My-most naif-note

11/17/2013 09:50:00 am 0 Comments
I just found it, a note that I wrote when I was freshmen students in English Department. Sometime I amazed with my self. I wrote this kind of notes, which I think, ok let's pretend that I'm somebody, this note is....you know....is good, and very easy to read. But also deep. It's just feel like it's not me who wrote the note, it's somebody else. Yeah you can't judge you're good or not by yourself. But having this kind of "memory" really, very, amazed me.....

By the way this is the note that I talk about. Enjoy reading guys!

Kuliah itu??

Waw! That’s my first impression when someone ask me about life as college student. Kayaknya hidup jadi mahasiswa tu asyik, menantang, and bebaaaaaaas pastinya. Gak ada yang rewel nelponin atau smsin kita nanyain  “lagi dimana?”, “sama siapa?”, “pulang jam berapa?”, atau mungkin “mbak cepet pulang, udah malem!”. Dulu hal-hal itu yang berputar di otak saya. Wah kayaknya asyik nih kalo dah jadi mahasiswa, bebas pulang malem-malem, duit banyak bisa belanja baju ampir tiap bulan, bisa jalan-jalan kemana aja tanpa harus ijin ma ortu(kan kita jauh ye, jadi ortu juga ga tau kita ngapain hihi).
Tapi relita tak seindah apa yang kita bayangkan.
Hari-hari mendekati hijrahnya*ceilah hijrah* saya ke kota tujuan study adalah hari yang paling berat yang pernah saya rasakan (hari-hari ngedeketin UN ato pengumuman test-test sih lewaat!). Makin deket mau hijrah tuh ya, maleeuss banget buat ngepak-ngepak barang. Makin ga mau pergi dari rumah. Makin pengen lama-lama dirumah. Makin males deh pokoknya. Tapi, mau gimana lagi. This is my choice. Harus tanggung jawab dong, udah milih buat kul keluar kota, harus siap.


Dan sayapun hijrah ke Kota Kembang.

Ya allah, begitu sampe di tempat kost, rasanya tuh excited banget deh! Yee rumah baru, kehidupan baru. Beresin barang-barang juga masih semanget. Tapi pas ortu pamit, sakit banget, sedih,  nyeseklah dihati tu. Didepan mereka sih, masi bisa senyam-senyum ya. Tapi pas masuk kamer, tumpah deh tu air mata yang dari tadi ditahan-tahan.
Di otak aku, sekarang aku harus bisa hidup mandiri yang bener-bener mandiri. Mulai dari bangun tidur sampe tidur lagi semuanya sendiri. Nyiapin barang-barang buat ospek juga sendiri. Harus bisa jadi kebanggan ortu, ga boleh ngecewain mereka, dan bla bla bla. Asli keteken banget.
Pas awal-awal tinggal jauh dari ortu tuh rasanya sendiri (ga sendiri-sendiri amat sih, Alhamdulillah ada dia yang selalu nemenin saya kalo lagi sedih he :P). Dikit-dikit pengen pulang, dikit-dikit nangis, dikit-dikit ga betah, dikit-dikit kangen rumah. Tidur juga gak pernah nyenyak soalnya diotak masih kebayang-bayang rumah, adik-adik, dan ortu. Apalagi kemaren pas pindahan lagi bulan puasa, tiap sahur n buka tu pasti dada sakit nahan nangis. Ya allah, sekarang ga ada lagi yang bangunin aku sahur, ga ada lagi yang nyiapin makan buat buka, semuanya kudu sendiri. Hiks.
Belum lagi ngadepin ospek. Ospek univ sih, masih okelah ga terlalu repot soalnya udah disiapin sebelumnya dirumah.
Nah, ospek jurusannya itu..hadeehhh. Pernah, pas alur terakhir dari ospek jurusan saya mogok pengen pulang. Padahal saya sudah 2 bulan tinggal disini, harusnya sudah mulai terbiasa. Tapi, persyaratan + barang-barang ospeknya itu, ya allah berat banget. Kudu minjem carrierlah, bawa ini itulah. Haahh pas lagi gitu, jadi inget papah+mamah. Biasanya mereka jadi partner setia saya buat nyari barang-barang ospek. Dengan adanya mereka, jadi semangetlah saya ikut ospeknya juga. Seenggaknya ada yang merhatiin pas kita pulang ospek, nanyain tadi gimana aja? Cape engga? Tapi sekarang ga ada yang gitu.

Tapi pengalaman tiap orang pasti beda-beda. Ada yang biasa aja, tapi ga sedikit juga yang nangis-nangis. Hal ini wajar kok dialamin sama semua mahasiswa baru yang hijrah ke luar kota. Masa adaptasi dengan kehidupan yang baru tuh emang butuh proses yang lama. Biasanya butuh waktu 1 sampe 3 bulan buat kita bisa terbiasa sama kehidupan sebagai mahasiswa ini. Mulai dari meredam emosi buat ga inget rumah mulu sampe ngatur waktu + keuangan.
Jadi mahasiswa tuh, kita harus siap keluar dari zona nyaman kita. Dan yang saya rasakan, Alhamdulillah saya jadi makin dewasa. Bukannya mau nyombong ya, tapi itu yang rata-rata teman saya juga rasakan. Belum lagi, rasa makin sayang sama ortu tuh makin nambah. Makin perhatian sama keluarga. Teman-teman saya yang dulunya cuek-cuek aja sama keluarga, sekarang perhatian banget. Gak aneh sih, soalnya begitu kita tinggal jauh dari orang tua, baru deh kerasa kalau kita kehilangan mereka. Baru deh nyesel dulu kita sering bikin mereka marah n kecewa. Baru deh nyesel, kenapa dulu kita gak dekat sama mereka, terutama sama ibu kita. Dan berbagai penyesalan lainnya.
But life must go on. Jadikan rasa penyesalan itu cambukan buat kita jadi lebih baik. Dan juga jadikan rasa penyesalan itu doping semangat kita buat meraih prestasi.

Be the best!

Itu aja sih.

Commentary Writing: Betrayal by Harold Pinter

10/17/2013 06:13:00 pm 0 Comments
Every story has an ending, so has an affair. Betrayal is an epic play about love story telling backward. There are a lot of interesting things to see in this play-the performance; eventually the issue of the story which makes this play has its soul. An issue of an affair between women, who’s eventually married, with a man which is her husband’s bestfriend, where actually happens in our real life. This writing will mostly talked about the issue which is considered as the most interesting part of this play. Some of the content such as character, theme and plot will be presented as supporting idea in writing this commentary.
Betrayal is an absolutely brilliant love story which is presented backward. The characters which are presented here play the role perfectly and make this story has its soul. Starting with Emma, Robert’s wife and an owner of art gallery, her character is so much manipulative. She loves both Robert and Jerry but did not want to let one of them go. Jerry, a literary agent and Emma’s affair, he is a bestfriend of Robert. From the beginning to the end of the play, Jerry is confused of his own feeling. He did married and had an affair, but he’s fine with that. The last is Robert, a publisher, Emma’s husband and Jerry’s bestfriend. Robert is depicted as a strong man, older than Emma and Jerry, smart and bitterer. These three characters are not often in the screen together; mostly the movie is told in encounters between two of the characters.
Emma is a married women but she has an affair with her husband’s bestfriend. Let’s say that Emma is a religious person whose faith with his husband, having affair is disgraceful. Maybe, the story of “Betrayal” will have different ending, for instance Emma will be the one who will be blamed of having an affair. Evidently, there is no evidence of religion symbol presented here. We could say the main point of this issue is not for the sake of religion. If we refer back to American social life in 1980, there is a great increased influence of women. Women expanded their influence in politic, they also surpassed men in college enrollment. However, the rising divorce rate left an increasing number of women as sole breadwinners and forced more and more of them into poverty. In line with the issue of women’s affair, Emma is depicted as a traditional woman at the very last scene of the play. She’s wearing pink dresses and formal hair and it was happened 7 years before the divorced, or in other words it was happening in 1968. Two years after Emma started the affair, Emma changed her look from shy, traditional women into a shopaholic and hunting. And it’s continued until seven years later.
The structure of the scenes which is anachronological order, deliberately explore the emotions of each character in each scenes. The very first scene shows the ending of Emma and Robert relationship, Robert slapping Emma and eventually they divorced. The last scene shows Emma and Jerry first met and started the affair. Eventhough the play begins at the end and moving backward, Pinter could make an atmosphere of quite tension between Emma and Jerry, or awkward relationship between Emma and Robert. This is somehow reinforcing the issue of broken marriage between Emma and Robert, Jerry and Casey. Although the play mostly presented the joy of Emma and Jerry having an affair, we could not just make a judgment that Robert is the one who get hurt. Refer back to the power of a man in a family, Robert might be had betrayed someone. The evidence that we could see here in the play is when Robert promotes the less talented Casey at the expense of the more gifted Spinks.
Betrayal is a realistic drama that highlighted the cultural conflict in 1980s especially family life-broken marriage. Three major character of this drama are Emma, Robert and Jerry where they all relate to each other. Emma is Robert’s wife and having affair with Jerry, while Robert is Jerry’s bestfriend also. This conflict is influenced by the cultural changes in America in 1980. The increased influence of women in 1980’s and the great number of divorce are considered as the background of Emma did so.

Happy Belated Anniversary!

4/02/2013 05:29:00 pm 0 Comments
Soooooo long I haven't been here, so many stories happened in my life. Now let me pick one story about me and my love. Last March was our anniversary (Yeah I know it's April now, sigh), we celebrated our 3rd years anniversary and I couldn't believe that we've been through so far until this day. Me with him, together, my world is complete :)

For us, relationship is about take and give, about caring each other whatever happens your partners is part of your soul. And you will be empty if it's taken. A lot happens in our relationship, three years is quite a long time but I still feel that it's never enough for me to love him <3 p="">



Happy belated anniversary, dear :*

Sedih gak sih ketika si sebagian dari diri kita memilih untuk menutup diri ketika dia menghadapi persoalan? Iya. Sesak. Iya.
I always hate this situation.
Kami ini rasanya dua jiwa dalam satu raga. Rasanya.
Aku disini bukan pajangan loh. Aku disini sebagai tempatmu untuk berbagi rasa, asa dan sebagainya.
Tidak selamanya aku bisa memaklumi.
