Hobby elo, apa?

Sun, 19 May 2013 00:17:44 +0700

Hello world, it’s been a very hectic week, even it forces me to work on the weekend. Damn it, what a pathetic week :(

*kali ini maaf fotonya enggak nyambung sama isi blog ini. Intinya kalau boleh disambung-sambungin, ini adalah tentang gue yang lagi di Muzium Negara di Malaysia. Hobby gue sekarang adalah traveling dan tentunya tetap foto-foto.

Eh tapi sebenarnya sih enggak pathetic-pathetic banget sih. Cuman kadang gue lagi suka ngerasa kesepian aja. Gue males banget juga tapi. Tapi malem ini gue harus menulis beberapa hal yang gue jumpain di minggu ini.

So, minggu ini gue ditunjuk lagi jadi mentor oleh HRD gue untuk mendidik (cieh ileh mendidik, yang ada gue cuci otak mereka :P) anak-anak baru yang ada di kantor. Sejujurnya, gue seneng banget ketika disuruh menjadi mentor-mentor-an ini, sekalian latihan kalau insyaAllah suatu hari gue jadi dosen (amin ya Allah!).

Bulan Februari yang lalu gue menjadi mentor dari salah satu junior gue yang bernama Adrian. Sebenarnya sih enggak junior-junior banget, orang dia lebih tua sebulan dari gue. Kalau kata teman gue “kita cuman masuk lebih awal” tapi enggak ada yang namanya junior atau senior. Oke sip.

Pertama ngobrol sama Adrian, langsung nyambung dan heboh ketawa ketiwi tiada tara. Awalnya gue mau ngajarin apa, gue bahkan lupa saat itu gue nyuruh dia bikin apaan untuk pertama kali, sampai akhirnya translate diary-diary yang enggak ada habisnya. Kesan gue, Adrian orangnya menyenangkan, cepat terbuka dan juga cepat curhatnya juga. Intinya, anaknya fun banget karena gue itu bawel dan dia juga bawel jadi ya asik-asik aja kalau ngobrol. First impression gue intinya, ya dia fun banget, and I enjoy teaching him as well :)

Setelah selesai mentoring week dengan Adrian, gue cuti ke Malaysia dan Singapur. Kita kadang masih suka WhatsApp-an karena saat itu Adrian ngabarin gue dia enggak masuk di team gue…. Dia bete, karena gak bisa barengan gue. Harapan gue waktu itu juga semoga dia masuk tim gue karena gue merasa udah kenal duluan semoga ke depannya kerja barengannya juga enak. Hehe. But it seems that he enjoys his work with his current team now, insyaAllah :)

Lalu minggu ini, gue diberikan anak baru untuk gw mentorin selama 2 minggu. Namanya Joshua, kita sama-sama lulusan Curtin, tapi dia dari Singapur dan gue dari Perth. Kagetnya lagi, dia lebih muda 5 taun dari gue…. Gilaaaak! Padahal gue baru awal kerja itu umur 22 tahun dan ini anak baru ultah ke-20 udah kerja. Sebenarnya sih gue juga ada teman yang kayak gitu, di umurnya yang ke-20 dia juga udah mulai kerja. Ini adalah orang-orang yang gak ikut jalurnya, maksud gue, mungkin SMA/ SMP/ Tahun kuliahnya lebih singkat daripada orang-orang pada umumnya, makanya cepet banget lulusnya.

Anyhow, pas dikasih tau gue bakalan mentoring Joshua, jujur ajah gue bingung. Mateng gue, gue agak susah ngadepin orang pendiem karena 1st impression gue adalah, anaknya pendiem. Tapi berdasarkan pengalaman gue, gue lebih bisa ngadepin cowok yang pendiem daripada cewek yang pendiem, entah mengapa.

Dan it happens, pas awal gue kenalan sama dia, anaknya pendieeeeeem banget. Gue bingung mencari bahan obrolan, untunglah gue tau dia kuliah di Curtin, jadi kita ada sedikit bahan obrolan mengenai background kuliah. Kemudian masuklah ke mentoring week, gue minta tolong dia bantuin bikin report.. Di sini gue mulai melihat bahwa doi emang pinter, cepat nangkep, dan mulai banyak nanya juga.

Kadang gue ngerasa canggung karena gue terlihat sebagai senior yang dodol (mungkin emang benar juga) -.-. I tried every single conversation that maybe suits him…. finally I got the right moment when I asked him,

“Hobby elo apa?”

Ternyata dari pertanyaan simple itu kita mulai asik ngobrol macem-macem ngalor ngidul dan gue udah bisa ngeluarin gombalan-gombalan gaib gue (semoga dia enggak nganggep gue senior yang aneh, kenapa senior kayak gini direkrut). Dan sama juga, dia mulai bercandaan yang gaib-gaib juga. Hahaha.

Yang menariknya dari sini adalah ketika dia nanya hobby gue apaan, gue jawab:

N: “Photography….”

J: “Terus?”

N: “Melukis….”

J: “Terus?”

N: “Satu ini, lo gak usah ngetawain gue sih…. Bikin puisi….” -.-

Dan kita ngakak berduaan.

Lalu dia bilang,

“Kalo gitu, bacain ke gue dong Na, puisi lo yang pernah lo tulis yang lo bilang paling bagus!!”

What? Gue engga merasa pernah menulis puisi yang keren. Isi puisi gue sebenarnya adalah rintihan galau kenapa gue suka banget sama seseorang, atau yang lebih anehnya adalah betapa gombalnya gue. Dan Joshua ngakak.

Lalu gue ngebacain satu aja buat dia yang asal ngarang banget,

“Perasaanku padamu itu bagaikan kopi. Pahit dan manis, tapi bikin kecanduan”.

Dan kita berdua ngakak guling-guling.

Gue berpikir pasti ini bocah nganggep gue orang yang gelo, gombal, senior yang aneh yang dipertanyakan keberadaannya kenapa direkrut di kantor gue.

But I did have a great time yesterday :) Finally I have another buddy in the office! So happy! Memang menambah teman dan menemukan yang juga seru dan asik itu, menyenangkan sekali! :)

Setelah mendapatkan kesan tentang Adrian, maka gue rasa gue juga sudah punya kesan akan Joshua. Dia pernah bilang ke gue, kalau dia akan mulai banyak ngobrol sama orang kalau dia sudah kenal dekat sama orang itu. Dan itu benar. He’s a person with that kind of type. That’s my impression at first too, and we’re both right.

And I hope this boy will enjoy his works later on :)

Setelah gue pikir-pikir, hobby gue semuanya tentang seni. Itu seru banget, karena pekerjaan gue sehari-hari bikin sakit mata liatin angka-angka tak beraturan. Tapi menyenangkan juga karena orang-orang kantor selalu mendukung setiap individunya berkembang.. Seperti misalnya gue yang pecinta seni ini.

One day, I will make my hobby become my job! Amin!

Good night, great friends.

Eki's last day at this big home, big family of us.

Tue, 14 May 2013 23:29:00 +0700

Since I was afraid I might spill tears during the farewell speech, I will just write it down here..

I was about to cry when this pict was taken :p

I might doesn’t know him that much as his other friends, I might say I am just able to know him better since last 2 - 3 months ago. Especially, last March. There was this time we were quite close because we just got back from Malaysia and had some chit chats with our colleagues there. It was fun.. I was in deep shit as well actually at that time because I thought another best friend of mine was about to leave, but thank God he cancelled his plan.

I told Eki that I am sad, I need someone I can share some stories about. He said that, “Just talk whenever you want, Na…. before I am giving my resignation letter”.

I was so shocked when he said that, even worse when one day he said that “Tomorrow I will give my resignation letter, Na”.

I was hoping that maybe he will cancel his plan, or maybe just wait for another 2 - 3 months to leave the company. But actually he just did it, postpone for just 1 week.

And from the day he gave his manager that resignation letter, he told me about that, and I just hugged him because I couldn’t say much, now I understand that I am.. sad because he’s leaving, and can’t believe finally the day had came :(

Yesterday and today he gave me some other hugs - that he usually gives after the day he said that he’ll leave me soon, but yesterday and today was tighter and longer :) I know he’s sad too but I hope that he has made the best decision after all. And I hope he likes the small present of Niimah doll from ugly dolls that I gave to him. The reason of why I gave him such present is because he’s weird and ugly doll is weird. LOL.

After all…

I know for sure that timing is a bitch, it sucks when moments are meant to last forever. To me, Eki is a very nice friend, very supportive. He also likes to tease me, makes me angry but then he asked me for a supper or dinner in the evening because we need to do over night works. Actually I don’t really know much about him. But yes, he’s nice and kind, despite all of his weirdos behaviour that I ever knew.

And I’m so gonna miss this boy so much. Thanks for being there through out my happiness and sadness, bringing me joys, and laughs through this 2, 5 years we’ve been together in the same company. I hope we will be able to meet soon! :)

Whenever you go, I hope you will always find reasons to smile, Eki.

Good night,

Nana Choesin.

Strange Conversation At Midnight

Sun, 12 May 2013 22:01:00 +0700

Selamat malam.

Kadang gue bingung kenapa otak gue lebih cepat jalan kalau di malam hari, terutama di luar jam kerja. Anyway, gue mau cerita sedikit cerita yang lucu yang enggak penting.

Jadi kemarin malam, teman gue ada yang dateng mampir jam 11 malem ke rumah. Oke, benar itu jam 11 malem. Doi mau pinjem iPad buat katanya jualan, jualan bisnisnya gitu deh. Kita ngobrol-ngobrol santai di jam 11 malem itu.

Kocaknya, doi pake helem masuk ke rumah gue. Gue bilang, kenapa enggak dibuka aja sih? Jawabannya adalah begini:

“Supaya kalo ditimpuk Abang lo ada cowok nyamperin lo jam 11 malem, gue enggak kena timpuk di kepala Na”.

Gue langsung mikir, ni anak entah cerdas, entah gaib.

Terus obrolan dilanjutkan di luar rumah di jalanan. Gue bingung kenapa kita harus ngobrol di jalanan, kenapa enggak di teras atau di ruang tamu rumah gue. Gue komentar, ini kenapa sih kita harus ngobrol di depan Vespa lo ya? Jawaban doi adalah:

“Iya sih Na, ini gue punya nasi uduk, khan ceritanya bagasi Vespa gue ini rice cookernya”.

Another insight jokes yang sungguh gaib.

Lalu lagi ngomongin soal gaji, dan gue pas lagi nyebut tentang gaji yang mau naik, pas ada tikus lewat. Jadinya gue bilang:

“Gaji naik pas…. tikus lewat”.

Dan dilanjutin sama teman gue:

“Berarti gaji naik setiap hari dong Na?”

….

Begitulah midnight chit-chat gue yang lumayan aneh.

Pembicaraan antara dua orang aneh yang ditanggepin dengan aneh juga.

Kadang-kadang gue berpikir gue bersyukur juga, Alhamdulilah, gue jadi orang yang punya selera quirky. Kalau kata teman gue, gue itu artistik. Gue enggak paham letak artistik gue di mananya. Kata teman gue sih karena meja gue di kantor berantakan. Gue malah mikir, itu mah gue yang jorok dan males. Hahaha.

It was really a good short catch up with my friend.

Again I need to regret that, he’s leaving soon :-/

And I solemnly swear that timing is a bitch, time sucks when moment are meant to last forever.

Anyhow, good night!

Nana Choesin.

Goodbye hurts, that's why we say "See You Again"..

Another entry about my life, so far.

Me and Fajar Eka Putra a.k.a Eki

One of my good friends in the office is leaving soon. He’s leaving soon and I know I’m gonna miss him so much. Anyway I prefer to say my friends in the office as “friends” rather than colleague, because to me, friends means closer, and it feels warmer. Hehe, apa deh.

Sebenarnya enggak banyak yang gue bisa tulis tentang Eki. Ok, namanya Eki atau lengkapnya Fajar Eka Putra. Anaknya baik, baik banget. Tapi juga bisa dibilang anaknya gilak. Karena dia selalu punya insight jokes yang sungguh tidak terduga, ngomongnya seenak hati tapi juga gak nyakitin orang karena rata-rata orang yang ngomong seenak hati itu menyebalkan. Tapi Eki enggak, dia baik bangeeet dan juga gentleman.

Sebenarnya gue enggak terlalu dekat sama Eki pada awalnya. Nyebelinnya, dia mau resign di saat kita lagi akrab-akrabnya. Eki itu menyenangi banyak hal, mulai dari Apple, music, Vespa, makanan, tempat beli baju yang agak-agak sama sama gue. Gue sih gak suka Vespa ngomong-ngomong. Tapi gue sama Eki sungguh nyambung kalo lagi ngomongin merek baju seperti Uniqlo dan Muji. Uniqlo sih, lebih tepatnya. Sampe dulu di Bangkok, gue, Eki dan Ucil 3x ke Uniqlo. Entah deh ngapain banget di situ. Hehehe.

Sama-sama nyambung karena setiap kali gue ke Singapur, Eki juga doyan banget nitip gue beliin game. Gue ama bokap ampe muter-muter di Orchard nyari toko yang dimaksud. Selain itu gue dan Eki sama-sama suka ke Singapur, dan kita juga baru aja dalam waktu yang agak berdekatan kemarin ke Malaysia dan ketemu teman-teman kantor di Malaysia, jadinya dari situ nyambung ngobrolnya. Kita juga jadi demen beli makan barengan sama teman-teman baru yang ada di kantor.

As usual, time sucks when moments are meant to last forever. At the time I am starting to enjoy my happiness again in the office because of so many great friends I have, that’s the time another friend of mine is leaving soon.

And all in all…

To me, Eki, honestly is a beloved friend, a handsome boy, gentleman, funny, cute, and supportive. I don’t know how he works at the office, but I’m pretty sure he always does his best for every project he handles. He’s nice to everyone, makes lots of lame and funny jokes. I hope he will do the best in his future career and business.

I hope I will be able to release mine soon too.

Good luck Eki! :)

Best regards,

Nana Choesin.

Someone ever told me, that once you loved someone with all your heart..

Thu, 09 May 2013 16:12:00 +0700

… you might lose your feeling for them, but you will never forget how your feeling was, how happy you were with them at that time.

Selamat sore, setelah sekian lama banyak ide yang tidak sempat dituang, akhirnya gue berhasil menulis lagi. Kali ini, enggak tanggung-tanggung gue kepingin menulis cerita tentang kawan lama.

Sejujurnya, gue memang pernah menaruh perasaan begitu besar akan orang ini. Boleh dibilang gue suka sama dia selama 3 tahun lamanya, kurang lebih. Sampai beberapa kali gue lose contact, ketemu lagi, inget lagi. Lalu lose contact lagi, dan kali ini gw habis ketemu lagi.

It seems funny, how my heart felt for him. Sepertinya gue paham kenapa gue suka banget sama dia. Dia amat sangat dewasa, jauh lebih dewasa dibandingkan gue yang masih ke-kanak-kanakan. Padahal umur kita sama, tapi perasaan gue kalau lagi ngobrol sama dia dan menerima nasehat, gue seperti bicara sama manager gue yang bedanya sekitar 6 tahunan dari gue.

Banyak nasehat-nasehat yang dia kasih ke gue di saat kita ketemu lagi.

Dulu kalau boleh dibilang, dia orang yang banyak menemani gue di saat gue lagi sedih dan gue gak bisa gak cerita ke dia. Gue yang seperti anak-anak ini mungkin hanya dianggap adik kecil sama dia. Pernah, waktu itu kita lagi sama-sama di tempat perantauan dan mau makan seafood sama-sama teman-teman yang lain.

Dia bilang ke teman baik gue, “Lo nemu Little Red Riding Hood di mana?”

Yang dia maksud Little Red Riding Hood waktu itu adalah gue, yang lagi pakai jumper dan pake kapuchon. Habis nanya kayak gitu ke teman gue, dia meluk gue. Lalalalala. It’s good to have someone that remember every single detail about you, and I remember every single detail that he once ever said to me.

Kalau gue pikir-pikir untunglah sekarang gue udah kerja, kalau belum kerja gue gak yakin gue punya jalan pikiran seperti sekarang. Paling enggak, sedikit lebih dewasa daripada jaman gue kuliah dulu. Meskipun gue tetap aja di jalan anak-anak gue yang emang susah gue buang karena menurut gue, that’s one of my uniqueness, hehehe.

Dulu gue pernah ngomong aku-kamu sama dia beberapa saat. Entah apa maksudnya, gue gak pernah mikir panjang. Gue sempat berpikir mungkinkah gue pernah mampir di hati dia, paling enggak dia mikirin gue gitu sebentaran? I never know. Perasaan dia yang paling dalam, hanya dia yang tau akan hal itu.

Anyway, sebenarnya kalau orang itu baca blog gue saat ini, this entry is pretty obvious telling about you. How much I adore you, how much I loved you, how much I liked about you. If you asked me now, how do I feel about you? I think it will still be the same. As the title of this entry, it is still there, and I don’t put any effort to forget you. Just the time and moment that we never have as we used to do before, are the one that erase my feeling toward you. Because I never had the courage to ask you out. It was a very happy feeling for me that you asked me out couples of days before :).

And yes you should now.. I think this feeling was (and is) very sincere for you. I don’t know why.

I didn’t know whether you feel any sparks, but I had (or have) fireworks in my heart whenever I was (or am) with you.

Best regards,

Nana Choesin
