Cat


Meet Cat, the neighbour's... well, cat. Ever since he got lost to our home couple days ago, he seems to be visiting a lot.

He came again this evening, while I was frying sausages and egg. (Our house is being re-painted for more than a week now. And the dust is driving us insane, my Aunt doesn't even want to cook anymore.)

Cat (I don't know his real name) is a snobbish hybrid. He doesn't linger on your feet, wanting to be hugged or petted. He will run to every direction in the house, smelling every corners. Or sit calmly in the newly-painted kitchen, not even bother to look at people who's calling him.

This evening Cat brought a new toy. A cockroach. Normally, I would say it gross. But Cat seemed to enjoy his play-date a lot. He would let the poor cockroach go, only to run catching it agan. Let free, run catching.

Few times Cat left cockroach lying on its back and it would play dead. Then Cat would check up on him. Once Cat finished helping cockroach on its feet, cockroach would run and Cat would be on his hunt again.

I found cockroach to be disturbing ever since I read Kafka's Gregor Samsa who turned into insect. It's supposed to be beetle, but Kafka's description about the insect also matches cockroach.

Anyway, finally the tiny body of cockroach could not take it anymore. It finally laid lifeless on the backyard.

Cat seemed to be quite taken aback. He tried to wake up the cockroach, but it just wouldn't move. Finally he gave up and moved away.

Then Cat sat calmly, now under the toilet. Ignoring my old, "Here kitty kitty Cat..."

egg, chicken, pie

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! :)




lingering



They say if you want to see the rainbow, you'll have to bear with the rain. But this particular rainbow just appeared in the sky, once upon an Idul Adha (if I remember correctly), along with no rain.

It's a full circle around the sun. But it seems like diameter of the rainbow itself was too big for my little pocket camera to capture whole of it.

tentang marmut

Gue baru baca buku terakhirnya Raditya Dika, Marmut Merah Jambu. Gue masih nggak ngerti apa hubungannya marmut sama buku ini. Mungkin karena isi bukunya kali ini kebanyakan tentang cinta, jadi suasananya merah jambu. Nggak ngerti deh.

Eniwei, gue nggak pernah terlalu suka sama Raditya Dika ini. Awalnya gue baca 'Kambing Jantan' dan memang sukses membuat gue ketawa sendiri malam-malam. Tapi kemudian buku dengan konsep yang sama bermunculan dan si Raditya Dika ini kayaknya nggak maju-maju dengan novel-novelnya. Dan gue juga nggak suka dengan dia yang suka ngatain orang alay (masih nggak sih?).

Waktu gue ke toko buku terakhir kali, gue liat si Marmut Merah Jambu ini. Iseng, gue baca depannya. Niatnya to get a little laugh sambil nunggu adek gue beli cartridge buat printer. Tapi ternyata bukunya beda dengan yang sebelum-sebelumnya. Dan untuk pertama kalinya gue menilai tulisan dia bagus. Seperti, kali ini dia memang punya suatu ide untuk disampaikan.

Mungkin cinta memang bahasa yang paling universal, bahkan untuk orang yang terkenal dengan lifestory-nya yang aneh dan absurd. Di salah satu bagian buku ini dia cerita tentang pertemuan dengan soulmate. Bagaimana alam semesta bisa berkonspirasi supaya dua orang bisa ketemu.

Lucu. Nyokap gue juga pernah bilang begitu. She said: 'If one day you find somebody you love and loves you back, hold it dear. Because there are three billion people in this world and to find one that fits you like two pieces of puzzle... Isn't it miraculous?'

It is, indeed.

So It Began

Well, I've never been good in saying something like prelude. So this is it. My brand new blog. I guess I won't be writing on the old one anymore. It took me like forever just to decide the template. And... here it is, as you see.

Anyway, now is like 2.14 AM. I'm still awake. Partly because... well I'm sort of in my semester break and just like any college student who's having a break, I spent my day in all the glory of laziness I have within. Meaning: didn't do anything but playing piano, IM-ing, watching DVDs... Anyway, as I'm writing this, I think I heard someone press the tuts of MY piano outside my room. And I heard a sound as if someone tried to close the piano. Me and my sisters have a bad habit when it comes to that, we never bother to close the piano.

This is quiet scary. I want to go outside and take a leak, but I figure I can wait until morning when everyone is up. Then I look at the door of my room, I realize I haven't closed it properly. Well, my dad haven't closed it properly after saying goodnight. And I am too scared even to close the door. Well, I figure if this whatever-thing even bother to close the piano, 'it' can do with my door as well. That's if I'm not just imagining things. It's pretty late now. So well, perhaps I AM imagining thing.
