Kadang kita

Sempurna yang hanya di muka saja,
Lalu lelah dan berhenti menggali.
Diam di kedalaman yang itu saja.
Karena dasar entah terlalu gelap entah terlalu jauh.
Seperti kamu bilang cinta laut tapi sebatas neritik.
Seperti kamu bilang gila Beatles tapi sebatas Hey, Jude.
Sayangnya sebagian yang kamu pilih untuk sayang bukan kumpulan air maha raksasa, bukan juga empat pria Inggris yang mungkin tidak peduli pada fans karbitan.
Laut yang kamu pilih ini minta diselami, dan kamu cintai seisi-isinya, seperti kamu mabuk sampai mual sampai kamu muntahkan lagi. Tetap kamu tidak bisa berhenti minum.




You like something and you only stick to part of it that you really like.. It will be like eating chicken and you eat only the white meaty part and leave the skin, bone, and gizzards out of it. Chicken is awesome, but i won't settle with only chicken. Does it make sense?

Life. Update.

As if, ada yang peduli kalo gue update masalah idup..

Gimana Padang?


Hehe. Basically, im a very simple person. Im not demanding nor pushy.. So far, as long as i have access to Internet and a cozy place to read, i can live peacefully. Dan Padang punya itu, jadi ya..gua mah sante sante aja.
Selama 2014 ini bisa dibilang (hampir) ga pernah maen ke laut. Maen sih, tapi ga ciblung, as in ga nyelem ato berenang..
They say that Sumbar has some beautiful beaches.. Itu bener sih. Minggu lalu baru banget dadakan ke Pantai Pesisir Selatan, pulau Cingkuai namanya. Namanya juga dadakan..dan gua ga tau kalo ke pantai, dan gua pake rok. Ke pantai. Iya. Dadah babailah ama yang namanya maen-maen di Pantai.
Rencananya sih mau maen ke Mentawai, tapi awal tahun. Kalo sekarang cuaca lagi nggak begitu bagus. Snorkel ama wetsuit juga ditinggal di malang pun. Bahasa gua kenapa begini banget. Yaudahlah ya.
Anyway, perubahan besar yang terjadi di Padang adalah..
Gua
Beli
Motor.



Jreng.

Emangnya bisa naek motor? Bisalaaah. Kalo Matic.
Dan kalo definisi bisa adalah motornya jalan. Jadi, apakah gua bisa naek motor? Obisaaaa, kan motornya jalan.
Minggu lalu nyobain bonceng temen kantor. Tapi yang dibonceng curhat di Path kalo deg-degan dan berasa naik Histeria dibonceng ama yours truly. Cih. I'll be taking her on my back again, soon. Sampe perasaan naek histeria berganti jadi perasaan naek odong-odong.
Yang penting, belajar aja naek motor terus, ye kan.



Udah ah. Udah malem, ikan bobok.

Halo Padang

And they say that life is series of choices. I might disagree with that, but i already made the choice that now lead me to move out to Padang. The friggin capital city of West Sumatra. Sumatra. Su. Ma. Tra.
Do i have a say? Yes yes, some people in HR said so. They gave us this spread, some kind of form that lead us to believe that we have a say in our next transfer. So i wrote Medan, Lampung, dan Palembang as my Sumatran choices. And then i end up in Padang.
But then again, i have to be thankful because some of my friends end up in...much lonelier city. No mall. No cafe. No Pizza Hut. No KFC.

Am i sad? i safely say, that no, im not sad. Well, there were a liiiiiittle breakdown. But then i put on my big girl panties and all problems are solved. After all, i was the one who made a choice to work as one of auditors in so called supreme audit board. B friggin PK.
Excuse my ramblings, dear readers, i may sound like a babbling, bumbling band of baboons  (Hi, Fred and George!), and yeah i was bit pissed but all is right in the world of Viona Putri Siltavia.

Ok, Padang it is.
What can i say about Padang? Well, there are foods. There is this gulai lontong in my office's canteen that is so good i eat it 5 days in a row in my first week. Martabak Kubang. and dont get me start at the sinful Es Duren Gantinamo, oh you, a bowl of frozen devil, you. And then Nasi Padang, of kors.
But my dear friend, im sorry that im unable to broaden the adventure of Padang outside the terms of food, because this yours truly does nothing but veg out these days. Veg out. As in "Oh, look at that.. bed. Let's lie." and read. Nothing new.

But i do have this awesome room. With wooden floor, shower, wifi, red brick wall, big window, located in second floor, AC, nice queen size bed.... and those gigas of books... so, all is right, all is right.
Until i have another interesting things to tell, toodles from Padang!!
