si barista yang imut

petama2.

siapkan diri lo orang untuk dengar cerita panas brikut..

sebab jadi barista seringkali kita panas.

kalo bukan si hati yang panas.

ya emang si udara panas.

maklum ceritanya kita mesti buat kopi,

cuci gelas, panasin kue, sampe hal ga jelas kayak nunjukin mrt dobi got dimana.

nah!

barista di tempat gua kerja uda semenjak lama,

isinya cowo, cowo, dan cowo.

nah (lagi)!

di suatu minggu setela gua maen bola ujan2an.

gua meng-iyakan store-manager gua untuk bantuin closing

benernya uda mau pingsan,

tapi karena gua berhati mulia dan berbudi pekerti dan luhur,

akhirnya gua datang.

tak disangka, tak dinyana.

JENG JENG!

tiba2 ada barista imut yg lagi jaga store gua.

akirnya masa 7 taon kelaparan dan kekeringan lewat juga!

nah intinya,

gua itu masuk shift malem, jadi si doi bole cao.

jadi setela gua sampe, ga lama dia pun masuk ke ruang belakang buat siap2 pulang.

nah terus entah gimana, gua pun butuh ambil sesuatu di ruang belakang.

......

sebelon lanjut mari gua luruskan dulu,

itu gua bener2 lagi butuh ambil sesuatu,

dan bukan kegatelan cari alesan ke belakang buat ketemu si barista imut!

sumpa ga pake boong!

nah

waktu di belakang,

gua pun ketemu si doi.

terus gua teringat tentang langkah2 menjadi barista top.

nomer 1. elo itu mesti ramah!

ramah tamah, ramah lingkungan, ramah hughes (si peramal top) dsb.

lalu gua dengan PD sejuta,

gua mulae basa basi. terus gua nanya,

"eh what is your name?"

dia bilang

"Pei Ying"

gua nyaut

"ooo, i am andreas!"

terus gua senyum ramah, dan pamitan mau kerja dulu...

dan gua bangga berhasil menunjukkan attitude barista top

kepada barista muda belia kita ini.

(walao benernya gw masi ga becus bikin kopi nya)

kira2 bgitula pertemuan petama gua dengan si barista imut.

tapi, pertemuan kedua, dan benernya terakir gua juga, jau lebi menarik.

si pertemuan kedua terjadi kira2 beberapa hari kemudian,

hari itu....

bersambung.....

*maap yak gua ngantuk maksimum

besok janji lanjut lagi........

that passionate barista

as many folklores started,

this time i'll start with "once upon a time"

......

once upon a time,

there was this barista doing his attachment in my branch.

ah ya, some of you might have no idea, actually i am working part-time,

in one of the cafe-chains.

he is one hell of a passionate barista.

one day, i believe, he will make it to the top.

so, in that fateful shift i met him.

i overheard him teaching a new barista.

he asked that new guy,

"do you know what is one important tool that a barista needs?"

a question on theory!

that crossed my mind, and i believe the same did on the new guy's mind too.

then the new barista started answering.

"pitcher!"

"wrong!" replied the passionate barista (pb)

"ermm, spoon?!"

"wrong!"

"... erm... the heating machine??!"

"also wrong~"

starting to look helpless, the new guy gave his last shot,

"milk!!"

okay, we can see how confused our new guy was.

milk is never a tool.

but honestly, i also had no idea what the answer would be at that time.

then our PB asked,

"give up, bro?.."

"yes...."

"okay, so the tool that you need the most is.... passion"

he continued,

"in every cup you make, you have to put your passion in it"

all of sudden,

i was stunned. and this question popped out.

WHAT ANIME AM IN?!!!!

yakitate! japan? born to cook?

but really,

with additions of background music and a blowing wind to blow his hair,

this will make a perfect scene in any hollywood movie.

if he is less a mister-know-everything,

maybe i will take that statement less comical.

especially when he is not yet that knowledgable.

i am sorry bro if one day you read this.

i just didnt expect that coming. lol.

anyway,

buona fortuna fratello barista!

katanya...

katanya,

perjuangan kita bukanlah melawan darah dan daging,

emang bener itu!

kita itu juga melawan,

buku cetak + handout slides.

emang selayaknya kalo alkitab itu jadi

buku best seller!

*balik belajar lagi

He made everything beautiful in its time - not from CK tang

i guess it is right as Giddens put it.

deep down we long for that puppy love.

where reality (and sanity) has not taken over our consciousness.

we plan.

we want stability.

house.

second puberty.

menopause.

that's why people argue that puppy love won't remain.

it just impossible.

salah satu argumentasi paling terkenal bilang,

"mau makan apa lo? makan cinta? apa makan batu rasa cinta?"

mungkin mereka bener.

but, i think it is still,

sweet.

when i almost cross the finish line of being a student,

then i realize how stupidly sweet is all that.

realizing that almost impossible to relive everything again.

that stirs me. scares the shit out of me.

and i think that's why i love this movie this much.

great job Giddens! (i'll watch ur other movies)

and, let me enjoy the last bit of being carefree. :)

you are right Solomon,

He made everything beautiful in its time.

another apple

http://bjiahao.deviantart.com/art/Shen-ChiaYi-268447953

yea. i suppose so. :)

the apple of my eye

when i should have been cramming for exam,

i am digressing. this time, i blog.

read this blog while listening to this to help you cast the boredom away :)

today, i watched you're the apple of my eye.

this movie as other good asian movies really stirred me up.

while i was coming back home with my bro,

we were talking about this movie while i was having my gong-cha for the day.

i just cant resist to love this movie.

it is sweet, stupid.

and it is so realistic.

it depicts freakingly good,

how fun the high school life could be,

how great college life could be,

how hard we were in love those days,

how stupid we were during those days,

the day when you are happy when you see her putting up a pony tail,

when you talked on the phone for ages,

when even studying can be so much fun,

even if you haven't felt that for ages, or even at all (like me :p),

watching them, will excite you!

at least, it excited me so much.

the movies left you with a lot of what-ifs.

a way too much that it still arouses me until now.

it realistically reminded me of how many what-ifs that i could have done,

...........

...........

and the call Chia-Yi made,

and those lines:

Guy: you want let me to chase after you again?

Girl: *laughing*... hmm.. I am afraid this time, not possible.

..........

that moment is....

is magical

is there really going to be another time?

anyway,

the movie ended not as you wish it could happen in disney.

it happens a lot of times in our lives,

we do not choose something that in fact stirs us inside.

my prof said man looks after the beauty.

woman on the other hand looks after stability.

i know it is often believed that 'spark' is not the key.

some experts argue that this 'sparking' love is a waste of time.

but, is it really so?

shouldnt we go for the one that arouse us?

isnt that adventurous edge that makes this short life worth living?

after pondering that much inside my lil brain,

we reached home, and gone also my gong-cha.

and struck me once more,

how close i am to the end of my college life.

it is almost gone like my gong-cha.

thanks to the experts,

I have been single thruout my life.

and at times, i have been scarred to have a relationship.

wishing for that successful one that leads straightaway to marriage.

and, when i have one in the future,

i'll make sure it is an amazing one.

stirring me inside out.

will not let my life following a blueprint of others.

and will not let others to copy mine.

i think, we should have one of our own to tell.

and (trust me this is going to be last "and"),,,

for all the puppy loves i experienced,

for me, it is not a waste of time. :)

by now, i have been digressing for almost an hour.

if only i had Chia-Yi, maybe i will study harder.

but really, i will enjoy this last exam week as an undergraduate.

the very few last sips of my college life.

lastly,

thank God for inventing this eros,

powerful it is!

not only hands and legs, it cost uriah his life.

thank God i am still single.

i really am enjoying whatever i am doing now.

when it is really the time,

i promise to let it burn as it is supposed to be.

*still waiting for my turn patiently here :)

francesca benvenuti

i used to hate italy with everything comes with it.

it started from their (soccer) national team.

and to be exact, it started when i knew that my childhood friend supporting Juventus and italian national team

the fact that italy is more successful than england (the one i am supporting) was one of the factors.

the other was simple whenever we played Winning Eleven (games in playstation),

it was bloody difficult to beat this italy.

however, the latter was not that pertinent anymore as the time goes.

I became a better WE player than my friend and i ended up killing his italy again and again,

with england or even weaker team. #satisfiedguy

However, I still hated italy

and the fact that many girls are supporting italy because of that sole reason.

that the players are handsome.

that really didnt help.

to put it in one sentence:

i just hated Italy.

but,

this francesca benvenuti changes everything.

if you ever read the ads on smu saying something like "SMU is different",

i dont really believe in that.

but if SMU is really that different,

Francesca might be the x-factor.

the worse thing she did to me?

i am now wishing that i could live my student life forever.

la mia professoressa e' fantastica :)
