SMS Ibu :
" Mas, Dek Yuli masuk rumah sakit. Ada tumor di kandung kemih da n kandung kemihnya harus diangkat. Operasi sudah berjalan, tapi Dek Yuli belum tahu kalau ada pengangkatan kandung kemih "
" Mas, Ibu-Bpk-Adek baru dari rumah sakit menjenguk Dek Yuli. Sudah sadar tapi masih lemah. Gak tega Ibu lihatnya. Mohon doanya. "

FB message :
Aku : Radit, apa kabar..
Mau tanya aja bagaimana keadaan Dek Yuli ya ? Terakhi dapat kabar dari Ibu setelah jenguk ke rumah sakit.. Salam dari aku dan Mas Anto..
Radit : Hi Ci Irene, sorry baru bales ya. Kabar Mas Yoel terakhir sudah bisa keluar dari ICU minggu sore kemarin dan sekarang di ruang rawat inap Anggrek 3 RS Setia Mitra. Secara umum sudah lebih baik, namun masih lemah dan butuh istirahat untuk pemulihan. Sudah buang angin, namun belum berani makan, masih pakai infus. Minumpun dibatasi 3-4 sendok per jam. Moga2 ke depan akan makin baik. Soal tumor/kankernya kita belum mau terlalu jauh kesana. Yang penting kondisi Mas Yoel pulih dulu. Kita mohon bantu doa dari Ci Irene dan Mas Anto ya.
Aku : Thanks info-nya ya, nanti aku sampaikan juga ke Mas Anto. Semoga lekas pulih ya..
Radit : Terima kasih Ci

SMS Ibu :
" Mas, baru aja Dik Yuli meninggal, belum tahu rencana selanjutnya bagaimana "
Dan bayangan wajah Dek Yuli dengan senyum khas-nya pun hadir..
Pertama kali bertemu saat rapat persiapan pernikahan aku dan Mas Anto, Dek Yuli adalah salah satu sepupu Anto. Nama lengkapnya Yuliadi Adrianus. Anto memanggil dengan sebutan Dek Yuli karena secara garis keluarga Anto adalah cucu paling tua. Semua sepupu yang lain dia panggil dengan Dek meskipun usianya jauh lebih tua dari Anto. Dan akhirnya aku pun memanggil hampir semua sepupu Anto dengan sebutan yang sama..
Aku gak pernah banyak ngobrol dengan Dek Yuli namun dari perawakan, gaya bicara dan senyumnya semua orang akan merasakan kehangatan, kelembutan, intelektualitas yang tinggi ketika berbicara dengannya.
Terakhir kali bertemu Dek Yuli waktu pernikahan Retna dan Tri di Bogor. Aku ingat saat pamitan pulang dan berjabat tangan dengannya.. tidak kusangka kalau itulah pertemuan kami yang terakhir..
Selamat jalan Dek Yuli,
Selamat berpulang ke rumah Bapa..tenang dan abadi bersamaNya..
Sampai waktuNya kita akan berkumpul kembali..

Padang Trip - Day 1 : Minangkabau Airport - Lembah Anai - Putri Minang - Pandai Sikek - The Hills Hotel
Padang Day 1
1. Departing from Batam
We depart from Duta Mas at around 10 AM and we went to Supin's place first to return the rented car and pay the rental fee. The rental fee is 800k rupiah for 3 days.
We arrive at Hang Nadim International Airport at around 11AM and we had our brunch at one of the cafe, ordered Ayam Penyet and Fried Rice with chicken and vegitable plus drink. It cost around 60k rupiah
Checked-in at the Batavia Air counter behind a few ladies who carried so many souvenir boxes from Batam. The queque is short but each passenger was able to carry up to 35kg per person, and this make the queque took up quite a long time. We spent only 5 minutes at the check-in counter since we only have 1 bag weight of 17kg.
After check-in, we went directly to pay domestic airport tax cost 30k rupiah per person
Direct to gate A3, another 2 domestic flights were in the same gate as ours, to Jakarta and to Tanjung Pinang. We took seats near a TV, and after some time the news in TV said about the phenomenal car accident at that time which cause 9 person dead. A lady came near to the TV,well she intented to volume up the TV but accidentaly she switch it to other channel. Almost everyone was screaming to her because we were so intense for the news. For a few minutes the waiting room was out from its silentness. I was sorry for her, embarrased because of her careless :)
Jakarta flight was called for boarding, and I just realized that MAX5, a new Indonesian boy band were sitting near to us just now.. hmm what a coincidence..
Finally, 10 minutes after Jakarta flight passengers boarded,our flight was called. Since there's no good system, it was so crowded at the exit door. The plane was old.Window shade was broken a little bit at one of its corner and the space of the seats were limmitted. At the first place, we sat at the wrong seat =P, our seat number was 14A/B. The stewardess were friendly but they were bigger size for Indonesian.
We're so tired and it made us sleeping during the flight untill they served coffee bun with mineral water.
The plane landed quite smoothly. The landing track is long enough but there is no side-way, so the plane should turn to the airport gate using the same landing track. The track condition is ok but not as smooth as the landing track at Batam, Jakarta or Singapore.
2. Arrive at Padang - Minangkabau Airport
We arrived at Minangkabau Airport at around 2PM local time. Flight is about 1 hr 20 mins. The airport is big and the design of the ceiling was nice :)
It took us for about almost 30 mins to complete our bagage claimed. Maybe because we're checked in early at Batam so our bagage out last.
Before we reach the exit gate, Anto saw our name on a small board hold by a tall, dark looking guy. He must be Uda Andi, our guide. We approach him, he smile and with he assist us very friendly.
We went towards the car. It was hot and sunny outside. The car provided by the travel agent was Black Toyota Avanza. Uda Andi was not only our guide, he is the driver as well. So for the next 5 days 4 night, we will be travelling around Bukittingi and Padang with him.
Uda Andi explained that Minangkabau Airport is a new airport, the old location was too near from hills around.
We turned to the left at a big road intersection towards Bukittingi.
3. First Lunch at Padang - Lamun Ombak Restaurant
Our first stop was Lamun Ombak Restaurant for lunch. It is a big restaurant which can cater around 200 persons.They served us with 14 types of local dishes, and the taste is soooo heavenly delicious !!! We choose some dishes that we rarely get in Batam , Jakarta or singapore, they are : Ikan Bilis Pedas, Belut Goreng (Fried Belut), and Ayam Pop (Steam Chicken), Local fish balls. Ayam Pop and Belut Goreng are the BEST !!! The sambal of Ayam Pop was really really tasty and Belut Goreng is salty, crispy, quite spicy and they are all very very very nice. It was a 45 minutes in food of heaven, and only cost us 50,000 rupiahs.
We continue our journey towards Bukittingi and along the road there is an alod train railway. Many old train railway-bridge as well, still look good, it makes this city looks old but it was a nice experience :)
4. Lembah Anai Waterfall
On the way towards Bukittingi, we stopped by at Lembah Anai Waterfall. My first imagination of Lembah Anai waterfall was we need to stop at the small forest, take a few km walk, and enjoy the view of the waterfall, and I was shocked that Lembah Anai waterfall was only just beside the main road. It is amazing ! Something that we could not find in Java.
We stopped our car just a few metres from the waterfall, and then walk through some snack stalls, and with less than 100 steps we enjoyed the beauty of Lembah Anai Waterfall. It took up our tiredness, and I was so happy to see the waterfall. Some locals were enjoying the waterfall by swimming, some only took out their shoes, sat on the rock with their feet in the water. The water was cold and really fresh :)

-- Abang Jos Gorban--
Kemaren hujan dereeeesss banget di Pademangan, rumah nyokap..
Gw keluar dari rumah, pake payung, bawa tas, siap2 cari bajaj di ujung gang..
Naah itu bajaj biru BBG kosong..
Melambaikan tangan sambil teriak.. " Bang, Xtrans berapahh ? "
Si Abang ngejawab : " 40 yah "
Gw bilang : "35 aja deh bang " sambil cepet2 mau masuk ke bajaj
Dalam hati "Duh lega juga deh akhirnya dapet bajaj.. mana hujan deres banget lagi..
Kebetulan ni bajaj ada tirainya..asik juga"
Baru 5 menit bajaj jalan.. tiba-tiba si Abang nyeletuk "Dek, mau dengerin mp3 gak Dek ?
Yang lagu barat aja ya Dek ? "
Belom sempet gw jawab iya, si Abang udah nyetel mp3 lagu barat..
Trus si Abang nyeletuk lagi " Ini lagunya Jos Gorban Dek ,
Adek tau kan ? "
Dalam hati gw " haaaaah Jos Gorban ??? "
Hujan makin deras.. dan alunan You Raise Me Up - Abang Jos Gorban makin membahana di bajaj gw..
Speaker ada di belakang tempat duduk gw dan subwoofer ada di bawah tempat duduk..
Bajaj melaju dengan kecepatan sesuai dengan lagu.. makin dekat reffren makin cepet juga si Abang nyetir bajajnya.. " Youuuuuu raaaiiiseeee meeee upppp...... so I can stand on mountain... you raissseee meee upppp... "
Lagu makin keras dan pantat gw ikut bergetar krn subwoofer yang ada di dalem jok tempat duduk.. dan yang parahnya lagi..si Abang pun makin enjoy dan makin keras nyanyi lagu Bang Jos sampe mulut gw cuma bisa mengangaaa..
Sampe di satu tikungan, muka si Abang kena ciprat air dari motor yang ngebut di sebelah.. eeeh dia bilang " alhaaaamdulilah deehh, berkaaaaatt "
Gw geleng-geleng, gak habis pikir.. walaaahh walaaahh…
Akhirnya gw tiba dengan selamat dalam waktu 30 menit ! Waktu yang berasa cuma 5 menit dengan suara abang karokean di bajaj
Begitu turun, gw langsung bilang : " Waaah Bangg.. manggssttaaapppp deh !!! "
" Ini ya Bang, 35 ribu ongkos jalan, 5 ribu ongkos audio Bang, buat bagusin lagiihh.. "
Si Abang pun tertawa lebar sambil mengucapkan terima kasih..
" Makasih ya Dek "

Chinese New Year - Dragon Year
Tahun Baru Cina kali ini di Singapura agak lebih meriah dibandingkan tahun sebelumnya.
kenapa ? karena tahun ini adalah tahun Naga. Tahun Naga dipercaya membawa keberuntungan tersendiri bagi yang lahir di tahun ini. Naga dianggap perwakilan binatang yang paling baik diantara ke-12 binatang dalam horoskop cina.
Ada fenomena unik yang disebut "dragon baby" boom dimana orang2 suku cina disini akan berusaha memiliki anak di tahun naga. Dragon baby boom telah tercatat secara statistik baik di lembaga2 pendidikan maupun institusi rumah sakit. Jumlah anak sekolah yang lahir di tahun naga lebih banyak dari tahun-tahun yang lain dan jumlah persalinan di rumah sakit juga akan meningkat di tahun naga ini. Rumah sakit pun sudah bersiap-siap menyediakan kamar-kamar tambahan khusus menyambut dragon baby boom ini.
Nah ini foto kesibukan dan keramaian situasi pasar menjelang tahun baru cina.
Berbagai bunga cantik dijual. Yang unik setiap Tahun Baru Cina dijual pohon bambu. Ada juga hiasan-hiasan menarik khas tahun baru dan bunga musim semi warna merah jambu..
