A baby story

If I had a chance from God to buy myself a baby, then I would, no matter how much they cost. It all comes up when I help my sister-in-law’s 2 days ago delivering her 3rd child. She had been pregnant for almost 9 month and 21 days, but that baby seems so comfortable in his Mom’s womb, he didn’t even push her mom to deliver him right away. So my sister-in-law’s husband gets worried and immediately put her up in a local hospital for some injection that stimulates the baby for a smooth delivery. I was there 2 days ago and thrilled, anxious, at the same time very happy for knowing the baby is going to deliver soon. But not for long we were all covered with fears and uncertainties because it’s already almost 48 hours that the baby didn’t even show the doctor a single sign to come out. We get terribly worried and until the last decision was made that my brother-in-law agreed to process a delivery with caesarian section.

For short, the baby has born yesterday at approximately 10 PM, with no difficulties at all. He is very cute, chubby, tiny, his skin is amazingly smooth and fair, his hair is wavy & thick, not to mention his innocent face and adorable baby-scented. Baby is an angel, he brings new hope, new faith—For that I cry tonight, for a dream to have my own, a dream that sometimes fade into hesitation, for my heart cannot explain—Looking at his cute tiny fingers, red lovable lips, walnut eyes, it just thrills me inside. And as my brother-in-law whispering the sound of ‘Adzan’ in his ears, he unbelievably acts as if he know what it means. Watching him undressed and lay there to get himself a diaper and stuff from the nurse, makes me think that this is worth millions than to watch a Sting concert or even a Madonna one. It is then proved at that second, that hedonism is once again being broken easily by spiritualism in front of my very own eyes. That the joy and pleasure is in our heart all along for all this time, I can’t believe that we were too busy trying to look for them in many other places, no wonder we could never found it.

For that I pray, for God Almighty, to spare each and every one of us that often made mistakes, to spare me and my husband and gifted me a wonderful baby that will bring the outmost of happiness in our life. Amin.

The Jungle, Bogor

Sudah lama sebenarnya (dr sekitar 3 bulan yg lalu) saya mendengar nama The Jungle, sebuah wahana wisata yg bukan saja sebatas arena kolam renang umum, namun juga sebagai wahana wisata rekreatif & edukatif dengan area yg cukup luas, sekitar 3 hektar, di dalam kompleks perumahan Bogor Nirwana Residence (by Bakrie Group). Dengan konsep wisata edutainment, disini para pengunjung terutama anak-anak dapat memperoleh berbagai informasi yang bermanfaat tentang alam dan lingkungan, seperti 4D Theater (memutar hanya film kartun), Fountain Futsal, Giant Aquarium, Bird Park, Dry Park, Lazy Pool, Big Stage for Live Band, Racer Slide, Children Playpool dan Leisure Pool.

Tiket masuk The Jungle pun cukup murah, dengan harga Rp. 30.000,-/orang pada hari kerja (Selasa-Jumat) dan Rp. 50.000,-/orang pada hari libur (Sabtu-Minggu) kita sudah dapat menikmati asyiknya bermain air di kolam renang, wahana lain serta sarana edukatif lainnya di tempat ini. Biaya tambahan lain adalah Rp. 5.000,- untuk sewa 1 locker, Rp. 15.000,- untuk sewa ban, Rp. 90.000,- untuk sewa 1 pondok kecil berkapasitas 6-8 orang di pinggir lazy pool untuk pengunjung yg menginginkan lebih dari sekedar duduk-duduk di kursi-kursi yg telah disediakan di sekitar area kolam berenang. Booth makanannya juga lengkap, ada fast food Jepang, makanan Indonesia, Hotdog, Hamburger, Bakso, cemilan untuk anak2, dll. Oya, The Jungle buka dari jam 09.00 – 18.00 di hari libur.

Saya sendiri hanya datang berdua dengan suami karena memang belum punya buntut yg bisa diajak. Kami datang di hari Jumat yg keadaannya ternyata ngga begitu ramai jadi enakjuga saya bisa lebih ‘menguasai’ berbagai macam wahana yg ada di tempat ini, he he... Ada juga tukang foto keliling resmi dari Fuji (foto dgn kamera digital) yg bisa mengabadikan saat2 kita berada di The Jungle dengan biaya foto & cetak HANYA Rp. 5.000,- saja, kita bisa dapat foto dengan kualitas jernih berukuran 5 R. Kalau buat saya & suami yg cuma datang berdua, bersyukur bgt dgn kehadiran si tukang foto, krn kita berdua basah2an terus, kan ngga mungkin juga bawa2 kamera digital kesana kemari sementara kita juga mau berenang-ria, he he...

Keamanan dan pelayanan The Jungle juga bagus, terbukti dari beberapa lifeguard yg keliatan siap siaga di setiap titik penting yg butuh pengawasan & pengamanan, staff-staff lainnya juga informatif dan sangat concern bgt lho sm keselamatan kita waktu mau naik wahana2 itu. Sayang pas datang ke The Jungle waktu itu sudah siang jadi kami ngga sempet lagi nikmatin 4 D theater, kita cuma berkali2 nikmatin wahana racer slide yg sampai akhirnya harus berhenti krn The Jungle akan tutup jam 5 sore di hari biasa. Akhirnya, bahagia juga sekarang saya & suami bisa berenang (lebih tepatnya main2 air—berenangnya paling setengah jam) di tempat selengkap dan senyaman The Jungle yg adanya di Bogor, plus harga terjangkau bgt lagi, jadi ngga perlu ke Waterboom Ancol atau Waterboom PIK lagi deh—yang jauh dr rumah saya & ramenya ampuuuunnn kayak cendol... kalau hari libur. Ayo buruan dateng deh! Telp. (0251) 212165. (ada bakat ngga jd PR nya The Jungle???)

How magnificent life can be. For my life, I’m on the phase # 2… Thou shall not fear. Yeah, after the introduction of the new me, new surroundings, new fams, new many things I don’t like, I kinda finally get used to it, I’ve tried to adjust, just mingle on and well, quite frantic at the beginning, now? Ummm… a little sparks here and there makes me happy & helps me get through it. They say, it’s always awful for the first time, u’ll get used to it after all... After all, we can’t be happy & laughing all the time, right? Sometimes we must learn to be brave enough to experience bad experience. To be strong to fight all difficulties we never face before and we must learn to face it alone. So, here I am now, happy girl with a little whining, still, for this and that, but I guess nothing’s wrong whining for something that I thought needed to be fixed. This is my life after all. The matter is now, I am so grateful for having this feeling now, I’m totally calmer than before (really?), I LOVE doing household thing and I found it amusing to collaborate family-hood, neighborhood, with my world(hood)—hi hi, it becomes an interesting harmony now.

Embracing new year’s resolution I’m already being well-equipped with the full strategy plans for the goals of my life and will never forget the key for success to pass many obstacles in life year 2008. Hi hi.. What am I saying??? Well, hopefully there are lesser obstacles in 2008 so I can manage my life easier and get myself tons of nap in 2008 (you lazy a**!!) LOL. E.g. one of my 2008 goals is for my husband to gain 5 kg fresh flesh so his body looks perfect. That is, more quality milk in the fridge, which I already prepared. Well, wonderful, wonderful dream, hope I can achieve all and the same for the people trying so hard to work on a 2008 life’s resolution. Wish you all the best. Wish me for the best. Ouw yes, I must’ve been forgot to tell this one: I’m planning for a beautiful baby this year, well, not now for a sudden, but, let’s just see how God’s hands help me out with this babyhood. Well, ladies, LOVE LIFE!!!
