Mandy dan Kambing

Suatu sore di depan rumah orangtua saya di Depok, saya sedang bersama Mandy, anjing saya, ketika seorang balita berjalan melintas bersama ibunya.
Anak : Maaak, ada kambing maaaak!!!!
Ibu : Huss... itu bukan kambing, tapi anjing.

Hoooh.... ternyata anak anak masih susah ya membedakan antara anjing dengan kambing...

Pada suatu sore yang lain, di depan rumah mertua saya di Cakung, suami saya sedang memasukkan Mandy ke mobil, di bawah kaki saya di kursi depan. Ternyata ada 3 anak melihat dari kejauhan, dan serentak berlari ke arah mobil kami.

Anak1: iiih anjingnya naik mobil!
Anak2: iya dia sama mama nya di depan!
Anak3: mama nya????
Anak2: iya ada cewe di depan, itu mama nya!
Anak1: Orang-orang pada beli kambing, ini kok malah bawa anjing...
Anak2: Iya anjing kan baik..

Hari itu adalah Idul Adha, dimana para Muslim berkurban hewan ternak baik sapi maupun kambing. Tak heran anak anak menghubungkan antara anjing dengan kambing, disaat orang-orang kebanyakan sedang antri beli kambing untuk kurban kami malah membawa anjing.

So Far Away

Remember my best pal Lisa Polak?

She told me that our situation now quite similar like "So Far Away" song from Carole King and James Taylor.

So Far Away

So far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're just time away

Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
Oh, how I wish I could
But you're so far away

One more song about moving along the highway
Can't say much of anything that's new
If I could only work this life out my way
I'd rather spend it being close to you

But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're so far away

Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothing else to do but close my mind
I sure hope the road don't come to own me
There's so many dreams I've yet to find

But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know you're so far away

"Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore"

yes Lisa, we have the same feeling...

hope we meet soon ^_^
