Hamil & Kehamilan

Begini ya rasanya hamil... serba salah, kalo perutnya terlalu kosong, mual... makan lewat dikit aja dari bates cukup kenyang, mual... berbaring terlentang agak lama, mual... bauin sayuran yang biasanya doyan bgt (kayak capcay, sapo tahu, brokoli cah seafood.. huwek.. bayanginnya aja pengen muntah), mual... jalan2 agak lama, mual.. kadang pindah posisi tidur aja mual.. ampun deh... tapi enak juga sih, my hubb jadi care bgt, dikit2 tanya mau apa & diapain, dipijitin, dibelai, disiapin makanan/minuman, dia udah susah2 masak trus ga aku makan juga dia ga komplen, malah sibuk cari2 makanan alternatif laen.. termasuk mau ngejar2 tukang sayur buat beli tahu karna aku lagi pengen banget makan tahu goreng pake sambel kecap.. hihihi.. baek banget deh.. wonder, gimana rasanya perempuan2 yang hamil ga ada suaminya ya? pasti ga enak banget, udah mah kudu sembunyi2 supaya orang2 ga tau dia hamil (means kudu berlaku seperti orang tidak hamil yang susah komplen kalo deket asep rokok, angkat2 berat, lari2an... ampun..).. trus ga da yang merhatiin, ga ada yang pijitin kalo pegel, ga ada yang belai2 kalo lagi mual, tetep kudu ngerjain kerjaan rumah, ga ada yang tanya, "mual ga? perutnya sakit ga? cape ga?mau makan apa? mau dibeliin apa? .. dll dll".. duh, kasian bgt ya.. jadi inget, one of my friend conducted her wedding party while she was 2 months pregnant.. berarti lagi eneq2 gitu dia kudu bermanis2, pake sepatu hak tinggi2 sekali, berdiri berlama2 sambil senyam senyum.. ngikutin segala prosesi adat2 itu.. ampun, jagoan bgt ya dia?! well well.. berarti aku kudu bersyukur bgt, punya suami yang nauin bgt kalo istrinya lagi hamil, dan juga kudu bersyukur bgt karna aku biar mual2 tapi ga muntah2 hebat.. sampe saat ini sih.. hehe.. mudah2an terus begitu..

Weird Food

Few days ago I watched tv show called: "the 10 weird food in universe".. some of them are not really weird to me, as it just fried grasshopper in bangkok (i had tried fried grasshopper when i was in summer camp in junior high, and it was good, tasted like shrimp.. maybe cause they are closed-related taxonomically, some like crustacean.. or somewhat like that. hehe..)... or a bull frog legs served with porridge in Singapore.. hmm.. i think it would be great, since the bull frog legs are very very good, tasted slightly like chicken but even better.. hey hey, do i belong to the weird people eating weird food? hihihi... But then, when it showed a scorpio coated chocolate... yaaaikks! how come the people said it was crunchy tasty healty chocolate?! weeek.. almond coated chocolate is crunchy tasty healty yummy chocolate!that i'm sure!
But it was nothing, when the show came to the weirdest food named ballot in Philipine..... make me loss my apetite to my breakfast. It was embrio of duck! yes, it is. It was boiled egg but not ordinary egg, cause the egg has been fertilized and become an 18 days embrio.. yes, they eat the baby duck! you can see the yolk, the vein, .... uuuugh... no thanks.. i wont eat that food.. i don't think it was food at all,..and now i don't want to eat my boiled egg.. uugh..

Hari kerja terakhir

Hari ini hari terakhir kerja sebelum libur lebaran.. asik deh.. pagi2 bangun agak siang, mandi, sarapan cornflakes pake anggur red globe, mmmm nyam.. udah gitu pergi ke kantor, lucunya dpt omprengannya opel blazer, hihi.. keren bgt yak?! lucunya lagi, isinya cuman kita betiga : si mpunya mobil, aku + my hubb. hehe.. jalanan kosoong bgt, sampe2 heran liat tol segitu kosongnya, ajaib. enak bgt kalo jakarta tiap hari bisa kayak gini... mmm.... what a perfect start for facing a long holiday...
Sialnya, siang2 ada yang bikin bete, si ali cleaning service toilet cowo datengin aku pas aku mo wudhu, dia tanya gini, "THR nya dong, kemaren bu retno ngasih, pak bob ngasih..." cuih.. sebel.. siapa diri lu musti dikasih THR? aku kan ga pernah berurusan sama dia.. emaaang, sesekali suka terlibat conversation sama dia, tapi jarang soalnya orangnya agak2 nyebelin apalagi kalo udah mulai sok2an berdakwah,.. ih, ga tau apa ya gw paling benci didakwahin begitu!ini lagi tanya2 THR.. ada juga kalo aku mau ngasih, aku kasih OB yang suka beliin aku makan siang, yang mau aku titipin ke bank, yang mau bantu2 aku fotokopi, dll dll.. lha ini, ga pernah ada hubungan apa2 juga.. minta2.. sebel bgt.. sampe kudu narik nafas panjang, esmosi jiwa.. sebel.. merusak kebahagianku aja.. huh.. ternyata ga semua orang mau berteman dengan tulus ya?! dari dulu aku diajarin supaya ga pilih2 temen, jangan liat statusnya, bertemen ya bertemen aja.. jadilah dari jaman sekolah aku bertemen akrab sama mang onyon tukang teh botol di smp, si enang tukang parkir, pa yono tukang baso, dll dll.. dan semuanya hepi2 aja, semuanya tulus bener2 bertemen.. ini mah.. udah jarang ngobrol, ngomong sering ga mutu, pake minta2 segala.. sebel..

konon, kata orang2 kalo lagi hamil tu ga boleh ngerasa sebel/benci, tapi aku gak kuwat deh, bener2 esmosi jiwa, jadi aku curhat deh sama b nari, ijal & p nasir.. hihihi... jadi pengen ketawa, ternyata semuanya di mintain si ali juga & ga ada yang ngasih dengan alasan yang sama kayak aku... hihihihi.. gokil..

duh jam 5 masih lama yaa... males bgt kerja nih, udah kebayang2 packing, trus naek kereta ke bandung, makan masakan ibu, curhat sama budhe ttg sarupaning kehamilan... uuuuuh... lamaaa...

Taxi & attitude

Sebage orang yang males uwel2an & lari2an ngejar2 bis yang ga mau berenti bener, aku lebih suka naek taksi, biasanya sih ga merhatiin mobilnya apaan, pokoknya capnya blue bird ya sudah! Tapi belakangan, naek blue bird pun suka nemu hal2 yang ga ngenakin. ya sok2an ga tau jalan lah (kagak mungkin supir taksi ga tau jalan thamrin kan?!), yang nyetirnya bikin sakit kepala lah, yang hobi maen klakson, yang suka terima hp & ngobrol berlama2 sampe telat masuk jalur lambat.. huh.. these days, almost everyday my hubb pick me up by taxi to go home, ever since he knew i'm pregnant.. enaknyaaa.. hehehe.. after lots of chit chat with those drivers, now i know that not all blue bird's have same quality. if the driver has a good attitude, never been complained by customer, etc.etc yang bagus, then die bakalan dapet mobil yang bagus pula yang paling mutahir.. sekarang mobilnya vios... 2nd best dapet soluna, dst dst.. jadi kalo naek blue bird, carilah yang mobilnya bagus, good car means good attitude of the driver.. kalo dapetnya timor, ya, sukur2 dapet yang ga macem2, biasanya sih suka sok2an ga tau jalan, jadi kudu dicerewetin...

Supranatural

Wonder, how people with supranatural power managed their lives. They know what will happened to our lives, but, are they know what will happened to their selves? huh..
I grew up in a supranatural-non-believer-family. But as I grown up, I should admit that yes, some people are really have the sixth sense called supranatural power. It happened when I came to the office for the first time. I joined the company along with some guys, one of them is a cute-sweet-smart guy that used to go to junior high with me. When we both stood in line to the photocopy thing, an old indian lady smiled to us and said, "did you know that you two belong to each other?"...????!!! hey! that time i was in the middle of a semi-serious relationship. i thought, we thought, the lady is insane. hihihi... later i knew that she known as a precise fortune teller. hmmm?? but then, yes we fall for each other. Several years later, a chinesse lady-friend of my man- out of the blue told him that we will get married next year, and the process will be starting at the end of the year.. wanted to believe in her, but i kept my realistic-mind, there was something between us that made us couldn't get married easily. hmmm.. and again: she's right! everything just like she told us... weleh weleh...
Just couple months ago, an old javanese lady came to me and said, "you'll get pregnant as soon as you want to.." should i believe her?
but then, yes she's right.. hmmm... do i change to become a supranatural believer now? don't know.. just a curiosity in my mind : how those people managed their lives?? how those people live their lives if they know what will happen in the future?? and why those people livin' around me? is that a gift?

The Amazing Feeling

I couldn't describe what i felt when the doctor said, "yes, you're pregnant"... my body shaking, my mind blowing, my eyes wet, and fully speechless.. thank God. never felt so happy this way. just : amazing.. amazing to know that there's a little human growing inside my body, how the cells devided & developed, just like the embryology thing i used to read when i was still in college. how's the two tiny winy cells become one human being, just still out of my mind. yes, i understand it scientifically, but something missing.. how somebody could arranged something so detail?? what would i say is just Subhanallah.. thank God for givin me the pregnancy, thank God for givin me that amazing feeling, thank God for everything...

Period

It's been 2 weeks since the date that I should have my period.. well.. so what?! hehe.. it's usually late time after time. Afterall, it's Ramadhan, hehe.. asik kan kagak batal puasanya.. Hmm.. but stil, i want to find out why. So I bough a pregnancy test toll kit (the cheap one, as i usually get my period soon as my urine been tested), and hey, surprise surprise, there was 2 stripes!! 2 stipes = pregnant! wow. not happy. not sad. just wow. i want to have a baby, but still don't have a courage to be a mother, mentally i am not ready. so, early in the morning we (me + my hubb) went to the mother & child hospital nearby our house. The doctor was late, 2 hours late! huh! kalo gw udah hamil tua udah berojol kali! Then, he took me to that usg thing, and said : "i couldn't see anything. its probably you are not pregnant, but i'm not sure. just come back here next month." That's it! huuuh!! betebetebete.. udah lama nunggunya, cuman dapet jawaban gituan! emangnya gw orang bodoh tolol ga ngerti kalo tes itu ga cuman usg doang?! dokter gila, ini kan bulan puasaaa.. if i am pregnant then i have to change my lifestyle including kagak ikut puasa! I felt so up set,dissapointed and gloomy, felt like loosing something special... hmmm.. maybe deep deep down inside, me myself is ready to be a mom ya?! then, i bough a test toolkit (the most expensive one) and test my urine early next morning. The result? + ...hey... oke deeeh.. berarti emang kudu ganti dokter kali yaaa.. so just now, i made a reservation to the well known hospital in jakarta, we'll see what the doctor sez.. uh..
