Wedding MC part.1

I'm ready to go! :D

Juni 2011 lalu (udah lama sii :P), saya ngemsi di pernikahan teman saya di salah satu hotel di Surabaya. Hotelnya tidak besar, Event-nya juga  tidak besar.. but it was quite festal, really fun and gave a great experience.

Berhubung saat itu saya independent, gak pakai nyalon, gak ikut make up di rias pengantin teman saya itu, dsb; semua saya persiapkan dan lakukan sendiri. Benar-benar sendiri, padahal biasanya kalo urusan make up, saya serahkan ke temen saya yang jago ngrias atau nyalon. Tapi, biar terbiasa juga menghadapi keadaan seperti ini jika dibutuhkan, akhirnya semua saya kerjakan sendiri. Ada beberapa hal nih yang harus kita siapkan sebelum maju ke medan perang alias ngEmsi:

Outfit and all..

- Outfit: baju, higheels / sepatu, jilbab (jika berjilbab), accessories, etc. Siapkan outfit yang akan dipakai beberapa hari sebelum hari H. Jika memang terpaksa membeli baju baru atau sepatu baru, pastikan anda sudah membelinya jauh jauh hari. Hal ini untuk menghadapi kemungkinan jika baju yang anda beli ternyata terlalu besar sehingga membutuhkan extra perbaikan disana sini. Selain juga anda harus 'merasa nyaman' memakai pakaian itu. Jangan sampai, waktu on stage anda terlihat kikuk karena tidak nyaman dengan outfit yang anda pakai. BIG NO! 

of course this is not the right outfit. I'm just giving an example !

- Make up: If you intend to make up on your own, make sure you have all equipments and make up kits. Kalau bisa, anda punya sendiri semua peralatannya, mulai dari make-up hingga applicator-nya. This will ease your mind to do all preparation well.

- Script plus text holder dsb. Siapkan script yang akan anda bawakan di acara nanti beberapa hari sebelum hari H, and remember to practice. As people said: Practice makes perfect! :) 

Nah, untuk ukuran text yang nanti akan anda masukkan ke text holder, ukur dan potong sesuai ukuran yang anda inginkan. Jangan terlalu besar;  ukuran A4 misalnya - karena bisa-bisa orang mengira anda lagi bawa proposal. Jangan terlalu kecil juga, bisa-bisa orang mengira anda lagi bawa catatan utang hihihi. A quarter of an A4 page will be great.

- And self-preparation: This is including your health, conversation you will perform and any others. Remember to practice 'speaking' everyday before the day the party is held. Usahakan script yang anda buat, sudah jadi beberapa hari sebelum hari H, jadi anda bisa berlatih sebanyak mungking. Ingat, ini bukan presentasi di kampus dengan teman-teman sekeleas dan dosen sebagai audience, bukan taping acara TV dimana jika anda melakukan kesalahan bisa diulang lagi sampai bagus. Ini acara live yang mungkin akan di datangi ratusan orang. Jadi kalau salah gak bisa diulang. Thus, you need to have a lot of pratice before do the real performance on stage. Jangan lupa juga jaga suara. Walaupun bukan acara live singing contest, tapi suara tetap jadi prioritas utama disini. Gak lucu dong, kalau karena kecapekan, terlalu banyak teriak atau terlalu banyak minum es, suara anda jadi serak dan lebih parahnya gak keluar sama sekali pas hari H. Udah cantik di panggung, dilihat ratusan pasang mata.. eh, suara malah gak keluar karena salah treatment beberapa hari sebelumnya.

Walaupun kalau lagi nyanyi di panggung kadang masih suka grogi, tapi yakinlah Ngemsi lebih relaxing and tranquilizing daripada nyanyi. Atmosfernya jauh lebih me-rilekskan dan menyenangkan daripada nyanyi satu lagu yang durasinya 3 menit di panggung. Anda gak akan grogi atau nervous sama sekali. Ini sudah saya alami selama saya Ngemsi dan nyanyi. Krasa bedanya. Rasanya... biasa aja, kaya' ngomong sama temen aja. Kaya' siaran aja! gak ada nervous-nervousnya sama sekali.

Luv the hijab style I made :*

Nah, ini nih yang mau saya pamerin sebenernya, hijab style yang saya pakai waktu itu. Biasanya mempercayakan orang untuk 'hijab-do' saya, namun waktu itu saya ingin melakukan sendiri. Dan hasilnya, lumayan untuk newbie :) banyak yg bilang bagus sih, dan bahkan gak percaya kalau saya melakukan semuanya sendiri, mulai dari make-up hingga hijab-do. Ehehe, intip deh, kreasi jilbab yang satu ini.

Common style indeed

Style ini sih sudah banyak digunakan orang sebenernya. Tapi tetep aja, once we sucessfully did something on our own, with our own hands, it feels like.. awh, awesome! We did it! Yeaayy!

Nah, selain ngemsi, saya biasanya didaulat buat nyanyi juga.. 

Owkai, I looked like a hobit beside her :|

Ada yang lagi butuh MC wedding atau wedding singer? contact me! hehehe :P

I’m missing him so much.

Yes, I remembered the first time I got introduced to him, March, 27 2010. I moved to a new lodging house and got a new room then. People on my new lodging house had been really familiar with him, though none of them was care about him. Yes, everybody just calling and ignoring. Since then, I knew him and got to know him so well. I caressed him every time I saw him near. I invited him into my room, invited him to sleep on my bed. I kissed his furry stomach, played with his furry legs. I loved his strong body, his strong legs and I mostly spent my time playing with him. Though he loved biting my nails, and often chewing my fingers, but I loved it.

Soooo handsome. And super cute :)

I fed him every day. He could well remember the sound of my bike that every time I got home from work, he ran to me and welcoming me behind the entrance gate. I smiled and carried him in. I’m missing carrying his corpulent body, and his voice. I mostly cooked my own meal every day, and I remembered his favorite food, fried egg! Absolutely! . That’s why I fried egg for him almost every night. And he was impatiently approaching me, tried to catch his favorite one, hahaha.

Look at his belly ;)

I remembered every night I was like a small family. We were like a mum, dad and a son haha, with me, my boy and him sitting together, enjoying our last meal to dine up. He always sat in the middle, try reaching mine and try reaching my boy’s . Well, he was our best friend, that the first ‘person’ I called when I’s home is him, instead of calling any other people. 

He's cute right?

I knew by heart his habit. Knocking my door with his rough mewing, and slept on my bed or on my bag. And sometimes I treated his body as a pillow, lying my head on it :P. One day the lodging house was renovated, then we all had to move somewhere else. I couldn’t help to leave him alone, letting him finding his own food without any help from me, and tried be okay for not seeing him. It was about two months leaving him, and I came back then. Seeing him again. I hugged him every time, and that time I saw him older, his aging was so noticeable. I knew so well how a cat reached the stage of aging, that soon will end its life. I knew it and I felt a little afraid of.

He was so spoiled

On December 2010, I was sick, and had to rest for about a week. He accompanied me in my room. Being such a best friend to be with. And his mewing was like a pain killer for me. And he took me to the bathroom when I was afraid to . He was so spoiled but so nice.

This what I told. He loved sleeping on my bag

I moved my room, and he still followed me. Then I invited him to sleep in my room every night. Treating him as my cushion or bolster . Until January, 2011, he rarely coming home. I mostly searched him all around until I gave up and could only wait for him to come home. Until one day, in the beginning of January 2011. He did not come home for about three days, and that he always mewing roughly and loudly every night before, until he was disappeared for several days. I just wondered why. I didn’t know what happen with him. Maybe he was sick, feeling his painful or else. I didn’t really understand. So sorry  sweetie…

I really did not have any idea of what he was thinking through my window  :P

I was worried about him that I searched him around but I couldn’t find. I then got some sausages, another favorite food of him, as a present when he came home. The next morning, he came home and I was really happy, hugging him tightly. He then slept on my office bag. Hey, I needed to use this bag, please wake up! I needed to go to work. And so sorry I got to pull my bag from under his body. He’s waking up, mewing and looked at me. I smiled and took out some sausages, and gave him some. He ate ravenously. He acted like he did not let me leave him alone. He cuddled, ran to me, played around, attracted me to come to him and didn’t want me to go. But I should go. I should work, sorry!

Again, he was thinking about 'life' hahaha :D

At night, I came home, and my landlord suddenly came to me and said. “Your cat’s dead this afternoon”. I said this was not true, he must be kidding. But he then convinced me and showed me where he buried him. I cried like a baby. I didn’t know how to feel. He’s really my best friend when I was alone, when I was afraid, when I was sick. He was the only one I could talk to without grumbling, without giving any comments, without complaining what I was talking about. Though he was biting me a lot, but I liked it. He’s gone on January… I did not even know him for a year yet. 10 months only, and he’s gone away…

with me...

He’s so much like Hachiko. Yes, he’s my Hachiko. His name’s Komeng. And I’m missing him a lot. Komeng, my best cat – my best friend. 

The latest photo of him and my boy. Taken on my boy's b'day, December, 29 2010

Sekeplas untuk hujan

Bukan pertama kalinya, aku menulis sajak untuk kamu
Mungkin, sudah ratusan rangkaian kata yang aku kirim khusus buat kamu
menuaskan apa yang aku rasakan
Tiap kamu turun untuk pertama kali di sepanjang tahun,

Setiap kamu turun, walau setetes
bau tanah basah menyeruak
dan sekeping memoriku menyerbak
Sekeping semangatku berbunga


Entah kenapa
Aku hanya ingin memandangimu turun satu persatu
sambil melamun
sambil memikirkan entah apa


Memandangimu sambil tersenyum
memandangimu sembari mengangkat kembali semua memori yang sudah aku jalani bersamamu
sembari mengingat kembali ketika aku berjalan tanpa peduli basah karenamu


Aku ingat betapa dulu aku selalu menunggumu turun, mengguyurku
Dan aku berlari lari sambil tertawa
Aku memandang ke atas dan membiarkan wajahku terbasuh kamu


Aku bergandengan dengan mereka, berlari menyusuri tanah lapang hingga kamu berhenti turun
Lalu aku dan mereka pulang
menunggumu muncul kembali entah kapan


Setiap kali kamu  turun lagi
Aku kembali tersenyum dan bersiap menjemputmu
Menemanimu menyapa rerumputan bersama sejuta kenangan
Dan aku membaca semua memori yang ingin aku lihat
Aku tersenyum menyaksikan setiap keping kenangan yang ingin aku saksikan
Aku menyaksikan masa kecilku, keluargaku, semuanya


Hingga kini aku masih menunggumu yang belum muncul
Hujan...

Tuhan, temui aku di tempat biasa sore ini...

Tuhan..

Entah.
hatiku kacau balau
Mungkin, aku telah menuaskan warna yang salah pada kertas yang Kau berikan dulu

Entah.
Aku menyukai warna merah
Dan seketika itu, ku beli pena dengan tinta merah
Untuk menulis di atas kertasku

Aku rindu bercanda denganmu Tuhan...

Entah.
Sudah cukup lama rasanya, kita tidak bersenda gurau seperti dulu
Aku bahkan sudah lupa,
Kapan terakhir kali aku bercengkrama denganmu, dengan senyum tersungging di bibirku
Atau dengan tanpa amarahku

Aku ingin menceritakan apapun yang aku alami hari ini

Entah kenapa
Kali ini aku sangat ingin menangis di bahuMu Tuhan..
Aku ingin bercerita padamu seperti dulu

Mungkin karena bau tanah basah hari ini
Atau karena hujan yang batal mengguyur
Atau mungkin karena lagu-lagu mellow

Tuhan, aku ingin bercerita padamu
Atas semua yang terjadi padaku hari ini, kemarin dan bahkan minggu lalu

Aku ingin tidak ada rahasia lagi diantara kita
Aku ingin bercerita lagi besok

Dan Ahh..

Aku harus pergi kini
Belum puas aku mencurahkan rinduku padamu
Tunggu aku Tuhan,
Aku akan kembali, nanti sore..
Di sini

Tunggu aku Tuhan
Temui aku disini, sore ini
Temui aku di tempat biasa sore ini..
