Hehehehehe….. lanjut!...setelah si tahu udah dicampur rata dengan kocokan telor, tahu siap jadi perkedel. Ambil kira-kira satu sendok makan gede adonan tahu, cemplungin ke minyak goreng yang rada panas (jangan terlalu panas ya ntar gosong and tengahnya tetap mentah)….. biarkan si calon perkedel berenang-renang di minyak panas…. Kalo udah mateng… angkat… jadi dech perkedel….

Kata papanya tante ellie nich.. kalo tante ellie bikin perkedel tahu, asin banget…….!!!!! Ini sih triknya tante ellie so si perkedel tahu makannya ma nasi… g jadi cemilan… coz… kalo jadi cemilan… apalagi papanya tante ellie suka nyolong makanan sebelum waktunya makan…..ntar…perkedelnya dah abis duluan sebelum sempat disantap pake nasi…

KEEP BELIEVING IN YOURSELF AND YOUR SPECIAL DREAMS

There may be days

when you get up in the morning

and things aren’t the way

you had hoped they would be.

That’s when you have to

tell yourself that things will get better.

There are times when people

disappoint you and let you down,

but those are the times

when you must remind yourself

to trust your own judgments

and opinions,

to keep your life focused on

believing in yourself

and all that you are capable of…

There will be challenges to face

and changes to make in you life,

and it is up to you to accept them.

Constantly keep yourself headed

in the right direction for you.

It may not be easy at times,

but in those times of struggle

you will find a stronger sense

of who you are,

and you will also see yourself

developing into the person

you have always wanted to be.

Life is a journey through time,

filled with many choices;

each of us will experience life

in our own special way.

So when the days come

that are filled with frustration

and unexpected responsibilities,

remember to believe in yourself

and all you want your life to be,

because the challenges and changes

will only help you to find

the dreams that you know

are meant to come true for you.

This is taken from a card given by Gabriel at the Logan Airport for me, just before I left Boston, a decade ago.

Wednesday, November 28, 2007

I’ve just came back from taking a morning walk.

The idea was spontaneous, it was the first thing came to my mind after I took some long and deep breaths of fresh morning air when the stars were still shining on the light blue orange sunrise sky.

So I went out for walking. I set up a destination – Bubur Ayam Ludira. It is just a destination, a desired destination, so that I would know where to go of this journey of walking, and what I get when I arrived would be the gift. This time I realize that it is not the destination that I need most, but the walking.

It was 5.30 when I went out of the front door. The weather was so nice. Blue sky, fresh air, sunrise, birds singing. I just walked in my normal speed, which means for me not too slow not too fast. But I guess for other girls, it is very fast.

I met some people along the way, mostly the elder people who also took a walk, jogging, or riding bicycle. We shared smile. That was really nice for me. That’s the good thing living in Jogja, because when you smile, people smile back at you. If you give a smile to a Javanese, he gives you a smile and a nod of respect. You get double.

I met someone jogging; the nice thing is that he did not need any attire for jogging; no running shoes just old sleepers, no running pants just short normal pants, and shirt. That’s all.

When I was on the way to my desired destination, I passed by Good Net. I stopped for a while because there was a voice in my head saying: “hey, what about you stop for a while there and log on to Yahoo mail, and say hi to eddy”. That was a good idea I thought. But this time, spontaneousness was not needed. I remember Gabriel said: “stop for a while, and feel if this is what you really want”. So I stopped, took a breath, and feel if this was really what I wanted. No, it was not what I wanted, and my mind figured out the reasons.

Yes, it is like that. You feel if you want something, feel if it is really what your soul wants, and your mind figure out the reasons and planning the ways.

I thought it would be a good choice of destination for next time walking.

So I continued walking.

I looked far to see if my destination was still far. I knew where Ludira was, but I actually did not know where the Bubur Ayam exactly was. But when I looked far to check where Ludira was, I was not sure. I could not see exactly. I saw a traffic light and I thought it was probably there around the traffic lights, I was not sure. But the traffic light was still far far away. “Never mind”, I thought, “never mind if I have to walk that far”.

But suddenly I saw the Bubur Ayam, and I knew that it was the Bubur Ayam my destination, and that was Ludira. It was just few steps from the spot I thought my destination was still further away.

The feeling was very nice; it was a surprise, a relief, and it was light; light in my body, light in my head, light in my heart, and the world was light. It was only one look and I saw my destination. I arrived at my destination.

The way back home was also nice. It felt faster than when I went to my destination. The view was different for I saw the two mountains. The sun was shinning brighter and there were more people on the street.

I did enjoy walking home with Bubur Ayam with me. I have reached my destination and I have my gift. It was warm, I felt warm and alive.

MAY YOU HAVE

Enough happiness to keep you sweet,

Enough trials to keep you strong,

Enough sorrow to keep you human,

Enough hope to keep you happy,

Enough failure to keep you humble,

Enough success to keep you eager,

Enough friends to keep giving you comfort,

Enough wealth to meet your needs,

Enough enthusiasm to look forward,

Enough faith to banish depression,

Enough determination to make each day better than yesterday.

REFLECTION ON TRESPASSING....

A Reflection sometime in April 2008

Last night I went to the airport. I got off the bus at the shelter which was at the parking area. It was located a bit isolated. I thought there was perhaps a way which linked the shelter to the Departing/Arrival area. I asked the guy in charge at the shelter if there was any. He said “oh yes, just go this way, it is under that mast!” I saw to where he pointed with his finger. It was a bit dark behind cars. But I thought maybe the way was built through a garden or something because I saw some trees.

So I followed his instruction. I went to the mast he pointed which was behind cars. In fact, what I found was not an “official” way. I imagined the way was especially constructed to link the places. It was not like my imagination. It was in fact a “way” for people to trespass the train rail in order to get to the airport.

I certainly stopped my steps. In front of me there was iron fence, low enough for people to walk over it, but the initial purpose is certainly to prevent people to walk over it. Across the rail, I saw another fence, higher, but there was a space open. It looked like people opened it on purpose for trespassing.

It was between confusion and hesitation. I was confused how come this way was chosen to be the way for people to get to the airport from the shelter as the guy suggested. I hesitated to take this way as this was certainly not the “proper” way.

I tried to walk over the fence, though. It was tempting me somehow, and there was a voice telling “this maybe an opportunity”. But my heart stopped me. And with my confidence, I turned around and take the “proper” way. I thought it would be so silly for me to trespass. I walked the longer way. While I was walking I was thinking and feeling what I was doing. There was a moment when I thought “if this was day, perhaps I would have chosen to do so, since the way was not dark so I would have been able to measure whether it’s dangerous or not”. The rest of the moment, I felt whatever it is day or night, my heart feels that trespassing is not going to be my choice. It is a bit immoral. It is not the right thing for me. I also thought so much about people who trespass, trespassing anything. Perhaps people can get what they want in a shortest path, maybe how lucky it is. But I feel, even though we can get what we want fast, we indeed are in the low point. I don’t want to feel being at the low point and be so small and ugly for the things which I can do in the right way.

When I walked across the rail on the normal way, I thought how I have been a ‘good girl’. I felt alone and a bit blue somehow. But it was not a regret. There are people in the world do trespassing and be happy about it because they get what they want faster. Though I am maybe alone, and it takes me longer time to get what I want, but I believe on my own judgment. The desired thing and the way to pursue it do matter to me. The desired thing deserves the best way.

I hang it on my closet’s door that I could see it everyday. When it was time for me to go back home I gave it to my sister, I wrote all the words in my diary and brought them home. I think it’s just nice if I can share this to ones I know, and you are one of them. Hope it will help you as it helps me.

THE NAP TAKER

No―I did not take a nap―

The nap―took―me

Off the bed and out the window

Far beyond the sea,

To a land where sleepy heads

Read only comic books

And lock their naps in iron safes

So that they can’t get took.

And soon as I came to that land,

I also came to grief.

The people pointed at me, shouting,

“Where’s the nap, you thief?”

They took me to the courthouse.

The judge put on his cap.

He said, “My child, you are on trial

For taking someone’s nap.

“Yes, all you selfish children,

You think just of yourselves

And don’t care if the nap you take

Belongs to someone else.

It happens that the nap you took

Without a thought or care

Belongs to Bonnie Bowlingbrook,

Who’s sittin’ cryin’ there.

“She hasn’t slept in quite some time―

Just see her eyelids flap.

She’s tired and drowsy―cranky too,

‘Cause guess who took her nap?”

The jury cried, “You’re guilty, yes,

You’re guilty as can be,

But just return the nap you took

And we might set you free.”

“I did not take that nap,” I cried,

“I give my solemn vow,

And if I took it by mistake

I do not have it now,”

“Oh fiddle-fudge,” cried out the judge,

“Your record looks quite sour.

Last night I see you stole a kiss,

Last week you took a shower,

“You beat your eggs, you’ve whipped your cream,

At work you punched the clock,

You’ve even killed an hour or two,

We’ve heard you darn your socks,

We know you shot a basketball,

You’ve stolen second base,

And we can see you’re guilty

From the sleep that’s on your face.

“Go lie down on your blanket now

And cry your guilty tears.

I sentence you to one long nap

For ninety million years.

And when other children see

This nap that never ends,

No child will ever dare to take

Somebody’s nap again.”
