy.  But it is never more than that.</p>
<p>When I lonely, feel stuck with my life, I open my Pandora box, and I dream that I live in my dream life. And that moment I feel light, happy, even just for a while.</p>
<p>Then, my friend suddenly flew away and reaching her dreams…, and I just amazed. How she dare to throw away everything she has achieved to pursue her dream. I know it didn’t easy, but somehow, she can manage to do that and survive.</p>
<p>And lately… open the Pandora box doesn’t satisfy me again. I am starting feel empty but at the same time I feel the urged to make it come true.</p>
<p>Finally I figured out that I must brave to make a decision. To make my dream just a dream or make it dream come true.  Yes! Finally I start to make steps I have reach to my dream come true.</p>
<p>Step by step…yes, it’s a long steps but I must keep trying, I just must make my dream come true or die trying.</p>
<p>You know what my dreams?</p>
<p>Maybe it looks don’t matter, but I always picture myself to sit at a bench or on the ground  and stare at this view.</p>
<p>Looking at those I will feel so much contentment in my soul. And I’ll be satisfied and that is when I can say ‘That moment is my now’.</p>

<p>I know it doesn&#8217;t easy. I have never had the easy way to get what i want, but it is my life, not others, and i must live with it. I just hope GOD give me a strong will to make it happen,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Membuka file lama di notebook ku dan menemukan beberapa tulisan &#8216;curhat&#8217; yang aku tulis saat patah hati. Entah kenapa ya, patah hati kok membuat gue sangat kreatif.</p>
<p>Ketika baca, reaksiku adalah..wooow&#8230;wooww&#8230; ternyata aku cukup pathetic saat sedang mellow. Paraah.. mengingat belakangan aku melihat temanku yang sedang mengalami keruwetan dalam asmara, aku bisa bilang aku juga paraah kl bicara lagi patah hati. hahaha.. thanks god, curhatan itu tidak ku kirimkan ke orangnya. Karena bisa-bisa dia GR bukan main.</p>
<p>Lucu banget sih kl dibaca yaa&#8230;soalnya aku melakukan semua yang aku nasehatkan kepada temenku yang tidak boleh dilakukaan. Pada intinya, sepertinya diriku saat itu bener2 buta sama cinta atau lust? atau hanya kesepian? hell..</p>
<p>Benar-benar geli sendiri.. tapi sekarang aku bisa menjawab dari segala curhatan pathetic aku itu.. yup! Aku ternyata kuat! Aku bisa kembali pulih, ceria dan bahkan sudah mengenyahkan dia selamanya dari hidupku. Lho..yup! karena orang itu pernah menghubungi aku lagi setelah berapa tahun itu menghilang. Tentu saja aku jawab seadanya dan aku kasih tekanan bahwa aku bukan cewek yang sama dan aku tidak akan mengulangi kesalahan yang sama 2 kali.</p>
<p>Dan, 3 kali telpon, 2 kali aku jawab, dia tidak pernah menghubungi aku lagi&#8230; well done! Biarkan laki-laki itu sadar bahwa aku bisa bangkit dari rasa sakit hati, dan aku sudah belajar dari kesalahan. Yup! He&#8217;s not worth it and i knew now, ill get a great man for my self, greater than him.</p>
<p>Ini jadi pembelajaran buat aku juga, bahwa apapun kekecewaan yang aku alami, ternyata aku bisa bangkit dan kembali ceria dan bahagia. Terima Kasih Tuhan!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pertama kali datang ke Wordcamp Indonesia yang udah 2 kalinya diadain. Kali ini di Gunadarma, Depok tanggal 30 Januari 2010.</p>
<p>Hmm&#8230; kesan pertama adalah kedinginan. Kesan kedua, merasa paling &#8216;hijau&#8217; tentang WP diantara para aktivis WP yang ngomongnya udah pake bahasa planet.Bener-bener newbie</p>
<p>Kesan ketiga, adalah gw seperti masuk kelas anak2 cerdas.. pada bawa laptop terus semuanya aktif bertwitteran. Thanks God, hape gue sudah mumpuni untuk melakukan twiiter dengan &#8216;nyangkut&#8217; ke wifi yang tersedia. Alhasil, gw pun bisa ikutan ngetwit.</p>
<p>Kesan keempat, gue bener2 gak ngerti sama materi yang dipresentasiin. Pake bahasa planet juga. Blank.. tapi untuknya si bule Beau Lebens ngomong bahasa inggris. Meski software translating otak gue belum canggih, tapi yah.. gue bisa nangkep deh dikit apa yang mo disampaikan si bule itu. Meski..so sorry nih ya Beau.. cara presentasinya agak membosankan dan tidak bersemangat. But.. yeah.. thanks for coming!</p>
<p>Kesan kelima, konsumsi yang enaaaakkkk&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;. dari snack yang nambah mulu. Sampe makan siang yang buffet (bukan nasi kotak seperti bayangan gue). Kalau gak bracket gue yang sedang bermasalah, gue pasti akan mengambil semua makanan disana. :p</p>
<p>Kesan keenam, too badd for me cant follow until the end. Darn! Pasti heboh.. ada foto2 dengan semua peserta. Apa boleh buat, orang sibuk! :p acara lain sudah menunggu kehadiran gue. Satu lagi yang sangat disayangkan, ga bisa ikut kompetisi buat speed writing contest dari ACER. Iseng-iseng berhadiah netbook.</p>
<p>Kesan ketujuh&#8230; setelah sekian lama gw tidak ke Depok, akhirnya ke Depok lagi. Dan&#8230; kembali inget bahwa jalanan Margonda maceeeeeeetttt gilaa kalo hari sabtu. Paraaahh&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://singleout.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/img_5035.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-125" title="Beau Lebens salah satu pembicara" src="http://singleout.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/img_5035.jpg?w=225&#038;h=300" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Bersama Beau Lebens dari AUTOMATTIC</p>

</div>
<div>
<div>After experienced many things, I dare to say that it is hard to survive in the world of women.</div>
</div>
<div>What are you saying? – Some of you must be wondered. But I have my own story.</div>
<div>As long I can remember, when I read girls magazine, or women magazine, all the articles always told the same old philosophies. Like “just be yourself” or “Inner beauty is the truth beauty”, or “confidence will make your way” and many others advice that now more like sound a cliché in my ears.</div>
<div>Nevertheless, still outer beauty or looks is the very first people will acknowledge who we are. Well, I can say that people with good looking face more likely to have a job that people who just average. Or, women that have good looking face also more likely have asked to their phone number than they who just average. Or women with appearance like white, long hair, tall and slimming body more likely caused adoring eyes from men.</div>
<div>Yes, no wonder women very concern about their looks. The public demand them to always look good. Just look at all the media from advertising, magazine, television or even the simple thing social media, people or in this case women always have the ‘urge’ to look good. Why? Well, I realized me and my friends never want to put our ugly picture as profile image. Am I right?</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Well, I believe beauty is in the eyes of beholder. Yes, that’s true. Beauty is very subjective yet ironically we can define what is ugly. Just like people humor about this “Cantik itu rata-rata tapi jelek itu mutlak”.  As for me, I do have feeling that I don’t want to be average woman especially don’t want to be called ugly.</div>
<div>So, I do whatever to look good. And yeah&#8230; I have dealing with the ‘looks’ problem since forever… *sigh* story of my life. And I have spent millions rupiah to have softer and healthy skin. I become the victim of advertising. Do this and that to fulfill the standard what is beautiful. No doubt to feel the pain to look more beautiful. Yep! Beauty is pain. Injection to stop the anti aging, peeling that burn your face, high killer heels to look more sexy or slimming, hair extension to have instant long hair, coloring hair. Or waxing to remove all unwanted hair. Pain yet we are want it.</div>
<div>It is really ‘To be or not to be’ as Shakespeare said in Hamlet. That’s all that matter. But it isn’t just to look beautiful in the public or opposite sex, but also want to be looks more beautiful in front of other women. *exhale* women are very competitive species. I become so aware of this because I am too  envy. She is sexier, she has bigger breasts, and many others that make me focus about outer look instead to what is in me.</div>
<div>I realize that and I try to eliminate that. But it is hard because we can’t just go to hell with appearance but how to make our self not to consume with outer beauty and start to explore the inner beauty.  Until now, I am still working to do that. And … yeah… tough competition and the fact that scale women than men is 4: 1, makes ‘this competition’ harder.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gw ga pernah tau kl hal yang simpel aja ada aturannya.</p>
<p>Malam ini gw diminta untuk mengeroki bapak yang lagi sakit masuk angin. Mengeroki dari kata dasar kerokan (gak tau apakah ini sudah masuk ke kamus besar bahasa Indonesia), adalah aktivitas dengan mengosok kulit yang sebelumnya diolesi oleh balsem dengan uang logam atau sesuatu yang berbentuk bundar dan dari logam. Nah, konon orang dulu percaya bahwa dengan kerokan akan membuang angin dalam tubuh dengan tanda &#8216;merah&#8217; di kulit dari hasil kerokan itu.</p>
<p>Nah, gw sih gak gitu percaya ya.. menurut gw, dimana-mana, kl mengerok kulit sama benda logam, atau benda apapun pasti hasilnya merah. Kulit manusia kan ga setebel kulit badak. Jadi bukan berarti itu &#8216;angin&#8217; keluar. Well.. aniwei, bapak dan ibu sayangnya termasuk orang &#8216;dulu&#8217; itu.</p>
<p>Back ke kerokan, jadi malam ini gw diminta untuk kerokin bapak. Ya sudah, setelah membersihkan diri sehabis pulang kerja, gw pun melaksanakan permintaan si empunya rumah. Secara dulu gw dulu pernah dikerokin &#8211; sebelum menyadari minum obat lebih tidak sakit dibanding kerokan &#8211; gw tentu tau dong caranya kerokan.</p>
<p>Kita tinggal membutuhkan balsem, uang logam dan kulit hehe.. ini maksudnya orang yang mo dikerokin. So, how difficult is that. But i guessed i was wrong&#8230;</p>
<p>So, bapak merequest dikerokin dari leher sampai pinggang. *sigh.. long way to go*. Dengan pede, gw pun memulai. Oles, oles balsam, lalu kerok dibagian yang ada balsamnya.. terus kerok sampai keluar garis merah. Pokoknya githu..</p>
<p>Eh, belum apa-apa, bapak komentar, &#8220;Kalo dileher, jangan melebar, memanjang ngikutin dong..&#8221; &#8211; gw he-eh aja. Lalu lanjut lagi dengan oles, kerok-kerok sampai merah. Dikit dikit bapak nengok ke belakang mencoba melihat hasil kerokan gw. Apa sih, kaya perlu dinilai segala.  Lanjut ke punggung.. lagi-lagi bapak komentar &#8220;Jangan jarang-jarang&#8230;yang rapet&#8221; &#8211; lagi-lagi gw he-eh aja. Kembali gw meneruskan kegiatan oles dan kerok ini.</p>
<p>Setelah sampai setengah punggung, bapak melihat ke cermin yang ada di kamar. Yup! Benar sekali saudara-saudara, dia komentar lagi &#8220;Kalo ngerok itu searah sama tulang rusuk,..&#8221; &#8211; lha itu bukannya udah ya? gw melihat hasil kerokan gw. Ga ada yang salah kok.. emang sih agak berantakan, tp kan tadi beliau yang minta rapet rapet antara garis merah ke garis berikutnya.</p>
<p>Setelah kerokan sampai pinggang, selesai lah sudah. Dan seperti orang yang habis di tato, bapak bercermin untuk melihat hasil kerokan gw. &#8220;Ih.. kamu kerokinnya ga sampai ujung &#8221; Arrghhh&#8230;cape dehh. Emang harus rapih sempurna yah? kaya mo dipamerin a la tato aja. Pusing deh&#8230;Baru kali ini kerokan ada rules and regulationnya. (taelaahh..)</p>
<p>Pas ibu pulang dari latihan koor, ibu melihat hasil kerokan di punggung bapak. Senyum terkulum tercetak di bibirnya. Huh..kayanya sih senyum mencela seperti &#8220;Ini anak ngerokin apa ngerokin sih?&#8221; Agak sebel tp jadi lucu juga kl diinget. Betapa hal yang sederhana pun butuh aturan , dan nilai estetis. Katanya sih maksudnya ngikutin jalur tulang rusuk biar kelihatan rapih. Kaya bakal mo topless aja kemana-mana. Ga akan ada yang ngelliat juga.</p>
<p>But, that&#8217;s the Art of &#8216;Kerokan&#8217;. Ada yang mo dikerokin?</p>

<p>You know… I guess they are right. When a child reached the age 18, they should go out from the house and live independently. But, that is only happened in western.  Here, where I come along, we moved out when we are married.</p>
<p>But… I completely agree with western point of view. Beside to learn live independent, there will be no arguing and embarrassing moments like me and my parents especially my mom.</p>
<p>We often argue about how my mom often and always still treated me like I am underage. And that’s annoys me.</p>
<p>Just like when we are in family room and watched a movie, western movie, there is a romance scene, where the actress and actor was kissing, and you know what, my mom told me to close my eyes. Geeezzz….</p>
<p>Another example, like when I watch the DVD in my room with my door closed, suddenly, my mom barked in and entered to my room in the middle love scene in the movie. And she asked whether I watched porn movie. C’mon…  It just a make out scene. On second thought, what I watched is not her business. I completely have no privacy in my own room.  I don’t mind if she wants to see me, but please, knock first, show some respect to my own privacy.</p>
<p>It is very hard to give a logical explanation to my parents that very conservative. Arrgghh… really really put me on nerve.</p>
<p>That’s not the only thing, once, when I went to supermarket with her, I buy a beer, just a bottle, I mean a treat for myself, and she said I am an alcoholic like every day I buy 10 bottles a day. FML.</p>
<p>I don’t know how to make them understand.  Does she know that now already year 2010 and I completely a grown up, mature and able to take a risk my own choice.</p>
<p>Does she know about human rights or freedom to make a choice? Gosh…   I wish my mom can be an open minded person, and be flexible.  I’ll know, she would answer like this   every time I spoke about my mind. “As long you live in my house, you follow my rules”. That’s her. My dad doesn’t help much. My mom is the boss.</p>
<p>You know, the argument come to a result, this year must be the last year I am in the house. Next year I am planning to find my own flat or rented room.</p>
