penerbangan itu..

gw baru pulang dari semarang nih.. liputan ground breaking konstruksi jalan tol semarang yg GA JADI dihadiri sama Pak DjoKir..
ga ada yang menarik dari liputan itu karena acaranya cuma sambutan-sambutan-sambutan-baca doa-coffee break-tekan tombol-tiang pancang di pasang-acara selesai..
namun.. masalah cuaca di semarang yang seharian ujan melulu lah yang membuat degup jantung gw tak karuan.. *lebay*
karena gw takut penerbangan pulang gw ke jakarta seperti pas berangkat ke semarang.. X(

---

Jumat (30/1), kami berangkat dengan pesawat Airbus-nya Mandala jm19.30.. perasaan sedikit lega karena saat mau take off ujan deras dah berenti.. dan AIRBUS gitu loh.. dia bisa mendarat di air.. (insya allah) aman..

no kursi gw 24.A yang ternyata no 2 dari belakang pas di jendela sebelah kiri..

take off mulus..

tapi kabin belum nyala2 lampunya..

di luar gw liat kilatan cahaya lampu pesawat menerangi ujan deras berbulir rapat..

tanda sabuk pengaman pun tetep nyala ampe lebih dari 15 menit setelahnya..

pesawat goyang sedikit..

pramugari ngomong,
"penumpang yang terhormat. karena cuaca agak buruk, kami meminta ada tetap menggunakan sabuk pengaman selama anda duduk"

badan pesawat agak bergetar..

gw ngerasa ini hanya karena ujan kok, setelah ngelewatin pasti kembali mulus..

ga berapa lama, capt Bayu Widiatmoko ngomong,
"penumpang yang terhormat. kita akan SECEPATNYA mendarat di bandar udara ahmad yani semarang tepat pukul20.35. sekali lagi, kita akan SECEPTNYA mendarat di bandar udara ahmad yani semarang.. untuk itu tanda sabuk pengaman akan kami nyalakan.. cuaca di semarang agak berawan.."

gw pun langsung ngelirik jam tangan, masih jm20.15..

tumben pilotnya cepet banget ngasi komando siap2 landing.. dan kenapa ada kata 'SECEPATNYA'.. bukankah biasanya dia menggunakan kata 'DALAM WAKTU YANG TIDAK BERAPA LAMA'..

yasudahlah.. mungkin dia memang harus ngasi komando..
tapi kok gw agak deg2an yah.. kebayang kembali perasaan saat masih di jakarta,
*gw ga suka perjalanan ini.. kayaknya terlalu terburu..*

*DUAK..*

bagian kiri belakang pesawat mental.. astagfirullah.. tarik napas.. tarik napas..

*DUAK..*

bagian kiri, pas tempat gw duduk kelempar lagi.. mas imam (investor) sebelah gw langsung kebangun dari tidur.. astaghfirullah.. dzikir..dzikir..dzikir..

*SEEEERRRRR... *

pesawat meluncur turun kaya roller coaster... gw langsung nengok ke mas imam.. speechless.

*SEEEEERRRRRRR...*

jantung gw rasanya dah sakit banget...

oh my GOD.. astaghfirullah.. gw pegangan kursi.. tangan gw keringetan..

jam tangan nunjukkin pukul20.30.. laju pesawat kembali lurus.. goncangan pun berkurang.. dua pramugari melintas ke belakang, wajah mereka pucat.. ga ada senyum di sana..

harusnya bentar lagi nih kita mendarat.. captainnya kan bilang mendarat tepat pukul20.35..

tiba2 kepala gw pening.. pemandangan di bawah masih laut, kargo, pelabuhan.. pesawatnya miring, belok ke kiri.. ke kiri lagi.. ke kiri lagi.. *dia muter yah..* aduh kepala gw pening.. ya allah mudah2an mendarat cepet..

pukul20.40..
pesawat dah terbang lurus.. tanah datar dah mulai keliatan dari jendela.. pesawat masih bergetar sedikit tapi jalan tetap lurus..

captain ngomong,"passangers.. landing position.."

deg2an lagi.. perasaan khawatir yang melebihi biasanya.. *ya Allah.. semoga kami selamat sampai tujuan..*

pesawat makin turun.. kecepatan makin lambat..

*DUAK..*

roda mendarat keras di landasan pacu.. pukul20.50 alhamdulillah pesawat mendarat..

turun dari pesawat hujan turun gerimis, dan menderas ketika kami sampai di lobby bandara.. alhamdulillah ujan deres pas kita udah di darat..

------
sebelum berangkat ke jakarta ujan deres banget di semarang... pesawat Batavia Air akan take off jm17.00, sekarang jm16.30..
*ya Allah semoga cuaca nggak buruk pas terbang..*

pesawat Batavia dari jakarta dateng jm16.55, ujan dah berenti.. tapi hati rasanya dagdigdug..
nelpon mamah minta doa..
chatting ma peeyutz&nand minta doa..
berharap cuaca cerah..

akhirnya jm17.30 boarding.. naik pesawat dengan perasaan deg2an.. mudah2an lancar..

****

alhamdulillah selamat sampai jakarta..

dissapointment..

it was because andrea's hirata last book, 'maryamah karpov'..

after reading that book, instantly i shamed myself because earlier i said 'i like andrea's work, especially edensor'.. okay, 'edensor' is still beautiful for me.. and 'laskar pelangi'+'sang pemimpi' also have their 'magic'.. but not for 'maryamah karpov'
*no offerse for andrea's fans..*

some reasons of dissapointment:
the title 'maryamah karpov' did not have any significant meaning on that book.. only 'mimpi2 lintang' had quite important meaning..
*for me, "it was a person who want to make a 'brilliant&unusual' title for his book.. the title is made to make an impression that the the story of that book will be beautiful.. it's nonesense..*

then.. the plot is boring.. yup, in this book andrea showed his hometown, the neighbourhood, the way of live, and etc.. sometimes there were too many descriptions for people in his neighbourhood.. that if we skip those parts, it will not bother the whole strory.. in fact, those 'descriptions' repeated often when the story continued..
*for me, it's more likely the descriptions in oscar wilde 'the picture of dorian gray'.. boring*

he did not give the reader a significant moral lesson to the reader like his previous books.. i know there are still moral lessons like, 'you can make anything if you study and get the knowledge from it' or 'do not give up even many people did not believe in you'
*BUT AGAIN.. for me those moral lesson were FLAT.. NOT new.. and many people already got that from other places..*

okay.. i think i have to stop..
hmm.. maybe i'm too sarcastic in this review.. maybe i'm over expected with andrea..
*sigh*

pani vs the world..

it was happened friday, January 9 2009.
since i have to stayed at bapepam LK until 7.30 PM for the lame press conference..
then, muai just went home, without asking me...
I knew he was sick, but still..
he made me didn't have a choice than join "the kongkow thingy" with some 'friends' from indopasific.. i didn't have any problem with this PR consultant... i just didn't want to see two people from that company... since those people made me sick..
at 10 PM my worst dream ever happened...the person i hated, join us at that place... and because i was nauseated with him...i instantly going out from that restaurant, find a cab, and went home...
in the cab.. i was looking for a friend to chatt... syl was online, bt she did't replied any of my text.. then i choose someone that i thought right to talk with... but i was wrong... he moocked me right the time the taxi driver had the wrong turn... i hate him, i hate the taxi driver also, i hate them all..
finally i got home.. sending the sarcasm text,"aku sudah sampai rumah.. terima kasih sudah membuat hariku buruk.."

100 days later: r.e.l.i.e.v.e..

today my mom organized 'pengajian' to memorize 100 day's my father had passed away.. i did not pay much attention to that event.. not because i did not care with my father.. i just did not like the feeling when people give a pity to me..
however, my mom got help from aunt grand ma&aunt from bekasi, aunt grand ma&aunt from ciputat, and ceu iim from tn abang.. my aunt from jatibaru did not came, only her daughter ika&his husband om teguh who gave a hand to pull back in my father's car to the garage..

after the event, i felt so happy since many people came.. most of them still my neighbors, my mom's friends from pengajian 'Al Latifa'..
there were also my uncles&aunts from kemanggisan&kelapa dua, my cussons from jatiwaringin, cibubur, berlan, rawamangun, and cinere..
there were also muai, and mba mingky's friends ilham&henry..

after this event, i think my mom will organize another 'selametan' for mbah putri 40 days..

*sigh*

hopefully there wont be many tragedies this year..

happy new year 2009..

i had the most 'awesome' new year's eve celebration in my life..

i accompanied muai who has to report the situation in monas..
better than goin into the crowth.. muai&me just made an observation from 'wisma antara' roof top..

i've made some photos with my digicam.. not really good, just nice.. unfortunately, i didn't make any capture of myself.. *so silly*
but, antara photographer, Prasetyo Utomo, captured us with his SLR camera..
i think by the time i got those photos, i will use it as my profil photo on my FB.. *teteup yah..*

if i can elaborate in bahasa, my new year's eve was awesome because i got the chance to look..
"ratusan ribu orang berkumpul di bundaran air mancur BI..membentuk kilauan cahaya dari pantulan lampu sepeda motor yang terjebak macet..
mendekati pukul 00:00, suasana semakin meriah..suara terompet makin bising.. luncuran kembang api seakan tidak ada habisnya.. malam pergantian tahun 2009 memang tidak disambut kembang api besar di monas.. namun gemerlap kembang api yang secara sporadis diluncurkan warga memenuhi langit jakarta yang malam itu cerah tidak berawan.."

happy new year everybody..
