Gw kira rasanya akan sama aja. Ada rasa kangen ya wajar karena jauh dari tempat yang selama ini kita sebut familiar. Tapi ternyata ada rasa rindu yang pukulannya berbeda. Di kasus gw, gw cuma kenal satu orang Indonesia. Beliau bilang kalau mau temen jalan-jalan bisa lah berkabar biar jalan bareng. Tapi karena gw ada kerja dari senin-jumat, sedangkan beliau nggak, jadinya waktu kami seringkali nggak pas. Sedangkan di akhir pekan, gw habiskan bersama suami. Bulan pertama masih terasa integrasi. Berusaha mengenal supermarket mana yang jual apa. Cari ini itu di mana. Menghafal jalur transportasi umum. Mengenal, membaca dan memahami nama daerah atau tempat dari huruf cyrilic-nya untuk sekedar "kalau nyasar, bisa kasih tau suami lagi ada di mana" karena seringkali online maps dihambat pemerintah. Bulan kedua sudah mulai mengenal banyak hal. Sudah punya kartu atm untuk pembayaran. Visa panjang juga sudah di tangan. Mulai berhati-hati dengan banyak hal, mana yang boleh mana ya...
Some of my friends are big fans of Apple. Apple products,
not Batu Apple or Malang Apple. They are admiring Apple that much. I don’t know
why, yea I admit the products are good enough. Maybe I am just not a gadget
freak like my friends.
For them, they know the bad or good parts on gadget, but
surprisingly my dear little sister admires Apple as well. She is only 8 years
old, but she got indoctrinated by my other sister that the best gadget is
Apple. Well actually she doesn’t matter what is the brand of gadget as long as
she can play her games every time. But tablet pc is a something that she really
want to have. Yes because the screen is bigger than phone of course.
She was playing around with my boyfriend IPad. I can tell she
wants it. She wants to have a tablet PC. Then my boyfriend, I don’t know where
he got this idea but he said ‘if you can speak English with me fluently, I will
get you an IPad’. She asked me what does it mean, and right after telling her
the meaning, she was taking my tablet and learn English on Duolingo. A good
thing to motivates her hahaha.
But after awhile she said ‘mbak, can you just give me your
tablet? So when I am able to speak English fluently, you can have the IPad,
because I really want it now’. I said “No, get yours with hard work”. And yeah
she is back to studying. She learn English and my boyfriend learn Indonesian a
bit from teaching her.
Kinda funny things they did at home last time.
this is how the both exchange something. he learn Indonesian and my lil sister learn english. my sister like exchange something for Ipad.
