Such Issue

If lately my days in college are bad because of exams and tasks, I can only define today with: dreadfully awful.

Jadi hari ini adalah harinya UAS Kalkulus III which is materinya sungguh mengerikan ditambah lagi sibuk menyelesaikan tubes TMP dan PPST di H-2 dan H-1 (crazy shit huh). Semalam sebelumnya gue sungguh depresi akan beberapa materi kalkulus yang belum kepegang karena waktu belajarnya keambil perhitungan LRP yang nggak ada abisnya dan menerjemahkan paper QFD. I took a bottle of frickin red bull (rrr..kratingdaeng) just to keep me awake all night and all morning and only got 3 hours of sleep. It got me depressed (I'm depressed all the time). I cried all the time too, and I keep it alone -duh, because everybody's used to my crying and probably be sick of it by now. Dan satu hal lagi yang menambah kedepresian hari ini: harus presentasi tubes TMP dulu jam 9-12 sementara ujian kalkulus jam 4, yang berarti membuang waktu belajar kalkulus sekitar 3-4 jam.

Dan dimulailah hari yang terlihat begitu menyeramkan ini.

I tried to keep myself calm tho. Karena setiap presentasi di depan gue selalu nervous dan voice cracking, I know good enough that feaking out way before the presentation starts won't do me any good. I don't bother all my friends' "jir gue panik" "jir gue deg-degan banget". Oh iya, perlu diketahui juga bahwa dosen yang satu ini sangatlah strict terhadap apapun, makanya semua orang nervous --terlebih lagi macem-macem cerita dari senior. Well, anyway, selama kelompok lain presentasi yang gue lakukan adalah komat-kamit ngafalin yang mau diomongin dan nulis poin-poin penting di kertas. Karena gue presentasiin bagian yang gue kerjain di paper ya gue rasa gue lebih dari siap buat maju ke depan.

Akhirnya tibalah waktu kelompok gue maju. Perkenalan lancar, terus Aiy jelasin pendahuluan, dan saatnya gue yang jelasin subbab 2.

And suddenly it just clicked, in a snap, I forget all the things that I need to say. Gue bahkan gabisa memutuskan harus liat ke catetan di tangan atau ke poin presentasi, panik. Kepala dan kuping gue kerasa panas, I'm sure as hell I looked like a roasted pig that moment. My hands are shaking, my voice is cracking. Shit. Gue tetap lanjut jelasin dengan banyak "eee.." "eee..." sambil ngomong gemeter, gelagepan, dan semua combo anything-that-could-go-wrong-in-presentation. Geez, I didn't even know what I was talking about, my lips kept moving but my head just shut. Nightmare. Dan disela-sela kekacauan itu, dosennya interupsi.

"Saudara daripada ngomong nggak jelas diskip ajalah, isinya juga sama kayak yang sebelum-sebelumnya tadi ini. Gausah buang waktu temen-temennya, Saudara ngomong gak jelas kayak gitu."

Probably malaikat izroil sudah berada di dekat w ketika itu. I'm a dead man. Gosh. Semuanya jadi makin kacau, gue makin panik, makin gemeter, makin gatau harus apa, I skipped some slide yang udah dijelasin kelompok sebelumnya dan lanjut lagi di slide yang belum dijelasin. Dan segala ke nggak jelasan itu tetap berlanjut, every fucking thing yang gue hapal di luar kepala just went off like that. It's fucking Quality Function Deployment! I KNOW all the shit for heaven's sake! Tapi yang semua orang liat tadi siang cuma seorang mahasiswi dongo yang bahkan gatau apa yang keluar dari mulutnya. I wish I could just disappear rightaway. Tapi ngga bisa, dan dengan terbata-bata gue menyelesaikan penjelasan gue yang nggak ada jelasya sama sekali.

Lanjut dianti yang jelasin, lancar. Lanjut Marsya yang jelasin, lancar juga, kemudian si ibu ini emang mungkin kelaperan atau kepanasan karena tiba-tiba dia menyerang Marsya yang lagi jelasin dengan segala kepercayadirian yang dia punya, nanya-nanya hal yang obvious tapi in the most intimidating way possible. Shit.

Lalu setelah presentasinya berakhir, muncullah waktu ibunya menceramahi kelompok kita. Nggak paham materi and shits. It's most likely hasil dari kesel sama gue dan jadiin kelompok gue buruk di mata dia. Dan hari itu belum lengkap tanpa kalimat "Terutama Saudara yang tadi paling kacau, kenapa? Tidak baca papernya?" Kata dosen w, straight to my face. Kalo ini uji nyali, gue yakin betul gue bakal dadah-dadah ke kamera.

Ada satu hal yang nggak semua orang tau kecuali orang-orang se MTI. I sucked THAT bad at speaking in public. Gue gabisa ngomong di forum osjur, sekalinya ngomong lagi-lagi semua argumen gue hilang, gemeteran, terbata-bata, selalu gitu. Waktu osjur tentunya cuma jadi bahan ketawaan abis beres forum, tapi di depan dosen ini tiba-tiba semua pride yang gue bawa ditenggelamkan dalam-dalam. Gue, yang nggak tau harus jawab apa, ya jujur bilang gue gabisa ngomong depan publik. Dan makin menjadilah dia.

"Saudara tidak bisa menjadikan itu sebagai alasan"
"Saudara di kehidupan berikut-berikutnya harus bisa mengutarakan ide yang saudara punya ke depan orang banyak, apalagi mahasiswa MRI"
"Saudara tidak akan bisa sukses jika saudara membenarkan kelemahan saudara itu di dalam diri saudara sendiri, itu harus dilawan"
dst.

I got slapped so hard with those words. Well, I know that all of those are true, but I don't really prepared to hear those from her and in front of the class. All I could do is just nodding my head (yeah what else could I do).

Lalu seperti yang sudah bisa ditebak kalkulusnya sangatlah sulit.

Tapi hal paling menyakitkan hari ini tetap semua omongan Ibu Lucia yang meski berkritik membangun namun membuat gue tertekan sepanjang hari dan sampe sekarang belum berhenti tertekan karena belum cerita sama Mama. Gosh. I talked A LOT to people, even strangers, I'm so good at talking with people. But when it comes to public I just went as stupid as a donkey. Gue udah tau ini dari lama, tapi gue baru sadar kalo ini sebuah isu yang besar di keberlangsungan hidup gue kedepannya. Gue tau at one point these all got to stop. I probably need to go to some public speaking course or even to a shrink. My closest ones probably didn't notice this issue because I'm a lot of a talkative.

Mungkin sesadis apapun kata-kata doi, memang ini titik dimana gue butuh digampar sama facts menyedihkan itu.

I promise that the whole class would see me talk so fluent like never before

((setelah I took the frickin course atau mungkin find the solution on internet))

Kata Lain di Balik Kata Lainnya

Kamu tau, kalau kamu selalu membuatku ingin berkata-kata? Meskipun hampir semua yang terlontar getir, tapi aku menyimpanmu dengan manis di antara lembaran kata yang tidak akan pernah kamu baca --yang kadang-kadang menggerogotiku dari dalam. Lebih baik tidak ada yang tau, termasuk juga kamu, karena memang tidak ada yang perlu tau. Dan sekonyol apapun ini terdengar, aku harap suatu saat kamu terbangun dari tidurmu, kemudian ada suatu rasa baru yang menyusup di rongga dadamu. Karena saat itu -untuk pertama kalinya- mimpi kita beresonansi. dari renungan sepanjang Cipularang

So-called Holiday. Yawn.

Behold, fasten your seat belt, cause it's d-4 of......senior year. SAY WHAAAADDD. Horor coy... Selalu deg-degan sendiri ya bayanginnya, tapi mau gimana lagi :') udah di depan mata. Harus ambis nih, biarpun gue nggak ngerti gimana caranya jadi ambis, biarpun mau seambis apapun rapot semester 3&4 udah terlalu hopeless buat undangan, tapi yaudah lah ya. Dan gue masih bingung mau akuntansi, manajemen, atau teknik industri. Dan bingung kenapa pilihan gue susah semua huakaka. Nih ya kalo fti itb misalkan 100% undangan berarti gue tinggal backroll ke empang, berarti gue cuma bisa milih fakultas yang ada mandirinya since tertulis udah nggak ada. Masalahnya lagi minat gue kepecah di ipa dan ips, padahal gue ga bakal kuat ipc, dan dua-duanya fakultas favorit. Pokoknya gue cuma sanggup ipa atau ips murni. Berarti mesti mantepin salah satu dari itu... Parbet senin udah kelas 3 tapi arah idup masih gajelas. Istikharah deh... Bismillah. Anywaysss daripada stres sebelum waktunya (pa...
I'll probably delete this later, all i know is that I need to pour this out right now My daddy always give me, my mom, and my brother a bar of chocolate on valentine's day, the one with the writings from the store so he shouldn't write anything on it anymore. Maybe for some, valentine's day is stupid lame silly whatsoever. I don't really into valentine's day too before, but when the moment's there, I always feel the warmth in my heart of how my family loving each other seriously and wholeheartedly. And now when I'm not there to receive any hugs or chocolates, I really miss that silly lame but cute tradition of my family. I got nothing here, nothing at all. I miss my family so fricking much it turns me into some pathetic lonely girl on saturday night. I've been meaning to call my mom but she's busy hanging out with dad tonight (and their friends). I want a love like that. If there's any love I want to have with my future husband, at least it h...

Ordinary

Since you came along, my days are ordinary. We laugh just like yesterday, And I kiss you like the day before, And I hold you just like ordinary. Perhaps when the day is new, We'll find tomorrow is just ordinary too.

Love Like a Sunset, Pt.II - Phoenix (Day 2 - Song with number on the title)

Salah satu lagu favorit gue sepanjang masa! Lagunya ngga sampe 2 menit karena lanjutan dari Love Like a Sunset, Pt.I yang lebih panjang. Ini kalo dibawain live kedua lagu tersebut indahnya ga karuan. Lebih suka part kedua karena membawakan emosi kelemahan gue, yang adalah acceptance . Musiknya melankolis dengan tetap terasa hopeful dan ga menye-menye. Pesannya juga sangat indah dan efektif disampikan dalam 1 menit 46 detik tersebut: [Verse 1] Acres A visible horizon Right where it starts and ends Oh, when did we start the end? [Verse 2] Acres A visible illusion Oh, where it starts, it ends Love like a sunset Di verse pertama, sunset diceritakan sebagai awal dari suatu akhir; alias lah kok tiba-tiba udah mau selesai hubungan ini?! Kemudian di verse kedua langsung masuk ke fase berterima, bahwa hal yang dimulai pasti akan berakhir juga. Bagi gue lagunya menggambarkan relationship / perasaan yang indah banget tapi cuma sebentar -dan masih indah until the very end. Jadi inget pernah dapet...

Thermodynamics

I could spend all day watching you smile and listen to your stories because that's when everything finally felt right again. I'll be talking to you all day discussing silly million ideas to spend our holiday because I love how it makes me feel. I'll be at my room by the end of the day, figuring some thermodynamics shit while listening to your mixtape, and feel perfectly fine about the world. I wish it could go on this way everyday :p

There Was No Funeral

June 25th 2024 They took the greatest love of my life away from me, but there was no funeral. They bathed and cleaned her corpse, and all I could think about was if they had took her lash extensions out. They buried her, but I stayed in the car. People cried, but no one hugged me, all that I had was my hand being held by my brother as we drove behind the hearse, Neil Young’s Harvest Moon was playing. I was already isolated for 2 weeks and thought that I would be rewarded by her embrace once it was all over. But there was none of it, it was pain and more pain and more pain. Only after 2 years I could finally cried it all out in somebody’s embrace, didn’t even realized how much I needed to let it all out —how badly I needed to be embraced. Because by the first year, the longing had eaten my insides little by little until there was almost nothing left of me. I don’t want to hold on to this pain forever, even if this pain is the only way I can keep my love for her alive. Because I’m done h...

A Thought in Between The Talk

What are you looking for in a man?  Uhm, nothing? That's probably a stupid answer because, you know, I expect much on too many things. I grew up believing that my mind is a simple open book, tho it's actually a complicated maze.  What am I looking for in a man?  I thought I seek for nothing or perhaps I don't even know what I want and seek for everything instead. That's the reason of all our recent disagreements: each other's expectation doesn't meet our reality. Funny how I hate the love is greed a selfish little need line so much -yet I kept on proving it right. Maybe love itself is cruel? Or is it just the human nature taking its role? What's certainly true is that you probably (god my diction is so bad bcs it's certainly and probably in the same sentence) don't know what you got 'til it's gone. Because as you repeated your question: What are you looking for in a man, really? My mind went blank. You stared right into my eyes. Funny how I a...

Either Way

"Tell me your three most vivid memories." you asked me that night.  We were only started talking for a few weeks that time. I remember telling you the boring stories from my childhood and the life-changing moment of finally watching Coldplay live, because let's be honest, my memory sucked --unless it involved something that triggered my emotions deeply. When it was your turn, you told me those great moments of your life when you live abroad and that one holiday where you drove Fiat Panda in Mallorca. I always love how you told your stories; simple yet very detailed and thorough -just like how you report your analysis at work. That night, I secretly wished that one day I would be in one of those memories that lingers so vividly in your head. But yeah, no chance, right? The only picture of us together was that one where the coffee shop owner took our photo secretly and sent it over to my friend, the one where my face is all covered with my hair. And everything I write about...
