Arsitek sudah didapat. Gambar pun sudah cocok (istri sreg, suami sreg, ortu sreg, mertua sreg). Sekarang masih dalam proses RAB (Rancangan Anggaran Bangunan). It's been 2 or 3 weeks, tapi kabar dari sang arsitek belum kunjung datang. Was..was..cemas..berharap..mengingat bulan desember ini musim hujan, dan April nanti kami harus ambil keputusan untuk memperpanjang kontrakan, dimana itu artinya ada additional cost yang harus kami siapkan. </span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#6600cc;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#6600cc;">Hari ini kantor sepi.

Lebaran 1428H adalah lebaran pertama kami sebagai suami istri... perasaannya?? BINGUNG!! huahahahahhahaa...aneh memang tapi begitulah kenyataannya. Masing-masing dari kami sebenernya punya ritual sendiri-sendiri ketika lebaran tiba. Sekarang kami sudah berdua-setubuh-sejiwa, sudah melebur jadi satu keluarga... Hal ini yang sedikit banyak bikin kami berdua bingung, <em>bagaimana kami akan mengisi hari lebaran kami nanti? mau pergi kemana? mau silaturahmi kemana?. </em>Keluarga Ulil punya kebiasan mudik ke Wates hampir disetiap tahunnya. Sementara keluargaku, kadang mudik ke Ponorogo-kadang muter-muter ke rumah saudara di Jakarta saja.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:Times New Roman;" >Masalahnya, tahun ini kami berdua cuma dapat libur sesuai dengan kalender pemerintah (dua hari lebaran plus tiga hari kerja sebagai bonus) dan itu masih belum cukup kalau kami berniat untuk ke Wates. Belum cukup dalam artian...kapan ada kesempatan untuk silaturahmi dengan orang tuaku termasuk keluarga besarnya yah-seandainya hari libur itu full dipakai untuk mudik?.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:Times New Roman;" >Aku bingung, Ulil pun bingung. Sampai saat ini, solusi yang terpikirkan adalah mengajukan tambahan satu hari untuk cuti di tanggal 17 Oktober 2007 nanti dan ketemuan di Jogya dengan mama-papa-bhoghem saat hari lebaran ketiga dan aku berpisah sementara dengan Ulil (Ulil pulang dengan keluarganya dan aku ikut keluargaku. Little bit pathetic memang....tapi baru itu cara yang terpikirkan biar semuanya "kebagian").</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:Times New Roman;" >Well, let's see apa yang akan terjadi nanti...</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:Times New Roman;" ></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:Times New Roman;" ><em>Feels gloomy,</em></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:Times New Roman;" >Caca</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312630541520647047.post-4541623996975037902007-09-13T13:51:00.000+07:002007-09-13T16:30:50.604+07:00Panas-panas siang bolongPuasa pertama panas-panasan. Buat apa? Apalagi kalau bukan mengambil tiket nonton <a href="http://daulica.blogspot.com/2007/09/menang-kuiz-lagi.html">hadiah kuiz</a> si Caca yang baru diketahui dua jam lalu. Padahal baru sekitar jam sebelas tadi siang saya mengurungkan niat untuk pergi ke Bank di Kemang. Alasannya, udara diluar terlalu panas. Sebelumnya saya sudah keluar kantor sejenak. Sekedar mengeposkan surat--yang tentunya kuiz-- di kantor pos depan kantor. Karena itulah saya mengurungkan niat keluar kantor berikutnya. Sejuknya udara AC ruangan membuat saya enggan keluar kantor.<br /><br />Wakksss! Coba aja lihat lagi <a href="http://daulica.blogspot.com/2007/09/menang-kuiz-lagi.html">tanggal kadaluarsa</a> pengambilan hadiahnya. Cuma bisa diambil hari ini atau besok. Mengingat besok adalah hari jumat dan pastinya waktu terpotong sholat jumat. Mau tidak mau harus hari ini. Ya sudah. Keputusannya, kami berdua memutuskan mengambilnya sekarang. Alhamdulillah, cuaca sudah menjinak. Tidak sepanas tadi. Awan mendung menolong kami.

Saya sedang kepingin makan martabak manis dan di satu sisi merasa laper krn belum makan malem akhirnya teriak "I WANT THEM BOTH!!". Tapiiii..suamiku yang super bijak itu memaksa untuk pilih salah satu (secara hari itu adalah "tanggal tua" atau hari dimana keuangan sedang sekarat-sekaratnya, hehehhehehehhehehehe (atau krn dia orangnya medit pelit yah? huhuhuuuu)<span class="fullpost"><br /><br />Finally i decided to choose Nasi Goreng Gendut karena...belum makan namanya kalau belum mengkonsumsi nasi..(meski udah makan martabak seabreg, tapi kalau belum menyendokan nasi, belum pas rasanya..)<br /><br />Udah cukup lama juga nggak menyambangi tempat makan ini. Terkenal dengan sebutan "Nasi Goreng Gendut" disebabkan bapak-bapak pemilik usaha makan ini bertubuh sangat-amat subur dengan timbunan lemak disetiap lipatan tubuhnya...(Semoga dirimu sehat selalu ya, Pak).<br />Lokasi tempat makan ini ada di pertemuan antara Jalan Raya Jatibening dan Jalan masuk menuju Kompleks Antilope-Jatibening 2. Dulunya, bapak ini dan istrinya memulai usaha nasi goreng dengan sebuah gerobak kecil dan satu meja makan. Namun karena banyak peminat, si bapak gendut dan istrinya bisa menempati kios untuk mengembangkan usaha nasi gorengnya.<br />Entah siapa nama asli Pak Gendut ini (No one knows I guess... denger2 sih dia nggak punya anak sama istrinya...belum dikasih sama Alloh kali ya, Pak?)<br /><br />Sekarang Pak Gendut udah jarang terlihat di sekitar kios nasi gorengnya. Usaha ini diteruskan oleh beberapa orang karyawan yang bekerja setiap hari-setiap malam. (Yup! Nasi Goreng Pak Gendut buka dari sore-menjelang Maghrib hingga lewat tengah malam). Selain nasi goreng, di kios Pak Gendut juga ada kwetiauw, mie goreng dan Mie rebus..(semuanya enak deh..entah apa rahasia racikan bumbunya..hanya mereka dan Tuhan yang tahu, hihihihihihihi).<br /><br />Malam itu, saya dan suami memesan Nasi Goreng Ati (favorit kami). Beberapa saat kemudian pesanan datang dan kami langsung menyantap sampai tak bersisa. Kekurangan dari penyajian Nasi Goreng Pak Gendut ini adalah ukuran piring yang terlalu kecil untuk menampung seporsi menu nasi goreng ati yang dilengkapi oleh irisan timun segar dan kerupuk. Hati-hati kerupuk terjatuh dari piring (biasanya kalau orangnya cuek, kerupuk itu bakal diambil lagi dan langsung dimasukkan ke dalam mulut, "belum lima menit!")<br /><br />Kami membayar Rp 8000,- untuk satu porsi nasi goreng ati. Sementara minumnya, sudah tersedia gelas dan satu teko berisi air putih sebagai compliment. Kalau mau pesan teh botol atau soft drink atau minuman lainnya, bisa minta ke warung yang ada di sebelah kios Nasi Goreng Pak Gendut ini.<br /><br />Kalau sekiranya, mampir ke daerah Jatibening, bolehlah sekedar mampir untuk mencicipi Nasi Goreng Pak Gendut. Tapi inget! Cuma ada saat hari gelap. Karena kalau siang hari, Kios Pak Gendut menjual menu lainnya (menu makanan khas Indramayu, yg tampaknya kurang laku dibandingkan Nasi Gorengnya).<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_kXoNecOAYwY/RtI7EJ8tdII/AAAAAAAAACE/xBBh39ZVPPY/s1600-h/Pak+Gendut+menu.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_kXoNecOAYwY/RtI7EJ8tdII/AAAAAAAAACE/xBBh39ZVPPY/s200/Pak+Gendut+menu.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5103206270340265090" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: right;">Selamat makan,<br /><br />Caca<br /><br />PS: Ulil masih utang beliin martabak manis: keju-susu yah :P<br /></div></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312630541520647047.post-6448548848613703212007-08-25T16:10:00.000+07:002007-09-03T09:33:21.710+07:00Nasi Uduk Ayam Kalasan Bu Naning<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_kXoNecOAYwY/Rs_ysJ8tdEI/AAAAAAAAABk/0LTAEdpVBxA/s1600-h/24082007105.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_kXoNecOAYwY/Rs_ysJ8tdEI/AAAAAAAAABk/0LTAEdpVBxA/s200/24082007105.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102563743232783426" border="0" /></a></div><br /><span class="awal">K</span>ami makan ditempat ini malam kemarin, dalam keadaan 8L (Lemah, letih, lesu, lelah, laper lagi dan laper lagi) Secara tidak sengaja kami menemukan tempat makan ini. Rencananya sih mau makan di Ayam Bakar Ghantari. Berhubung jam makan malam sudah lewat, jam sudah menunjukkan sekitar pukul 21. Otomatis Ayam Bakar Ghantari diatas meja sudah tergantikan dengan tumpukan bangku-bangkunya yang menandakan tutupnya rumah makan itu.<br /><br /><span class="fullpost">Berhubung cacing-cacing di perut kami sudah berteriak-teriak "you wont like it when i'm angry" (pakai gaya The Incredible Hulk) maka kami pun mencari tempat makan terdekat yang "murmer" disekitar situ. Lah ndlalah, disebelahnya--cuma dipisahkan oleh jalan masuk ke perumahan--ada warung tenda yang ramai pengunjung. Kalau dilihat dari Labelnya sih, makanan yang diunggulkannya adalah Ayam goreng kalasannya. Sampailah kami makan di tempat ini.<br /><br />Secara pribadi (ulil) Ayam gorengnya keciil banget yah, (untung saya nggak pesan ayam goreng: ulil). Rasa Ayam bakarnya enak, bumbunya cukup meresap, nasi uduknya juga enak, nasinnya pulen. Semula saya sempat kaget, baru sekarang makan ayam bakar tapi tidak disuguhi sambal. Eh ternyata, sudah tersedia dimeja (untung belum keburu protes, maklum saja pendatang baru: ulil). Nah ini dia yang paling unggul dari tempat ini (menurut saya lho: ulil) SAMBEL! Sambelnya itu bo'. Pedasnya pas dilidah, tidak tampak seperti sambal, tapi lebih mirip gilingan kacang tapi jauh lebih halus, tapi tidak tampak seperti sambel pecel. Haah, sayang saya lupa mengambil gambar sambalnya. Yang membuat nilainya kurang adalah rasa kerupuknya, entah apa yang membuatnya kurang enak di lidah saya, tapi ada beberapa bagian yang sempat tidak terasa enak. Mungkin akan lebih enak kalau kerupuknya menggunakan kerupuk bawang.<br />Namun secara keseluruhan, tempat ini akan membuat saya (ulil) kembali lagi.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lokasi : </span><br />Jln.

Alasan sederhana: cari sarapan murah! Secara yah..kami makan lontong sayur Padang di dekat Pintu Tol Jatiwaringin/Pondok Gede Barat, and it costed us Rp10.000,- (Agak Kaget juga sih..secara rasa lonsay-nya biasa dan porsinya sedikit). Salah satu alasan lainnya memilih makan nasi uduk di dekat sekolahan, adalah karena gue kepingin banget pengen makan kue cubit setengah matang yang biasa mangkal di deket pintu gerbang SD tersebut. Wah..wah..kalau nggak gitu, agak susah juga nyari tukang kue cubit yang jual setengah mateng.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br />Sesampainya di tempat nasi uduk, kami segera memesan makanan. Waktu menunjukkan 6.40, suami memasang target kalau pukul 7.00 tepat kami sudah harus keluar Kalimalang untuk mengantisipasi telat. Nasi uduk, semur tempe, bihun dan sepotong tahu goreng ditambah kerupuk merupakan menu pesanan suami (Tak lupa memakai sambal kacang). Sedangkan diriku,nasi uduk, bihun, kerupuk, dan risol, minus sambal dan semur tempe (aneh aja..makanya ogah). Berdua habis Rp.6000 saja..tapi menurut suami, rasanya kurang enak..sambel kepedesan, dan semur tempenya kurang match (dia lebih suka kalau isinya semur tahu). Tapi bagiku sih..standar aja..yang penting perut kenyang harga terjangkau.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_kXoNecOAYwY/RtKlVZ8tdNI/AAAAAAAAACs/mE-H2_TVDNs/s1600-h/kue+cubit+sd+01+cipinang+melayu.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_kXoNecOAYwY/RtKlVZ8tdNI/AAAAAAAAACs/mE-H2_TVDNs/s200/kue+cubit+sd+01+cipinang+melayu.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5103323114925552850" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />Tak lupa kami mampir di tukang kue cubit. Satuannya seharga Rp.300. Pesen campur..setengah mateng sama yang mateng...(Abangnya sampai bingung..krn jarang ada orang yg pesen setengah matang kecuali anak2 SD yg jd langganannya), "Dia emang masih SD Bang" kata suami meledek. So what?! Aku suka kue cubit setengah matang karena yummy buat dijilat-jilat...hehehehehehe...cara makan yang sungguh menyenangkan =D.<br />Tapi sayang...better kalau sudah beli yang setengah matang, sebaiknya langsung dimakan, karena kalau sudah dingin, kuenya jadi nggak asyik lagi buat dijilatin :P<br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;">Cordially,<br />Caca</div></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312630541520647047.post-5664636882361082272007-08-24T09:32:00.000+07:002007-09-03T10:12:31.275+07:00Leyeh Theraphy sebagai pemersatu keluarga<span class="awal">D</span>amn good. Nggak ada kata lain yang dapat menggambarkan sensasi rasa dari terapi leyeh-leyeh ini. Entah sejak kapan leyeh-leyeh dapat menjadi sebuah terapi. Kenyataannya leyeh-leyeh inilah yang dapat menghilangkan perasaan penat saya dan istri, lelah sehabis bekerja seharian dikantor masing-masing.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br />Leyeh-leyeh adalah bersantai melepas lelah, sekedar menggeliat ataupun menarik otot otot badan yang kaku. Kalau diperhatikan, secara tak sadar kami melakukan ini setiap hari. Masya Allah nikmatnya. Leyeh-leyeh, sebenarnya itu istilah dari istri saya yang mungkin sudah mulai menangkap kebiasaan rutin kami setiap hari. Bersantai melepas lelah sepulang kerja, berbagi cerita soal masalah kantor masing-masing, ataupun berdiskusi soal masalah keluarga kami. Secara tidak langsung leyeh-leyeh ini merupakan sarana kebersamaan kami setelah menikah.<br /><br />Bayangkan, kegiatan kerja kami super sibuk, dari pagi hingga malam hari. Meskipun ditengah tengah pekerjaan yang menumpuk kami masih bisa saling menyapa lewat Messenger namun kesempatan bertemu muka hanyalah dirumah dan di motor (itu juga kalau "beliau" tidak tidur--gilee, hebat nggak tuh, jarang-jarang ada orang punya istri yang bisa tidur diatas motor.Hehehe). Sekarang, leyeh therapy inilah yang menjadi sarana kami bertemu muka secara intensif, dan saling bertukar pandangan serta ilmu. Dengan begitu mudah-mudahan bisa membuat hubungan kami tetap langgeng hingga takdir berkata lain.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;">Warm Regards<br /><br />Ulil<br /></div></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312630541520647047.post-59261787747075331542007-08-23T13:41:00.000+07:002007-09-03T10:13:42.305+07:00Blog Jelek<span class="awal">F</span>iuuuhhh, akhirnya jadi juga blog jelek ini.
