deo's first trophy
Sunday, May 23, 2010
this is another story of deo :)deo always loves drawing and coloring
each time he gets a pencil, he will intuitively draw a car!
a 2D car, so it has only two wheels :)
he will color the whole object in one color, body of the car, the lamps, the wheels are in the same color!
crayons and pencil colors are his powerful tools.
recently, he learns to draw an airplane,
still in 2D form but from bird-eyes view :)
one higher skill he got is he could give more colors on the object
so the body of the plane, the wings, and the small wheels are colorful now
on 24 january 2010, deo participated in a painting competition organized by his school
the theme was: “Painting with Mommy”...
it was focused on how cooperative the children and mom when they work together
creativity was valued as additional point
it was deo’s first experience in painting
he never touched any painting tools previously
i had to show him how to mix the colors, added some water, then started to paint
he learned very quickly!
he mixed the colors and painted some abstract ornaments (i prefer to call it “abstract” rather than “unclear” :))
but to my eyes they just looked like knick-knacks
my only help was making sketch of a car and guiding him to color it
that’s all
at the end, teachers announced the winners
out of the blue, deo became the first winner from playgroup A and playgroup B levels
my husband, who was accompanying us at the moment, and i were so-so-so proud!
if you visit deo at home, don’t be surprised if he eventually shows you his first trophy,
proudly of course! :)

Morning conversation with Deo
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
Sudah beberapa minggu ini, setiap bangun pagi sebelum berdoa, saya ajak Deo (21 mos) ngobrol-ngobrol. Kira-kira seperti inilah obrolan kami:
Saya (S): Deo gimana tidurnya? Enak ga?
Deo (D): Iyah... {sambil ngucek-ngucek matanya}
S: Deo bangun gini ga cari Papa?
D: Ndak...
S: Emang Papa dimana sih?
D: Itayi... (Italy)
S: Oh gitu. Papa ke Italy naek apa?
D: Nae pecawak (naik pesawat)
S: Deo mau ikut juga?
D: Iyah...
S: Deo naik apa dong ke Italy?
D: Nae taci... (naik taxi)
S: Loh, kok taxi... Entar ga sampe2 dong kalo pake taxi. Naik pesawat aja ya?
D: Ndak, Deo... taci aja... (Deo naik taxi ajah)
S: Ya udah. Mau pake taxi apa?
D: Taci biyu... (taxi biru aka Bluebird :))
S: Loh, bukan yang merah ya?
D: Miyah... Papa, miyah... Papa (kalo merah itu mobil Papa)
Saya selalu berusaha untuk membuat Deo ingat akan Papanya. Orang-orang di rumah juga saya beritahu supaya Deo selalu diajak ngobrol tentang Papanya. Foto Papanya juga sering kami perlihatkan. Mudah-mudahan Deo bisa tetap ingat sampe tiba saatnya dia bertemu lagi dengan Papanya :)

Pelayan di Kantin Kampus yang Kasar dan Tidak Sopan
Tuesday, March 31, 2009
Hari ini saya tidak bawa bekal dari rumah.
Jam 12.30 perut sudah mulai lapar.
Tapi karena saya masih menyelesaikan satu pekerjaan yang lagi tanggung, jadi saya tahan laparnya.
Jam 13.00 perut makin lapar, kepala mulai pusing.
Maka saya pun turun ke bawah, ke kantin.
Rencananya saya mau bungkus makan saja untuk saya bawa ke ruangan.
Maksudnya mau makan sambil melanjutkan kerjaan.
Tiba di kantin, antrian panjang sekali.
Seperti rel kereta api.
Sebenarnya saya bisa saja ambil "jalur khusus" supaya tidak perlu berdesakan dengan mahasiswa.
Tapi saya tidak mau begitu.
Jadi saya pun ikutan antri.
Bebek saja bisa antri, masa saya ga bisa? :D
Waktu tiba giliran saya, saya bilang ke seorang ibu di kantin kalau saya mau dibungkuskan.
Si ibu cuman lewat aja sambil bilang supaya saya minta ke (pelayan) yang lain saja.
Oke, saya tunggu sampai ada pelayan yang free.
Waktu saya lihat ada mba yang lagi free, saya kembali minta dibungkuskan.
Si mba cuek saja, dia malah mengambil sendok dan melayani mahasiswa di belakang saya.
Loh, kok saya dilewatin ya.
Mulailah saya merasa "panas".
Tapi saya coba untuk menahan diri, meski perut makin perih dan kepala nyut-nyutan.
Saya panggil lagi mba-nya dan bilang kalo saya mau bungkus.
Akhirnya si mba "mudeng" juga.
Dia ambil selembar kertas coklat pembungkus makanan.
Horeee, akhirnya saya diladeni juga, begitu pikir saya.
Tapi ternyata kertas itu malah dilemparkan ke saya.
Sekali lagi: DILEMPARKAN.
Saya: Mba, saya ini mau bungkus makan...
Si mba: Iya, itu kan sudah ada kertasnya. Nasinya ada di situ (katanya sambil menunjuk ke pojok), bungkus sendiri kan bisa toh...
Saya: Ya, bisa sih. Tapi kan biasanya kalo bungkus emang dibungkusin sama mba2 di sini. Lagian, saya mau pesen ayam penyet. Kan ada di dalam, ga bisa ngambil dari sini.
(Bukannya mau sok dilayani, tapi biasanya kalo pesen makan bungkus, ya emang dibungkusin sama pelayannya. Dimana-mana juga begitu, kan?)
Si mba: Iyaaa, tu nasinya kan sudah ada, tinggal disendok aja baru dibungkus. Masa ga bisa sih?
Kemudian dia melengos pergi...
Perut lapar, kepala pusing, dapat perlakuan kasar dan ga sopan lagi.
Beberapa mahasiswa yang antri di depan dan di belakang saya melihat kejadian itu.
Kalau ga ingat sopan santun yang sudah diajarkan oleh orang tua, rasanya mau tak lempar sepatu si mba itu.
Saya tidak mengharapkan dilayani seperti raja.
Saya hanya ingin, si mba itu menjalankan tugasnya dengan baik.
Tugas dia di situ kan untuk melayani, tapi ternyata dia tidak melakukan bagiannya dengan baik.
Kalo mahasiswa ganteng aja, baru mau dia layani.
Dasar pelayan ganjen.
Maaf, kalau ada kata-kata yang kurang berkenan.
Saya memang benar-benar kesal sama si mba itu.
Duh, Tuhan, ampuni saya...

Please keep praying for Deo
Tuesday, March 10, 2009
some of you might have known
last wednesday, on the 3rd of march
my 18 mos son was taken to hospital
due to high fever that made him unconscious
doctor initially diagnosed he got Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF)
*atau Demam Berdarah (DB)
but three days ago the diagnosis turn to be typhus
and yesterday doctor said that he probably got the meningitis symptoms
my son is still lying on the bed in hospital
every morning his blood is taken
four times a day he gets injection for some antibiotics
and his infuse has to be replaced almost in every three days
yes, his physical is ill
but the sadden thing is
he becomes traumatic each time he sees
all the uniformed nurses
and the medical stuffs
he often wakes up in the night
screaming and crying out
not for the pain
but for the fears he feels deep inside
my tears, my prayers
seem to be nothing compared to his sufferings
i tried to negotiate with GOD
if it's possible
*and i believe that nothing is impossible for Him
i would take over all my son's sufferings
children shouldn't be hurt
neither by injection nor by other medical treatment
GOD has designed children
to be our little angel
to be an apple of our eyes
to cheerful our days
they are created to be happy
i thank you all, dear friends
for the encourage messages you text me
and for the prayers you send for my son
please, keep mention AMADEO in your prayers
thank you!
