Namanya??
Labels:
surrounding
Berikut ini adalah percakapan yang terjadi di sela-sela jam mata kuliah tidak favorit saya. Ceritanya teman saya yang senantiasa menjual gorengan di kelas sedang melayani si teman saya yang senantiasa membeli gorengan. Menu gorengan hari itu adalah risol dan pisang goreng.
Si teman saya yang mau membeli gorengan berkata, "Mau risolnya, dong."
Si teman saya yang menjual gorengan memberikan risolnya.
Tapi, kemudian ia berkata, "Kalau yang saya jual ini, namanya karoket, bukan risol."
Di benak saya terlintas wajah nenek saya yang sering membuat yang mirip seperti itu. Lalu, di dalam hati saya berkata, "Itu mah lumpia kering."
Orang Sunda menyebutnya karoket. Orang Jakarta tidak mengenal karoket, tahunya risol. Saya yang di darah saya mengalir darah orang Cina-Semarang mengenali bentuknya yang mirip lumpia.
Jadi, pertanyaannya, apa nama makanan itu?
P.S.
Ternyata kata om Google, namanya lumpia.

Close-minded
Labels:
there's me in my eyes
I don't know why, but the 'close-minded' still annoys my ears till now. It has been two days since 'close-minded' came to my ear clearly. However, I can't release the effect of that phrase. Arrggghhh! Annoying!
Truthfully, I was a little bit hurt when she said that to me.
"What?! Close-minded?!", said me but just in my mind.
"Please, open your mind. Don't be too strict," she said.
Then, I told her that I am not a close-minded person. I just want to see any problem based on my ideology. Whatever I said, she ignored my reason. She even told me and warned me to be careful with my dangerous and strict mind. If God didn't give me patience, my anger would burst without realizing what I was doing there before.
Did she think that life was just on earth? Come on, she was the one who must open her mind.
Since that day, I've known that it's not easy, even so hard. What I am doing now isn't simple as I thought before. There are many people out there who still consider me as a close-minded person. I wonder how to fix this problem. One absolute answer is never giving up, right?
