About you

Rasa-rasanya ingin aku tertawa geli. Berharap seseorang berubah setelah sekian lama tidak berbicara dan menghadapi kenyataan bahwa seorang dia ternyata tidak berubah, sama sekali. Mungkin ternyata atau pada kenyataannya sifat seorang manusia memang susah berubah. Meskipun waktu terus berjalan, menggerus sedikit demi sedikit umur yang entah kapan akan habis masanya.

Entah mengapa, setiap kali berbincang dengannya, yang kurasakan adalah keputusasaan akan kehidupan. Perasaan tidak pernah puas dengan apa yang dimilikinya. Perasaan iri saat melihat kehidupan orang lain, atas pekerjaannya , atas materi yang dimilikinya, dan lain sebagainya.

Jikalau dia dan aku adalah teman. Maka seharusnya aku merasakan bagaimana perasaan yang selalu kurasakan dengan teman-temanku yang lain saat berbicara. Mereka membuatku merasa, bahwa apapun itu, mereka ada untukku, meskipun jarang berbicara satu sama lain, setidaknya aku merasa aku diperhatikan, kabarku mereka benar-benar ingin tahu, mereka bercerita apapun, sepersekian detik mungkin waktu yang kami habiskan, tapi tak pernah sepersekian milli detik aku merasa bahwa mereka hanya menggunakan aku sebagai alat.

Lain bila aku berbicara dengan dia. Pada akhirnya, aku selalu merasa, bahwa aku adalah sebuah alat, yang mungkin akan dia pakai, suatu saat nanti, untuk memenuhi apa yang menurutnya akan membuat dia bahagia.

Teman yang baik adalah teman yang begitu kau gunakan dia sebagai alat. Dia tidak pernah merasa kau gunakan sebagai alat. Karena dia ikhlas. Karena ternyata salah satu fungsi teman adalah saling mendukung satu sama lain, saling menggunakan satu sama lain, dan saling-saling lainnya. Tanpa merasa tebebani. Tanpa merasa pamrih. Itulah kamu saat bertemu dengan temanmu yang sebenar-benarnya.

Mungkin bukan maksudnya berbuat seperti itu kepadaku. Atau mungkin hanya aku yang ternyata terlalu sensitif atas hal-hal seperti itu. Tapi, rasa-rasanya selalu materi yang dia tanyakan padaku, bertanya kabar hanya untuk sekedar kalimat pembuka, basa-basi.

Sayangnya aku tak pernah bisa berbicara lepas dengannya. Entah mengapa. Ingin rasanya aku mengingatkan jika dia tidak bisa mengubah situasi, maka ubahlah dulu sikap dan perilaku diri kita sendiri. Money won't make you happy, even when you think that your happiness is to have a lot of money. People like us, indeed need money. But you don't need to be a millionaire to have a happy life. Work hard, play harder. Why not?  Don't (always) compare what another people has with what you have. Because everybody have their own road. Be ambitious but not be a greedy guy! Of course never think that you are more miserable than other people. Because there is always more miserable people than you in reality.


Do not speak about your money in front of a poor person.
Do not speak about your health in front of a sick person.
Do not speak about your power in front of a weak person.
Do not speak about your happiness in front of a sad person.
Do not speak about your freedom in front of a prisoner.
Do not speak about your children in front of an infertile person.
Do not speak about your father in front of an orphan.
"Because their wounds cannot bear more."
I hope you can grow up to be a  better and wiser man not be just an old man.  :)



* Tapi mungkin semua itu kembali kepadaku. Sebelum ku mengkritik dia, ada baiknya bila aku mengkritik diriku sendiri....

Core

Hai Hai :)

It's time to review another restaurant! Kekekekeke.

Now is time for Korean Restaurant Core. I know this restaurant from my friend, who is a k-pop HARD-DIEfans, she know all about Korea (culture, language, dramas, musics, an so oooon).

I like the atmosphere in this restaurant, when it's not full of people (which is always happen in lunch-break time or something like dinner time) Core was very quiet in a good way of course. There is no k - pop music like another korean restaurant  for modern young people , and the waiters here were friendly . The first time I was here , I ordered bibimbap , which is served in a hot stone bowl that made zzzzzzzzhhh zzzhhhh sound and very tempting , but be careful when mixing red sauce on top of bibimbap , the smell will go everywhere and stick to our clothes , but for me personally , I don't feel that it is a problem , as the food is very hot , if you are not careful , it can burn your tongue . :)



I finally returned to the Core with my housemate . She ordered a set menu,  that I think is very complete set menu with  price about € 7 . In this menu set we get to choose between doejang jjigae ( fermented beans soup ) or miyuk guk ( seaweed soup ) and served with rice , roasted seaweed and korean banchan or side dishes ( kongjorim / black beans side dish , Yeon-gn jorim / lotus root side dish , gamjabokkeum / potato side dish , sauteed zucchini , buchim dubu / tofu side dish , and of course our beloved kimchi , hehehe ) . I think this menu is very fit to be eaten at lunch and not dinner , kekekeke , because in the end we were stuffed and sleepy , so lazy headed for home .

while for my own , as usual I ordered bibimbap and kimchi ordered an extra one ( which is actually every time ordering food here , you will get a free small plate of kimchi ) with korean ginger tea .

They gave us free vegetable dumplings too, to be eaten as an appetizer .

Jjampong or seafood noodle soup here is also delicious, it's spicy and very diverse , from squid , fish until the mussels and I think it is better to eat jjampong warm and not hot because when we eat this soup hot , then the taste won't be obvious, but when the soup was cool down a little bit, the we can taste the spiciness and deliciousness favor .

One of my experience here is when I eat bibimbap for first time , because at that time I was the only customer who was there, the chef of the Core which is actually middle age lady , came up to me (who ready to eat after  I mixed alltogether)  while looking at my bibimbap bowl,  she said, "Good ! That's correct way of eating bibimbap " . It turned out when the Germans eat bibimbap , they do not mixed it together with gojuchang sauce but they takes one -on-one topping that is on top of the rice of bibimbap . So people, plese mix it well before you eat bibimbap. OK? Kekekekeke...
