Fire in the Building

Who would have thought that I  experienced fire in the building.  This is my first time living in an appartement. Of course I never chose appartement when living in Indonesia because it’s a real high risk when the earthquake happen. But here we are placed in an appartement. What got me relieved the first time that we are in the lowest floor so if something happen we will be quickly evacuated.  That’s what I thought.  Until it really happened.  We slept around midnight and abruptly woken up by the noise outside. I thought it was the drunk people just got back from night club or the restaurant next door was doing some deep cleaning. So loud that I had to wake up. My husband peeked outside and immediately said “fire brigade outside, you wait here!” I was just “am I dreaming or what?” I put on clothes, checked outside and saw a few of fire trucks. I checked the other side of the appartement and saw a few of police cars and ambulances.  “Oh no, something serious...

Recehan

Seinget saya sih udah pernah nulis soal ini


Seperti biasa, recehan bukan menjadi pilihan setiap orang karena udah pasti berat kalo banyak, keliatan kurang kece yang cenderung berujung pada pertanyaan :

abis ngamen dimana?
Hyaaaa.... selalu gitu deh. Tapi saya yang terinspirasi dari film Journey to the center of the earth gegara mereka bisa nuker uang recehan lima toplesnya dengan tiket perjalanan ke Reykjavik dari hmmm dari mana ya itu?? Amerika?? kayaknya sih Amerika, itu inspiring banget dehh buat saya. Sejak saat itu mendedikasikan diri untuk menabung recehan. Biarpun nggak nabung, tapi disimpen gitu, siapa tau bisa kelliling Eropa gara-gara recehan hohoho

 bayangin aja kalo itu receh lima ratus apa seribuan gitu, ada lima toples gede krupuk gitu, kayaknya bisa buat keliling Eropa. btw ini lho recehan yang ada di film Journey to the center of the earth.

Saya sudah lama suka nyimpen recehan. Sampai teman-teman yang tau kebiasaan saya, suka 'buang' recehan mereka ke saya. Dikira duit receh mah nggak berharga ya. Padahal seperti kata pepatah, 'sedikit demi sedikit lama-lama menjadi bukit'. Saya punya receh 100, 200, 500, dan 1000. Kalau yang 500 sama 1000 sih bisa keliatan agak gede jumlahnya. Nah kalau yang 200an ini. Biasanya dibawa mama ke pasar sih buat ditukerin karena yang namanya duit di pasar itu pastiii laku berapapun nominalnya. Duit 200 receh bisa buat jatah pengamen di pasar. kata mamak begitu

udah waktunya setor yang 200an ke mama hahah

Dulu sebelum pindah ke Surabaya, ada beberapa toples uang receh. Kebetulan yang satu toples saya tinggal dirumah dengan harapan nanti saya bakal bawa ke Surabaya. Tapi karena berat, yawes tinggal aja wes. Nah saya liat tiap kali saya pulang kerumah, ini toples kok makin abis ya duitnya ya. Eh ternyata mama bikin pengakuan, "iya, diambil papa buat taro mobil. buat orang-orang ngamen, kalo nggak gitu ya buat ke toilet". Alamakkkk.. yawes gapapa wes yang penting manfaat deh ya.

Karena kebiasaan saya itu, sampai akhirnya saya punya klien lho. Klien yang nuker duit receh. Tiap bulan ato paling nggak 2 bulan, recehan di toples mini saya penuh dan itu sekitar 150ribu. Karena mengumpulkan receh bisa menjadi dana darurat, yang maksudnya bener-bener dana yang daruratttt banget tiap akhir bulan, lumayan kan bisa nambah duit jajan sampai 150ribu begitu. Keliatannya sih sepele, tapi ya lama-lama jadi banyak tho. Klien saya itu tak lain dan tak bukan adalah bapak nasi goreng depan kos. You are my savior pakkk

 

gegara beli sesuatu dapet botol unyu begini, sayang kalau nggak dimanfaatin. Akhirnya jadilah dia botol penyimpanan duit kertas. segala bentuk hal yang bisa bikin semangat dalam menabung itu perlu digalakkan kok :)



sedang menanti jatah menukar recehan ke bapak depan kos

Jumat ceria

Hari ini memang bukan hari jumat, tapi cuman mau bilang aja sih kalo hari yang paling aku tunggu-tunggu itu hari jumat. Why?   Karena jumat itu selalu ceria, kalopun ada meeting besar pasti di hari jumat dan banyak cemilan, orang-orang pada berangkat sholat jumat, yang nasrani juga mengikuti misa di kantor, bisa pake baju bebas dan bebas berekspresi sepuas-puasnya, dan..... bisa video call sepuasnyaaaaaa kapanpun karena dia libur kerja 😍😍 gambarnya lucu 😁  taken from internet

Write Down Your Dreams, They Said.

Moscow Yes, all things I have and I do right now is all the things that I have written down on papers, during my sleeps, in my consciousness, in my visions. So let's do that again here.  I have another dream that I really think of. It's the thing I want to do when I have so much money, or enough money, or when money doesn't matter anymore, or who knows!  I wanna build a school for kids who can't afford to go to school. I want them to pay nothing, and I want them to learn the basic things like how to respect others, how to tell people their ideas/opinions, familiarize them with being kind, how to think logically, how to solve problems, etc. All the basic survival things in life.  I think my passion is always in education, but I don't always like to follow the old-school rules. There are so many important things we don't learn at school that I think should be taught there. Once we graduate from school, we usually don't know how to navigate life. Who taught you...
