Berhubung keliatannya setelah ditarik sini diulur sana, dan kebalikannya… jadual rencana kopdar yang diusulkan selalu tidak bisa pas untuk satu dua atau tiga bahkan lebih keluarga… maka diputuskan setelah tidak melalui perdebatan panjang… kita KOPDAR yuk!

Nanti awal bulan Juli kita akan kopdar lagi, supaya yang baru pada pulang mudik bisa bagi-bagi oleh-oleh makanan, hehehe…

KOPDAR ISM
waktu: jam 09.00 pagi, Minggu, 27 Mei 2007,
tempat: pantai Palawan, pulau Sentosa,
warna pakaian: coklat, coklat, coklat… [penting ya? hihihihi….]

Demikian ya, teman-teman. Jangan kuatir telat, menurut pengalaman ada saja oknum yang berjemur sampai sore di pantai. Hhehehe…

Masalah makanan, seperti biasa saja. Silakan bereksperimen di dapur sendiri-sendiri, kita saling coba hasilnya.

Kira1 bulan akhir bulan Maret 07 saya kebetulan duduk2 didepan Wisma sama temen dari Jakarta. Saya emang punya punya hobby melepas rasa cape duduk di bangku2 di pinggiran Orchard Rd sambil liatin orang2 yang lalu lalang.

Saya liat ada orang Indonesia kira-kira umur 30 th-an, saya liat dia asik banget ngobrol sama temenya pakai bahasa dialek Jakarta kental. Mungkin saking asiknya ngobrol tanpa sadar dia buang puntung rokok di jalanan. Tiba-tiba orang tadi ditangkap sama beberapa orang yang akhirnya saya tau mereka polisi yang berpakaian sipil. Akhirnya terjadi perang mulut lumayan seru antara polisi dan orang yang buang puntung rokok tadi. Orang tersebut marah karena saya liat cara penangan polisi tersebut sangat kasar dan bentak-bentak enggak sopan. Nguping punya nguping dia didenda $200.

Tiba-tiba saya liat ada orang bule. mungkin orang Amerika yang dengan santai membuang puntung rokok di depan sang polisi dan sang polisi liat jelas bahwa si bule buang puntung rokok.

Saya jadi penasaran, liat kejadian yang menurut saya enggak fair ini. saya samperin si polisi, saya bilang ke polisi sambil nunjuk ke arah si bule; WHY YOU LET HIM FREE. DID YOU SEE HE DROPS HIS CIGARETE. AS WELL,  Si polisi diam membisu alias enggak jawab pertanyaan saya. Saya tanya lagi YOU LET HIM FREE CAUSE HE IS NOT INDONESIAN. HE MIGHT BE AMERICAN. Polisi enggak jawab lagi dan tetep asik meneruskan proses denda terhadap orang Indonesia tadi. saya tanyanya lagi  DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH ? hahahhahaa…… dia diem lagi booww…… akhirnya orang indonesia yang ditangkep tadi juga ikutan ketawa ngakak.

Mungkin ini bisa jadi salah satu bukti rasis yang mulai muncul di singapore terhadap orang Indonesia yang dianggap kaya raya jadi bikin sirik orang2 singapore.

maaf, ini kebetulan saja,
kebetulan saya liat di koran straits times hari ini ada pembantun rmh tangga
– yg kebetulana orang indonesia,
boong ngarang cerita kalau dia itu diabused sama majikannya.
akhirnya setelah diinterogasi, dia akhirnya ngaku dia cuman ngarang doang,
krn sebenarnya cuman pingin pulang ke indonesia,
busyet…

kacau juga si mbak prt ini,
si majikan selain marah-marah dan sakit ati,
sempat juga diinterogasi selama 2 jam sama polisi.

si mbak pembantu akhirnya di hukum penjara 5 minggu,
anyway, pas kemarin banget — pada kebetulan yang lain — saya baca di
koran,
ada mbak prt lain yg benar-benar disiksa berulang kali oleh majikannya,
majikannya dihukum penjara 3 minggu.

apa seseorang yang ngeboong diperkosa, misalnya,
hukumannya lbh besar dari orang yg benar-benar memperkosa?

bisa jadi,
tapi nggak tau juga saya.
