Dear wifey - The Rain

Dear Bunda,

The sky is cloudly in this couple of days. Even the last two days was always raining everyday. It will be so wonderful to spent sometime lying on the bed. Just not doing anything and enjoying the warm of the room while at outside rain falls heavily.

Rain always bring a melancolic moment. Rain will bring colder temperature. Wet asphalt. Splash of water when hitting pavement.

I have been being a motorbike rider for almost 10 years. The sadest moment but at the same time the sweetest moment on the ride was at the time of raining. If I brought a wet suit, I will stop to nearest place with a roof to use the coat and continue to ride again. If I didn't bring it I will stop and wait until the rain stop or until at least the rain not so that hard anymore. But most of time the rain is never stop at the time I move away again. So at the end I always get wet with or without stopping.

While stopping I often stop in different places. My favorite will be a mosque. Because usually it will be more comfort and warm. One I remember was a mosque near Pondok Gede when I was still in college. At that time I stop from before maghrib until about 9 PM abd the rain even still not stopping yet.

Beside mosque, other nice stop is warung. Not as comfort and warm as mosque but at least we can chew so many things. Other option will be a gass station, people front house or just an empty building.

Seeing cloud this morning bring me again to all of those memories. Rqin will be always a sweet moment.

PS: I love you

Dear wifey - Wonderful Breakfast with wonderful people

Dear Bunda,

This morning suddenly I remember a moment when I was staying in Choa Chu Kang. Knowing your friend is a wonderful thing for me. All of them are very nice people.

Every weekend usually we will go for breakfast together. There are some central market near their apartment. In second floor of that place there are a hawker. We usually will eat at malaysian food stall.

Oh ya, we need to walk sometime from apartment to approach that place. But since we went together it is always so enjoying to talk and laugh with them. The member of the party usually me, Feri, Was, Yoso and sometime Fikie when he came to Singapore. We will talk so many things a long the way. We will jaywalkimg silently when suddenly cop patrol car passed.

When we arrive at the hawker we will queueing at our favorite stall, most of time was that malaysian food since there are not many option for halal food. Later we will order our drink. For me most of time I order tea o peng. The one that I always remember is Was. He is really love coffee. So most time he will drink coffe with toast bread and half boiled egg. After finished eat we will talk for a moment then heading home together again.

It was always a wonderful time.

PS: I love you

Dear wifey - Rhe Sound of Dddrrrttt Drrrttt

Dear Bunda,

Have you ever heard sound from luggage wheels when dragged on the top of travelator? It sound like drrrttt drrrttt drrrttt when we drag our luggage by walking on travelator. We will hear it mostly in airport. But in Singapore there are some travelators also in MRT station. Usually in interchange. I heard that sound just now. It remind me a lot at the beginning time I moved to Singapore. I quite often go to Indonesia that time. Mostly for wedding preparation. When I brought a cabin luggage and in a hurry for catching the flight, I will make my cabin luggage sound drrttt drrrttt when I walk fast on travelator.

Now it has been more then 8 months since we married and half of it was spent by staying in a distance from you. Sometime time move so fast isn't it? Yes I have discussed time topic quite many. Because it is the thing that separate and also unite us again. The time is now. After 8 months. I reminded by a simple dddrrrttt ddrrtt sound.

Can wait to go to evening of this day and meet u at the airport. I will make sure for us to have a wonderful time together.

PS: I love you

Dear wifey - Bourne Story

Dear Bunda,

Aku sedang menonton Bourne Ultimatum. Bourne adalah sebuah seri novel tulisan Robert Ludlum. Cerita tentang seputar dunia spionase. Menariknya hanya beberapa seri yang dibuat oleh Robert Ludlum sebelum ia meninggal. Seri novel ini kemudian dilanjutkan oleh Eric Van Lustbader dimulai dari Bourne Legacy yang sedang tayang di bioskop saat ini. Sayangnya Bourne Legacy pemain utamanya bukan Matt Dammon lagi tapi Jeremy Renner. Ia pertama kali aku lihat di Mission Impossible dan kemudian di The Avengers sebagai Hawk Eye. Tak tahu kenapa rasanya kurang enak menonton Bourne tanpa Matt Damon, meski aku mungkin tetap ingin melihat Bourne Legacy.

Aku senang Bourne dibandingkan katakanlah James Bond (tak perlu sebut Johhny English) adalah karena Bourne terasa lebih humanis. Tentu saja Bourne tetap saja super power dengan segala kemampuan bela diri, keahlian senjata dan kecerdasannya. Tapi ia bekerja sendiri dan berbeda dengan Bond, Bourne tidak suka main perempuan. Ia setia dengan kekasihnya Marie Kreutz yang dimainkan Franka Potente. Oh ya bicara tentang Franka Potente, ia adalah orang Jerman dan pertama kali terkenal saat memainkan film Run Lola Run, salah satu film Jerman yang ingin aku tonton sejak dulu. Sayangnya Marie meninggal di seri Bourne kedua, Bourne Suppremacy.

Menariknya di Bourne Ultimatum, Bourne sempat dekat dengan Nicky Parson yang dimainkan Julia Stiles, namun hubungan mereka sengaja dibuat menggantung di akhir film ketiga ini. Awalnya aku mengira cerita mereka akan diangkat di film keempat. Ternyata film keempat tokohnya pun sudah berbeda total.

Daya tarik Bourne adalah kecerdasannya, bisa banyak bahasa. Selain itu Bourne juga syuting di banyak tempat-tempat menarik di Eropa. Di Bourne Ultimatum terjadi adegan kejar-kejaran yang seru di Tangier Maroko. Dengan nuansa perkotaan Afrika Utara yang indah sangat memancing daya tarik untuk mengunjunginya suatu waktu. Berikut tempat-tempat lainnya. Tentunya bersama bunda.

Btw aku jadi ingin sekali nonton Bourne Legacy. Nanti kita lihat sama-sama ya. Btw lagi aku baru sadar di paragraf terakhir email ini kalau aku ternyata menulis menggunakan Bahasa Indonesia. :p

Dear wifey - The Astronout

Dear Bunda,

In this last several days (one or two weeks) several jets is flying around apartment. Sometime three sometime 4. It was military jet. Must be very sophisticated one, since Singapore is very rich country. They must be in training. It fly so fast and bring so loud rumble sound. In physics theory, that loud sound happen similar with the case of lightning. When very fast object moving through air, it create low density area very fast. Suddenly, air surround that arie will fill that empty area very fast. Each of those airs will be collide each other and make very loud sumble sound mentioned earlier.

In my childhood me and my friends have two type of dreams we want to be. First one is not serious dream and second one is serious dream. I was kiddding want to be an ojek driver. My friend said he want to be a taxi driver. But of course we were not serious. We just want to make funny thing when older people ask us about dream. My second dream was, I want to astronout. Seriously.

In my childhood I read many scientific books for children. That book was very interesting because contain a lot of images. Most of book that I had read at that time was relate to astronomy and outer space discovery. That's why at that time I really want to be an astronout even though how unrealistic it was.

That is the interresting side of children character. Children always dare to be dream withou considering unnecessary things too much. But at the time they grow, they will realize that when hitting the wall because having "too high" dream is hurt. Then man start too lessen their dream.

That condition can be prevented one of its way is by having supporting family. That's why later at the time we have children I want to be very supportive parrent for any dream that our children have. Under the sun everything is possible. I want to make our children believe it until they grow up and find their own success.

Today the jets was flying again this afternoon still with it loud rumble sound. Somehow I remember about my old dream to be an astronout. Flying that sophisticated flying vehicle and flying to anywhere I want.

PS: I love you

Dear wifey - 24 Hours

Dear Bunda,

In couple of hours we will meet again. It's been more than 4 months, the longest time we are being separated by distance since we met. Honestly I feel so shy to meet you again. I know we already married, but not stay together for that long time make a little funny and nervous feeling to me :D.

Dear bunda, I will clean up my room, tidying the bed, sweeping the floor, washing all the dirty clothes for welcoming you. Around 24 hours again I will see you and you will see me. Do you still remember the night at Soekarno Hatta when I was crying while hugging you before you enter immigration area. I thought it will be not easy to stay away from you. Yes it is not easy. But at least I am getting used to be more little bit patient. And always looking what is the secret meaning behind all of this beautiful scenario. Several weeks after you left, I often look our pictures. Most of time tears will drop for unresistance miss feeling.

Dear bunda, take care along your travel. Eat and sleep properly. Ask warm blanket on the flight. I miss you so much. And I will miss you either you are far and close.

2 other emails still in queue to reach you within today. ;)

PS: I love you
