Reunian

Jangan pernah ngajakin anak untuk reuini bareng temen-temen masa muda.
Apalagi reunian ama temen-temen yang tingkat kewarasannya bisa berkurang jauh ketika berkumpul dengan sesamanya.

Ketika aturan ini di langgaar...
A ke B ”Lo kok belon kawin juga si say...jadi istri kedua gw mau? Dari pada keburu manapouse”
Anak ”Bun, manapouse itu apa?”
Bunda..mikir bentar, soale gw selalu ngejelasin sesuatu dengan ’jujur’
C dengan sok tau langsung nyamber “Itu kaya makanan yang dah expired…gk enak di makan lagi”
Dengan polosnya ”Beracun ya om..masa tante beracun sih”

Atau waktu...
Gw gk nyangka ya si E bisa jadi CEO..padahal dulu kalo matematika kabur terus bareng kita ya Ta!
Anak ”Bunda emang dulu sering kabur ya?”

Sebelon ada yang nyamber ngejawab..mending anak-anak lo di jauhkan dari acara-acara reunian begini.

Winners take all

Barack Obama made history, he was elected as first black president and the 44th president of the United States.

For the first time he won over Hillary, I keept track on him. I listened to his concession speech. Sometimes his decision made a little ‘wow’ inside me.
Although some of them absolutely not my preference, for sure.

He made me wondering when he choose Joe Biden for his running mate while Hillary already said she will stood beside him.
Quick count..if he chooses her, he definitely will get her voters too, right? But Joe Biden..?

I searched Joe Biden over the internet and surprised about who is he. Senator Joseph R Biden Jr. has broad knowledge, his committee chairmanship and his longtime membership in the most exclusive debating club in the nation..He what Obama needs to complete him!
Not to mention he just at age 29 while first elected to the US Senate from Delaware. He has experienced personal tragedy (I cried while red his story) and a near-fatal illness. But he has faith in God. These tragedies made him stronger, and became a better man. That’s what I red.

And when the time comes..
Obama win!
I (again) hear his detail winning speech, but what turns me to chill is what Jhon McCain said while giving concessions speech to supporters in Phoenix.
He is the man!
He opened his speech by saying “My friends, we have come to the end of a long journey”
He congratulate Obama by saying “Senator Obama has achieved a great thing for himself and for his country. I applaud him for it and offer in my sincere sympathy that his beloved grandmother did not live to see this day”
For his supporter, he said “It’s natural tonight to feel some disappointment, but tomorrow we must move beyond it and work together to get our country moving again. And thought we fell short, the failure is mine, not yours”

What a man!
His gratitude, his quality is what my nation need!

Winners take all.
And Mr. McCain willing to give what ever it takes to the winner! No hurt feeling (at least in front of his supporters), no tricky speech, a gentleman aura.

You all show me the truly meaning of WIN and LOOSE.

Seribu Candi..gak dink..Seribu Kotak Kue

Ini satu lagi cerita kluarga gw as a team. Critanya ada acara penerangan pajak untuk wajib pajak se Batam. Gw sih gk ngerti isinya apa, cuman denger dari panitia..yang diundang perusahaan seBatam gitu. Berhubung ini acaranya pemerintahan, dana yang tersedia terbatas banget..termasuk buwat konsumsi.

Thanks to my dearest friend Indra yang sounding gw ke panitia. Dulu gw pernah nyiapain snack untuk acaranya Indra bareng Safir Senduk (spell?)..en salah satu peserta nya ( yg jadi panitia di acara pajak skarang ini) suka ma kue gw…seneng nya.

Selalu ada tantangan di setiap kesempatan..
Tantangan pertama...order dateng hari Sabtu tanggal 8 November untuk hari Rabu tanggal 12 November..mepet bangeeet.
Minta kue 4 jenis dalam 1 kotak..jenis nya Risol, Lemper, Cake potong dan Pukis...dan minta seribu kotak..OMG.
Berhubung acaranya pagi banget..si kotak2 ini dah nangkring di lokasi acara sekitar jam 8 pagi..

Puter otak..

Gw gk bisa cuti mendadak gini..
Tempat acara ma rumah cuman sepenanak nasi, artinya bolak-balik saat delivery no problem..
Jenis kue-kuenya dah familiar...
Bikin list temen, kenalan, sodara yang bisa di mintain bantuan...
Dana minim..tapi masih bisa, walau keuntungan tipis..tp ini peluang..buwat ngenalin Loyang (merek dagang gw).

Persiapan
Bagusnya..bikin kue itu bisa di cicil.
Contoh risoles..kulitnya bisa di bikin dari hari senen pagi, senen siang bikin isinya..langsung di isi, panir, masukin frezer.
Cake potong di bikin senen sore, di cicil aja..bungkus rapat plastik,masukin kulkas, ntar bisa di panggang lagi sebentar kalo perlu.
Isi lemper dan lemper nya bisa di bikin malam sebelum hari H
Kotak kue yang segunung itu mulai di lipat dan di bentuk sejak hari Senen..tx to my dear boys yang banyak banget bantuin ngelipat kotak..muach muach..
Bagusnya lagi..gw punya temen baek yang bisa di mintain tolong bantuin bikin kuwe..

Hari Selasa sore tenaga bantuan berdatangan..

Hasilnya sampe jam 12 lebih kita nyiapin semua...
Mulai lagi hari Rabu pagi-pagi sebelon jam 4...
Jam 5 teng mulai packing...
Jam 7 pagi mulai pengiriman batch pertama…
Jam 8 teng pengiriman batch terakhir…

Gw masuk kantor jam 9

Semua orang Happy

Makasih banget buwat Kokoh di Yestumi..yang bersedia nungguin gw pulang kantor buwat ngambil pesanan bahan..padahal tokonya dah tutup.
Makasih buwat Helni..what am I without you..
Buwat kluarga gw..we are a great team, always.
Adek bayi kecil yang gk pernah rewel…
Huaha..kok kaya penerimaan oscar yaaaa…

Intinya sih..
Jangan nolak order karena hal-hal gk jelas..tabahkan hatimu....huahahahaha…
Dibalik kesulitan pasti ada kemudahan daaan..kesulitan berikutnya...daaann kemudahan yg lebih berikutnya..huehehe

Susu

Anak-anak gw nih emang beda banget deh.
Gilang mesti gw stop minum susunya..sementara Boogie mesti gw suruh-rayu-paksa cuman buwat ngabisin segelas susu.
Si mas tuh bisa ngehabisin susu 1 liter langsung dari kotak nya hanya dalam sekali minum.
Setelah itu kekenyangan dan gk mau makan.

Dialog ’minum susu’ ini hampir setiap hari terjadi di rumah gw.
Mulai dari pagi..gw mesti ngingetin Gilang untuk hanya minum 1 gelas susu, dan merayu-maksa-memelas ke Boogie untuk ngebisin susunya.
Gw mesti jg mratiin kalo susu Boogie gk di minum Gilang dan sarapan Gilang gk di abisin adeknya.

Sore gw mesti nelpon ke rumah, skali lagi ngingetin hal yang sama

Malem, gw biasanya udah terlalu cape..

Dialog terakhir ma Boogie tadi pagi
’Dek, minum susu ya. Kalsium nya banyak tuh. Klo gk minum susu ntar bantet lho’
’Bunda, ati-ati kalo ngomong..ucapan orang tua itu doa’
’O..kalo gitu plis minum susu ya dek’
’Makasih bun, adek udah bikin teh..sayang nih segelas kalo gak di minum’
’Bunda aja deh yang minum teh nya..’
’Kalo bunda mau teh bikin sendiri donk bun’
Cape deh...
