THE HARE AND THE TORTOISE

From Aesop Fables

One morning, Hare hopped down to the lake, to rest in the warm sunshine. Other animals were already there. Fox was lying on the rocks, cleaning her soft sandy coat, and Tortoise was munching the sweet grass near the water’s edge. Hare stopped and watched them for a while.
Soon Fox yawned and drifted off to sleep, but Tortoise carried on waddling around slowly, her little pink tongue pulling in each mouthful of grass. Hare flicked his long ears and hopped over to her. Tortoise stopped chewing, and stared up at him.
“You look funny when you eat,” laughed Hare. “Your feet are short and stumpy, and you move so slowly. No wonder you spend so much time eating – it takes you forever to get enough grass.”
Tortoise just stared at him, and then started chewing again. Hare was annoyed. He wanted everyone to talk to him. He drummed one of his big feet on the ground.
“I’m the fastest animal,” he shouted. “When I run at full speed, no-one can beat me.” He looked across at Fox, who was awake again and watching carefully. “I challenge anyone to a race,” said Hare, flicking his ears proudly.
No one answered. Then Tortoise swallowed her mouthful of grass. “I accept,” she said. “Even if you are as fast as the wind, I can still beat you in a race.”
Hare laughed loudly. “I accept the challenge,” he said. Tortoise suggested that Fox should choose when they would race, where they would start and the finish point. Fox thought it was all very amusing, and suggested the day after tomorrow as race day.
When the time came, the Hare and the Tortoise lined up at the flat rock, which was Fox’s designated starting point. He told them they should go round the edge of the lake and the first one past the old fallen tree would be declared the winner. The race began.
Hare bounded off at top speed and soon rounded a bend and was out of sight. Tortoise moved at a slow, steady pace – never stopping to rest or eat. Running by the side of the lake, Hare felt the warm sun on his back and slowed a little. Then he stopped. “Umm,” he said, stretching. “It’ll take Tortoise forever to catch up. I’ve got time for a nap.” And he burrowed into the grass and dozed off.
Tortoise plodded and shuffled on, round the bend, past the sleeping Hare and on towards the finish point. By now the sun was low over the lake and evening was coming.
Hare stirred as he felt the temperature drop, then remembering the race, he leaped up and hopped off again. In the distance he saw Fox and the other animals gathered near the fallen tree finish point.
“Good. They’re waiting to cheer me when I win,” he laughed as he ran. Then he saw Tortoise on a grassy mound right next to the tree. Fox was talking to her. Hare bounded up as quickly as he could. He couldn’t believe he had lost. Fox nodded to him and asked everyone to be quiet. Then he congratulated Tortoise on winning the race. Tortoise was tired, and drifted off to sleep.
Some of the other animals crowded round Hare to ask him what happened. He should have won, shouldn’t he? His legs were much longer than tortoise’s and he’d won other races in the past. Hare was angry with himself and felt very silly.
THE END

CINDERELLA

Once there was a gentleman who married, for his second wife, the proudest and most haughty woman that was ever seen. She had, by a former husband, two daughters of her own humor, who were, indeed, exactly like her in all things. He had likewise, by another wife, a young daughter, but of unparalleled goodness and sweetness of temper, which she took from her mother, who was the best creature in the world.
No sooner were the ceremonies of the wedding over but the mother-in-law began to show herself in her true colors. She could not bear the good qualities of this pretty girl, and the less because they made her own daughters appear the more odious. She employed her in the meanest work of the house: she scoured the dishes, tables, etc., and scrubbed madam's chamber, and those of misses, her daughters; she lay up in a sorry garret, upon a wretched straw bed, while her sisters lay in fine rooms, with floors all inlaid, upon beds of the very newest fashion, and where they had looking-glasses so large that they might see themselves at their full length from head to foot.
The poor girl bore all patiently, and dared not tell her father, who would have rattled her off; for his wife governed him entirely. When she had done her work, she used to go into the chimney-corner, and sit down among cinders and ashes, which made her commonly be called Cinderwench; but the youngest, who was not so rude and uncivil as the eldest, called her Cinderella. However, Cinderella, not with standing her mean apparel, was a hundred times handsomer than her sisters, though they were always dressed very richly.
It happened that the King's son gave a ball, and invited all persons of fashion to it. Our young misses were also invited, for they cut a very grand figure among the quality. They were mightily delighted at this invitation, and wonderfully busy in choosing out such gowns, petticoats, and head-clothes as might become them. This was a new trouble to Cinderella; for it was she who ironed her sisters' linen, and plaited their ruffles; they talked all day long of nothing but how they should be dressed.
"For my part," said the eldest, "I will wear my red velvet suit with French trimming."
"And I," said the youngest, "shall have my usual petticoat; but then, to make amends for that, I will put on my gold-flowered manteau, and my diamond stomacher, which is far from being the most ordinary one in the world."
T    hey sent for the best tire-woman they could get to make up their head-dresses and adjust their double pinners, and they had their red brushes and patches from Mademoiselle de la Poche.
Cinderella was likewise called up to them to be consulted in all these matters, for she had excellent notions, and advised them always for the best, nay, and offered her services to dress their heads, which they were very willing she should do. As she was doing this, they said to her:
"Cinderella, would you not be glad to go to the ball?"
"Alas!" said she, "you only jeer me; it is not for such as I am to go thither."
"Thou art in the right of it," replied they; "it would make the people laugh to see a Cinderwench at a ball."
Anyone but Cinderella would have dressed their heads awry, but she was very good, and dressed them perfectly well They were almost two days without eating, so much were they transported with joy. They broke above a dozen laces in trying to be laced up close, that they might have a fine slender shape, and they were continually at their looking-glass. At last the happy day came; they went to Court, and Cinderella followed them with her eyes as long as she could, and when she had lost sight of them, she fell a-crying.
Her godmother, who saw her all in tears, asked her what was the matter.
"I wish I could--I wish I could--"; she was not able to speak the rest, being interrupted by her tears and sobbing.
This godmother of hers, who was a fairy, said to her, "Thou wishest thou couldst go to the ball; is it not so?"
"Y--es," cried Cinderella, with a great sigh.
"Well," said her godmother, "be but a good girl, and I will contrive that thou shalt go." Then she took her into her chamber, and said to her, "Run into the garden, and bring me a pumpkin."
Cinderella went immediately to gather the finest she could get, and brought it to her godmother, not being able to imagine how this pumpkin could make her go to the ball. Her godmother scooped out all the inside of it, having left nothing but the rind; which done, she struck it with her wand, and the pumpkin was instantly turned into a fine coach, gilded all over with gold.
She then went to look into her mouse-trap, where she found six mice, all alive, and ordered Cinderella to lift up a little the trapdoor, when, giving each mouse, as it went out, a little tap with her wand, the mouse was that moment turned into a fine horse, which altogether made a very fine set of six horses of a beautiful mouse-colored dapple-gray. Being at a loss for a coachman,

"I will go and see," says Cinderella, "if there is never a rat in the rat-trap--we may make a coachman of him."

"Thou art in the right," replied her godmother; "go and look."

Cinderella brought the trap to her, and in it there were three huge rats. The fairy made choice of one of the three which had the largest beard, and, having touched him with her wand, he was turned into a fat, jolly coach- man, who had the smartest whiskers eyes ever beheld. After that, she said to her:

"Go again into the garden, and you will find six lizards behind the watering-pot, bring them to me."
She had no sooner done so but her godmother turned them into six footmen, who skipped up immediately behind the coach, with their liveries all bedaubed with gold and silver, and clung as close behind each other as if they had done nothing else their whole lives. The Fairy then said to Cinderella: "Well, you see here an equipage fit to go to the ball with; are you not pleased with it?"
"Oh! yes," cried she; "but must I go thither as I am, in these nasty rags?"

Her godmother only just touched her with her wand, and, at the same instant, her clothes were turned into cloth of gold and silver, all beset with jewels. This done, she gave her a pair of glass slippers, the prettiest in the whole world. Being thus decked out, she got up into her coach; but her godmother, above all things, commanded her not to stay till after midnight, telling her, at the same time, that if she stayed one moment longer, the coach would be a pumpkin again, her horses mice, her coachman a rat, her footmen lizards, and her clothes become just as they were before.
She promised her godmother she would not fail of leaving the ball before midnight; and then away she drives, scarce able to contain herself for joy. The King's son who was told that a great princess, whom nobody knew, was come, ran out to receive her; he gave her his hand as she alighted out of the coach, and led her into the ball, among all the company. There was immediately a profound silence, they left off dancing, and the violins ceased to play, so attentive was everyone to contemplate the singular beauties of the unknown new-comer. Nothing was then heard but a confused noise of:

"Ha! how handsome she is! Ha! how handsome she is!"

The King himself, old as he was, could not help watching her, and telling the Queen softly that it was a long time since he had seen so beautiful and lovely a creature.

All the ladies were busied in considering her clothes and headdress, that they might have some made next day after the same pattern, provided they could meet with such fine material and as able hands to make them.

The King's son conducted her to the most honorable seat, and afterward took her out to dance with him; she danced so very gracefully that they all more and more admired her. A fine collation was served up, whereof the young prince ate not a morsel, so intently was he busied in gazing on her.

She went and sat down by her sisters, showing them a thousand civilities, giving them part of the oranges and citrons which the Prince had presented her with, which very much surprised them, for they did not know her. While Cinderella was thus amusing her sisters, she heard the clock strike eleven and three-quarters, whereupon she immediately made a courtesy to the company and hasted away as fast as she could.
When she got home she ran to seek out her godmother, and, after having thanked her, she said she could not but heartily wish she might go next day to the ball, because the King's son had desired her.

As she was eagerly telling her godmother whatever had passed at the ball, her two sisters knocked at the door, which Cinderella ran and opened.

"How long you have stayed!" cried she, gaping, rubbing her eyes and stretching herself as if she had been just waked out of her sleep; she had not, however, any manner of inclination to sleep since they went from home.

"If thou hadst been at the ball," said one of her sisters, "thou wouldst not have been tired with it. There came thither the finest princess, the most beautiful ever was seen with mortal eyes; she showed us a thousand civilities, and gave us oranges and citrons."

Cinderella seemed very indifferent in the matter; indeed, she asked them the name of that princess; but they told her they did not know it, and that the King's son was very uneasy on her account and would give all the world to know who she was. At this Cinderella, smiling, replied:

"She must, then, be very beautiful indeed; how happy you have been! Could not I see her? Ah! dear Miss Charlotte, do lend me your yellow suit of clothes which you wear every day."

"Ay, to be sure!" cried Miss Charlotte; "lend my clothes to such a dirty Cinderwench as thou art! I should be a fool."

Cinderella, indeed, expected well such answer, and was very glad of the refusal; for she would have been sadly put to it if her sister had lent her what she asked for jestingly.

The next day the two sisters were at the ball, and so was Cinderella, but dressed more magnificently than before. The King's son was always by her, and never ceased his compliments and kind speeches to her; to whom all this was so far from being tiresome that she quite forgot what her godmother had recommended to her; so that she, at last, counted the clock striking twelve when she took it to be no more than eleven; she then rose up and fled, as nimble as a deer. The Prince followed, but could not overtake her. She left behind one of her glass slippers, which the Prince took up most carefully. She got home but quite out of breath, and in her nasty old clothes, having nothing left her of all her finery but one of the little slippers, fellow to that she dropped. The guards at the palace gate were asked:

If they had not seen a princess go out.

Who said: They had seen nobody go out but a young girl, very meanly dressed, and who had more the air of a poor country wench than a gentlewoman.

When the two sisters returned from the ball Cinderella asked them: If they had been well diverted, and if the fine lady had been there.

They told her: Yes, but that she hurried away immediately when it struck twelve, and with so much haste that she dropped one of her little glass slippers, the prettiest in the world, which the King's son had taken up; that he had done nothing but look at her all the time at the ball, and that most certainly he was very much in love with the beautiful person who owned the glass slipper.

What they said was very true; for a few days after the King's son caused it to be proclaimed, by sound of trumpet, that he would marry her whose foot the slipper would just fit. They whom he employed began to try it upon the princesses, then the duchesses and all the Court, but in vain; it was brought to the two sisters, who did all they possibly could to thrust their foot into the slipper, but they could not effect it. Cinderella, who saw all this, and knew her slipper, said to them, laughing:
"Let me see if it will not fit me."

Her sisters burst out a-laughing, and began to banter her. The gentleman who was sent to try the slipper looked earnestly at Cinderella, and, finding her very handsome, said:
It was but just that she should try, and that he had orders to let everyone make trial.

He obliged Cinderella to sit down, and, putting the slipper to her foot, he found it went on very easily, and fitted her as if it had been made of wax. The astonishment her two sisters were in was excessively great, but still abundantly greater when Cinderella pulled out of her pocket the other slipper, and put it on her foot. Thereupon, in came her godmother, who, having touched with her wand Cinderella's clothes, made them richer and more magnificent than any of those she had before.

And now her two sisters found her to be that fine, beautiful lady whom they had seen at the ball. They threw themselves at her feet to beg pardon for all the ill- treatment they had made her undergo. Cinderella took them up, and, as she embraced them, cried:

That she forgave them with all her heart, and desired them always to love her.

She was conducted to the young prince, dressed as she was; he thought her more charming than ever, and, a few days after, married her. Cinderella, who was no less good than beautiful, gave her two sisters lodgings in the palace.

SISTEM JARINGAN KOMPUTER

Pengertian Jaringan Komputer

Sekelompok hardware seperti PC, Printer, dan peralatan lain yang terhubung satu sama lain dan masing-masing terjadi interaksi komunikasi.

Konfigurasi Jaringan
1. Peer to peer
Konfigurasi ini biasanya melibatkan kurang dari 10 komputer (station). Jaringan komputer dengan konfigurasi peer-to-peer konsep security tidak diutamakan, karena setiap komputer (station) memiliki posisi yang sama dalam berkomunikasi. Dalam konfigurasi ini setiap komputer bisa saling bagi-pakai (share) sumber daya, seperti file-file pengolah kata, spreadsheet, printer, CD-ROM drive, scanner, dan lain-lain tanpa perlu ada konsep restrict security

2. Client/Server
Konfigurasi client/server lebih cocok untuk jaringan skala besar. Dalam konfigurasi ini terdapat satu komputer sebagai pusat kendali yang disebut dengan Server. Server bisa bertindak sebagai pusat penyimpan data, shared application central, dan lain-lain. Umumnya spesifikasi server lebih tinggi, karena server mengendalikan akses komputer lain dalam jaringan yang disebut Client. Biasanya guru dan siswa bekerja pada komputer client, sedangkan pengelolaan/akses server biasanya ditunjuk staff khusus.

Perbedaan antara Peer to Peer dan Client/Server

  

 Jenis Jaringan

a. Berdasarkan letak

b. Berdasar Media Transmisi

   1. Jenis Jaringan Kabel, contoh : LAN

   2. Jenis Wireless (nirkabel)

WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network)
Prinsipnya sama dengan LAN, tetapi modium tranformasi data berbeda. Jika LAN menggunakan medium kabel, tetapi WLAN menggunakan medium gelombang elektromagnetik.

belanja

 

Belanja adalah suatu kegiatan manusia sebagai makhluk konsumtif. Mungkin tak pernah ada seseorang yang selama hidupnya tak pernah berbelanja. Dari petani sampai seorang pemilik Negara pernah berbelanja. Dari bahan makanan yang bersifat pokok sampai gadget yang terus berkembang dapat menjadi barang belanjaan. Kegiatan belanja bisa dilakukan dimana saja, tak peduli pasar sampai internet pun dapat dijadikan tempat belanja..

Sebagian besar wanita tak menolak saat dirinya diajak berbelanja. Alasannya tak lain, mereka jenuh melakukan kegiatan yang biasa mereka kerjakan. Terkadang, mereka juga tak punya list belanjaan, karena memang mereka tak ingin membeli apapun. Selain berbelanja di suatu tempat sekaligus cuci mata, ada cara belanja yang tak membuat kita capai berjalan, yaitu belanja menggunakan suatu katalog ataupun lewat internet. Matapun dapat dicuci dengan barang barang yang terrsedia… Sebagian dari mereka cukup puas berbelanja lewat katalog atau internet, tetapi bagi beberapa orang lain menganggap tak lega jika tak melihat barangnya secara langsung (istilah jawanya gak lego).

Penghasilan seseorang dapat mempengaruhi intensitas dia melakukan kegiatan belanja. Semakin banyak penghasilan seseorang, maka intensitas belanjanyapun semakin besar. Contohnya, seseorang yang keuangannya berlebih, akan lebih banyak berbelanja karena memang sifat manusia yang tak pernah merasa cukup dan kebutuhan yang selalu berkembang. Atau saat berlebaran, karena seseorang mendapat beberapa tambahan atau bonus Hari Raya, dia akan membelanjakan uangnya meskipun nanti, antara pendapatan dan pengeluaran akan tak seimbang…

Jarak antara rumah dan tempat perbelanjaan pun juga mempengaruhi intensitas seseorang berbelanja. Semakin dekat jarak tempat perbelanjaan dengan rumah akan semakin sering seseorang berbelanja. Ini dikarenakan seseorang yang menganggap remeh akan taka pa jika bolak balik belanja sesuatu yang bisa dilakukan sekaligus. Hal ini tak baik dilakukan, karena akan membuang waktu di perjalanan dan tak menghemat bahan bakar jika menggunakan kendaraan bermotor.

Sebagai Negara berkembang, masyarakat sudah berkembang dan mulai berubah dari makhluk produktif menjadi makhluk konsumtif. Ini dapat dilihat dari banyaknya kegiatan import daripada kegiatan eksport yang dilakukan Negara kita. Dari aksesoris yang bahannya mudah didapat di dalam negeri sampai sapi sebagai hewan ternak yang bisa dikembangkan di negeri ini. seharusnya, kita tak boleh terlena dan membuat prinsip semua tersedia jika dengan uang tanpa kita berusaha menciptakan sesuatu yang dapat bermanfaat bagi diri sendiri, keluarga, lingkungan sekitar, Negara dan bangsa. Dan tersimpulkan bahwa belanja sudah menjadi hobi bagi sebagian orang.

Terkadang kita tak memikirkan apa yang terjadi setelah kita membelanjakan uang kita. Rasa senang yang diberikan saat kita mencari barang di tempat perbelanjaan akan hilang saat kita mengetahui jumlah harga belanjaan kita di kasir. Dan dengan terpaksa kita membayarnya karena tak mungkin barang belanjaan kita kembalikan. Saat uang dalam dompet kita tak cukup, kita akan terdorong membayarnya dengan kartu kredit. Agar tak terjadi hal seperti itu, terdapat tips untuk anda yang mungkin dapat anda praktekkan saat anda berbelanja:

1. Siapkan list belanjaan anda dan sesuaikan dengan keadaan keuangan dan kebutuhan anda.
2. Memilih tempat perbelanjaan yang menyediakan diskon yang dapat menghemat uang anda.
3. Fokus pada apa yang anda butuhkan, tutup mata pada segala barang yang lucu tapi kurang ada manfaat bagi anda.
4. Sambil mencari barang yang anda butuhkan, siapkan calculator untuk menghitung berapa uang yang harus anda bayarkan, agar anda tak terkejut saat di kasir dan kemungkinan anda dapat meminimalkan belanjaan anda.
5. Kurangi penggunaan credit card anda.




Semoga dapat bermanfaat bagi anda :)

Setelah berbuka, orang-orang ini tetap tinggal dirumah saya untuk berbincang apapun yang bisa dibahas, dari masalah pribadi tentang keluarganya, tentang kehidupan selebritis, sampai politik. Lengkap pokoknya.. ckckck, orang dewasa ini..

Jumat, 26 Agustus 2011
Seperti hari-hari biasa, harus bangun, sahur, sholat subuh… Handphone berdering, biasalah kukira ucapan selamat sahur dari seorang teman yang kurang kerjaan, ternyata sms dari b. ria, guru pembimbing matematikaku. Jarang sekali beliau sms. Kubuka, tak menyangka yang akan kubaca, ternyata berita duka dari guru pembimbing biologi kami tercinta, B. indah Fitriani yang pada hari kamis lalu dipanggil oleh Yang Maha Kuasa. Sontak terkkejut seketika, dalam hati berkata tak mungkin secepat ini beliau dipanggil, beliau baru saja menikah dan sedang hamil.. (tak bisa aku berbuat apa-apa #penyakit lama=gak punya pulsa..) hanya menunggu sms dari teman yang akan menceritakan bagaimana kronologisnya… ternyata beliau meninggal dunia karena terjadi pendarahan saat melahirkan putranya dan insyaAllah beliau meninggal khusnul khotimah.. Amin.. sampai akan tidur, tak pernah berhenti berpikir “mengapa secepat itu” dan membuat mood saya jadi tak baik.. tapi itulah takdir Allah yang telah ditiupkan sejak masih dalam kandungan. Berikanlah hambamu ini akhir yang khusnul Khotimah ya allah…

Sabtu, 27 Agustus 2011
Akhir pekan yang tak berasa hingga tak tahu ini hari apa.. dan masih dalam keadaan berduka, dari pagi sampai siang aku tak melakukan apapun dirumah, hanya berbaring saja di tempat tidur atau sofa ruang tamu, lagipula aku juga tak boleh melakukan ibadah sholat dan puasa.. sampai saatnya aku memutuskan tak terlalu terlarut dalam duka tersebut, kuambil tugas-tugasku yang menumpuk dan mungkin berdebu untuk kukerjakan.. semua ku list agar tak ada yang tertinggal meskipun aku kesulitan mengerjakannya. Harus semangat!!

Minggu, 28 Agustus 2011
Demi membalas perbuatanku yang kemarin malas-malasan, pekerjaan rumah akan kuselesaikan pagi ini, tekadku.. masih dingin, menyiram tanamanpun kulakukan dengan senyum ceria dan sedikit kecut, karena rasanya tanganku akan membeku.. haha #lebay.. setelah semua bunga minum (kukira) ku tinggal semuanya basah. Tak ada kegiatan lagi yang ingin dikerjakan, kupilih kegiatan yang paling membuang waktu kita, yaitu tidur. Tak lama tertidur, ternyata sudah sangat terik diluar, bingung mau berbuat apa, nyalakan televise saja.. tetep nonton episode selanjutnya film korea… tak ada kegiatan lagi setelah itu, tak tahu apa yang dilakukan saat itu, yang pasti tak mengesankan sehingga tak dapat diingat… :p


Senin, 29 Agustus 2011
Besok lebaran (kukira), baru kali ini terasa sedih ditinggal bulan ramadhan.. karena kita tak kan tahu bahwa akankah kita dapat bertemu lagi dengan bulan yang penuh rahmat ini atau tidak… karena ada kebiasaan dalam keluarga kami berbuka bersama dengan keluarga pada malam takbiran, kami semua berkumpul di rumah orangtua ibuku untuk berbuka bersama sambil menunggu sidang itsbat yang membahas kapan datangnya 1 syawal tahun ini… semua optimis besok akan berlebaran, tetapi ternyata sekitar pukul 8 pm terdapat pengumuman bahwa 1 syawal jatuh pada hari rabu… dengan keputusan tersebut dengan sangat terpaksa, aku dan keluargaku akan berlebaran di kampung halaman ayah… yah jadi gak bisa makan ketupat deh… #gak popo, sehat… haha

Selasa, 30 Agustus 2011
Masih puasa, tinggal sehari tok… yeee… :D. Karena hari ini harus mudik, jadi semua keluargaku melakukan kerja bakti, bersih bersih rumah.. Sekitar jam 2 siang, kami berangkat menuju stasiun kota Malang. Buka puasa datang saat kami berada di Kota Blitar. Sambil berbuka puasa terdengar suara takbir bersautan saat kami melewati daerah penduduk. Dan tak ketinggalan letusan kembang api yang memeriahkan malam takbiran… dalam hatiku, tak berpengaruhkah letusan kembang api pada udara, atmosfer ataupun makhluk hidup lain. Karena pernah kudengar dari televisi, di suatu Negara pernah terjadi kematian massal burung, sejenis burung gereja karena pada malam sebelum kejadian tersebut terdapat pesta kembang api. Mengapa hal itu tak terjadi di Indonesia ya, agar tak ada lagi yang menyalakan kembang api.. :p. kami datang di stasiun madiun sekitar jam setengah Sembilan, dan menurutku stasiun kota madiun terlihat sangat rapid an lebih indah dari stasiun kota malang…

Rabu, 31 Agustus 2011
Horee, lebaran :D… tapi sayangnya, aku tak bisa mengerjakan ibadah sholat ied. Karena itu aku ditinggal sendirian di rumah. Setelah sholat ied kami mengadakan sungkeman untuk bermaafan pada sesama anggota keluarga. Lalu kami berkeliling untuk sekedar berjabat tangan dan bermaafan. Sebelum pukul 9 am, kami telah kembali ke rumah eyang untuk menemui tamu yang kiranya mendatangi eyang. Sambil menunggu itu, ternyata di sebuah stasiun televise, tersiar film Detective conan yang sudah lama tak muncul setelah beberapa tahun lalu. Senangnya :D… aku membuat perjanjian dengan orang tuaku, aku akan ikut silaturrahmi setelah tamat menonton film itu, perjanjianpun sukses :D #hehe…. Setelah film selesai, kami melanjutkan lagi silaturrahmike saudara eyang kakung atau eyang putri, yang jaraknya taka da yang dekat… tapi taka pa, semua itu ibadahkan …


Kamis, 1 September 2011
H+1 lebaran,taka da yang berkesan sampai sekitar pukul 10.30 am, kami akan kembali ke kota kami tercinta #haha… ku kira akan sepi semua kendaraan umumnya, ternyata salah. Semua bus penuh kea rah tujuan Surabaya, ckckck… taka pa lah demi cepat kembali. Memilih bus yang sekiranya sepipun tak bisa. Setelah naik ke bus, kami semua tak mendapatkan tempat duduk, jadi terpaksa, kami semua berdiri kirakira selama 2-4 jam. Karena kami dapat duduk setelah berada di Kertasana, itupun hanya beberapa menit kami duduk, karena setelah itu kami harus turun dan berganti bus mini. Jalanan padat lancar, sehingga tak terlalu lelah. Macet yang panjang terjadi di daerah Batu kea rah Malang. Semua kendaraan hanya mampu merayap. Kecepatannyapun tak secepat orang berjalan. Perkiraan pukul 4pm datangpun musnah, karena sekitar pukul 6pm kami semua masih berada di Pujon. Akhirnya, kami datang sekitar jam setengah Sembilan di rumah dengan selamat… :D

Sabtu, 2 September 2011
Sejak pagi kami telah bersiap untuk melanjutkan silaturrahmi ke sanak saudara. Karena aku sudah besar, sudah tak kuharapkan lagi mendapat angpao, tetapi rezeki itu datang saja. Sudah besar ini, masih saja diberi angpao #yee, hehe :D… sampai pada pukul 11.45am kami pulang dulu untuk beristirahat dan sholat. Silaturrahmi akan dilanjutkan setelah ashar. Sambil berristirahat, tak lupa lihat sinema korea yang ceritanya semakin seru :D… setelah sholat ashar, silaturrahmi dilanjutkan lagi ke saudara yang tak sempat dikunjungi tadi. Sekitar pukul 6pm, kami semua sudah berada di rumah. Hanya tinggal capek yang terasa dan tak lupa angpao nya #hehe :D

Minggu, 3 September 2011
H+3. Pagi taka da yang kulakukan, tapi harusnya melakukan kegiatan bersih bersih rumah… ku kerjakan dengan sedikit muka kecut. Karena rasanya hari ini sangat lelah setelah kemarin berkeliling untuk bersilaturrahmi ke sanak saudara. Setelah semua pekerjaan selesai, kami pergi ke rumah orangtua ibu kami, untuk menengok tante yang baru pulang dari mudiknya… malam ini aku tk bisa tidur karena merasa belum menyelesaikan tugas sama sekali, ditemani sebotol air minum, tanpa camilan! #hehe aku melewati malam panjang bersama tugasku yang menumpuk itu. Sampai pada pukul 2.30 am, mata terasa lelah dan badan tak berdaya lagi untuk dapat mengerjakan tugas… dan akhirnya tertidurlah aku… #capek

Senin, 4 September 2011
Aku bangun siang… #mau jadi apa? Perempuan kok bangun siang = biasa yang dikatakan orangtua. Terasa remuk semua badanku. Sekitar jam setengah Sembilan aku dan ibuku bersilaturrahmi ke rumah teman beliau, dan pukul 9 am, kami sudah berada di rumah lagi. Tak ada kegiatan luar biasa lagi yang ku kerjakan.. sampai pukul 12pm, aku menonton film korea yang memang selalu bikin penasaran #hoho…. Sampai kemudian beberapa tamu datang bersilaturrahmi. Hari ini tamu kami cukup banyak, semoga mereka membawa berkah bagi kami semua … hari ini juga, seharusnya aku berniat tidur larut lagi (istilahnya nglembur #hehe) tapi apa daya, mataku tak bisa kompromi. Aku mulai terlelap sekitar jam Sembilan kurang
