Dear Bunda,
In last few days so many Singapore flag is put in many places. Singapore birthday will come soon. August is the month when many countries celebrate it birthday. For most countries the birthdat is the date they declare their independence. For country whose never collonialize, their country birthday maybe taken from their king or queen birthday. Maybe.
August is a month where many countries celebrate it independence day. What I remember so far they are Singapore, India and of course Indonesia for sure. In Indonesia our independence day is celebrated in a unique way. It is celebrsted with so many funny contest.
I flashback to a moment when I psrticipated in some of that funny contest. Most likely that flashback will bring us to childhood time again. Back to AIP when I was living with patuo and matuo.
In that august I participate in so many contests. Eat kerupuk, race with our mouth hold spoon with marble in top of it, catching fish in small swimming pool, etc. I will share the story detail some time later. What I remembered again in that afternoon my friend called me several time in front of house. He asked me to came to stadion in compleks where the winner for the countest was announced. If I am not mistake I won a pen that time.
Do you know from where this email topic ha come? I am sitting on sofa in 2nd floor teletech park when my eye notice some flag that hooked in some places in front of building.
PS: I love you

Dear wifey - Teacher Story
Dear Bunda,
Teacher has significant impact to interest development of their student. Boring teacher will teach with boring way which at the end will make student boring as well. Passionate teacher will teach with full of passion which at the end will transmit the passion to student too.
I falling in love with Mathematics since I was in junior high school. It began on my 2nd grade when I taught with a Christian teacher named Pak Tri. I don't remember exactly what that made me so falling in love with Math by his teaching method. Actually at first grade I was teach by a muslim woman teacher. Her name is Ibu Turenih. I thought she must be ex activist in her university. Because her hijab was very long. She is very nice and kind. But my interset with Math only began after Pak Tri teach me.
At another lesson is Physics. We first interact Physics in junior high school isn't it? The great teacher that teach me at that time was Pak Sahroni. He also OSIS counselor. When he teach he present full of all passion that he had. So then many of student, include me really want to impress him by studying and finishing assignment as be as we can.
At the other side there was another teacher in 180 degree. His name Pak Cirrus Simanjuntak. Can you guess from where he come right? The most negative attitude of this teacher is he like slapping student when student cannot answer or made a mistake. He teach math as well. Alhamdulillah I never teach by him. One interesting story, when we on the 3rd grade Pak Cirrus died suddenly. Some of the student said he died because drunk and eat dog (some batak people love to eat dog). Very ironic in situation there are so numerous people love when you die. Naudzubillah.
Anyway, my break time was run out. Will share another story next time.

Dear wifey - Sleep
Dear Bunda,
With some exaggeration, it feel so fainful when we have to against a willing to sleep more. Even though at the other side, it is exactly uncomfort as well when we sleep too much. We can feel this example on a weekend. Our bed feel like a heaven. It seems only because factually the more we sleep the more our energy is drained by oversleeping. But still, when weekdays is coming I always miss so much to meet next weekend when I can oversleep again.
In second grade of my highschool, my class was started on PM time. About 12.30 PM to 5 PM. It is because AM time was used by 1st and 3nd grade. This split was needed because classrooms in my highschool could not acomodate so many student that they had. So in second grade my favorite routinity was sleep again after shubuh. It was undescriptable pleasure and tired also.
In unuversity I have to leave enjoyment of have nearby school. I have to commute to Jakarta for every working day. Then I started to enjoy to sleep on the way. At angkot and at bus. Not perfect sleep but it was to temting to ignore.
At the end, the funny will be that our thirst of sleep can be paid as much as we want at the time we sleep forever. At least before resurrection day. Whenever it come hopefully at the time we ready.

Dear wifey - Setahun Kemarin
Dear Bunda,
Today, exactly 1 year ago we was somewhere in a place name de hoek. Still remember exactly quite detail all of that moment. We are looking some food first if I am not mistake it bebek slamet. But since it closed we moved to another place. That restaurant that perhaps I will remember forever.
I don't understand woman exactly as man also don't understand himself exactly. I don't remember whent it was started, but my interest with you grow so fast since the first time we met. Of course I did some research to justify my decission. Decession to propose you in informal way. I started from your facebook. I started from your twitter. I analyzed our way to communicate. Messenger, SMS, etc. It still a gift for me to have opportunity to close with you in very short time. After some deep consideration then I decide to talk about I feel about you. Previously, I thought woman can detect when a guy have some feeling with her. Especially man usually will act the girl very proper when he fall in love. That's why, maybe that time I still don't understand woman exactly. Then at the time I talk to you, I never thought it will make you very surprised.
What I remember about taking 29 July 2011 as the date of revealing my feeling to you is I don't want to hide it too long. Also 2 days before Ramadhan will be quite memorable. Even though Ramadhan will always move sooner year by year, at least I can still remember that I propose you in informal way 2 days before Ramadhan. I don't have any script to talk at that time. I just pour my feeling to you that evening. Without artificial dialog. Everything is coming from my heart. Never expect anything in return. Just want to share what I feel. That's all.
And as the time goes by, like one of my favorite meme little bit I modify, everything went better and much better as expected. But of course we have to work out many things for our ideal life. Saving much money. Learning as much as we can in any field of our interest. We also have to keep our life harmonious. From young, till old. I always want to be with you. Happy aniversary for my informal proposal.

Dear wifey - To be or not to be a stupid
Dear Bunda,
This morning I just want to say that I really love you. I always want to spent rest of my life and there after with you. It is so peaceful when seeing you sleep so comfortly. It is so warm when you always talk to me so softly. It is always cheerful when you often make a joke with your rich expressions and gestures. We will never know exactly, about how it will be after now, where will be heading, what obstacles that might exist in our life. But I always want to walk and run with you. There is no guarantee for smooth-life-without-problem-at-all. But just believe that every challenge in our life must be always improve us. Just remember whatever doesn't kill you will make you stronger. Or in Super Mario Bross term, whatever doen't kill you will only make you smaller. ;)
In last days, I often make some mental rehearsal for about 1 year forward. I will finish my first year contract and suspend for about 2 months (I never think to be employeer for too long). At that time we will go Umrah together and directly go for some vagabonding for several weeks. Visiting some countries in Middle East, North Africa, West Europe and end in East Europe (Moskow maybe?). After that travel you will back for finishing your small remaining study and for me hopefully confidently finaly can got a scholarship. Then later we will start live together in most beautiful place on earth (actually with you every place is beautiful, every food is delicious, every odor is fragrance). Living together make write the checklist while we one by one reaching our dreamlist from our dream book.
We will never know until trying. Rather sound stupid in life rather than to be stupid by not taking action. The first action will be dreaming that for sure have to be followed by real action.

Dear wifey - Ramadhan, Mie Ayam and Rujak
Dear Bunda,
Today already 7th day of Ramadhan (8th day in your case). Time move so fast isn't it?
Beside romansa shubuh and also the memory of sahur in Surya Restaurant there are still so many thing that come into my mind when thingking about Ramadhan. One of it is hunting food after Tarawih. We are blessed to be born on country that so rich with food. Although cursed at the same time by so many ridicolous people who live in there as well.
After finished Taraweh in mosque usually I would hang out a moment in mosque with other people. Just laughing and do small talk. Some of them also drink their coffee. Some of people also recite quran inside mosque. After I think enough hanging out, I will go home, but will stop by in mie ayam stall near mosque. Ramadhan often boosts income for most seller, especially food seller. Include mie ayam and es campur seller near the mosque. The mie ayam that they sell actually is very ordinary. Even we only can find less chicken in that mie ayam. Most of the pieces that we thought as chicken actually cutting of raw papaya that is mixed with chicken with proportion 80percent raw papaya and 20percent chicken. Very logical since he sell mie ayam very cheap to adjust with consumer level in that area. But anyway the food was so great. Maybe also because in Ramadhan most people appetite increase significant. Mie ayam + a lot of red sauce + kerupuk kulit + es campur as closing = hard to describe of pleasure.
I have know for long time the mie ayam seller. I forgot his name, but I first knew him when I was in Elementary school near central of Jonggol city, near alun-alun. At that time he sell rujak. One of my favorite. Usually I will buy combination of bengkuang, pinnaple, rose apple and the most important is watermelon. All of it then will be poured by melted red sugar sauce.
In corelation of this I remember a scene in my childhold. "I have a riddle. Please mention minimum 20 kinds of fruit within 3 second!" Ask me. Some of my friend start mentioning all fruits that he can remember. But he only can mention up to 3 fruits as well.
And other smart pals try to answer. "Please mention minimum 20 kinds of fruit within 3 second!" I repeat.
With confident he answer. "RUJAK!" within one second only.
Talking about fruit make my saliva stimulated this afternoon. Oh still some hours to breakfasting. Happy fasting dear.

Dear wifey - The Contest
Dear Bunda,
I just want to share one short story even mostly you have heard this as well. One time in one kingdom the king make a contest. The award will be married with king's daughter or will get a lot of money. But the contest detail was not announced until the day.
So the day finally come. In one evening a lot of men come to the yard of the palace. Most of them tall and have giant body and of course look intrepid. The king then gather the audiences in center of the yard while the king himself and his daughtar wait in one side of the corner. Between audiences and king is separated with large pool. Most of audiences waiting in the side of the pool while the king then make announcement. "Between middle of yard and me there is large pool. The pool is full of crocodile, predator fish, scorpion and any vicous creatures ever live. Anyone who can swim accross the poll and reach me here can get the award."
It was some silent for a moment. Until suddenly everyone hear on big sound of plunge. Someone splashed into a pool. Immediately all the wild creatures approaching that brave guy. With very high skill swim, the guy move so fast and zig zag avoiding all that creepy animals until finally he can arrive at the end side of the pull and jump out directly to the side of the king while then take deep up and down breath so fast. Everyone suddenly startled and all become quite. That guy is very small. Short and thin man.
"Wonderful young man congratulation" said the king, when at the same time most of the audiences seem dissapointed by not acting fast like that young little man. "So what that you want?" Ask the king to the man to chose prize.
While still fast breath the young man said very loud "I want to know, who had pushed me to the pool!!??"
Moral of the story is how hard something for us will be harder if we just considering without acting directly. The easiest way is just plunge to the water, sometime wonderful thing happen and we can achieve that difficult thing. Of course we have to do same preparation. But over preparation will only piling up doubt feeling in our heart. Just plunge to the water and swim fast. Second moral from the story is act as fast as we can, before anyone take the opportunities.
