Kok gitu...? (interview aneh...)

Apakah aku berlebihan?

Baca cerita ku dulu, kemudian kasih kesimpulan ya...

Beberapa waktu yang lalu aku sedang mendengarkan siaran di sebuah radio dimana sedang dilakukan interview kepada seseorang yang bekerja untuk sebuah perusahaan yang mencari tenaga kerja Indonesia untuk ditempatkan di Singapura.

Dia nampak seperti orang yang cerdas, cukup baik dalam pembawaan, dan ramah.

Kemudian mulailah dia “berjualan” tentang bagaimana kerja di Singapura akan baik untuk para pendengar radio itu.

Salah satu bentuk jualannya dia bilang begini :

“Bayangkan, Singapura merdeka tahun 1965, tapi sekarang mereka lebih maju dari pada kita. Itu menunjukkan struggle-nya mereka dan perjuangan serta kerja keras mereka”

WHAATT ???

Saat itu seketika aku naik pitam dan hampir melabrak orang itu secara fisik dan verbal.

Tapi aku ingat dia hanyalah seorang klien yang diundang di radio itu dan yang keluar dari mulutku saat itu hanyalah...“Tapi kan mereka negara kecil cuy, bedalah dengan kita yang luar banget dengan jumlah penduduk yang jauh lebih besar”

KOK BISA BISANYA NGOMONG GITU??

Mereka merdeka tahun 1965 tapi lebih maju dari kita?
Mereka jumlah penduduknya 4.5 juta!
Kita 220 juta! (kira-kira...hehehe)
Negara mereka tidak lebih besar daripada Jakarta!

Itu bukan perbandingan yang adil!
Sori aku ralat
Itu bukan perbandingan yang CERDAS!

DAN, mereka merdeka karena dikasih.
Beda dengan Indonesia....Kita karena berjuang.
Tepatnya 350 tahun berjuang.

Ya, memang itu waktu yang sangat panjang, tapi dalam 350 tahun itu setiap bagian di Indonesia melakukan perlawanan.
DAN kita memilih untuk memerdekakan diri.
Kita tidak terima “DIKASIH” kemerdekaan seperti rencana jepang.
Kita merdeka sendiri.

Gimana ceritanya kok mereka lebih struggle dan berjuang??

That was not a smart angle to promote his job.

I was wrong, he wasnt THAT smart.

Gimana tuh kalau seperti itu?

God save the Queen

Life is already written down

Several paths are provided on every scenes in life

What makes the difference is the choices we make

And really, life is not THAT hard

The only thing mankind needs to do is only to make choices

Others will fall in its places once the choice has been made

I made a choice

I’ll live through it

I know i’ll survive

I have faith

That's how God chooses to teach me

Because God is watching...God save the Queen

i fell life is...

Life is not like a Box of Chocolate

Life is not like a Roller Coaster Ride

Life is not like the Ferris Wheel

at least not mine

Life is more like a Basketball game.

It has Rage and Vengence

It has competition

It has Strength and Stamina

It has time outs

It has Fouls, Errors and Mistakes

It has Seasons

It has Rhythme

It has Victories as well as Losses

Life is more like a Basketball game.

At least mine is

...

How's life there?

Lemme share this with you...

....

JUNGLISH (JUNGLE ENGLISH)

What is Junglish?

Jungle English...is bahasa Inggris yang maksa

hehehe...lebih tepatnya berbicara dengan menggunakan bahasa Inggris tapi dicampur dengan bahasa sehari-hari atau daerah...

Dan kasus seperti ini sering sekali ditemui dalam keseharian

Terutama bagi mereka yang amat sangat menjiwai bahasa daerahnya

dan sebenarnya....I still do it...sometimes lah ya...hehehe

like one mentioned below :

Javelish...
The typical Javanese language: 'lho','lha', 'tho', 'kok', 'ki', etc
- Lho, I already bought that book !
- Kok, buying again ?
- I told you many times 'tho' !
- Lha, I didn't know tho yo... how ki !?
- Don't be like that, no....!?


Jakartenglish...
Jakarte English is marked by the 'sih', 'deh', 'dong','nih', etc
- That book is very good, deh.
- Can you speak english?.. yeah a little sih I can!
- Use my money first nih..
- Give me more dong..
- How sih? Little little angry..

Surobenglis...
Surobenglish is marked by 'tah' and the famous word is 'diancuk' (ooppss sorry...)
-Do you feel sick, tah ?
-Diancuk, my wallet was stolen !


Other exclamation words of Java (especially at New York-arto Hadiningrat...or Jogja): 'wo_','wah', 'wé_', 'jian', and 'jé_'
- Wé...lha this book is mine jé...!
- Wo..., only like that tho!
- Wah, expensive, tho?
- Jian...Paijem is so beautiful tenan.


Sundanglish...
Sundanglish is also available such as 'atuh','euy', 'mah'
- Well, if that kind, it pretty so-so atuh
- It can't be that way euy...
- I am mah, not like that... anything else ?


There are also abundant 'sound effect' in Javanesse language.
- Suddenly, mak bedhengus den Tukiman appeared
- My head feels pain, mak cleng!
- Mak tlepok, I got a manggo !
- My chicken is suddenly died, mak cekengkeng
- Mak gedebug, Kampreté fell down.
- Mak jegagik.... Oh, trondholo !
- Oh man, this food is Mak Nyuuuuusssssss.....tenan !


hehehe...semoga kebahagiann selalu bersama kita...

Keep smile....laugh...

karena sebenarnya tertawa itu menyehatkan kita...

I'm smile and proud...:)

Thanks God...

Today I am Proud of who i am

What i’ve been through and what i could still reign

I am proud of my achievements

Proud of my way of solving problems and overclimbing mountains

Leap Through Obstacles whether it is small or ice brink high

They're said that...

I am young

I have every reason to be Proud of myself like everybody should feel good of themselves

I am proud of everything i have and i owned

I am Proud of my Personality

Proud of my way of Thinking

My sometimes controversial idea

Always proud of my life

The path i took

Proud of my Parents...my Big Happy Familys...my Friends

Proud of my Victories in the past and my losses

Proud of the footsteps i left behind

Proud because it made me who i am today

and today

Today, I Smile and Stand Proud

And nothing feels greater than that!

What next...I will always ready for that... :)

When Uncle John said...and inspiring me

Its amazing how God can put things in your way.

Deliberately so that you can think of things in a new way.

One night, i put on this John Mayer DVD “Any Given Thursday” i just bought

I watched it and since its late and it has been a dog day i decided to sleep whist letting the DVD roll on itself

Once the ZZzzz’s starts to flew high i was in deep sleep, untill suddenly i woke up

Its 4 AM and on my screen is still John Mayer he was juts ending a song and about to go on another

In between he said these lines

Considering it is the 1st thing i see when i woke up, it strucked me full thrust

This is what he said…

“I’ve just found the key ingredient for a Relation ship, Really i just found out about it, listen to this, a lesson from your uncle John…

...

One day, your day blew up cos someone said that there’s this boy/girl that likes you. You were liek BOOM sky high coz that someone is actually the person that you have been laying ur eyes to recently.

So then, you got his/her number from a friend and caled em. You got a great conversation on the phone so you decided to push ur self and asked “How about we go out sometimes on a dinner or movie sometimes” and then She/ He said

“I Liked That”

Suddenly WHAM! SKY HIGH! You felt so happy because of

“I Liked That”

After acouple of dates ur on the phone again and this time you had another great chat and then you said “You know, i’ve been thinking about you lately” and she was like “Gasp! I’ve been thinkin about you too”

BAM! Another hit, you flew so high higher than before. At this point, “I Liked THat” just has no meaning coz now, you moved up to another level “I’ve been thinking about you”.

FastForward, Now you say that you love him/ her and that she/ he said the same thing “I Love you” Again, You went higher that before. Now, “I Liked THat” and “I’ve been thinking about you” just couldnt cut it. Now its I love you.

Fast FOrward then you’d be saying Oh my God i wish there’s a word to describe this feeling coz love just cant do it anymore

FAstForward than you be saying “Say you love me” and she / he said “I love you” You go like more, more, more, say it more. And then before you know you’d be exchanging ” I love you’s” untill it goes so fast and so long,

suddenly you hit a big moment that turns you around when he/she said…

“I Hate You”

You go like “What?? No you dont”

She/he like “Yes, i hate you, i hate you i dont want to see you”

And then you’d be exchanging

“I hate you’s” and at this point, nothing works, you’re throwing punches on the water, everything just ..

ends

And if there’s anything you can take out of this, is that..

You should never, ever, Dont ever Underestimate the Power of

“I Liked That”

Here, the crowd at Birmingham Alabama Cheers on him.

Suddenly, i come to think a lot of things about love.

About the thin line between hate and love and how it is driven by Emotions

How the unstable state of mind and the large ammount of emotion poured into 1 short mug will eventually, Blow up.

Never underestimate the power of “I Liked That” means Dont go hard on your Love.

Go easy, enjoy while it lasts

Take it easy and Enjoy the Ride

Regards,

that's why i called its a bless...

Pressure is Exhausting

Pressure is Threatening

Pressure is Deliberating

Pressure is Adrenalin Pumping

Pressure is Self Strengthening

Pressure is Imprisoning

Pressure is Self Absorbing

Pressure is Self Building

Pressure is Deadly

yet

“Anything that Doesnt Kills you, Makes you Stronger”

a common quote from a lot of books and a lot of movie.

The quote even can be found on The Big Hit DragonBall Comic Book.

So now we know that what ever hits you hard, so hard that it hurts so bad

That it feels like something you cant bare.

That the pain is indescribable

That you feel ike you’d die

But of Course, you didnt. You wont.

You survive, You live on, You exceed.

So at the end of it. You grew Stronger.

Remember that.

Put that in mind, whenever something bad happens…

“Anything that Doesn't Kills you, Makes you Stronger”

There for

I called that...

Pressure is a Bless
