Living With Inne

Satu pagi saat antri menuju Pasmod terjadilah percakapan seperti ini.. awalnya karena sedang monolog kira -kira mau bikin apa untuk sarapan yang sekarang jumlah orangnya lebih banyaaaak.. Alhamdullilah. "Ih aku gak mau deh beli-beli lagi makanan kaya nasi tim gitu.. Ya ampun harganya mahal bangeet." Hahaha.. Iya beneran banget saya masih gagal move on dari kehidupan di Semarang yang everything you can afford happily. Satu porsi nasi tim itu harganya hampir dua kali lipat harga Nasi Ayam yang enak. Nasi ayam itu adalah hidangan yang terdiri nasi liwet (hmm enak), lalu diberi suwiran daging ayam, telur pindang, tahu dan sayur labu siam berbumbu kuning sejenis lodeh. Dihidangkannya dipincuk yang beralaskan daun pisang.. Sedangkan nasi tim itu adalah hidangan nasi yang ditim dalam mangkuk sebesaran kobokan cuci tangan (gak lucu banget padanannya ya.. masa kobokan cuci tangan.. Tapi iya kaan.. cetakan nasi tim itu memang seperti kobokan cuci tangan.. Maap yaaa.. :P)  pake dagi

Rasanya kemarin itu seperti mimpi I started earlier in the morning to catch 5K running event..  The first running event for me.. And I did it..  :) Without too much effort.. and it was fun.. Came back home and getting ready for the moving transporter to pick up our things.  Having lunch at our fav tea house and sitting at the same place as we used to since the first time we came there. Then heading home by car with a night stay in Pekalongan. Saat makan malam di Pekalongan, I said to my husband... Rasanya aneh ya.. Kita itu gak bakalan balik lagi lho ke jalan Kedungmundu.. Ke Jalan Sambiroto.. Kita ini mau pindah lho..  Then suddenly I feel so silent inside...  Tetapi Allah itu maha membolak balikan hati.. Looking to my son I see he became brave enough to face changes.. Stuborn has gone and he looks more calm to let go all of his excitements .. (new excitements are more to come..) And I am more ready for that.. Regards from Pekalongan. Btw.. Love the hotel I sta

“To burn with desire and keep quiet about it is the greatest punishment we can bring on ourselves.”  ―  Federico García Lorca ,  Blood Wedding and Yerma This city is just another best thing ever happened in my life. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to explore, to taste and to meet people along the way.. to visit places nearby.. to see cultures and heritages.. If one day you will need a tour guide.. just keep in your mind that I am good enough to be the one. And I don't say good bye to Mugas and Lawang Sewu. Those places are too good to be true.. “If music be the food of love, play on, Give me excess of it; that surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die.”  ―  William Shakespeare ,  Twelfth Night #masihdisemarang 1/14/2017  4.55 am

Have you ever put one person in life as your top priority?  As the one above everything else that matters in the world? The one where all your feelings go to.. The one who is able to slow your pace.. the one who can make you  so still inside.. Yes, I have. He is my Phrayata.. For whom I'd bleed my self dry. Sorry for being rude.. We will work through it once again.. and we love you whole heartedly and will never let you walk alone. Love you more than everything that matters in the world. Ibu. #masihdisemarang 1/13/2017

Sepertinya ini pindahan saya yang memerlukan effort more than those I have done previously deh. Biarlah saya menuliskannya ya.. Supaya kelak I can look back to my parenting journey about raising my kids and everything that follow when it comes to moving away from one city to the others.. I am sure many people have dealt with these experiences  too.. When it comes to moving away.. the first priority when you still have kids at school is of course their school.  Things will be less complicated when moving is done at  the beginning of school terms. When it happens at the middle of terms then somebody will prefer to stay.. which is not in the optional at all. Then as a mother, I am the captain in charge of dealing with the situation like this. Things will not  always come easy when it comes to moving away from something you are already adjusted to. First. there will be rejection and denial.. and when finally its done it will always start with uneasiness, a common feeling as the sequ

Here I go again.. Just like the quotes say.. “Settling into a new country is like getting used to a new pair of shoes.  At first they pinch a little, but you like the way they look, so you carry on.  The longer you have them, the more comfortable they become. Until one day without realizing it you reach a glorious plateau. Wearing those shoes is like wearing no shoes at all. The more scuffed they get, the more you love them and the more you can't imagine life without them.”  ―  Tahir Shah ,  In Arabian Nights: A Caravan of Moroccan Dreams Yes.. we are moving.. Just like so many times before. You have gone through it and now you will do another one. What is life without changing anyway..  You just need to hang on there..  And you'll see life is getting more beautiful each day..  #letsgotosleep #hopetommorowyouwillhavemorecouragetogothrough #akurapopo #goinghome #homesweethome #willmissthememorybehind Masih di Semarang 1/8/2017
