Christmas 2020

Never would I ever thought that getting through Christmas would be this difficult. 

Too much social things happening, and I beat myself up for turning every-single-one of it down. Di kantor udah dikenal as a wuss when it comes to any social gathering (yes, as much as I love my Team... 2,5 taon gw kerja bareng mereka, I never once showed up to any of the gathering - which is like once a fortnight!). 

They never stop inviting me, which is a good thing? But it gets harder and harder finding an excuse. It’s especially hard during this period. They’re inviting me to their home, so our families can meet.

And those friends like Fee yg nyuruhin dateng buat natalan. And them Indonesians yg ngadain BBQ.

Andi and Onya went to the BBQ and gw dirumah dong. Trust me, I tried. Bukannya bedegong ga nyoba... it’s just ngebayangin beheha behehe tanpa juntrungan... ah. Seems so kosong. So shallow. Too much deh buat gw. The aftermath is not worth it for my mental being.

This world is really not build for introverts. With all the mental shits going on, it just makes thing a lot harder. 

I just wish I don’t have to feel guilty for not going. For just staying home during this period. For me to just.... be. 

Kayanya makin tua makin yakin I’m in the spectrum. Kemaren wkt di Auckland stress banget liat so many people, so many cars, even the slightest sound irked me. 

Only a handful of people know who I really am, how bad my introversion is, or what I’m going through these last couple of years. I guess I’m fucking good when it comes to put on a mask.

Tadi bel rumah bunyi. Know what I did?? Instead of opening the door like a normal human, I literally got down on my knees and hands, and crawled to the side of my island table so kalo yg ngebel ngintip ke rumah, dia ga bisa liat gue! 

SEGITUNYEE I avoid people loh! Iye, SEGITUNYE!! I’m so broken.

I can’t wait to move into our new home yg kita sengaja design biar org ga bisa ngintip ke dalem sama sekali.

Ah... this year’s Christmas is so stressful deehhhhhhhh. I’d rather be on the road travelling (even though I don’t like roadtrips) for the mere reason so I can avoid social gathering!

Bucket List

Yep. Been hearing a lot about people dropped dead suddenly. Mulai dari si Adjie Masaid, babenya si Joshua, then just now Emma's friend juga Dadaism died of heart attack. She was 29 years old, just got ,arrayed last October. Life is so fragile. That's why I really hate Andi each time I have to remind him over and over again about healthy lifestyle. Anyway, decided to make a bucket list for myself. 1. Back to NZ 2. Sky dive 3. Vacation to Russia 4. Having more than enough funds for Onya to pursue her degree in England, Oxford University preferably :) 5. Ngeliat Andi punya bodi keren 6. Buying a house for my parents 7. Karet tengsin dijual Hmmm....... Belon kepikiran yg lawn. Nanti di update lg deh

Pippy

We have a new addition in the family. We adopted a Jack Russell from SPCA.  Kenapa anjing? Karena seumur idup gua, for as long as I can remember, gua selalu punya anjing. Bukan cuma sekedar "miara" loh, tapi yg bener2 part of the family.  Yg paling membekas itu tentu aja Piko ama Picca my last two dogs.  Kakah died when I was about 5 months pregnant with Onya. Jadi Onya sama sekali ga sempet ketemu my dogs.  Makin kesini gw makin yakin, kalo animals play an important role in kids life (at least di idup gw lah). They learn about responsibility, caring and most importantly compassion. I wanna give a chance buat Onya ngerasain apa yg gw rasain ke Piko n Kakah. The gift of unconditional friendship they gave... And how u learn to love them too.  Kenapa adopt? Karena saya ini agak2 idealis tapi realistis. I love animals. Dogs especially.  Idealis karena gw mau do the right thing YG GW BISA. Realistis karena, as much I want to.... Gw ga akan sanggup kl disuru jadi...

Another Random Post

It is perhaps a monumental probability that I've simply forgotten what has kept me here. Or evidently, what I have fought so hard for. What wind could be so strong, it banishes hundreds of acres of oaks, yet still ever so gentle enough to persuade even the most delicate of buds to move with, barely, an inch-long effort. My God, seeing kunyuk with that robe triggered something inside. I miss her. I know she'd worked soooo hard to be where she is now. I miss those moments. Though I must admit, maybe, just maybe... Im not running for the same dream anymore. The passion still there, ... it's just become a smaller part of me. Could I have waited this long, and demolished five full years of emotional barricade? Nah. I've walked too far to even think of steeping back. What faith could have, so morbidly, left my judgement impaired? The first scar may be the deepest, but a scar is a scar. ... and one left to bleed without stitches is bound to come undone. Tapi guess what? Im hea...
