It’s fun yet silly when we just realized how alike we are with another person. Sometimes it’s hard to accept people’s words when they criticize us. Even at the same times we could spitting a lot of critics on them. Emm, not us, maybe it’s just me.
After passing several days later, I felt so klutzy for my unawareness. How come in my life I didn’t realize it before? And suddenly my mind jumping into the last episode of Pulau Buru tetra logy by Pramoedya Ananta Toer. Greenhouse, Rumah Kaca. I remember the last part which was explaining why the title of the book is Rumah Kaca. The book said: for learning the social phenomena, you could put it in your greenhouse. Watch the growth of your “plants”, look after them, do the treatment. You isolate the problem in the world of nowhere. In your own world, in your Greenhouse.
I’m a practical person. Instead of the fact, I do really believe on theories. I always practice the theories I’ve learned on my life. I believe, the theorist has been spent their time, money and everything for resulting those theories. So, why do I spend my time for learning everything from the exact start with them, for solving one or another same problem?
Simple example, if there is a rectangle way to get somewhere by foot, I’ll take the diagonal just like Phytagoras done. Sometimes the diagonal track is hot or through the parking lot, my friends will avoid it. But I have made a serious calculation which proving that I will spend much more calories and times with take the rectangle way. Life is short, why do we must spend it useless just for walk? Of course, it will be different if you do walk to enjoy the sceneries. =)
I applied Greenhouse theory to my own problems, it works. I put aside my ego to be the object of this research. I put my problem such a bacteria in a preparatory glass under the microscope. I do it time after time, and I get used to it, and will always do this.
But then, I realized, I couldn’t be selfish anymore. I start to practice it in other people problems. If you ask me of course, I’m not the political or religion orator. This is a useful knowledge for them. I have to share what I could share. I hope I could help him, help her in this way. Some people just need a little stimulant, but the others need full companion. For smoker, I have “take A cigarette” method. Thanks a lot from them whom asking me solution or just spilling their problem on me. I could learn much more at the same time. After learn and learn, I could see the pattern, I could predict the good next step. Lately, people think I’m guessing their problem. No actually. I just do the math, put your problem in my Greenhouse and voila! It seems clear.
Sehari yang dilewati penuh dengan kegiatan pasti melelahkan. Tapi ketika kegiatan itu bermakna, hmm, waktu jadi terasa berharga, dan hal itu menyenangkan sekali. =)
Seperti layaknya Senin yang biasa, kuliah penuh dari jam 10 pagi sampai setengah 4 sore. Poet, my beloved darlaa would treat me and office fellas for her birthday. My boss(es) just available in 5pm. Sembari menunggu, ngobrol seru sama Mbak @gigihrc tentang buku (yang akhirnya merembet kemana-mana sih, =P). Dia menulis everythings related with books. This is her photos from her blog: http://bacabukubagus.wordpress.com
Untuk penggemar buku-buku karya pengarang asing, hm, this blog obviously will fit to you. Resensinya cukup singkat, karena ia memilih untuk tidak men-spoil para calon pembaca buku tersebut. Oh ya, sebagian besar buku yang diresensi juga ada link e-booknya loh. Jadi ga usah empet nunggu + nabung sekian lama untuk baca karya-karya bagus yang sudah diresensi.
Time passed by, mbak Gigih pun akan berangkat nonton Robin Hood (Good movie, another kind of Hood version. I love this bloody, manly Robin Hood). Saya pun menuju kantor, mau numpang documenting data buat skripsi, sekalian nunggu orang kantor pada ngumpul untuk makan-makan. Senyampang (anyone use this word? Ini padanan kata indonesia baku untuk sembari) mendata, ternyata bang @aldosianturi sedang online. Wah, kesempatan yang oke nih. Saya ingin ngobrol beberapa hal yang udah kepo abis gara-gara Twit kemarin2.
Siapa sih Aldo Sianturi? Dia orang yang pertama kali saya tahu akun twitternya karena penawaran pencantuman nama di album Sore. Iya, Sore yang itu, yang band indie itu, yang lagu-lagunya mantab jaya! Ternyata eh ternyata bang Aldo ini adalah orang yang ada di balik Sore, White Shoes & The Couple Company dan band lain di bawah bendera PURAPURA Records. Bang Aldo sendiri sudah malang melintang di dunia per-label-an sekian lama (berapa lama yak? lupa. hehe), mulai dari Universal Records sampai Aksara Records. Gimana ceritanya kamu bisa ketemu orang ini Vin? Ahaha. Kalo jodoh mah, ga bakal kemana. Hehe.Ini nih ketemu pertama kali..
Ini foto di halaman BlackBird Coffee & Pancake, Jl. Imam Bonjol 125 Surabaya, rekanan Gathotkaca Studio. Sebelah kanan sendiri adalah bang Joseph Sudiro, bassis Vox yang punya BlackBird. Sebelah kirinya itu bang Aldo Sianturi. Selain saya yang nyempil di belakang, mereka-mereka ini pemenang Lomba Photo Mantab Jaya yang kami adakan. Cerita lengkap lomba photo-nya bisa dilihat di sini. Bang Aldo sedang di Surabaya dalam rangka pembicara MarkPlusFestival 2010. Nah, lusanya, bang Aldo bikin sharing session tentang Indiepreneur, yang bisa temen-temen baca di http://aldosianturi.com
*Music Sharing Session di Surabaya, bareng @aldosianturi, @afimotik, @ninilmotik, mas Bambang Morning After, mas MayoVOX*
Kalau teman-teman concern di musik, pengen enlightment di bidang entrepreneurship, atau banyak hal yang berkaitan global-local, central-peripheral topic, blog bang Aldo ini jelas wajib baca. Sip! Pengalamannya jelas jauh lebih kaya dibanding saya, dan hal ini tercermin pada tulisan-tulisannya.
My bosses ready to go after their meeting, dan kami sekantor pun makan-makan di Leko *spesialis iga penyet* (itu tagline-nya loh. hehe). Setumpuk doa buat Poet.... Cup-cup-mwah!
