Let's Make Something BIG

This is a kind of conversation that we made over a mojito and a lychee martini last night.

My gay friend thinks that she hasn't make something big in her life "I mean..look at the others.." she said "they're study abroad and then they're working abroad.. I really think about this every morning each time I wake up...Geez, I haven't make something big in my life!"

That's true. Someone at  my age should've done something big, something meaningful in their life. 

In my office, someone at my age should've achieve certain position so called asses *i mean associates* or if they don't, at least they have successfully obtained their master degree from overseas either by self funding or obtained scholar, completed their internship program in foreign firm, being seconded to another company or else..

You know, even my friend's sister at my age is now pursuing her master degree by scholarship in D*ke University yet take part time job at one of the retail company in States and gets her monthly income in the amount of $10,000 per month. Yes, seratus juta rupiah per bulan it is.

What a shame life!

Then I started think: I haven't make something big in my life, have I?

Mau dicalonin jadi pelajar teladan se-kota gue doang *waktu SMA hahahaa* guru bimbingan konseling manggil gue "yaampun, rok kamu pendek...kamu ini kan mau  dicalonin jadi pelajar teladan, calonnya dari sekolah kita cuma kamu ama rika (RIKA = temen gue anak rohis yang berjilbab panjang sakinah mawaddah warahmah)

*Kemudian somehow matahari sore menyinari rambut gue.. tsaahh* si Ibu Guru terkejut dan berkata "rambut kamu ungu??!" seraya menyentuh rambut gue seakan-akan ga percaya sama apa yang dilihatnya *cape deh bu, masa ga keliatan sih daritadi, perjuangan nih nyalonnya jauh2 ke Jakarta* dan menyelipkan sebagian rambut ke belakang telinga gue, pokoknya persis kaya adegan2 di sinetron cinta2an yang biasa ditonton para pembantu, lalu "ya ampuuuun...anting kamu dddduuaaaa???!!" 

Yaelah bu..bu.. anting gue tiga kali di kuping sebelah kanan, cuma ibu ga liat aja hahhaaa..yah, namanya juga anak SMA.

I don't have one! I haven't make something BIG in my life bahkan dari yang cere2 jadi pelajar teladan lokal sekalipun, apalagi sesuatu yang lebih besar. Ada kan orang yang terlahir penuh  dengan achievement, tapi gue rasa gue bukan salah satunya. Dari bayi gue ga pernah menang kontes bayi sehat kemudian masuk iklan di tv karena lucu, semasa sekolah gue ga ikutan gadis sampul dan kuliah juga begitu2 aja..sekarang kerja juga ga ada achievement apapun. 

Bahkan waktu interview untuk diangkat permanen di kantor gue, boss gue nanya kira-kira begini: "ayo dong, apa achievement kamu selama kerja disini..show us something that make us sure that u have make an achievement during your employment here" *maksudnya pasti selain achievement dimana gue telah dilantik menjadi sesuatu dan bergabung dalam sesuatu perhimpunan dan kemudian sesuatu perhimpunan itu bertengkar hebat dengan perhimpunan lain yang dibentuk dari orang-orang yang memisahkan diri dari sesuatu perhimpunan tersebut* pusing ga sih lo bacanya??? Tapi itulah yang gue tulis sebagai achievement dalam essay gue untuk jadi permanen 

Then my gay friend continued her speech "come on, of course you can make something big in your life..you can get pregnant..hey, getting pregnant means make something big... make your belly big, make your b*tt big, make your b**bs big..." 

plakkk *tampar, berusaha menghibur tapi salah*
