.Alibi.
Yippiiee i’m flying off to Vietnam tomorrow for my Business Study Mission rame2 bareng anak2 Nanyang MBA yang lain. And somehow I manage to use it as an excuse to shop till i drop yesterday @ Orchard. Isn’t life wonderful :p
.
.Pelarian.
Pelarian, pelarian, pelarian…. Yak I need to find myself sebuah pelarian supaya ga terus2an terjebak sama mindset gue yang akhir2 ini lagi penuh kecemasan dan kekhawatiran. Though it doesnt solve my problem, but at least it made me feel better 
.
.Sale Season.
Berhubung gue ga punya cukup banyak baju formal disini buat gue bawa ke Vietnam, akhirnya gue luangin waktu gue sehari kmrn buat beli baju2 kerja di Orchard. Good thing it’s sale season. So I didn’t have to worry a lot about my expenditure. Hehehehe.
.
.Alteration.
So after jumatan and have lunch at my favorite indo resto (with my favorite menu: sop buntut + nasi uduk + teh manis), gue muter2 around paragon, takashimaya and wisma atria. I bought my self a pair of trouser from Topman yang butuh gue potong (harap maklum kaki gue pendek :p). So i went to Lucky Plaza to get it altered. The aunty (rada kagok juga sih ngikutin kebiasaan org sini yang selalu manggil tante2 penjaga toko dgn sebutan "aunty") told me that she would take around 30 min to finish my trouser. So i have to find something productive to spend the next 30 min.
.
.Spending My Precious Time.
Just when I thought things couldn’t get easier. Bbrp blok dr tokonya si aunty itu gue nemu tempat pijet refleksi. Gue tanya berapa harganya, terus ibu2 yg jaga bilang sgd 30 for 45 min. Not bad. Ga semahal tempat gue terakhir pijet refleksi di lucky plaza jg. Terus gue dipijet dhe sama bapak2nya (mgkn ini suaminya si ibu yg jawab tadi kali ya). Tempatnya cozy bgt and sepi banget. Somehow gue ngerasa kasian krn tempatnya rada mojok gt (mgkn krn dia ga mampu byr sewa yang mahal kl harus ambil tempat yang rada terbuka disitu) n ga ada org yg notice.
Well, terus bapak itu mulai mijit gue. Pijetannya enak bgt. And orgnya halus n sopan banget. Gue jadi mikir … such a great service.
Setelah selesai 45 min. Gue bayar ke ibu2nya didepan. Bapak2 tadi bukain pintunya buat gue. Gue baru sadar pas liat dia jalan. Kakinya cacat!! makanya dia jalannya ter-pincang2 pas menuju pintu depan.
.
.Gratitude & Love.
Gue jadi kasian ama dia. Mulai mikir, kenapa Tuhan jahat banget ama dia. He is a very nice oldman. Sangat sopan, lembut, murah senyum, ramah, baik. Tapi begitu berat cobaan yg dia terima. Kakinya cacat. His massage parlour is empty. Kenapa ya Allah orang sebaik itu musti Engkau beri cobaan seperti itu. I’ll comeback again to this place some other time to get another massage from him.
But, he always smile during that time. He didn’t look sad at all. He didn’t look to suffer from his unfortunate condition. He looked very friendly. He looked happy. He looked grateful.
Oh God, kalau dia aja bisa tersenyum dalam kondisi itu, kenapa aku ga bisa. Kenapa aku yang hanya diberi cobaan yang seperti ini dan sudah diberi sekian banyak kenikmatan dariMu masih aja meratap dan mengeluh.
I know that ukuran "berat" utk sebuah ujian itu sangat relatif. I might say that that is heavy, but he might say that it’s nothing.
Maafin aku ya Tuhan. Give me the power to be able to embrace anything. I know that everything that has happen and will happen in my life happens because You love me. Please forgive for always complaining.
Ajari aku utk bisa lebih mensyukuri nikmat dan ujian dariMu. Ajari aku utk bisa lebih mencintaiMu. Ajari aku utk bisa menjadi lebih baik. Please help me.

.Answer.
So okay, pelarian won’t give me any solution to my problem. But sometime, you just don’t need an answer to solve your problem. You just have to change the way you think. Because sesuatu yang lo pikir adalah sebuah "problem" could actually be a "blessing" in disguise.

Whatever happen in your life happens because God love you
