Kapaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan??????

Siapa yang sekarang sedang merasa senang dengan pekerjaannya??
Unjuk tangaaaaann...!

Kalo iya, lebih baik mandi kembang, bakar dupa atau apapun buat merasa bersyukur.
Karena pada dasarnya.., bekerja itu gak asik, jijay dan bikin frustasi. Mungkin ada saat2 dimana gua sangat menyukai pekerjaan gua, tapi kalo pada detik ini, saat ini, gua siap melancarkan bogem mentah ke siapa aja yang kasih gua alasan buat sumpek.

Ya, ya.. masih punya kerjaan, kudu bersyukur..
Iya... iya kok!! Bahkan gua mungkin termasuk yang unjuk tangan,
tapi biarlah di detik ini gua menikmati kefrustasian gua (bisa ya?)..
dan yang bikin lebih frustasi adalah kenyataan., kalau dimana pun, selama bekerja sama orang, selama berurusan dengan yang namanya orang, frustasi tetap ada biarpun levelnya beda-beda..

karena itu pas gua nemu dan mendengarkan lagu simple..
menarilah dan terus tertawa, walau dunia tak seindah surga....
tiba-tiba gua merasa digebuk dan perih dimata..

mood gua keangkat, tapi bersamaan, gua bener2 menyadari betapa pengennya gua keluar dari keadaan ini.. keadaan apapun yang bikin gua sumpek dan merasa terkekang..

mungkin istilah noraknya gua pengen berlarian dipantai, kejeduk sana sini atau kepeleset dipasir, gua gak peduli, tapi gua pengen teriak2 dan ketawa sekencang2nya dan bukannya ngumpet-ngumpet menyembunyikan perasaan dan berusaha mengontrol untuk tidak menyumpah atau menangis.

Andaikan..andaikan...?

Kapan gua berani melepas semua-semuanya dan bener2 menjadi buih2 di laut???
Ce-elahhhhhh.... edan......

....

....

tapi gua serius.

Cougar Love

Hmmm…Tacky.
But unlike what we sometimes see in TV, cougar love is tough in Singapore. Just in few weeks, I read two articles about Cougar love goes wrong, in quite extreme ways.

Cougar is the term of older woman scoring younger or much younger man. It’s not necessary negative term, but it tends to go that direction also.

In first article, a parents of a guy, who is dating much older woman, ambush and beat her up. Confusing sentence? Let me try again, a woman was beaten up by parents of his much younger boyfriend. Better? I don’t care.
The boyfriend was furious and lodged police report against his own parents.
A lot of ugly dramas.

Second article, a guy is disowned by his parents when he had relationship and finally married older woman. He tried to ask for their consent, he tried to make peace, to no avail. The peak of all, he was chased away by his mother when he wanted to attend his father’s funeral. Despite going on his knees and tears, he was not welcome. His father’s wish on deathbed was not to let his son attend his funeral.

There are not many valid reasons flying around about why they reject ‘cougar’ that much, except she is a 'disgrace', sons are blind, and one, one, key reason, family tier would stop, the cougar might not be able to bear them grandchildren.

With all due respect to all parents, I would still say For Crying Out Loud. We are still living in ancient world, anytime, regardless how modern the technology and life has evolved. It’s not just for older generation, but actually very applicable for younger generation too, especially Asian. Give yourself a dollar, everytime you know and meet someone who view children as a way to continue your family surname (many Indonesian like me doesn’t even have surname!) , an indication of filial generation for grandchildren production, investment, for money and care on your rainy days when you are old, an must-have social status, a sure stage that everyone – diedie has to go through, an accomplishment of life.

Children are not object. They are individual. If individual are created the same, the creator might as well mass produce us. Bang bang bang… a thousand of Aping or whoever appear. When he gets bored, just release a virus and as easy as it comes, all Aping would be wipe out. Sama DNA. Same effect. Simple. No headache. When those Aping fights, they can go for hours, fighting using same method and all die together because there is no winner or loser.
Yah. It would be boring and crappy world I wouldn’t want to belong. I’ll be sick of them. Of me. Whatever.

Netizen post responses to the article, some share same thinking with me. Some says sons are not filial and disgraceful to their parents.
The sad thing is, until comes to age, those ‘cougar’ are portrayed as down to earth, nice and caring people, and it’s hard to find ladies with those quality in this modern world, you are saying? But when the number is out, Bam, they are disgraceful, slut, man eater, cougar, old hag.. That is really sad.
Not to mention that it doesn't work that way when the man is the much older one.

Parents are angel. They bring up their children until they can stand on their own. I would curse on anyone not being filial if they have angel parents and never repay their kindness when they are the ones who need us.

But it doesn’t mean that they control every aspect in the life, for future and for individual choices and decisions. They might have the reason of ‘I want the best for my children’ but what is the best? Anyone knows? And everything involves feelings are fragile. You think the sons prefer old woman if they can fall for younger and prettier one? They might question it everyday and fight but who can control feelings to be honest?

What is right for one might be wrong for others. And vice versa. Vice versa.
The world is soooo grey…, yet everyone see it as black and white.
I’d say blame Apple.
