Hallo..Ini adalah post pertama aku di tahun 2018. kenapa sekarang jarang banget ngepost? karena emang belum ada waktunya aja dan juga terlalu sibuk sama kehidupan sehari-hari, yang sebenarnya pengen di ceritain di platform ini selalu ada, cuma buat apa? lol therefore, all the materials here must be properly filtered before i decided to finally share.

Hari ini, aku mau cerita tentang kucing-kucing ku dan ini pertama kalinya aku melihara yang bener-bener melihara kucing, bukan cuma sekedar kasih makan doang kalau mereka datang tapi literally melihara! geez..ternyata it was not only fun but hard at the same time, dude. Jadi, tips simple kali ini adalah bener-bener mikirin matang banget kalo mau melihara peliharaan, which is kucing, anjing, kelinci, or whatever it is. Jadi, sebenarnya udah lama banget aku pengen melihara kucing dari kecil, cuma selalu gak dibolehin karena kucing-kucingku sebelumnya suka poop sembarangan dan juga mungkin masih riweuh kali ya ortu ku ngurusin anak-anak dan kucing sekalian wkwk. pokoknya setiap videocall atau voicecall sama ibu, selalu minta pelihara kucing terusss tapi mau nya yang sejenis anggora atau persia or at least blasteran, ceritanya biar keren. 

Dan berawal dari seringnya kucing lokal betina yang hamil tanpa diketahui indentitasnya dan siapa yang menghamili datang ke rumah dan selalu minta makan, dan kasian juga karena lagi hamil tua. beberapa bulan kemudian lahirlah anak-anak yang lucu-lucu 3 ekor. wait, pokoknya aku belum sayang sama kucing-kucing ini, karna kekeuh mau nya yang persia/anggora. dan waktu itu pas banget timingnya harus balik ke jogja lagi jadinya tidak bisa ngerasain bareng-bareng sm anak-anak kucing itu. However, ibuku selalu ngasih makanan tetep ke mereka bertiga dan sampai ke tahap mereka bertiga dibolehin masuk ke rumah. tapi sebatas karpet doang..lucu banget! warna nya kuning garis-garis coklat seperti corak harimau. Di tahap ini, masih aku belum sayang dan mereka masih belum punya nama. sampe salah satu dari mereka hilang dan sisalah 2 ekor lagi.

Gatau kenapa, mereka dipakein kalung ala-ala peliharaan gitu sama ibuku, dan tiap hari tetep dikasih makan dan makanannya khusus dibeliin untuk mereka, ikan segar tongkol putih yang di rebus 1 kotak tupperware sendiri hahah dan anehnya kurang suka wiskas. mulai dari situ, ibuku selalu up to date ngasih kabar tentang mereka, kirim-kirim foto dan sampe akhirnya kepikiran buat kasih nama. Bundel dan Sipink.

Bundel dan Sipink, kucing yang suka kelahi tapi tetep saling sayang. Ketika pulang ke Batam Bulan Februari, 2018 kemaren, full day aku selalu sama Sipink dan Bundel. Sounds cliche, but it feels like love at the first sight. I love them so dearly, and people might think i'm crazy lol. Eventhough they are not persian or anggora, once you love someone, despite of their ordinary looks, you love them still. Well, they're not really someone because they are animals. But i must admit, they are very beautiful and clean and you guys gotta admit it too.

I'll tell another story of Bundel dan Sipink in another occasion because this post already reach the limit. Thanks.

P.s: Sipink already passed away, and he always be missed and loved by our family.  

Being a perfectionist is one of my special trait. But frankly, i never declared myself as a perfectionist and i didn't want to at the very first place. First, menjadi seorang perfectionist mempunyai konotasi yang agak negatif buat diriku sendiri, well i thought so. why? karena identically, being a perfectionist means we want something simple but it could turn out to be something complicated unconsciously. Everything must be in perfect way, without any flaws. which is, it is not a bit good for certain surroundings around me. 

Second, ngga semua orang bisa nerima masukan ataupun kemauan seorang perfectionist ini. karena lagi-lagi, seorang perfectionist maunya banyak! dan terlebih lagi harus sesuai dengan keinginan dia dan not everyone is capable in following the orders.  That's why being a perfectionist makes people think we are bossy. And people tend to dislike or hate the bossy guys. Sometimes tho! 

And Third, i'm genuinely so pissed off with people when they use something or stuffs, but never turn it back into the proper place like it used to be. Or goods but they are not well-organized. Atau semisal habis makan atau masak, tapi ngga langsung dicuci, well i am extremely pissed off sih sama yang gini lol but i prefer keep it to myself  rather than make a scenes.

Fourth,  When it comes to typing in laptop in ms.word or sorta things, i will use justify alignment because, the others just not so..neat. I dislike it. Pokoknya harus rapi banget nget nget and really into details. And my friend said "kamu orangnya perfectionist bgt ya fen." when i checked the proposal and about to emailed him again to be printed out. Well, he is not the first tho who said i'm such a perfectionist.

However, being a perfectionist is not merely this miserable or pissed kok. Because i tend to make everything in a perfect way or perfect shapes, the result somehow just magnificent. (I am not saying the result is going to be perfect, but at least i am very proud of it and satisfied.) (although it took so long than usual.)  One of my experience was when i was in 2nd Semester and i got task from my lecturer to make a paper. And it must contain at least 5 books references. So, i borrowed the books  from the library and worked on it. Honestly, i was a bit in pressured because the subject that i took supposed to be in 3rd semester, that's why i worked so hard because i was too afraid. lol.

And, the 2nd semester passed, and all of sudden, my friend said "fenty, nilai mu dipampangin di infocus loh sama bapak ***. Cie. Katanya ada anak 2015 nilainya paling tinggi dari pada kating." well, i was a bit surprised and happy at the same time. hahaha. and i recalled the time when i worked hard on my task and etc then i thought "ga ada hasil yang mengkhianatin usaha." And of course, thanks to my perfectionist trait because it wouldn't let me untuk ngumpulin tugas yang seadanya. even, sometimes i felt the burdensome in it. lol.

Subsequently, I am still working on my memorial for next year, tapi rasanya susah banget nyelesaiinnya even sebenarnya udah bisa ditulis. but, being a perfectionist, kata seadanya aja is never enough right? ;)

Hidup itu gak selalu sesuai dengan kemauan ataupun kepentingan pribadi diri kita, terkadang kita harus bisa hidup dengan orang lain, dan harus bisa fit in disegala kondisi apalagi kalo judulnya "hidup bersama". By means of hidup bersama not merely about a couple who live together tho, tapi di cerita kali ini, aku bakal lebih concern sama kehidupan anak kost-kostan yang hidupnya seatap dengan orang lain yang kadang tidak sepemikiran dan tidak sama gaya hidupnya.

Well, i have an issue, isu tersebut adalah ketika sekeliling ku dalam keadaan yang kotor and let's say it's public use. And i bet, everyone also feel the same. but, wHy sometimes di surrounding ku seperti itu?! so fed up. I can't help but thinking apakah karena mereka udah selesai memakai barang-barang tersebut or aktivitasnya  udah selesai jadinya who's next to use the stuffs they didn't even bother gitu?!

I love cooking. which is i have to be in the kitchen to prepare stuffs but sometimes what makes me mad is dapurnya itu kotor. And i am not so called a neat freak BUT come on, you guys have the responsibility to take care of your mess and belongings to be cleaned up. We don't serve maid here, ladies. The fact is almost 100% of anak kost ku memakai dapur but just 40% that actually take a shit to the chores.

We have already told ya directly or even indirectly thru the post notes which is A LOT around the kitchen's wall that saying "abis masak tolong dicuci dan dibereskan" and we actually put them a lot *cri* do you guys can't read it properly or you have an issue with understanding bahasa? *gasp*

Even more, buat Maba Miba yang baru nge kost atau jauh dari orangtua, mungkin baru ngerasain hidup mandiri, gak ada yang nyuciin or so, ya mulai sekarang dibiasain buat take care of the mess you made in OUR kitchen. abis masak, meja nya di beresin, kalau ada yang jatuh-jatuh atau minyaknya nyeprat sana sini ya tolong di lap, dan juga plis peralatannya langsung di cuci karena sink nya bakalan sempit kalo masih banyak yang kotor dimana i don't feel comfortable at all.

I have responsible to my trash that's why i always clean up the kitchen as neat as i can. That's why, whenever dapurnya kotor, i feel betrayed?! like, is this what i get in return?! Ya intinya dari sebanyak keluh kesah ini, please dapurnya di bersihin karena yang make juga bukan kamu aja. The way you treat others is actually the reflection the way you value yourself.

Actually, I am not the kind of girl who likes eating in the place so called Angkringan, but who the hell knows that right now i have my favorite one. As you guys knew, i already stay in Yogyakarta for about 3 years and this place that i dear so much, rich with its culinary and it's obvious that the angkringan in Yogyakarta are different like in another town. The feels.


I don't know the certain reason why people like to eat or even just hang out in Angkringan when you know, the lighting and place somehow just a bit dark and not too comfortable (for me), with friends or etc but one thing for sure, it might be because its cheap prices and its simplicity. But, for certain Angkringan that i ever visited, it offered a little bit high standard prices and i was a bit surprised lol hm maybe because it's located in strategic area for tourists (re:Tugu).

Well, i just realized that every once a week (or even more), i'll come to my fave Angkringan and besides, its location is extremely near with my Kost-kostan, only 3minutes by walk. it is located in Hotel Madukoro's yard. And it is called with Angkringan Baba. 


What i love about this angkringan are, the humble ibu penjualnya and she is so kind! she even has a nickname for me haha she called me "cah ayu" everytime i came. Also, The meals and beverages. It only served nasi kucing as the main course. But, others snacks like Sate Puyuh, Tahu Bom, Sate Kulit, Gorengan, and etc also served too.

Talking about the prices, it is affordable kok. For 1 portion of Nasi kucing, its price about 3K. Nasi kucing nya pun juga banyak jenis lauk nya kok! ada ikan teri sambel (My favo), Ayam rica, Oseng tempe. seporsi nya kira-kira ya...sekepalan tangan lebih, ya namanya juga nasi kucing hehe. Kalo jajanan nya itu, paling mahal mungkin 4K ya buat sate telur puyuh yg isinya ada 5/4 telur.

Dan minumannya! I don't disagree about the very good taste of Susu Jahe (Ginger Milk) by her. Komposisinya selain ada jahe dan susu, juga ada gula jawa merah nya jadi rasa minumannya kayak pedes-pedes manis seger hangetin gitu deh haha. My favorite above all. kadang ke tempat ini cuma pesen minumannya doang.. Tapi, selain JaheSusu, minuman yang lain juga tersedia kok, jadi tenang aja kalo yang gak suka minuman tradisional. Harganya sih kurang lebih 7K. (Ginger Milk)


Buat ukuran tempatnya, lumayan nyaman buat Angkringan untuk orang seperti aku. dan bersih! this is a must! But, sekarang setiap malam mungkin sekitaran jam 10 malem keatas, angkringannya suka penuh karna banyak anak-anak pada nongkrong dan paling gasuka kalau ada asap rokoknya, so i prefer to take my foods away lol and besides makanan di tempat crowded i just cannot and ain't comfortable unless of necessity. (lah jadinya bukan makan angkringan dong namanya?) And FYI, Angkringan Baba bukanya pas jam 19.00-tutup. maybe around 24.00 WIB dan berlokasi di Jl. Tamansiswa, di pekarangan Hotel Madukoro. Worth the money deh pokoknya, Pas banget sama kantong anak kost.

When Breath Becomes Air was not my favorite but right now, it is one of in the list. Why? Because as i have finished read the whole pages, it taught me so much lessons. Such as about life, love, family, works, co-workers, and others that i cannot mention one by one.

The first time i knew about the book was when i unintentionally click random picture in explore of instagram and when i open it, it was from gitasav (one of insta celeb) and i went thru to the comments and someone said it was good and sad at the same time, then i screenshoot it and made it into my list to buy.

And someday, when i came into the bookstore, i was looking for Murakami's because dad's in town lol but ended up i didn't because it was expensive rather than in another store so i decided to buy another book and again, i intentionally found this!!! undoubtably, i picked it with love hahah and seek for other books and got into the cashier.

I unpacked it, and ripped the plastic to uncover it and started to read it.

My impression about the book was,

"Oh, this book, has an easy words to understand."
"Where's the part when he suffered the cancer?."

But then, i was wrong. The words of the book was filled with medical's verbality that i can not understand and it made me feels like i was a medical student for a moment lol.

This book, divided into two parts. the first part told about the story of paul when he's still young, still study for his residency, how he succeed his medical journey, how he was in the top of them.

and, the second part told about  story of paul when he suffered and fighting to his illness, even at the moment he ever had his good condition back, and even he was in OR operating patient, when he and his wife decided to have child, well, his wife Lucy was work in medical career too as anesthetist.

The story of this book was very emotional, when you have to sacrifice everything you've been built in the first place to the future but then, there was no future at all. About what's important thing to makes you hold out. About leaving our dearest people because you knew you didn't have much time.

Frankly, this book made me in tears at some part. I don't know if you guys (to people that have been read it or soon will be) would in tears too lol because i am such melancholic person.

I also have a few of my favorites words that i quoted from this book:

These are my favos from his beautiful written book.
What's yours?
