My Evelyn

Seperti biasa rutinitas di pagi hari bangun pagi , kalau kepagian berarti masih sempat lari pagi ke monas , tapi kalau udah ngak sempat yah bangun , siapin sarapan buat anak2 and hubby terus kalau masih keburu masak buat lunch anak2 tapi biasa suka ngak keburu habis bangunnya agak2 susah akhir akhir ini krn tidurnya agak malam gara gara nonton DVD so salah siapa huhhuhu habis kalau udah nonton ngak bisa stop dan kebagian nontonnya jam 9 malam kalau sebelum jam 9 malam mah jatahnya anak2 nonton film mereka , kalau udah jam 9 juga suka berebutan sama hubby , hubby sukanya nonton film dia dan gw ngotot mau nonton film gw biasanya kalau ngak serial korea, film horor atau baru beli lagi yg baru kemarin serial Sex & the City.
Ngomong2 Sex & the City ini , gw ngak pernah nonton tapi teman gw si Bakung tuh suka cerita kalau film itu bagus banget dan sangat mengangkat derajat wanita , akhirnya yah udah pas malam mingguan ke M2 Square kemarin , gw liat yah gw beli . jadi tambah lagi deh film serial yang gw beli tapi belum sempat nonton *sigh*
Makanya krn jatah nonton gw diatas jam 9 malam dan kalau udah nonton ngak bisa stop jadi suka bangun kesiangan , jadi biasa yg masak yah my Mom.
terus udah gitu buru buru mandi dan anterin anak2 ke sekolah baru gw ke kantor , jadilah gw orang yg datang ke kantor paling pagi , kalau dulu mah gw adalah orang yg paling telat ke kantor , ngantornya diatas jam 9 , mungkin boss cuma bisa geleng2 , mokal kali sama gw tapi akhirnya yah skr gw yg paling pagi dan pulang jg paling malam bukan krn gw rajin xixi tapi krn gw nunggu hubby jemput gw dan krn jam kantor gw jam.17.30 kadang kalau lagi seru si boss belum pulang , terpaksa sbg sekretaris yg baik gw harus tunggu jadi kadang bisa sampai jam 7 malam dan jadinya hubby suka pulang kerumah dulu , makan,mandi dan baru jemput gw sama anak2 .
Biasa kalau mereka jemput gw di kantor wah berisik banget , kadang gw liat alis mata boss udah terangkat , cepet cepet gw ungsiin anak2 ke ruang yang aman dan buru2 beberes dan lgs kaburrr....
Tapi seneng banget kalau dijemput anak2 , si Evelyn biasa bawa2 tas nya yg isinya gambar2 bunga dia utk gw , ahh senengnya , semua kertas gw simpan , dia suka bikin gambar bunga yang banyak , atau gambar matahari , atau gambar orang utk gw dan dia akan berceloteh , "ini aku bikinin lagi yah utk teman mami di kantor" dan dibuatlah gambar yang banyak sampai berantakan .
Oh yah kemarin dia ulangan dapat 100 lagi , dan skr dia udah lancar membaca , tidak bikin gw stress lagi.xixi jadi dia udah bisa baca 4 huruf spt baca, bobo, cabe, buku, dll
untunglah Evelyn termasuk typical anak yang mau belajar sendiri , jadi gw ngak terlalu pusing , tp kalau Celine ngak begitu , gw ngak tau nanti kalau dia naik ke TKA apa bisa dia ikutin pelajaran ? kalau kita ajarin nulis , dia akan lebih sok tau lagi ngak mau nulis dan malah dia yang ngajarin kita *sigh*
Kembali ke Evelyn , dia memang hobi belajar sesuatu yang baru spt contoh waktu di Lembang dia sempat kenalan dgn anak bombay dan diajak ngomong bahasa inggris sama anak bombay tsb , krn belum terlalu ngerti jadi dia senyum2 aja... nah habis dari kolam renang balik ke kamar hotel , dia terus mencecer gw dgn pertanyaan "kalau mau bilang nama saya Evelyn dalam bhs inggris apa Mi"? , kalau mau bilang begini .. begitu ... dalam bhs inggris apa ?
jadi intinya tuh dia suka mempelajari hal hal baru , tiap hari kalau sepulang sekolah , dia akan buka sepatu sendiri , cuci tangan , taruh tas nya dan mulai ngambil buku tulis nya ,krn gw tau dia hobby nulis jadi gw suka beli buku tulis utk dia buat dicoret2 , dan dia akan nulis sendiri , bikin soal berhitung sendiri , bikin sendiri dan diponten sendiri sama Evelyn . kalau sudah capek menulis , dia akan nonton film sendiri , minum buah sendiri , pokoknya dia tidak merepotkan orang , dia anak yang mandiri , makan jg sendiri dan kadang minta tambah. kebalikan dari Celine , kalau makan tuh maunya disuapind dan mondar mandir terus ngak bisa diem , makan bisa diemut sampai 1 jam .
tapi pas kemarin lebaran ngada si BS , gw suruh duduk di meja , makan sendiri dan ngada acara emut yak, Celine cuma manggut2 dan memang makan sendiri dan herannya selama ngada BS kemarin ini makannya top abiis , cepet dan ngak diemut , tapi pas hari si suster balik , malamnya kumat lagi deh , dia mulai mondar mandir kedepan ke blk sambil ngemut * sigh* yang salah siapa yak , si suster yg manjain atau tuh anak yang udah tau orang .
entahlah yg penting kalau sama gw asal ngak begitu , gw paling malas kalau pbt pulkam tuh acara kasih makan ke celine , krn keingat waktu dia umur 2th tuh pas masa2 makannya susah huuuhhh sengsara musti rame kasih makannya , musti setel lagu , musti tunggu iklan yg dia suka , jadi pas dia meleng , lgs gw kasih sesuap , sesuap , dia ngak ngeh tapi begitu iklan habis , dia menolak dan lari lagi wah cape banget dulu kalau kasih makan celine , musti bawa ke luar dan kita nya musti rame , itu ada burung , itu ada apa , pas dia meleng , lgs suapin hap hap hap
Untung skr ngak terlalu susah lagi .

Film serial terakhir yang gw tonton yah "Desperate Housewife" bagus banget ceritanya , ngak boong daripada capek capek nonton di Indosiar tiap jam 11 malam terkantuk kantuk , mending juga beli DVD serial nya langsung , dijamin ngak bakal mau putus dan lanjut terus xixixi
Eniwei film itu bagus banget , menceritakan sisi kehidupan dari ibu rumah tangga , mulai dari cara mereka merawat anak , sampai kehidupan suami istri mereka yg ternyata tidak jauh beda dgn kehidupan kita , yg mana didalamnya ada juga cemburu , model cemburunya juga sama dgn kita kita xixixi itu kalau ada yang suka cemburu sama suami yach .

Nice to Read

TRUST

TRUST is a very important factor for all relationships. When trust is broken, it is the end of the relationship. Lack of trust leads to suspicion, suspicion generates anger, anger causes enmity and enmity may result in separation. A telephone operator told me that one day she received a phone call. She answered, "Public Utilities Board." There was silence. She repeated, "PUB." There was still no answer. When she was goi! ng to cut off the line, she Heard a lady's voice, "Oh, so this is PUB. Sorry, I got the number from my Husband's pocket but I do not know whose number it is." Without mutual trust, just imagine what w ill happen to the couple if the telephone operator answered with just "hello" instead of "PUB".

NO POINTING FINGERS

A man asked his father-in-law, "Many people praised you for a successful marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?" The father-in-law answered in a smile, "Never criticize your wife for her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better husband than you." We all look forward to being loved and respected. Many people are afraid of losing face. Generally, when a person makes a mistake, he would look around to find a scapegoat to point the finger at. This is the start of a war. We should always remember that when we point one finger at a person, the other four fingers are pointing at ourselves. If we forgive the others, others will ignore our mistake too.

CREATING PERFECT RELATIONSHIPS

A person visited the government matchmaker for marriage, SDU, and requested "I am looking for a spouse. Please help me to find a suitable one." The SDU offi cer said, "Your requirements, please." "Oh, good looking, polite, humorous, sporty, knowledgeable, good in singing and dancing. Willing to accompany me the whole day at home during my leisure hour, if I don't go out. Telling me interesting stories when I need companion for conversation and be silent when I want to rest." The officer listened carefully and replied, "I understand you need television." There is a saying that a perfect match can only be found between a blind wife and a deaf husband ,because the blind wife cannot see the faults of the husband and the deaf husband cannot hear the! nagging of the wife. Many couples are blind and deaf at the courting stage and dream of perpetual perfect relationship. Unfortunately, when the excitement of love wears off, they wake up and discover that marriage is not a bed of roses. The nightmare begins.

NO OVERPOWERING

Many relationships fail because one party tries to overpower another,or demands too much. People in love tend to think that love will conquer all and their spouses will change the bad habits after marriage. Actually, this is not the case. There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "It is easier to reshape a mountain or a river than a person's character." It is not easy to change. Thus, having high expectation on changing the spouse character will cause disappointment and unpleasantness. It would be less painful to change ourselves and lower our expectations..

RIGHT SPEECH

There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation." Many relationships break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other,we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party. A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted,"Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school." On the way home, her millio! naire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me.Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker." She answered, "You should appreciate that you married me. Otherwise, he will be the millionaire and not you." Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship. It's like a broken egg - cannot be reversed.

PERSONAL PERCEPTION

Different people have different perception. One man's meat could be another man's poison. A couple bought a donkey from the market. On the way home,a boy commented, "Very stupid. Why neither of them ride on the donkey?" Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey. He walked besides them. Later, an old man saw it and commented, "The husband is the head of family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on foot?" Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey. Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, "How can the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman." The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey. Then, they met a young man. He commented, "Poor donkey, how can you hold up the weig! ht of two persons. They are cruel to you." Hearing that, the husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on their shoulders. It seems to be the only choice left. Later, on a narrow bridge, the donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell into the river. You can never have everyone praise you, nor will everyone condemn you. Never in the past, not at present, and never will be in the future. Thus, do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is clear..

BE PATIENT

This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital. Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, " Daddy,I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked, "but when are my fi! ngers going to grow back?" The father went home & committed suicide. Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u wish to take revenge. Think first before u lose your patience with someone u love. Trucks can be repaired.. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge. People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.

Lembang

Tgl 4 November kami berangkat ke lembang , pagi2 jam 5 pagi sudah bangun untuk segera beberes , Mom pagi2 mengoreng daging empal utk bekal perjalanan nanti sementara gw segera beberes , maklum kita akan bepergian beberapa hari , dan dirumah ngada orang so I have to make sure everything under control , Setelah semua selesai maka berangkatlah kami , sementara Evelyn dan Celine yang masih tidur tadi jam 6 sudah dikasih susu dan pas mau jalan tinggal diangkut , tapi untunglah Evelyn begitu tau mau ke lembang sudah semangat dan keukeuh bawa tas kopernya sendiri , yah sudah gw biarkan saja krn dari kemarin dia sudah bangga dengan kopernya tsb dan mengisinya dengan buku gambar dan pensil warna , baju dinginnya dan bonekanya .
Pas jam 7 kurang kami sudah meluncur di jalan toll , udara cerah bahkan terkesan terik sementara mobil2 sudah mulai banyak shg perjalanan padat merayap , jam 11 an kami berhenti utk makan di Sindang Reret , tempatnya bagus , outing nya juga bagus , mungkin next time gw akan mencoba tempat ini , ada tempat utk permainan paint ball , flying fox , dan tempat main anak2nya juga banyak , udaranya sejuk sementara makan disekeliling banyak kolam ikan dimana kita bisa melempar makanan utk ikan2 tsb , wah Evelyn dan Celine semangat sekali , nyaris semua makanannya tidak dimakan tapi malah dikasih ke ikan2 tsb .
Makanannya enak dan murah , kami pesan ikan nila bakar kecap , sate ayam, tumis kangkung,lalapan, dan nasi . Semuanya tidak sampai Rp.100.000,- wah kalau di jakarta mah pesan segitu bisa lebih dari 100.000,- pdhl ikan nila bakarnya beratnya 4 ons lumayan besar dan dagingnya banyak lagi. Ngak rugi ..ngak rugi makan disini , enak dan murah , recommended deh kalau mau makan di Sindang Reret .

Ngak lama kami melanjutkan perjalananan , capek dan ngantuk , udah pada teler semua , Mom dan Evelyn udah tidur , sementara Celine dipangku juga tidur , tinggal pinggang gw yang pegal2 , mau patah rasanya huuuhhuu Tapi akhirnya sampai juga , ngak sia sia deh , hilang semua capek begitu masuk ke hotel Grand Lembang , not bad , udara dingin dan sejuk .

Setelah cek in , kami jalan jalan disekitar kolam renang , krn sudah sore maka airnya dingin sekali jadi akhirnya diputuskan besok baru berenang , Evelyn sudah tidak sabar , dia sudah bawa bola dan ban renang nya hehehe sementara Celine mah cuek aja .

Yah pokoknya kita tuh selama disana happy banget , ngak kecewa , udaranya dingin kalau malam , dan bisa menikmati sajian live musik di kolam renang sambil minum kopi ahhh enaknya , suasana nya damai dan tenang yg ngak akan kita rasakan kalau di Jakarta yg hiruk pikuk dan padat , tapi disini kita bisa merasa dekat dgn alam yg hening ...

But most important is Mom very happy and enjoy dengan semuanya , yah mom paling sayang dgn Evelyn jadi dia selalu suka dan enjoy banget , tidur pun maunya dgn Evelyn xixi lebih sayang cucu neh daripada anaknya .
