HANZKY

ini sebenernya ceritanya udah agak lama, sekitar minggu pertama bulan oktober..waktu itu hari kamis..one of the teachers said to me that miss dede wanted to talk to me...langsung aja gue ngerasa ada something wrong..trus gue samperin kan..she was changin diandra's diaper..dan dengan muka nggak enak gitu dia bilang.."tomorrow is my last day here"..i was like whaaaatt..asli kaget banget dan langsung sedih gitu gue. gue tanya kenapa pindah..katanya karena day care ini doesn't pay her enough and doesn't give any benefits..kaya waktu dia sakit 2 minggu yang lalu itu dia harus bayar semuanya sendiri..emang ngaco tuh day care nya..masa cuma di bayar $7 per hour sih..it's a tiring job, seharian taking care of the kids, ngegendong sana sini, dealing with dirty diapers..gue aja kaget sih waktu tau dia cuma di bayar segitu.

Yahh kasian Jibran doong..what is he gonna do without her?..huhu..jibran nih sayaaaang banget sama miss dede nya, kemana aja di ikutin, jadi kalo miss dede nya ke kamar mandi jibrannya kadang nangis..dan nungguin di pinggir pintu. Sama guru guru lainnya jibran di bilangnya miss dede's shadow or miss dede's boyfriend. tapi memang semua anak seneng sama miss dede, even the teachers admit that..karena orangnya memang baik banget..she seems to genuinely loves the kids and enjoy her job there. dan gue senengnya juga karena tau kalo jibran gets special attention from her..kalo siang jibran suka susah tidur pasti dia bakalan duduk di sebelahnya untuk ngelus2 kepala nya jibran biar tidur..hehe..kan kalo jibran tidur siang sorenya gue enak..dia nya nggak cranky. trus juga jibran is happier when she's there, ketauan kalo pas di jemput..he doesn't have his binky on his mouth..nah kalo miss dede nggak ada..kadang tuh suka pake binky..dan nyebelinnya juga suka nggak jelas itu binky nya siapa.

trus yaaa ya udah lah mau gimana lagi..masa mau berhentiin sekolahnya jibran gara2 guru kesayangannya keluar sihh..kan nggak bisa depend on one person gitu..apalagi guru2 di day care emang gitu, they come and go just like that. pokonya yang jelas gue sediiihh banget deh..sampe nangis gitu, hehehe..sedih aja to see her go dan gue terharu aja for what she has done to jibran. tapi ya..gue juga ngerti banget kalo emang that's what she needs to do.

ya udah akhirnya abis jemput jibran we went to get her a package of godiva chocolate sama kartu nya juga yang ada foto nya jibran. waktu hari jum'at nya..the day care threw a party for her, they ordered cake and everything..and everybody got to sign the goodbye note for her..huhu..

setelah pindah ke tempat kerja yang barunya..miss dede masih suka telfon ke day care to talk to miss sandy..and of course she has to ask about her little man..hehe..kadang dia minta ngomong sama jibran juga..tapi jibrannya nggak mau ngomong katanya..malah lari ke jendela seolah olah nyari apa miss dede nya ada di luar. i know he misses her a lot.

udah 2 hari ini udaranya dingin banget, tau2 langsung nge drop gitu. Di dalem rumah tetep aja dingin..soalnya kalo heater nya di set tinggi2 juga bikin tenggorokan kering banget..padahal kan lagi puasa. Jibran dari tadi bersin2 terus..kayanya mau pilek deh. i have to call his ped to schedule a flu shot. Badan gue masih pegel2 gara2 kerja seharian di dapur hari sabtu kemaren..tapi seneng acaranya sukses =)). Called dhl this morning to ask about the shipment, tracy said it's cleared by the custom..yay.. and it's scheduled to arrive here tomorrow by noon..finally!!! Nanti sore mau ke target, mau liat area rugs and maybe go to the mall cause hana needs to get a pair of khaki pants for school..trus nanti buka nya pake kfc aja ahh...dapur tutup hari ini!!!

anyway..hari jum'at lalu pas pagi pagi anterin hana and d..bensinnya udah nyaris habis, tapi lampu nya belum nyala sih..tapi setelah nge drop hana lampu nya langsung nyala and i thought i'm just gonna go to Casey's since it's right in front of our subdivision..dan pas udah masuk casey's nya entah kenapa gue berpikiran.."ni gimana nih kalo udah gini tau2 pom bensinnya rusak?.."..eh bener aja lho delapan gas pump itu rusak semuaa..ajaib..dan gue mulai deg2an takut mobilnya nggak nyampe ke pom bensin berikutnya..hehe..deg2an tapi sok nyantai...untung aja sih selamat sampe tujuan nggak mogok di jalan..:p.

Trus sore nya we went to buy lots of stuff for hana's party..dan di telfon si adit di suruh mampir ke rumahnya dan buka puasa di sana..oke dehh..trus entah kenapa lagi gue nyeletuk gini.."ndut si tante ngajak buka di sana masak apa yaa..jangan jangan masak siomay lagii??"..soalnya kita udah rencana masak siomay dan es teler buat besok..dan udah beli fish paste nya 4 bungkus di global food. Ehh bener aja tau nggak sih pas nyampe sana..menu nya siomay bok..pake es teler pula..hahaha...kita langsung ngakak gitu pas sampe sana..oh well..untung aja sih yang dateng besok yang ada di sana cuma manda, adit, sigit, reza and arya..kalo enggak..ntar nggak ada yang makan lagi gara2 bosen liat siomay dan es teler..hehe..

dan kejadian2 seperti ini di mana gue seperti tau dan di kasih tau what was about to happen tuh sering banget..banget banget..maybe i have to start writing it when it happens..

Mommy, Mama, Mom, daddy, Hana, or Na kalo dia lagi males, Baby, Didi for Miss Dede, NO, Choos for shoes ..or is it for jimmy choos?..haha..Cheese, Eat, Pizza, Nose, Ball, Boohbah, Elmo, Jojo (jojo circus), Car, Ke' for Cat, Hish for fish, Ney for Snake, Mimi for pinguin, Teke for Thank you, Ball, Allahuaba for allahuakbar, Amin, Camiil for Syamil, teeth, Yummy, Daah for dadaah, O'ow (haha..is that even considered a word?..:p), Oh gaw (oh god), Byabye for bubbye,Go, Three, More and this one questions that he asks a hundred times a day...wasaaaa for what's that???

aan, my bestfriend of 9 years will be here tomorrow for the whole week..and i couldn't be happier..=)). she currently lives in jakarta, used to live in boston and madison..and now she is on her two months vacation that she spends mostly in her brother place in DC. waahh there would be some serious catching up in my house in the next few days or so..hehe..

seneng banget yaa kalo di tengokin gitu..and basically i love meeting people (new one, old one as long as they're nice)..people inspired me, makanya setiap ketemu orang pasti deh there are at least one or a few lessons that i can take from the encounter. so far belum banyak sih ya yang mengunjungi kita di sini..palingan waktu juni kemaren ada bokap and my sisters..oh terus ada dina and zani too for two weeks (one of my fave couples)...abis itu my high school friend Imam, who was also d junior high school friend stopped by st. louis on his way to arkansas from atlanta..imam dateng sama cewe nya, ade cewenya, temen ade cewenya (?!?!) and adit maul (also my high school friend). kita ketemuan di downtown karena mereka abis dari arch, and then we had lunch at sen thai trus balik ke rumah untuk istirahat bentar, minum bubble tea dan mandi2 before they continue their trip. trus yang paling recent sih pas indo night kemaren bu tik tik and irvan (my other fave couple) dateng dari chicago dan nginep di rumah. besok ada aan...trus abis itu ada siapa lagi yaa? ada yang mau dateng??

ternyata bener ya, pekerjaan rumah itu bener bener nggak ada abisnya..it's tiring..membosankan juga karena yang di kerjain itu itu aja setiap hari nya..dan yang nyebelinnya itu there is no sense of accomplishment, no some kind of recognition and we're always on duty 24-7 and to make it worse...we can't put it in our resume...boohoo. kalo di pikir emangnya di rumah ngapain aja sih...hmm let's see...

jam 3.30 bangun sahur..jam 4 lewat dikit tidur lagi...trus bangun lagi jam 7.15, siap2in breakfast buat jibran..7.35 keluar rumah to drop d off at the metro station and then off to drop hana at her school..got home around 8.10. Trus biasanya suapin jibran, abis itu mandiin..pakein baju, bla bla bla..and i brushed my teeth, ganti baju (nggak sempet mandi!!)..Jam 9 anterin jibran ke sekolahnya trus jam 9.10 udah sampe post office tapi ternyata line nya panjaaaaaaaang sekalii mungkin karena kemaren post office tutup karena columbus day ya. Ya udah nggak jadi masuk..langsung pulang ke rumah aja. Jam 9.15 sampe rumah...cuci piriing..banyak banget nih cuciannya, sisa sahur tadi pagi..sama sisa semalem juga kali yaa..abis itu beresin ruang tamu...beresin mainannya jibran, buku2nya, majalah, etc..beresin benda2 yang ada di atas meja makan..beresin pantry yang nggak keliatan bentuknya...kira kira sampe jam 10.15 deh tuh, abis itu mulai masak...bikin soup ayam plus cheese buat jibran, bikin kuah cakwe yang kaya di abang2...abis itu bikin tahu special..trus bikin telor dan udang balado. Abis itu of course lah nyuci piring lagii...bersih2 lagii..nyapu dapur dan ngepel (inem style)..itu baru selesai jam 1.00...gila kaan..berkutat di dapur selama hampir 3 jam, ck ck ck...padahal itu tahu nya juga baru di kukus..belum di goreng..abis itu I went upstairs and online cause i needed to do some works on the computer, made a few phone calls..sampe jam 2.45..time to pick up my sis..tapi mau mampir di post office yang tadi dulu lagi but judging from the number of cars parked in the parking lot..udah pasti lebih ngantri dari tadi pagi..ya udah lah nggak jadi masuk...langsung ke sekolah hana..ada temennya juga yang ikutan ke rumah..trus deket situ ada post office, ya udah lah mampir kesana. Sampe rumah jam 3.30...langsung goreng tahunya...kira2 sampe jam 3.50 trus langsung mandi dan beres2 kamar sampe jam 4.15. Trus siap2 jemput jibran, berarti harus siapin minuman dan cemilan dulu...jibran kalo di jemput trus di mobil nggak ada minuman dan cemilan bakalan langsung ngamuuk berat..hehe...ya udah jam 4.30 udah sampe di sekolahnya jibran, trus abis itu jemput nduti and went home around 4.45. Sampe rumah langsung gantiin celana nya jibran yang ketumpahan yoghurt...trus cuci piring lagiii...(i swear somehow there's always dirty dishes in my sink..nggak ngerti kok nggak abis2..padahal makan juga seringnya pake piring plastik kok!!)..Abis itu sekitar jam 4.55 siapin minum dan dinner and diapernya..jibran untuk di bawa..Jam 5.05 baru deh bisa leyeh2 bentar...tapi bentar banget siih soalnya jam 5.10 udah pergi lagi nganterin hana ke sekolah..soalnya ada acara fundraising dinner di sekolahnya gitu...sebelumnya kita mampir ke grocery dulu to get a dozen donuts..trus sampe sekolahnya jam 6.00 . Abis itu kita bingung mau langsung pulang apa muter2 situ aja..masalahnya kalo pulang nanti pasti males keluarnya lagi untuk jemput. Tapi mau muter2 juga makan di manaaa secara nggak ada apa2 juga di situ, ya udah akhirnya muter2 aja..pas jam buka..drive thru rallys and white castle..makan di mobil..trus balik lagi ke sekolah hana deh nungguin di parkiran sampe jam 7.30. Trus jam 7.45 udah sampe rumah...jibrannya ketiduran di mobil, jadi di pindahin ke kamar...trus saya ganti baju..dan lipetin baju2 yang abis di cuci yang ampun2 deh banyaknya..tsk tsk...sambil ngobrol di telfon sama nyokap, bokap, tante dan nenek. Abis baju2nya di lipetin..di masukin ke closet nya masing2..trus jam 8.45 beresin kamarnya jibran..beresin buku2nya dan mainannya. Jam 9.15...cuci muka, sikat gigi dan sholat Isya...trus tidur deh sekitar jam setengah sepuluh lewat...

seee..now you know why i haven't been able to go online as much..i really have a lot to do at home (nothing to brag about..just regular household chores but it's endless)..and i think i began to feel sick of it...i mean..i don't want to sound like an ungrateful bitch..but can i at least get a break??...hiks2..i do enjoy this most of the time..tapi lama2 cape juga yaaaaa and surely there's more to life than doing household chores all day long, isn't there??..i feel like taking a vacation, to a place i've never been..that has a different food, different people, different culture, different scenery and different language. hmm...it makes me feel good already by thinkin about that.

anywaayy..or maybe someone can ship one of the mbaks back in my mom's or my in law's here to me?..mbak atun, mbak asih, mbak is, mbak ti, mbak nur and mbak eva..where are you when i need you?..huhu
